EricInBNEIt was suggested in #ubuntu-devel I ask what is the status of mobile-karmic-android-execution-environment? 12:21
EricInBNEId like to contribute to this projekt.12:22
loolEricInBNE: Good question12:56
loolEricInBNE: I'm not sure who's working on that in Ubuntu12:56
loolEricInBNE: But some Canonical OEM folks worked on it a while ago12:57
loolChickenCutClass and DebbieFoghorn12:57
loolthis represents some of the UDS discussions on the topic: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Specs/AndroidExecutionEnvironment12:57
EricInBNEhttp://mjfrey.blogspot.com/13:34
EricInBNElool, I sent that guy an email but he ignored it13:35
loolEricInBNE: I'm afraid these are busy people  :-/13:38
loolEricInBNE: are you familiar with ubuntu packaging and/or android alrready?13:38
EricInBNEyeah I write code for android. 13:39
EricInBNElooks like no pkgs in karmic-koala-beta5 either.13:39
loolOk; so my memory of where things stood is quite faint at this point13:39
loolEricInBNE: Basically I recall a demo at UDS where each android app was running in its own environment13:40
loolwith toplevel panel in each window13:40
loolOne dalvik per app13:40
loolthat was heavy and not really nice since you didnt get much android/ubuntu integration13:41
loolI understand the bulk of the effort was into patching android bits to build under ubuntu and in particular getting it to build with glibc13:41
wutzarai'm interessted in using the moblin interface. But the original moblin wont work on a CeleronM-processor. It is possible, that the ubuntu moblin remix work on such a processor?13:41
loolalso, they used some kernel patches but not all of them13:41
loolEricInBNE: What was your goal exactly?  Running android apps under ubuntu?13:42
loolwutzara: it does yes13:42
EricInBNElool: I run an android startup about 5 engineers. we'd love to have our app running on ubuntu. 13:42
loolwutzara: We're building our packages for the usual Ubuntu architectures, the daily image is an i386 one and supports 586+ or 686+ so celeron m is definitely supported13:42
EricInBNEwe are writing quite a bit of open source code at the moment13:43
loolEricInBNE: That's excellent13:43
loolEricInBNE: Well it's still a little early for Michael/Debbie (they are on the East Coast) but I'll try getting in touch with them to see where things stand13:43
EricInBNElool, cool. if Im asleep just /msg gambler (thats another entity of me that runs 24hrs)13:46
wutzaraok. Thats excellent. Is there a possibility to collaborate on the interface? or are there plans for an sdk or something?13:46
loolEricInBNE: ack13:46
loolwutzara: android or moblin?13:46
wutzaralool: moblin13:46
loolwutzara: what do you need an sdk for?13:46
loolI mean it's just regular ubuntu development style13:46
wutzara:) i dont know the regular ubuntu development style ;) i thought because the UI is something new, with many new librarys (clutter etc pp) so i thought it can be possible that a environment for development will be puplished ;)13:49
loolwutzara: it's the same environment13:49
loolwutzara: You can either develop from moblin or from regular ubuntu13:49
EricInBNElool, it would be great if he just published his git or bzr tree somewhere...13:50
wutzarais it possible to make programs that integrate directly into the interface of moblin? for example i want a RSS Reader for the HomeZone13:52
loolwutzara: I bet it's absolutely doable14:16
loolwutzara: Check out what the existing applets do and do the same thing14:16
wutzaralool: ok thanks for the informations! at the moment i try to start the live-cd with my usb-stick. in my first attempt he said something about uncompression failure. Is it possible to run that iso from usb?14:18
loolwutzara: You cant dd the ISO to USB like the moblin images14:19
loolwutzara: You need to use usb-creator to write it to an USB stick14:19
wutzarai use the usb-creator from ubuntu.14:19
loolwutzara: that should work14:21
loolwutzara: so what's the issue exactly?14:21
loolDo you get the language menu?14:21
wutzaralool: yes i see the language menu and start only the live-cd without installation. then a uncompession failure stop the boot process. but maybe my stick was not clean so i decided to partition it new14:22
wutzaralool: now it works i see the bootbar14:23
ograheh, bootbar ...14:36
davmor2I noticed something missing off of unr last night.  I went to click on network in order to connect to my samba share and it isn't there :(14:37
* ogra remembers a user calling it "the worm" in a bug ... "my worm is only 1/4 long" :)14:37
StevenKdavmor2: Does the same bug impact desktop?14:45
davmor2StevenK: no place->network is listed only on unr14:46
davmor2sorry should be a comma after listed14:47
davmor2StevenK: you can access it if you first open nautilus and then select network but I think it should be displayed under devices or something on the default system14:50
StevenKdavmor2: File a wishlist bug against netbook-launcher14:56
davmor2StevenK: No probs14:56

mdzwhere is the equivalent of Places->Connect to server in UNR?19:28
plarsmdz: I don't think there is one right now, unless you count doing it directly from nautilus20:29
plarsmdz: should be pretty simple to add a menu item for nautilus-connect-server though20:31
mdzplars, thanks20:48
plarsmdz: I don't *think* I've seen a bug on that one yet, but I can hunt around a bit an open one, unless you'd prefer to20:49
playyalool, ping21:37
loolplayya: half pong22:00
loolplayya: Just ask here or send an email, I might drop soon (11pm here)22:00
