[03:10] <MadRush> who's awake?
[03:11] <MadRush> id to learn a bit about linux on transformer infinity / nvidia tegra3 SoC ...
[03:11] <MadRush> lilstevie: would you happen to be available/
[03:12] <lilstevie> awake yes, available? only kinda
[03:13] <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?
[03:14] <MadRush> ...and if you've got a page to read i'd gladly do that rather than make you type a lot
[03:15] <lilstevie> well that depends, there are a few things which simply do not have a purpose under linux :p
[03:16] <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
[03:19] <MadRush> what few things are you talking about? also can you elaborate on the bumpy ride / nexus 7 demo
[03:21] <lilstevie> well when are you going to use the accelerometer or gyroscope in ubuntu :p
[03:21] <lilstevie> also the magnetometer
[03:22] <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
[03:23] <lilstevie> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2tGHfmM-TU <-- nexus 7 demo
[03:24] <MadRush> uh who did that, it wasnt cannonical was it?
[03:26] <lilstevie> that was canonical from what I am lead to believe
[03:27] <MadRush> hmm apparently.
[03:29] <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/
[03:30] <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
[03:31] <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
[03:32] <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
[03:33] <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.
[03:34] <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.
[03:57] <lilstevie> heh
[03:58] <lilstevie> my issues are that I have been sidetracked with other projects
[03:58] <lilstevie> like wheelie
[04:00] <MadRush> whats wheelie
[04:01] <MadRush> is linux on the tf700t doable right now? if so, do you have a URL (or several) i can look at/
[04:02] <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
[04:03] <lilstevie> and it might be, but I do not have anything on hand that you could read
[04:05] <MadRush> hmm would it suit me to read about how to do it on a tf201?
[04:06] <lilstevie> not really, cause I haven't written anything up yet, been far too busy
[04:07] <MadRush> aside from wheelie and ubuntu porting to transformers, what keeps you busy?
[04:08] <lilstevie> life?
[04:09] <MadRush> if you dont mind my asking, are you a professional programmer, a student perhaps?
[04:09] <lilstevie> I am a teacher
[04:10] <lilstevie> well student teacher
[04:10] <lilstevie> but I have a lot of assignments
[04:12] <MadRush> computer science or something else?
[04:12] <lilstevie> something else

[11:43] <asiekierka> anyone with a TF101?
[12:11] <lilstevie> asiekierka, maybe
[12:11] <asiekierka> great
[12:12] <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
[12:13] <lilstevie> heh
[12:14] <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
[12:15] <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
[12:16] <asiekierka> i wish i could get arch linux working
[12:16] <asiekierka> favourite distro
[12:19] <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
[12:20] <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
[12:21] <lilstevie> fwiw the issue is the initramfs is too big
[12:21] <asiekierka> trying that now...
[12:21] <asiekierka> ugh
[12:21] <asiekierka> brb
[12:40] <asiekierka> lilstevie: installed with dualboot, same error :|
[12:42] <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
[12:43] <lilstevie> heh
[13:00] <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 ._.
[13:01] <asiekierka> this time the battery went low
[13:01] <asiekierka> on rootfs install
[13:01] <lilstevie> probably cause the battery is flat
[14:24] <SoulShadow> man, chroembook looks so good if ubuntu could get ported onto it
