teletommyhi10:03
davmor2hello10:04
teletommyi read about ubuntu mobile and wonder how to install it the right way10:05
teletommywhere can i find informations about it? 10:05
teletommythe wiki doesn't say much about :-(10:05
bpsewmaybe here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded/DevelopmentEnvironment10:06
davmor2teletommy: do you have a device or do you run in vm?10:06
teletommynot now. i will have a car pc10:06
teletommybut my first try will be in a vm10:06
davmor2teletommy: try the mic instructions here then https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cases/UMEinstall10:08
teletommythank you for your help!10:09
teletommywhat stand UME for?10:09
davmor2Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded 10:10
teletommyah :-)10:10
teletommydo you think it is a good choice for a carpc?10:12
StevenKdavmor2: Where were you after?10:12
davmor2StevenK: In Office Document Viewer do you get the search window hang.  http://www.davmor2.blueyonder.co.uk/odrerror.png10:14
davmor2sorry http://www.davmor2.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/odrerror.png10:15
StevenKdavmor2: Not when I ran it on my Menlow earlier10:15
davmor2StevenK: this might be a xephyr thing that's why I thought I would check.10:16
davmor2StevenK: also in the root there is a dir called Mydocs but when I downloaded my cv.doc (to test ODR) it dl into root/Documents is this normal?  Why is Mydocs not used?10:20
StevenKdavmor2: Um, no idea about that, sorry10:21
davmor2I'll bug that then I'll check the settings in the browser dl manager setting too :)10:21
teletommydavmor2: is it possible to do this usb-pen installation and boot with a normal x86?10:45
davmor2Pass.  I have no device to try this on.  UME is really meant for specific devices at this stage in the game though.10:46
teletommydavmor2: which are this specific devices?10:49
davmor2Samsung Q1U and the menlow platform being created by Intel10:50
teletommyoh ok. And you think it might not run on a normal x86?10:52
davmor2StevenK: ^10:59

loolpersia: Around?13:57
persialool: Mostly13:58
loolpersia: email14:04
loolpersia: We're in the last run before release, and we do miss some bits, so I'm flagging this as URGENT14:04
persialool: Right.  I'll upload tonight then.14:05
loolpersia: Ok; if anything gets in the way, please instruct me how to finish :)14:06
persialool: It's basically just a backport of the branch being merged.  Probably fastest for me just to do it, rather than explain it.14:06
loolOk14:06
loolCould you also seed it?14:07
loolStevenK: Which seed are we using now?  Did you move back to the main hardy seed?14:07
persialool: Right.  I knew I forgot something.  Which seed?14:07
loolStevenK: I think cjwatson was ok with it, did you discuss this with him?14:07
StevenKlool: We didn't.14:08
loolpersia: We used to change the mobile seed in the main bzr branch, ubuntu.hardy in ~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds, but StevenK branched to ~ubuntu-mobile/ubuntu-seeds/mobile.hardy as there was "treb" in the seed which doesn't exist in hardy, but cjwatson said it was fine14:08
persiaOK.  So update-manager-hildon belongs in ~ubuntu-mobile/ubuntu-seeds/mobile.hardy ?14:09
loolStevenK: Can we change that now?14:09
loolpersia: I think that's what in use right now14:09
StevenKlool: To the main hardy seed? I'd rather leave it using that one14:09
* persia can't update ~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds, although this oughtn't be a blocker for merge, if merge is otherwise good14:09
loolStevenK: Why?14:09
bpsewhello14:09
bpsewwhat are the benefits of ubuntu mobile over google's android? why should i use ume?14:10
persiabpsew: Different targets.  Also, Ubuntu Mobile isn't really available enough to have much marketing material at this point: you'll do better to review the code.14:11
bpsewi've played with both of them, but i still can't decide, which one fits better14:12
StevenKlool: Because Colin and I spoke about it, and he was happy with my reasoning14:12
loolStevenK: Which is?14:12
StevenKlool: I didn't want to clutter up the main Hardy seed with stuff that isn't in the archive14:13
loolWhen I asked the same, he said it was ok14:13
loolSince we have stuff in universe listed there anyway14:13
persiaAs an aside, if we move towards a more differentiated archive, it will be useful to have separate seeds.14:13
StevenKColin said he was fine with my reasoning, and to be honest, I'd rather not change it this late.14:14
StevenKpersia: Did you fix that gksu keyboard thing?14:14
