<buZz> i got one of those Samsung Chromebook 2's with a 8core exynos 5 and 4gb ram

2020-01-12

<oh2ftg> Maybe the chromebooks, but those are more about optimizing batterylife and they likely throttle on sustained loads due to thermal design.

2018-09-24

<AuroraAvenue> Question - What distro should I use for an arm-based C201p chromebook other than the default one?

2018-04-08

<buZz> chromebook

2016-11-16

<yang> Is this channel ok to ask questions about Chromebooks, or should I head into another channel ? I am having difficulties booting the USB stick on a c201, should be done with CTRL+U but it only takes me into the normal login ChromeOS window

2016-11-12

<lkcl> and i'm currently doing an RK3288 board. the RK3288 it turns out can do up to 4GB of RAM as it's designed for ChromeBooks

2016-02-10

<lkcl_> GNUtoo-irssi: regarding the EC, yes i saw that project with the chromebook EC, yes they do keyboard-scanning as well. although it was useful to see i couldn't really make much sense of the organisation of the source code.
<GNUtoo-irssi> As for the ec, the chromebooks also use another free software project

<keebler> I like my Thinkpad a lot, but I kinda wish I had a chromebook.

2013-10-30

* hramrach typing on a chromebook

2013-07-09

<traeak1> ie: compared to buying an acer chromebook with celery and loading linux on it
<traeak1> hmm 170 for samsung exynos refurb chromebook

2013-06-29

<ssvb> I would also add an a15 version, but don't want to dismantle my chromebook just to connect the multimeter for the measurements

2013-05-15

<ssvb> zumbi: any computer running linux system and having a reasonable amount of RAM can do this, arm chromebook is not an exception
<Guest22510> samsung arm chromebook
<ssvb> IMHO samsung arm chromebook is not a very good choice when trying to re-purpose it as a netbook/laptop
<RaYmAn> yeah - I think the biggest annoyance with samsung arm chromebook is really the screen
<mnemoc> there should be a new android nexus device, but also a new chromebook
* mnemoc sad to not see chromeOS talks in google io this year... that means I can forget about the dreamed chromebook pixel with exynos5 octa :(

2013-05-10

* mnemoc wants a "chromebook pixel" but with exynos5 octa :'(

2013-04-04

<uberushaximus> has anyone done any work on an open PBL/BL1 for the chromebook?

2013-02-21

2013-02-20

<zzshllehs> you're talking about samsung chromebook?

2013-02-19

<libv> Turl: i will order myself a chromebook in a few weeks
<mnemoc> like the chromebook, but with better display :|
<libv> i think that they might be running the chromebook exynos5 gles drivers

2013-02-16

<mnemoc> theborger: but there is new chromebook coming, called pixel, you might want to wait and see if it's cortex-a15 aswell
<mnemoc> theborger: imho the exynos5 chromebook is (still) unbeatable
<theborger> so what is one of the better netbooks to buy? is the samsung chromebook good? or is there one cheaper/better?
<theborger> so what is one of the better netbooks to buy? is the samsung chromebook good? or is there one cheaper?

2013-02-09

<ssvb> techn_: unfortunately it's a bit of a mess, with one git repository hosted by linaro people, another one hosted by chromium people (the linaro variant oopses the kernel on chromebook)
<ssvb> techn_: yes, I have seen that. Actually it is the driver for Mali-T604 from ARM Chromebook

2013-01-30

<Jef91> Anyone know if any stuff has been done towards getting hardware video decoding working on the samsung chromebook chip?

2013-01-26

<cobalt60-ac100> I think that ChromeBook is ugly as $%^ but I can paint/skin it
<mnemoc> the exynos 5 chromebook

2013-01-25

<mnemoc> the exynos chromebook shows the oposite
<slapin> chromebook is n/a here
<Turl> there's a chromebook with exynos

2013-01-24

<traeak> so the chromebook has an mini sata type connector?
<Jef91> OpenGL is the last thing I'm missing on my chromebook

2013-01-19

<fragmint> chromebooks?

