Since it's already 2020-01-25 in Europe I'll probably go ahead and cut the real RC branch before I goto bed
<lanefu>
once the new RC images are built we can send announcement to the community to ask for help testing

lanefu: I figured you must be waiting for something, because the announcement itself looked good to me :)

Oh I just noticed a lapse in logging for almost 3 min there (nothing was said anyway)
<TRS-80>
Been delving into sub-forums I haven't before (currently: Research)
<TRS-80>
I am also looking at armbian-config for only like the second (maybe third) time
<TRS-80>
I don't like wizards (in general) but Igor keeps calling for help with it
<TRS-80>
Yeah I guess this must be for people who shun the command line, I don't really see the point otherwise
<lanefu>
the roots of armbian were to make an easy package for setting up a homeserver on an odroid
<lanefu>
and yeah armbian-config emulates some of the spirit of raspi-config to make it a little more palatable for newbs :)
<TRS-80>
I thought Cubietruck? That is what I learned from presentation Igor did at BalCCon2K17 which can be seen here: https://www.armbian.com/authors/

Hi, guys .. I am still wondering about the best platform for running armbian. I have a couple of devices (few lime a10 that are not longer supported and a NanoPi-NEO-Plus2 that is also not supported and I want .. piece of mind for my next board
<keesj>
at the same time I would not mind trying a recent rootfs and possibly mainline kernel on the a10 lime

keesj: Orange Pis and Odroids are probably a safe bet...... a lot of times its more to do with the SoC that loses support

Speaking of A10 lime it might still be possible to run Fedora on it
<lykt>
All my A10 and A20 devices ended up in basement collecting dust though
<lykt>
H3, H5, H6 ones are well supported these days, are also faster and cheaper

I think... If I upgrade the kernel.. why not keep it for a little longer
<keesj>
but it also appears there is a lot of choice today (a little to much)
<TRS-80>
keesj: What do you mean by "a little too much"?
<TRS-80>
in boards? or kernels? or...? :)
<keesj>
different boards indeed
<TRS-80>
keesj: Yes, seems like endless choices. I have been reading on this stuff for years, and still feel I know only some fraction of what is out there.
<TRS-80>
I keep having some idea for a collaboratively edited "
<TRS-80>
oops
<TRS-80>
... "recommend me a board" flowchart
<TRS-80>
using something like draw.io
<TRS-80>
I didn't realize until now that draw.io website software, their desktop client, and main underlying library are all Apache-2.0 licensed. Neat! :)
emOne has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<lanefu>
TRS-80: oh that awesome i didn't know that
<archetech>
reading the docs on building armbian is vagrant required ?
<TRS-80>
more looking into draw.io: dark theme (check), lots of symbols (check), appears super easy to use (check), you can also save to local device, GitHub, and some other options
<TRS-80>
I been looking for something for long time for flowcharting and simple diagrams just to quickly iterate some idea some times before starting to code, or to clarify some process, but never found a tool I liked. Usually too high learning curve got in the way of ideas flowing. But I think I finaly found suitable tool here with draw.io. Much excite!
<lanefu>
archetech: vagrant is not required... a Ubuntu 18.04 VM is the simplest way
<archetech>
lanefu: ok got that
<lanefu>
and just run the build tools within that
* TRS-80
has also lately been studying qemu, kvm, etc.
<lanefu>
TRS-80: i got KVM running on an orangepi once.. it was cool
<lanefu>
its funny because the arm VM can use a standard ARM distro installer because it has a virtual UEFI
<archetech>
lanefu: what's a good dir location to build images ?
<archetech>
home/me/build?
<lanefu>
archetech: thats basically how i do it
<lanefu>
make sure that volume has a decent amount of room
<lanefu>
build/cache can get quite large
<archetech>
30GB
<lanefu>
i actually end up mounting build/cache and build output to another volue because my home partition is small
<lanefu>
that should be fine
<archetech>
do u add any vars to bash?
<archetech>
like flags etc
<lanefu>
nope `sudo ./compile.sh` is usually sufficient
<archetech>
great ty
<lanefu>
once you get used to the system you can pass options to skip menus
<archetech>
off I go for the rock64
<lanefu>
woohoo
<archetech>
latest everything build
<archetech>
want mainline kern mainly
<archetech>
ls
<archetech>
glad I ran this first ima version back sudo cat /etc/os-release
<lanefu>
oh running 16.04?
<archetech>
18.03
<archetech>
doc says use 18.04
<lanefu>
whats the full version
<archetech>
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS"
<archetech>
VERSION_ID="18.04"
<archetech>
ty
<archetech>
didnt see that
<lanefu>
:) thats what i thought
<lanefu>
you're good to go
<lanefu>
FYI on your rock64 with existing armbian, you should be able to switch to mainline using `armbian-config`
<archetech>
was just reading the docs inthe dir for that reason ty
* archetech
noob alert
<lanefu>
haha
<lanefu>
well for the record building your own is fun
<lanefu>
but not the shortest path
count-doku has joined #armbian
<archetech>
as I said ive built linux fr scratch already but now I need a kernel for it so ill buid a full armbian first
<archetech>
get aquainted
<archetech>
how long does it take to build an image ona I5-3470 w/ 2 cores?
<archetech>
approx
<lanefu>
hmmm trying to remember
<lanefu>
first time its gonna have to download all the tools and rootfs... so your intenet connection will impact it
<lanefu>
i'll ballpark 60-90 minutes for you
<lanefu>
i have a 40 thread xeon server i build on so.. its been a while since i ran on something lighter
<archetech>
ok what I thought too sudo ./compile.sh says no option selected
<archetech>
lol 40 threads sheesh
<lanefu>
i used to do datacenter stuff so sometimes you get hooked up
<archetech>
if I go hog wild on this building I have a 16 thread ryzen
<lanefu>
that'll probably smoke my xeon
<lanefu>
single thead performance is even slightly better on my i7-2600
<lanefu>
which is omy old build box
<archetech>
na its a 12 thread r5-1600 cheapo build
<lanefu>
can you link me to a screenshot of your error message
<IgorPec>
TRS-80: are flags still actual? I have seen them, but had no time to react
<lanefu>
hopefully i'll be pointing the official build repo to my jenkins later this evening
<IgorPec>
great!
<lanefu>
i may need to do some return code wrangling.. i think the build sometikmes passes if a compile fails :P
<IgorPec>
hehe
<TRS-80>
IgorPec: No, don't worry. That is what I hope to formalize in a process where (so far I am thinking like) New Report (Flag) = still require attention by someone (maybe higher up); In Progress (triangle)(forgot what it's called) = only being left there for teaching
<TRS-80>
idea is quickly let you guys look for things where we need your guidance (Flag) vs just discussing ourselves (Triangle) and then closed of course
<lanefu>
its been helpful..
<TRS-80>
I was thinking better there than pollute IRC or forums, subject material readily at hand, besides not everyone on IRC either
<IgorPec>
what is with this guy TooMuchCensorshipRequired
<IgorPec>
?
<TRS-80>
what we were talking / joking about above
<TRS-80>
same guy I had run in the other day, he changed his name from ForumNameRequired or something
<IgorPec>
aha. we don't have many of such characters around
<lanefu>
i figure if we just let him cry until he gets tired he'll stop
<lanefu>
(if we ignore him)
<IgorPec>
yes, IMO better
<TRS-80>
as I mentioned flag (maybe continue discussion there) remains the question whether we think balbes rightly closed the topic or not (I think maybe not, but that is his "area")

IgorPec: what should I be doing to specify a custom config file for build.... this isn't it :)
