bicchiAre there any devices already that have mobile linux besides the nokia n800. I read Intel is coming with a chip but is there already a product in mind?04:44
bicchihe he, I guess i found what i was looking for: http://www.intel.com/products/mid/devices.htm 04:49
=== sabotage_afk is now known as sabotage
anticsbicchi: there are others too - the gp2x has a pretty big community05:18
bicchiantics: anything that i can put ubuntu at the moment. gnome based.05:19
anticsbicchi: oh, probably not the 2x yet.  UME is only targetting x86 now right?05:19
=== cprov [n=cprov@canonical/launchpad/cprov] has joined #ubuntu-mobile
bicchiso are there any machines i can install ubuntu?05:20
anticsbicchi: i'm very new to this project but from what i read any ol'laptop will do to start05:21
bicchiantics: yeah i have ubuntu on a laptop. i am looking into putting it into something more portable like the nokia n80005:22
anticsdoes the n800 have an x86 proc?  the 770 is a arm05:22
bicchiarm05:22
anticscan UME run on Geode systems?  There's the pepperpad and a handful of other touchscreen tablets like that 05:25
bicchii do not know what UME is? :(05:26
inzUbuntu Mobile Edition05:26
anticsubuntu mobile environment, sorry - saw it on the wiki05:26
anticsyeah edition, not env05:26
inzeh, environment05:26
inzwhatever05:26
bicchihehe. i am new here05:26
anticshaha, one of the two05:26
inzAhh, neither05:27
inzUbuntu Mobile and Embedded05:27
anticsmakes sense...05:27
bicchiis ubuntu planning or releasing an arm compiled kernel?05:28
anticsbicchi: afaik they are only targetting x86 platforms for now05:28
bicchiso does intel chips are all x86.05:29
anticsbut it sounds like support will eventually come for other arch05:29
bicchithese http://www.intel.com/products/mid/devices.htm05:29
bicchiare these all based on the x86 architecture.05:29
anticsyeah.  specifically a new chip that intel is coming out with that is a reworked pentium-m05:29
bicchiso my current  i386 kernel can run them ?05:30
bicchino need to recompile kernel and apps.05:30
anticsit should run on the new hardware05:30
bicchiborat says: niiiice05:30
anticsthe purpose of ume is to make the system more efficient in terms of battery power and speed05:30
anticsbut being x86 you should be able to install stock ubuntu (or any other distro)05:31
bicchiso its not going to run naemo05:31
anticsthe other catch is most of these systems are flash based 05:31
anticsso installation and filesystems are a bit trickier05:32
bicchiyou mean flash cards/ SD cards ?05:32
anticsinstead of a standard harddrive they use flash disks05:33
anticsgenerally soldered right to the mobo05:33
bicchiUME is not going to run maemo.org, so its going to default to gnome.05:33
anticsthat i don't know05:35
anticssounds right though05:35
anticsi only started looking at ume seriously this week so i know very little about the project05:35
anticsi do work with embedded linux though so I know some of the issues they are likely facing05:36
anticsbbl - i have to go rework some boards05:36
bicchiyou been helpful, thanks.05:36
anticsnp, glad to be useful :)05:36

bspenceragoliveira, hello08:28
agoliveirabspencer: Hi08:32
bspenceragoliveira, what design guide are you asking about?08:32
bspencerWe have a UI design guide08:32
bspencerI attached it to the spec describing such08:32
agoliveiraYes, the same.08:32
bspencerbut when I marked it as "complete" it disappeared :)08:32
agoliveiraOuch...08:33
bspencerbut I think it is still accessible, it just doesn't show up on the list08:33
agoliveirahave the URL?08:33
bspencerlooking08:33
agoliveiraFound08:35
agoliveirahttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded/UIStyleGuide08:35
agoliveiraIs this the one?08:35
agoliveiraHmmm... the pdf is much more complete.08:36
agoliveirabspencer: Can we consider the pdf final, at least for this initial phase?08:38
bspenceragoliveira, sorry, went to look, got distracted08:39
bspenceryes, that is the link08:39
bspencerthat pdf is a good "final" for our first effort I think08:39
bspencerbut also open to suggestions.08:39
agoliveiraCool.08:39
agoliveiraWhat about the media player?08:39
bspencerit is very much Bob's thinking, and hasn't had a lot of community input08:39
bspenceryes, let's chat about that08:39
bspencermedia player uses dbus interface to talk to either gstreamer or helix media engine08:40
bspencercurrently we have gstreamer working and helix planned soon08:40
bspencerwill import into Ubuntu in next week.08:40
agoliveiraOk but the idea is to use both, due to DRM, I presume?08:40
bspencer[Disclaimer: it isn't too fancy right now] 08:40
bspenceryeah.  I like gstreamer, simple and popular too08:41
agoliveiraAgree08:41
bspencerbut helix has been requested for DRM and to have an alternative08:41
agoliveiraFine so your player will provide some sort of plugin or Helix will be used verbatin?08:42
agoliveiraI mean helix plug-in verbatin08:42
bspencerthe media player will be one package08:44
bspencerthe gstremaer-dbus-service will be one package08:44
bspencerand helix-dbus-service another08:44
bspencerthen the helix engine can be unchanged (my understanding)08:44
bspencer"media player" looks like Ken Wimer's picture, somewhat.  It plays video, music, and shows photos08:45
bspencer...and needs a lot of work still08:45
agoliveiraGot it.08:45
agoliveiraI don't know if you can help with that one: we need more info about the utilities programs like power management so we can plan their integration.08:46
agoliveiraDo you have any toughts about it?08:46
bspencerlet me ping the guy who knows08:47
agoliveiraCool08:47
bspencerhe's not responding to my ping... maybe out of th eoffice.08:47
bspencerbrb08:48
agoliveiraOk08:48

