| GrueMaster | sigh. Oem-config no longer prompts for system name. Everything defaults to ubuntu-laptop. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| rsalveti | GrueMaster: <user>-laptop | 00:01 |
| rsalveti | GrueMaster: fill a bug for that, we should fix it | 00:01 |
| GrueMaster | Still. I now have four systems that think they are ubuntu-laptop. | 00:01 |
| rsalveti | hahah | 00:01 |
| GrueMaster | Thank the gods for dhcpd config on mac address. | 00:02 |
| rsalveti | :-) | 00:02 |
| dcordes | rsalveti: | 00:06 |
| dcordes | I can't start anything on the display | 00:06 |
| dcordes | I am on http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/ports/daily-preinstalled/20100827.1/maverick-preinstalled-netbook-armel+omap4.img.gz | 00:06 |
| rsalveti | do you get at least a mouse pointer? | 00:06 |
| dcordes | I don't think so. although oem-config worked fine | 00:06 |
| dcordes | I see no errors in Xorg log about input | 00:06 |
| rsalveti | hm | 00:07 |
| rsalveti | try loading X and then some application by hand | 00:07 |
| rsalveti | just X | 00:07 |
| dcordes | ok | 00:07 |
| dcordes | brb (I only have one keyboard) | 00:07 |
| dcordes | should setup usb net kernel.. | 00:07 |
| dcordes | rsalveti: that worked. I started X and from another terminal ran DISPLAY=:0 netbook-launcher-efl | 00:09 |
| rsalveti | hm, so at least not a display problem | 00:09 |
| dcordes | and wow guys this interface is awesome | 00:10 |
| rsalveti | something is not calling nb-launcher-efl | 00:10 |
| dcordes | can't wait to shoot a video to show how good it looks on the HD2 ! | 00:10 |
| dcordes | are there gdm logs ? | 00:10 |
| GrueMaster | I'm seeing the same thing on beagleboard now. | 00:14 |
| dcordes | GrueMaster: should we open a bug | 00:15 |
| dcordes | grep -ri launcher-efl /etc/X11/ | 00:15 |
| GrueMaster | yea, if we can figure out the cause. Looking at .xsession-errors. | 00:15 |
| dcordes | somebody ate the corret session script ? :) | 00:15 |
| GrueMaster | Seems clutter is trying to run. | 00:17 |
| * GrueMaster would rather be golfing. | 00:21 | |
| persia | This is with a jasper-initialised system? The session correction was in jasper last I checked. | 00:21 |
| GrueMaster | still is. Not sure what got foobarred. | 00:21 |
| GrueMaster | I ran the fix manually. Will see what happens after reboot. | 00:22 |
| GrueMaster | wonderful. reboot and it now can't find the root partition. | 00:26 |
| dcordes | Window manager error: Unable to initialize Clutter. | 00:27 |
| GrueMaster | Yea, that's what I said. | 00:27 |
| GrueMaster | Try running "sudo /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-set-default-session une-efl" | 00:28 |
| dcordes | GrueMaster: Just confirming ;) | 00:28 |
| rsalveti | lots of updates on clutter side | 00:28 |
| rsalveti | probably the cause | 00:28 |
| GrueMaster | On the image after pre-inst? Jasper should be overriding that. | 00:29 |
| GrueMaster | weird. somehow the uuid for root changed. That or jasper screwed up. | 00:31 |
| rsalveti | GrueMaster: hm, it shoudn't | 00:31 |
| rsalveti | otherwise you'll not be able to mount rootfs | 00:32 |
| dcordes | !625591 | 00:32 |
| ubot2 | Factoid '625591' not found | 00:32 |

| rsalveti | dcordes: please subscribe "armel" group at arm related issues :-) | 00:35 |
| rsalveti | then we can quickly check it | 00:35 |
| GrueMaster | Actually, add armel to the tags and subscribe ubuntu-armel-porters. | 00:36 |
| rsalveti | sure, forgot about htat | 00:36 |
| dcordes | sorry, I have seen the tags but how to 'subscribe' ? | 00:36 |
| persia | On the right "subscribe someone else" | 00:37 |
| persia | The tag is more important, usually. | 00:37 |
| persia | (and would be auto-generated if you ran `ubuntu-bug ubuntu-netbook` to file the bug (replace "ubuntu-netbook" with another package if you know better)) | 00:38 |
| dcordes | Ok thanks a lot. | 00:38 |
| dcordes | persia: Ok next time I will use the ubuntu-bug program | 00:38 |
| * persia finds it easier than remembering all the details about doing it manually in LP | 00:39 | |
| dcordes | GrueMaster: So you think it is related to uuid or clutter problem ? | 00:41 |
| GrueMaster | Not sure what the uuid problem is. Could be just a plbkac issue (I'm juggling 3 images on 4 systems atm). | 00:42 |
| GrueMaster | Something that would help for testing & reporting issues. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileTeam/BugWorkflow | 00:43 |
| dcordes | Thanks that's a useful wiki page | 00:43 |
| GrueMaster | It's a little dated, but most of it is accurate. | 00:43 |
| dcordes | How can I make the bug affect a package after reporting ? | 00:45 |
| GrueMaster | sudo /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-set-default-session une-efl seems to have fixed my gdm default session. | 00:45 |
| GrueMaster | The easiest way is to use ubuntu-bug <packagename>. After, it is up to members of bug control to triage. | 00:46 |
| dcordes | Also I can't subscribe to someone else 'ubuntu-armel-porters' LP says it expects a LP id or email address. | 00:46 |
| dcordes | Yeah I will use that in future. But now that I created this bug manually already it would be nice to fix it. | 00:46 |
| GrueMaster | Well, since I'm now on bug control, I can do that. :P | 00:47 |

