| rooted | hello , is there an ubuntu version for a raspberry pi ? | 12:56 |
|---|---|---|
| hrw | rooted: no | 12:56 |
| hrw | rooted: and will not be | 12:56 |
| hrw | r/pi has too old cpu | 12:57 |
| rooted | hrw , no version because an old cpu ? | 12:57 |
| hrw | yes | 12:57 |
| rooted | i think there will be new version of raspberry pi , called compute moudule | 12:58 |
| rooted | so , some arm version can install same packages as the normal ubuntu ? | 12:58 |
| ogra_ | we'll see once that thing is available :) | 12:59 |
| ogra_ | if you want something Pi like that runs ubuntu, get a beaglebone | 12:59 |
| hrw | rooted: that module is same crap as r/pi | 12:59 |
| rooted | orga_ ive got one actually and a really love it. | 13:00 |
| ogra_ | or wait for the new Pi and hope someone does the necessary porting | 13:00 |
| rooted | and now am going for cubieboard | 13:00 |
| ogra_ | hrw, i think there is a v7 Pi planned ... | 13:00 |
| * ogra_ read about that somewhere | 13:00 | |
| hrw | ogra_: let it rest in pieces | 13:00 |
| ogra_ | Pi-eces | 13:01 |
| ogra_ | :) | 13:01 |
| rooted | lool | 13:01 |
| hrw | ;D | 13:01 |
| hrw | ok, enough of r/pi talk | 13:01 |
| hrw | my weekly limit will end too soon | 13:01 |
| ogra_ | dev-boards are not really the super hot focus in ubuntu anyway anymore ... | 13:01 |
| rooted | so raspberry pi , is a crap because it has an old cpu ? i love that you can find every thing for it , such as camera , speaker's , sensors | 13:02 |
| ogra_ | its either server/arm64 or phones (with an android container to use the binary blobs) | 13:02 |
| lool | rooted: the new module is the same hardware as the current rpi | 13:03 |
| rooted | well , i loved the ubuntu edge idea, but its a shame the campaign stoped. | 13:03 |
| lool | rooted: just different form factor | 13:03 |
| lool | rooted: there wont be an ARMv7 rpi for 6months+ at least | 13:03 |
| rooted | hmmm | 13:03 |
| ogra_ | well, wait another year and the phones will have the specs the edge was aiming for | 13:03 |
| lool | rooted: I recommend beaglebone black as an alternative, but it might be hard to get in certain locations | 13:03 |
| rooted | i know , it was sad that the campaign stopped , any chance to restart it again ? | 13:04 |
| rooted | lool ive got one , the rev b and C | 13:04 |
| rooted | C is on the way actually | 13:04 |
| hrw | ogra_: so far only ram and storage size is lacking in market phones | 13:04 |
| lool | rooted: it's technically superior to rpi and can run Ubuntu (but is more expensive) | 13:05 |
| rooted | lool yeah, $10 extra | 13:05 |
| hrw | beaglebone black is 45$ iirc | 13:05 |
| lool | sadly BBB is still hard to get in France | 13:05 |
| ogra_ | hrw, right, and there are already phones with 3G RAM and 64G disk ... so we're getting close | 13:05 |
| hrw | rooted: what for you use r/pi? | 13:05 |
| rooted | lool , subscribe to notification service at adafruit. | 13:05 |
| hrw | if video decoding then consider cubietrack | 13:05 |
| hrw | if playing with signals then beaglebone | 13:06 |
| rooted | hrw , am working on an educational project, later to be for a comercial usage , for an OCR system | 13:06 |
| hrw | rooted: so camera and some storage + cpu speed? | 13:07 |
| hrw | rooted: cubietrack + usb camera + sata hdd. dualcore cpu onboard | 13:07 |
| * rooted got angry when he started knowing about ubuntu edge campaign and realized its stopped | 13:07 | |
| rooted | hrw exactly | 13:07 |
| ogra_ | hrw, the RPi is the MSOffice of today :) too many people have it so you dont get around it in some sapces ... i.e. educational fiddling | 13:08 |
| rooted | hrw , yeah just knew about cubieboard , i was thinking to make a customized case for such idea , with paper dispenser | 13:08 |
| hrw | ogra_: good thing is that I can ignore r/pi related talks as I do not have to worry about <armv8 now | 13:08 |
| ogra_ | rooted, and electrically driven toilet paper roll ? | 13:09 |
| rooted | orga_ maybe :p | 13:09 |
| lool | rooted: I avoided ordering from the US so far, but maybe I need to revisit this | 13:09 |
| rooted | lool , well the best thing was the notification service. | 13:09 |
| ndec | hi ogra_ , i came across this old IRC log http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/11/08/%23ubuntu-arm.txt. do you remember the issues you had with using -S with fastboot flash? | 15:27 |
| ogra_ | corrupt partitions after tranfer | 15:27 |
| ogra_ | *trans | 15:27 |
| ndec | hmm.. | 15:28 |
| ndec | so you aren't using it, right? | 15:28 |
| ndec | even 2 years later? | 15:28 |
| ogra_ | we dont use much of fastboot at all anymore | 15:28 |
| ndec | do you remember if it was on some h/w, or possibly any h/w? | 15:29 |
| ogra_ | only for the initial bringup to flash kernel and boot partitions ... | 15:29 |
| ogra_ | err | 15:29 |
| ogra_ | boot and recovery, sorry | 15:29 |
| ogra_ | the rest is ubuntu in ubuntu touch | 15:29 |
| ogra_ | (upgrades run from recovery, not using fastboot at all) | 15:29 |
| ndec | the initial bring up is what then? | 15:30 |
| Tassadar | nexus 7 (grouper) had this problem, I don't remember anybody really trying it out on anything else | 15:31 |
| ogra_ | ndec, running ubuntu-device-flash to get the initial install going ... that tool boots into bootloader, flashes boot and recovery, then reboots into recovery and runs the rest of the install from there | 15:31 |
| ndec | ok. | 15:32 |
| ogra_ | but neither boot not recovery need to be sparse | 15:32 |
| ndec | yep. | 15:32 |
| ogra_ | so we dont need -S | 15:32 |
