Summary of problem:<
> - Xephyr is a root only environment<
> - Limited test resources<
> - Community requires access to application stack<
><
> What is the goal for testing, what do you want to test?<
> - get testers access to virtual environment for testing<
> - non root environment<
> - test apps like network-manager and opengl<
> - give developers access to the system for easier porting of application stacks.<
> - Barrier to access may not be reduced to 0 since UME is not ready for average user.<
> - I think that testing everything in general terms but confirmation of issues in xephyr (for now) and vm in general are important too :)<
> - On hw I think the important things to test will be those that can not be tested on vm. Games, net access, n-m, effects (ie the flash desktop). Plus physical HW touch screen, sound, ports.<
> Possible solutions:<
> - Live CD solution suggested that may be a better solution for hardware testing such as Compiz/wifi/etc.<
> - Qemu is still the quickest and best solution for the short term<
> - Script to create KVM image is available<
> (In re virtualized opengl support, anyone know the state of http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~andreslc/xen-gl/?)<
> - rootfs builder using hooks to create x86 images from UME builds<
> - Working VM image is available now. Scheduled release for VM enabled needs to be created and organized.<
> - [[https://code.launchpad.net/~mvo/ubuntu-mobile/simple-image-builder]]<
> <
> Roadblocks: <
> Define what can and cannot be done in VM <
><
> Todo: <
> - Notify StevenK to build with a different video driver<
> - Talk to david and matt about getting Davmor2 a Q1 in the meantime<
> <
> Next step:<
> - What are the variants (mvo)<
> - Once the variants are determined tell Steve to build with different drivers<
> - Create a new flavor (ume-kvm) Yes please :)<
