[08:24] <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.
[08:29] <DanaG> And "mccaslin-lpia' and 'menlow-lpia' are not very descriptive, either.
[08:38] <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)
[08:40] <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.
[08:41] <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?
[08:42] <DanaG> Oh, and I'm on Hardy, but I could also try it from Gutsy in a VM if that'd make things better.
[08:43] <amitk> DanaG: Gutsy will definitely improve things, Hardy is still a bit raw and the compat version isn't even working.
[08:44] <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.
[08:45] <DanaG> Looking in the package manager on the host, the only result for '-lpia' is xen-hypervisor-lpia.
[08:46] <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.
[08:52] <amitk> DanaG: Exactly. Run image-creator inside your Gutsy or Hardy system - it should create the needed rootstrap for you
[08:54] <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.
[08:58] <DanaG> I'm glad Virtualbox has USB support -- that'll let me hand a 'pegasus'-based USB ethernet adapter to the guest.
[09:31] <dholbach> hey seb128 :)
[09:32] <dholbach> hey amitk :)
[09:32] <seb128> hello dholbach
[09:32] <amitk> dholbach: Hey Daniel, Happy new year
[09:32] <dholbach> to you guys too :)
[09:37] <DanaG> oh yeah, dholbach: are you the one who created the 'oransun' theme?   (sources.list line: deb http://daniel.holba.ch/art-builder/publish/ ./ )
[09:38] <dholbach> DanaG: no, I'm sorry - it was let me look it up
[09:39] <dholbach> Iacopo Masi
[09:39] <dholbach> iacopo-masi in Launchpad
[09:39] <DanaG> aah.  I see, the name confused me.
[09:40] <DanaG> Anyway, this Zen metacity theme works well with it:  http://jp.bizet.free.fr/themes/gnome.html
[10:26] <asac> raji: just open a bug and ping me about it ;)
[13:56] <asac> raji: i plan to do an update of nm-applet tomorrow or so btw.
[22:30] <inuka>  ping bryce,
[22:33] <bryce> yes?
[23:35] <lakrit1> hi, where can I find the source code for gnome-volume-applet? Is it the same as gnome-volume-manager?
[23:36] <lakrit1> sorry, wrong channel =)
