04:40.08 | Hexxeh | there was X accel like a year ago but it was poor/buggy |
04:40.11 | t0dbld | i mean linus himself a few days ago gave nvidia the middle finger for not helping and supporting linux even while they were pusing android so heavily |

08:25.40 | lundman | Depending on which player I use in ICS4, I can watch .avi |
08:26.01 | TomNL | thnx lundman |
08:26.17 | lundman | lemme check |
08:26.19 | hipboi_ | the default 2160p player can play any video |
08:27.33 | lundman | Robot.Chicken.S05E02.HDTV.XviD-2HD/robot.chicken.s05e02.hdtv.xvid-2hd.avi plays with MX Player OK |
08:27.59 | lundman | hipboi: the default 2160p only works for localStorage. never shows for any upnp/http playback |
08:28.04 | lundman | so its in fact, useless for me :) |
08:28.24 | TomNL | lundman: but is show the HW can decode the various formats |
08:28.27 | TomNL | right? |
08:28.36 | TomNL | *shows |
08:29.07 | lundman | dont know if the hardware handles the transport stream container. however, it plays at full framerate, so "it works" :) |

08:29.47 | lundman | and that is from inside .rar, llink will stream rar on the fly. but thats more of a host-side operation |
08:29.54 | lundman | I should compile llink for mele, why not |
08:30.43 | zenitraM | mxplayer supports hw playback at least on ICS |
08:30.57 | zenitraM | including http streaming |
08:31.29 | zenitraM | i've seen HDTV (DVB-T passed as-is over HTTP) with it and it plays fine and with HW accel |
08:38.45 | lundman | I have tried BSplayer, Dice, Mobo, MX, Tvd, some play avi, all play MKV |

16:40.38 | zenitraM | name-validation? |
16:41.53 | mnemoc | afaik online transactions need to get other info validated to get accepted beside the 3 digits thing |
16:41.57 | rm | I wonder if we're going to see an MK802-style device directly from Google |
16:42.19 | mnemoc | google io is comming |
16:42.21 | rm | or from some big name like I dunno ASUS or Toshiba or Lenovo |
16:42.39 | mnemoc | but I wouldn't expect any big brand to make a dongle computer |
16:42.49 | zenitraM | then put your name |
16:42.53 | mnemoc | :) |
16:42.58 | mnemoc | true |
16:43.10 | mnemoc | I'll make a dummy account with my name |
16:43.29 | zenitraM | the prepaid part is to avoid "accidental" hello-kitty-background-buying |
16:43.48 | rm | linux is just wow |
16:43.55 | rm | dd if=image of=sdcard |
16:44.02 | rm | "whoops, made a mistake". Ctrl-C |
16:44.19 | mnemoc | got one of those on facebook.... when you use paypal there once the assume you authorize any future transaction blindly |
16:44.25 | rm | ^C appears in the terminal. Nothing else happens |
16:44.32 | rm | SD card still being written to |
16:44.40 | rm | and it's like that for the past ~5 minutes |
16:44.49 | mnemoc | ctrl-z |
16:44.53 | mnemoc | kill %1 |
16:45.07 | rm | educated guess: the whole 4GB image got submitted into the write buffers |
16:45.12 | zenitraM | you have a slow card |
16:45.16 | rm | yes I do |
16:45.17 | zenitraM | yup that's probably what happened |
16:45.37 | zenitraM | i think there's a "sync" option on dd which skips buffers |
16:45.39 | rm | helps that I have 16 GB of RAM here |
16:45.44 | rm | still, one would expect ctrl-C to work |
16:45.56 | mnemoc | 16GB and crappy SD, come on |
16:46.12 | TomNL | Gus did anyone get the opengles running on ubuntu? |
16:46.25 | zenitraM | i have 8 gb and can count 5 class2-4 microSDs on top of my table |
16:46.41 | rm | I have class 4 of 4 and 8 GB |
16:46.45 | rm | and a 32GB microSD |
16:46.55 | mnemoc | class 2? :p |
16:47.14 | rm | *checked* no, class 4 too :) |
16:47.15 | zenitraM | well, actually they have no class at all |
16:47.50 | zenitraM | and half of them i've actually found them on the street |
16:48.04 | rm | I figure I'll use what I have until a slowness inconveniences me and it can be traced down to SD card |
16:48.13 | *** part/#arm-netbook QingPei (~qingpei@123.118.104.70) |
16:48.29 | rm | besides, I have a feeling that all those SD cards when used as a root FS of a GNU/Linux system |
16:48.40 | rm | are going to be something close to an expendable product |
16:49.08 | zenitraM | that's what sata is for |
16:49.13 | mnemoc | zenitraM: btw, did you receive the cards from ooferton? |
16:49.24 | zenitraM | mnemoc: not yet, and you? |
16:49.28 | mnemoc | neither |
16:49.44 | mnemoc | and just noticed it's another brand of the groupon scammers |
16:52.22 | zenitraM | great, i don't know what is my password and there's not any submit button on the "remember my password" page |
16:53.17 | mnemoc | I get the POST sent, but back to the same page and no mail at all |