persiaStevenK: Only conceptually.  I have the key, but I need to insert the autolauncher call.14:15
persiaAre we supporting any devices that don't have keyboards right now?14:15
loolStevenK: Ok; let us leave it like that then14:17
loolUrgh, virtual keyboard doesn't work for me14:32
loolcgregan: Do you have a test case for the virtual keyboard?  Could you try to run it?14:32
cgreganlool: sure14:34
cgreganlool: Virt Keyboard works on mccaslin 2008052714:37
loolcgregan: In which app do you test it?14:37
cgreganbrowser14:38
loolcgregan: Ah, I'm just stupid; it steals focus when lanching, that was the issue lalala14:41
cgreganlool: :-)14:41
GrueMasterStevenK:  Ping - Any eta on RC1?16:22
davidmGrueMaster, it's in progress but until license issue handled we can't give it to you.16:25
davidmDon has to get license issue resolved before we can even provide private build. :-(16:26
GrueMasterok.  Probably a license that we already own.  Gotta love proprietary crap.16:26
GrueMasterready to go otherwise, though?16:26
davidmGrueMaster, gettting close, it's building now.16:27

cl0swhen i install ubuntu mobile and embedded using xephyr.. is it supposed to look like the screenshots on the site?19:00
cl0slol my desktop looks nothing like it and the top bar is buttons some with no text, etc..19:00
persiacl0s: Which screenshot are you using for comparison?19:12
cl0shttp://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile19:16
cl0sgrid layout im guessing?19:17
cl0sthe desktop is similiar, as far as how its listed, def not as many programs.19:17
persiacl0s: It ought look something like the topmost screenshot by default.19:17
cl0sbut at the top i dont get the home button, i get the date and time and a blank button all the way on the right..19:18
cl0sinstead of the toolbar*19:18
cl0sand its like regular gtk gray not that black with a gradient.. i followed the hildon desktop instructions for xephyr..19:18
persiacl0s: Hmmm...  That doesn't match my experience, but I haven't tried with Xephyr in some time.19:19
cl0soh.. how do you have it setup??19:19
persiacl0s: I run it on a SR8, but I've heard it works well in KVM for those with the right hardware (after tweaking the X drivers).19:20
cl0sthis is for a regular x86, is there a way i can run it in like virtualbox?19:20
cl0soo19:20
cl0swhats SR8?19:21
persiacl0s: I've not heard of anyone trying with virtualbox, but it might well work.  Just be aware that you may need to manually install an X driver, that touchscreens aren't quite like mice, and that the DPI will be too low.19:21
cl0ssorry im planning on building a mini-itx system for my car, and i was looking at ubuntu-mobile to see if itd be a good start to build a few apps for..19:21
persiacl0s: There are a couple other people using Ubuntu Mobile for car-mounted devices, although it will need a fair bit of customisation.19:22
persiaThe SR8 is http://www.kohjinsha.com.sg/products/sr.htm (roughly).19:23
cl0sahh.. nice19:23
cl0syea i'm willing to do some customization, i can do the higher level programming but as far as setting up the os for different systems don't really know where to start if its not a debian type of install, lol19:25
cl0si got the basics setup though its probably just i dont have a theme or something, ill try some more when i get home19:26
persiacl0s: It is a debian-type install.  The standard package management tools work just fine.  You can do the customisation from a VT.19:26
cl0ssounds good. ill keep messing with it..19:28
persiacl0s: Good luck.  While the primary goal really isn't Car PCs, please let us know if you find something that might also be useful in a handheld during your investigations.19:29
cl0syea whatever I come up with I plan on posting in launchpad, ill be hanging around here while I work on it19:32
cl0sthanks persia19:32
persiaRight.  On update-manager-hildon, backporting means pulling just about all the changes, except the comments & some of the dropped Dapper upgrade workarounds.22:11
persiaIs there an expected use-case to upgrade to hardy using upgrade-manager within Ubuntu-Mobile?22:11
=== aTOmicDuDe is now known as ToddBrandt
* persia assumes that any Gutsy Ubuntu-Mobile users will reflash, and uploads the draft intrepid (and more heavily tested) update-manager-hildon to the PPA.23:02
persiaupdate-manager-hildon uploaded and seeded.  Please test.  I'm especially interested if anything breaks due to a misperceived need to dist-upgrade (it oughtn't)23:27
cl0s-homei have ubuntu-mobile installed on xephire per the instructions in the wiki but it seems like the theme is missing...23:48
cl0s-homecan i just apt-get that or something?23:48
