We did this originally, but with the new "xinit" script we are not able to run the UI inside Xephyr run from the workstation terminal. The command we run now is: xinit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- /usr/bin/Xephyr :2 -host-cursor -screen 1024x600x32 -dpi 96 -ac Suggestions on how to fix this back to the previous way would be nice and not require us to re-install Xephyr every time we make a target.

Software updates
I've uploaded a few new packages this week. The first is telepathy-haze. This is a telepathy contact manager based on libpurple, the protocol library provided by Pidgin (formerly gaim). This provides a fairly solid implementation of the MSN and AIM protocols which are usable by any telepathy client. Empathy and derivatives need new profiles to be able to make use of this - I've updated the empathy package in Ubuntu to contain these. The package is currently in the NEW queue, but should be available early next week. The second is contacts-snapshot. This is a copy of the current development branch of Opened Hand's contacts application, chosen because it has some basic Hildon support. There's currently no widget for adding or editing contacts, but I'll be working with upstream over the weekend to implement some of this with a bit of luck. Again, this is currently in the NEW queue. Finally, I've added hildon support to cheese. This is a simple photography application which is also able to apply effects to photographs. There's some basic level of video recording there as well, but we probably want to consider whether that's going to make sense on the target platforms. I've thrown a screenshot up at http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/hildon/cheese_hildon.png and uploaded the source to Ubuntu. The hildon interface is only built for the lpia architecture. This is already in the archive, but the lpia package isn't built yet - hildon support is provided in version 0.2.2-0ubuntu2. Once these are all available and built, I'll take a look at updating the seeds to install some of them by default. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile

I tried "$ xhost > +localhost" but couldn't get the target terminal to connect. A somewhat (though not perfectly) safer way of doing this is to launch Xephyr in your host system with the -ac argument. This disables access control for Xephyr, which should let you connect from inside the target chroot. Anyone with access to your system will be able to watch anything you do inside the Xephyr session, but that's much less likely to cause you security issues. Ideally, generate an authentication file inside the development environment and then run Xephyr with the -auth argument to tell it to use that authentication file. That way there's a shared secret between the clients and Xephyr, which prevents any information leakage. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
