| MadRush | who's awake? | 03:10 |
|---|---|---|
| MadRush | id to learn a bit about linux on transformer infinity / nvidia tegra3 SoC ... | 03:11 |
| MadRush | lilstevie: would you happen to be available/ | 03:11 |
| lilstevie | awake yes, available? only kinda | 03:12 |
| MadRush | what's the current state of linux on a tegra system? are there any insurmountable hurdles to a full distribution taking advantage of the nvidia hardware? | 03:13 |
| MadRush | ...and if you've got a page to read i'd gladly do that rather than make you type a lot | 03:14 |
| lilstevie | well that depends, there are a few things which simply do not have a purpose under linux :p | 03:15 |
| lilstevie | the graphics stuff has been a pretty bumpy ride, but it looks like it will be working fine soon with the nexus 7 demo | 03:16 |
| MadRush | what few things are you talking about? also can you elaborate on the bumpy ride / nexus 7 demo | 03:19 |
| lilstevie | well when are you going to use the accelerometer or gyroscope in ubuntu :p | 03:21 |
| lilstevie | also the magnetometer | 03:21 |
| lilstevie | those 3 things currently do not work on the tf201 at least, I would expect mostly across the board though, cause they are things that people don't think about | 03:22 |
| MadRush | dont care about any of those things | 03:22 |
| lilstevie | as for the bumpy ride, nvidias drivers have been pretty bad | 03:22 |
| MadRush | they have drivers out for tegra3? | 03:22 |
| lilstevie | MadRush, see :p as I said "a few things that simply do not have a purpose under linux" :p | 03:22 |
| lilstevie | yes | 03:22 |
| lilstevie | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2tGHfmM-TU <-- nexus 7 demo | 03:23 |
| MadRush | uh who did that, it wasnt cannonical was it? | 03:24 |
| lilstevie | that was canonical from what I am lead to believe | 03:26 |
| MadRush | hmm apparently. | 03:27 |
| lilstevie | when it comes to the infinity I am working towards a single kernel that supports all 3 tegra3 transformers | 03:29 |
| MadRush | i see | 03:29 |
| lilstevie | to some degree it is already possible, I just need to look into side effects | 03:29 |
| MadRush | what exactly are you doing to achieve that? | 03:29 |
| MadRush | are you patching the kernel or something/ | 03:29 |
| MadRush | and, are HDMI out, speakers, cameras all working? | 03:30 |
| lilstevie | well the latest source drop from asus has all 3 devices support code | 03:30 |
| lilstevie | hdmi out <- I don't own a microhdmi cable. speakers <- oh boy are they fun, yes with bugs. cameras <- no | 03:30 |
| lilstevie | hdmi out should just work | 03:30 |
| lilstevie | but I honestly don't know | 03:30 |
| MadRush | well, i have a tf700t ... is there anything i can do to contribute? | 03:31 |
| lilstevie | sound is either on, or off, no variation | 03:31 |
| lilstevie | cameras I haven't even looked into at this stage | 03:31 |
| lilstevie | MadRush, have you done any kernel dev, or do you at least know C | 03:31 |
| MadRush | hdmi is the important one in my book, so i can use it as a desktop eventually | 03:31 |
| lilstevie | hdmi would be nice, but it is another thing that I have to buy just to test with, cause I will probably only use it once in the whole time the tf201 is in use | 03:32 |
| MadRush | ive yet to do kernel hacking but i think nows a good time to start. im handy with a few languages; over the summer i participated in an undergraduate research program where i attempted to write a javascript web app... NOT an expert but im a good learner | 03:33 |
| MadRush | ...what i mostly learned was a strong disdain for javascript and it makes me appreciate c/c++ and especially java. | 03:33 |
| MadRush | and as i continue this project i really wish we had a linux admin because im spending too much time screwing with my debian server and very little time writing javascript / php code. | 03:34 |
| lilstevie | heh | 03:57 |
| lilstevie | my issues are that I have been sidetracked with other projects | 03:58 |
| lilstevie | like wheelie | 03:58 |
| MadRush | whats wheelie | 04:00 |
