loolpersia: Wow, does mobile-basic-flash work for you?01:59
loolpersia: It's broken for most of us with xul 1.902:00

persialool: It would be more accurate to say that I did not find any degradation with the updated mobile-basic-flash, and that the changes seemed reasonable (and helpful) from a textual review.12:54
theseinfeldAnybody knows why the ume-xephyr-start was removed from the ume-config-common package?13:04
theseinfeldlool any idea why the ume-config-common doesn't include the ume-xephyr-start?13:07
phreekbird|workso i just started reading about ume ... looks great, i am very impressed13:09
phreekbird|workjust wanted to show my appreciation and let everyone know that its a great looking product ... keep up the good work!13:10
theseinfeldanybody here from the ubuntu-mobile team? davidm?13:14
theseinfeldso after doing the apt-get full-upgrade the ume-xephyr-start is gone13:15
theseinfeldi check the old backup to see that it was in the ume-config-common package and now that package doesn't have it13:15
theseinfeldif i start manually the xephyr and the hildon-desktop, boing13:15
theseinfeldcore dump13:15
theseinfeldgreat success13:15
theseinfeldanybody knows what is going on?13:16
theseinfeldagoliveira, any idea?13:18
* theseinfeld is sleeping...*snorrr* *snorrrrrr*13:20
agoliveiratheseinfeld: Sorry, no idea.13:21
theseinfeldagoliveira, but you acknowledge that it is gone :) 13:21
theseinfeldI am not crazy :)13:22
theseinfeldright :)13:22
agoliveiratheseinfeld: I don't know. I'm working on an unrelated urgent work since yesterday evening and didn't run UME since.13:22
agoliveiraLet me turn on my Q113:22
theseinfeldhardy in 1 day13:22
agoliveiraGah, sorry13:23
agoliveiratheseinfeld: I'm updating an image. Let's see what happens.13:24
theseinfeldfull-upgrade13:24
theseinfeldagoliveira let me know13:29
agoliveiratheseinfeld: You're right, ume-xephyr-start was removed.13:31
* theseinfeld is not crazy then...13:31
theseinfeldagoliveira, do you know why?13:31
theseinfeld:D13:31
theseinfeldor what is subsituting it?13:31
agoliveiratheseinfeld: No idea, sorry. Looks more like an error.13:32
theseinfeldok13:32
theseinfeldI will check with the uploader13:32
theseinfeldmaintainer13:32
theseinfeldthanks13:32
theseinfeldthen i fill a bug report :)13:32
agoliveiraGreat13:32
looltheseinfeld: Hey, I'm afraid we were sleeping in our timezone when you popped the issue14:18
loolI think inuka might have broken it with the latest ume-config-common upload14:18
loolI'll check with him14:18
theseinfeldlool thanks14:19
theseinfeldlool just to let you know :)14:19
theseinfeldlool actually I am quite active in ume14:19
theseinfeldlool i also applied for membership14:20
theseinfeldlool but you denied it :)14:20
* theseinfeld sulks in the corner...14:20
persiaWhich is broken again?  I'm also seeing strange startup behaviour, but it may be different.14:21
theseinfeldume-config-commong14:22
theseinfeldat least14:22
theseinfeldpersia ...14:22
theseinfeldmoreover there is that xf86-video-psb14:23
theseinfeldin the fsets14:23
theseinfeldthat is named differently in ubuntu14:23
theseinfeldthank you moblin :)14:23
theseinfeldso this is more like a MIC issue14:23
theseinfeld:D14:23
persiaAh yes.  The latest ume-config-common doesn't actually install the scripts.  Looks like a typo.  Testing a fix now...14:30
theseinfeldgood14:34
* theseinfeld likes persia...14:34
persiatheseinfeld: I should be thanking you.  I've been hunting for the last hour as to why my device has no window manager on boot.  The pointer is very much appreciated.14:35
theseinfeldpersia, thanks14:35
theseinfeldi've been swearing here as well :)14:36
theseinfeldpersia have to go now14:39
theseinfeldpersia but I will be back tomorrow...14:39
theseinfeldcheers14:39
loolpersia: Oh you're looking into ume-config-common?  thanks!14:50
loolpersia: Can you let inuka know if you fix it?14:51
persialool: Just fixed.  About to push to PPA.  Should I notify by email?14:51
loolpersia: inuka?  Yeah email is good enough14:53
loolOr file a bug and assign to him14:53
loolBut I told him to debdiff his .debs before upload, grah14:53
persiaThe upstream tarball is actually infected by the issue as well: everything is currently duplicated.  I'll catch inuka by mail to cover details.14:54
