[01:16] <karthikeyan> Hello everyone
[01:17] <karthikeyan> I am Karthikeyan and new here.
[01:17] <karthikeyan> I'd like to contribute to Ubuntu
[01:20] <average_guy> hello karthikeyan and welcome
[01:20] <average_guy> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam  is the place to start
[01:20] <karthikeyan> average_guy
[01:20] <karthikeyan> thanks
[04:47] <pitti> elopio: reviewed
[04:47] <pitti> elopio: not sure how much my +1 is worth, as I'm not an official system-settings dev, but there you are :)
[04:47] <pitti> (and it's a trivial fix, too)
[13:50] <Nothing_Much> Are there specified prerequisites for testing Ubuntu Touch and Unity 8?
[14:33] <balloons> Nothing_Much, for ubuntu touch, phablet hw is really helpful
[14:33] <balloons> for unity8, there's live cd's, or you can install it in utopic
[14:54] <Nothing_Much> balloons: phablet hardware would require a nexus device, right?
[14:55] <deepubuntu> balloons: Can I use testing version of ubuntu in the pen-drive and boot from PD(pen Drive) into laptop
[14:57] <balloons> deepubuntu, certainly!
[14:58] <deepubuntu> thanks balloons downloading it 1.1 GB don't you think official 14.10 was 931 MB
[14:58] <balloons> Nothing_Much, atm yes.. but very soon we will have hardware from our oem partners
[14:58] <balloons> real ubuntu phones if you will
[15:00] <Nothing_Much> balloons: Awesome, can't wait, but when will they be shipping in the US?
[15:03] <Nothing_Much> Oh darn, I don't think Mir is supported on Virtualbox :(
[15:04] <balloons> Nothing_Much, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity8DesktopIso
[15:04] <Nothing_Much> double darn
[15:10] <Nothing_Much> Well thankfully, I have a spare nvidia PC right next to me! :D
[15:27] <Nothing_Much> \
[15:36] <balloons> Nothing_Much, a spare pc is very helpful for this
[15:40] <Nothing_Much> Well unfortunately, Unity 8 isn't working on my spare PC either :(
[15:41] <balloons> Nothing_Much, ohh why not?
[15:42] <Nothing_Much> balloons: black screen and flashing cursor
[15:43] <Nothing_Much> but as soon as I log into the Unity 8 session on this desktop, the mouse pointer appears for a few seconds, then the cursor appears, then the mouse disappears
[15:43] <Nothing_Much> And everything's fully updated, upgraded, and dist-upgraded
[15:47] <Nothing_Much> oh hang on
[15:47] <Nothing_Much> Is xmir required?
[15:49] <balloons> Nothing_Much, did you try the live image?
[15:50] <Nothing_Much> Nope, assumed that the installed version would be the same
[15:50] <Nothing_Much> lemme try that
[15:51] <Nothing_Much> balloons: I don't see it in the tracker
[15:52] <Nothing_Much> http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/315/builds/75839/downloads
[15:57] <Nothing_Much> Hang on, is it supposed to be a complete desktop session or a Window within the Unity 7 desktop?
[15:57] <balloons> Nothing_Much, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-desktop-next/daily-live/current/
[16:00] <Nothing_Much> Ah okay
[16:00] <Nothing_Much> 1 hour left..
[16:01] <balloons> Nothing_Much, if that still has trouble, on real hardware, do submit a bug. They would love to hear the feedback
[16:06] <Nothing_Much> balloons: yeah but that was installed on a desktop
[16:06] <Nothing_Much> what I also asked was if it was a desktop session or a window within the Unity 7 desktop
[16:07] <Nothing_Much> by typing in unity8 in the terminal, unity 8 will show up in a phone sized window
[16:14] <Nothing_Much> Are there torrents for Unity 8? Because this is taking forever and it's throttling my internet :(
[16:18] <balloons> Nothing_Much, mm.. not sure on the desktop-next cd.
[16:18] <balloons> Nothing_Much, it should be a full desktop session
[16:22] <Nothing_Much> balloons: Oh okay, so that's a problem I'm having with the nouveau drivers on an AMD CPU with 2GB DDR2 RAM
[16:23] <Nothing_Much> Geforce 9300GE
[16:25] <balloons> Nothing_Much, are you saying noveau doesn't work for you?
