evswitching to compiz in ubiquity-dm looks straightforward enough as compiz has the bailer plugin to fall back to metacity when the requisite hardware is not present15:16
evand indeed, I've got it to work in exactly that scenario (kvm)15:17
evbut I'm getting a segfault (in XCreateGC) when the hardware is available15:18
evI have to move onto other more pressing items, but I'll revisit it soon15:18
cjwatsonsuperm1: a friend of mine is asking about a situation where the spec sheet for a machine on Dell's web page (UK, probably) lists Ubuntu as a supported OS, but the configurator rejects it.  What should he do about it?16:27
cjwatsonI assume the Ubuntu team in Dell wants this stuff to be consistent16:27
cjwatson(apparently the "dell online chat" says it's actually not supported ...)16:27
superm1cjwatson, usually there are separate URLs for how to get to the ubuntu machines due to limitations in the configurator16:27
superm1it's not particularly user friendly in a lot of scenarios unfortunately, but if he starts at the landing page for the machine in question there should be a Ubuntu URL hopefully there.  if not, then he might have to do telesales to purchase it :(16:28
cjwatsonsuperm1: thanks!  I'll pass that on ...16:29
cjwatsonthe online chat denying the existence of Ubuntu on this machine is troubling, though16:30
superm1if it's not on the landing page but he can get it through telesales, i'll be glad to at least file an internal bug on the site if you pass some particulars on the issue16:30
cjwatsonhe said "so the spec sheet is wrong?" and they said "sorry for the confusion"16:30
superm1it's possible in the region in question it's not distributed with ubuntu too16:30
superm1unfortunately another big confusion point16:30
cjwatsonsuperm1: would you mind me putting him in touch with you directly?  I don't know how much you want end-user questions ...16:31
cjwatson(he's an ex-Canonical developer)16:31
superm1sure that's fine, i'll try to help however i can16:31
cjwatsonthanks a lot16:31