loolduplicated?14:55
persia$(DESTDIR) was missing /debian/, so the build put the target in $(CURDIR).  It looks like there was a test-run of the Makefile before tar creation, so the "build" results are in the tarball.14:56
persiaAnyway, fixed version in the PPA: updated images should boot to hildon, rather than to default X (or at least it does so on my device).14:57
loolpersia: THanks15:05
agoliveirapersia: I would catch inuka by the throat instead of by email! :)15:08
* persia is on the wrong side of the world for that :)15:08
agoliveirapersia: Yeah but one can dream, right? :)15:09
Xiliathso anybody been able to boot ume yet?17:22
agoliveiraXiliath: UME boots and runs, what's your problem?17:23
Xiliathwell i downloaded it, made install on usb flash disc using moblin image creator, but i couldn't do any thing17:25
Xiliathso i downloaded the newest release version, of 8.04 UME and i kept getting an error for my broadcom chip saying the firmware wasn't installed17:25
Xiliathso i fixed that problem, but with the new version it finishes loading, and says Ubutnu UME tty117:26
XiliathLogin:17:26
Xiliathand the screen just flashes17:26
Xiliathi tried using xypher but all i get is a gray screen when i launch it, and i can't load UME from there17:29
Xiliathi tried live and live rw boots on flash discs17:30
persiaXiliath: Gray screen?  Are you using the PPA repository?  You might need to wait for a new ume-config-common to build.17:30
Xiliathyou done a boot from flash?17:31
=== robr_ is now known as robr
Xiliat1maybe i'll have better luck after they release 8.04 and officially realease UME17:36
loolXiliat1: What hardware are you running on?17:38
loolXiliat1: The builds we publish are aimed at specific hardware; it needs a lot of tweaking to run on other hardware17:38
agoliveiraXiliat1, Xiliath: and in case you didn't, I suggest you read the FAQ here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded/FAQ17:42
Xiliat1yeah i know17:44
Xiliat1i tweaked the target rootfs so that my hardware would be better supported, i installed the 8.04 beta just so i could easily combine parts of my install with the target rootfs to make it all easier17:46
Xiliat1i've read all the faqs and the wiki many times17:47
Xiliat1i was amazed to find out a month or so ago about UME and have dove into working on it17:48
Xiliat1agoliveira, you a developer for ubuntu mobile?17:58
agoliveiraXiliat1: Yes, I am.17:59
Xiliat1is there a plan to port UME to ARM?17:59
Xiliat1i know that 6.04 has been and 7.04 is being ported by a 3rd party18:00
agoliveiraXiliat1: There's the idea, but nothing planned. Nokia already ported a form of Ubuntu to ARM so you may want to take a look.18:00
agoliveiraXiliat1: It's not hard to port UME to ARM, we just don't have the manpower to do it right now.18:01
Xiliat1yeah, i read about them doing it, for the N770 and 80018:04
prpplagueif someone is interested in port ume to arm, tincantools would be happy to donate either a hammer kit or nail board18:04
Xiliat1what was the software nokia said they used to port most of ubuntu over to arm?18:05
prpplaguedavidm already has a nail board, but i'm not sure what he's planning to do with it18:06
agoliveiraprpplague: This is something I want to do as a personal pet project, just don't have the time to do it now.18:06
prpplagueagoliveira: we've alotted a few boards for porting projects so if someone is serious about doing the work we can donate a board18:09
loolprpplague: It looks a bit slow from my reading18:09
agoliveiraprpplague: I would love to get one but unfortunately, right now, I can't promisse anything.18:10
lool200 MHz is just plain slower than stuff you can find on the market; like Thecus18:10
lool32 MB of SDRAM, we're not getting anywhere with that either  :-/18:10
* agoliveira didn't look at the hardware18:10
prpplaguelool: probably compared to what most x86 folks think of clock cycles, yea, but performance wise it fits for most projects18:10
prpplaguelool: i'm not familiar with Thecus, got a url?18:11
loolprpplague: We're just super far away from that envelope18:11
agoliveiralool: a 200Mh ARM will do I suppose. The RAM is indeed low.18:11
