persiaogra: I think I found a hint as to why your image won't load in KVM: when booting it shows as both a DVD drive and a regular drive.  Is the image perhaps partitioned somehow?08:53

crevettepersia: hello11:17
ograpersia, Err http://archieve.ubuntu.com intrepid/main linux-image-2.6.27-4-generic 2.6.27-4.511:18
ogra    404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.46.80]11:18
ogra"11:18
ograi just got that from a user trying the workaround ... do you notice something ? 11:19
ograhmm, no, its all correct, he must have fiddled with the sources.list himself to get that typo in11:24
ograpersia, my image isnt partitioned btw, i use the script build-mobile-img StevenK uses on cdimage12:46
ograso i dont see wha mine wouldnt boot but his does12:46
ogra*why12:47
ograhmm13:00
ogramight be that cdimage builds in a hardy envionemnt 13:00
loolAh too bad amitk isn't around13:00
loolhttp://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/2137913:00
* ogra tries running syslinux for his image in a hardy chroot13:00
ogralool, did you try it ? 13:01
loolNope, but at least it feel like we could use madwifi + new hal in linux-lpia rather than building a lrm13:02
ograneh, would have been helpful if they had put a changelog in the tar.bz213:02
persiacrevette: Hi.  superm1 and I tested your 0.28 preparation in a variety of environments.  It works great, unless we use the 2.6.27 kernel.13:18
persiasuperm1 is working on packaging 1.5: if this tests cleanly, we may use that.13:18
persialool: Would you mind taking a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/51200/ ?  It is supposed "hildonisation" for the bluez-gnome preferences applet.  Personally, I think it's probably an improvement generally rather than only in hildon, but I'd like your opinion as someone more familiar with GTK+.13:19
persiaogra: If you're using the same script then I'm also confused.  Do you see any difference building under hardy?  Also, you probably want to grab the new version of the script, that fixes the no-kernel-is-being-installed issue.13:20
persiaogra: Additionally, the reason people are seeing that 404 error is that their apt-cache is out of date.  They need to run apt-get update.13:21
StevenKpersia: Did you see the URL? http://archieve.ubuntu.com intrepid/main13:21
ograwell, since they are downloading and install manually i just put a direct url in a blog comment now13:22
ograStevenK, must be a typo in the copy/paste though, the sources.list in the image and the preseed are both fine 13:22
persiaOoh.  I didn't see that.  Maybe a preseeding issue?13:22
ograi checked that13:22
persiaAh.  RIght.  Let's call that a reporter typo then.13:23
ograpersia, and hardy doesnt help it seems13:23
persiaogra: Hrm.  I dunno.  The images I get from StevenK work everywhere.  Your image gives strange results in KVM, and won't boot on the D4.  It works fine on the SR.13:23
ograyeah, i see the qemu issue here as well13:24
ograbut using the hardy syslinux definately doesnt change a thing13:24
persiaogra: Also, if you haven't seen already, I updated the -mobile preseeding bug with all the useful details, after some discussion in ubuntu-installer.  You probably need to fiddle ubuntu-mobile-default-settings though.13:24
ograyeah, gdm-cdd.conf currentl relies on ubuntu as username and no password13:25
persiaogra: What else do you have customised?  d-i passwd/auto-login will sedify gdm.conf to do the right thing.13:29
ograright13:30
ogragdm-cdd.conf uses the theme i use in the desktop and the face browser 13:31
persiaAh.  I wonder if user-setup apply can handle gdm-cdd.conf.13:31
persiaAnyway, you can't effectively force the username except in --automatic mode, which you don't really want, as there's no reason -mobile should br crippled like that.13:32
ograi dont really like to force any kind of typing in gdm though13:32
ograunless i have any kind of onscreen kbd13:32
persiaRight.  That's why I'm suggesting d-i passwd/auto-login : it will automatically log in *whichever* username the user selects in the installer.13:33
ograbut you wont get back in if you log out13:33
ograit doesnt set timed login and doesnt set userlist13:33
ograboth is needed13:34
persiaHmm...13:34
ograautologin only works on first login, for the second timed login is required as well13:34
persiaWhat's the use case for logging out?13:34
ogratouchscreen recalibration13:34
ograheh, fun there is denemo for maemo :)13:35
persiaMaybe that doesn't have quite so many bugs.13:35
ograit seems to use timidity 13:36
persiaogra: Also, with the announcement of GNOME Mobile, what do you think about aligning Ubuntu Mobile with that base?13:36
ograi guess its an older version13:36
ogra?? 13:36
ogramid is aliged with that 13:36
persiaHrm?13:36
persia-mid is hildon.13:36
