Apr 06 06:28:25 well, they have a blogs section (which your probably already saw), but if you want lots and lots of updates, you could follow them on meego.gitorious.org Apr 06 06:28:38 ok thx Apr 06 06:28:46 ill have a look Apr 06 06:28:49 the mailing lists would probably provide lots of info too Apr 06 06:29:56 hope the tdevelopment goes well you developer guys rock keep up the good work :) Apr 06 06:30:25 <- not a dev Apr 06 06:30:26 im waiting for the UI then as im only user Apr 06 06:30:31 just hanging out :) Apr 06 06:30:43 hehe Apr 06 06:31:22 a.so on n900? Apr 06 06:31:46 also? sorry tiny keys Apr 06 07:23:40 hi Apr 06 07:24:34 hello Apr 06 07:38:42 hello hurdman and Stskeeps Apr 06 07:57:50 morning all Apr 06 08:02:19 morning slaine Apr 06 08:03:24 morning slaine Apr 06 08:03:32 hey guys Apr 06 08:03:45 back to the slog today after a nice long weekend Apr 06 08:03:52 :) Apr 06 08:10:35 Morning, all Apr 06 08:12:16 hello Jaffa Apr 06 08:13:35 Stskeeps: seem my repo bug was fixed Apr 06 08:14:07 gnome-python2-canvas is now part of the repo so the installer package installs correctly Apr 06 08:14:16 good Apr 06 08:15:23 bugĀ #422 cresolved/fixed Apr 06 09:46:32 Woohoo, Joggler's arrived. At home, though. Apr 06 09:46:44 woo :) Apr 06 09:48:57 Unfortunately, they don't offer Jogglers here in Germany. Apr 06 10:58:51 mmeeks: you about ? Apr 06 11:00:23 slaine: yes indeed - whatsup ? :-) Apr 06 11:00:51 just wondering about that CPU Architecture discussion on the dev list Apr 06 11:01:19 I know you've done a lot of work with compilers and optimization on the OOo code base, so was interested in hearing your thoughts Apr 06 11:01:42 To me, the requirement for having ssse3 on the cpu is a PITA Apr 06 11:02:34 I've a bunch of older hardware that I'd have liked to use Moblin/MeeGo. There's a lot of that hardware still be sold for industrial PC's etc. Apr 06 11:03:07 Doess 586+ssse3 really give that much of a benefit over 686+sse2 ? Apr 06 11:03:49 And if 586+ssse3 has such an advantage over generic builds, what does that mean for ARM Apr 06 11:04:38 ARMv7 <> ARMv5 should be quite a difference, considering NEON.. Apr 06 11:04:42 It's using the same code but doesn't have those IA extensions to benefit from. I'm sure ARM has some sort of SIMD instructions but will it offer similar levels of performance Apr 06 11:05:06 * CosmoHill pokes slaine Apr 06 11:05:06 Yes, ius NEON is the ARM SIMD instruction set right ? Apr 06 11:05:20 CosmoHill: yup ? Apr 06 11:05:34 i have a x86 meego vdi image for virtualbox Apr 06 11:05:35 ::) Apr 06 11:05:35 Yes. Apr 06 11:05:39 i need to test it hto Apr 06 11:05:41 tho* Apr 06 11:06:01 CosmoHill: I saw, well done. Did you use mrec's guide or make some mods yourself ? Apr 06 11:06:13 i used mrec's guide Apr 06 11:06:24 _Sky_ has made a new one with his own kernel Apr 06 11:06:47 this should have better support than the one made using mrec's guide Apr 06 11:07:13 What did he change in the kernel to make it work ? Apr 06 11:07:26 i think i was just the processor option Apr 06 11:08:35 Wonder did anyone log a bug on that issue Apr 06 11:08:55 bbl, I'm gonna test the new image Apr 06 11:10:35 hi,how can i develop meego application under windows Apr 06 11:14:29 ToArtist: Start using Qt and you should be able to port over Apr 06 11:15:34 yeah,I am using qt,but i don't have the environment of meego Apr 06 11:16:29 There's no official SDK at the moment Apr 06 11:17:01 is there any ui specs? resolution and stuff Apr 06 11:17:03 when can i get it?? Apr 06 11:17:06 I was wonder if you could mix and match the Moblin SDK with Qt dev to get an approximation. I've no idea how it all works on Windows