[06:31] <gdong> hello
[06:31] <gdong> anyone here familiar with the touchbook?
[06:47] <Martyn> Is it even available?
[06:47] <Martyn> Last I knew, all there was is a 3D render of it, and a pre-order button.   Not even a prototype
[06:47] <Martyn> (although someone did show something running on a Beagleboard)
[07:13] <gdong> there's a new video with a prototype
[07:14] <gdong> 2 videos actually
[07:15] <gdong> I'm looking to get into a software project that will hopefully eventually run on ubuntu, on top of the touchbook
[07:15] <gdong> for starters, i was wondering what kind of software compatability can i expect between the original ubuntu desktop and the ARM version of ubuntu?
[07:22] <Stskeeps> quite high i'd say, provided it gets compiled for ARM obviously :P
[07:33] <gdong> so if i have the source for a program, can i just compile with the make file on the touchbook and run the binaries?
[07:34] <Sts|office> yes, in many circumstances - unless it's badly coded :)
[07:34] <gdong> awesome :)
[07:34] <gdong> our software is being planned to be based off java
[07:34] <gdong> any idea if there's a java virtual machine that will run on ubuntu arm?
[07:36] <Stskeeps> i think openjdk is compiled though i'm not sure?
[07:40] <gdong> alright i'll start reading up on it
[07:40] <gdong> thanks a lot
[08:23] <persia> openjdk FTBFS for jaunty (see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu7/+build/948363)
[08:24] <Stskeeps> ah - then i was wrong
[08:24] <persia> Extra points if fixing that also fixes the hppa ftbfs :)
[08:26] <persia> Well, openjdk has been built for armel previously.  Probably just needs someone to dig through the issue.
[08:27] <persia> There's no good reason it shouldn't work, just that nobody seems to be chasing it aggressively.
