[18:21] Hi all! Charles, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. @ work (Computer Recycling). [18:22] What Display Server does the Phone OS use (Xorg)? [18:22] Will the phone OS be compatible with all my standard Linux Programs? [18:23] Will I have a Root Shell and be able to use apt-get and have access to the reposed I currently use? [18:23] Will I be able to develop with Python and use things like GTK and PyGame? [18:23] I was wondering that too, or if the phone companies would be like they are now [18:23] with android and ios [18:24] Fah, gtg. I'm at work... [18:32] QUESTION: when is going RO [18:32] sorry [18:32] QUESTION: when is ROM going to be published ? :) [18:32] #question What Display Server does the Phone OS use (Xorg)? [18:33] i ask the same question as before; recently, the search results in Dash is sended to Amazon. I don't care how encryped the information is, it is still my private searches. Can I be sure that NO INFOMATION at all is sednded to Amazon or any third parties if I turn off logging in the System Setting, or must I log my own outgoing traffic? [18:34] QUESTION: with ubuntu phone using QT do you plan to move away from gnome/gtk on the desktop? === Dana is now known as Guest26632 [18:35] appreciate that :) [18:36] #QUESTION Will the phone OS be compatible with all my standard Linux Programs? [18:36] Why? Why make an announcement now for a phone build that is so far out? How are we to stay excited? [18:37] QUESTION: are there (already) any plans concerning root access limitations for Ubuntu Phone OS? I mean tricks similar to what may be observed on Android, where you need to grant yourself root access in order to modify OS's core components, which voids warranty - this makes sense as it is a way to prevent users from screwing up system stuff., but results in the OS not being completely *open*, as some things can't be done by any application, and [18:37] need to be done by something build-in into OS instead. Are there plans to keep Ubuntu Phone open in this matter, or will mobile manufacturers/vendors be able to lock down the phone by limiting root access?
