[01:55] <Arbition> Hi. I've got a beaglebone black (Cortex-A8) and I'm looking to install networkmanager, but libxml2 doesn't seem to be in the repositories, even though the file is in the indicies.
[01:56] <Arbition> using 13.04
[02:04] <infinity> Arbition: It sure is...
[02:04] <Arbition> hm
[02:05] <Arbition> Well I'm getting a 404 from apt
[02:05] <infinity> With which mirror?
[02:05] <infinity> And which path?
[02:05] <Arbition> main
[02:05] <infinity> "main" isn't a mirror.
[02:05] <infinity> Paste the actual error message?
[02:05] <Arbition> ports.ubuntu.com
[02:06] <infinity> Odd are, though, that you just have stale indices, and an 'apt-get update' will get you downloading a newer version.
[02:07] <Arbition> ah ok I'll try that
[02:08] <Arbition> yeah that did it
[02:08] <Arbition> Sorry, I thought it might be arm specific
[02:08] <Arbition> as you may have guessed I am not a regular ubuntu user
[02:09] <Arbition> I prefer Fedora, but because the BeagleBone Black is a bit niche, I have to go with whats popular, and the Angstrom distro they release is pretty terrible
[02:09] <infinity> Angstrom is pretty awful, yeah.
[02:10] <infinity> I'd give opinions about Fedora, but that may appear to have professional bias. :P
[02:11] <infinity> Really, though, mapping one's brain from RH/FC to Debian/Ubuntu (and vice versa) really just comes down to mapping a few yum/apt commands internally, and sorting out annoying things like how we name library and dev packages differently.
[02:12] <infinity> (That is, Debian and Ubuntu name them sanely and consistently... Not that I have a bias... *cough*)
[02:13] <Arbition> I'm guessing there is also the difference with systemd and upstard, as well as firewalld which is still fairly new. Both are pretty important in this application, as I am making a soft router out of the BBB
[02:13] <infinity> Ahh, yeah.  Well, depends on which Fedora or RHEL you're running, some used upstart. ;)
[02:14] <infinity> But the newest FC is systemd, yes.  Not that that makes a difference to the average user.  Most people don't really (or shouldn't) care about their init system.
[02:14] <infinity> For a firewall, that may not be true, I suppose.
[02:15] <infinity> Though most people doing anything more clever than poking a few holes open in a cute user-friendly firewall helper tend to just write their own iptables rules in shell scripts of doom and execute them.
[02:15] <infinity> Maybe because we were all infected by IOS back in the day.
[02:15] <Arbition> IOS as in Cisco I take it?
[02:15] <infinity> Yeah, the real IOS.
[02:15] <Arbition> I can think of two others
[02:16] <infinity> Well, one of them has a small 'i'.
[02:16] <infinity> And I'm not aware of the third. ;)
[02:16] <Arbition> yes, I guess it does
[02:16] <Arbition> I think the Wii uses that as a naming convention of at least something
[02:17] <infinity> Anyhow, Apple paid Cisco good money to abuse both "IOS" and "iPhone", but I stubbornly refuse to admit they did so.
[02:17] <infinity> Because ignorance is bliss.
[02:26]  * keebler still has nightmares of working for a Broadband Provisioning company (Reallinx), configuring hundreds of Cisco 1721s.
[02:27] <keebler> Well, maybe not 100's, more like 100ish... Only worked there for 8 months.
[02:27] <keebler> It did inspire me to make a Cisco to iPad Cross-over cable in 2010.
[02:28] <keebler> Back when you had to jailbreak it.
[05:57] <kulve> has anybody by any chance worked with Ouya?
[06:03] <Arbition> Does anyone know Robert C Nelson? Or by any chance, be him? he has http://rcn-ee.net
[06:06] <Arbition> I'm trying to determine whether his beaglebone flasher is compiled from a standard image
[06:06] <Arbition> in which case, he is not the person to ask
[22:59] <Omar_> Hi, I was given the task to install an rdp client in a cubox hardware, which i see has arm(ARMv7 processor) , it has ubuntu 13.04, but can't find a rdp client package, any idea about how to fix it?
[23:46] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[23:47] <ShapeShifter499> I have a nook hd tablet that as far as I know is OMAP4. Do I have to do any edits to ubuntu arm to get it to boot and run off my system
[23:47] <ShapeShifter499> ?
