hey - has anyone installed ubuntu touch on their nexus 7? im currently installing now, but it's been sitting on "quantal-preinstalled-boot-armel+grouper.img: OK Pushing /home/jordan/Downloads/phablet-flash/95/quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip to /sdcard/autodeploy.zip" for a while [16:13] well, give it time, USB isnt the fastest transfer media [16:13] DiV this takes awhile! it will get there [16:14] and yes (to your question) many people have [16:14]

ok [16:14]

i assumed many people have - i just wanted to check with someone who had [16:14]

:P [16:14]

thanks guys, i knew usb wouldnt be super fast, just thought it might have been stuck === christian is now known as Guest36075 [16:17] deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ quantal-backports main restricted universe multiverse [16:17] deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ quantal-proposed main restricted universe multiverse [16:17] deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ quantal-security main restricted universe multiverse [16:17] deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ quantal-updates main restricted universe multiverse [16:18] i doubt anyone has tested adding these [16:18] so be careful, they might break the world ;) [16:18] ^^ [16:20] ogra, i just ran phablet-flash -b and it said device unsupported??? [16:20] did you use sudo ? [16:20] yes same problem [16:20] hmm [16:21] it is detecting my device as tilapia [16:22] which it shouldnt be :/ [16:22] mean id name not same [16:22] what do I do about it? [16:23] steve___: i've made it with phablet-flash -b -d 'grouper' on my tilapia [16:23] toXel thanks! it didnt abort this time it is doing something [16:24] glad someone knows what they are doing :D [16:24] it should be largely the same anyway [16:24] ok [16:24] it should be, but I dont know. google messed things up when they buggered with a perfectly good kernel [16:24] i know there are no issues using the nexus7 desktop image on these devices ... and the desktop one uses the plain grouper kernel [16:24] phablet-flash first looking on rom name [16:25] I had the desktop image on there fine, but with podgey fingers an on screen keyboard isnt ideal! [16:25] yeah [16:26] * ogra_ knows what you mean ... [16:26] Now i just have to wait for nexus S to be supported then I have 2 devices to use! [16:26] Why do mobile versions of facebook and gmail think I'm using iOS and want to send me to the Apple app store to download the mobile app? [16:26] i thihnk someone works on an S port [16:26] this is an amazing thing for FOSS [16:26] they are but im impatient :D i would offer to help but not sure how to??? [16:26] Guest36075, i think the browser currently identifies as iphone :) [16:27] # Check CyanogenMod property [16:27] if not device: [16:27] device = adb.getprop('ro.cm.device').strip() [16:27] # Check Android property [16:27] if not device: [16:27] device = adb.getprop('ro.product.device').strip() [16:27] steve___, contact the person working on it and offer testing ;) [16:27] log.info('Device detected as %s' % device) [16:27] # property may not exist or we may not map it yet [16:27] orga, that is my feeling too and I'm really wondering why [16:27] if device not in settings.supported_devices: [16:27] log.error('Unsupported device, autodetect fails device') [16:27] exit(1) [16:27] return device [16:27] Tigrouzen, use a pastebin please [16:27] sorry [16:28] Guest36075, because its a very very young browser written from scratch .... just expect it to have bugs [16:29] orga ok, I was thinking there must be a reason for that other then a bug, but if it is a bug... [16:30] Tigrouzen, when I was trying to flash cm10-1 on my tablet, that error was happening (wrong device) because I had the wrong recovery flashed, once I flashed the recovery recommended for my device on its cm wiki page, it started recognizing the device correctly [16:30] its a developer preview, its full of them [16:30] Ursinha, well, we dont check for tilapia at all, that needs to be added to the grouper codepath [16:30] Ursinha, yes because phablet look at bulid.prop [16:31] so, another problem :) [16:31] settings.supported_devices: need it added i guess [16:31] (and return "grouper" for it in the end) [16:33] anybody had any luck with msm8660 device yet? [16:33] i'm tempted to try this on a HTC Desire.. [16:33] dedire or dhd? [16:33] tux_, the phone rocks i have the desire hd [16:33] me too [16:33] with a broken glass and buttons [16:33] lol [16:34] steve___, past your default.prop on recovery mode [16:34] ahh who cares long as it turns on [16:34] true [16:34] im pyramid mainly [16:34] 9 error free builds no booty [16:34] hi all don't know if this is a dumb question .. if my ubuntu-touch was ported to my device and its still