Re: Tracking delta between i386 and LPIA arches

* Steve Magoun 

| We (the folks working on Ubuntu Mobile) would like to make sure this

http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/testing-ports/hardy_outdate.txt
has an overview of out-of-date packages for main.

The format is slightly unreadable, which is unfortunate.

Can we get the last to use input hotplug in Xorg 7.3 so we don't have

| All of the statusbar plugins already have .desktop files in

Ordering can be accomplished by numbering the .conf files.

This sounds like something we should get fixed, agreed.

Development environment:

Build infrastructure:

 The lpia bootstrap is going quite well, we just recently unblocked

 archive next week.

 We also need to add (non-public) images containing proprietary flash

Re: A patch for libhildon -- for auto-launch keyboard

2007-08-15 Thread Tollef Fog Heen
* Ross Burton 

| In Poky we start the keyboard in the X session, and install the GTK+
| input method (part of the matchbox-keyboard source) so that the keyboard
| is toggled as required.  The keyboard is toggled via IPC between the
| input method and the keyboard, so you don't need to constantly kill and
| restart it.

This looks great; I have a test package, based off current SVN,
working here which I'll proceed to upload.  Any take on whether I
should enable the panel applet as well?

Only problem is the keyboard ends up consuming quite a lot of screen
real estate, see http://err.no/tmp/DSC_5932.2.JPG for a picture.  (The
resolution on that device is 1024x600.)

I think we could manage to shave off a complete row of keys by
reducing the size of Home/PgUp/End/PgDn (or get rid of them
completely) and making a numpad there.

Getting rid of the arrow keys also seems sensible - you have a touch
screen, which is much, much faster to use than using arrows.

We haven't started to tackle that problem yet.  Do you know of any

Yes, once we have something that works, it will be available for both
regular Ubuntu desktops and handheld devices. 

|  * Is there an easy way to install UME on my tablet to try it out?

Adilson answered this bit.

|  * On a UME system can I adjust my sources.list and apt-get install any

Yes, but it most likely won't integrate well, UI-wise.

|  * Is there anything to prevent running mainline apps like OpenOffice

No; but see above.

SELinux is not enabled by default and will not be enabled by default

If there is sufficient demand for it, we might want to look into it

Daily builds of UME

2007-07-18 Thread Tollef Fog Heen

Hi all,

as of last Friday, we have daily builds of UME.  They are available
from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/moblin/ .  We don't currently have
published build logs, but I have a ticket about that filed already, so
we should have those fairly soon.

Note that the images are currently slightly broken, so they don't
actually build, but the above URL will start updating again once the
builds are fixed.

UME status (2007-07-17)

2007-07-17 Thread Tollef Fog Heen

Hi all,

I figured it was time for a small status update from previous week's
sprint at the Canonical office in London and other interesting events.

The mobile app framework, aka hildon is mostly there.  We have some
outstanding patches for hildon-desktop which need to be integrated,
but this is being worked on.

For mobile browser, I don't really have an update, but Bob Spencer
might be able to provide an update.  I am currently at GUADEC and
Nokia has now announced a browser for their N800 based on Mozilla:
http://browser.garage.maemo.org/  This might be interesting to watch
out for and compare notes with.

The graphics driver is packaged, but not yet uploaded.  It is waiting
for the new DRM kernel headers it needs and will be uploaded once
those are in the archive.

Rusty Lynch and I spent quite a bit of time last week on fixing the
project builder.  It was renamed from project-builder to
moblin-image-creator, and we beat it into good enough shape that we
arrived at our goal for the week: have daily images built on the build
daemon machines in the Canonical data centre.  They don't actually
work completely correct yet, but I am going to investigate that as
soon as I get back home.

An UME-enabled kernel was uploaded and built, there was some work on
getting it to work on the menlow system we had, but I am not entirely
sure whether the efforts were successful or not.  If Jacob or Amit
could give us an update on that, it would be good.

We also worked on getting the Mobile UI up and running on the device.
It requires the flash 9 player from Adobe, something we can't legally
distribute.  We either have to get this working with Gnash, rewrite
the frontend using non-flash or some other way.