16:59.50 | traeak | rm: you kept the case on? |
17:00.52 | traeak | for now i have /home on a sata drive and all the distro packages there as well |
17:01.00 | traeak | the mele's sata thorughput is really good |

17:02.43 | traeak | how to get external poer to the dock? |
17:02.44 | traeak | anyways |
17:02.57 | traeak | looks like the last mele kernel dropped my sata (grr) |
17:04.18 | zenitraM | mmm using a proper sata cable to the motherboard |
17:04.34 | traeak | you got one handy? :-p |

17:06.16 | zenitraM | someone in forocoches wonders if a sata dvd burner would work on linux... |
17:06.24 | zenitraM | i wouldn't waste dvds trying |

17:08.18 | rm | or waste time, writing them (anymore) |
17:11.53 | xenoxaos | who uses dvds anymore? |
17:12.49 | zenitraM | i use them for the sole purpose of booting linux on my macbook |
17:13.00 | zenitraM | which is nearly impossible to boot from usb due to the friggin' unstandard EFI |
17:13.29 | traeak | what are dvds? |
17:14.09 | RaYmAn | zenitraM: http://refit.sourceforge.net/ ? |
17:14.13 | traeak | zenitraM: all the other sata drives i tried worked fine in the mele |
17:14.27 | traeak | zenitraM: so i'm not going to kill myself just to benchmark my fastest 2.5" sata drive :-p |
17:15.20 | zenitraM | RaYmAn: yup, but grub on EFI has several problems, so i just use BIOS grub over BIOS emulation mode |
17:15.30 | zenitraM | and BIOS emulation mode won't boot from USB |
17:17.26 | rm | is there a way to install e.g. Debian to internal flash? |
17:17.34 | rm | or no one does that to not wear it out? |
17:17.53 | traeak | http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.hardware.netbook.arm/3385 |
17:18.04 | traeak | this posting is pretty interesting |
17:18.07 | traeak | more vaporware |
17:21.16 | mnemoc | zenitraM: shared account worked. you can use a different card holder name and set a pin to protect from unexpected purchases... specially since they now allow you to rent movies at absurdly high prices |

17:58.48 | traeak | the current branch seems to fail to build a few things |
18:03.47 | mnemoc | traeak: 3.0-v2 is sort of fixes-only while I work on 3.3 |
18:03.56 | mnemoc | traeak: what fails to build? |
18:05.01 | traeak | cp: cannot stat ‘drivers/ata/sw_ahci_platform.ko’: No such file or directory |
18:05.13 | traeak | during modules build a ton of stuff blows out |
18:05.15 | traeak | that's just one sample |
18:05.23 | mnemoc | o_O |
18:05.41 | traeak | could be modules_install is hosed |
18:05.47 | traeak | ring a bell atall? |
18:06.00 | RaYmAn | that sounds surprisingly non-arm like error :P |

18:06.53 | mnemoc | traeak: very strange, I build 3.0-v2 for every _defconfig we have after every commit |
18:07.00 | mnemoc | traeak: how are you building it? |
18:07.10 | traeak | mnemoc: well i had to disable the MALI part of the drivers |
18:07.14 | traeak | perhaps that's where my grief is |
18:07.44 | traeak | so a newer requirement is i have to download and drop the mali stuff somewhere? |
18:08.05 | mnemoc | no... mali is built as part of the normal `make modules` cycle |
18:08.29 | mnemoc | and it's perfectly fine to disable it |
18:08.34 | traeak | that was failing as well |
18:08.40 | traeak | okay time to back up then i'll come back again :-p |
18:09.03 | traeak | arch/arm/configs/sun4i_defconfig <- using that one |
18:09.56 | mnemoc | can you double check what branch you are using and that you are in sync with the repo? |
18:10.09 | traeak | i pulled the repo from scratch |
18:10.14 | mnemoc | what repo? |
18:11.45 | mnemoc | and how are you building it exactly? |
18:12.05 | traeak | allwinner-v3.0-android-v2 |
18:12.07 | traeak | i'm on this branch |
18:12.15 | mnemoc | from what repo? |
18:12.23 | traeak | yeah...trying to figure out the git command to show that |
18:12.32 | mnemoc | git remote -v |
18:12.47 | mnemoc | or cat .git/config |
18:12.47 | traeak | git://github.com/amery/linux-allwinner |
18:13.00 | mnemoc | ok, that's good |
18:13.04 | mnemoc | then what do you do? |

