cnf: any idea how to start ubuntu instead android?
<cnf>
not the foggiest
<cnf>
i know nothing of these machines, i came here to ask a question :P
<cnf>
been here 3 or 4 days, haven't seen anyone talk ^^;
<CStars>
hmm, it's a great cheeap board. I like it. ;-) faster than my raspis
<CStars>
But in fact i want to have debian running on it. But starting with ubuntu is also ok.
<cnf>
hehe
<cnf>
i'm just looking for something portable
<cnf>
and thickness is imo a deciding factor there
<cnf>
so this looked like a contender
<zombu2>
it looked like a contender then after you get it you find out that software is halfassed and nothing works right and you wish you would have gotten 3 rpi's
<cnf>
haha!
<cnf>
zombu2: welcome to the party :P
<cnf>
zombu2: not happy with it, i gather? :P

<zombu2>
oh the hardware is great
<zombu2>
now they think about making a new board with the old one still not working even 30%
<cnf>
haha
<zombu2>
this is what gives open source a bad name
<cnf>
ah well :/
<cnf>
i'm still looking for a nice portable system :/
<zombu2>
yeah
<cnf>
the r-pi would be fine, if it was thinner
<zombu2>
rpi does what i want
<cnf>
uhu
<cnf>
just ordered an B+
<cnf>
which is fine for at home
<cnf>
just a bit bulky to carry around in my bag
<zombu2>
not that bad
<zombu2>
i wish video acceleration would work right
<zombu2>
and BT and gpio
<cnf>
oh? that's one of the things that does work on the r-pi for me
<cnf>
usb on the other hand :P
<zombu2>
no on the radxa
<zombu2>
no issues on rpi
<cnf>
ah, ok
<zombu2>
well besides video
<cnf>
well, the B has usb issues
<cnf>
but the B+ should have those fixed
<zombu2>
but rpi at home don t need video it s a sprinkler clock heh
<cnf>
hehe
<zombu2>
yeah usb power was routerd kinda funky
<zombu2>
i wish the new rpi had a better cpu and more ram
<cnf>
yeah, sure
<zombu2>
it seems all boards have something missing
<zombu2>
you get a good cpu and rest is crap
<zombu2>
or lots of ram and weak cpu
<cnf>
yeah, well
<cnf>
else they'd cost a shit ton :P
<cnf>
zombu2: have you looked at the odroids?
<zombu2>
i think so
derrick13 has joined #radxa
<cnf>
they looks nice
<zombu2>
yeah but for 179 i can get a pc
<cnf>
yeah :P
<cnf>
they are not cheap :P
<zombu2>
they making a hell of a profit
<zombu2>
and prolly same issues then all the other boards
<cnf>
from what I have read their support is actually very god
<cnf>
good*
<zombu2>
really?
<cnf>
from what I read around, yes
<cnf>
their irc channel is reasonably active as well
<zombu2>
what you can t say from the cubie or radxa
<zombu2>
they put this mali gpu on and can t get the drivers from the manufacturer
<derrick13>
why cant they get the drivers
<zombu2>
closed source
<zombu2>
and they got some wierd policy on them drivers
<zombu2>
i made myself a bluetooth serial console
<derrick13>
wow
<zombu2>
can also be done with wifi
<derrick13>
so video sucks on the radxa?
<zombu2>
yup
<derrick13>
wish i would have known that
<zombu2>
it sucks on cubie on radxa and on rpi
<derrick13>
the android image played a youtube video pretty smoothly, but not android guy
<zombu2>
half assed drivers
<zombu2>
these boards are good for simple things like sprinkler systems garage door and house door openeers but thats it
<cnf>
hey, it is my universal remote :P
<cnf>
which is well useful :P
<zombu2>
i got a phone for that haha
<cnf>
not what mine does
<zombu2>
what does it do
<cnf>
control anything in my media chain with 1 ir remote
<cnf>
plex, TV, the denon, etc
<zombu2>
my phone does that
<cnf>
turns stuff on, and off as well, including the NAS
<zombu2>
my phone does that
<cnf>
sure it does
<zombu2>
my phone has ir port
<cnf>
nice, except half my devices can't be controlled over ir
<cnf>
and IR sucks anyway
<zombu2>
well then you use wifi or bt
<zombu2>
i really like the ir
<cnf>
or, you know, i run my own software that does it all
<zombu2>
thats nice too
<zombu2>
i use bt modules to do my bidding around the housew
<zombu2>
with oss firmware on em they got usb , 11 gpio ,etc

<zombu2>
