| tiox | Figured I would come in and say hi. | 02:50 |

| tiox | Question I am sure has been asked a few times already: Could it be possible, some time in the future when Ubuntu TV really comes into fruition, to install on a PC, then make the "TV" display the primary component, with other applications running in the background, and maybe with the aid of Compiz, deferred to the other monitors? | 02:52 |
| tiox | Odd question, some clarification, could I define the primary display, and have the TV components of Ubuntu TV be on the primary while other applications go into secondary displays in the future, so, for instance, I could rock a television setup on the really big main monitor, with other monitors doing things like chatting and web viewing? Or would it be too big a strain on the system, even with today's ultra-powerful processors and vide | 02:55 |

| repete | Saviq, any thoughts on whether the Raspberry Pi will run Ubuntu TV? | 08:51 |
| popey | repete: we don't support the arm rev of rpi | 08:57 |
| repete | popey, I know we don't now, because it is ARM11 | 08:57 |
| popey | we could, if we put some engineering effort in | 08:58 |
| repete | popey, any concerns with the FPS of the GPU? | 08:58 |
| popey | i don't know enough about it, but xbmc has been demoed on it | 08:58 |
| repete | cool | 08:58 |

| Saviq | repete, AFAIK the biggest problem with the Pi is its lack of umph when it comes to CPU power | 09:07 |
| Saviq | the other issue I saw mentioned was the lack of support for their video decoding HW | 09:08 |
| Saviq | rsalveti, you should know more ^? | 09:08 |
| repete | Saviq, huh... thought I head it did hw decode of video | 09:08 |
| Saviq | repete, it does | 09:08 |
| Saviq | repete, but AFAIK we don't have the drivers | 09:09 |
| repete | right... | 09:09 |
| repete | but Debian runs on it, right? | 09:09 |
| Saviq | yes | 09:09 |
| repete | So the code must be available | 09:09 |
| Saviq | and actually the drivers part will probably be solved one way or another | 09:09 |
| repete | I know ARM11 is a blocker as well | 09:09 |
| Saviq | another issue is RAM, it only has 128/256 MB IIRC | 09:09 |
| repete | Might be a good use case for optimising | 09:09 |
| Saviq | that is wireless/wired /methinks | 09:10 |
| Saviq | i.e. if you want onboard wireless, you only get 128MB RAM | 09:10 |
| repete | right. Was just reading that both now have 256 MB, but still that is low | 09:10 |
| Saviq | oh ok so that changed | 09:10 |
| Saviq | yeah, my unity-2d-shell has 117M residual now | 09:11 |
| rsalveti | I don't think we'll support raspberry pi so soon | 14:18 |
| rsalveti | we'd need to change quite a few things to make it supported | 14:19 |
| rsalveti | if you want to run debian, you'd just need a way to have the video decode support working with qt | 14:19 |
| rsalveti | either with gstreamer or using another proprietary solution | 14:19 |
| rsalveti | didn't yet check how it's doing the video decoding | 14:19 |
