Aki-ThinkpadRats07:06
Aki-ThinkpadI missed my chance to hate on meamo07:06
TomTheGeekha07:06
Aki-ThinkpadThats really cruel07:06
Aki-ThinkpadI should go to #arch and ask if ubuntu is better than arch, and then leave right after :P07:07
TomTheGeekterrible07:07
TomTheGeeki actually liked arch until they removed the installer framework07:07
Aki-ThinkpadTomTheGeek, its been awhile since I used it. I use ubuntu though for unity, although I suppose you could get it working on arch as well07:07
TomTheGeeksomeone prolly ported it over somehow07:08
Aki-Thinkpadif only people knew why the hud is so great :P07:09
TomTheGeekholy crap i was right07:10
TomTheGeekthere is a port of it on the arch user repo07:10
Aki-ThinkpadTomTheGeek, they love the goods ~07:13
Aki-ThinkpadTomTheGeek, now, do they have mir?07:13
TomTheGeekAki-Thinkpad, yes, there is a unoffical port on their user repo system07:14
Aki-Thinkpado_O nice work arch guys07:15
TomTheGeeki had lightdm running on my old linux machine haha07:15
Aki-ThinkpadTomTheGeek, are you working on any applications for touch?07:16
TomTheGeekAki-Thinkpad, i'm screwing around with a port of it with my phone. some awesome dev got trusty to work on the d2att07:17
Aki-ThinkpadTomTheGeek, oh nice! Ive only run touch on one device, and it was a developers preview07:17
Aki-ThinkpadI was still really impressed.07:17
TomTheGeekyeah, back then i was running that on my old htc ace (desire hd/inspire 4g)07:18

Aki-ThinkpadTomTheGeek, how does it run now? Have you thought about app development? I'm just going through the qml tutorials now07:21
Aki-Thinkpadtook me a bit to find the best one to start on07:21
TomTheGeekAki-Thinkpad, i'm working on updating the thing to the latest packages. It runs well, aside from a few buttons not working and some other functions07:22
Aki-ThinkpadTomTheGeek, Wait, do you actually understand how to do all that kernel android stuff?07:22
TomTheGeekAki-Thinkpad, naw, i know how to build cyanogenmod and that's it.07:23
Aki-ThinkpadTomTheGeek, that stuff is so incredibly complicated; I tried taking my hand at porting a device, but having no previous experience with android, it was way too overwhelming07:24

TomTheGeekAki-Thinkpad, yeah, i learned over time. it's really time comsuming when you gotta download 15+ gigs of android trees07:27

Carbon14hi07:55
Carbon14can someone help me please08:04
Aki-ThinkpadCarbon14, hmmm?08:12
Carbon14whats the difference beetwen ubuntu-touch and ubuntu-touch-preview08:13
Carbon14where I can find find the info? or do you know?08:14
Aki-ThinkpadCarbon14, if I am not mistaken, the touch preview is basically something you would take to a demonstration08:14
Aki-Thinkpadwhere as the touch will basically be the latest branch08:14
Aki-ThinkpadCarbon14, What are you trying to do?08:14
Carbon14try the ubuntu touch on my android but i dont know what version to use08:17
Aki-ThinkpadCarbon14, what you need to do is find your phone, because each one uses a different issue08:18
Aki-ThinkpadCarbon14, unless you have like a nexus, or something.08:18
Carbon14nexus 4 wgy?08:18
Carbon14why?08:18
Carbon14rooted with customrecovery08:19
Aki-ThinkpadCarbon14, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices08:19
Aki-ThinkpadCarbon14, well you have a goodish phone then to do it on08:19
Aki-ThinkpadCarbon14, for example, I had a barnes and noble nook; the image that is available for that one was over a year old08:20
Carbon14but for nexus 4 whats the diferance08:20
Carbon14I can use brand new version?08:20
Aki-ThinkpadCarbon14, it all depends what version has been made available for the device08:22
Aki-Thinkpadbecause each device is kind of unique, so it needs ubuntu-touch to be more or less tailored for it08:23
Aki-Thinkpadsec08:23
Carbon14but ubuntu-touch is like I install totaly a new os but ubuntu-touch-preview is like I install a new rom?08:23
Aki-ThinkpadCarbon14, TBH, I don't want to give you bad advice, so I do not really know where the project is at yet08:24
Aki-Thinkpadbut I "THINK" you are not too far off. I "THINK" initially, the touch was basically an android hack until they got mir working to where they want it.08:25
Aki-Thinkpadbut I am vague on the details08:25
Aki-ThinkpadCarbon14, Uhmm, what would be really good actually is to post this question on AskUbuntu, because when other people ask the same question, they will see the post as well08:26
Carbon14on what?08:27
Carbon14on askubuntu?08:28
Carbon14whats that?08:28
Aki-ThinkpadCarbon14, Its a stackexchange for ubuntu08:30
