[11:57] <Snark> ogra_, will you blog about your arm chromebook? And is it easy to run ubuntu on it? [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM doesn't seem to mention it]
[11:58] <ogra-cb_> well, i currently just use the chrubuntu insteructions to get to ubuntu and then upgraded to raring, nothing special done yet, but yes i will blog, more bout the nexus though
[12:00] <ogra-cb_> Snark, if you want blogposts about chromebooks, hrw is your man (and ojn on g+)
[12:00] <Snark> the nexus 10 doesn't look bad, but 16Go is too small and 32Go is too pricy
[12:00] <Snark> ogra-cb_, links?
[12:00] <ogra-cb_> well, i meant the nexus7
[12:00] <ogra-cb_> there are no current plans for the 10
[12:01] <Snark> ah, 7'' is too small for my taste -- I mostly read on that device!
[12:01] <Snark> s/I mostly read/I would mostly read/
[12:01] * ogra-cb_ too and its awesome with its 300ppi display
[12:01] <Snark> (I mostly read on the AC100 which I do have)
[12:02] <ogra-cb_> graphically the nexus is far advanced over the chromebook, cpu wise the chromebook is stronger
[12:03] <ogra-cb_> anyway, i need to hit the road, will be back online in the evening i suppose
[12:04] <Snark> ok, thanks
[12:04] <Snark> the fact that the chomebook has a keyboard is interesting too... but a tablet with a bluetooth keyboard can be interesting too
[12:05] <lilstevie> ogra-cb_, hmm I thought the Nexus 10 and the Chromebook were both meant to be Exynos 5250
[12:52] <marvin24_> any decision if 13.04 will have a multi-soc kernel?
[14:19] <hrw> Snark: http://gplus.to/hrw and http://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/

[15:35] <lskoder> Hi everybody, i would like install gnu\linux to my tablet, but i'm not very expert about this toys, so somebody can explain me which kind of problems there are to install a arm linux to a tablet?
[16:09] <Snark> hrw, thanks!
[16:49] <Snark> hrw, if that thing has an SD port, it could work like the AC100: the system and /home on the internal storage and the documents in an always-in SD-card that would probably be quite neat
[17:42] <hrw> Snark: it has sd port but half of sd card sticks out
=== jimerick1on is now known as jimerickson
[17:59] <Snark> hrw, a full half? For the AC100 about 5mm do
[18:02] <hrw> for chromebook ~half
[18:03] <Snark> that's probably too much to leave it always inside :-/
[18:04] <Snark> does there exist a 32Go version?
[18:05] <hrw> no ;(

[18:06] <hrw> I am thinking of something like https://www.modmypi.com/shop/raspberry-pi-micro-sd-card-adaptor
[18:08] <Snark> you're thinking about a hardware mod :-/
[18:09] <hrw> no
[18:09] <hrw> its microsd -> sd adapter which should fit in case
[18:10] <hrw> other option is microsd -> usb adapter which will not stick out too much
[18:10] <robclark> is there a way to install armel gcc/libc/etc in parallel w/ armhf versions on 12.10? I need to be able to build some stuff that links against android libdl and blob libs, and at the moment gcc is unhappy about linking armhf bits with non-hardfloat libs..
[18:14] <hrw> robclark: nope ;(
[18:14] * hrw -> out
[18:14] <robclark> :-(
[18:14] <robclark> this will be inconvenient..
[18:28] <RaYmAn> I would imagine it's theoretically possible to make an intermediary armhflib that calls armel libs using assembly
[18:38] <infinity> robclark: apt-get install gcc-multilib
[18:38] <infinity> robclark: Then gcc -float-abi=softfp
[19:07] <Snark> eh, I have a microSD -> SD adaptater already... got it with my phone
[19:55] <robclark> infinity, ok, that is getting me closer.. still hitting some assert in the newer toolchain (compared to 11.10).. http://www.hastebin.com/lewurakuva.lua
[19:55] <robclark> maybe I'll just have to build in a chroot..
[22:18] <infinity> robclark: If that was meant to be a paste, it wasn't. :)
