smagounWard1983: If you do make any progress, please let us know. Ubuntu Mobile on other platforms like ARM is a frequent query15:10
Ward1983smagoun, sure i will if things work out15:10
loolbfiller: pong15:11
bfillerlool: I built the hildon-desktop from bzr and tried it with the latest stuff from moblin. Seemed to have some problems. Was wondering if you have tested this at all..15:12

mfreyHappyCamp: ping19:03
HappyCampmfrey, 19:03
mfreyHappyCamp: have you had any luck getting the bootsplash to work on a menlow device?19:04
HappyCampI don't think I have tried that, rob_moblin may know more.19:04
HappyCampI am not quite sure what you mean by bootsplash mfrey ?19:05
mfreyI mean usplash19:05
mfreysorry19:05
mfreythe graphical boot progress19:05
robr_and that works19:05
robr_usplash works on a menlow19:05
mfreyI have never seen it work -- is there something special19:06
mfreyI have a crown beach19:06
robr_at least with the kernel we have on moblin.org, i haven't tried the ubuntu kernel in a while19:06
mfreyI am using the ubuntu kernel19:06
mfreyIs there something needed in the kernel for this to work19:06
HappyCampmfrey, for one thing, it will only work on an installed image.19:07
HappyCampWill not work on LiveUSB.19:07
robr_mfrey: i remember it was broken before and a bug was filed, i thought it was fixed...i'm having trouble remembering the root cause19:07
mfreyrobr_: I think it was the VESA fb driver was not enabled -- which it now is19:08
robr_HappyCamp is correct, it should only work when booting off the hard disk with the installed image, it's disabled in the usb live image19:08
mfreyI am using only an install image19:09
robr_sounds like it's broken then with the ubuntu kernel :-(19:09
mfreyAny suggestions where I might look -- I would like to fix it19:09
robr_usplash is called in the initramfs, i'd start there ...19:10
robr_if i remember correctly from the discussion (maybe amitk could rember better), usplash shouldn't be using the kernel FB driver, it should be using it's own libvga calls19:11
robr_i was under the impression that usplash's FB interface was broken 19:13
mfreyok -- so maybee the libvga stuff is missing19:14
amitkmfrey: I have a working usplash on my crownbeach19:14
mfreyamitk: Please tell me the magic19:15
amitkmfrey: Just installed the image created by image-creator19:16
mfreyamitk: me too and no usplash19:16
amitkmfrey: what kernel are you using?19:16
mfreyamitk: the ubuntu kernel not moblin19:16
amitkmfrey: I am updating my install now.. be back with the results19:20
mfreyamitk: thanks19:20

amitkHappyCamp: http://www.moblin.org/apt/pool/main/g/galculator/galculator_1.2.5.2-2moblin2_lpia.deb  404 Not Found19:55
HappyCampamitk, apt-get update?19:55
amitkHappyCamp: done it several times on the crownbeach... get the same error when trying to create a new target in image-creator19:56
HappyCampamitk, rustyl has been making changes to galculator like crazy this morning.19:56
agoliveiraHappyCamp: BTW, I did receive an email about galculator not being built on some internal intel machine. I wonder that's because my email is on the changelog?19:56
HappyCampagoliveira, yeah, we fixed that :)19:56
HappyCampamitk, current version is galculator_1.2.5.2-2moblin3_lpia.deb19:57
HappyCamphttp://www.moblin.org/build-results/projects/galculator/lpia/19:57
amitklets try again19:57
HappyCamphttp://www.moblin.org/apt/pool/main/g/galculator/19:57
agoliveiraHappyCamp: Cool. I just found that scary :)19:58
agoliveiraHmmm... geoclue actually works :)19:58
amitkHappyCamp: seems to be fixed now. I must've hit the repo at a unfortunate time19:59
ian_brasilagoliveira: cool, you are using geoclue...i think it rocks20:05
agoliveiraian_brasil: Just testing the bits I can for now. I wonder if I could make it work with a GPS module... I think I'm going to buy one.20:06
ian_brasilit relies on gpsd so i imagine so20:07
ian_brasili think remember somewhere reading that gps is going to be built into the chip on MID...you know more about this?20:09
* ian_brasil thinks this might have been a dream though20:16
agoliveiraian_brasil: I vaguely recall something of the sorts but also don't know for sure.20:17
ian_brasilit is working in software i think...it gets hard to remember whether you read something somewhere or just thought about it somewhere20:20
agoliveiraMaybe this one: http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/17/nokia-n810-gets-official/ :)20:23
agoliveira$479 ouch...20:24
ian_brasilthat must have been it then!20:30
* ian_brasil was worried he was smoking too much crack20:30
* agoliveira wonders if our Nokia friends can get one or two for a nice low price :)20:35
amitkagoliveira: I am guessing that some might be available in the developer program, but it is just a guess.20:41
Mithrandirooh, shiny.  I need to get somebody to get me one of those. :-)20:45
