[ACTIVITY] Mobile Activity Report for March 12-18

2009-03-19 Thread Tobin Davis
= OliverGrawert =
== public ==
* bug: #336770 confirmed to be fixed (did several time consuming test
installs on NSLU2) (4-8h each)
* bug: #328167 still no further findings, upstream of
gnome-keyring-daemon didnt answer yet ...
* assemble and release first hand-rolled babbage image on
http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/arm/babbage/
* researching breakage with imx51 kernel if aufs/apparmor is enabled in
the kernel
* researching issue with useradd enforcing password update if "last
changed" field in /etc/shadow is zero (which breaks livefs builds on
systems where the clock is at 01011970)

= PaulLarson =
== Mobile/Testing ==
* Started mirroring daily MID and UNR builds locally
* Received an Eee 900 - installed current UNR build on it
* Installed current UNR build a Dell mini 9 I also have at home
* Phone meeting with lool to discuss objectives
* Exchanged some email with Chris Gregan about QA and Testplans in
general
* Performed some ad-hoc testing on UNR with two different netbooks
* Bugs opened:
  * 341756 - gnome-display-properties crashed with SIGSEGV in strlen()
  * 33 - netbook-launcher slow on eee 900
  * 39 - Installer puts up confusing message about partitions in use
  * 344884
- /var/lib/python-support/python2.6/sqlalchemy/ext/activemapper.py:262:
SyntaxWarning: assertion is always true, perhaps remove parentheses?

= MichaelCasadevall =
== ARM==
  * Did a quick and dirty packaging an arm-none-eabi binutils/gcc which
proved to be unne
  * Hacked up RedBoot to build with native ARM toolchain
  * Packaged both FSL's RedBoot and ecosconfig and
redboot-imx/ecosconfig-imx
  * Received FFes for both packages, and uploaded (passed REVU and NEW
queue)
  * Wrote MIRs for both, pending action from ubuntu-mir
  * Began researching d-i port for imx51

= LoïcMinier =
== ARM ==
* More fis/fconfig work, good progress but underestimated the task at
hand and some issues such as the fact that default config entries differ
from platform to platform, as well as endianness and type sizes; almost
done with an implementation doing the fconfig -i equivalent
* Continued pushing for and discussing a native build of RedBoot, gave
remote access to slangasek who nicely offered to help; NCommander got it
to work, but it's hackish in that it's linked to libc.a
* Worked on NEON hwcaps support in the kernel also aimed at glibc; had
to request last minute inclusion of two (trivial) 2.6.29 patches and
discover later that the Babbage hardware we currently have has a broken
NEON implementation which allows some userspace programs to crash the
board; the kernel's NEON bits aren't affected though
* Got back on the ffmpeg runtime NEON detection threads
* Worked with IS on updating the kernel of the Armel builds and porter
box for a) VFP fixes and b) NEON hwcaps; asked ARM how to workaround
forcing the board id as we do

== Misc ==
* Touched base with Steve and David on UNR planning for karmic
* Made debian-maintainers buildable under Ubuntu thanks to hint from
Colin, sent changes to Debian
* Spent some time giving initial goals to Paul and presenting our high
level objectives and compiling some information to get started
* Tested a new patch for SVDO DPMS issues on my G33 board
* Debugged the glibc assertion errors further with Aurélien; Debian has
a couple of patches to fix this now thanks to Aurélien
* Tested two KVM fixes for display glitches
* Fixed powernowd errors in init script caused by the new
module-init-tools

= SteveKowalik =
== Misc ==
* Thursday archive admin duties
* Alpha-6 testing for MID and UNR
* Fix python-hildondesktop since it was horribly broken, and nurse MID
back to health
* A little NBS work.

= Tobin Davis =
== Mobile ==
* Continued testing of MID and UNR images
* Setup of virtual machines for automation test development and LSB
testing environment
* Filed bug #345126 - Installer on UNR image creates too small swap
partition (384M on 1G system)
* Floated idea of dynamic swap file vs dedicated partition on Warthogs
mailing list.  Several advantages over dedicated partition, especially
on MID/Netbook systems with limited storage.

Your application must provide an XDG .desktop file with the
appropriate Categories entry.  Either compare with similar application,
or review the specification (1).

Lets face facts if you had a virus that needed 2 gig of ram to run
properly you may notice that you'd been infected :)

looking for a MID

2009-03-19 Thread (``-_-´´) -- BUGabundo
I'm looking to get a MID in the (really) near future to replace my 2,5 old 
SonyEricson K600i.

I refuse to get and IPhone (no mater how good it can get with 3.0 firmware), 
and OpenMoko FR is too much geek time consuming.

What can you guys recommend from the devices available in Europe that can run 
some FOSS OS, preferably Ubuntu.

I've hear about "SmartQ 5" but dont have any clues about its performance or 
connectivity.

Thanks in advance.

One thing I can tell you:
Jaunty brings multitouch to pretty much every laptop around.
If the UNR doesnt have it yes, jaunty build will.