The utilities are marked as blocked; I'm not entirely sure why they
are, as all the dependencies are in Ubuntu now (or should be, if not,
tell me and I'll get it fixed).

We saw some bits of the media player, but it was not very far along
and I'm very much looking forward to seeing more progress on this
front.

The build infrastructure is now set up in launchpad, but we have hit
some snags with the toolchain which have temporarily stopped the
architecture bootstrap.

We have not seen any code drop for the hw decode bits, but once we do,
I'll start packaging those.

Yes, it ships a pre-built chroot which is built as part of the package

project-builder doesn't know how to create them.  I am not entirely

Pending any code, I believe this should be mostly a copy of the

before we know the shape of it is hard.

Yes, I believe those steps are enough and I am not aware of any more

Agreed.  I also rescued the mobile keyboard specification (which
ubuntu-mobile wasn't subscribed to, so it escaped me).   This needs
writing up; I'll follow up on that.

Hi,

as usual, we'll have an IRC meeting on #ubuntu-mobile at 1600 UTC
tomorrow (Thursday July 5th).

I'd like everybody who is the assignee for a spec to mail this list
(preferably as a followup to this mail) the status for each of their
specs before the meeting.  The idea is everybody can then just read
through the statuses and ask useful questions instead of waiting for
people to write up their answers while everybody waits for them.

So: Please have your spec status sent to this list before the meeting

Re: Meeting reminder - Today at 1600 UTC

2007-07-04 Thread Tollef Fog Heen

Notes from the meeting:

= Spec status =

== mobile-app-framework ==

Adilson and Tollef have worked on bringing in more fixes, mostly
packaging related.  There are a bunch of 32-bit-isms in the code, so
we recommend using a 32 bit chroot for now.  We are going to start
bringing in the startup scripts to see how to start X and hildon on
the device itself.

== mobile-image-creation ==

The implementation here is coming along quite nicely, but we need to
work out how to build the package, as this currently requires root
access and all the Ubuntu builds are done as non-root users.

The other problem is how to handle the initramfs creation.

== mobile-kernel ==

Poulsbo patches and the first UME configuration is going into the next
kernel upload.  Amit Kucheria is taking over as Canonical's kernel
person on the mobile project.  Any kernel patches (such as the updated
graphics DRM/DRI modules) should go to the kernel team, even if they
are part of other specifications.

== mobile-ui ==

Control panel is not there yet, but the UI as such is moving in the
right direction, and a «big-icon» UI is already working.  The bits
which are just configuration changes should be split out into its own
package rather than changing the default configuration in the
packages.

Bob Spencer is to push the newer code to launchpad.

== mobile-window-manager ==

The spec is now approved and source code has been imported, but it's
not been uploaded yet.  Tollef to upload.

== mobile-graphics ==

Bryce to review the spec and give comments on it.  Implementation is
coming along with an alpha-quality 2D driver which Charlie is to
provide Bryce with for integration into the regular builds.

== mobile-browser ==

Spec is in review.  Bob is working with Alexander Sack on getting an
initial branch set up and get new chrome and theme going.

== mobile-utilities ==

Coming along well; spec needs to be approved.  If new control panel
applets show up that we need, they should either be included in the
spec or get new specs (depending on their size).

== mobile-usb-client ==

Discussion on the list about this; needs a fair bit of updating for it
to be approved.  Implementation status somewhat unknown.

== mobile-mediaplayer ==

Spec not started, but Bob to have it written up by next meeting.
Implementation is coming along and it's able to play music now.

== mobile-build-infrastructure ==

No progress; Tollef to follow up on some internal issues.

== mobile-hw-decode ==

Spec approved; can already decode MPEG2 and moving on to VC1 and
h264.  Eventually going to do H264 encoding as well.  Would be nice to
have gstreamer support too, but Helix is what we are targetting so far.

== mobile-gnome-components ==

Tollef got the spec and is to check which components are actually in,
and which need to be brought in to be «GMAE compliant».

