| javahorn | how to test an application in device agnostic manner , i mean to test it on firmware so that it can be established that it will run on all the family of mobile phones of one type ,of one vendor ? | 11:35 |
|---|---|---|
| eitreach | Howdy. I'm looking to use Ubuntu Mobile with my asus eee - where can I download the current version? | 15:31 |
| Random | how does one specify applets to be loaded at desktop startup? | 15:59 |
| eitreach | Random, how did you install and what did you install on? | 16:43 |
| Random | i did apt-get install ubuntu-mobile, on a more-or-less normal computer | 16:44 |
| Random | which, i realize its not quite supported | 16:44 |
| Random | however, im using this stuff for my carputer, which has a touchscreen | 16:44 |
| Random | so, the interface is ideal for usage with that | 16:45 |
| Random | just all the other hardware is pretty much a normal PC | 16:45 |
| eitreach | random I have very limited space on the eee.. Do you recall how big the install was? | 16:45 |
| Random | *shrugs* didn't pay attention... i have an 80gb hard drive, so i really haven't paid attention to the space constraints | 16:46 |
| eitreach | alright. Thanks anyhow. :) | 16:47 |
| Random | i *think* its one of the options you can select in one of the installers | 16:48 |
| Random | i've seen that their goal is <= 500MB | 16:48 |
| eitreach | I haven't been able to find an iso yet.. Just img-files, which I wouldn't know how to use, sadly. | 16:48 |
| Random | yeah, thats the maddening part... they're specifically targetting handheld phone devices, and not making it easy to use as just another ubuntu install | 16:49 |
| eitreach | with the umpc-market booming, I hope that'll change soon. | 16:49 |
| Random | theres a way discussed on the wiki i believe to install into a chroot environment | 16:50 |
| eitreach | hmm.. I could see that out. | 16:50 |
| Random | conceivably you could then tar that up and copy to your eee | 16:51 |
| eitreach | I'm just a regular desktop-user, heh.. It sounds amazingly complicated, sadly. | 16:52 |
| Random | yeah, its all still very alpha IMHO | 16:52 |
| eitreach | oh well.. s'pose I'll just use 7.10 on it. It works well anyhow.. just curious to see how it would work. It seems nice. | 16:53 |
| Random | screenshot: http://www.virtualroadside.com/blog/index.php/2008/04/05/ubuntu-mobile-screenshot-on-my-carputer/ | 16:54 |
| eitreach | sigh.. it looks so nice. Would work well on the small screen, I think. | 16:54 |
| Random | yes, sadly its not entirely functional :-p | 16:54 |
| eitreach | that's why I changed from the Xandros-distro shipped with the eee. :p | 16:55 |
| eitreach | wrecked my system too many times apt-getting ordinary things. | 16:55 |
| Random | yeah.. of the icons shown on my desktop there... the only ones that actually do anything is the Web Browser, Terminal, Control Panel, and Galculator | 16:56 |
| Random | lol | 16:56 |
| Random | the other ones silently die | 16:56 |
| Random | and i still cant figure out where the hell it decides which icons are displayed on the desktop | 16:56 |
| eitreach | bah.. wish there were more funds to fund the funding. | 16:56 |
| eitreach | wonder if Android will be available for installs on umpcs as well.. it could start a pleasant new trend. | 16:57 |
| Random | indeed | 16:57 |
| eitreach | not that I don't like regular Ubuntu.. I use it on my main desktop as well - I just like seeing new things. | 16:58 |
| Random | yeah... heres the chroot thing... it probably works in hardy too: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded/HildonDesktopManualProcedure | 16:58 |
| eitreach | I'll try that out should I randomly hop into a manic state of mind. Thanks. :) | 16:59 |
| ricky_ | hi everybody | 21:01 |
| ricky_ | a little question, anyone knows if this porting is possible on a Motorola a1000 ? | 21:02 |
| solo | i have a 7'' touchscreen and am interested in running ubuntu mobile | 21:46 |
