[11:51] <zzarr> hello!
[11:53] <zzarr> is it possible to use chromebook/freon drivers the same way as android in ubuntu?
[12:07] <ogra_> zzarr, no need to, the binaries in chromeOS use glibc, you should be able to use them directly
[12:19] <zzarr> ogra_, so it's just user-land drivers required?
[12:19] <zzarr> I have a arm based chromebook
[12:20] <ogra_> well, probably kernel too, but neither of them would need a container like the android drivers on the phone do
[12:20] <zzarr> okey
[12:21] <ogra_> i have the first samsung arm crhomebook ... havent used it in gaes, but i was able to use the chromeOS hangouts and flash plugins from it under ubuntu .... so drivers should work the same
[12:21] <ogra_> s/gaes/ages/
[12:21] <ogra_> *me glares at his fingers
[12:22] <zzarr> okey, I have a rk3288 based asus chromebook flip
[12:22] <anpok_> ogra_: so they are somewhat drm/kms-like?
[12:22] <zzarr> anpok_, I have read that they are
[12:22] <ogra_> anpok_, no clue .... but they will surely run if you have the right kernel
[12:23] <ogra_> and provide GLES if you have the necessary libs installed
[12:23] <zzarr> ogra_, how did you install ubuntu on your arm chromebook?
[12:23] <ogra_> does libhybris emulate/provide a kms like layer ?
[12:25] <anpok_> ogra_: no, but there is hybris egl that offers the right entry points
[12:25] <ogra_> zzarr, that was years ago ... someone provided some howto that i followed, back then you could switch the bootloader to developer mode and freely pick between a parallel installed ubuntu or  chromeos then
[12:25] <ogra_> and the native ones would differ ?
[12:26] <zzarr> ogra_, I have my chromebook in developer mode and I can boot from a sd card
[12:26] <ogra_> right, i think thats what i did
[12:27] <ogra_> then copy over the right libs and run ldconfig to have the linker find them ...
[12:27] <zzarr> so, what kernel should I use in order for ubuntu to work?
[12:28] <ogra_> the chromebook source ... and then a config merged from a default ubuntu one and the hardware specific options from the native chromebook config
[12:30] <zzarr> ogra_, it sounds easy, but should I get the ubuntu touch tar ball or ubuntu-core?
[12:31] <zzarr> ogra_, what I really want is to use mir/unity8 on my book
[12:31] <ogra_> does that matter as long as apt works ? :)
[12:32] <zzarr> ogra_, you're right
[12:32] <ogra_> note that getting this merged kernel config right can be very time consuming
[12:33] <ogra_> (takes a lot of trial and error and rebuilds)
[12:33] <zzarr> ogra_, is there a guide?
[12:34] <ogra_> not really, no
[12:34] <ogra_> there are some scripts in the normal ubuntu kernel packages that do config checks for essential options an ubuntu kernel should have
[12:34] <ogra_> i'd start from there
[12:35] <zzarr> okey, thanks
[12:39] <zzarr> ogra_, will I be able to run mir? (if I'm successful?)
[12:40] <ogra_> zzarr, thats beyond my knowledge level ... the drivers should surely be capable to, but you might need kms support as anpok_ mentioned above .... and i'm not sure if they provide that or not (though chromeos might)
[12:41] <ogra_> *might use it
[12:42] <zzarr> so in other words if I get kms support I will be able too, other whys not
[12:52] <anpok_> zzarr: we use kms to setup the outputs ... dmabuf fds to transport buffers between client and server.. if you use the mesa platform. So you need support for those specific parts..
[12:53] <ogra_> i'd guess chromeOS uses that too though
[12:53] <ogra_> (but just guessing here)
[12:54] <zzarr> anpok_, I say okey, but it's a bit outside my knowledge
[12:55] <zzarr> there is a arch linux version for my chromebook, could I use the kernel they provide?
[13:03] <alan_g> zzarr: if you're not using the mesa from the ubuntu archive you'll also need to pick up some patches for Mir support. (I don't know the details.)
[13:05] <zzarr> okey alan_g|lunch I'll try with the ubuntu one first
[13:29] <alf> Saviq: bregma: https://code.launchpad.net/~afrantzis/jenkins-launchpad-plugin/triggered-builds/+merge/284117
[13:31] <bregma> alf, nice, dunno if I'll get a chance to test it though...
[13:34] <alf> bregma: np, I added a script in the description to run locally (if you have jenkins-launcphad-plugin config files set up)
[13:34] <alf> bregma: actually, just give me a build url for libertine and I will paste the output and you can tell me if it is sane
[13:39] <bregma> alf, you could try https://jenkins.canonical.com/libertine/view/Libertine%20CI/job/libertine-ci-update-mp/lastBuild/ --  that's the job that updates the MP for CI
[14:20] <zzarr> ogra_, I have obtained the kernel configs from my chromebook, what command do I use in order to make the kernel ubuntu-ish
[14:21] <zzarr> ?
[14:22] <zzarr> I have also (git) cloned the chromebook kernel
[17:12] <Saviq> hey folks, can you please comment on bug #1538659, i.e. what's the applicable dependency chain in this case?
