Akiva-MobileSo I am curious; what projects for the phone is everyone working on?00:46
mhall119Akiva-Mobile: have you seen the list of core apps being developed?00:50
mhall119Akiva-Mobile: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/CoreApps00:51
Akiva-Mobilemhall119: No. A flashlight might be good to make a core app, to avoid the market being flooded out of the gate :P00:51

dmdrummondmhall119: Has the name changed from Ubuntu Phone to Touch?00:58
Akiva-Thinkpaddmdrummond: Someone told me they are calling it the uPhone now.01:05

Akiva-ThinkpadnOStahl: I think I will try and go ahead with the idea of creating a map generator that creates its terrain by reading GoogleMaps (or open maps, whatever)01:46
Akiva-ThinkpadI figure it will have enough interest for other projects to find contributors01:47
Akiva-Thinkpadand it is indeed, a very neato idea,01:47
nOStahlaye open street maps will do that for you np01:48
nOStahlterrain data etc.01:48
Akiva-ThinkpadI always thought of the prospect of a game whos environment perfectly reflected the real world,01:49
Akiva-Thinkpadfigured it was a pipe dream though given the resources involved. With maps as detailed as they are though...01:50
SkavenXXIlike this? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nianticproject.ingress01:53

isaiasnot that there's anything wrong with them**01:56
dmdrummondisaias: You will need to clarify what you mean in order to get an answer01:56
isaiasok, what language do i need to learn to make something i can use on the phone01:57
dmdrummondisaias: qml at the moment01:57

Akiva-ThinkpadWhat is ubuntu's prefferred license?02:07
Akiva-ThinkpadI assume linus's is gpl302:07
nOStahlthis is amazing article http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ read it Akiva-Thinkpad :)02:14
Akiva-ThinkpadnOStahl: No I decided to go with cvs02:15
Akiva-ThinkpadMuch better02:15
nOStahlugh02:15
nOStahlbe prepared to wait around for hours as your code base builds up02:16
Akiva-ThinkpadnOStahl: Im kidding02:16
nOStahllol02:16
Akiva-ThinkpadnOStahl: Linus says that tarball trading was a much superior management system than cvs02:17
Akiva-ThinkpadnOStahl: Did you see his google tech talk on git?02:17
nOStahldon't think I did02:17
Akiva-ThinkpadAs far as google tech talks are concerned, the house was packed with google employees02:17
nOStahlI have not had much time to consume content lately just learning jquery and such02:17
Akiva-ThinkpadnOStahl: I think it was way back in 0802:18
Akiva-ThinkpadI liked old linus. Linus today is rude and vulgar.02:18
Akiva-Thinkpadold linus was more contained in public.02:19
Akiva-ThinkpadDunno about the kernel mailing list though.02:19

kostkon_frankencode, cool02:35
nOStahlinteresting view02:35
frankencodemy first shot02:36
nOStahlfirst letter of each day for column headers maybe02:36
frankencodeM T W T F S S02:37
frankencodehmmm....02:37
nOStahlor S M T W T F S02:37
nOStahlwhatever the person's set the start of their week to02:37
frankencodeyes, it is freely configurable02:37
frankencodeyou can start on friday if you like02:38
nOStahlit looks like all the apps have a huge header02:38
frankencodeit disappears atomagically02:38
nOStahloh good! heh02:38
nOStahlI'm a very AVID calendar user02:38
frankencodelets see how to goes in landscape02:38
nOStahlmy zimbra server is mainly for calendars and tasks that happens to serve my email as well lol02:39
frankencodei better commit the code now, it's 3:40 in the morning already02:39
nOStahlI just got done reading http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/02:40
nOStahllooks to be the way ubuntu schedules its flow too02:40
frankencodei'm pretty happy with the merge-only bzr workflow02:41
nOStahli run my own gitlab server and loving it :)02:42
frankencodereal hackers build their own dominions02:43
frankencodeohh, i start to sound like a lisa bot02:44
nOStahlare you working on the core calendar app or your own spin?02:44
frankencodei'll push it i a second...02:45
frankencodehttps://code.launchpad.net/~frankencode/ubuntu-calendar-app/ubuntu-calendar-app02:51
frankencodei'd liked to put the day names on the header separator02:53
nOStahlif you want to keep it clean too….. maybe when swiping over the days it just fades them in and out02:54
nOStahlneat effect and keeps it clean02:54
nOStahlpeople don't REALY need the days to display 100% of the time etc.02:54
nOStahland they will like the play ability of the swiping02:55
frankencodethe headers are really wasteful02:55
nOStahlwhere it says Calendar >02:56
nOStahl?02:56
frankencodeyes02:56
nOStahldidn't you say they auto fade away02:56
frankencodethey do02:56
nOStahlthat little gray bar in-between it and the calendar stays though and everything slides up after Calendar > fades02:57
frankencodelet's see: "Calendar 2013 >"02:57
frankencodeguess the design team will kill me for putting the year there02:58
nOStahlwhat do you think of the swipe effect03:00
nOStahlfor showing the days in that gray bar03:01
frankencodeshowing the weekdays in the separator bar of the tab header?03:03
frankencodewas my thinking03:03
nOStahlaye that gray bar03:03
frankencodeyes, it's called a separator03:03
nOStahlaye03:04
JuppMCODoes anyone know if the preview will work on a version Galaxy Nexus?03:04

