[11:13:33] <leon-anavi> hi
[12:53:34] <dnegreira> leon-anavi: hey I had no chance yet to test your image :)
[13:00:06] <leon-anavi> :)
[13:00:15] <leon-anavi> take your time and give it a try when you can :)
[13:00:33] <leon-anavi> it is nothing special - just boots Ubuntu 18.04.2 to command-prompt.
[13:00:47] <leon-anavi> After that you are free to install anything you want :)
[13:12:33] <dnegreira> leon-anavi: yeah i'm gonna give KDE a spin as well to see how it behaves
[13:12:41] <dnegreira> so it is nice to start from the cli
[14:27:28] <leon-anavi> for kde I made a custom image that builds Ubuntu 18.04.2 with kde plasma desktop
[14:27:40] <leon-anavi> https://github.com/OLIMEX/DIY-LAPTOP/pull/38
[14:28:03] <leon-anavi> the caveat is that I haven't managed to turn on the hardware accelaration with mali...yet
[16:33:27] <Tsvetan> Antitrack even the single core old A13 can boot for less than 1 second :) depend on how many services you want to have up https://olimex.wordpress.com/2014/03/06/bootling-linux-on-a13-for-less-than-1-second/
[16:34:27] <Tsvetan> you can see from boot log which process what amount of time takes
[16:46:45] <Claude> Heh A13 , reminds me of my imx233 LCD hackery back then :) hi Tsvetan btw :)
[16:57:14] <Antitrack> ok
[17:01:03] <Antitrack> Tsvetan: if you can share a mini-linux-img file with a tiny distro that boots as fast as the one in that video, I'd be very happy.
[17:01:09] <Antitrack> Would save me tons of work :D
[17:01:32] <Antitrack> (For the A20 lime2 emmc rev k)
[17:05:57] <Tsvetan> Antitrack there is link to the build instructions for A13 in the blog post, unfortunately we have lot on our plate and we can't spend time to fulfill all requests our customer would have for their use cases. I bet there are plenty of Linux experts here in the IRC in this channel and #linux-sunxi and they would be able to help you on contract base
[17:08:20] <Antitrack> good, I'll ask them
[17:08:40] <Tsvetan> Claude hi