== mobile-overview informational ==

Adilson and Tollef to clean up
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded

== mobile-development-environment ==

We need an ubuntu-mobile-dev package.  Spec needs review and approval,
which Tollef is to provide.   This will not cover drivers, it will be
an SDK kind of package used for developers who want to write
applications for the platform.  It should include some documentation
or pointers to documentation for vendors, etc, who want to write
drivers and other addons.

== mobile-maemo-packaging-cleanup ==

Progressing well, packages are becoming quite a lot better already.

== power-management-in-ubuntu, mobile-power-thermal-optimzations ==

Those two go hand in hand.  Amit and Intel engineers (Todd, maybe
more?) to write up the spec and decide what should go in there. 

= Plans for next week =

We might have a location-related spec (think GPS-es) next week,
depending on the team.

We want to make daily (or nightly) builds of ubuntu mobile happen
now.

= Sprint plans =

 * Make sure to take a good, long look at the whole stack and see if
   there is anything we have missed.

 * Intel to bring menlow hardware for testing.

This can either be solved in the way it's solved on the Nokia 770 (and
I presume N800) by only allowing access to the VFAT-formatted MMC
card, or as you say, use SMB or NFS.  As we want windows clients to be
able to access this, SMB is probably a good choice, and this should be
described in the specification (both what solution you choose, and
why).

Spec review: USB Client

2007-06-28 Thread Tollef Fog Heen

I am currently in the process of going through the various
specifications submitted for review or proposal.  Since I suspect we
will end up with a couple of emails back and forth, I'll be splitting
those into separate emails.

This email is about the USB client one,
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded/USBClient

- The release note bit is not filled in, this needs to happen.

- Some boilerplate text is still present in other sections.  Please
  remove anything which isn't applicable to the spec, or fill in the
  section.

The specification lists a couple of different items that need to be
developed:

- Linux utility

- CDC Ethernet

- File-backed storage

- Peripherial controller driver

The spec should at least list how those bits interact and more
importantly, what other features in the OS they hook into and if those
need any changes.  Ideally, a spec should be implementable by a person
who only has the spec as his or her guidance as to how to implement a
particular feature.

- The design is completely missing; even just something along the

| that's why I'm asking. Currently dpkg-architecture behaves like:
| 
| $ dpkg-architecture -alpia
| dpkg-architecture: warning: Unknown gcc system type i686-linux-gnulp, falling
| back to default (native compilation)
| WAS: i686-linux-gnuDEB_BUILD_ARCH=i386
| DEB_BUILD_ARCH_OS=linux
| DEB_BUILD_ARCH_CPU=i386
| DEB_BUILD_GNU_CPU=i486
| DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM=linux-gnu
| DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE=i486-linux-gnu
| DEB_HOST_ARCH=lpia
| DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS=linux
| DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU=i686
| DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU=i686
| DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM=linux-gnulp
| DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE=i686-linux-gnulp

This looks fine to me.

| and for i386:
| 
| $ dpkg-architecture -ai386
| dpkg-architecture: warning: Unknown gcc system type i686-linux-gnulp, falling
| back to default (native compilation)
| WAS: i686-linux-gnuDEB_BUILD_ARCH=i386
| DEB_BUILD_ARCH_OS=linux
| DEB_BUILD_ARCH_CPU=i386
| DEB_BUILD_GNU_CPU=i486

| DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU=i386
| DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU=i486
| DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM=linux-gnu
| DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE=i486-linux-gnu

So does this.

| Is it really necessary to use "gnulp" in the GNU triplet? It's new, and

We need to differentiate the GNU triplet at least one place, so yes,
it's necessary to use -gnulp.

| The current GCC packages pick up the triplet provided by dpkg-architecture and

Ok, thanks.  Just to verify, those are in the archive now and we can
then start bootstrapping?

Re: IRC meeting Thursday 1600UTC

2007-06-28 Thread Tollef Fog Heen

Hi,

notes from the IRC meeting last week; sorry about not posting those
before, but I have been on vacation and then busy catching up.

