saved me possible woes with getting video going
<bfree>
debian's 3.9 (sid) and 3.10 (experimental) images have armmp which supports the A10, however there's only what is supported inthe mainline kernel so no sd, usb, sata, eth or nand (at least) ... and only 3.9 has been compiled so far (3.10 still waiting for the buildd to get to it)

I'll probably get around to updating "deb http://dl.linux-sunxi.org/users/niall/debian/ ./" again soon enough which has a pretty bloated "desktop" style 3.4 sunxi kernel debian package (and headers package and u-boot) ... if you want to see if it floats your boat
stefanro has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
<Bushmills>
desktop? over ssh/xdmcp or running some X11 itself, outputting to video monitor?
<bfree>
it's just a kernel. desktop as in it's config is pretty similar to what you get from a desktop distro's kernel (e.g. lvm, nbd, nfs, tun, autofs, dvb stuff, etc etc)
<Bushmills>
i haven't used video out from cubie a lot, due to my monitor having 1680x1050, and A10 appears wanting 1920x1080 or 1280x720, which are just bracketing the capabilities of mine

the governor which seems to support my usage pattern best as far appears to be the fantasy one. looks like it pushes clock up quickly on load or interaction, and reduces it gradually afterwards.
<Bushmills>
ondemand keeps it too low sometimes for interactive use
<Bushmills>
so if your kernel offers additional governors besides ondemand and performance, i'd not be unhappy about it.

hi I finally get my wireless adapter working on cubie, but now when I'm using it, my cubie are turnning off
<mike_sun>
what can I do?
<mike_sun>
I'm using usb cable as power supply
hurtigbuffer is now known as jelly-home
<mike_sun>
any idea?
<mike_sun>
thanks
<bfree>
Bushmills: no fantasy in there (afaik it's some crazy allwinner creation) ... it has performance, userspace, ondemand and conservative
<bfree>
mike_sun: probably a lack of power, what is your psu? normal usb 500ma?
emilepetrone has joined #cubieboard
<mike_sun>
I'm using my tv decoder usb as psu
<mike_sun>
I'm really don't know if it is 500ma
<bfree>
safe to say that's just normal 500ma ... probably not enough for your cubie+wifi. at least that is what I would presume

now that vmlinuz-3.4-29.sunxi.4-sunxi-sun4i is installed, sitting in boot - will i need to copy/link this to uImage?
<Bushmills>
seems there's a config.gz in /proc which renders q for .config as answered
<Bushmills>
i forgot that vmlinuz is gz-compressed :/
<Bushmills>
another thoughtlessness with the premade cubian image is that the - benefit doubtful - swap partition sits right behind the root partition, which doesn't help resizing the volume

<user_2>
rm, does your kernel make function the audio on hdmi?
<Bushmills>
autofs may make sense together with the tun support you're providing, as mounting remote volumes over a network is something you often want to do through a tunneled connection
<user_2>
i am using cubian (i installed lxde, gnash, midori). youtube video works but theu are mute, no audio output.
<user_2>
(with linaro audio works on hdmi, so it is not my hardware failure)
* jelly-home
wonders what cubian is
<user_2>
jelly-home shoud google "cubian cubieboard"
<jelly-home>
ah, a nand image. I don't trust images from unknown people, I can barely let myself use rm's kernel <g>
* lerc
also googles
<user_2>
jelly-home, do you have a system to create a nnad image by yourself? i have not, so i must trust other people (and maybe recompile kernel as last activity with my tailored choose)
<jelly-home>
user_2: I do not use nand at all.
<user_2>
so, do you buind your own image for uSD?
<jelly-home>
it's actually a sd/sata combo
<user_2>
boot on uSD and root on sata?
<jelly-home>
that's what it's going to be once it works
<user_2>
jobe in progress :-)
<user_2>
anyway, do you do 100% from scracth? if not, in means that also toy must trust someone else than you.
<jelly-home>
indeed, but I have more faith in people who decribe the process to make their image than a kid that just provides the downloadable
<Bushmills>
cubian also doesn't bother to set up loopback network device. some programs don't like that.
tpaper has joined #cubieboard

Bushmills, cubian make a script that make distro from scratch. you can downold and analize it, it is done in bash. (btw, i dowload it but i got errrs in execution, maybe anoter pair of eyes looking at it, can be able to make it run)
<Bushmills>
yes, i know
<user_2>
did you try the scriot with succe3ss?
<Bushmills>
i'm just looking at the image to get an idea which image can be recommended, and which one less so, for folks looking for a ready to use image
<Bushmills>
as far i only have forked and modified it a bit :)
<Bushmills>
(and send the pull request)
<user_2>
so, whet you tink to identified a good image, tell aso to me .-)
<Bushmills>
i'll try it once i'm through modifying it ...
<user_2>
so at the end i must trust you :-)
<Bushmills>
apart from cleaning up some inconsistencies, that helped me getting a reasonable idea about what it is doing.
<Bushmills>
sort of educative
<Bushmills>
why would you do that, trusting me.
<Bushmills>
you have no reason to
<user_2>
it was a joke, never mind :-)
<user_2>
the meaning is "if i will not do 100% by myself, it means that more or less, i must trust in the work someone did before me because i will use it".
<Bushmills>
though those who can be trusted the least are the people saying that you can trust them

I have seen some people posting links the the images they made
<user_2>
i read this "Pre-built application binaries of this port are not available so therefore you will need to compile XBMC yourself, at least until if and when the code makes it into the mainline XBMC upstream at http://xbmc.org" so it seems xbmc on cedarx is stull at the beginning :(
<ssvb_>
well, it kinda works
<user_2>
ssvb_, im not so cofniden with recompiling...
<ssvb_>
the patches are of course not accepted by XBMC upstream, that's why the XBMC packaged for your distro is not going to work well
<user_2>
anyway, now i prefere to focut to inderstnd how to make this mute cb to play audio on hdmi, s i can hear youtube at least
<ssvb_>
regarding XBMC, it means that anyone can compile the package (it takes time though), and anyone can publish the binaries or the whole image
<user_2>
yep
<ssvb_>
this works for me :)
<user_2>
did you are able to make xbmc vorks with cedarrx?
<ssvb_>
yes, I compiled it and it works

about your sound problem, you can check the log output from mplayer to see what kind of audio output it tries to use
<user_2>
chech the log...

<user_2>
do you mean /var/log/syslog?
<user_2>
or some else?
<ssvb_>
when you run console version of mplayer, it should print log to the console
<user_2>
if i run gmome-mplayer file.avi form command line it start, and on CLI i have some gtk.critical and gtk-warning message, but othig related to audio/sound.
<ssvb_>
when you run some gui frontend for mplayer, the log must be available somewhere in the menu
<user_2>
let me see the GUI interface menu...
<ssvb_>
it would be easier to first experiment with CLI mplayer though

maybe the user is not isude te right groups? maybe no device presentr in /dev?

looks like it's mostly ok from the mplayer side, it uses ffmp3float codec to decode video, tries pulse and fallbacks to alsa

alsa is supposedly fine, but I guess it might go to the wrong jack or just be muted
