[00:40] <kfx> hi all, is there a reason ubuntu-mobile uses devilspie instead of the "maximize" setting in the put plugin for compiz?
[00:41] <persia> Mostly to offer compatibility for people like me who can't run compiz, I think.
[00:41] <persia> Might be other reasons though.
[00:42] <kfx> makes sense
[00:42] <ogra> yes, devilspie works with both WMs
[00:42] <kfx> it confused me because it defaults to compiz but then re-implemens some plugin functionality with devilspie :)
[00:42] <Hobbsee> yay, devilspie!
[00:42] <Hobbsee> ogra: did you fix rss-glx yesterday?
[00:43] <ogra> Hobbsee, no, other packages came in my way
[00:43] <ogra> its some issue with the location of config.sub/.guess/ltmain.sh
[00:43] <Hobbsee> ogra: yes, i was looking into it last night.  Mind if i steal it from you?
[00:43] <ogra> no biggie i guess 
[00:43] <ogra> not at all !
[00:44] <Hobbsee> :)
[00:44] <ogra> :)
[00:44] <Hobbsee> ogra: i'll come begging for help, if required?  :P
[00:44] <ogra> sure
[00:44] <Hobbsee> cool :)
[00:44]  * Hobbsee doesn't really know what she's doing, from a libtool, etc, perspective, but sees that it does require a merge as well.
[00:46] <ogra> ah, yeah, i didnt even bother to look at the merge list, only tried to fix all FTBFS on arm with the quickest hacks possible
[00:46] <ogra> 90% of the package will be updated anyway
[00:46] <ogra> *packages
[00:47] <Hobbsee> that's true
[01:33] <NCommander> Hobbsee, what merge?
[01:33]  * NCommander would be glad to teach
[01:33] <Hobbsee> NCommander: rss-glx.  ahven't looked at it yet
[01:33] <Hobbsee> NCommander: give me time :)
[01:34] <NCommander> ?
[01:36] <Hobbsee> as in, i may be able to figure it out myself
[01:43] <NCommander> ah
[03:14] <charlespax> Will there be any new mid or umpc images released for the jaunty alpha?
[03:39] <charlespax> Is this the right place to discuss the lpia images or is just mid and umpc?
[03:46] <playya> doko, have you tried bootstrapping with cdebootstrap?
[03:46] <playya> it always says : E: Unknown suite jaunty
[07:07] <Ze_> Is anybody familiar with setting up HAL for serial touch screens? (or serial devices)
=== doko_ is now known as doko
[07:08] <playya> good morning everyone
[07:42] <Ze_> morning (well afternoon in oz)

[18:05] <theidealist> Hello anyone, new to ubuntu-mobile, was wondering if anyone in the chat now had a good sense of the UMPC boot process.  I've got a custom compile of qemu I'm trying to run it on.  I'm wondering what root and/or boot params I need to pass it (a grub menu.lst file would be great).  My qemu is booting with coreboot and FILO as the bootloader.  I've managed to get other distros to boot but am having problem with the mobile (UMPC, not MID) img.  Any
