cshadowrunogra you still about?00:41
cshadowruni got that virtualbox image up00:41
cshadowrunand it starts, but no GUI00:41
cshadowruncomplains about alot of modprobe stuff00:41
cshadowrunand then gives me a login.00:41
ograhmm00:42
cshadowrunwhats the normal way of testing it? i could try doing it the normal way on my laptop00:43
cshadowrunthat would be a workaround :P00:43
cshadowrunapparently my processor doesn't support hardware virtualisation, so there goes that idea00:45
ograyou can just use qemu00:46
ograbut it will be very slow00:46
cshadowrunthats ok i guess00:46
ograkvm is just extending qemu with the CPU extensions00:46
cshadowrunif i can do it without KVM i can try it on my mainpc00:47
cshadowrunit's a c2q 2.4ghz with 4gb ram so that might speed things up :p00:47
cshadowrunso how do i run it in qemu?00:47
cshadowruni have the qcow2 and ubuntu.kvm00:47
ograi think the ubuntu kvm is a script that executes qemu with the right options00:49
ogralook into it00:49
cshadowrunhmm00:49
cshadowrunit runs kvm, not qemu00:50
cshadowrunkvm -soundhw all -m 256 -hda root.qcow2 "$@"00:50
cshadowruni tried running it with qemu root.qcow200:52
cshadowrungot the same set of errors as i did with virtualbox00:53
cshadowrunbut this time i got a "blank" x session00:53
cshadowrun(The cursor is a black X, and the background is that grey crosshair type thing)00:53
cshadowrunoh wait nice there it is!00:53
cshadowrunlol you really meant it'd be slow :P01:04
cshadowruni tried neverball and got like 0.1FPS, lol01:05
ograheh01:06
=== cshadowrun is now known as CShadowRun
ograyeah that needs HW support01:06
CShadowRunhehe01:11
persiaCShadowRun: You might want to look the kqemu-source package: it contains a kernel module that significantly increases qemu speed (although it's still slower than KVM).  I used it on one of my machines that didn't have kvm support with good results.06:03
CShadowRunsounds intresting06:06
CShadowRuninstalling it :)06:07
persiaCShadowRun: Note that you'll need to compile it locally: the precompiled modules aren't available.  I use module-assistant for that, but you may find you prefer a different method.06:07
CShadowRunoh06:07
CShadowRunhow would i compile it?06:08
CShadowRuni just installed the package from synaptic06:08
CShadowRunah it installed a tar.gz06:09
CShadowRunconfigure make and install?06:09
persiaI think the easiest way is to install module-assistant.06:10
CShadowRunalready got it06:10
persiaIF that doesn't do it automatically (I've forgotten), you'll want to look at /usr/share/doc/kqemu-source/README (or something like that)06:11
persiaThere should be an ncurses guided activity to handle the compilation and installation of the modules package.06:11
persia(and yes, this should be easier)06:11
CShadowRunyup its doing that now :)06:13
CShadowRunthere we go, firing up ubuntu mobile now :)06:13
CShadowRunnah still as slow as before lol06:16
CShadowRunand now i have to sleep, it's 6:15am here :p06:16
persiaSleep well then :)06:24
rredd4is there a hardware support list for ubuntu mid?08:06
persiarredd4: None has been compiled.  It's known to work at least on the Samsung Q1U and the Kohjinsha SR series.  It ought work on anything with an Intel A100, A110, or Atom processor, and may well work on anything i586 or better.08:09
persiaMind you, for the latter case, you may need to manually inject an alternate kernel: it depends on the hardware.08:10
rredd4iphone 3g?08:10
persiaFor best results, you'll want a 6" or 7" touchscreen.08:10
persiaNo, that has an ARM processor.  Ubuntu Mobile only targets lpia right now, and the MID release has had issues described even for some models of the Eee.08:11
rredd4ok, thanks08:11
rredd4its good to hear that ubuntu is supporting mid devices tho@08:12
persiaYeah, although it will be even nicer when more devices that meet the requirements are on the market :)08:14
asacpersia: is lool still on leave?09:06
persiaasac: I'm going to say "yes" because I've not seen him about, but I've no specific information in my current memory store.09:07
asacpersia: i think i need to push xulrunner-1.9 to PPA and midbrowser as well, is that correct?09:09
asace.g. is midbrowser not startable atm?09:09
persiaasac: You want to do an SRU for mobile.archive.ubuntu.com?09:09
asacnot sure. we had a security update which invalidates the patches we have in mobile09:09
persiaYeah, it probably isn't, although I've not an up-to-date hardy MID installation running right now.09:09