RipITSomeone here who knows if i can use Ubuntu OS in a Nokia smartphone? for example the Nokia Lumia 920.11:49
dmdrummondRipIT: Unlikely, currently they are targeting android-phones as they already have kernels and drivers12:01
sky770http://www.canonical.com/content/touch-developer-preview-ubuntu-be-published-21-february-2013 << is great but only for nexus / nexus 412:13
* sky770 looking forward to HTC DS porting12:14
rob_wwill we be able to start porting to other/own devices after 21th feb ?13:42
smartboyhwrob_w, yes13:42
smartboyhw:)13:42
rob_wu involved somehow '?13:42
smartboyhwrob_w, no. That is what I KNOW of:P13:43
rob_wkk cool13:43
rob_wi wonder alot about its internals , userspace , libs etc13:43
smartboyhwBTW a question from me too: Since Ubuntu ARM builds doesn't support ARMv7 phones, would it mean that it wouldn't support ARMv6 smartphones too13:43
smartboyhw?13:43
rob_wwhy does it not support armv713:44
rob_wimho this is the most spread atm13:44
smartboyhwrob_w, sorry armv6 :P13:45
smartboyhws/ARMv7/ARMv613:45
smartboyhwLOL13:45
rob_wthat makes a difference13:45
rob_wi dont care about armv6 ..13:46
smartboyhwrob_w, I do care13:46
* smartboyhw has a Samsung Galaxy Pocket released last year in 2012 and since it is a budget phone it uses ARMv613:46
smartboyhwAnd Canonical has said that they would support budget phones13:46
rob_wtrue,  budget phones  should be a target, though a not so funny one13:47
rob_wbut it doubt that they will not have armv6 support at some stage13:47
rob_wi bet in the beginning they will show it in all its fancyness and want the power they get13:48
rob_wi am actually hoping for a nice stack in order to run it not only on phones but kiosks and industrial heads13:48
sky770whoa :O >> "<smartboyhw> BTW a question from me too: Since Ubuntu ARM builds doesn't support ARMv7 phones, would it mean that it wouldn't support ARMv6 smartphones too" wha the frig. ? :D14:01
smartboyhwsky770, I meant ARMv614:01
smartboyhwSORRY AGAIN:P14:01
sky770if it wouldn't support armv7 hahaha..everyone wha we call "fkd" :D14:01
sky770ah nvm14:01
sky770:p14:01
bzoltansmartboyhw:  I am not an arch expert, but as I remember jaunty, karmic did support ARMv5/6. The v6 Galaxy devices are the Ace and Gio... both two years old. Do you know any recent smartphone what comes with v6?14:33
smartboyhwbzoltan, Galaxy Pocket (1 year old, which I am using)14:33
Akiva-ThinkpadI am thinking of using Panda for my engine, based on the reception it has, and its bsd license14:35
Akiva-Thinkpadanyone have any experience with it?14:35
bzoltansmartboyhw:  True... but checking the specs of the Pocket it is pretty much a 2-3 years old story.14:36
smartboyhwbzoltan, the story:P14:36
smartboyhwIt is still in sale here in Hong Kong14:36
smartboyhwI bought it in October I think14:36
bzoltansmartboyhw:  I have a RaspberryPI for media center :) It is perfect for the purpose and cheap, but I think for a smooth and flawless UI expereince and targeting 14.04 date it is understandable that Ubuntu's choice is the v8 and not the v6. Most of the devices with v6 are cool, nice, but I would not call them fresh :)14:39
smartboyhwbzoltan, yeah14:39
bzoltansmartboyhw:  But no question :) i would love to use Ubuntu on my R-Pi14:40
smartboyhwbzoltan, ;)14:40
Andy80bzoltan1, hi! I'm still facing that qmake problem and I'm not able to compile anything :\ do you know how could I fix it?14:49
Andy80andrea@andrea-Inspiron-660:~$ qmake14:50
Andy80qmake: could not open config file '/usr/share/qtchooser//default.conf': No such file or directory14:50
bzoltan1Andy80: Hello, do you have qt5-default installed?14:50
Andy80yes it is14:51
Andy80"qt5-default is already the newest version"14:51
Andy80I can try a re-install maybe...14:51
Andy80nope... I reinstalled using Synaptic, but nothing changed14:52
Andy80bzoltan1, only qt4-default is not installed, but this is normal since they would conflict15:02
bzoltan1Andy80:  Which Qt5  PPA are you using ?15:03
Andy80bzoltan1, this http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa/ubuntu15:04
Andy80and I also have this http://ppa.launchpad.net/ui-toolkit/ppa/ubuntu15:05
bzoltan1Andy80:  That is the SDK.... what about the Qt5?15:05
Andy80and also this one http://ppa.launchpad.net/canonical-qt5-edgers/qt5-beta-proper/ubuntu15:05