though as I use Linux for dev Apr 06 11:17:13 Anssi||: not yet Apr 06 11:17:23 it does not so much to sense start developing without some sort ui specs Apr 06 11:17:23 ToArtist: get what, Moblin SDK > Apr 06 11:17:41 Anssi||: Well, a wild bit of specilation would be that the res and screen size of the n900 is the smallest MeeGo display :) Apr 06 11:17:54 and 1024x600 for netbooks Apr 06 11:17:57 slaine: the new vdi is good :) Apr 06 11:17:57 something like the develop of maemo Apr 06 11:17:58 Anssi||: But, that is of course simply wild speculation ;) Apr 06 11:21:36 http://cross-lfs.org/~cosmo/meego/meego-x86.vdi :) Apr 06 11:21:54 lol Apr 06 11:22:36 * CosmoHill stabs netgear with a swordfish Apr 06 11:22:37 brb Apr 06 11:26:06 back Apr 06 11:35:05 i come back,who knows callingallinnovators??Can I develop applications for Meego?? Apr 06 11:36:19 Applications are made in Qt, so if it will work on meamo is should work in meego i think Apr 06 11:37:15 :) thanks Apr 06 11:42:36 I don't think meego will have Qt until 1.1 Apr 06 11:44:38 uh, it already has qt in repos doesn't it Apr 06 11:44:44 ^ Apr 06 11:44:49 as far as I know that's the case Apr 06 11:45:37 yup Apr 06 11:45:45 4.6.1 Apr 06 11:46:40 (4.6.2 is out, and 4.6.3 is on the way sometime I'd guess, I wonder why that's behind the official release) Apr 06 13:26:58 /q diegobz Apr 06 13:45:14 hello Apr 06 13:54:42 * CosmoHill orders district 9 Apr 06 14:13:28 what is BUILD_ARCH target for arm? Apr 06 14:20:24 * CosmoHill goes to cut the grass, bbl Apr 06 14:56:51 Stskeeps: hmmm, the installer seems to be missing a font it can use on x Apr 06 14:57:37 install xfonts-something Apr 06 15:00:07 * CosmoHill returns Apr 06 15:01:46 hey, how do you recommend I run the X-server? I'm running the live usb image for netbooks Apr 06 15:01:59 startx? Apr 06 15:02:07 not found Apr 06 15:02:11 try Apr 06 15:02:15 zypper install xorg-* Apr 06 15:02:28 (if it goes wrong, i take no responsibility :) ) Apr 06 15:04:42 ah, so its a packaging issue.. thanks. Do you know if meego uses xdm/gdm/kdm? Apr 06 15:04:44 Stskeeps: I'll take a look Apr 06 15:05:10 Jontte: it'll use none of those Apr 06 15:05:15 uxlaunch Apr 06 15:05:23 I see Apr 06 15:05:34 Though, for a dev env, you can install gdm/XFCE Apr 06 15:18:51 * CosmoHill reads about vmware workstation vs virtualbox Apr 06 15:22:22 open source fanatics go for the latter Apr 06 15:23:02 It has all the features I'll ever need, at least. Apr 06 15:25:09 Except for USB support, which is only in the closed source version Apr 06 15:25:24 I used to have vmware server IIRC but for some reason after a clean install it wouldn't workl Apr 06 15:25:25 true Apr 06 15:25:28 so I changed to virtualbox Apr 06 15:25:35 SATA drivers too Apr 06 15:31:31 I wonder when the virtualbox boot screen will be rebranded to orcal Apr 06 15:31:48 how advanced is the meego installer when it comes to resizing partitions? Apr 06 15:32:19 I'm trying to install meego as a tertiary OS on my netbook Apr 06 15:32:38 I have no idea since I can't get the installer to boot Apr 06 15:32:42 CosmoHill: "orcal"? Apr 06 15:32:48 Oracle Apr 06 15:32:55 ah ^^ Apr 06 15:32:59 Jontte: there is an installer? Apr 06 15:33:01 I don't think so. Apr 06 15:33:02 Not yet. Apr 06 15:33:24 okay, the boot up menu says something about direct install but I guess I shouldn't try that then? Apr 06 15:34:24 No idea :) Apr 06 15:34:33 * Jontte gets his hands dirty with fdisk Apr 06 15:34:35 Try it.. Apr 06 15:34:39 You'll see how it works out. Apr 06 15:34:49 But it's not really mass-consumable right now anyway from what i know. Apr 06 15:34:52 Jontte: is this the 2nd or 3rd option down? Apr 