05:31.42 | ashes | i got my trimslice yesterday |
05:32.01 | ashes | it wouldn't use my monitors |
05:32.06 | ashes | 2 different monitors |
05:32.43 | ashes | i macgyvered a serial cable together |
05:33.14 | ashes | the kernel was complain about unsupported resolution, or mode |
05:33.24 | ashes | i have to find a way to log minicom |
05:33.34 | ashes | and exit minicom without killing it |
05:34.44 | ashes | anyway |
05:34.49 | ashes | it works |
05:34.52 | ashes | sortof |
05:35.21 | ashes | after seeing ext2 errors, from dirty shutdowns, i realized my sdcard ubuntu install image was mounted rw |
05:35.55 | ashes | so i'm re dding it now, so i can reboot it, set up network, and upgrade it |
05:36.06 | ashes | and maybe then my monitor will work |
05:36.19 | ashes | if not |
05:36.45 | ashes | it looks like the installer just copies the install image partition to the trimslice |
05:36.59 | ashes | changes passwords, makes partitions |
05:37.09 | ashes | nothing crazy like setting up the network for me |
05:37.38 | ashes | i might end up doing that manually |
05:37.56 | ashes | i can't use a typical ubuntu image because i need u-boot |
05:38.29 | ashes | i want to dual boot at some point |
05:38.46 | ashes | so i'll need to partition my 500gb drive |
05:38.57 | ashes | then! |
05:39.04 | ashes | i'm encouraged |
05:39.24 | ashes | both my brother-in-law and sister are fed up with their computers, with windows |
05:40.04 | ashes | they're tired of their systems running slower and slower with age, and other bullshit |
05:41.27 | ashes | my sister's laptop is 2.4ghz single core, using 35% cpu after boot, doing nothing.. only background apps |
05:41.48 | ashes | 30-47% |
05:42.58 | ashes | i hope to demonstrate linux to them with the thinslice |
05:43.06 | ashes | trimslice, even |
05:43.23 | ashes | my laptop is openbsd |
05:43.33 | ashes | they will mainly be looking at the desktop environment |
05:44.21 | ashes | my selling points will be performance and ease of maintence (with a distro)) |
05:44.34 | ashes | i'll encourage them to pay for official dvds |
05:45.45 | ashes | the downside is they will have to learn to use a new desktop environment |
05:46.39 | ashes | oh |
05:47.11 | ashes | often people also hate losing an old app, like kde3. in linux people maintain old stuff for a long time |
05:52.45 | ashes | ida know though |
05:53.12 | ashes | mm |
05:53.33 | ashes | i used ssh -X for the first time today, on my trim slice |
05:53.53 | ashes | it was interesting |
05:54.00 | ashes | i did it over ethernet |
05:55.04 | ashes | she's slow too |
05:55.14 | ashes | my ssh logins take time |
05:55.28 | ashes | it's not the most responsive system |
05:55.39 | ashes | i bought it to develop android |
05:56.04 | ashes | natively |
05:56.52 | ashes | native is in compiling for the host, not google's fucked up definition of native |
05:57.28 | ashes | google thinks native means C language, cross compiled |
05:57.45 | ashes | which, is not native |
05:59.27 | ashes | google is great for bringing linux into the real world, into the lives of the masses, with android, but they are also hiring people who sell themselves out |
