| [08:24] <DanaG> The FAQ really doesn't cover how to go about installing Ubuntu-Mobile in a VM, which is i386 architecture. The lpia kernel lacks the pcnet driver that Virtualbox emulates. | |
| [08:29] <DanaG> And "mccaslin-lpia' and 'menlow-lpia' are not very descriptive, either. | |
| [08:38] <DanaG> Or rather, they may be very descriptive if you look up those terms, but they're not self-defining. | |
| [08:38] <amitk> DanaG: For x86 compatibility, you want to use the mccaslin kernels (I assume you are trying the moblin ones) | |
| [08:40] <DanaG> Well, I'm not sure where to start. | |
| [08:40] <DanaG> I installed a base ubuntu console system in Virtualbox, and installed the ubuntu-mobile metapackage, but it seems that's not a correct way of doing it. | |
| [08:41] <DanaG> But while I was at it, I tried the -ume kernel, and I noticed that it lacks the pcnet32 module needed for the VM's ethernet adapter. | |
| [08:41] <DanaG> Is there a specific list somewhere, describing the difference between the -ume and the -generic kernels? | |
| [08:42] <DanaG> Oh, and I'm on Hardy, but I could also try it from Gutsy in a VM if that'd make things better. | |
| [08:43] <amitk> DanaG: Gutsy will definitely improve things, Hardy is still a bit raw and the compat version isn't even working. | |
| [08:44] <amitk> DanaG: In Ubuntu, you will find 'lpia' and 'lpiacompat' flavours of the kernel. I guess you know which one to try. | |
| [08:44] <amitk> I am not sure about the pcnet32 though.. let me check. | |
| [08:45] <DanaG> Looking in the package manager on the host, the only result for '-lpia' is xen-hypervisor-lpia. | |
| [08:46] <DanaG> If possible, I'd like to run the bootstrap without having to do a full Ubuntu install in a VM.... but oh yeah, I already have the base there. I guess I can start the image builder in that system. | |
| [08:52] <amitk> DanaG: Exactly. Run image-creator inside your Gutsy or Hardy system - it should create the needed rootstrap for you | |
| [08:54] <DanaG> Aah, I'll have to do that tomorrow when I'm on campus -- 3 megabits at home doesn't cut it, but even WiFi at school (if the servers are fast enough) will work well. | |
| [08:58] <DanaG> I'm glad Virtualbox has USB support -- that'll let me hand a 'pegasus'-based USB ethernet adapter to the guest. | |
| [09:31] <dholbach> hey seb128 :) | |
| [09:32] <dholbach> hey amitk :) | |
| [09:32] <seb128> hello dholbach | |
| [09:32] <amitk> dholbach: Hey Daniel, Happy new year | |
| [09:32] <dholbach> to you guys too :) | |
| [09:37] <DanaG> oh yeah, dholbach: are you the one who created the 'oransun' theme? (sources.list line: deb http://daniel.holba.ch/art-builder/publish/ ./ ) | |
| [09:38] <dholbach> DanaG: no, I'm sorry - it was let me look it up | |
| [09:39] <dholbach> Iacopo Masi | |
| [09:39] <dholbach> iacopo-masi in Launchpad | |
| [09:39] <DanaG> aah. I see, the name confused me. | |
| [09:40] <DanaG> Anyway, this Zen metacity theme works well with it: http://jp.bizet.free.fr/themes/gnome.html | |
| [10:26] <asac> raji: just open a bug and ping me about it ;) | |
| [13:56] <asac> raji: i plan to do an update of nm-applet tomorrow or so btw. | |

| [22:33] <bryce> yes? | |
| [23:35] <lakrit1> hi, where can I find the source code for gnome-volume-applet? Is it the same as gnome-volume-manager? | |
| [23:36] <lakrit1> sorry, wrong channel =) | |
