05:31.42ashesi got my trimslice yesterday
05:32.01ashesit wouldn't use my monitors
05:32.06ashes2 different monitors
05:32.43ashesi macgyvered a serial cable together
05:33.14ashesthe kernel was complain about unsupported resolution, or mode
05:33.24ashesi have to find a way to log minicom
05:33.34ashesand exit minicom without killing it
05:34.44ashesanyway
05:34.49ashesit works
05:34.52ashessortof
05:35.21ashesafter seeing ext2 errors, from dirty shutdowns, i realized my sdcard ubuntu install image was mounted rw
05:35.55ashesso i'm re dding it now, so i can reboot it, set up network, and upgrade it
05:36.06ashesand maybe then my monitor will work
05:36.19ashesif not
05:36.45ashesit looks like the installer just copies the install image partition to the trimslice
05:36.59asheschanges passwords, makes partitions
05:37.09ashesnothing crazy like setting up the network for me
05:37.38ashesi might end up doing that manually
05:37.56ashesi can't use a typical ubuntu image because i need u-boot
05:38.29ashesi want to dual boot at some point
05:38.46ashesso i'll need to partition my 500gb drive
05:38.57ashesthen!
05:39.04ashesi'm encouraged
05:39.24ashesboth my brother-in-law and sister are fed up with their computers, with windows
05:40.04ashesthey're tired of their systems running slower and slower with age, and other bullshit
05:41.27ashesmy sister's laptop is 2.4ghz single core, using 35% cpu after boot, doing nothing.. only background apps
05:41.48ashes30-47%
05:42.58ashesi hope to demonstrate linux to them with the thinslice
05:43.06ashestrimslice, even
05:43.23ashesmy laptop is openbsd
05:43.33ashesthey will mainly be looking at the desktop environment
05:44.21ashesmy selling points will be performance and ease of maintence (with a distro))
05:44.34ashesi'll encourage them to pay for official dvds
05:45.45ashesthe downside is they will have to learn to use a new desktop environment
05:46.39ashesoh
05:47.11ashesoften people also hate losing an old app, like kde3. in linux people maintain old stuff for a long time
05:52.45ashesida know though
05:53.12ashesmm
05:53.33ashesi used ssh -X for the first time today, on my trim slice
05:53.53ashesit was interesting
05:54.00ashesi did it over ethernet
05:55.04ashesshe's slow too
05:55.14ashesmy ssh logins take time
05:55.28ashesit's not the most responsive system
05:55.39ashesi bought it to develop android
05:56.04ashesnatively
05:56.52ashesnative is in compiling for the host, not google's fucked up definition of native
05:57.28ashesgoogle thinks native means C language, cross compiled
05:57.45asheswhich, is not native
05:59.27ashesgoogle 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