The agenda was as follows:

* Hildon packaging update (Tollef Fog Heen/Adilson Oliveira)
* Flash image creation (Rusty Lynch)
* Kernel and hardware support (Ben Collins)
  - MID Wireless Device Support & Kernel Patches for Thermal
optimizations
* UI, utilities (Bob Spencer)
* Graphics (Charlie Johnson)
* Build infrastructure (Tollef Fog Heen)
* GNOME components (Bob Spencer)
* Documentation
* Ownerless specs:
  - UI guide
  - Browser
  - Media player UI
  - Hardware media decoding
  - USB client
  - Development environment
* Goals for the next week

= Hildon packaging update =

Adilson gave an update on the packaging.  We are now at a point where
a first cut of the packages are in gutsy and you can get a hildon
desktop up and running only using packages in the archive.  This
should make anyone wanting to build applications on top of Hildon able
to do so.  There is a bug in hildon-desktop which makes it crash if
you click the application menu, but we are working on fixing that.
Adilson believed the custom file picker patch for GTK+ had gone absent
and will check up on that.

ACTION: Adilson to check if the GTK+ patch is still present.

= Flash image creation =

The spec is lagging behind the implementation, but the implementation
is quite complete already.  It needs some tweaks to be able to
generate a first generation bootable image, but the Samsung Q1 Ultra
device itself is a challenge due to some hardware without drivers.

= Kernel and hardware support =

There are two bits to this: the necessary kernel patches and the
configuration.  Jacob and Amit are working together on bringing the
patches into the Ubuntu kernel repository, but there are some
minor changes that are still needed.

ACTION: Jacob to clean up patches and work with Amit on getting them
into the kernel repository.

= UI & Utilities =

The specs here are lagging quite badly, but progress on the
implementation during the DAM was good.  Some docs are written, but
not yet put anywhere public, but Bob is going to do that, hopefully by
Monday evening.

ACTION: Bob to put his note and API / UML somewhere for others to
see.

= Graphics =

Postponed, since Charlie had to leave the meeting at the top of the
hour.  Will be followed up by email.

= Build infrastructure =

No progress; Tollef has been on vacation.

= GNOME components =

The spec here is currently empty.  The plan is to fill it with what
parts of GNOME Mobile we want to use.  Depending on whether we want
UME to be a product or a platform, two approaches are possible:

- If we are building a product, just use exactly what our applications
  need.

- If we are building a platform, include GMAE and any extras we need
  for our platform.

Consensus on going for the platform approach was reached.

= Documentation =

Ian Lawrence has taken on the effort of trying to make heads and tails
of Hildon from a documentation perspective.  There was some discussion
as to what documentation system to use.  He has set up some
preliminary bits on http://proddingthe.net/ which he requests feedback
on.  He'll also write up a spec about how documentation should be
done.

ACTION: Ian Lawrence to create specification about documentation.

= Ownerless specifications =

We had a few ownerless specifications who got new owners:

Bob picked up UI guide, Browser, Media player UI, Charlie Johnson got
Hardware media decoding and USB client while Tollef Fog Heen picked up
Development environment

= Goals for next week =

The goal is to have all specifications pushed through to approved by
the next meeting.  Rusty also wants to have the necessary init scripts
in place so it's possible to boot straight into a maemo environment.

Next meeting is Friday at 1600 UTC to accomodate for Rusty travelling
on Thursday.

Re: choice of CPU and GNU triplet for lpia

2007-06-27 Thread Tollef Fog Heen
* Matthias Klose 

| The last dpkg upload added support for dpkg, setting the cpu used to i386 and
| the GNU triplet to gnulp-linux-i386. Setting the CPU explicitely to i386
| compared to i586 or i686) will get us other ABIs at least for some packages
| (GCC); while we can take care of this in the packaging of these few packages, 
we
| should use something like i586 or i686 which comes close to the targeted cpu.
| a proposed patch is attached.

i686 is fine with me, but I suspect the cputable change will then be
slightly wrong as it will affect i386 too?
