| DanaG | The FAQ really doesn't cover how to go about installing Ubuntu-Mobile in a VM, which is i386 architecture. The lpia kernel lacks the pcnet driver that Virtualbox emulates. | 08:24 |
|---|---|---|
| DanaG | And "mccaslin-lpia' and 'menlow-lpia' are not very descriptive, either. | 08:29 |
| DanaG | Or rather, they may be very descriptive if you look up those terms, but they're not self-defining. | 08:38 |
| amitk | DanaG: For x86 compatibility, you want to use the mccaslin kernels (I assume you are trying the moblin ones) | 08:38 |
| DanaG | Well, I'm not sure where to start. | 08:40 |
| DanaG | I installed a base ubuntu console system in Virtualbox, and installed the ubuntu-mobile metapackage, but it seems that's not a correct way of doing it. | 08:40 |
| DanaG | But while I was at it, I tried the -ume kernel, and I noticed that it lacks the pcnet32 module needed for the VM's ethernet adapter. | 08:41 |
| DanaG | Is there a specific list somewhere, describing the difference between the -ume and the -generic kernels? | 08:41 |
| DanaG | Oh, and I'm on Hardy, but I could also try it from Gutsy in a VM if that'd make things better. | 08:42 |
| amitk | DanaG: Gutsy will definitely improve things, Hardy is still a bit raw and the compat version isn't even working. | 08:43 |
| amitk | DanaG: In Ubuntu, you will find 'lpia' and 'lpiacompat' flavours of the kernel. I guess you know which one to try. | 08:44 |
| amitk | I am not sure about the pcnet32 though.. let me check. | 08:44 |
| DanaG | Looking in the package manager on the host, the only result for '-lpia' is xen-hypervisor-lpia. | 08:45 |
| DanaG | If possible, I'd like to run the bootstrap without having to do a full Ubuntu install in a VM.... but oh yeah, I already have the base there. I guess I can start the image builder in that system. | 08:46 |
| amitk | DanaG: Exactly. Run image-creator inside your Gutsy or Hardy system - it should create the needed rootstrap for you | 08:52 |
| DanaG | Aah, I'll have to do that tomorrow when I'm on campus -- 3 megabits at home doesn't cut it, but even WiFi at school (if the servers are fast enough) will work well. | 08:54 |
| DanaG | I'm glad Virtualbox has USB support -- that'll let me hand a 'pegasus'-based USB ethernet adapter to the guest. | 08:58 |
| dholbach | hey seb128 :) | 09:31 |
| dholbach | hey amitk :) | 09:32 |
| seb128 | hello dholbach | 09:32 |
| amitk | dholbach: Hey Daniel, Happy new year | 09:32 |
| dholbach | to you guys too :) | 09:32 |
| DanaG | oh yeah, dholbach: are you the one who created the 'oransun' theme? (sources.list line: deb http://daniel.holba.ch/art-builder/publish/ ./ ) | 09:37 |
| dholbach | DanaG: no, I'm sorry - it was let me look it up | 09:38 |
| dholbach | Iacopo Masi | 09:39 |
| dholbach | iacopo-masi in Launchpad | 09:39 |
| DanaG | aah. I see, the name confused me. | 09:39 |
| DanaG | Anyway, this Zen metacity theme works well with it: http://jp.bizet.free.fr/themes/gnome.html | 09:40 |
| asac | raji: just open a bug and ping me about it ;) | 10:26 |
| asac | raji: i plan to do an update of nm-applet tomorrow or so btw. | 13:56 |

| bryce | yes? | 22:33 |
| lakrit1 | hi, where can I find the source code for gnome-volume-applet? Is it the same as gnome-volume-manager? | 23:35 |
| lakrit1 | sorry, wrong channel =) | 23:36 |