bspencertshureih, agoliveira 09:57
bspenceragoliveira, tariq is working on our power management stuff09:58
tshureihagoliveria hello09:58
agoliveira tshureih: Hi!09:58
bspencertariq, adilson works for canonical in brazil.  09:58
tshureihcool09:58
tshureihnice to meet you agoliveira09:58
agoliveiraI believe we met already, didn't we?09:59
tshureihyou had some questions about Power Policy Manager?09:59
agoliveiraIf not, nice to meet you too :)09:59
tshureihI think so, in Sevilla?09:59
agoliveiraYes, hold on a second pelase09:59
agoliveiraYes, Sevilla09:59
tshureihthanks bspencer09:59
agoliveiraBasically we need urgently the details/specifications for utility programs, that includes power management, so that we  can plan integration.10:00
tshureihagoliveira: is the stuff up on blueprint not enough?10:01
agoliveiraCan you give me the URL?10:02
tshureihi have a one page write up as well that describes the desgin motivation, the design, and the current code functionality10:02
tshureihok hold on10:02
=== phanatic_ [n=phanatic@ubuntu/member/phanatic] has joined #ubuntu-mobile
tshureihit's on launchpad: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded/PowerPolicyManagement10:03
tshureihagoliveira: the current code is simpler than what the page describes of course but the design is the same10:04
tshureihbasically we have a series of policies which can be loaded at run time and layered on top of each other as a change occurs from one policy to another10:05
agoliveiraOk but I'm refering to the application that will manage that.10:05
tshureihthen two plugins (which are micro policy engines) which relay messages to the actualy subsystem or device10:05
tshureihoh sorry i misunderstoof10:05
agoliveiraDo you have it already? If not, when do you expect to deleuver it.10:05
agoliveiras/deleuver it/deliver it?10:06
tshureihwe only have a command line tool which lists available policies and sends messages over dbus to the PPM10:06
tshureihno GUI yet10:06
agoliveiraAny deadline?10:06
tshureihfor the GUI no, it's the least priority now because:10:06
tshureih1-we're thinking about enhancing Gnome Power Manager to understand policies10:07
tshureihor write our own, probably python based, GUI which would still be a DBUS service10:07
agoliveiraGot it. Is this command line tool include on the bunch of source code that will be (I hope!) released to us very soon (TM)?10:08
tshureihwould the command line tool be sufficient for now? i can prioratize the GUI if needed10:08
tshureihyes it's currently in our source tree10:08
agoliveiraActully our problem is that we need the application is a way we can pack and release and the user will want a gui.10:09
tshureihtrue10:09
agoliveiraOf course the command line helps.10:09
agoliveiraTo be sincere, we are a bit worried because time is running short.10:10
tshureihlet me talk to my fellow team mates and I'll answer you back on here in say two hours if we can have a GUI by then?10:10
agoliveiraWhatever you can do to speed it up, would be great. As a matter of fact, there is a whole bunch of applictions and utilities that Intel is to provide and we need a clear deadline on this because we have the whole problem of package, integrate, test, etc10:12
tshureihagoliveira: i totally understand, i'll get back to you in a bit10:12
agoliveiraI'll apreciate that.10:13
agoliveiraThanks a lot.10:13

Mithrandirtshureih: hiya11:30
Mithrandirtshureih: just saw the conversation above; we'd much prefer if you could extend gnome-power-manager (at least the backend) so we have one great policy manager rather than two good ones.11:31
tshureihMithrandir: like i said this is one option we're seriously considering11:31
tshureihit boils down to having enough hands to do it in the time frame11:32
Mithrandirof course; just trying to weigh in.11:34
Mithrandiralso, to what extent do you anticipate needing application patches?  Getting those in early would be good.11:34
tshureihMithrandir: I will have a clearer picture by Monday evening.  right now i have all hands busy to get the code in a presentable shape ;-)11:36
Mithrandirok. :-)11:36
Mithrandirare you too coming to the UK?11:36
tshureihinitially the GUI was the least of my worries, but I changed my mind now and I will factor it into the schedule and push things around to make a priority11:36
tshureihno11:36
tshureihi'm in the code crunch mode11:36
Mithrandirok11:36
tshureihRusty should be able to cover everything for me11:37
Mithrandirok, good.11:37
Mithrandirthe sprint is code crunch mode, though11:37
tshureihi know, but i also have a pregnant wife and we just moved into a new house :)11:40
Mithrandirah, congrats. :-)11:42
Mithrandiroh well, it's late now, so I'll go to bed.  Have a wedding to attend to tomorrow, and then I need to pack for London.11:44
