[17:40] <carmelo42> hello everybody
[17:40] <carmelo42> I have a question
[17:40] <carmelo42> I have an Aigo MID but it's an SFR version french mobile operator
[17:40] <carmelo42> the device can boot on every CD via an usb cd reader
[17:41] <carmelo42> but it can't boot on usb key ...
[17:41] <carmelo42> it's an SFR operator limitation
[17:41] <carmelo42> so .. I want to burn the ubuntu mid .img file on a cd ... but I don't know how ...
[17:41] <carmelo42> have you any idea ?
[19:11] <ian_brasil> in virtual box it is possible to set a shared folder between guest and host ..is this possible with kvm?
[19:24] <lool> carmelo42: Hey
[19:24] <carmelo42> hey
[19:24] <lool> carmelo42: I had the same issue
[19:24] <carmelo42> have you found something ?
[19:24] <lool> carmelo42: I think the BIOS checks for a particular magic
[19:25] <lool> carmelo42: What you can do is use the recovery USB key as a base, and then replace the files on that image
[19:25] <carmelo42> ok
[19:25] <lool> carmelo42: Start by making a copy of the USB key (with dd for instance)
[19:25] <carmelo42> i have done this
[19:25] <lool> Write it to a new key
[19:25] <carmelo42> ok
[19:26] <lool> Then replace syslinux.cfg, vmlinuz and the like with what's in the ubuntu .img
[19:26] <lool> Don't touch ldlinux.sys
[19:26] <lool> That should hopefully work
[19:26] <carmelo42> ok thanks you i will try that
[19:26] <lool> I've personally successfully changed syslinux.cfg, so I think it's possible to do this
[19:26] <carmelo42> you have the same MID ?
[19:26] <lool> Yes, I bought it a couple of weeks ago, but didn't have time to finish the reverse engineering of the BIOS checks
[19:27] <lool> I think it's in ldlinux.sys, but it could be in the vfat
[19:27] <carmelo42> ok
[19:27] <lool> I already checked whether it was just the syslinux version, but it's not
[19:27] <carmelo42> are you french ?
[19:27] <lool> I am
[19:27] <carmelo42> moi aussi :)
[19:27] <carmelo42> ça sera plus simple :)
[19:27] <lool> But we're on an English chan ;)
[19:27] <carmelo42> ok sorry ;)
[19:28] <lool> I actually had an English version of the Aigo MID, but it was stolen
[19:28] <lool> carmelo42: Happy to hear if the suggestions work for you, either here or on the mailing list
[19:43] <ian_brasil> maybe kvm cannot do shared folders and you need to set up a bridge and use scp to move files onto the guest
[20:39] <lool> ian_brasil: I think so
[20:41] <ian_brasil> Virtual Box has shared folders and it is cool
[20:56] <ian_brasil> and it raises the bar a lot for new developers to ubuntu mobile in that you need to set up a bridge in order to develop
[20:59] <ian_brasil> i will explain Virtual Box, KVM and setting up from scratch in the book
[21:15] <rzr> qemu/kvm has -smb option
[21:41] <ian_brasil> just tried to install mid in a virtual machine and i got an language error code 141..is this known about? 
[21:47] <ian_brasil> this is on the beta lpia mid
[21:52] <ian_brasil> rzr: this is windows only though right..or you need samba
[21:52] <rzr> or any plateform that support smb protocol
[22:10] <ian_brasil> it is easier to just use scp i think
