| twb | An HP t410 "thin client" just landed on my desk, and I want to bypass the HP crap and netboot images a la PXE. A quick google suggests nobody has jailbroken these yet. Anybody here heard any diferent? | 01:50 |
| twb | Oh look, the menus give you a root shell | 01:51 |
| twb | OK, so its existing image is booting off mtdblock, and it's got a 2.6.37-atlas uImage in /boot | 01:57 |
| twb | That means it's using u-boot as the bootloader, right? | 01:57 |
| infinity | twb: Seems plausible. | 02:00 |
| === chihchun is now known as zz_chihchun | ||
| twb | I can see the mtdblockN's but I don't know where I'd find the uboot config file (if there is one) | 02:00 |
| infinity | twb: Well, there could be an external config file on the same partition at the u-boot binary, if it's loading in the "first FAT partition" mode, or it could be burned into firmware, and u-boot has no config file, cause you're expected to setenv/saveenv from the u-boot prompt. | 02:03 |
| infinity | twb: The latter could prove problematic if there's no way to SEE a u-boot prompt. | 02:03 |
| * twb runs blkid on all the block devices he can dfind | 02:03 | |
| twb | Apparently files.sotmarket.ru/instr/nettopy/hp/manual_hp_t410.pdf confirms that it's uboot | 02:03 |
| twb | Can only see a ext3 filesystem and a filesystem.sq inside it | 02:07 |
| twb | And yeah, when you boot it up, the screen doesn't appear to turn on until X starts | 02:07 |
| twb | (It's a single plastic box with an LCD and an arm computer inside; I haven't taken the housing off yet, so I dunno if there- | 02:07 |
| twb | aha, mtdblock5 is a uboot/ppcboot | 02:08 |
| twb | no sign of a fat with uboot config file yet | 02:10 |

| twb | Sweet, found the uboot config tools -- they are fw_* not u*[bB]oot* which is why I didn't spot them | 02:32 |

| zorky | hey. anyone here who can help me. i just got my raspberry pi 512mb, and i need to get an os on the sd card. how do i do that? do i need a sd card reader or can i plug the raspberry in the computer with an usb cable? | 14:31 |
| mosasaur | 512 mb is maybe a bit small for a modern os | 14:42 |
| zorky | it's the model 2 with 512mb ram.. do i really need a sd card reader to install the os with? or can i connect it to the computer? | 14:44 |
| infinity | zorky: Ubuntu can't run on the Pi, so this is likely the wrong channel to be asking in. | 14:56 |
| infinity | zorky: http://www.raspbian.org/ | 14:56 |
| infinity | zorky: The answer to your question, however, is that if the Pi doesn't currently have an OS, there's no way to use it to read/write an SD card, so you'd need to do so an another machine, yes. | 14:57 |
| infinity | s/do so an/do so on/ | 14:57 |
| === chuck_ is now known as zul | ||
| Rjs | memory requirements depend entirely on what you're doing with it - 512Mb is plenty for many uses, including some graphical ones (e.g., my current desktop system uses 123 Mb right now, and an embedded PC I use as a digi-tv recorder uses 42 Mb, and I haven't done anything special to lower the memory use) | 15:05 |
| Rjs | but (as far as I've gathered) Ubuntu doesn't particularly target low-memory systems or use cases, so that may be another reason why this is the wrong channel :) | 15:06 |
| === chihchun is now known as zz_chihchun | ||
| infinity | Rjs: Memory has nothing to do with it, the Pi is armv6, and Ubuntu literally *can't* run on it. | 16:02 |
| ogra_ | infinity, do you have any idea whom i should ping about dropping panda desktop images ? | 16:03 |
| * ogra_ is rwally not sure who can make such a decision | 16:03 | |
| ogra_ | *really | 16:04 |
| ogra_ | but it doesnt look like we'll have pvr support in the long term | 16:04 |
| ogra_ | even mid term | 16:04 |
| === XenGi is now known as XenGi_ | ||
| infinity | ogra_: I'm happy to take that decision, and any fallout from it. | 16:25 |
| infinity | ogra_: Technically, Jason Warner "owns" the product, but I doubt he has an opinion. You can ask to be nice, though. | 16:26 |
| ogra_ | ok, will do | 16:26 |

| xnox | ogra_: if you drop panda desktop, I'm shipping my panda to become a buildd, as nexus7 fully furfills my armhf needs. And panda here was a server / ubiquity-desktop testbed. | 18:06 |
| xnox | (server as in always on buildd, but I can totally fiddle with charging nexus7 in a more timely fashion) | 18:07 |
| xnox | (or whatever is the best use of an extra pandaboard - live builder / qa test machine / etc) | 18:07 |
| ogra_ | yeah, well, if you want to do native builds an USB disk on a panda is definitely way better than building on the MMC of the nexus | 18:08 |
