[08:05] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5709349/ [08:05] any help is really appreciated :=) [08:06] Its on a nexus 4, I had ubuntu touch, went back to android, then now trying to get ubuntu again [08:06] adbd cannot run as root in production builds [08:06] yes [08:06] i had that [08:07] jussi: did you do the -b in phablet-flash? [08:07] no, let me try that again [08:07] actually it's Mirv's answer in askubuntu.com/questions/264726/adbd-cannot-run-as-root-in-production-builds :D [08:09] tsdgeos: ahh, my googling didnt turn up much, probably bad technique. [08:09] * jussi waits for the download to happen [08:14] if it helps, please vote my answer up in askubuntu :) I also didn't manage to google a simple answer, so when I eventually re-read the instructions and understood what I was doing wrong, I added the answer [08:14] the error message alone isn't helping much [08:32] Mirv: it did help :) thanks to you and tsdgeos. [08:33] Mirv: however, do you know if sim unlocking is supported? and if so, how do I enter my pin ? [08:48] jussi: no, I don't know if it pin code asking should be disabled or not [08:48] anyone knows how to build the Ubuntu Touch rootfs (ubuntu-touch-raring-armhf.tar.gz) ? [08:48] Mirv: doesnt seem to work here. Where should I report bugs? [08:49] jussi: possibly https://bugs.launchpad.net/phone-app ... it would be lower level as well, but maybe the phone-app would be the one to have the UI to enter the code [08:49] someone else might know better [08:51] right, Ill report there and hope that the triager knows better than me.

[12:18] dholbach, once we have https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/client-1303-containers-host-client-ubuntu-android mostly implemented [12:18] (hopefully by end of the week we have images with flipped container ... then we still need to weed out the bugs caused by the model flip) [12:19] great [12:20] dholbach, there are builds now for saucy if anyone wants to testthem [12:21] pmcgowan, you really dont want to use them the next two-three days [12:21] i'm actively shuffling bits around [12:22] (you would end up with a container in a container in a container in a ...