ograi dont want hildon in -mobile13:36
persiaNeither do I.13:36
StevenKGnome Mobile isn't Hildon13:36
ogragnome-mobile *is* hildon13:36
persiaNo.13:36
persiaMaemo is hildon.  GNOME Mobile is different.13:37
ograwell, matchbox and friends at least13:37
persiaThe block diagram I see is BlueZ, e-d-s, Telepathy, Avahi, GStreamer, Matchbox, GCon, SQLite, GCVF, GIO, Pango, Cairo, ATK, GTK*, GLib, and DBus.13:38
persiaI *don't* see hildon-desktop, or any of that sort of thing.13:39
ograwell, apart from matchbox and telepathy ubuntu-mobile has exactly all components 13:39
persiaFrom that set, Ubuntu Mobile uses almost all of it: the only pieces absent are that Telepathy wasn't selected for intrepid, and you're hinting compiz/metacity, rather than using matchbox.13:40
persiaAm I missing something important?13:40
ogranope13:40
ograwell, gvfs instead of gnome-vfs (which is dead)13:40
persiaYeah.  Where I wrote "GCVF" I meant to write "GVFS"13:41
ograi was commenting the diagram :)13:41
persiaOh :)13:41
persiaSo I was thinking it might be handy to claim "Ubuntu Mobile is based on GNOME Mobile".13:41
persiaBut that requires consensus that it actually is :)13:42
* ogra wonders when he manages to have hiw 2G SD card filled with crap in the n800 ... i'm installing apps since yesterday :P13:42
persia2G is insufficient space.13:42
ograwell, i'D like to go on claiming that it is based on gnome desktop but it incorporates gnome mobile technology13:42
ograit uses nearly the complete set of gnome desktop apps13:43
persiaOK.  That makes sense.  GNOME Mobile claims it is the basis of Ubuntu Mobile, and I like to reciprocate, but I can see the value in claiming GNOME Desktop as well.13:46
persiaFor -mid, I think Maemo is the sensible upstream, so perhaps it's GNOME Mobile -> Maemo -> Ubuntu MID.13:46
ograthats the important part to me ... i want the apps to work on 600 vertical pixels (minus 48px panel)13:46
persiaRight, and that is a long-standing GNOME Desktop requirement: holding them to it makes sense.13:47
ograxactly13:47
loolpersia: Hmm the patch changed slightly since last time I saw it; I'm pretty sure it's not hildon dependent, but UI reorg13:51
loolI know the OEM people had trouble packing everything on screen in bluetooth dialogs13:51
persialool: It's entirely UI reorg.  If the GTK+ looks clean to you, I'm thinking of pressing for it to be the default, rather than "hildon".13:51
persiaYeah, 1.5 has a *much* cleaner interface, and is compatible with our kernels.  Needs a heap of testing to be included though.13:52
loolperhaps this patch can now be made upstream then13:52
loolIt was longer in the past, had more dialogs and all13:53
* lool needs to go afk13:53
persiaThat's what I'm thinking, but since it's the first time I've every written in GTK, I want someone else's opinion :)13:53
loolI remember reviewing the changes in depth, but it's hard to comment on them as a patch as it depends on the affected widgets/code13:55
loologra-maemo: Like your N800? :)13:55
ograyeah, love it13:55
persialool: OK.  Is this something you can do later, or shall I hunt another GTK master?13:56
ogra-maemothe font is quite small in xchat13:56
loolpersia: I think you're trying our the bluez packages regularly?  would be nice to apply the patch and see if it still improves the UI and send it upstream13:58
loolHow stupid, my screen speakers are now shut off when the screen goes in power suspend mode13:58
persialool: OK.  I'll find another GTK Master.  Thanks as always.13:58
* lool goes back to cleaning13:59
ograogra-maemo, meep14:00
ograhmm, no sounds14:00
ograogra-maemo, meep14:00
ograogra-maemo, again14:00
ograogra-maemo, pfft14:01
persiaogra-maemo: Does it help if someone else does it, or is it just broken?14:01
ograah, no libnotify14:01
ograi guess i have to configure a wav file for sounds and the ballon thngie only wiorks with libnotify installed14:01
* ogra-maemo goes looking for the pkg14:02
persiaHmm.  In today's MID image, midbrowser doesn't launch.14:10
loolHmm NM seems to think the ath5k wifi on the Q1U is a wired network interface14:48
ogra-maemodid you try dis/enable wireless from the context menu ?14:50
loologra-maemo: There's no such thing, because it doesn't recognize it as a network interface14:51
loologra-maemo: What was last time you checked ath5k on Q1U?  2.6.26?14:51
loolIt might work if we fix hal14:52
loolI could tell if I'd plug a kbd14:52
ograi tried with .2714:53
ograit recognized it corrently but all connect attempts failed14:53
ogra*correctly14:53
ograi think the last time was with .27-214:54
* ogra needs to go to mow the lawn ... semms its the last sunny day for quite some time ... back later14:54
persialool: Do you think bug #275158 needs to be on the release list?14:59
