Where the usb port, we gotta start debugging. We only got 14 more hours to install a desktop. Then rice it and post it on unix porn

Sorry the flight has been over for a few hours. But if you send me some code I can try on my way back. 😆

This chair isn't multicore enough for you?

[-] JoMomma@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

My sons playschool chair has more processing capabilities

By the time a piece of hardware is aviation certified, it is ancient.

[-] JoMomma@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

Well, yeah, but that there CPU was from 1999

Modern plains use android, btw.

It only crashes about two times during flight 😂👌🏻

[-] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago

Lucky that the plane I am on predates Android by 11 years

[-] 0x2d@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

Let me tell you that Linux-based IFE may be based on open source, but it sure as shit ain’t free.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 months ago

and its free, free software🎶

Side note: free doesn't refer to cost

It's probably good old 2.6.32. Still deployed in heaps of places even though it's getting close to 15 years old and has been EOL since 2016 for official support and 2020 for RHEL6 (and probably CentOS6 too)

[-] azertyfun@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

Not if the kernel was built around the time of that geodeoss module from 2004.

It might have been 2.4 or maaybe 2.6 if they were on the bleeding edge (I somehow doubt it), but 2.6.32 came out five years later and I can't believe they would have recertified a new kernel for the fun of it.

[-] dan@upvote.au 2 points 8 months ago

I've never heard of that module but is it possible they're using an older module with a newer Linux version?

Or it could be 2.4 like you said!

[-] SteveTech@programming.dev 10 points 9 months ago

Actually thinking about this, I believe Tux would only show on kernels newer than 2.6.20, released in 2007, or at least CONFIG_LOGO was. So it seems that kernel is a lot newer than those modules it's loading.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

I think V4L was kernel 2.3 or something like that anyway.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 months ago

The image I probably pretty old

[-] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Nope just minutes old. Took it in flight when they had to reboot the seats.

[-] ToxicWaste@lemm.ee 10 points 8 months ago

linux is for sure the superior choice. still can't understand why many public transport companies buy windows licenses to display simple departure times. some of them even seem to run separate machines for panels always displaying the same info...

[-] SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

The Dutch railroads seem to run near all displays on Linux.

But then as soon as a city wants to add something to the station, there's a windows lockscreen every other month.

Blessed flight.