StevenKasac: Merge them, we need the security update09:10
asacpersia: so the procedure is to push it to PPA and then let you know?09:10
asaci usually did that through lool, and last time there was confusion about the PPA purpose and so on.09:11
persiaasac: Yes, for anything locally patched in the PPA.  I think we can inherit updates from the main repos for things not already in the PPA.09:11
asacpersia: you think there might be someone who wants to learn how to do it ... to serve as a backup in the future?09:13
persiaLast I knew there were three authorised archive-admins for m.a.u.c, and two of them are here now :)09:14
terbohallo10:11
loolHey11:01
loolasac: hola11:01
loolasac: I'm coming back tomorrow11:01
loolasac: BTW there's a holiday/leave calendar on canonicaladmin since we're both canonical staff  ;)11:02
loolasac: We still have an old xulrunner-1.9 in ppa and mobile archive, as well as special but older langpacks11:03
loolasac: AFAIK, langpacks and xulrunner still need corresponding updates to their forks in the ppa11:03
asaclool: i told kylem how to update them before i left for the summit11:25
asac(langpacks)11:25
asaclool: did i upload a new midbrowser?11:26
asaclool: anyway. now out for lunch11:27
loolasac: sorry, not a lot in front of the computer; I'm not sure kyleN is caring for the UME langpacks -- he might be more interested in pushing langpacks to customer specific builds14:40
loolasac: I didn't understand what you meant with new midbrowser14:40
asaclool: he said he wanted to do that14:40
asaclool: 0.3.0...14:40
asacfinal14:40
loolasac: Ok, we should ask him then; last time I checked the langpacks were out of date sadly14:40
asacits was is needed to run with latest xulrunner 1.9.0.114:40
asacthe only change it has is that it opens up maxVersion in application.ini14:41
loolasac: Ok; so midbrowser and xulrunner-1.9 in ppa are ready?14:41
loolRight, I saw your moblin-commits@ diffs14:41
loolIIRC14:41
asaclet me check . i am not sure about the current state - thats why i asked ;)14:41
lools/diffs/diff14:41
asaclool: ok midbrowser was uploaded 25th Jul14:42
asaclooks like thats the update14:42
asaclool: xulrunner isnt in the ppa14:42
asacso we need to do that14:42
loolxulrunner-1.9: version 1.9.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.2+ume1 in http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mobile/ubuntu hardy main <= 1.9.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3 in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main14:42
asacto get back the gconf backend feature14:42
asaclool: oops14:43
loolLooks like you have a newer version in -security of xulrunner-1.9 still (.3)14:43
asacwell. ... that means i uploaded it 14:43
asacbut the update that jdstrand pushed to security broke it again14:43
asacok14:43
asacits just a version bump then14:43
asaclool: why is there no xulrunner-1.9 on https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mobile/+archive ?14:43
loolasac: Could you upload xulrunner-1.9 to u-m ppa?  I'd ask $someone to test them or test them myself and promote to main mobile archive14:44
asacis it superseeded by the archive build?14:44
loolasac: There is one14:44
asaci dont see it https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mobile/+archive14:44
asacbut most likely its just in a different state14:44
lool1  → 50  of 65 results 14:44
loolI see one published for hardy14:44
loolhttps://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mobile/+archive/+index?start=50&batch=5014:45
asaclool: ok. midbrowser neds to be copied to the ubuntu-mobile archive too i think14:47
asacjust remem ber that14:47
loolasac: You mean archive.mobile.u.c?14:48
loolasac: Sure, xulrunner and midbrowser at the same time14:48
loolasac: But I'll wait for your green light when you push .3+ume114:48
asaclool: can you please test if the language packs still work with current midbrowser and xulrunner 14:50
asacotherwise i will update all that are in ppa as well14:50
asacor wait14:50
asaccan you just install midbrowser from ppa and tell me whats the version in application.ini14:50
loolasac: Ok; I can't do all that today, will try to do that tomorrow14:54
* lool got to go now14:54
asaclool: i will look and take care for the langpacks. just take your last days off ;)14:56

CShadowRuni assume when the ARM version comes out the n810 is gonna be one of the first to be supported?17:30
