| sgo11 | hi, I haven't installed ubuntu arm yet. I would like to know what packages and which versions are supported by current ubuntu arm release. can anyone tell me where I can check? what is the repo url? thanks. | 13:59 |
|---|---|---|
| ogra_ | the same packages that are on x86 | 14:04 |
| ogra_ | the archive is at ports.ubuntu.com | 14:04 |
| sgo11 | ogra_, thanks. the latest arm release is 12.04. when you say the same packages to x86, do you mean the same packages(version) as 12.04 x86? or latest 13.10 x86? thanks. | 14:10 |
| ogra_ | the latest arm release is 13.10 | 14:10 |
| ogra_ | arm is built in parallel since 9.04, since then you have the identical package versions to x86 | 14:11 |
| sgo11 | ogra_, thanks. I come from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM. it shows 12.04 release. what is the official site for ubuntu arm? where to get 13.10? thanks a lot. | 14:12 |
| ogra_ | oh, dont trust the wiki ... it is always outdated :) | 14:12 |
| sgo11 | ogra_, thanks. but where to get the latest arm release? thanks. | 14:13 |
| ogra_ | there is no official site specific for arm anymore ... it is just another architecture | 14:13 |
| sgo11 | ogra_, ok. so how can I install 13.10 to my board? can you show me some guideline/tutorial? thanks. | 14:14 |
| ogra_ | which board is that ? | 14:14 |
| sgo11 | ogra_, cubieboard (cubieboard3 also named cubietruck) | 14:15 |
| ogra_ | installation images are very device specific since kernels and bootloaders vary massively on arm ... there are only images for a few devices/boards | 14:15 |
| ogra_ | ah, well, there is definitely no official cubieboard image, so google is your friend ... i'm sure there are some third party howtos to get ubuntu running on that device though | 14:15 |
| sgo11 | ogra_, yeah. I am a newbie to arm. I am very confused on how to install them. | 14:16 |
| sgo11 | ogra_, the official cubieboard team release ubuntu 12.04. I just want to get latest packages. maybe I should think switching to archlinux-arm even if I never use archlinux before. but archlinux-arm provides official release to cubieboard. | 14:17 |
| sgo11 | installation to arm world becomes very different. installation in archlinux becomes much easier than ubuntu. | 14:17 |
| ogra_ | just use theirt image then, you can always just upgrade to 13.10 | 14:17 |
| ogra_ | huh ? | 14:18 |
| ogra_ | i highly doubt that | 14:18 |
| ogra_ | if there is an existing ubuntu image, just install it ... most likely you just need to dump the image onto an sd card and are good to go | 14:18 |
| ogra_ | arch means you will have to know how to build your own stuff from scratch etc ... it will definitely be a lot harder than using a binary distro like ubuntu debian or fedora | 14:19 |
| sgo11 | ogra_, archlinux-arm provides a specific image to my cubieboard. that's why I thought that might be easier. haven't tried it yet. I can use "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" in ubuntu arm to upgrade to 13.10? thanks. | 14:19 |
| ogra_ | unless you are already good at linux in general and in arch specifically | 14:19 |
| ogra_ | sgo11, http://cubieboard.org/download/ | 14:20 |
| ogra_ | just grab the lubuntu image from there and be happy | 14:20 |
| ogra_ | (first hit on google btw) | 14:21 |
| sgo11 | ogra_, sorry about my bad memory. that is 12.10 instead of 12.04. but the team does not provide 13.10. how to uprgrade to 13.10 once I have 12.10? thanks. | 14:21 |
| ogra_ | sudo update-manager-core | 14:22 |
| ogra_ | that will upgrade you to the next ubuntu version | 14:22 |
| sgo11 | ogra_, cool. I will do that and stick with ubuntu. thanks a lot for your help. | 14:22 |
| ogra_ | err, sorry | 14:22 |
| ogra_ | update-manager-core is the package | 14:23 |
| ogra_ | it is sudo do-release-upgrade | 14:23 |
| sgo11 | ogra_, no problem. what is the command? if you can tell me, it will save my time to google. :) thanks. | 14:23 |
| ogra_ | sudo do-release-upgrade | 14:23 |
| sgo11 | ogra_, oh. it's always that command. never really use it in x86 world. I always did fresh install in x86. but arm is different. thanks a lot. | 14:24 |
| ogra_ | arm is the same :) | 14:24 |
| ogra_ | the only things that usually differ on arm are the bootloader and kernel which are board specific | 14:24 |
| sgo11 | ogra_, that's very cool. thank you very much! ^_^ | 14:24 |
| sgo11 | ogra_, since you are here, may I ask another question related to kernel rebuilding? can I use the same new way (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel) to compile the kernel in arm? "fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic" thanks. | 14:27 |
| ogra_ | only if your kernel source has a package dir (which it is unlikely to have) | 14:28 |
| ogra_ | the guys in #ubuntu-kernel might be able to give you more hints, but generally if you have a non official board you just build the kernel without packaging and maintain it separately | 14:29 |
| sgo11 | ogra_, i have a driver which requires rebuild the kernel to work. that's why I asked this question in advance. | 14:30 |
| ogra_ | well, best to ask in a cubieboard forum tzhen | 14:30 |
| sgo11 | ogra_, sure. I will do that. thank you very much. ^_^ | 14:31 |