| * dcordes needs to find a way to have onboard popup when text input is expected and have it appear afterwards | 17:06 | |
| dcordes | s/appear/disappear/ | 17:06 |
| dcordes | is it expected no input help appears in oem-config ? I am missing the possibility to show keyboard | 17:06 |
| GrueMaster | dcordes: I don't think the image is geared towards touch screens yet. It is mainly derived from the x86 Netbook image. While we are working on multitouch in a different group, I don't think it will make Maverick, and I know it won't be tested on arm very much. | 17:11 |
| dcordes | GrueMaster: utouch I have seen it. very interesting | 17:12 |
| dcordes | GrueMaster: I even have a touchscreen driver with multitouch support | 17:12 |
| GrueMaster | Drivers exist, yes. Hardware, not so much. | 17:12 |
| dcordes | Well I got both | 17:12 |
| dcordes | Maybe I can help testing | 17:12 |
| GrueMaster | One thing you can do is file a bug against oem-config for adding touch screen support. Make sure the bug report is as detailed as possible. Add me to the subscribers list, and I can triage it and tweak as needed. | 17:14 |
| dcordes | GrueMaster: Awesome, will do that. | 17:15 |
| dcordes | I am also a bit worried about evtouch screen rotation. A bug exists for a while but it's not solved yet | 17:16 |
| GrueMaster | Lack of hardware for developers to work with. I have a Motorola Droid, which is the same base hw as the beagleboard, but I really don't want to sacrifice my cell phone for development yet. These cost a lot of $$$. | 17:17 |

| devilhorns | hmm, when setting up an arm environment for qemu via: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RootfsFromScratch , is it normal for the process to stall a very long time w/ libbonoboui2-common ? | 21:56 |
| lool | devilhorns: probably not | 22:48 |
| devilhorns | lool, yea, turns out my image was too small for everything | 22:53 |
| devilhorns | got it sorted out now tho, thanks | 22:53 |
| dcordes | devilhorns: stumbled across same problem few times with first rootstock attempts | 22:55 |
| devilhorns | dcordes, hehe :) | 22:55 |
| dcordes | devilhorns: be aware it is currently impossible to rootstock a full ubuntu image. it will fail installing mono | 22:55 |
| devilhorns | dcordes, that's ok, just doing arm netbook stuff :) don't need a full desktop image :) | 22:55 |
| dcordes | devilhorns: I am not sure but I think ubuntu-netbook will install mono as well | 22:56 |
| devilhorns | ugg, I hope not :) | 22:57 |
| dcordes | devilhorns: The savest thing is to roostock ubuntu-minimal and do anything else natively | 22:57 |
| dcordes | devilhorns: That's what I did | 22:57 |

| devilhorns | thx :) | 23:05 |
| dcordes | questions even | 23:05 |
| devilhorns | hehe | 23:05 |
| persia | dcordes, You ought be able to get onboard to do the right thing: investigate under the accessibility menu. | 23:12 |
| dcordes | persia: Is it expected to autohide ? | 23:35 |
| persia | I believe so, as it can take up a chunk of the screen. | 23:36 |
| * persia enables to check | 23:36 | |
| persia | it doesn&t autohide for me, but there is a mismatch between the onboard display layout and the keypresses sent to my irc client '* | 23:40 |
| persia | Seems to use a US layout internally, for some reason. | 23:40 |
| * persia files a bug | 23:40 | |
| dcordes | persia: You think I should file an improvement bug for the autohide ? | 23:44 |
| dcordes | persia: As an option I thought about using a tiling window manager like matchbox. But that will cut good screen area permanently and I only have 800x480 | 23:45 |
| persia | I'd recommend getting in touch with upstream to make sure they are happy with using it also as a touchscreen base. | 23:47 |
| persia | They're active folks, but concentrated on accessibility, which may have different driving requirements. | 23:48 |
| persia | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Projects/onBoard/ seems to document some of the ideas they've had to date. I don't seem to find their mailing list offhand, but you might with a bit of digging. | 23:50 |
| dcordes | persia: Ok I will contact them. One big improvement over previous versions is the new layout. And in case they really don't aim for touchscreen use, it is still the best option I found so far | 23:52 |
| persia | Yeah, although the modeswitch buttons are a bit confusing | 23:56 |
| persia | And I can't think of any good reasons why we shouldn't be collaborating between touchscreen and accessibility stuff: both groups have similar needs (can't use a real keyboard). | 23:57 |
| persia | And high pixel densitys map well to poor motor control (e.g. using a wand in one's mouth) | 23:57 |
