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 :)<