loolAnd to build something like Ubuntu, you got to plan some >= 512 MB RAM18:11
loolagoliveira: It "will do", you would need 50 of them though18:11
loolAh I'm exagerrating, at least 20 I'd say18:12
prpplaguelool / agoliveira  yea its a different realm, "ram is indeed low", most of our customers are amazed at the size of the ram, hehe18:12
agoliveiralool: Don't be pushy :)18:12
loolprpplague: Sure http://www.cyrius.com/debian/iop/n2100/index.html18:12
* prpplague looks18:12
loolYou can replace the RAM up to 512 MB RAM18:13
loolBut that's probably too low for some corner packages18:13
* agoliveira will now will retreat from the fun and return to those damn licenses18:13
prpplagueinteresting18:13
prpplaguedifferent ballpark indeed18:13
loolIt's closer to a real distribution than to an embedded one18:14
prpplagues/real/desktop18:14
loolIf you like18:14
prpplaguelool: so for you, something around 600MHz with 256MB sdram and 128MB flash would be more attractive?18:16
prpplaguelool: and i assume you'd be doing more software dev than hardware dev18:16
loolprpplague: flash would still be a bit low to run UME; it's clearly not enough to build Ubuntu for ARM though18:16
prpplaguelool:  we thats just base flash, you can always add with things like sd cards18:17
loolprpplague: The current vague goals are 192 MB RAM, 500 MB storage18:18
prpplaguepretty hefty18:18
loolprpplague: Depends on the usage; to actually build the distro, we need quite a lot of space, to run UME we would need some hundreds MB18:18
loolprpplague: That's just the base goal, but then some spins have higher constraints18:18
loolFor storage18:18
loolWell stronger constraints I mean18:19
loolLike 200 MB18:19
loolBut you can't really reduce the RAM consumption right now when you want user apps to be able to eat some RAM18:19
Xiliat1200mb is big for an embedded device18:19
prpplagueindeed18:19
loolWell it's an embedded device where you run Firefox18:19
loolOr rather midbrowser in our case18:19
loolAnd you still have to allow people to run $custom_app which eats some RAM18:20
Xiliat1i had the mid browser working on ubuntu 7.10, i actually liked the look and feel better than firefox 318:20
loolThe main targets for UME are MIDs, not phones etc.18:20
Xiliat1yeah i know though some of the mids do have phone capabilities18:20
loolSure, what I mean is that the hardware expectations are not the one of typical phones18:21
Xiliat1i can't seem to get mid browser to run on 8.0418:21
lool(Where you typically find some MB of RAM, some MB of flash)18:21
Xiliat1yeah18:21
loolThat said I find the tincantools hardware cute18:22
loolIt's probably not suited for running UME in its current form or building Ubuntu for ARM, but it's nice hardware nevertheless18:23
prpplaguelool: thanks we have a whole line in waiting to be released, including 400 and 600 mhz devices18:23
Xiliat1is that those in the list of devices in development, or a whole new set of devices for us to drool over?18:25
prpplagueXiliat1: whole new set18:25
prpplagueXiliat1: most of them are actually complete, just waiting to go into production18:26
Xiliat1god, that makes me want to badger you with 50 questions, lol18:27
prpplagueXiliat1: you are welcome to join #edev and ask, there are a number of tincantools product users there18:27
Xiliat1yeah, but most my questions would be like, what, when, how much, ect...18:31
prpplaguehehe, well most of them are on hold untill we see how much demand there is for these types of products18:33
Xiliat1well, you need to generate demand18:33
prpplagueXiliat1: yea, seeing how much there is starting with the hammer18:34
prpplagueXiliat1: http://movial.elinux.org/JackHammer_Board , http://movial.elinux.org/SledgeHammer_Board18:35
prpplagueXiliat1: 600Mhz and 400Mhz respectively18:35
Xiliat1though these are samsung processors though no?18:36
prpplagueyea18:36
Xiliat1ok, i'm confused then, UME is not compiled for ARM though...18:37
prpplagueXiliat1:as i understand it right now, that is correct18:37
Xiliat1so are you talking about running UME on these boards?18:39
prpplaguewe hope so in the future18:39
prpplagueXiliat1: right now for GUI based stuff we are using familiar and angstrom distros18:41
prpplagueXiliat1: but the gentoo guys are also working on it too18:41
