| tripelb | Someone should make a note about this channel and put it in the welcome text in #ubuntu I have a nexus 7 and was alone... Heh | 07:01 |
|---|---|---|
| tripelb | The nexus channel is dark and empty. | 07:02 |
| tripelb | That's all for now. I'll be returning after rooting,. | 07:02 |

| dholbach | good morning | 07:39 |
| vipzrx | dholbach: moring | 07:42 |
| dholbach | hi vipzrx | 07:42 |
| darkfader | good morning all | 07:43 |
| darkfader | i'm new, didn't notice there's a channel until yesterday | 07:44 |
| vipzrx | welcome | 07:44 |
| vipzrx | i am in china，now is afternoon in our country | 07:45 |
| darkfader | i'm gonna make a few nagios-server on your datacenter-entrace showcases with a nexus7 and see how it's going | 07:45 |
| darkfader | I have one running for 2 months now or so and except browser memleaks it's doing a great job | 07:46 |

| darkfader | some questions... does one of you have the GPS working in ubuntu? I have stabbed at it last year but no success | 16:48 |
| darkfader | i don't wanna get the position, just the GPS time for NTP | 16:48 |
| darkfader | i have a non-3g model, if that matters | 16:49 |
| randomblame | can someone tell me what the best way to compile ubuntu for armv7 on x86 is? | 18:02 |
| randomblame | rootstock is depricated and the qemu kernel panics during the process | 18:03 |
| randomblame | and correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think live-build can't cross compile | 18:03 |
| Riddell | about how long should it take to "fastboot flash boot" an ubuntu image to a nexus 7? mine has taken about 20 minutes | 18:10 |
| Riddell | ogra_: is today's image too big? http://paste.kde.org/658604/ | 18:22 |
| ogra_ | Riddell, wrong image to wrong partition | 18:23 |
| Riddell | mm? | 18:23 |
| ogra_ | img goes to userdata | 18:23 |
| ogra_ | bootimg goes to boot | 18:23 |
| ogra_ | the "boot" partition is only 8M big | 18:23 |
| Riddell | ogra_: where do I get the bootimg? | 18:24 |
| Riddell | oh I see it | 18:24 |
| Riddell | ok I'll see if I can make that clearer in the install instructions, thanks ogra_ | 18:24 |

| randomblame | anyone have any advice for getting rootstock to work? | 19:59 |
| Rjs | darkfader: I'd also like to get a working GPS (and compass) for the nexus7... I tried but didn't get very far, though I found some parts of the solution: | 20:21 |
| Rjs | a) linux/arch/arm/mach-tegra/board-grouper-pinmux.c has a comment /* UART B : GPS */ and I think (from trying to understand the code in that directory) that UART B should be connected to /dev/ttyHS1 | 20:21 |
| Rjs | b) apparently the GPS chip uses a proprietary protocol, but some Replicant folks have been able to reverse-engineer some of it in another device: https://gitorious.org/replicant/crespo-gps-utils | 20:22 |
| Rjs | c) the compass chip seems to be supported by the kernel: it has a directory under /sys already; but I guess a light bridge from this to gpsd would still be needed (at least I think compass chips should also be connected via gpsd to make them work in the normal navigation software) | 20:22 |
| Rjs | ... I tried to use screen to connect to /dev/ttyHS1 using various baud rates, but couldn't get it to write anything back... I'm not sure if I did something wrong (e.g., there is a cryptic termios.c_cflag in b)) or whether the GPS chip should be powered on by something else before trying to connect (the code in b) does some power-up specific to the device it was written for, not nexus7) | 20:25 |
| Rjs | or maybe the comment in a) is wrong and the GPS isn't connected via UART at all: some random googling found that a Nokia phone from around 2010 had the same GPS chip apparently connected via I2C, so I presume it supports both | 20:26 |
| Rjs | (are any specifications available for the chip itself? I didn't find any, and I presume not, if the Replicant folks had to reverse-engineer it, I think by running a closed-source Android app and capturing traffic to the GPS chip... :( ) | 20:29 |

| darkfader | Rjs: i also couldn't connect to i think tty<something>2 which should have been the GPS line | 21:52 |
| darkfader | but seems you've been deeper into it. i can just verify it didn't work as it's apparently supposed to | 21:52 |
