[10:37] <IztokJeras> hi I would like to install the latest Ubuntu on a Zynq board (armhf v7 CPU), and I have trouble finding an appropriate tarball
[10:39] <IztokJeras> for the 14.04 LTS I used http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/releases/14.04/release/ubuntu-core-14.04.4-core-armhf.tar.gz
[10:39] <ogra_> grab one from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-base/releases/
[10:39] <IztokJeras> but I have trouble finding something similar for 16.04
[10:39] <ogra_> (ubuntu-core got renamed to ubuntu-base)
[10:42] <IztokJeras> OK, I will try it, since I had trouble finding this one I tried snappy a bit, for amd64 in kvm, and ARM emulated in QEMU, I currently do not see an advantage using snappy, what would you recommend?
[11:06] <IztokJeras> thanks ogra_ the tarball is what I was looking for
[11:07] <ogra_> wrt snappy, it really dependfs what you plan to do with the board ... if it is a stabndalone headless thing like a NAS ro router, snappy is surely something to try ... if you go after plain server or desktop stuff it is likely not there yet
[11:08] <ogra_> s/ro/or/

[11:17] <IztokJeras> not used to IRC clients
[11:20] <IztokJeras> our board is a custom server, with development capabilities (compiler), I saw very few packages offered as snaps and I do not know how to get libraries, for snappy they are part of the snap as I understand
[11:21] <IztokJeras> for now we will continue with apt/dpkg
[21:02] <ogre123> I have a few different arm devices (pi3, cubox, hummingboard, wandboard) that i think can all run armhf ubuntu.  I want to install the most similar OS I can on all of them (I'm thinking 14.04 LTS).  I was thinking the easiest route would be to get latest and greatest offical release for each board, keep the bootloader, kernel, and modules, and just overwrite the rest of the rootfs with a 14.04 rootfs from armhf.org.  Is that sane?
