09:49 <t0m_> good morning

09:50 <nils_2> good morning t0m_

09:50 <t0m_> i'm planning to use my cubietruck to build a chartplotter and plan to run lubuntu desktop ... what are the advantages/disadvantages of running it on nand/sdcard/external hdd?

09:52 <nils_2> i am using a 256GB ssd and i boot from it. at this moment i am upgrading from trusty to utopic. its way easier to do an upgrade and the nand has only 8(?) gb of memory

09:54 <t0m_> ah got ya ... but performance should be the same?

09:56 <nils_2> performance is very good with the ssd. but i am running the cubietruck 24/7, so i don't boot from it very often

09:57 <t0m_> thanks nils_2

10:30 <nils_2> you're welcome

12:53 <GeneralStupid> REALLY?!! I downloaded an image from our chinese friends xhunlong (OrangePi)... via Baidu (just took the whole night...) AND i cannot unzip it (.tar.gz) it's damaged... BUT file said me it isn't a gunzip archive, it's a bunzip2 archive... _AND_ xvjf worked...

12:53 <GeneralStupid> what kind of experts are working for them?

13:58 <whitesn> hax

14:16 <TheLinuxBug> nils_2: I believe there is a limitation to the NAND like 16M write/18M read or something (woukld have to read again the exact) but point being, if you hook up SSD to SATA or even SATA to USB adapter you will get at least 30M/sec read/write (USB) up to 45M write/100M/read (A20 real SATA). So, performance on hooked up drive will 90% time be more performant than NAND, however NAND is generally better than most SDcard in reliability

14:17 <TheLinuxBug> and depending on the class of the SDcard can be much faster

14:18 <TheLinuxBug> nils_2: just trying to give you some real numbers ;)

14:19 <nils_2> i never told anything about speed, did i? :-)

14:58 <buZz> fyi both SD and SSD also use NAND ;)

15:24 <GeneralStupid> hey, yesterday i said that the download page for the orangepi does not work... I was able to download the android sdk from baidu (~20 hours)

15:27 <GeneralStupid> i uploaded the files to my server... as a mirror

15:40 <GeneralStupid> is anyone here who might help me with that kernel build?

15:40 <GeneralStupid> menuconfig is not there

16:39 <GeneralStupid> ok help please :)

16:39 <GeneralStupid> i cannot find rt2x00 in menuconfig... but the drivers are there

18:09 <tct> Shouldn't we add the instruction echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio2_ph21/direction to http://linux-sunxi.org/Cubieboard/Programming/StatusLEDs ?

18:09 <tct> By default is 'in'

18:10 <tct> and none of the examples there doesn't work

20:06 <TheLinuxBug> tct: signed up on the wiki and maybe add a note under it with what you think it should be (if your not sure) or replace it

20:06 <TheLinuxBug> it is a wiki

20:06 <TheLinuxBug> thats how it works

20:06 <TheLinuxBug> if you find something outdated etc

20:06 <TheLinuxBug> change it or add an update to the page

20:07 <TheLinuxBug> ;)
