[19:47] <burli> hi
[19:47] <burli> does Ubuntu TV use a window manager?
[20:02] <tgm4883> burli, it uses Unity
[20:04] <burli> tgm4883, Unity is not a Window Manager
[20:04] <tgm4883> but compiz is
[20:04] <burli> yeah, but Ubuntu TV uses Unity-2D
[20:04] <burli> as far as I know
[20:05] <burli> and Unity-2D normally uses Metacity
[20:05] <burli> but I dont see a need for a window manager on a TV, because there are no "windows"
[20:05] <burli> thats why I ask
[20:05] <tgm4883> I don't know enough about the future of ubuntuTV to answer that question in terms of what is the target
[20:14] <mcbaine1>  Hi there ::: I'm really excited about going to FOSDEM  ... I put an advert in the national newspaper to see if anyone else is going and to get in touch etc... Anybody available for abit of travelling / FLOSS advice here atmo.   ??
[20:15] <tgm4883> burli, according to wikipedia, Unity 2D can use metacity or something like compiz or kwin
[20:16] <burli> tgm4883, shure. Currently I run Mutter instead of Metacity. The questions is: does Ubuntu TV use/needs a windows manager?
[20:17] <tgm4883> IDK, Is there any particular reason it shouldn't have one?
[20:21] <burli> IDK?
[20:24] <tgm4883> I Don't Know
[20:25] <burli> ah, ok
[20:26] <burli> the reason is, there are no "windows". As far as I can see there is just a full screen background for the video and a full screen overlay for the Dash
[20:27] <tgm4883> AFAIK, you can still launch applications
[20:27] <tgm4883> it has the possibility to be much more than a TV
[20:28] <burli> thats what I try to find out
[20:30] <burli> maybe my laptop will crash now. brb ;)
[20:30] <popey> not sure these things have been decided
[20:32] <burli> still alive
[20:34] <burli> popey, probably not
