lilstevie<ogra_> one might be able to rip them out of a cracked surface RT ... <-- you really wouldn't need it to be cracked, you have full admin access on Windows RT, the only policies are you cannot run unsigned binaries or drivers00:34

yunfanhi i came here for asking if there is any plan for supporting ubuntu on samsung's arm chromebook?08:04
ogra_ynezz, not officially, but there is a lot chromeboot work from the community and it works flawless with ubuntu08:35
* ogra_ hugs xnox 08:36
ogra_lilstevie, well, then you would need to crack the signature ... carcking would be involved somewhere in the process :)08:36
lilstevieogra_, why would you need to crack the signature, low integrity level code (metro apps) don't have the same code sign integrity, also you could just not worry about checking the sig in wine for arm :p I think the bigger task is trying to emulate the metro APIs08:38
ogra_heh, yeah, well, thats a requirement in general for wine :)08:39
lilstevieyeah08:39
yunfanogra_: i have installed the chrUbuntu08:41
yunfanbut that's lack of multi-touch supoport08:42
yunfanand its X is reaaaaaly slow while the tty is quite flex08:42
ogra_yunfan, using unity ?08:42
ogra_(and sorry ynezz)08:43
yunfanogra_: yep, i just wondering if they have some debug code like sleep 9999908:43
ogra_haha08:43
ogra_no08:43
ogra_but there is definitely something wrong with the GLES support for mali ...08:43
yunfaneverytime when i press the key, i need to wait for the terminal window's response action08:43
ogra_gles itself runs fine for me but unity seems ot still do SW rendering nontheless08:44
ogra_oh, its not that bad for me08:44
ogra_its actually usable ... just not as fast as it could be, did you copy the binary libs from chromeos ?08:45
yunfani heard that ubuntu touch would be run on galaxy note2 which share the same cpu with my chromebook08:45
yunfani didnt , just follow the install step from chrUbuntu08:45
ogra_ubuntu touch is based on cyanogenmod08:45
yunfanmabybe they did in that shell script08:45
yunfanoop08:46
ogra_unless someone has chromebook support added to that it wont "just run" with code from another device08:46
ogra_and ubuntu touch doesnt use X at all08:46
yunfangot it, that's why you have ac100 supporting?08:46
yunfani also own an ac10008:46
yunfanwhich after update to the armHF version, runs very fast08:47
ogra_i started the ac100 port several years ago ... there wasnt even a tought for ubuntu touch ...08:47
yunfanbut the battery life is terrible08:47
ogra_and keeping ac100 alive was a constant matter of pain dealing with the binary drivers08:47
lilsteviealso ac100 is very much a netbook08:48
ogra_i still love my ac100 and the 8-9h battery life are definitely unbeaten08:48
lilstevieIMO much better suited to a desktop environment though08:48
yunfanso the simple answer is there're not an official plan for supporting samsung's chromebook ?08:48
ogra_but 512M just hurt08:48
yunfanwell by using LXDE, i feel the ac100 is just enough , but the battery which is a real problem , i cant accept 1.5 hour08:49
yunfanand its powerline is ugly08:49
ogra_yunfan, canonical wont support it ... but hrw did already so much packaging work that we could probably build images for it at some point if someone does the work to implement that in the build system08:49
ogra_yunfan, your battery is clearly broken08:50
ogra_i get 8-9h out of one charge08:50
yunfanogra_: i have send to the factory and they told me its normal :[08:50
yunfanogra_: well another question08:50
ogra_and i own three ac100's which all get me that08:50
hrwyunfan: you really want to abandon unity/3d in favour of something working08:50
ogra_hrw, no, you want to file bug reports and pester daniel van vugt :)08:51
hrwogra_: I dropped opengles driver from ppa08:51
hrwogra_: no redistribution license08:51
yunfanogra_: can you recommend a quick turtorial for my learning arm asm ? i am a python engineer currently, i knew those binary trans 2's complement number things08:51
ogra_good move ... better have a howto for people to copy the stuff from chromeos08:52
hrwogra_: will do such08:52