2013-01-16

<ZaEarl> chromebook seems like a pretty good deal

2013-01-12

<jinzo> yeah the new chromebook is nice - my friend got one and I could play with it a bit
<rm> if you live in a country where the Samsung Chromebook is available, get that

<ganbold__> chromebooks
<ganbold__> samsung chromebook is hot sale on amazon

2012-12-26

<Turl> mnemoc: you make me want a chromebook :<
<mnemoc> my daughter loves her exynos5 chromebook :)

<steev_> L84Supper: no, i use my 3G chromebook as stock
<steev_> so i was like... i wonder if this will apply to chromebook purchase
* xenoxaos wants a second chromebook
<steev_> mnemoc: you can get the chromebook!
<mnemoc> fortunatelly there is a chromebook
<traeak> sounds liek samsung chromebook might easily beat out an e450 or whatever
<L84Supper> max77686 is also used in the chromebook for battery charging, so you could swap in a higher capacity battery
<L84Supper> anyone hacked the Google A15 Chromebook for a larger internal HD? http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/10/google-wants-new-249-arm-based-chromebook-to-be-your-second-computer/

2012-12-19

<ssvb> I have a cortex-a15 based chromebook sharing nfs root with my mele

2012-12-16

<ssvb> Jef91|Building: just the chromebook keyboard sucks because of some missing keys, it was clearly designed as a "gadget" instead of real "computer"
<Jef91|Building> anyone around played with the newest samsung chromebook?

2012-12-15

<L84Supper> might be easier to just mod the chromebooks

2012-12-10

<RaYmAn> chromebook is fully open :/
<traeak> samsung chromebook looks appealing

2012-12-09

<Jef91> Debian on the Chromebook

2012-12-07

<slapin> is there somewhare I can order chromebook? looks tasty...
<RaYmAn> ARM Chromebook? xe303<something> is the modle nr
<Jef91> What is the latest samsung chromebook called RaYmAn?
<antonl> So, have samsung released the kernel sources that were used to build the chromebook kernel?
<RaYmAn> there is uhm, a project where you download & run a script and it prepares the chromebook and installs linux
<Jef91> hey RaYmAn do you know if there are any pre-built images for the chromebook yet?
<antonl> Hi guys. About exynos-based chromebook: what works in linux installed that way and what doesn't? 3d, sound?

2012-12-05

<xenoxaos> i got my chromebook ~1-2 weeks after it came out...

2012-12-02

<steev> Mehhh: so get a chromebook?
<Mehhh> Lame, really want the exynos 5 series from the chromebook

2012-11-30

<mnemoc> RaYmAn: my chromebook was totally ignored by the customs :p took a bit longer but ended up getting it for 220E :)

2012-11-29

<zoobab> got my arm chromebook

2012-11-27

<atari2600a> (& remergance of the concept through the chromebook)
<xenoxaos> which chromebook
<atari2600a> I've heard the new chromebook has a DIMM slot on it but I'm also hearing the memory's onboard

2012-11-26

<RaYmAn> mnemoc: mm, I don't consider the chromebook a laptop at all at 11.6
<specing> maybe if the chromebook were $150 I'd buy it
<RaYmAn> the chromebook has one of these: http://www.st.com/internet/mcu/product/216844.jsp
<RaYmAn> on chromebook
<Turl> specing: the EC on the chromebook has source code available
<steev> in good news, my arm chromebook should (finally) be here the 29th (i got the 3g version)

2012-11-20

<mnemoc> but the damn chromebook was 2 weeks waiting in his house and now it has been another stuck in memphis

2012-11-15

<mnemoc> and the chromebook review?
<mnemoc> with the chromebook, the cubie and my wife's new phone I thought I was out of control

2012-11-14

<mnemoc> the exynos 5 chromebook is the only relevant one for this channel :)
<zoobab> just getting my Chromebook now

2012-11-11

<rz2k> somehow arm chromebook got his way to people :p

2012-11-07

<ZaEarl> but where are the chromebook sources?
<ZaEarl> they're shipping chromebooks, right? they must have published the gpl sources, right?
<ZaEarl> libv, shouldn't Google's Chromebook include it?

