Re: Ubuntu Netbook Remix beta candidate testing
On Wed, 2009-03-25 at 16:55 +0100, Javier Gálvez Guerrero wrote: Hi, Can Ubuntu Netbook Remix be installed in UMPCs? Has any UMPC tested with it or it is only for netbooks? Yes, it can be installed and works well! It helps if you increase the panel size for touch and there's also a gconf key that increases the button/widget sizing in the launcher, so it's easier to use with touchscreens (needs a restart of the launcher): gconftool-2 --set /apps/netbook-launcher/tablet_mode --type BOOL true this setting could be a bit rough around the edges, but I use UNR on my Samsung Q1 daily, and it seems fine. Regards, Neil P.S. I also find it useful to hack $your_fav_gtk_theme's gtkrc and increase the xpadding and ypadding attributes for scrollbars, checkboxes and radiobuttons, to make gnome a bit more touch-friendly :) Thanks, Javi 2009/3/25 Paul Larson paul.lar...@canonical.com There is only a short time left before 9.04 beta, but a beta candidate is available at: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/ubuntu-netbook-remix/daily-live/current/jaunty-netbook-remix-i386.img If you have a netbook, and would like to help, grab the image and a USB stick to boot from and head over to: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/test/2475 There you will find some basic test plans for testing the install of UNR.

Weird, I thought the change was made to Ubiquity's desktop file so it appeared in favourites too (I've seen it there before). I'll check today's image and file a bug if that change has been reverted. -- Neil - Pete - The launching XYZ experience is not great. = Can we bump up the priority of nailing this for our various DX efforts? - The repeated icon in the window-picker and titlebar seems unnecessary. = Have we tried just highlighting the current app in the window picker and not displaying the app icon in the title bar?

Gtk theme changes are made by setting the following gconf key to the name of a theme directory: /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme . For example, this could be set to mobilebasic or any other valid theme directory in that location/ When that key changes, the change is propagated to xsettings and, through this, all gtk apps are notified of the new theme, and they immediately redraw themselves. Gtk applications launched later launch using the new theme. Basically, we might need a theme setting dialog added to moblin-applets for users to select their favorite theme, when new theme is selected, /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme key value should be updated.

Re: moblin image creator: please wait
Hi I mailed this to Prajwal on accident. Prajwal, I found a load of errors just after I mailed this. It seems the errors do not appear when the image creator is ran from the applications menu, only when ran from console. The version is: Moblin Image Creator 0.1 (at least that's the first line in About) The errors I found are on the bottom of this post. They all say: Cannot open: No such file or directory (exept for the last one, but that's the kill app I suppose). Does this mean I am running the creator from the wrong folder? Does this mean I have to install a seemingly infinite amount of packages (the only reason it stopped is the kill. It would probably have continued for a long time, with a lot more errors. I have to kill the image creator with a force quit to make it go away. Is top posting the default on this list? (I dont realy care as long as only one is used in a thread) Thanks for taking the time Neil ./usr/bin/od tar: ./usr/bin/od: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/pwdx tar: ./usr/bin/pwdx: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/dpkg-buildpackage tar: ./usr/bin/dpkg-buildpackage: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/podchecker tar: ./usr/bin/podchecker: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/dprofpp tar: ./usr/bin/dprofpp: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/column tar: ./usr/bin/column: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/ionice tar: ./usr/bin/ionice: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/nice tar: ./usr/bin/nice: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/xargs tar: ./usr/bin/xargs: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/w.procps tar: ./usr/bin/w.procps: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/md5sum.textutils tar: ./usr/bin/md5sum.textutils: Cannot create symlink to `md5sum': No such file or directory ./usr/bin/i486-linux-gnu-gcc tar: ./usr/bin/i486-linux-gnu-gcc: Cannot create symlink to `gcc-4.1': No such file or directory ./usr/bin/addr2line tar: ./usr/bin/addr2line: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/free tar: ./usr/bin/free: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/mxtar tar: ./usr/bin/mxtar: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/pod2text tar: ./usr/bin/pod2text: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/uz tar: ./usr/bin/uz: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/yes tar: ./usr/bin/yes: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/chage tar: ./usr/bin/chage: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/logname tar: ./usr/bin/logname: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/dpkg-query tar: ./usr/bin/dpkg-query: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/perldoc tar: ./usr/bin/perldoc: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/locale tar: ./usr/bin/locale: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/uniq tar: ./usr/bin/uniq: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/splain tar: ./usr/bin/splain: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/cal tar: ./usr/bin/cal: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/cut tar: ./usr/bin/cut: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/iconv tar: ./usr/bin/iconv: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/vmstat tar: ./usr/bin/vmstat: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/localedef tar: ./usr/bin/localedef: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/expand tar: ./usr/bin/expand: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/toe tar: ./usr/bin/toe: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/mtoolstest tar: ./usr/bin/mtoolstest: Cannot create symlink to `mtools': No such file or directory ./usr/bin/prename tar: ./usr/bin/prename: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/getconf tar: ./usr/bin/getconf: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/size tar: ./usr/bin/size: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/apt-get tar: ./usr/bin/apt-get: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/ld tar: ./usr/bin/ld: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/minfo tar: ./usr/bin/minfo: Cannot create symlink to `mtools': No such file or directory ./usr/bin/piconv tar: ./usr/bin/piconv: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/mtrace tar: ./usr/bin/mtrace: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/dpkg-genchanges tar: ./usr/bin/dpkg-genchanges: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/cmp tar: ./usr/bin/cmp: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/psed tar: ./usr/bin/psed: Cannot hard link to `./usr/bin/s2p': No such file or directory ./usr/bin/partx tar: ./usr/bin/partx: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/tgz tar: ./usr/bin/tgz: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/tload tar: ./usr/bin/tload: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin/mformat tar: ./usr/bin/mformat: Cannot create symlink to `mtools': No such file or directory ./usr/bin/slabtop tar: ./usr/bin/slabtop: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./usr/bin