18:23.19 | traeak | -DSVN_REV=Unversioned directory -DSVN_REV_STRING=\"Unversioned directory\" |
18:23.32 | traeak | it's related to the quoting being screwed up |

18:39.10 | mnemoc | SVN_REV := $(MALI_RELEASE_NAME) ? |
18:39.31 | mnemoc | see drivers/gpu/mali/mali/Makefile.common |

18:40.33 | mnemoc | ARM is both amazing and retard :| |
18:41.39 | mnemoc | traeak: can you cut out from drivers/gpu/mali/mali/Makefile.common the SVN_REV := voodoo ? |
18:41.53 | mnemoc | same from drivers/gpu/mali/ump/Makefile.common |
18:43.04 | mnemoc | and leave only SVN_REV := $(MALI_RELEASE_NAME) |
18:43.09 | traeak | sure |
18:44.50 | traeak | ahh much better |
18:44.58 | traeak | and then the fun of making a patch again (shoudl ahve documnted that b4) |
18:45.01 | mnemoc | why are days this short? snif snif snif |
18:47.44 | mnemoc | traeak: I don't need a pull request, a ticket with a link to download files generated by `git-format-patch` is even better for me |
18:48.34 | traeak | ahh good |
18:48.41 | traeak | so properly document it |
18:51.26 | mnemoc | just make the commit and call `git format-patch` |

19:09.42 | traeak | ie: something is strange about what my current branch context is, etc |

19:10.36 | mnemoc | it will generate one .patch for each commit |
19:11.05 | traeak | seems liek "repo" might work but i really really dislike over engineered solutions |
19:11.17 | traeak | why didn't someone just take cvs and fix the file/directory rename stuff ? |

