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