persiaHey juliux14:23
juliuxif i try install ubuntu-desktop on a n800 i got this dependencies problems http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/394406/ my sources.list is http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/394407/14:32
juliuxi followed this howto http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?s=3127852160d9e8ec0680bf3720e08e49&t=2597514:33
Stskeepsmm, do be aware that that ubuntu howto is hardly actual ubuntu, so there might be weird interactions14:35
juliuxno problem14:37
juliuxit is just for testing not for productive use14:37
juliuxif it's broken it is broken;)14:37
persiajuliux, According to http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/testing-ports/jaunty_probs.html it is broken today :(14:50
persiaIt's been working before, and will probably be working again.14:50
Stskeepsah, nice page14:51
* Stskeeps bookmarks14:51
juliuxpersia: thxs for the link14:51
juliuxpersia: i just find my n800 right bevor cebit back and then it was original playya job to bring ubuntu on it;)14:51
persiaCheck the LP page for anything that produces uninstallable binaries.  I suspect there's probably either version skew, or FTBFS going on.14:51
persiaIf you had playya hacking it directly, it probably got it installed fairly sanely, so it's just archive skew that's hitting you.14:52
juliuxok14:52
juliuxplayya found his n810 so we will test it in the next weeks again and again;)14:53
persiaMind you, if you're feeling sufficiently inclined to hunt down the reason for the failure, and submit patches ... :)14:53
juliuxi have ordered two extra sd cards today;)14:53
* persia needs to dig up some out-of-archive kernels, and install jaunty on more devices one of these days14:54
Stskeepsjuliux: if you need any assistance with ubuntu and such on the tablets feel free to prod me. b-man is mostly just integrating work done by me related to the mer project (we've had ubuntu/mojo since summer on the tablets but didn't want to have a seperate ubuntu distribution cos it would run into similar problems as with debian on tablets - not power saving enough :P)15:01
juliuxStskeeps: good to know15:02
juliuxStskeeps: i will wait until ubuntu-desktop is installable and then see what is working15:02
persiajuliux, While you're waiting, you might want to look at mer: it's got *lots* of patches that haven't gotten to Ubuntu yet.15:03
juliuxpersia: what is mer?15:03
Stskeepshttp://wiki.maemo.org/Mer , currently playing with new UI implementation based on some of the U-M patches :)15:04
juliuxok15:05
Stskeepsubuntu jaunty based15:05
persiaPersonally, I suspect that many, if not most, of those patches will drop into karmic, but none of those who could upload had time to review all the Mer patches during jaunty.15:07
looljuliux: Could be apport failing to build on armel15:18
loolUnfortunately, a bunch of main packages failed to build on armel15:18
persialool, More than apport.  See the jaunty-probs report.15:20
loolpersia: There's more than apport failing, but I suspect it's causing the uninstallability because of arch: all/any deps15:49
loolANyway15:49
juliuxsorry for the stupid question but what is the menu/swap key on a n800?18:19
Stskeepsthe middle one below dpad18:19
juliuxStskeeps: thxs18:19
juliuxStskeeps: mer installations runs fine for me18:20
juliuxthxs for the cool install script18:20
Stskeepshehe, say thanks to b-man for that part :)18:21
juliuxok18:22
juliuxStskeeps: is there a special irc channel for mer?18:46
Stskeepsjuliux: we mostly hang out in #maemo and #mer18:51
juliuxok18:51
NCommanderhey lool, I tested ubuntu-desktop on a fresh install twice, its not uninstallable for me23:14
NCommanderlool, I also have most of my patches to actually get RedBoot to build merged into bazaar repos (ecos's config tools need patching :-/)23:15