19:11.25 | traeak | and of course add a remote layer to it |

19:12.24 | traeak | okay |
19:12.28 | traeak | a nice keyword |

20:49.59 | Mazon | I've seen several SoCs where they mux ethernet and sata over usb, effectively halving the bandwidth if streaming |
20:51.09 | specing | Mazon: real too |
20:56.48 | traeak | the awesomeness of the a10 is they put good stuff on the SOC |
20:57.09 | traeak | although i did a bad and didn't keep around my older kernel builds |
21:01.42 | mnemoc | boxchip and allwinner(s) names come from that idea, box tons of winners in the same chip |
21:02.02 | zenitraM | little winning chinese workers |
21:02.40 | mnemoc | and avoid western whiners that talk about GPL |
21:02.50 | traeak | mnemoc: can you tell me when i did my previous build? :-p |
21:03.49 | RaYmAn | mnemoc: you really have to wonder why they try so hard to keep the sources closed. There can't be that much R&D involved |
21:04.22 | mnemoc | RaYmAn: they sell the service of doing the software to *some* of their customers |
21:04.44 | RaYmAn | ah, I suppose that kindof makes sense, ish |
21:04.50 | mnemoc | RaYmAn: so by hiding the code they make the life of clonners harder |
21:05.11 | RaYmAn | I suppose |
21:05.25 | RaYmAn | (people clone SoC's?) |
21:05.35 | mnemoc | nope, people clone devices |
21:05.58 | RaYmAn | yeah, but it seems like it's e.g. allwinner that's keeping the sources closed mostly |
21:06.11 | mnemoc | they give the sources under strict NDA |
21:06.15 | *** join/#arm-netbook nibb_ (~jyuyu@41.202.218.87.dynamic.jazztel.es) |
21:06.21 | RaYmAn | exactly |
21:06.52 | RaYmAn | we have an mk802 reseller pushing the factory hard to give out u-boot sources, but no luck so far, lol |
21:06.55 | mnemoc | and they give it by drops, only after you convice "eva" there is a real need for it |
21:07.07 | mnemoc | the factory doesn't have the sources |
21:07.10 | traeak | yup, sign an NDA for sources that are legally open |
21:07.24 | traeak | you could just sign the NDA and then treat it as garbage (hehe) |
21:07.39 | mnemoc | traeak: and then they stop selling you chips |
21:07.45 | traeak | well that would be a side effect yeah |
21:09.00 | mnemoc | also your account to get updates will probably be revoked |
21:09.10 | mnemoc | and your chances of getting any fix in future, lost |
21:10.48 | A0Sheds | they are trying to control the buyers of their parts..... |
21:11.05 | A0Sheds | they aren't just interested in selling as many parts as possible |
21:11.58 | A0Sheds | if they have side deals going on or kickbacks from sales of devices using their SOC they really try to control who uses their parts |
21:12.20 | A0Sheds | it's pretty much the same from all the ARM SOC vendors |
21:12.38 | mnemoc | most of their customers don't care about the software, they simply flash the given image |
21:12.55 | A0Sheds | today ST asked for a whole list of info before giving us pricing |
21:13.26 | A0Sheds | " They are very sensitive to sharing price and would like distributors to do some due diligence with validating customers as production players. They have had many companies coming to them to scrub pricing (which may be driven from their competition). " |
21:13.58 | A0Sheds | I told them it doesn't make any sense since their pricing has to be on par with equivalent SPC's |
21:14.24 | mnemoc | A0Sheds: I was talking about allwinner in particular, but yes. the big brands don't sell to anyone |
21:14.25 | A0Sheds | they just want to know what OS, and who is going to build them |
21:14.44 | A0Sheds | mnemoc, sure, no problem |
21:15.51 | A0Sheds | at some point they treat some parts differently, they don't ask us for the OS for a 16 bit micro or who is going to build the device that 120 different passives are going into |
21:16.10 | traeak | well i'm done for today...too much PITA to deal with ATM (ugh acronyms) |
21:16.28 | A0Sheds | Freescale seems to be the only vendor handing pricing to distis |
21:16.54 | A0Sheds | pricing for the others is usually leaked |
21:20.21 | mnemoc | A0Sheds: Q1 2012 |
21:20.25 | mnemoc | 2013* |
21:20.52 | A0Sheds | mnemoc, yeah, maybe 6-9 months to see cards |

21:22.34 | IEF | barges in |
21:22.54 | mnemoc | hi |
21:23.24 | IEF | one more MK802 owner here |
21:23.25 | IEF | :p |
21:23.45 | IEF | and quite annoyed at not being able to run my own kernels |
21:24.55 | mnemoc | i've been told that dongle has test points to solder an uart |
21:25.03 | mnemoc | the pins I mean |
21:25.04 | IEF | well yeah, maybe |
21:25.22 | IEF | nobody has taken the time to measure them yet |
21:25.31 | IEF | I'll probably do it tomorrow |
21:25.37 | mnemoc | :) |
21:26.06 | IEF | but, it's not either the kernel or u-boot that needs tweaking for MK802 |
21:26.14 | IEF | kinda has to be both |
21:26.23 | mnemoc | i doubt |
21:26.31 | IEF | (I tried replacing both seperately) |
21:26.40 | IEF | from the Mele image |
21:26.47 | IEF | so that's uh, weird. |
21:27.04 | mnemoc | be sure to use the right script.bin/evb.bin |
21:27.12 | IEF | yeah, I was |
21:27.13 | mnemoc | they aren't cross-board compatible |
21:27.32 | RaYmAn | mnemoc: surprisingly, the mk802 actually boots using the mele script.bin/evb.bin |
21:27.35 | RaYmAn | lol |
21:27.40 | IEF | yeah |
21:27.40 | mnemoc | RaYmAn: :o |
21:27.44 | IEF | it does |
21:27.46 | RaYmAn | but that's probably because it has so little extra hardware |
21:28.00 | RaYmAn | as in, practically none |
21:28.10 | mnemoc | right, nothing conflicts |
21:28.11 | IEF | mnemoc: what's this memory= cmdline parameter? |
21:28.22 | RaYmAn | nand doesn't work on the mele image |

