| Nothing_Much | How come I can't upgrade my Ubuntu 13.10 kernel on Armhf? | 06:49 |
| Nothing_Much | Is there a problem with the dependencies for Armhf? | 06:52 |

| Nothing_Much | infinity: Upgrade the Linux kernel from 3.4 to 3.11 | 17:13 |
| infinity | Nothing_Much: On what device? Is this Ubuntu touch? | 17:17 |
| infinity | Nothing_Much: Touch uses Android kernels, and they lag behind upstream a lot. | 17:17 |
| Nothing_Much | Ubuntu desktop on an Odroid-XU | 17:17 |
| infinity | Nothing_Much: Oh, that's not a device supported by Ubuntu at all, so talk to the person you got the kernel from. :P | 17:17 |
| Nothing_Much | infinity: What do you mean? | 17:18 |
| Nothing_Much | Why can't I just upgrade my kernel from Synaptic? | 17:18 |
| infinity | Nothing_Much: I mean exactly what I said. The kernel on that device didn't come from Ubuntu. | 17:19 |
| infinity | ARM isn't like x86, different platforms need (sometimes wildly) different kernels. | 17:19 |
| infinity | We only support a small number of platforms. | 17:19 |
| Nothing_Much | Ah | 17:19 |
| infinity | Your device isn't one of them. So, wherever you got that kernel/image from, they're the people to talk to. | 17:19 |
| Nothing_Much | Well, would compiling my own Kernel be good enough? | 17:19 |
| infinity | Sure, if you compiled it from sources with support for your board. | 17:20 |
| infinity | I suspect it's not entirely supported upstream. | 17:20 |
| Nothing_Much | I'm not sure I understand, can I just copy the Linux kernel from github or.. wherever Linus holds the kernel and clone it and compile it? | 17:21 |
| highvoltage | Nothing_Much: I think that's the point infinity is making, you can't do that, since you'll need the patches from the manufacturer of your board | 17:22 |
| Nothing_Much | Ohh.. | 17:23 |
| Nothing_Much | Is it possible that Arm would become as easy as x86? | 17:23 |
| highvoltage | I think devicetree in the linux kernel is meant to make it somewhat easier, but it doesn't really stop manufacturers from doing weird or completely different things | 17:25 |
| infinity | ARMv7 is slowly getting better, but we'll never be able to support ALL boards from one kernel, mainly because once a board is done, no one cares anymore except hobbyists who buy it. | 17:27 |
| infinity | ARMv8 should be as easy as x86. At some point. | 17:27 |
| IamTrying | I have Beagle Board - which has a flash card, when i switch on. Does not show anything at all. How can i install Ubuntu 13.x on it please? | 22:10 |
