[04:56] <mstinson> Greetings. Stopping by before bed. Has anyone heard if Ubuntu ARM will be coming to the Nexus 10? The Nexus 7 appears to have closed nVidia blobs while the N10 uses a Mali GPU which has BSD licensed kernel drivers.
[04:58] <mstinson> I'm holding out for Nexus 10. It would be sweet if I could kick Android and use it as my second machine/screen.

[08:37] <mjrosenb> I recently apt-get installed a 3.4 kernel on my pandaboard, and since then, it has been locking up a few minutes after booting
[08:38] <mjrosenb> apt-get remove NEWEST_KERNEL_VERSION should just kick me back to a 3.2 kernel, right?
[08:56] <discopig> mjrosenb, assuming you didn't apt-get remove the old one, yes
[08:56] <discopig> should default to the one left ther
[08:56] <discopig> e
[08:59] <mjrosenb> yeah, removing old kernels is usually a bad idea

[14:48] <VarmVaffel> I got a custom board running plain linux, and whenever I try to connect a Huawei USB-modem it instantaniously reboots
[14:48] <VarmVaffel> no error message, just a reboot
[14:48] <VarmVaffel> if I keep the USB modem in at startup, it reboots immediately when it initializes the USB system
[14:49] <VarmVaffel> anyone have any experiences with this kind of happenings?
[14:50] <VarmVaffel> my kernel is 2.6.35.3
[15:56] <ben1066> VarmVaffel: do I know you from somewherE
[15:57] <VarmVaffel> oh hey ben1066 :P
[15:57] <VarmVaffel> hlcoders amirite?
[15:57] <ben1066> ##electronics ... and hlcoders
[15:57] <VarmVaffel> oh electronics as well
[15:57] <VarmVaffel> I'm not very active there...
[15:57] <ben1066> Neither am I, I just did a whois though :P
[15:57] <VarmVaffel> ah :P
[15:57] <ben1066> Isn't that more of a #linux question?
[15:58] <VarmVaffel> yeah I asked there as well
[15:58] <VarmVaffel> but they didn't answer
[15:58] <VarmVaffel> :(
[15:58] <ben1066> Ah :(
[16:15] <ben1066> The internet is apparently huge...I don't believe it
[16:15] <VarmVaffel> O_o

[19:32] <ieatlint> anyone know if the nvidia tegra3/cardhu openmax lib (libnvomx.so) can be obtained with its symbols intact? (not stripped)
[19:36] <FrankWMiller> greetings
[19:36] <FrankWMiller> anyone here?
[19:50] <SailorMoon> you guys exist!
[19:50] <SailorMoon> Nexus 7? Rom file?
[19:50] <SailorMoon> Why you no exist?
[19:50] <FrankWMiller> there hasnt been much activity in the last 10 minutes or so
[19:52] <SailorMoon> i want this Q~Q
[19:52] <SailorMoon> Perhaps its because androids rom installer is used to 100 to 200MB rom files, not 700 lol
[19:52] <SailorMoon> or perhaps its because the internal memory gets formated
[19:53] <SailorMoon> or perhaps they just dunno how to make a rom
[19:57] <k1l_> SailorMoon: just boot a live-usb ubuntu and install it. if you dont want to use ubuntu on a pc o_O
[19:59] <SailorMoon> ubuntu doesnt work with my wireless
[19:59] <SailorMoon> or i would have by now lols
[19:59] <SailorMoon> id also like more detail on if this does anything to the recovery partition of the tablet
[19:59] <SailorMoon> i assume it does, wich is why it says a full recovery is needed
[20:00] <SailorMoon> so nvm that last question
[20:01] <SailorMoon> i dunno how much you know about this installation process, k1l_, but would virtualbox's usb host mode thingy suffice?
[20:04] <k1l_> SailorMoon: i would go with a live-usb. i can not imagine of a wirelesscard not working under ubuntu. or you could stick a cable in it for the 5mins. but the virtualbox way should work, too
[20:08] <SailorMoon> i know it doesnt work, it hasnt worked since ubuntu 6 or something, i try every ubuntu version when they come out. i have to install a special broadcom package and then it stops working when i run apt-get update or whatever
[20:08] <SailorMoon> anyways, gotta go. Thanks for the chat :3 bye
[20:25] <FrankWMiller> anyone still here?
[20:26] <FrankWMiller> i'm interested in advice on porting ubuntu server to a new arm board we are designing
[20:26] <FrankWMiller> freescale i.mx6d
[20:26] <FrankWMiller> which is cortex a8
[20:26] <FrankWMiller> sata disk
=== morphis is now known as morphis|away
[20:26] <FrankWMiller> gb eth 4 G ram
[20:27] <FrankWMiller> i'll be able to build a kernel using a freescale provided bsp
[20:27] <FrankWMiller> er a9
[20:27] <FrankWMiller> sorry
[20:28] <FrankWMiller> do i just build a rootfs as mentioned in the arm section?
[20:28] <FrankWMiller> i'm thinking that uboot would go in flash
[20:28] <FrankWMiller> then i'd like to boot from the sata disk

[22:21] <KenBW2> not sure if this belongs in #ubuntu-arm. I'm trying to get gnome-shell running on my Nexus 7, is this possible?
[22:26] <GrueMaster> possibly.