in the WIP stage .. when do we know if its out of that stage or will there be an update on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices [16:35] when's Key Lime out? [16:35] the final release date for all of that stuff is april 2014 [16:35] i.e. android 5.0 [16:35] you might see stuff released before (i.e. this october) [16:35] I will do, i am looking forward to it all being in a working order! I have gone slightly ubuntu mad the last few weeks [16:36] but 14.04 is the actual estimated timeframe for a final ubuntu touch product with all the bells and whistles you saw in the video [16:36] mad mine wont boot [16:36] lol [16:36] (converged devices with desktop when you dock it etc etc) [16:37] I have 7 mins left of saving the .zip to the device. This is going to do wanders for ubuntu [16:37] I work with linux servers everyday and everyone is excited about this [16:39] 1900 views on my thread no rom lol [16:40] DragonKorr, what is it you are trying to do? [16:40] get preview to boot [16:40] which device?? [16:40] sensation [16:40] and the install went smoothly with no error messages? [16:40] insatall? [16:41] compile you mean? [16:41] ah you compiled! sorry i misunderstood! [16:41] well your a brave man! [16:41] thats above my capabilities [16:42] So based on just looking at the install page, you need ubuntu desktop to install on a tablet? [16:43] ubuntu desktop or a VM [16:43] dont matter [16:44] long as its linux [16:44] That's fantastic [16:44] mint [16:44] fedora === corne is now known as corne_away [16:44] I wander how long it will be until be see distros like mint porting their own image? [16:45] why same stuff [16:45] different color [16:45] well I am just wandering how long it will be for someone to attempt to create a BackTrack image as this is steadily getting more and more popular [16:45] this is true, but people do like choice after all [16:45] There's no way to xiii it straight on the device? Is there a reason for that? [16:46] xiii? [16:46] Stupid swype [16:46] How can I help enable GPS support? [16:46] Install* [16:47] vast question be more specific [16:47] baruch6132: use swiftkey flow ;P [16:47] lol [16:49] is that a dumb question i asked ? [16:49] Does it take long to push the autodeploy.zip ?? or is my machine just abit crap? [16:49] steve___: takes a bit [16:50] all zips take long adb [16:50] thanks mate! [16:50] What does it do different when it comes to installing than an android rom? Wipe bootloader? [16:50] if I put the sim card in the device, can i then use it as a very large phone?? [16:50] steve___: gsm? [16:51] baruch613, android uses a modified kernel as it has no x-org support [16:51] yea it is [16:51] steve___: could work as well as maguro... no promises [16:52] Ahh. So it has to put a different kernel on it ? I can do that in recovery. Why i need a computer to do that for ubuntu touch? [16:52] its worth a go! i will have to test it out [16:53] I hope this push doesnt take longer than half an hour - i want to leave work on time :D [16:53] 31 min [16:53] Why can't i install on the tablet itself. Why need a computer? [16:53] Is my main question [16:53] i hope thats the timing its been going for 10 [16:54] hmm [16:54] baruch613, you can not do it on the device itself because you have to wipe part of the device in the first place so it wont have anything to finish the install [16:54] anyone succeeded in syncing sources? [16:55] serfiusens finished pushing!!! [16:55] yea twice [16:55] Ahh. It wipes recovery ? [16:55] oooohhhh did it work :D [16:55] sergiusens, ^^^^ [16:56] steve___, thanks, you were our beta tester ... the arch will be added to the script ... [16:56] i can still see the android drois with his teletubby belly atm [16:56] hahaha im proud to be a beta tester :D [16:56] oh, i thought you were done already :) [16:56] Ill be installing when i Gerry home from school [16:57] it ran it and said finished, and once complete the device should reboot to Ubuntu [16:57] Get* [16:57] I like how it says should ;) [16:57] Lol [16:57] yeah, we are careful with statements for previews :) [16:57] steve___: should means something can fail :-) [16:57] its like a doctor saying the medicine SHOULD work, but then again it could make you grow an extra foot ... [16:58] Can't wait to install it! Been waiting since ces! [16:58] who wouldnt want an extra foot ! [16:58] steve___: so it rebooted and nothing? [16:58] well i have a moving progress bar and it just rebooted [16:58] into ........ [16:58] steve___: it should've rebooted into fastboot and started doing stuff [16:58] ubuntu :D [16:58] beta test complete ;) [16:58] sergiusens, its done :) [16:59] good job guys looks awesome! [16:59] and thanks for your help of course === mmrazik is now known as mmrazik|afk [16:59] steve___, thanks for yours ! [16:59] you helped inproving ubuntu ;) [17:00] im always up for helping improve ubuntu! [17:02] if any bugs come up I shall post them, where should i post them though? [17:03] we dont really have a bugtracker set up that early since bugs are expected and largely worked on anyway, but you can try to talk about them here [17:03] ok :) well i will test as much as possible and if any come up i shall try and find a fix === SkavenXXI-[OFF] is now known as SkavenXXI [17:17] hi [17:18] i just need to know whether i can install ubuntu tablet on my samsung galaxy tab 10.1? [17:19] Ajan_, officially I believe only nexus devices are supported. check xda-developers.com you might find a port there [17:20] Dank101, are you still looking for someone to test a d2att build? [17:20] yes [17:20] echov [17:21] Ajan look here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices#Work_in_progress [17:21] echov:http://d-h.st/DoD [17:26] hello, I've tried to port the ubuntu touch to my device using the guide located on the wiki but seem to have issues when issuing brunch. Although my device is listed, when i run brunch it fails saying that the repo didn't have the device specs. any help would be appreciated. === [SLB]` is now known as [SLB] [17:27] thanks [17:27] does all the hardware on a vzw gnex work or is something missing? [17:31] is it possible to make a build that can be flashed from ClockworkMod Recovery just like with normal CyanogenMod? I read on the Porting Guide that Ubuntu Touch is based on Cyanogen 10.1 so I was wondering if it's possible [17:33] ultrabenosaurus: we flash using zip files and cwm recovery [17:33] :-) [17:34] rsalveti: thanks! [17:34] rsalveti: is there an XDA thread I can get the ZIP files from or will I need to build them myself? [17:35] ultrabenosaurus: for the devices we officially support (nexus family), you can get the files from cdimage [17:36] ultrabenosaurus: now if it'sa different device, take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices [17:42] rsalveti: sorry for asking silly questions, but where is 'cdimage'? I can't find a mention of it anywhere in the Touch wiki and I have a Nexus 4 so the Devices page just points me at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install [17:42] ultrabenosaurus: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/quantal/mwc-demo/ [17:42] the script will use this url by default [17:43] you can either download the zip from this path or use the phablet-flash script [17:47] rsalveti: thank you very much! I'll be flashing that just as soon as I've done a new nandroid to roll back to :D === fginther is now known as fginther|lunch [17:52] For any HTC Desire users here; I have compiled a tutorial (and the required android-part) on how to get Ubuntu Touch to run on your HTC Desire. Read it at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2165711 [17:55] can anyone lend a hand on the porting guide? === [SLB] is now known as [SLB]` === juicyjones|away is now known as juicyjones === [SLB]` is now known as [SLB] [18:05] hi === con_ is now known as Scognito [18:12] trapntan, please ask your question and if someone can help then they can chip in :) [18:13] Can't find the extract-files.sh script for toro, but I think I found the script from CM and will just create the file put it in /device/samsung/toro. Sound right? [18:16] Can someone help me with modifying GRID_UNIT_PX in /usr/bin/ubuntu-session? === SkavenXXI is now known as SkavenXXI-[OFF] [18:18] Well seems to have worked anyway, just woulda thought the script would have been in the repo? thanks though [18:18] I'm trying to compile for i9100 (SGS) using this line on manifest.xml: [18:19] but what i get is "error: Cannot fetch CyanogenMod/android_hardware_samsung" [18:20] any hint? [18:22] Scognito, try to sync again, it seems the git server is a bit overloaded atm, lots of folks trying to connect at the same time [18:22] dpm: oh sorry i mispelled...seems another repo sync fixed [18:22] but now I get "error: Cannot fetch CyanogenMod/android_hardware_broadcom_wlan" :) [18:22] this one wasn't added by ,e though [18:22] yeah, I think it's the same problem [18:23] you might want to wait a bit and retry [18:23] it's 2 days I try to sync :) [18:23] anyway what about "Fetching projects: 27% (38/140) fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly" ? [18:23] it's exactly the same problem unfortunately :/ [18:24] do I need to do a full repo sync without this kind of error before trying to compile? === _inf_ is now known as _inf [18:29] How do I modify GRID_UNIT_PX? [18:30] jppiiroi1en, perhaps you've got the answer for this one? ^ [18:30] its described in the porting doc [18:31] (see channel topic) [18:32] good catch, thanks ogra_ === SkavenXXI-[OFF] is now known as SkavenXXI [18:42] dead