DamageIncok im sorry15:58
AlibbDamageInc, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freescale_DragonBall16:01
DamageIncok thanks to all16:02
CShadowRunDamageInc i'm adding you to ignore now16:10
DamageInchello I apologise to everyone, I want to know if I can install UME on a Treo 750v with 300 MHz Samsung SC32442A processor16:15
GrueMasterSure, instructions are in the FAQ; link at the top of the IRC channel.16:16
DamageIncok thank you very much for your answer, sorry16:17

latouchehi everyone17:59
latouchewe were speaking on #navit about doing regular navit packages18:00
latoucheand someone told me that you may or may not be looking for a gps application18:00
persialatouche: "May or may not" is fairly accurate.18:10
persiaMore generally, we source packages in Ubuntu, so the first step would be to make sure that the navit in Ubuntu was up-to-date and in good shape.18:11
persiaAfter that, one would open a bug against the "mobile-meta" package asking for inclusion in the seeds.  Generally, we like to see a few successful test reports that the application integrates well in the environment, and meets some set of users specific needs in the bug.18:13
persiaNote that it might be excluded only because of size, as there are some users of the mobile seeds that only have about 2G of disk available, including space for user data, so we tend to be cautious about adding too much.18:13
latoucheok18:16
latouchethe application is not really big (~500K)18:17
latouchewhat take the more space is maps18:17
latoucheand it depends on user needs18:17
latoucheso we will first see to have the package included in Ubuntu main branch18:18
persiaThat makes sense.  Including a small application with a good interface telling people what needs to be done for local maps is the sort of solution that is likely to be approved.18:19
persiaIt first needs to get included in the Ubuntu repositories generally.  It doesn't have to be on any of the CDs or anything.18:19
latouchefor now, the packages will be build from the svn, the last released version is too old18:19
persiahttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages describes the process.  The further that you're willing to push it, the faster it will likely happen.18:20
latoucheok18:20
persiaWe can accept VCS snapshots, although we prefer releases.  I don't suppose you're close to something that might be a release milestone that could be distributed as tar.gz, are you?18:20
latouchei will speak of that with the others18:20
persiaIt needn't be a "final production release", but at least something that you're willing to help support for bugfixing, etc. for the 18 month support cycle of an Ubuntu release (really, about 22-24 months considering our freeze schedules)18:21
latoucheit's improving quite rapidly those days so maybe something will be released soon or later18:21
latoucheok18:22
persiaMost of the time, we don't need heaps of support, but it's nice when we can ask and expect to get an answer other than "Just grab the newest SVN and see if that fixes it".18:22
persiaExcellent.  Now, an unfortuntate point:18:22
persiaOur freeze for the next cycle starts 28th August, so it may be a little late to try to get it in for the October release.  Things look much better for the April 2009 release.18:23
latoucheare you speaking of ubutu mobile or ubuntu ?18:23
persiaBoth :)  They have the same schedule.18:28
latoucheok :)18:28
latoucheas you said, it may be too late18:28
persiaUnfortunately.18:31
GrueMaste1persia (or someone):  how can I set up a chroot build environment for intrepid, similar to a MIC project?18:37
persiaGrueMaste1: Well, I've just been experimenting with that today, but I don't think there is an official answer, because it's not done yet.18:38
GrueMaste1Ok.  I need to at least get the lpia kernel headers so I can port the video drivers.18:38
persiaWhat I did was to grab https://code.launchpad.net/~stevenk/livecd-rootfs/trunk and run `livecd.sh -d intrepid ubuntu-mid` from inside an intrepid/lpia chroot I had created with debootstrap.18:39
GrueMaste1Ok, I'll  give that a whirl.18:39
=== GrueMaste1 is now known as GrueMaster
persiaThat created a squashfs for me, but I've not yet really tested it much.  Note that doing it that way doesn't currently create an image that installs, but it should create one that boots.18:40
persiaI've been fussing with the installer, and hope to have something for the meeting tomorrow.18:40
persia(but it doesn't work for <600 vertical pixels yet)18:40
GrueMasterWhat I tried earlier was to build a Hardy snapshot, then change the sources.list* to point to intrepid.18:40
GrueMasterBut it didn't get the kernel.18:40
persiaI encountered some oddities about the kernel when I was testing ~12 hours ago, but I don't really understand either what happened or the implications of it.18:42
GrueMaster/msg NickServ identify 1GrueM18:42
persiaIdeally, the procedure you used should work if performed in a chroot, but may not work if performed on an actual device (due to the filesystem layering, etc.)18:42
GrueMasterThat's where I tried.18:43
GrueMasterIn a MIC project area18:43
persiaHmm.  It might be related to the general changes in how kernels are being maintained for intrepid, but again, I'm not entirely sure.18:45
=== mkrufky-lunch is now known as mkrufky
persiaGrueMaster: Looking in my debootstrap intrepid/lpia chroot, it seems that the "linux" package pulls a lpia kernel.  I'm not sure if that matches the name that was used in hardy.18:52
GrueMasterI have noticed the kernel packages seem a bit off.  The last lpia was 2.6.26-1, but the current main linux-headers is 2.6.26-518:53
GrueMasterIt is.18:53
persiaRIght, that's probably still related to issues with settling down ABI transition processing as part of the migration to the new per-architecture kernel maintenance plan.18:54
persia(and yes, it ought be fixed: please file a bug)18:54

nxvlwhat's the password for ume user?20:54
nxvlon the kvm image20:54
nxvlnevermind, found it20:55
nxvldid someone know what do i need to run netbook remix on a kvm?21:05
nxvljust install ubuntu and install the software from the ppa?21:06
ogralikely21:06
loolGrueMaster: Do change nickserv password; this chan is publicly logged21:07
ogranxvl, but you wont have much fun with UNR without composite21:07
loolGrueMaster: The bulk of the work for a chroot would be debootstrap; what persia told you are good instructions to get a Ubuntu MID environment though21:07
nxvlogra: tno other way?21:07
GrueMasterYea, I know.  Stupid Pidgin forwarded my msg to the room instead.21:07
loolGrueMaster: If you're under hardy and need intrepid, you can install intrepid's debootstreap under your hardy box and then create a chroot with it21:07
ogranxvl, the launcher is written in clutter 21:07
ogra100% composite usage21:07
loolGrueMaster: Otherwise, you could play with VMs; we have tools to create Ubuntu MID VMs or generic hardy/intrepid VMs21:08
GrueMasterI'm working on that now.  My build machine was actually Fiesty, but I'm in the process of upgrading to Hardy now.21:08
loolThe tools are ubuntu-vm-builder (generic) and virtual-mobile-builder (Ubuntu MID wrapper around uvb)21:08
loolGrueMaster: Hmm yeah definitely a good idea21:08
nxvlogra: but the question is: do i need to change the repos or just add software to my normal ubuntu instalation21:09
ograthere is a howto on the UNR launchpad page21:09
nxvlogra: https://edge.launchpad.net/netbook-remix <- this one?21:10
ogranxvl, right21:11
nxvlogra: thank you21:11