2012-11-05

<RaYmAn> (arm chromebook)

2012-11-04

<mnemoc> ZaEarl: but they could have put more pixels on the chromebook exynos5 :<

2012-11-03

<RaYmAn> hmm..funky.. Chromebook uses OMAP armsoc driver for OMAP5432, which apparently uses Mali T60x

2012-11-02

* RaYmAn peers at his new chromebook on his desk

2012-11-01

<RaYmAn> mnemoc: chromebook arrives tomorrow! :D
<RaYmAn> woo, my chromebook just shipped :D 10 days early :D

2012-10-31

<mnemoc> RaYmAn: this chromebook is going to be fun :)
<xenoxaos> my chromebook.... "Weather conditions might delay delivery of this shipment. This is the most current information available. Please track again later for status updates."
<RaYmAn> mnemoc: chromebook arrived yet? =P

2012-10-30

* WarheadsSE wants a new chromebook
<mnemoc> my chromebook was delivered today to the home of one of my collegues in usa

2012-10-29

<L84Supper> Google ARM netbook and now Nexus 10 tablet, will the tablet be locked down or open like the chromebook?
<Turl> stuff like the chromebook on the other hand, I'd expect it did
<mnemoc> popolon: but for the same price of the equivalent chromebook

2012-10-28

<RaYmAn> you got the new chromebook yet? =P

2012-10-27

<Turl> chromebooks are worthless without the intertubes :(
<mnemoc> the chromebook
* mnemoc wants his chromebook
<RaYmAn> these chromebooks are actually tempting for $family
<mnemoc> the chromebook is better idea :p

2012-10-26

<mnemoc> just like the chromebook
<mnemoc> the chromebook's is matte. that's nice
<RaYmAn> mnemoc: My main concern about chromebook is whether it's fully recoverable - e.g. unbrickable
<mnemoc> my chromebook is still in memphis :<
<RaYmAn> well, this does look cool - though, I don't see why anyone would choose that over e.g. chromebook or nexus 10 (if true)
<mnemoc> the price of the chromebook :p
<L84Supper> the new chromebook explains the reluctance of Samsung to sell it's ARM soc's for competitive projects

2012-10-25

<L84Supper> openSUSE Running On $249 Google Chromebook
<L84Supper> I'm much more interested in the ARM Chromebook and possibly expanding it's emmc to 60x the size
<mnemoc> and that my chromebook got shipped :p

2012-10-24

<RaYmAn> you got chromebook?
<mnemoc> armhf cedarx libs and chromebook the same day. happy happy joy joy
<mnemoc> my chromebook got shipped! \o/

2012-10-22

<mnemoc> but a free chromebook wouldn't be a bad thing

2012-10-21

<zontar> anyone shove ubuntu or some other linux onto the new chromebook yet?

2012-10-20

<mnemoc> L84Supper: having both modes it's warrantied on all google chromebooks
<Turl> entering dev mode wipes your chromebook so there's no risk

2012-10-19

<RaYmAn> i'm unsure whether snow or daisy is the chromebook...I guess it might be 3g vs non-3g?
<RaYmAn> unless it's a good deal below 249$, the new samsung chromebook seems like the only real choice =P (if you live ina supported country)
<jlj> does linux support the Exynos 5250 cpu in the new samsung arm chromebook?
<mnemoc> grevaillot: great!, so one should be able to "repurpose" the closed libs in the exynos5 chromebook and run a normal linux system without much trouble

2012-10-18

<RaYmAn> it's almost depressingly funny how much that chromebook looks like a macbook, lol
<RaYmAn> but that chromebook does look very nice :)
<RaYmAn> It's not a laptop, it's a chromebook! :P (And no - I have a asus transformer prime with keyboard dock.)

2012-10-08

<L84Supper> I gues they want everyone to buy Chromebooks

2012-08-07

<traeak> chromebook ?
<WarheadsSE> just a chromebook propped on one knee