amitkMithrandir: why does the menlow image created by image-creator still contain linux-image-lpiacompat?20:46
HappyCampMithrandir, anybody else, is Nautilus the search in Gutsy?  In top Nautilus is taking up 20% of my processor time.20:46
smagounamitk: It's an fset bug; HappyCamp has a patch20:47
amitkcool20:47
Mithrandiramitk: I don't know, it shouldn't be.20:48
MithrandirHappyCamp: no idea, it doesn't for me20:48
HappyCamp:(  I am doing a big copy of files, and Nautilus is taking up all the processor time.  So I thought maybe it was the search feature.20:49
HappyCampThough I thought it was some kind of desktop manager or something.20:49
smagounNautilus is the file manager, isn't it? trackerd is the search-tool-from-hell20:49
HappyCampsmagoun, Mithrandir amitk I have committed the change the gets rid of linux-ume from menlow fset.20:51
* agoliveira thinks trackerd is evil20:51
HappyCampYou can get it via git at Moblin.org20:52
HappyCampagoliveira, +120:52
smagounHappyCamp: thanks much, that's a big help for us20:52
HappyCampsmagoun, hopefully I did it correctly :)20:53
amitkagoliveira: http://www.nseries.com/index.html#l=products,n810 if you want to see it in action20:53
smagounHappyCamp: that's all I did, and it WFM20:53
amitkmfrey: confirmed that usplash not working. It was working before because of the moblin kernel20:53
mfreyamitk: ok -- that is what I thought20:54
mfreyamitk: I looked at the kernel config and did not see anything obvious20:54
agoliveira"This device is not avaiable in your country"... let me see, a high tech device that I can't buy here in Brazil... tell me something new.20:55
smagounhey, it says the same thing for the USA20:55
smagounso you're in good company :)20:55
agoliveirasmagoun: In your case it's temporary as the device is not for sale yet (or not in stores at least).20:57
Ward1983is there some sort of handwriting recognition in ubuntu-mobile?20:59
MithrandirWard1983: not yet21:00
Ward1983Mithrandir, maybe cellwriter can be interesting then21:00
Ward1983Mithrandir, works great with my wacom tablet21:00
ian_brasilseems like its using a gecko based browser...no more opera !21:01
agoliveiraian_brasil: I was thiking about the same...21:02
=== cprov-out is now known as cprov
guardianWard1983: my company develops handwriting recognition technology21:02
amitkian_brasil: I can confirm that21:03
Ward1983guardian, nice, anything for linux?21:03
guardiansure21:03
Ward1983guardian, closed source, and not free i presume?21:03
guardianthe main problem is somehow the lack of a generalized host for input methods21:03
guardianyou presume well :(21:03
guardiani can't do much about this21:03
Ward1983guardian, i know i'm not blaming you21:03
guardianand about the plugin host, there is scim, uim, xim, hildon input method21:04
Mithrandirguardian: hildon input method should fix that bit, I presume?21:04
guardianwell not really at some point21:04
Mithrandirwell, so there's not just one, but an array of them21:04
agoliveiraamitk: I rather buy a device for a good price than get one in a developper's program. This way I don't feel obligated to develop software for it as my time is already short enough...21:04
guardianbecause hildon input method is a bridge to gtkim21:04
guardianso the application has to be gtk based, or wrapped by gtk21:04
guardianwhich is not the case for the moblin's browser for instance as far as i remember21:04
guardianbut i did not build an image for weeks21:04
amitktrue21:05
ian_brasilagoliveira: you are not obliged to develop software just make a donation to an open source foundation of your choice21:05
agoliveiraian_brasil: In that case, bring me one :)21:06
guardianWard1983: i'm frustrated because it's fucking working well :) i have so much ndas on the back21:06
ian_brasiland obviously make some noise about the program, the device etc21:06
Ward1983guardian, if your company sells it, then it better be good! lol21:06
guardianthis afternoon at work we talked about general chat about handwriting recognition technology on the internet and it came out it's ok to tell someone's working on it out there :D21:06
Ward1983working on?21:07
guardianwell the technology is ready and integrated in many places21:07
guardiannow it's just a matter of gui and writing a plugin to scim or xim or else21:08
guardianhildon has been done21:08
Ward1983guardian, i googled it, i did not know about hildon21:08
Ward1983guardian, looks good21:08
Ward1983great that its open now21:11
guardianthe hildon input method framework ?21:12
* agoliveira is going to pick up the dog at the vet and torture the neighbors AKA pratice saxophone.21:12
Ward1983guardian, yes21:12
guardianwell it's always good new stuff appears21:13
guardiani'm not sure it changes much things21:13
Ward1983guardian, still its nice21:14
guardiansure21:14
mfreyamitk: Mithrandir guys I noticed that the usplash deb is not installed by default -- could this be part of the problem?21:14