| MadRush | is linux on the tf700t doable right now? if so, do you have a URL (or several) i can look at/ | 04:01 |
| lilstevie | http://androidroot.mobi/t3_nvflash/ <-- this is wheelie. If you have not done it yet (and you haven't updated to the .30 ics update, or further (read jb)) do it | 04:02 |
| lilstevie | and it might be, but I do not have anything on hand that you could read | 04:03 |
| MadRush | hmm would it suit me to read about how to do it on a tf201? | 04:05 |
| lilstevie | not really, cause I haven't written anything up yet, been far too busy | 04:06 |
| MadRush | aside from wheelie and ubuntu porting to transformers, what keeps you busy? | 04:07 |
| lilstevie | life? | 04:08 |
| MadRush | if you dont mind my asking, are you a professional programmer, a student perhaps? | 04:09 |
| lilstevie | I am a teacher | 04:09 |
| lilstevie | well student teacher | 04:10 |
| lilstevie | but I have a lot of assignments | 04:10 |
| MadRush | computer science or something else? | 04:12 |
| lilstevie | something else | 04:12 |

| asiekierka | anyone with a TF101? | 11:43 |
| lilstevie | asiekierka, maybe | 12:11 |
| asiekierka | great | 12:11 |
| asiekierka | because i'm trying to get Ubuntu on my TF101 for the 42nd time... | 12:12 |
| asiekierka | the funny thing is, when i did it the first time half a year ago, it worked first try | 12:12 |
| asiekierka | but i think i got it | 12:12 |
| asiekierka | actually, i'm pretty sure i did | 12:12 |
| lilstevie | heh | 12:13 |
| asiekierka | man, is it just the version of OLiFE i found | 12:14 |
| asiekierka | or is it incredibly buggy? | 12:14 |
| asiekierka | ext3c doesn't work, had to change to ext3 | 12:14 |
| asiekierka | and now i had to update the ubuntu rootfs as it didn't detect it from the main installer | 12:14 |
| asiekierka | many many little issues... but oh well | 12:15 |
| lilstevie | it is extremely buggy :) | 12:15 |
| asiekierka | ...hang on a second. | 12:15 |
| asiekierka | *checks README* | 12:15 |
| asiekierka | "(c) 2011 Steven Barker <lilstevie@lilstevie.geek.nz>" | 12:15 |
| asiekierka | *facepalms* | 12:15 |
| lilstevie | however the rootfs shouldn't matter as long as it is named correctly | 12:15 |
| asiekierka | yeah | 12:15 |
| asiekierka | it worked for the first five tries | 12:15 |
| asiekierka | on the sixth i had to put it in separately | 12:15 |
| lilstevie | heh, I have been meaning to update it | 12:15 |
| asiekierka | i wish i could get arch linux working | 12:16 |
| asiekierka | favourite distro | 12:16 |
| asiekierka | currently I get as far as to "VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0)" | 12:19 |
| asiekierka | and that only happens when i hold volume-up for 1 second | 12:19 |
| asiekierka | is there any more manual but WORKING way of installing Ubuntu on TF101? | 12:20 |
| lilstevie | heh | 12:20 |
| lilstevie | well most people just go dual boot | 12:20 |
| lilstevie | fwiw the issue is the initramfs is too big | 12:21 |
| asiekierka | trying that now... | 12:21 |
| asiekierka | ugh | 12:21 |
| asiekierka | brb | 12:21 |
| asiekierka | lilstevie: installed with dualboot, same error :| | 12:40 |
| lilstevie | asiekierka, with ubuntu as secondary? | 12:42 |
| lilstevie | (do that as a kernel update | 12:42 |
| asiekierka | i tried ubuntu as primary | 12:42 |
| asiekierka | lemme try ubuntu as secondary | 12:42 |
| asiekierka | also too late | 12:42 |
| asiekierka | i already did a full one... oh well | 12:42 |
| asiekierka | i have time | 12:42 |
| lilstevie | heh | 12:43 |
| asiekierka | [23157.551042] usb 6-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 | 13:00 |
| asiekierka | should i be rather seriously worried? | 13:00 |
| asiekierka | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1294846/ | 13:00 |
| asiekierka | happens when i try to get into APX mode after yet another failed install ._. | 13:00 |
| asiekierka | this time the battery went low | 13:01 |
| asiekierka | on rootfs install | 13:01 |
| lilstevie | probably cause the battery is flat | 13:01 |
| SoulShadow | man, chroembook looks so good if ubuntu could get ported onto it | 14:24 |