chan? [18:45] hello [18:46] some one her who could answer me a question pls ? [18:47] probably yes [18:48] k , is it possible to flash a samsung galaxy nexus with ubuntu-touch via windows ? [18:48] no [18:49] mhhh ok .. thx for helping [18:49] Domes, I'm not sure this might help http://www.webupd8.org/2013/02/how-to-flash-ubuntu-touch-from-windows.html [18:49] Domes Use a virtual machine [18:49] ahh cool thx xsoh [18:50] @ttoivanen .. no i got it on my notebook ..but used it months ago and so i not so comform with it [18:51] any hope for n7 3g (tilapia)....cause I think it's still not supported.. === jeff_ is now known as Guest88931 [18:53] great work guys! [18:56] xsoh, just force it to grouper with the -d options [18:56] *option [18:57] xsoh, the phablet-flash script is just being fixed to use grouper on these devices as well [18:58] So I just finished installed Touch to my Nexus 7, and everything went absolutely perfect - but the touchscreen doesn't work. Is there some additional driver needed? [18:59] nope [18:59] are you sure it doesn't work? [18:59] it works out of the box on the N& [18:59] n7* [18:59] the interface is really unintuitive [18:59] you wouldn't be the first person who thought it wasn't working when really it was [18:59] it's fairly simple to be fair [18:59] shadin, did you try to swipe from the left edge yet ? [18:59] ogra_, it says: Not enough space in /data, found 470M <-- it's clean android rom [19:00] I just did, thank you. I'm an idiot. :) [19:00] xsoh, thats weird, your /data partition should be the biggest on the device [19:00] shadin: it's totally not your fault. blame the designers [19:00] ogra_, I'll check that... [19:00] xsoh, do you use phablet-flash or did you try it manually ? [19:01] guys, I'm looking at the required specs for devices supported - i.e. NExus 7 grouper. which model is that? the old/original one, or the newer one? [19:01] kieppie, grouper are all without 3G [19:02] but the 3G model works too, we have had a few people installing it in the channel here [19:02] ogra_, well I tried to use phablet then I tried to do it manually...maybe because it uses the ubuntu kernel.. [19:02] xsoh, you had the desktop install on it before ? [19:02] ogra_, yes [19:02] ogra_ - I believe the original NExus 7 - releases last year or the year before, was WiFi only, but the latest one is comes in wifi & 3g flavours, but still carry the same name [19:03] well, the kernel shouldnt cause any issues [19:03] kieppie, as i said, wifi only is grouper [19:03] ogra_ - I can get the old one fore relatively cheap, & want to ensure I don't end up bricking it [19:03] ogra_ - original release? [19:03] ogra_, no what I mean is that I have wierd case...I'm running Android in Ubuntu kernel... [19:03] xsoh, it is imprtant that your recovery partition is intact nd has adb on it for the phablet script [19:04] kieppie, any n7 without wifi is a grouper [19:04] http://www.gsmarena.com/asus_google_nexus_7-4850.php [19:04] ah [19:04] thnx [19:05] kieppie, errr, sorry, "with *only* wifi" [19:06] rsalveti: how long should the initial boot take after flashing? [19:08] rsalveti: I downloaded the mako ZIP from near the top of that page, flashed it and rebooted to get a constant black screen after the Google logo with the open padlock (running a Nexus 4 by the way) [19:09] rsalveti: I can hold the power button which turns it off, then holding the volume down button will go to the bootloader from which I can get to recovery and restore my backup [19:09] rsalveti: I waited 20 minutes before trying the power button [19:11] ultrabenosaurus, did you use all three files ? the mako zip will only get you a kernel and minimal android env, no GUI etc [19:12] any ubuntu devs here? [19:14] some for sure [19:17] ogra_: no, I only used the ZIP [19:17] ultrabenosaurus, well, that wont get you very far [19:17] ogra_, I installed normal the Android OS and now it's working..! Thank you so much [19:17] ogra_: do I even need to use the recovery ZIP? won't that overwrite ClockworkMod Recovery? [19:18] xsoh, awesome ! [19:18] ultrabenosaurus, not sure, but you definitely need the userspace [19:19] ogra_: this is the link rsalveti gave me - http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/quantal/mwc-demo/ [19:20] orga_: I was told I could download the ZIP for my phone (mako - Nexus 4) to flash via Clockworkmod Recovery [19:20] orga_: how do I flash IMG files rather than ZIP files? [19:21] ultrabenosaurus: you need 2 zips [19:21] one specific to the hardware and the other as the ubuntu image [19:22] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/quantal/mwc-demo/quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip [19:22] ultrabenosaurus: so install both with cwm, and you should have something at your next boot :-) [19:22] :) [19:22] just