| RoyK | it sucks rather hard that ubuntu won't run on the raspberry pi | 14:06 |
| tassadar__ | why do you want to run ubuntu there? Oo | 14:07 |
| RoyK | because galicaster uses a bunch of things and is built on ubuntu | 14:24 |
| tassadar__ | are you sure that rPI is even powerful enough to run that? | 14:27 |
| liono | hi everyone, I'm thinking about getting a samsung chromebook and using crouton. my only question is: what do the ARM repos look like--can you easily install Pidgin, say, or Skype? | 14:42 |
| liono | and is there a list of software available anywhere? | 14:43 |
| Zero_Chaos | liono: skype is binary crap, so you almost certainly can't use it on arm. | 14:50 |
| Zero_Chaos | hell, it barely works on x86 | 14:51 |
| Zero_Chaos | liono: but anything open source is easy enough to build if it's not in the repos | 14:51 |
| xnox | ogra_: I'm about to demo flashing nexus7 with ubuntu touch/core. | 14:51 |
| xnox | do we have working latest images? | 14:51 |
| ogra_ | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-preinstalled/last-good-image/ | 14:52 |
| ogra_ | (which is the one from the 4th) ... | 14:52 |
| ogra_ | todays should just be building | 14:52 |
| liono | Zero_Chaos: I'm trying to decide whether to go with the c7 (x86) or the samsung (ARM). I realize that I can build stuff but I'm wondering how often I'll have to do that | 14:52 |
| Zero_Chaos | liono: all the basics are definately there. the arm port is reasonably complete. at least the raring one that I was playing with was. I'm guessing the precise one was good too | 14:53 |
| ogra_ | liono, 90% of the ubuntu archive are available on arm ... no need to compile stuff usually | 14:53 |
| liono | oh wow, that's a lot more complete than I thought it would be | 14:54 |
| ogra_ | indeed, binary x86 stuff like skype isnt available ... | 14:54 |
| Zero_Chaos | liono: most of the open source stuff *just works* so it's easy to just recompile | 14:54 |
| Zero_Chaos | liono: ie it's already in the repos | 14:54 |
| liono | yeah that's fine re: skype, I was just throwing that out there as a 'hard one' | 14:54 |
| liono | and it looks like dropbox allows you to compile it from source...this ARM chromebook is looking better every second | 14:55 |
| ogra_ | if you use a chromebook it has the advantage that you can dual boot ... and for things like google hangouts you just switch over | 14:55 |
| ogra_ | so there is *some* binary crap working ;) | 14:55 |
| liono | :) | 14:55 |
| ogra_ | (oh and flash indeed) | 14:55 |
| liono | I like crouton's way of simul-running distros | 14:56 |
| liono | er simul-running chromeos and xubuntu | 14:56 |
| liono | dang, it looks like skype offers a .tar.bz2 | 15:01 |
| ogra_ | with x86 binaries, yes | 15:02 |
| liono | ha | 15:02 |
| liono | I was just getting it to open it | 15:02 |
| ogra_ | there are even ubuntu packages in the canonical partner repo | 15:02 |
| liono | :p | 15:02 |
| liono | arm packages in partner? | 15:03 |
| ogra_ | nope | 15:03 |
| liono | dang | 15:03 |
| ogra_ | there are no arm binaries from microsoft ... at least none that would run on linux | 15:03 |
| ogra_ | one might be able to rip them out of a cracked surface RT ... but then you would need wine on arm to have support for RT to execute it... which it doesnt | 15:05 |
| liono | pretty tricky | 15:07 |
| liono | just realized I'm relying on spotify for a lot of my music | 15:07 |
| liono | which deffo is not open source and not compiled for arm | 15:07 |
| xnox | ogra_: yeah, using last-good and it works. ok. | 15:08 |
| liono | well thank you guys so much for your help! I have some thinking to do | 15:08 |
| ogra_ | heh, FSVO Ok | 15:08 |
| liono | catch you later! | 15:08 |
| ogra_ | xnox, have a keyboard ready :) | 15:08 |
| xnox | ogra_: i'm demoing preseeding, so no keyboard needed =) | 15:08 |
| ogra_ | hehe, youre cheating :P | 15:09 |