21:48.45 | traeak | RaYmAn: the images you download have pretty crummy kernels |
21:48.55 | lundman | mazon: cubox is nice for hacking and general unix, but mele is better for mediaplayer and android |
21:49.03 | RaYmAn | traeak: yeah. |
21:49.17 | lundman | I also have 6 NMTs, and 1 Dune |
21:49.37 | RaYmAn | traeak: I just got the thing, so figured I'd start out with plain android and plain ubuntu that others have confirmed working, just to get a feel for the device =P |
21:50.06 | traeak | RaYmAn: sure, that's reasonable |
21:50.31 | RaYmAn | I really want to get the 'usual' kernels going on this |
21:51.17 | traeak | i don't think one of those exists |
21:52.36 | RaYmAn | by usual I mean something like https://github.com/amery/linux-allwinner |
21:52.37 | RaYmAn | =P |
21:53.41 | traeak | oh |
21:53.46 | traeak | yeah that's what i'm running |
21:53.54 | RaYmAn | tbh, any custom kernel would be fine right now |
21:53.55 | RaYmAn | lol |
21:53.59 | traeak | although now i'm kicking myself because i didn't snapshot the kernels very well |
21:54.03 | traeak | i was but then trashed them |
21:54.14 | traeak | and now i'm seeing a regression i want to chase down |
21:54.24 | Mazon | lundman: yeah - I'm mostly looking at general unix (server) - so the gigabit + sata and 1GB ram is more of value ot me |
21:54.30 | RaYmAn | yeah, hard to bisect if you don't know when it last worked, lol |
21:54.32 | traeak | i would like to verify that the hardware isn't jacked though |
21:54.44 | traeak | gigabit you won't find on the mele |
21:55.01 | Mazon | traeak: idd, which is why the cubox is more interresting |
21:55.07 | traeak | i guess the mx6 or whatever will have it |
21:55.26 | Mazon | imx6 and omap5 looks very interresting - but they're not due for a while still |
21:55.40 | Mazon | imx were supposed to be out in 2011 -.- |
21:55.43 | Mazon | imx6 |
21:56.59 | lundman | I'm using cubox to build the kernel for mele.. mostly because I'm lazy :) |
21:57.11 | Mazon | heh |
21:57.12 | lundman | but amusingly, the sata port wasn't as useful as I thoguht |
21:57.20 | traeak | Mazon: sure you woudljnt' be happy with one of these from oldegg? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856119067 |
21:57.39 | lundman | since usb has power, you can plug in a ssd and be done. sata you need extra power |
21:58.06 | Mazon | traeak: atom = 20W+ :) |
21:58.08 | traeak | esata gives you options |
21:58.25 | traeak | Mazon: some newer pogoplugs have gigabit and esata as well |
21:58.32 | Mazon | well, I need some filestorage - so esata + port multiplier |
21:58.39 | traeak | Mazon: i think atom idles far below 20W |
21:59.12 | Mazon | atom is usually fine - it's the accompanying chipset that tends to blow |
22:00.16 | Mazon | traeak: it actually has a fan ... |
22:00.45 | traeak | dunno about the 2600 series |
22:00.50 | traeak | other than it uses powervr technology |
22:02.36 | Mazon | seems like idle ~ 15W |
22:02.47 | Mazon | and has a fan |
22:03.01 | Mazon | and it's ginourmous compared to cubox :p |
22:03.54 | Mazon | that said, I'd wish they get some more general purpose Arm SoCs out there |

23:21.57 | traeak | latest commit + 1 would be nice too |
23:22.17 | traeak | steev: got it figured out |
23:22.25 | steev | latest commit + 1 is impossible |
23:22.29 | traeak | really? |
23:22.34 | steev | there is no +1 |
23:22.40 | steev | latest commit is all git knows about |
23:22.46 | steev | however you may be wanting a git diff |
23:22.47 | traeak | because of the way the cursor is maintained |
23:22.54 | steev | which is all the differences from what's committed to now |
23:23.06 | steev | however it won't know about *new files* not in revision control yet |
23:23.09 | traeak | basically i jumped back to may 24th |
23:23.20 | traeak | and then i needed to move the cursor around to find something that actually built |
23:23.31 | steev | you want git bisect |
23:23.41 | traeak | it seems a few checkins resulted in unbuildable states |
23:23.46 | traeak | well, more than a few |
23:24.25 | steev | this is correct, and quite likely with a proprietary (for lack of better term) repository (what is dumped from whomever) |
23:24.34 | steev | realistically, commits should only be done after it's been tested |

23:25.38 | steev | git status tells you everything that may be missing |
23:25.44 | steev | git status should never show red :) |
23:25.48 | traeak | heh |
23:26.14 | traeak | that can sometimes be difficult if there's debug files running around in the code area |
23:26.22 | traeak | i dont' do kernel stuff, algorithmic application stuff |
23:26.47 | traeak | but i am perplexed by why my SATA performance all of a sudden isn't regular |
