| persia | Hey. | 12:08 |
| iJonny | Anyone on here using ubuntu mobile yet :? | 12:20 |
| didrocks | Hey, | 17:04 |
| didrocks | can I upload netbook-launcher-efl removing the C/R which is uneeded? (I want to make netbook-launcher recommends netbook-launcher-efl as this one can now launch it if there is no 3D acceleration detected) | 17:05 |
| persia | didrocks: Go ahead, if they no longer C/R | 17:28 |
| persia | didrocks: It's probably work leaving the C/R, and just versioning it though. | 17:28 |
| didrocks | persia: ok, I'll do that way, thanks | 17:29 |
| persia | didrocks: Just as a guideline, we don't tend to be very proprietary about packages we use, and lots of stuff ends up being experiments to see how it works: if you have an improvement for anything, please just do it (although if you want to consult with others, we're happy to do that too) | 17:30 |
| didrocks | persia: ok, I was really thinking netbook-launcher-efl was a mobile thing first. I'll just need sponsoring as I'm still just a MOTU with GNOME package set right. But I'll find someone :) | 17:32 |
| persia | It is kinda a mobile thing, because lots of handhelds don't have enough GPU (or we don't have drivers) to handle full netbook-launcher | 17:32 |
| persia | But, like I said, we don't tend to be proprietary about packages: we're more focused on improving the general experience on smaller systems, rather than on specicific software. | 17:33 |
| persia | For this cycle, lots of focus has been on ARM processors, because there's only a very few Intel-based handhelds available right now. | 17:34 |
| persia | So don't be surprised if you see a patch fixing a FTBFS or providing optimisation in a Desktop package (as we also tend to assume other people aren't proprietary about packages) | 17:35 |
| persia | didrocks: Thinking about it, do you know a good reason why netbook-launcher-2D isn't in the ubuntu-desktop set? I thought there was a shared ubuntu-netbook seed for all architectures. | 17:36 |
| * persia double-checks | 17:36 | |
| didrocks | persia: oh, I'm not sure at all, I guess it should be. I didn't checked to be honest | 17:38 |
| persia | didrocks: There might also be a bit of confusion regarding seeds and sets. | 17:40 |
| persia | didrocks: If you're looking at dual-installability, you may want to drop the [armel] tag in the seed anyway :) | 17:40 |
| persia | But it's probably worth a mail to the TB. If there isn't a separate dev team for the netbook seed, there ought be, and you ought be in it :) | 17:41 |
| persia | (or at least an upload permission, and DMB can add people) | 17:41 |
| didrocks | persia: agreed. Let's first try to fix the C/R issue and then, we will see for the paperwork past FF :) | 17:45 |
| persia | heh, yeah :) | 17:45 |
| persia | didrocks: I'd recommend trying to upload, and seeking sponsorship if it fails. | 17:46 |
| persia | (unless you know a better way to test for sure) | 17:46 |
| didrocks | persia: right, asac anwsered too on #ubuntu-dekstop: do you want to do it or I try to upload? | 17:46 |
| persia | didrocks: I've less upload permissions than you: I have no package-sets beyond MOTU. | 17:47 |
| persia | (modulo a paperwork issue) | 17:47 |
| didrocks | ok :) | 17:48 |
| iJonny_ | hello... | 20:45 |
| iJonny_ | wonder if anyone could help me with a ubuntu-mobile & pda question :? | 20:46 |
| iJonny_ | im tryin to flash a pda someone gave me so that i cam put ubuntu-mobile on it... The pda comes up as a pda n not a drive or drive letter... Anyone know how i can install the .img file onto the pda over windows mobile ;? | 20:48 |
| persia | Well, which model? | 20:56 |
| persia | What processor? | 20:56 |
| iJonny_ | its a MEDION | 20:59 |
| iJonny_ | running windows mobile 4.20 atm... | 20:59 |
| persia | Sorry, I can't find specs from a quick search . | 21:16 |
| persia | But anyway, the best place to find out how to replace the OS is usually a hardware hacking site dedicated to the specific hardware. | 21:17 |
| persia | Once you can figure out how to run Linux at all, running Ubuntu is just a matter of starting with an Ubuntu filesystem. | 21:17 |
| persia | If it's an ARM based device, rootstock is a good tool for this. | 21:17 |
| persia | If it's an x86-based device, ubuntu-virtual-builder is probably closest (I should do some more research here). | 21:18 |
| iJonny_ | ok thanks for your help... | 21:22 |
| iJonny_ | ill keep looking :)) | 21:22 |

| persia | rbelem: Last chance on -default-settings (as we'll need an exception to the freeze otherwise) | 22:54 |
| rbelem | persia, i think it's better put -default-settings in the ppa | 22:56 |
| persia | rbelem: That works for me. Just wanted to make sure. | 22:56 |
| rbelem | :-) | 22:56 |
| persia | rbelem: In that case, we'll target everything for the PPA for lucid. Works for you? | 22:56 |
| rbelem | persia, yep! agreed | 22:57 |
| persia | ian_brasil: Just FYI ^^ | 22:57 |
| persia | rbelem: So, when you have some stuff ready, poke me, and I'll take a look re: packaging style, etc. | 22:58 |
| persia | Also, feel free to ask me if you have any questions, etc. | 22:58 |
| rbelem | cool! | 22:58 |
| rbelem | thanks persia :-) | 22:58 |
| persia | No problem. The ideas I heard at UDS were great. I'm looking forward to runinng this :) | 22:58 |
| rbelem | :-) | 23:00 |
| rbelem | we want ubuntu running on a mobile phone | 23:00 |
| rbelem | \o/ | 23:00 |
| rbelem | ian_brasil, ^ | 23:03 |
| persia | well, I don't want it on a phone, but I have minority views when it comes to what devices are useful :) | 23:07 |
| persia | (but my idea of an ideal handheld is in the same size range as other people would accept in phones : I just want my phone to be the size of a USB stick, or smaller) | 23:07 |
| persia | Putting the entire phone in a watch would be nice. | 23:07 |