ogra_yunfan, so your answer is, no, chromebook will never get official support, but it might come to a level where the ac100 is at some point08:53
ogra_(which never was officially supported)08:53
yunfanogra_: that's good if it could arrive the ac100's level08:53
hrwyunfan: so far there are nearly no people doing work which ac100 community did08:54
yunfanogra_: what about my secondary question?08:54
ogra_building image is a matter of someone investing the time into implementing that in the build system ... for ac100 it was me who did that in his sparetime ... i dont currently have that much of spare time to do it again for a new device08:54
hrwI packaged kernel, handled opengles, x11 driver and had fingers in few other places but my time is limited08:54
yunfanhrw: yep, but sonner or later , people would do that, its just that device is in really use08:54
hrwduring Linaro Connect Asia I was fully ARMed - did not took x86 at all08:55
* ogra_ does that since 3 years :)08:55
ogra_but i'm a masochist if it comes to HW :)08:55
hrw:D08:56
yunfanguys, can you recommend a quickly arm asm turtorial for me plz?08:56
yunfanbtw, i prefer att syntax08:56
ogra_the arm page might have some08:56
* ogra_ tries to stay away from asm if possible08:56
yunfanits not that quick by therir documents08:56
hrwasm?08:57
hrwwhy anyone wants to learn asm08:57
yunfanyep08:57
hrw~armarm08:57
yunfanbecause i want to port my forth impl on arm platform08:57
hrwyunfan: do it in C08:57
ogra_use gcc atomics08:58
hrwC version will be faster, trust me08:58
yunfanwhich require emmit machine code while doing metaprogramming08:58
yunfanhrw: true man wont use c for their own forth  :]08:58
hrwC ver can also be tunned for a8/a9/a7/a15/a53/a57/aWHATEVER08:58
ogra_even if there is a massive performance advantage over asm ?08:59
hrwgood luck with hand tuning for a7/a1508:59
yunfanits just joking : ] i am intereting of low level things08:59
ogra_(and portability across the different arm arches)08:59
yunfanbut i dont like x86, so what i can choose is mips or arm. consider that i have two arm devices , so i choose arm08:59
ogra_well, i'm not touching asm ... and honestly never had to apart from fixing horrid stuff of people that (falsely) thought they need asm in their code to be fast09:00
ogra_so i cant point you to a tutorial ...09:00
yunfani am just reading CSAPP the greate book which lead me so interesting of low level things09:00
ogra_well, try #linaro during the week, you might find some asm specialists there09:01
yunfanno i am not need asm for just be fast, as a python engineer, i knew that most times implments that i wrote in c wont be faster that the python official's09:01
ogra_(but i'm pretty sur ethey'll tell you the same)09:01
lilsteviethe only time we use ASM is for payloads that need to be super small09:02
* lilstevie doesn't know asm09:02
lilstevie:p09:02
yunfani want to learn asm is that i am interesting of it and the low level things made me understand easier by the simple term and less complex09:02
* ogra_ knows some from his teenager days ... but thats looooong ago09:02
yunfani will try that , thanks ogra_09:03
lilsteviethat is a single case where asm is probably the better approach though, the whole bootloader situation on x86 is a good show of why doing something in asm is a bad idea09:03
lilsteviesyslinux or grub would be wonderful on arm09:03
yunfanogra_: as a chinese , i might just acts like your teanager in CS knowledges ,i bought PC when i was in college09:04
ogra_lilstevie, there is some arm code in grub ...09:12
ogra_just nothing finished ...09:12
hrwlilstevie: I saw grub on arm already10:18
hrwLinaro is working on it10:18

lilsteviehrw, heh yeah, but it is still nowhere near ready from what I've seen11:09

marvin24hi, I'm about to add http://paste.ubuntu.com/5602702/ to our version of flash-kernel18:24
marvin24it copies the right device tree from /lib/firmware to /boot18:24
marvin24so uboot can find it18:24
marvin24does this makes sense or is it totally bogus?18:24
marvin24ok, it's totally bogus to ask such questions on sunday eve18:32
marvin24(install to /etc/kernel/postinst.d, if someone wonders)19:04
ogra_marvin24, you mean to your kernel package, not flash-kernel, right ?23:09