ubottuLaunchpad bug 275158 in xfree86-driver-synaptics "Please enable a build for lpia" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/27515814:59
rhpHi all. A question on the necessary hardware to run the mid image on. I am currently running ubuntu 7.10 on a Fuyitsu Siemens Stylus 3400 (Pentium III). Since it is a tablet-pc, I am wondering whether I could run the mid version of ubuntu on it as well.15:02
rhpBtw. it has only 4MB graphics memory, no 3D accel.15:02
persiarhp: How much RAM?15:02
rhp192MB15:02
persiaIt'd be tight.  You could try.  I think you'd do best to use the mccaslin image, and make sure that the -lpiacompat kernel is installed.15:03
persiaMind you, ubuntu-mid is really designed for > 200DPI, so things will look a bit chunky.15:04
loologra-maemo: It fails to connect here as well; ISTR the driver only supports WEP at this time though15:04
loolAnd I'm using WPA15:04
loolI should check with some other AP and open access15:05
ogracant be, i'm using WEP all over my house 15:05
loolpersia: It shouldn't be a release blocker15:05
loologra: Do you get any packets in monitor mode?15:05
persialool: Oh well.  It's trivial to fix, but I'm not sure if tjaalton or bryce will want to fix it if it's not a release blocker.15:06
ograwell, would be good to have synaptics (touchpads wont work without it, hal-input defaults to it for all touchpads) actually and its a trivial change 15:06
ogralool, i didnt try15:06
ograi will if i'm back ... really out now ...15:06
persiaAnd my D4 (form factor device) has a synaptics touchpad.15:06
loolpersia: I could fix it as well I guess?15:07
persialool: If you have the git-fu, indeed.15:08
loolI do15:08
persialool: Well then, thanks :) 15:09
loologra: I don't see any packets15:09
rhppersia: what does McCaslin indicate? Is that a code name for versions of ubuntu-mid?15:10
rhpHow reliable are the intrepid test versions? Reliable enough, or should I really stick with the released hardy version?15:11
persiarhp: For the Ubuntu MID hardy release, there were four things released.  One was called "mccaslin" and was optimised for the Samsung Q1U.  It most likely to be compatible with most hardware.  The others were "menlow", optimised for some development boards, a KVM image, and a Moblin-Image-Creator project tarball.15:11
persiarhp: If you want to play with the development snapshots, you can grab a daily from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-mid/intrepid/current/15:12
rhpI read on the web-site there is also a 'regular' i386 version.15:13
rhpBut I don't see images for that.15:13
persiaThat should work, and if it doesn't, try installing the -lpiacompat kernel in a chroot, and try that.15:13
rhpOk, I'll try. 15:14
persiaThere's no images available for the i386 version of ubuntu-mid, and there's *heaps* of bugs because some changes were made architecture-specific that weren't.15:14
persiaThere's a preview image of ubuntu-mobile available for i386, but I'm not sure how well it works with 192MB RAM.15:14
rhpok then, the mccaslin image it is. Thanks.15:14
rhpWhat are the development snapshots targetted at?15:15
persiaYou mean, what sort of devices?15:15
rhpYes15:16
rhpThere seems to be only one version, so no destinction between mccaslin and menlow.15:17
persiaWell, I know it's been tested in KVM, on the Aigo MID, on the Samsung Q1U, on the Kohjinsha SR, and on the Sharp D4.15:17
loolpersia: fixed15:17
loolpersia: You might need Pas support though15:17
persialool: Excellent.  Yeah, I'll send that as soon as I notice the upload is accepted.15:17
loolNo it's fine15:17
lool%xfree86-driver-synaptics: !s390>------->------->------->-------      # Needs xserver-xfree8615:17
loolpersia: I built the source from a debian box, so didn't close the lp bug in the changes, but I closed the bug by hand15:18
persiaOh good.  StevenK said it was in P-a-s, but didn't say it didn't need support.  I'll just expect the D4 sidebar to work for tomorrow's image then.15:18
persialool: No problem.  I don't really care about changelog-closes-bug for this last-minute architecture-enablement stuff.15:18
persiarhp: There shouldn't be anything device-specific in the development snapshot images (if there is, it's a bug).  Whether all the features are working properly or not is a different issue.15:20
rhppersia: ok, clear enough. I'll give it a spin and find out for myself.15:25
persiarhp: Please let us know how it works.15:27
rhpSure15:27

rhpok. this is probably to stupid to ask, but I could not find an anwser on the wiki. Here goes: how should I put the image on a usb stick to make it boot ubuntu-mid? cat xxx.img > /dev/sdb? 20:37
rhpIs it true that booting the usb.img will overwrite my disk on the target system?21:17
rhpIf so, I surely missed that big fat red warning sign that indicated as much...21:17
