[14:46] <mattgriffin> would anyone with Ubuntu running on ARM be willing to join the Ubuntu One beta program and provide feedback on any issues?
[14:51] <ogra> mattgriffin, i dont think we have many desktop users yet :)
[14:53] <ogra> the HW we target isnt on the market yet, and users running ubuntu on their ARMs atm will rather have systems that are not really powerful, but given that ubuntuone is in the default install i'll include it in image testing
[14:53] <ogra> plars, ^^^ can we take that into account in the testing process ?
[14:54] <mattgriffin> ogra: great! thanks so much. just want to make sure we won't have compatibility problems with ARMs.
[14:55] <mattgriffin> ogra: ping me if you need access to the beta or have any questions/feedback.
[14:56] <ogra> mattgriffin, will do
[15:25] <Martyn> morning
[15:25] <plars> mattgriffin, ogra: absolutely! I actually just got my account active on it a few days ago
[15:25] <ogra> heh, me too
[15:25] <mattgriffin> :)
[15:26] <ogra> my invitation from barcelona was timed out
[15:26] <plars> mattgriffin: are there already test procedures or testsuites in place for ubuntu one client?
[15:26] <plars> mattgriffin: it would be good if we could just take the same tests you are already running and do that on our hardware
[15:26] <mattgriffin> ogra: i'll share a file with you and it will send you another invitation
[15:27] <ogra> i applied for one and have it running
[15:27] <mattgriffin> plars: cool. i'll check into those.
[15:38] <Martyn> ogra : Do we have a rootfs for 9.10?
[15:38] <ogra> https://launchpad.net/project-rootstock/
[15:38] <Martyn> ogra : I've been asked to demonstrate it on the PBX-A9 if possible .. but I haven't been keeping up with the current state of devel.
[15:39] <ogra> (the script formerly known as ...)
[15:39] <Martyn> right :)
[15:40] <ogra> you need to run it on 9.10 or at least pull the debootstrap from it into your system
[15:40] <Martyn> Is the prereq having a fully installed QEMU environment still?
[15:40] <ogra> yep
[15:40] <Martyn> okay, I'll update my system to the current 9.10 alpha and give it a shot
[15:40] <ogra> you could use https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/BuildEABIChroot but that only bootstraps the system, you need to chroot and configure manually
[15:41] <Martyn> I'll give your new script a try :)
[15:41] <ogra> but its significantly faster
[15:41] <ogra> ok
[15:41] <Martyn> Might as well start eating the dogfood :)
[15:41] <Martyn> (as they say)
[15:41] <ogra> thats good, i'll package it soon
[15:41] <ogra> and am working on a gui version
[15:41] <Martyn> ogra : meanwhile I can just check it out from the repository, yea?
[15:41] <ogra> right
[15:41] <Martyn> current trunk should be stable enough to use?
[15:41] <ogra> yep
[15:42] <ogra> if you see issues, let me know
[15:42]  * Martyn starts downloading the 9.10 alpha image
[15:43] <Martyn> server install CD should be enough, yea?
[15:43] <ogra> yeah
[15:59] <rjune_wrk> ogra: who builds perl for arm currently?
[15:59] <ogra> nobody specifically, why ?
[16:00] <rjune_wrk> I need to cross compile it.
[16:00] <ogra> (there is nothing thats specifically built for arm)
[16:00] <ogra> our arm buildds act like the i386 ones and just pick up the source package once its uploaded
[16:00] <rjune_wrk> are you cross compilng? or does the build system run on an arm box?
[16:01] <ogra> crosscompiling is a massive effort
[16:01] <rjune_wrk> yes i t is
[16:01] <ogra> we are building everything natively
[16:01] <rjune_wrk> damn.
[16:01] <ogra> crosscompiling means to build the whole dependency chain first
[16:01] <rjune_wrk> Yup.
[16:01] <rjune_wrk> I know what it takes.
[16:02] <ogra> right
[16:02] <ogra> then you know why we build only natively :)
[16:02] <rjune_wrk> I've been using crosstool for most of those bits.
[16:02] <rjune_wrk> yea.
[16:03]  * ogra goes on a call 
[16:03] <rjune_wrk> thx ogra
[16:03] <ogra> welcome
