[09:10] <ra-fi> hi 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 emulator
[09:11] <LetoThe2nd> ra-fi: you want a terminal emulator on your dev host to connect over serial, or what isthe question exactly?
[09:12] <ra-fi> LetoThe2nd yes i need to connect my at91sam9x5 ek target on serial like ttyS0.
[09:13] <LetoThe2nd> ra-fi: putty, or screen for example.
[09:23] <hrw> picocom in any terminal?
[09:39] <ra-fi> LetoThe2nd 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...
[09:40] <LetoThe2nd> ra-fi: i have no clue what you are talking about, i cannot understand that.
[09:45] <ra-fi> LetoThe2nd 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,.
[09:46] <LetoThe2nd> ra-fi: sorry, but as this is #ubuntu-arm, i think what works on your buildroot rootfs or not is a bit offtopic.
[09:46] <LetoThe2nd> ra-fi: i thought you were talking about running a terminal emulator on your ubuntu development desktop.
[09:47] <LetoThe2nd> and ubuntu certainly does not run on the at91.
[09:47] <ra-fi> LetoThe2nd oh its ok thanks for your effort
[10:33]  * ogra_ wonders why anyone would run a terminal app *on* a board
[10:39] <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: because, probably
[10:39] <ogra_> ah, ineed, that clears it up
[10:39] <ogra_> +d
[14:03] <Snark> hi
[14:03] <Snark> I saw a samsung chromebook in a store
[14:04] <Snark> tried to find the little switch for the developer mode... and didn't find it
[14:04] <Snark> it was a XE303C12-A02FR
[14:04] <Snark> is it a developer-mode-less version!?
[14:08] <hrw> Snark: key combination enables devmode
[14:08] <hrw> Snark: very nice machine for arm development
[14:08] <hrw> Snark: you live in France?
[14:09] <Snark> yes
[14:09] <Snark> oh, for the arm chromebook, it has been virtualized!
[14:09] <hrw> Snark: does it has AZERTY keyboard?
[14:09] <Snark> I had read a page for the other chromebook
[14:09] <Snark> hrw: yes!
[14:10] <hrw> fu :D
[14:11] <hrw> Snark: 13.04 should work quite fine on it
[14:13] <Snark> I was thinking about crouton
[14:15] <hrw> feel free
[14:15] <hrw> I just prefer to use systems directly rather than chroots
[14:16] <Snark> I generally also do, but if I can get something usable more easily...
[14:17] <Snark> (I'm using git for most of my stuff, so it's easy to reinstall if I change my mind)
[14:18] <hrw> ;)
[14:18] <hrw> bbiab
[15:40] <hrw> guys: alsa-lib 1.0.27.1 contains UCM profiles from Ubuntu ;)
[15:50] <wookey> does anyone here know what automake for 'build this program for the BUILD arch' is?
[15:54] <hrw> wookey: BUILD_CC etc?
[15:56] <wookey> yes, but how does that go in an automake file that has "noinst_PROGRAMS = i386_gendis"?
[15:57] <hrw> I usually create a rule for such binaries
[15:57] <wookey> (i386_gendis gets run later to generate a header file)
[15:58] <wookey> OK, 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 guess
[16:10] <purezen> Hey 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] <purezen> Hope you guys could list me some..
[16:11] <hrw> purezen: you mean 'how can I help with ubuntu on chromebook'?
[16:11] <purezen> In fact, I am posting this from my Chromebook itself.. 13.04 XFCE..
[16:11] <purezen> hrw: I mean.. I would basically like to get involved in the same..
[16:12] <hrw> purezen: there are few things to do
[16:12] <purezen> Like getting Ubuntu to run on Chromebook.. i.e. polishing some existing processes..
[16:12] <purezen> hrw: Ok..
[16:12] <hrw> 1. write better installation howto then my blog posts ;D
[16:12] <purezen> hrw: Oh.. well..:-D
[16:13] <hrw> 2. add chromebook support to flash-kernel so kernel updates will be easier
[16:13] <purezen> hrw: Ok.. I would need some more info. on that..
[16:13] <hrw> 3. find out the reason and fix plytmouth issue
[16:14] <purezen> hrw: Well.. I will have to look into that..
[16:14] <hrw> 4. package 3.8/chromeos kernel
[16:15] <purezen> hrw: Ok..
[16:15] <hrw> I 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] <purezen> hrw: Ok..
[16:16] <purezen> hrw: And by 4 you mean.. package for the Ubuntu repos..?
[16:16] <hrw> we have 3.4/chromeos in repo so it is easier then it was
[16:16] <hrw> purezen: sure
[16:16] <wookey> purezen: and debian
[16:17] <purezen> hrw: Ok..
[16:17] <hrw> wookey: for Debian we can get 3.10-rc mainline with very partial support
[16:17] <hrw> wookey: so far I did not noticed change in kernel policy in Debian
[16:17] <purezen> wookey: Well..
[16:17] <wookey> yeah just trying to discourage packages that only go into ubuntu. Do whatever can be done upstream upstream
[16:18] <hrw> wookey: ucm profiles are on a way to debian - Jorgi packaged 1.0.27.1 which has them
[16:19] <purezen> One 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] <hrw> kernel signing tools are in Debian
[16:19] <hrw> what left in Ubuntu is kernel and x11 driver
[16:20] <purezen> Anything I can do to 'better' the graphics support for the same..?
[16:23] <purezen> So guys.. To begin with I would need headers to approach the given tasks..
[16:25] <purezen> Can you guys give me headers on approaching the 2nd task..?
[16:27] <wookey> check out flash-kernel sources and automate whatever manual runes are used now. (I don't know runes for that)
[16:27] <wookey> it has a sensble structure these days, so shouldn't be too hard
[16:30]  * hrw out
[16:35] <purezen> wookey: Thanks.. shall have a look at it..
[16:35] <purezen> Also, hope you can tell how do I keep in touch with the developments regarding the same..?
[16:39] <wookey> I don;t know where the chromebook people hang out. THis channel is quirte a good start
[16:40] <ogra_> for ubuntu stuff thats definitely true
[16:41] <purezen> wookey: Ok..
[16:41] <purezen> wookey: Also, am quite new to this stuff.. so I hope it did be sufficient to communicate here..
[16:43] <wookey> sure. you are doing fine so far. Ask if you don;t know how/where to find stuff
[16:48] <purezen> wookey: Ok.. Thanks..:-)
