[01:46] hey [01:46] looking for a little bit of help if any ones around? [01:47] any one? === hatake is now known as rhyda === XenGi is now known as XenGi_ === XenGi_ is now known as XenGi === XenGi is now known as XenGi_ === XenGi_ is now known as XenGi === XenGi is now known as XenGi_ === XenGi_ is now known as XenGi === XenGi is now known as XenGi_ === XenGi_ is now known as XenGi === XenGi is now known as XenGi_ [14:06] it sucks rather hard that ubuntu won't run on the raspberry pi [14:07] why do you want to run ubuntu there? Oo [14:24] because galicaster uses a bunch of things and is built on ubuntu [14:27] are you sure that rPI is even powerful enough to run that? [14:42] 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? [14:43] and is there a list of software available anywhere? [14:50] liono: skype is binary crap, so you almost certainly can't use it on arm. [14:51] hell, it barely works on x86 [14:51] liono: but anything open source is easy enough to build if it's not in the repos [14:51] ogra_: I'm about to demo flashing nexus7 with ubuntu touch/core. [14:51] do we have working latest images? [14:52] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-preinstalled/last-good-image/ [14:52] (which is the one from the 4th) ... [14:52] todays should just be building [14:52] 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 [14:53] 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] liono, 90% of the ubuntu archive are available on arm ... no need to compile stuff usually [14:54] oh wow, that's a lot more complete than I thought it would be [14:54] indeed, binary x86 stuff like skype isnt available ... [14:54] liono: most of the open source stuff *just works* so it's easy to just recompile [14:54] liono: ie it's already in the repos [14:54] yeah that's fine re: skype, I was just throwing that out there as a 'hard one' [14:55] and it looks like dropbox allows you to compile it from source...this ARM chromebook is looking better every second [14:55] 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] so there is *some* binary crap working ;) [14:55] :) [14:55] (oh and flash indeed) [14:56] I like crouton's way of simul-running distros [14:56] er simul-running chromeos and xubuntu [15:01] dang, it looks like skype offers a .tar.bz2 [15:02] with x86 binaries, yes [15:02] ha [15:02] I was just getting it to open it [15:02] there are even ubuntu packages in the canonical partner repo [15:02] :p [15:03] arm packages in partner? [15:03] nope [15:03] dang [15:03] there are no arm binaries from microsoft ... at least none that would run on linux [15:05] 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 [15:07] pretty tricky [15:07] just realized I'm relying on spotify for a lot of my music [15:07] which deffo is not open source and not compiled for arm [15:08] ogra_: yeah, using last-good and it works. ok. [15:08] well thank you guys so much for your help! I have some thinking to do [15:08] heh, FSVO Ok [15:08] catch you later! [15:08] xnox, have a keyboard ready :) [15:08] ogra_: i'm demoing preseeding, so no keyboard needed =) [15:09] hehe, youre cheating :P === NekoXP is now known as Neko [19:30] ogra_: i showed them usb-creator flashing nexus7 and everyone loved it.
