[08:24] <omac> rsalveti: good evening
[08:25] <omac> i noticed the ubuntu full image available for arm uses the linaro stuff.
[08:51] <infinity> omac: Uses "the linaro stuff"?
[08:53] <omac> well from what I understand there is a linuxonandroid installer.  It refers to an ubuntu1204-v4-full.zip
[08:54] <infinity> Oh, the linuxandroid stuff.  I thought you meant the official Ubuntu images.
[08:54] <infinity> And was confused. :P
[08:54] <omac> that zip when launched spews out information...I saw linaro mentioned in the boot messages
[08:55] <infinity> Well, if "Linaro" was mentioned in the kernel version, that's because it's in our compiler version stamp.
[08:56] <omac> infinity I have an advent vega and tried some different roms out there, but source for them is confusingly everywhere with different branches.
[08:57] <omac> cyanogenmod's version for the vega seems broken because I can't get usb-host-mode working so that I can use a mouse and keyboard with it.
[08:58] <omac> I have vegacomb3.2 installed, but it's a binary but it works and has shuttle gui tools to go into host mode.
[08:59] <omac> the odd thing is once I boot up the ubuntu1204-v4-full.zip within it, when I do an lsusb in it, it doesn't list any devices.
[09:06] <omac> infinity: you made a distinction about official ubuntu images.  They don't mention anything about advent vega.  ubuntu only mention a few other arm devices.
[09:13] <lilstevie> omac, not every arm device out there is supported officially by ubuntu
[09:14] <lilstevie> there are a few devices though that are supported by third parties
[09:17] <omac> pandaboard and pi and some other cool stuff I've seen.
[09:18] <omac> I don't own those yet though.  I would love to simply use what I have.  I thought owning an android device gave me digital liberties I was used to having with ubuntu.  I was wrong.
[09:19] <lilstevie> I don't think the pi has an official image 0.o
[09:20] <omac> pandaboard has a lot of stuff out there and you can build a cluster with those.  VERY COOL.
[09:21] <ogra_> lilstevie, i doub even an inofficial one :)
[09:23] <omac> I saw arm based ubuntu laptop available, but the image on it is ubuntu 10.10
[09:24] <omac> pandaboards are running 12.04...that's an edge for these.
[09:28] <omac> I currently can connect my Advent Vega with VegaComb3.2 Rom to my ubuntu Quantal Quetzal via usb and run/debug from eclipse ADT(android plugin), but I would have liked to see the ubuntu gui on the Advent Vega.  I have not succeeded in seeing Unity displayed on the Advent Vega yet.
[09:29] <omac> any way for me to get ubuntu arm debug messages spewed back to my ubuntu quantal quetzal computer?
[09:31] <omac> It would help me to understand why unity takes so long to boot up on the advent vega tablet.  The other concern is memory/cpu cycles.  android is still running while ubuntu is running.  I would love a way to simply halt the cpu cycles on the android side and place all the priority on the ubuntu side.
[15:27] <ogra_> stgraber, highvoltage, just FYI i have proper console (after initrd) now on the zatab .... still no MMC and still only 350MB
[15:27] <ogra_> (and still no touchscreen ... and wrt driver it looks pretty bad atm (proprietary blob apparently)
[15:28] <ogra_> but with the initrd we can at least see if it fails mounting /
[15:36] <stgraber> nice!
[15:47] <ogra_> yay
[15:47]  * ogra_ has plymouth fsck in front f him
[15:50] <highvoltage> ogra_: how do I get it? do you have an image up somewhere?
[15:50] <ogra_> so the trick is to build *all* display related parts as modules
[15:51] <ogra_> as long as "disp" is a module it will init a framebuffer console
[15:51] <ogra_> (do not compire fbcon, not even as a module)
[15:51] <highvoltage> heh, and here I thought it's always less problematic to do it the other way around
[15:51] <ogra_> indeed having it as a module you better want an initrd :)
[15:55] <ogra_> i wonder if making the mmc stuff modular would fix that too :P
[16:05] <stgraber> well, at least you could try to change load time options (assuming the mmc module has any)
[17:12] <zenx> is anyone able to compile 3.5.0-211.18 for omap4 pandaboard?
[18:11] <zenx> wow, lxde is so light it doesn't even come with a mouse cursor
[18:11] <zenx> :D