make sure you have enough disk space available (~2gb) [19:22] rsalveti: ah, I needed the phablet ZIP as well? thanks for the help! [19:24] right, thats the userspace [19:30] Anyone trying to flash ios to ubuntu touch? [19:30] wha??? [19:31] yes [19:31] it transformed in windows phone 7 [19:31] but i went back to symbian [19:31] didn't liked the interface [19:33] hey do ubuntu touch is same as they showed in CES last year [19:33] ? [19:33] * manvindar hi [19:33] * manvindar is scratching is head [19:34] * manvindar needs someone who can tell him what he asked [19:34] hey do ubuntu touch is same as they showed in CES last year? [19:35] largely, yes [19:35] ah [19:36] so after docking we can use it like we use ubuntu normally [19:36] no [19:36] why [19:36] once it is released you will be able to [19:36] because that featire does not exist yet [19:36] To any Ubuntu developers; how do you reuse Android's EGL libs, and how do you use Android's surfaceflinger to display your own GUI?? [19:36] *fature [19:37] w00tc0d3: using libhybris [19:37] the final release will be only for dual core mobiles? [19:37] Anyone trying to flash ios to ubuntu touch? [19:37] ali1234: what does that do? [19:37] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SulHvjtLO0g [19:37] w00tc0d3: allows bionic and glibc to interoperate, batically [19:37] suggestions welcome in the comments [19:38] ios to ubuntu touch?? ios is closed source as far as i know [19:38] ali1234: I might look stupid, but what's the advantage of it? [19:38] w00tc0d3: can use android hardware adaptations directly without having to rebuild them for glibc - which is impossible anyway without source [19:39] dont think so [19:39] w00tc0d3: basically it allows glibc distributions to use android binary only drivers compiled against bionic libc [19:39] ali1234: but Canonical didn't chose for it [19:39] w00tc0d3: i don't understand what you just said [19:39] w00tc0d3, there are no normal linux drivers for any of these devices .... the drivers that are around are android drivers [19:39] ali1234: ogra_: indeed. they use android's surfaceflinger [19:39] ali1234: ogra_: and I wonder how they attach it to Xorg [19:40] w00tc0d3: qt is patched to add surfaceflinger backend [19:40] w00tc0d3, so to use such hwardware you can either work with a vendor directly and get exactly one phone going ... or you can re-use android bits [19:40] i know ios is closed, i'm wondering if anyone is interested to hacking and flashing ios over to ubuntu [19:40] w00tc0d3: there is no X11 involved, qt uses surfaceflinger apis directly [19:40] w00tc0d3, there is no X11 involved anywhere [19:40] iphone/ipad to ubuntu [19:40] ali1234: *crying* so when I want to use GNOME, I basically have to rewrite Gnome? [19:41] Anyone interested in doing that? [19:41] no, just make a surfaceflinger backend to Gtk [19:41] w00tc0d3, what mhall119 said [19:41] or make surfaceflinger backend for X11 [19:41] well, you'd have to do more than that if you want to get Gnome Shell running [19:42] but to get Gtk apps running it should be all you need [19:42] ogra_: oh... and they interact using libhybris, that's why /system is mounted on /data/ubuntu/system ? [19:42] also for ali1234 [19:42] i don't know the implementation details, sorry [19:42] well, ubuntu runs inside a container under a very minimal android [19:43] hey guys [19:43] really? [19:43] how do we manually install apt-get on ubuntu-touch [19:43] What a pain [19:43] dank101, ? [19:43] dank101, apt-get is there [19:43] it IS installed [19:44] ogra_, it glitched im reflashing [19:44] So if I flash my iphone to android then I should be able to install ubuntu over it? [19:44] Guest16586, yes [19:44] mhall119, hey :) I just submitted my code to a new branch as you told me, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5565683/ but I'm not sure where it's supposed to be, I can't find it on lp [19:46] fmunozs: it's here: https://code.launchpad.net/~fmunozs/ubuntu-twitter-app/profileview [19:46] fmunozs: now you can click the "Propose for merging" link to make a merge proposal (pull request in git speak) [19:46] Guest16586, nope [19:47] mhall119, thanks again! [19:47] Guest16586, you would need to add iphone suppport to the android tree we use for ubuntu, see the porting doc from the channel topic [19:47] fmunozs: no problem, I'm please to see code coming in for these apps :) [19:47] Guest16586, but then you could indeed run ubuntu-touch on an iphone [19:48] where can I read that? [19:48] I'm not really that familiar with irc [19:48] I used to be, but it's been a long while [19:51] Guest16586, ttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting [19:51] thank you [19:52] So if I understand correctly, I may be able to add ios support to the ubuntu package and... bam...
