| austen | Hey | 19:05 |
|---|---|---|
| Pendulum | paul_h1: you're the person who just posted asking about Unity and Orca, right? | 22:03 |
| Pendulum | bah | 22:03 |
| Pendulum | nevermind | 22:03 |
| Pendulum | I was crap at reading names ;-) | 22:03 |
| Pendulum | TheMuso: are you aware if any testing was done of running Orca on Unity? | 22:04 |
| paul_h1 | Pendulum: sorry, did you ask me something? (wasn't paying much attention to computer...) | 22:22 |
| Pendulum | paul_h1: I did, but then realised the answer to my question was no :) | 22:25 |
| paul_h1 | Pendulum: oh okay :) hows it going anyway? | 22:29 |
| Pendulum | okay. how're you? | 22:29 |
| paul_h1 | Pendulum: okay :) job hunting at the mo. how's the ubuntu a11y effort going? I did a successful upgrade to Maverick with Orca the other day :) | 22:33 |
| TheMuso | Pendulum: Yes, it doesn't work. | 22:33 |
| TheMuso | not completely anyway. GNOME pieces, like network manager/the indicator menus/nautilus work, but the main unity shell doesn't at all. | 22:34 |
| paul_h1 | is this the netbook UI? | 22:35 |
| TheMuso | yes | 22:35 |
| Pendulum | TheMuso: ah, okay. Someone asked about it on the list so I figured I'd ask around | 22:37 |
| Pendulum | paul_h1: well, we're gearing up to figure out what we want to talk about at UDS and what we want to do this cycle | 22:37 |
| TheMuso | I'll reply as well | 22:37 |
| Pendulum | I'm starting to think QA is more and more important between the whole Orca & Unity thing and a problem that came up on the list a couple weeks ago with the accessible installer | 22:38 |
| Pendulum | or, rather, that it's a role we should do more of | 22:38 |
| TheMuso | Agreed. Pitty under normal circumstances, I can't give enough time to that. | 22:39 |
| Pendulum | yeah | 22:39 |
| Pendulum | I wish I had a better ability to test things like Orca because I think they're where we have more issues (opposed to the software I use which has less integration issues and more issues directly with the software, although I've heard it's fixed in Maverick, anyway) | 22:40 |
| Pendulum | and breaking things is fun ;-) | 22:41 |
| paul_h1 | I don't think that maverick can be installed with orca can it? I hit a wall once the webkit bit kicked in | 22:41 |
| Pendulum | paul_h1: I think that's right | 22:41 |
| paul_h1 | that's why I tried a distro upgrade which luckily went well | 22:42 |
| Pendulum | yeah | 22:42 |
| Pendulum | I haven't upgraded my main machine, just my netbook (which has regular ubuntu) | 22:43 |
| TheMuso | The problem with the live installer for me, is that it doesn't yet support LVM, and I tend to always install to LVM setups on any of my machines. | 22:43 |
| paul_h1 | my main work laptop is running maverick quite nicely. I'm hoping to install server edition on a machine soon | 22:48 |
| JanC | TheMuso: it might be possible to install on LVM volumes with the live CD installer if you create them first? or does it really ignore existing LVM volumes?? | 22:57 |
| TheMuso | JanC: The live installer doesn't have the patchwork at the backend to use LVM. | 22:58 |
| TheMuso | Its on the list of requested features, but not there yet., | 22:58 |
| paul_h1 | TheMuso: wondering how the process of migrating vinux to use the same build process as ubuntu discs is going? | 23:53 |
| TheMuso | paul_h1: Slowly, other interests outside of work/life have kept me away from it somewhat. | 23:54 |
| paul_h1 | fair enough. is this a project of yours alone? last time I looked at the ninux website I saw no indication that this was an intention of vinux for the future. are the other vinux guys part of these plans? | 23:57 |
| TheMuso | paul_h1: They know about them, but are not involved yet. Its something I am doing on my own, due to the difficulty of the process and the systems involved. Once done, I hope to completely document it, so others can learn/maintain it. | 23:58 |
| TheMuso | I decided to take this route after seeing the horrible hacky way in which vinux CDs have been produced in the past. | 23:58 |
