| rigo | hi | 10:00 |
|---|---|---|
| rigo | i have a cubieboard1. i installed this: lubuntu-server-13.06-v1.01 which runs the 3.4.43+ kernel what has no apt-get installable headers. but i need a kernel with headers to install the liplinian driver package. | 10:00 |
| ogra_ | so ask the person that created your image | 10:01 |
| rigo | can i install kernel on it? how? | 10:01 |
| ogra_ | (this is not an ubuntu image, someone externally has built it ) | 10:01 |
| rigo | why on earth are there kernels without headers anyway? :D | 10:03 |
| ogra_ | there definitely are headers ... the person who created your kernel surely has them :) | 10:04 |
| ogra_ | (or had at least, when the kernel was built) | 10:04 |
| rigo | im just confused.. i downloaded loads of images for the cubieboard1 but all are running on this headerless kernel. (i mean it doesnt have like not apt-get installable which is for me linux noob the only way to get i guess) | 10:06 |
| ogra_ | well, there are no official images for the cubieboard from ubuntu ... and there is no kernel for it in the ubuntu archive | 10:10 |
| ogra_ | if some third person creates an image at home we cant help much, you need to find that person to give you the headers | 10:10 |
| ogra_ | or the kernel source ... | 10:10 |
| rigo | i will. and i will http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsXKAtpLm4I | 10:13 |

| awakecoding | Hi | 15:20 |
| awakecoding | I'd like to package my software for distribution on ubuntu for ARM | 15:21 |
| awakecoding | with ubuntu-based ARM thin clients in mind | 15:21 |
| awakecoding | which versions of ubuntu should I target, which variants of ARM should I build for? | 15:21 |
| awakecoding | and especially, which ARM systems are the most well supported by ubuntu. I'm looking for a system that would actually have proper GPU acceleration | 15:22 |
| hrw | awakecoding: target: trusty (as development) and saucy (as latest released) at least. may also consider precise (last lts) | 16:14 |
| hrw | and care about armhf | 16:14 |
| awakecoding | hrw: ok, thanks. are there qemu images available? what's the best way to cross-compile? | 16:15 |
| hrw | I do not track ubuntu development for quite long time | 16:15 |
| hrw | there are some armhf images but how to run them in qemu? provide own kernel probably | 16:15 |
| awakecoding | ok | 16:16 |
| awakecoding | is there a recommended platform for using ubuntu on ARM? | 16:17 |
| awakecoding | I was asking yesterday in #linaro and even today GPU acceleration is a huge issue on the vast majority of linux boards | 16:18 |
| awakecoding | no GPU acceleration == it's going to suck as a thin client | 16:18 |
| hrw | define GPU acceleration | 16:21 |
| hrw | 2D? 3D as OpenGL? 3D as OpenGLES? | 16:21 |
| awakecoding | hrw: mostly 2D, but 3D affects the general usage of the desktop, especially with unity | 16:25 |
| hrw | for unity I would go to local store and buy x86 hardware | 16:25 |
| hrw | but I am known as not a fan of unity | 16:25 |
| awakecoding | putting unity aside, let's say it's used with a more lightweight desktop, if the X11 environment is unaccelerated, it's still going to cause performance problems | 16:26 |
| awakecoding | take the utilite pro for instance, I've got one of those, it's pretty neat, but no GPU acceleration is a bummer: http://utilite-computer.com/web/utilite-models | 16:31 |
| awakecoding | if it had GPU acceleration I could make an amazing thin client out of it | 16:31 |