bzoltan1Andy80:  Are you using Raring?15:05
Andy80no, Quantal15:05
bzoltan1Andy80:  That is good. In that case you need a major clean up :)15:06
bzoltan1Andy80: http://askubuntu.com/questions/254800/how-can-i-update-the-ubuntu-sdk-preview-from-the-qt-5-beta-ppa-to-the-qt-5-relea/15:06
Andy80ah ok, let me give a look :)15:06
bzoltan1Andy, you need this command: $ grep ^Package: /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net*sdk*Packages /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net*ui-toolkit*Packages /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net*qt5-beta-proper*Packages |awk '{print $2}'|xargs sudo apt-get -y remove15:07
bzoltan1and  sudo ppa-purge ppa:canonical-qt5-edgers/qt5-beta-proper  and the other two PPAs15:08
Andy80NOOOOOOOOOOOOO15:08
Andy80it's removing even ubuntu-desktop :(15:08
Andy80omfg!15:09
Andy80please tell me how to undo the previsous command :(15:09
frankencodenext time run with "-s", first15:10
Andy80bzoltan1, it's removing the WHOLE system :(15:10
bzoltan1Andy80:  hmm... it should not remove the whole sytem.. I use this command every day to clean up and reinstall the SDK15:11
bzoltan1Andy80: Sorry15:12
Andy80bzoltan1, look with your own eyes http://pastebin.com/f7qeYXCi :(15:12
bzoltan1Andy80:  Do you use KDE? That surely have dependencies on Qt packages15:14
Andy80bzoltan1, I'm using Unity....15:14
Andy80normal Unity15:14
Andy80it, for example, just removed everything related to Wt15:14
Andy80Qt15:14
Andy80Skype, Spotify etc...15:14
bzoltan1de-runtime kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-plugins15:14
bzoltan1Ctrl-C is is still on your keyboard, dude15:15
Andy80but I didn't want to interrupt the operation in the middle....15:15
Andy80it didn't ask me for any confirmation before starting removing packages15:15
bzoltan1Andy80:  there is no problem. You haeve the logs, copy and paste  the packages you need and apt-get install them15:16
bzoltan1 Andy80: apt-get -y does not ask questions15:16
Andy80ok, I'm going to do it right now..15:16
bzoltan1 Andy80: I am sorry15:17
Andy80nope :\15:17
Andy80I just would have preferred to spend the next couple of hours in a different way :P15:17
bzoltan1Andy80: it is just one apt-get install, do not worry15:23
bzoltan1Andy80: copy the text from the pastebin you gave to a file comm and run this> sudo apt-get install `cat comm |grep Removing|awk '{print $2}'|perl -i -p -e  "s/\n/ /g"`  Yes, it will ask you15:26
bzoltan1remove those packages from the list what it can not install with instertin |egrep -v "package|package|package"| before the perl and after the grep Removing15:27
Andy80oh... already tried manually.... with this command: http://pastebin.com/sPfEPcsV15:28
Andy80I will let this finish first15:28
bzoltan1Andy80: cool, you will survive :)15:32
Andy80I hope :D15:32
bzoltan1Anyhow... you had two UI Toolkit PPA and the qt5 PPA what we use for staging in your system.15:32
Andy80the old Qt5 PPA was removed... do I have to remove any other PPA?15:33
Andy80bzoltan1, do you want me to post you my repository list somewhere?15:33
bzoltan1Andy80: no need. just remove all the Qt5 and UI Toolkit PPAs and packages... make a clean system15:34
Andy80bzoltan1, uhmm... so which PPA do I have to leave installed?15:35
Andy80installed/enabled I mean15:35
bzoltan1Andy80:  do not leave enabled anything... first clan up15:35
bzoltan1clean15:35
Andy80oh wait then... first let me finish reinstalling ubuntu-desktop and all the old packages...15:36
Andy80then I will clean15:36
bzoltan1the `dpkg -l|grep Qt` should not list any Qt5 package15:36
Andy80why do I need to use dpkg -l|grep Qt ?15:37
Andy80p.s: just finished reinstalling my old packages15:38
bzoltan1Andy80:  dpkg -l lists all your packages and grep Qt check what Qt packages you have15:40
Andy80ok... and once I have the list?15:40
bzoltan1Do you see there Qt5 packages?15:42
Andy80yes, lot of them15:42
Andy80I just reinstalled manually, as I told you15:42
Andy80I remove all the Qt5 packages first, ok?15:43
bzoltan1OK15:44
bzoltan1and purge the PPAs15:44
Andy80I just removed a bunch using Synaptic, but using: dpkg -l|grep Qt, I still see a lot of them. I don't know how to remove them all15:49
Andy80I'm trying again..15:51
