[02:50] <tiox> Figured I would come in and say hi.
[02:52] <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?
[02:55] <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
[08:51] <repete> Saviq, any thoughts on whether the Raspberry Pi will run Ubuntu TV?
[08:57] <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
[08:58] <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

[09:07] <Saviq> repete, AFAIK the biggest problem with the Pi is its lack of umph when it comes to CPU power
[09:08] <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
[09:09] <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
[09:10] <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
[09:11] <Saviq> yeah, my unity-2d-shell has 117M residual now
[14:18] <rsalveti> I don't think we'll support raspberry pi so soon
[14:19] <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
