* bobweaver reads ^^ 00:41
bobweaverOk I have a couple of questions why would we use a "default image"  and Not Ubuntu  Core ?   < making ISO's00:47
bobweavermhall119,  is right the more scopes that we have the better off Ubuntu TV will be. I need help with a scope and lens. that I  am building for yourtube,  (it is just a old altered scope)   I have Ubuntu TV installed to 12.04 and the Video lens Also works from there "the stock one"00:49
bobweaverTo recap What I have been up too I made it so that all things work from the launcher (besides youtube)  I added three more launchers to the launcher00:51
bobweavercontacts00:51
bobweaverphotos00:51
bobweaverfiles and folders00:51
bobweaverFor the last tqwo day's I have been trying like heck to get "nm-applet" plugged in but with no luck00:52
bobweaverso I am building network manager from ground up00:52
bobweaverthat is going to take a bit00:52
bobweaverI am hoping to have done by sunday but we will see00:53
bobweaverthe power button runs "gnome-session-quit" Now00:53
bobweaverThings that I need HELP with are wrote down   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=198586900:55
bobweaverThou some Jack wagon thinks that they are for something else LOL00:56
bobweaverSome thing to think about Game System lens and scope that is for Good Emulators IE jpsp  pcsx2 pcsx muppen ect01:05
bobweaverstuff that still requires end user to use bios codes01:05
bobweaverOther things to think about https://code.launchpad.net/onehundredscopes01:07
bobweaverthere are some real good ones in there that should be pluged in01:08
bobweaverlike watchseries01:08
bobweaverI have pluged GroveShark into the Music lens also01:09
bobweaverBut I think that Puging in and make a ubuntu One lens and scope is so important01:13
bobweaverI should be sending video/audio logs to the mailing list  I am hoping every 3 days from now on out.01:53
tgm4883bobweaver, we're making a default image. SImilar to how mythbuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu are done02:17
tgm4883we wouldn't add in things that don't make sense for a TV distribution02:18
bobweavertgm4883, where or how can I get involved with that ? and is it being what is being used to build like core up ?02:18
bobweaverwe are talking about debian live here ?02:19
tgm4883i'm not familiar with debian live02:19
bobweaverit uses hooks and scripts to build a image02:20
bobweaverit is quite useful02:20
tgm4883it's similar I guess02:20
bobweaverIs there any docs on this or anything so that I am not spinning my wheels02:20
tgm4883There are the man pages I linked earlier02:21
bobweaverok02:21
tgm4883popey_ might know where more info is, he interviewed someone from that project on UUPC02:21
bobweaverwhat are good scopes that you think should 100% be inculded02:22
bobweaverI keep reading that canonical is waiting on corp or angles too show up02:23
tgm4883bobweaver, rather than including a bunch of scopes, IMHO I think there needs to be an easy way to install scopes02:23
bobweaverthat could be real easy with C++ QT with the framework that is already in place02:23
bobweaverbut there must be base one's right music pictures02:24
bobweavercontacts02:24
tgm4883well the issue is we need either A) the ability to install scopes to root only areas using only a remote02:24
tgm4883or more likely, B), being able to use scopes installed in the home directory02:24
bobweaverwe could just use apt yea02:24
bobweavertied into C++ QT  with xml02:25
tgm4883right, but that is something we'd have to talk to another team about02:25
bobweaverlike have a section like software center for lenses and scopes02:25
bobweaveronly ^^02:25
bobweaverI know that I like to uses the applications lens and scope more then any other but I do not have pvr/dvr card02:26
tgm4883right, but it still needs to be installable via a remote control. Which means you either need to make it have the correct permissions to do that, or install in a location where a normal user has permission02:26
bobweavercould alter sudo file ?02:27
tgm4883bobweaver, again, I think that decision is above us02:27
tgm4883probably need someone from the security team to weigh in02:27
tgm4883it's probably more likely to access scopes in the user directory02:27
tgm4883mhall119, ^^02:27
bobweaver /usr/share/unity/lenes/nameoflens02:28
tgm4883bobweaver, but a regular user can't write there02:28
bobweaverwhy write to scope or lens02:29
tgm4883to install it?02:29
bobweaverso have key combo's for remote ?02:30
bobweaverto use sudo02:30
tgm4883yes that is one option02:30
bobweaverbefore one can even open up the ubuntu tv software center02:30
bobweaverso little johhny can not go get pron02:30
bobweaverporn *02:31
bobweaverthat would also take care of channels but IMHO they whole EGP needs to be looked at again02:31
bobweaverI want to spend more time testing your lens and try to intergrate some others02:32
bobweaverohh time :)02:33
bobweaverI want to learn more about unity-shell and see if there is a way to cut back on some of the code. If it is possible to even only have formfactor tv  and No formfactor desktop02:34
bobweaverIf so then can the core be altered to metacity02:37
bobweaverI wanted to get icons and what not before I pushed code but I am going to also do that tonight02:39

mhall119tgm4883: what was that discussion about sudo?11:55
tgm4883mhall119, we were discussing scopes and thinking there needs to be a way to install them via remotes. Which means you either need to authenticate somehow with the remote or scopes need to be able to be installed in the home directory14:02
mhall119tgm4883: they will be installable the same way any software would be installed through the software center14:04
mhall119presumably USC will be made remote-navigable14:04
tgm4883mhall119, you still have to put a password into it though14:04
tgm4883which if you have a remote, kinda sucks14:04
mhall119depends, I don't know how the user setup will be on TVs14:05
jhodapptgm4883: what if you had a boxee-like remote with keyboard on the back?14:05
tgm4883jhodapp, I don't think you can count on that14:05
mhall119tgm4883: with TVs being single-user and not having a login screen, it may be as simple as having a 4-digit pin14:05
jhodappof course not, but then you can fall back to an on screen keyboard14:06
mhall119or a modified gksudo that doesn't need a password but still requires user confirmation14:06
jhodappindeed14:06
mhall119at any rate, privilege escalation is something that will need to be resolves system-wide, so you should not have to worry about that when working on your lenses and scopes14:07
tgm4883mhall119, right. This comes from us talking about what scopes should be on the live disk, and I said they should be installable14:08
tgm4883and discussion from there14:08

bobweaverThe more that I keep thinking about permissions and and all this other stuff(lens and what not). The more I keep thinking that people are going to want a keyboard of somekind16:13
bobweaverI mean people are going to want *everything* that ubuntu offers all ready16:14
bobweaverwhy not just add more16:14
bobweaverI like the boxy remote but I also like the idea of any remote I mean I am poor and I can not afford a remote that is $  so I think that it is best to think from that stand point16:16
bobweaverlike yeah the software is free but ...16:16
bobweaveranother idea is to make daemon that is ties into Ubuntu One and you Launchpad account16:17
bobweaverget rid of the passwords and only sign in once16:18
bobweaverbut there is security matters to that as well but it is a option16:18
bobweaverC++ and QT can handle just about every thing too ?16:19
bobweaverbut I think that  SSO +LP + U.One that would work16:21
bobweavermodifed of cource16:21
bobweaveror landscape IDK maybe if we tie everything together there will be a big knot16:24
bobweaverIDK I have been up for a long time know. maybe If I sleep then that will be good. On a postive side of things I have all the layout done (.qml) for the indicators not just to tie in commands16:28
bobweavergood night everybody :)16:28
jhodappgoodnight bobweaver16:31
