hello

today BH team released its first e2 image which include newest kernel
waiting for pli dudes

best regards

[DrData]

me too

[metoo]

Yes, what do you want from me?

[andyblac]

it is in progress, i have got it working in ViX and i will pass on stuff to PLi as soon as it finalised.

[kaneguru]

VTI 4.0 works also with new kernel

[hemertje]

just be patient!

[mar-an]

will be have new kernel autoinstall driver dvb-t usb function, like blackHole?

[linuxgeek]

out of interest what function will the new kernel provide that we don't have now ?

only ask as having spent years in IT the latest is not always the greatest unless it fixes a fault you are suffering from and then all it seems to do is add another new fault

[neku]

The new kernel handles the ubifs filesystem which leads to a way better booting performance.

[neku]

Can anybody say when you will switch to the new kernel?

[littlesat]

We're waiting on VU... as far I understand they will deliver us the required patches...

[Pale-Rider]

just for information and to expand on andyblac's post above.
all vix images have today been released for the Vu series with fully working linux 3.1.1 kernel integrated, including the ultimo.

[littlesat]

That is nice that ViX did do that... but when we get the patches from VU (with delay) the chance is very big that we have to do double work (and even ViX needs to do that too...)!!! Even we must be patient.

also the way i have my vu lunix 3.1.1 any patch that add to the ETxx00 linux can be added to the vu linux , and is a lot cleaner than the vu way. but it is your choice.

Last thing I heard from VU is that they were working on OpenPLi patches, and expected them to be delivered, well, eh, last week.

Another thing is that I don't want to make the VU engineers too lazy. If we just go ahead and do the work ourselves, the implied message to VU is basically that "if you don't do it, don't worry, we'll just do it for you". I don't want to go that way, as long as they promise to maintain that software themselves, I want to keep them to it.

(Which is hurting me too, as the ultimo is just collecting dust here as long as I don't have an OpenPLi based image for it)

[neku]

I don't understand why they should make OpenPLi patches, because they have their own image?

[Pedro_Newbie]

vu has every interest in seeing as many images available as possible for their hardware, if there was only the original image the sales would probably much lower

give ViX a quick spin for the time being

What do you mean with giving them a quick spin?

Of course they do, but that would normally not imply making or correcting hobby images themselves, would it?

As an alternative to collecting dust you mean
