cheap yes, but only 512 ram
<oliv3r>
the next tablet I buy, must have 1G
<oliv3r>
ideally IPS,but it needs 1G at least, 512 isn't enough
<Turl>
wingrime_: pong

Hello there
<Black_Horseman>
i want to make a media player with cubieboard
<Black_Horseman>
which distro is compatible with it?
<Black_Horseman>
i use opensuse
auxym has joined #linux-sunxi
<auxym>
lsmod | grep rt
<auxym>
shit wrong term window
<Turl>
Black_Horseman: any distro with armhf support should work if you know what you're doing
<Black_Horseman>
well, i am a beginer
<Black_Horseman>
there is a distro of openSUSE with arm support
<Black_Horseman>
but it is tested for raspberry pi
<Turl>
for a beginner I'd go with the fedora or ubuntu images
<Black_Horseman>
i am using over a year openSUSE in my laptop and an old desktop pc (celeron 600MHz and 512mb RAM)
<Black_Horseman>
i 've never tried it on a dev board
<Turl>
I meant sunxi beginner :) I don't see any premade openSUSE image so you'd have to build your own bootloader, kernel, get a proper arm rootfs for openSUSE and glue it all together by yourself
<Black_Horseman>
this is out of my league
<Turl>
you can probably get away without building kernel and bootloader by using a hwpack, but still
<Black_Horseman>
so ubuntu it is
<Turl>
I'd try a premade image and once you're confortable with that and have read the wiki pages, maybe try to replace the rootfs with an openSUSE one, and work from there :)
<Black_Horseman>
i was using dual boot ubuntu 9.04 and vista in 2009
<Black_Horseman>
so i am familiar with ubuntu
<Black_Horseman>
Turl wich wm does ubuntu have for arm?
<Black_Horseman>
i hope not unity
<Turl>
Black_Horseman: unity I think, maybe unity 2d
<Turl>
I haven't used it so I'm unsure
<Black_Horseman>
ok thnx mate
<Black_Horseman>
unity was the reason i dumped ubuntu
hglm has joined #linux-sunxi
<Turl>
Black_Horseman: the fedora image has xfce I believe
<hglm>
You can also use Debian (on which Ubuntu is based), there are Debian images that use LXDE as wm.
<Black_Horseman>
i have n't tried fedora
<Black_Horseman>
neither debian
<Turl>
Black_Horseman: well, the image installation is amongst the easiest, I'd give it a chance
<Black_Horseman>
hmm
<Black_Horseman>
well when i get my hands o cubie i'll give it a shot
<Black_Horseman>
does cubie boots from an HDD?
<Turl>
no, from SD Card
<Turl>
(well, microSD to be more precise)
<Black_Horseman>
only from the SD card?
<Turl>
also from NAND, but SD card is easier
<Black_Horseman>
i see
<Black_Horseman>
NAND is empty, or is it come with preintalled OS?
<Turl>
nowadays cubieboard ships with Android preinstalled I believe
<Black_Horseman>
well here in greece i have found a reseller for cubie
<Black_Horseman>
i wil ask if it has an OS onboard

Turl: yeah but a10 doesn't do 2g, and do we know a20 does handle itproperly
<oliv3r>
Black_Horseman: cubie 1.0 has android preinstalled, cubie 2.0 has ubuntu i think preinstalled
<Black_Horseman>
hmmmm
<Black_Horseman>
thnx fr the tip
<Black_Horseman>
for*
<Black_Horseman>
the reseller here in greece says android preinstalled
<Black_Horseman>
and that cubie can boot linux distro from HDD SATA
<bfree>
"cubie can boot linux distro from HDD SATA" ... only sort-of, the first boot files (u-boot, board and kernel/initrd) still have to be on sd or nand
<Black_Horseman>
i see...

slight annoyance however: right now the framebuffer goes off-screen to the left and bottom, is there an easy fix, just until i setup the networking and can ssh

is it normal that ifconfig only gives me the loopback? or does it mean the module for the wifi chip isnt loaded?
<hramrach__>
jemk: there is some special casing of pictures over 1024 in the cedar lib, yes
<hramrach__>
and it downscales all right
