[10:35] <Meizirkki> hi
[10:36] <Meizirkki> What prevents one from using android kernel directly with ubuntu?
[10:36] <Meizirkki> on a tablet, for example
[10:37] <ogra_> nothing .... but you need to change the configuration
[10:37] <ogra_> and it shouldnt be to old for some options the userspcae needs
[10:37] <ogra_> (udev or upstart require some settings that are only there from certain versions on)
[10:38] <Meizirkki> so as long as the kernel source is available one could in theory boot ubuntu on any tablet?
[10:38] <ogra_> well ... theoretically
[10:39] <ogra_> android kernels usually have no support for consoles enabled ... if you are lucky the vendor included a driver but disabled it ... often there is no code at all for this ...
[10:39] <Meizirkki> hmm
[10:40] <ogra_> the issue with android kernels is that they usually are heavily hacked to get driver support in ... but in a way that possibly breaks building the kernel with other configs
[10:41] <ogra_> so its really depending on how good the vendor implementation is or if its just a bad hack on top of a mainline kernel or so
[10:41] <Meizirkki> okay
[10:43] <ogra_> and then there are indeed no xorg drivers for most of the tablets out there since android doesnt use X
[10:44] <Meizirkki> Yup I see.
[10:44] <Meizirkki> Will wayland work?
[10:44] <ogra_> dunno, mir will :)
[10:44] <Meizirkki> (isn't it what ubuntu touch is looking forward to using)
[10:44]  * Meizirkki googles mir
[10:45] <ogra_> no, ubuntu touch will use Mir
[10:45] <ogra_> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mir/Spec
[10:45] <ogra_> its similar to wayland ... but different :)
[10:45]  * Meizirkki gets a bunch of submarines and space ships googling mir
[10:46] <ogra_> (there is an #ubuntu-mir channel)
[10:48] <Meizirkki> Thanks ogra_ :)
[11:01] <darkfader> Meizirkki: thanks for bringing ubuntu-on-android up, might help me solve my gps issue (if i dare try, that is)
[11:02] <Meizirkki> :)
[11:12] <aks_> hello all, i am working on beagleboard, i have installed ubuntu 11.04 image which was provided by vendor, now problem is i want to compile kerenl module for that but i m not able to get kerenl files in /lib/modules
[11:13] <aks_> even i not able to find source of that kernel
[11:13] <aks_> kernel version is 2.6.32
[11:24] <aks__> hello all,
[11:24] <aks__> i am working on beagleboard
[11:24] <aks__> i have installed ubuntu 11.04 image
[11:24] <aks__> on it which done not have kernel source
[11:25] <aks__> kernel version is 2.6.32
[11:25] <aks__> i want to compile kernel module
[11:25] <aks__> but i dont find kernel source image in installed image
[11:26] <aks__> so how can i do that
[19:44]  * Snark wonders if emacs runs on ubuntu-touch
[20:34] <pinportal_> hello, can I install Lubuntu in a CPU WM8650?
[20:36] <pinportal_> WM8650 = 600Mhz ARM926EJ-S processor
[20:37] <ogra_> nope, ubuntu (or lubuntu in that case) only supports ARMv7 and newer ... yours is a v5
[20:37] <ogra_> (see channel topic)
[20:54] <phillw> ogra_: thanks, I only know to send ARM questions here :) pinportal_ I have had a dig around, and it seems that debian sid should work, this is the link http://wm8650.net/index.php?newsid=444
[20:58] <darkfader> i think i ripped one of those out of a nas box, they had a "netbsd.bin" in their fw package
[20:58] <darkfader> but i never got up my spirit to hack at it
[21:02] <pinportal_> so I can install on WM8650 tablet?
[21:06] <k1l> pinportal_: no. no ubuntu
[21:16] <pinportal_> it is bad :(