06 15:35:03 second yes Apr 06 15:35:40 first one being live boot and the third one directing to local boot Apr 06 15:40:07 oh snap, I've just seen the prices fo virtual box Apr 06 15:40:11 the one you have to pay for Apr 06 15:42:55 may I be the first to say "ha!" Apr 06 15:48:24 ooo, vmware player is free and you can create virtual machines now Apr 06 16:14:17 has anyone got meego runing on aspire one ? Apr 06 16:14:29 I had it going Apr 06 16:14:36 not much more than a console though Apr 06 16:14:53 hmmm all i seem to get is a local host login screen Apr 06 16:15:00 that's all it is Apr 06 16:15:03 at this point a tleast Apr 06 16:15:27 pretty splash images at boot and power down though Apr 06 16:19:23 you can install x11 i think Apr 06 16:27:03 hahahah Apr 06 16:27:25 there is a website company that will change you $100 to fix w3c coding errors in your website Apr 06 16:27:49 nice Apr 06 16:27:59 CosmoHill, then start a site offering $99 solutions :p Apr 06 16:29:34 * w00t_ charges lcuk $98 for being a special customer Apr 06 16:30:31 I'm trying to test preview images Apr 06 16:30:48 arm or x86? Apr 06 16:30:54 just downloaded meego-preview-aava-core-20100330-001.tar.bz2 Apr 06 16:30:59 but don't know how to use it Apr 06 16:31:13 I'm in Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit Apr 06 16:31:54 also have meego-preview-netbook-core-20100330-001.usbimg Apr 06 16:32:33 tried to run it with qemu, but got a kernel panic Apr 06 16:33:51 do you have virtualbox installed? Apr 06 16:33:55 yep Apr 06 16:35:18 one mo Apr 06 16:35:38 http://cross-lfs.org/~cosmo/meego/meego-x86.vdi Apr 06 16:36:48 cosmo, thank you!!! Apr 06 16:36:58 how can we have that image added to meego's wiki? Apr 06 16:37:06 er, Apr 06 16:37:17 download and see if it works first Apr 06 16:38:18 usbimg paniced in qemu for me also, on a couple of machines Apr 06 16:38:35 CosmoHill: ping Apr 06 16:38:48 jpwhiting: pong Apr 06 16:39:15 CosmoHill: hey, I heard you were able to get meego running in virtualbox, is that right? Apr 06 16:39:22 how it is supposed that we are going to contribute to MeeGo project, if don't have a reliable way to run it on VirtualBox or Qemu? Apr 06 16:39:48 I downloaded the meego handset image, and converted the boot and sda bins into vdi images Apr 06 16:39:53 but couldn't get either one to boot Apr 06 16:40:10 jpwhiting: http://www.sundtek.de/meego/index.txt Apr 06 16:40:18 CosmoHill: thx Apr 06 16:40:39 http://cross-lfs.org/~cosmo/meego/readme.txt Apr 06 17:15:55 CosmoHill: I downloaded and tried meego-x86.vdi Apr 06 17:16:02 :) Apr 06 17:16:08 and Boot Meego and Install only both seem to just hang Apr 06 17:16:25 boot meego display a white background Apr 06 17:16:26 I have a second image as my primary slave (meego-sda.vdi) Apr 06 17:16:36 then shows up with the login prompt Apr 06 17:16:36 no, it just stays at the grub menu Apr 06 17:16:47 did you press enter?

Apr 06 17:17:17 pae or apic or something? Apr 06 17:17:18 don't think so Apr 06 17:17:45 CosmoHill, meego starts with no X :( Apr 06 17:17:57 develCuy: that is correct Apr 06 17:18:03 there is no x11 installed by default Apr 06 17:18:11 I don't know how to install it either Apr 06 17:18:13 :S Apr 06 17:18:23 which is the graphic interface then? Apr 06 17:18:37 none yet I believe X will be though Apr 06 17:18:41 you could try "yum install xorg-*" but I get Illegal error Apr 06 17:19:05 CosmoHill: hmm, after removing my second partition (meego-sda.vdi) it still doesn't do anything after grub screen... Apr 06 17:19:22 .... Apr 06 17:19:28 so meego is just a console?! Apr 06 17:19:37 at the moment Apr 06 17:19:53 you mean your vdi? or the whole meego?
