ra-fihi i have used at91sam9x5 ek board and i have used buildroot toolchain i would like to use qt based terminal emulator can you please suggest me any terminla emulator09:10
LetoThe2ndra-fi: you want a terminal emulator on your dev host to connect over serial, or what isthe question exactly?09:11
ra-fiLetoThe2nd yes i need to connect my at91sam9x5 ek target on serial like ttyS0.09:12
LetoThe2ndra-fi: putty, or screen for example.09:13
hrwpicocom in any terminal?09:23
ra-fiLetoThe2nd even before i have been trying many qt based terminal application but those all are not suited for my needs and i have not used Xorg supports in my target,and now i have tried qtterm serial emulator from qt it compiled successfully and  when i try to select /dev/ttyS0 it also selects but it does not perform any action when i give the commands like pwd,ls,ps...09:39
LetoThe2ndra-fi: i have no clue what you are talking about, i cannot understand that.09:40
ra-fiLetoThe2nd sorry i am fresher for linux, ok, i have downloaded a qt based terminal emulator source from web which is 3BpiQtTerm01.tar.gz,and i cross compiled for at91sam9x5 board using buildroot toolchain and run the application it works but when i try to execute commands it does not work,.09:45
LetoThe2ndra-fi: sorry, but as this is #ubuntu-arm, i think what works on your buildroot rootfs or not is a bit offtopic.09:46
LetoThe2ndra-fi: i thought you were talking about running a terminal emulator on your ubuntu development desktop.09:46
LetoThe2ndand ubuntu certainly does not run on the at91.09:47
ra-fiLetoThe2nd oh its ok thanks for your effort09:47

Snarkhi14:03
SnarkI saw a samsung chromebook in a store14:03
Snarktried to find the little switch for the developer mode... and didn't find it14:04
Snarkit was a XE303C12-A02FR14:04
Snarkis it a developer-mode-less version!?14:04
hrwSnark: key combination enables devmode14:08
hrwSnark: very nice machine for arm development14:08
hrwSnark: you live in France?14:08
Snarkyes14:09
Snarkoh, for the arm chromebook, it has been virtualized!14:09
hrwSnark: does it has AZERTY keyboard?14:09
SnarkI had read a page for the other chromebook14:09
Snarkhrw: yes!14:09
hrwfu :D14:10
hrwSnark: 13.04 should work quite fine on it14:11
SnarkI was thinking about crouton14:13
hrwfeel free14:15
hrwI just prefer to use systems directly rather than chroots14:15
SnarkI generally also do, but if I can get something usable more easily...14:16
Snark(I'm using git for most of my stuff, so it's easy to reinstall if I change my mind)14:17

hrwguys: alsa-lib 1.0.27.1 contains UCM profiles from Ubuntu ;)15:40
wookeydoes anyone here know what automake for 'build this program for the BUILD arch' is?15:50
hrwwookey: BUILD_CC etc?15:54
wookeyyes, but how does that go in an automake file that has "noinst_PROGRAMS = i386_gendis"?15:56
hrwI usually create a rule for such binaries15:57
wookey(i386_gendis gets run later to generate a header file)15:57
wookeyOK, so if I add a specific rule for creating that binary that'll overwrite the default rulkes, and let me use $BUILD_CC. Something like that I guess15:58
purezenHey guys..! I have lately been running Ubuntu of my ARM chromebook.. And was hoping to find opportunities to get involved in the same..16:10
purezenHope you guys could list me some..16:10
hrwpurezen: you mean 'how can I help with ubuntu on chromebook'?16:11
purezenIn fact, I am posting this from my Chromebook itself.. 13.04 XFCE..16:11
purezenhrw: I mean.. I would basically like to get involved in the same..16:11
hrwpurezen: there are few things to do16:12
purezenLike getting Ubuntu to run on Chromebook.. i.e. polishing some existing processes..16:12
purezenhrw: Ok..16:12
hrw1. write better installation howto then my blog posts ;D16:12
purezenhrw: Oh.. well..:-D16:12
hrw2. add chromebook support to flash-kernel so kernel updates will be easier16:13
purezenhrw: Ok.. I would need some more info. on that..16:13
hrw3. find out the reason and fix plytmouth issue16:13
purezenhrw: Well.. I will have to look into that..16:14
hrw4. package 3.8/chromeos kernel16:14
purezenhrw: Ok..16:15
hrwI have 4th partially done but my chromebook is restored to chromeos and waits for samsung to get it repaired (I want speakers back)16:15
purezenhrw: Ok..16:15
purezenhrw: And by 4 you mean.. package for the Ubuntu repos..?16:16
hrwwe have 3.4/chromeos in repo so it is easier then it was16:16
hrwpurezen: sure16:16
wookeypurezen: and debian16:16
purezenhrw: Ok..16:17
hrwwookey: for Debian we can get 3.10-rc mainline with very partial support16:17
hrwwookey: so far I did not noticed change in kernel policy in Debian16:17
purezenwookey: Well..16:17
wookeyyeah just trying to discourage packages that only go into ubuntu. Do whatever can be done upstream upstream16:17
hrwwookey: ucm profiles are on a way to debian - Jorgi packaged 1.0.27.1 which has them16:18
purezenOne thing though.. Basically guys.. am an engineering undergrad.. and a FOSS enthusiast.. So I was basically looking for opportunities to get involved in the summer..16:19
hrwkernel signing tools are in Debian16:19
hrwwhat left in Ubuntu is kernel and x11 driver16:19
=== chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk
purezenAnything I can do to 'better' the graphics support for the same..?16:20
purezenSo guys.. To begin with I would need headers to approach the given tasks..16:23
purezenCan you guys give me headers on approaching the 2nd task..?16:25
wookeycheck out flash-kernel sources and automate whatever manual runes are used now. (I don't know runes for that)16:27
wookeyit has a sensble structure these days, so shouldn't be too hard16:27
* hrw out16:30
purezenwookey: Thanks.. shall have a look at it..16:35
purezenAlso, hope you can tell how do I keep in touch with the developments regarding the same..?16:35
wookeyI don;t know where the chromebook people hang out. THis channel is quirte a good start16:39
ogra_for ubuntu stuff thats definitely true16:40
purezenwookey: Ok..16:41
purezenwookey: Also, am quite new to this stuff.. so I hope it did be sufficient to communicate here..16:41
wookeysure. you are doing fine so far. Ask if you don;t know how/where to find stuff16:43
purezenwookey: Ok.. Thanks..:-)16:48