Install instructions are included on the wifi, but I have no idea about the warranty [13:23] when will ubuntu touch be fully out [13:24] to the public [13:24] in october [13:24] sergiusens: any way to make the user backup script save the current timezone? [13:24] you should be able to start dogfooding by end of this month though [13:25] ogra_, good job on the container switch stuff, sounds complex :-) Do you know if it has reached the daily images yet? === mmrazik|afk is now known as mmrazik [13:26] ok ty [13:26] diwic, it wont go into raring, and saucy is in flux (i should have them ready by end of the week with some luck) [13:26] diwic, i wouldnt recommend using the saucy image while i do the switch though [13:27] ogra_, okay, so the "dogfooding project", will that be done on raring or saucy? [13:27] both hopefully ... but we wont switch to saucy until the container flip is done [13:28] and then there will still be bugs in userspace caused by the flip [13:28] ogra_, thanks for the update. The audio stuff is partially blocked by the container flip, so just curious. [13:29] we have all pieces ready just not all of them implemented yet, by friday i should be able to point you to some install instructions [13:30] ogra_, yeah, no worries. I have other stuff to do too :-) [13:30] good :) === mzanetti|lunch is now known as mzanetti [13:36] bfiller: yes, I was adding that to the build [13:36] ogra_: overrides are in lp:session-manager [13:36] yeah, found them === jhodapp|dr is now known as jhodapp [13:36] ack [13:36] we need to drop that for saucy [13:37] sergiusens: there was a good post on the mailing list about doing that [13:37] would be helpful [13:37] i removed mountall already [13:38] hopefully after the flip we can remove all overrides [13:38] well, we should remove them now :) [13:38] i'm in the middle of the flip with the saucy images already [13:39] (if livecd-rootfs shows ever up in the archive i can move on) [13:39] mountall is already gone [13:39] udev needs to be next [13:40] * ogra_ adds android-tools-adbd to the seeds [13:46] dpm, question: are we supposed to update the .po files ourselves or just the .pot file and LP will take care of the rest? [13:48] Saviq, you should only worry about updating the .pot file and committing it to the branch whenever there are new strings or before a release. Launchpad will then take care of all the rest [13:49] dpm, yup, great, thanks [13:49] no ;) [13:49] argh, *np [13:51] dpm: can launchpad automatically create the .pot from the source files? [13:53] timp, it can, but only for autotools + intltool based projects. It can do it for them because the rules for gettext are pretty standard there, but it cannot do the setup detection for cmake or qmake projects because the gettext support there is more... [13:53] freestyle :) [13:55] ok === francisco is now known as Guest51059 [14:00] dpm, technically speaking that sounds unconvincing. transifex can create pot files for non-autotools projects as well [14:00] mhall119: file a bug and attach /var/log/upstart/powerd.log [14:02] kalikiana, right, Launchpad has other considerations than Transifex. I don't know how they do it, but that's rather for the LP developers and architects to discuss, not me :) [14:03] mfisch: I've re-flashed it, I will if it happens again [14:03] dpm, sure, just saying that it sounds more like a digestible phrase than a technical reasoning [14:04] dpm, and I have an inner itch against doing things manual on a "dont forget" basis ;-) === dholbach_ is now known as dholbach [14:07] kalikiana, right, I'm pretty certain the LP devs did their homework, assessed what they could do and also had to match the resources they had to what they could achieve. Also the focus was to provide this feature for Ubuntu and message sharing with upstream projects in LP, and the biggest external upstream we had was GNOME, and with adding autotools + intltool POT support nearly all of it was covered [14:09] for other build systems there wasn't the predictability on the rules to use to build POT files. In any case, that's my recollection of the little involmement I had in it, not related to the actual development [14:10] kalikiana, I fully agree with you on not doing things manually, though [14:12] dpm, I didn't mean to get into an argument or criticize anyone. just noticed the wording is vague and imho not something to "accept" given today's QA standards [14:12] I'm sure the LP guys would take patches :) [14:14] ogra_: not sure if you noticed that lxc fails at install time on at least some of the phones, that's because of missing bridge support in the kernel. I'm going to upload a fix to saucy's lxc upstart job to make this non-fatal [14:15] stgraber, ah, no, i only tested on maguro ... [14:15] dpm, a quick stab at the ubuntu wiki suggests it's most likely just a missing command in the debian packaging [14:15] stgraber, shouldnt we ask the kernel team to set the right options instead ? [14:15] dpm, is there a bug open against the ui toolkit? [14:16] ogra_: well, we don't really need the bridge on the phone as we're using shared networking between the container and the "host" [14:16] ah, network bridge, ok [14:16] kalikiana, a bug for what? [14:17] dpm, missing pot for the ui toolkit, which timp was looking at [14:17] I guess it wasn't filed then :-) === cul- is now known as cul [14:18] kalikiana, gotcha. Yep, we've been talking about bug 1175724 [14:18] bug 1175724 in Ubuntu UI Toolkit "[i18n] Enable UI Toolkit translations in Launchpad" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1175724 === barry` is now known as barry === davmor2_ is now known as help === help is now known as davmor2 === Darkwing_ is now known as Darkwing [14:43] om26er: can you explain ckpringle what happens with the camera unit tests when you push the zoom button ? does the launcher come up ? why are they unreliable ? [14:49] nerochiaro, ckpringle if the screen is rotated it pulls out the notification area. while interacting with the slider, [14:49] om26er: right but the shell should orientate too [14:49] (I know it doesn't yet) [14:50] ckpringle, also in the portrait mode if I try to interact with the slider at times the launcher is pulled out, so have to carefully target the slider === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk [14:52] in general, the launcher and window switcher could be made smarter, so that it would ignore to-the-edge-and-back movemenet [14:52] and only respond to swipes that originate from outside [15:02] om26er: is that only if you do it manually or also with autopilot tests ? [15:03] tmoenicke, ping === gusch_ is now known as gusch_|away [15:03] nerochiaro, autopilot tests have a different problem, that I think is slider handle being is too small for autopilot, or we are doing something wrong in our tests that the slider handle is not grabbed with autopilot === dholbach_ is now known as dholbach === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader [15:10] mardy: hey, can you update me on the Trojita work you started on? === dandrader is now known as dandrader|lunch [15:13] How does an app or Unity know that they are switching from phone to tablet to desktop modes? Is that signal/API done yet? [15:13] * ogra_ doubts that [15:14] ogra_, bummer [15:14] convergence is 14.04 stuff ... 13.10 is just "make sure to not shoot ourselves in the foot once we'll get there" [15:14] om26er: the slider handle can't be too small, autopilot will position the cursor even on a single pixel [15:15] bfiller: if you wanna give a try to tabs, check out lp:~osomon/webbrowser-app/tabsmodel (disclaimer: it’s ugly and not fully functional yet) [15:15] mterry: no [15:15] mterry: that signal/API is not there yet [15:15] nerochiaro, do you have a device?

[15:17] om26er: never ran tests on the device [15:17] nerochiaro, right, I reported bug 1179592 if you have a few spare cycles can you please look into that [15:17] bug 1179592 in camera-app "Zoom slider +/- icons missing, causes autopilot test to fail" [Medium,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1179592 [15:18] nerochiaro, I think that could be a root cause for all the slider related tests failures [15:18] bfiller: note that I haven’t tested on the phone yet, the UI probably looks even uglier there [15:18] that's actually a regression from the time when autopilot tests were disabled in jenkins [15:21] mfisch: ping [15:21] bfiller: pong [15:21] mfisch: build 138 (today's), power button never turning screen back on. you seeing this?

[15:29] i cant get any of the new features to work in saucy apparently [15:31] (in fact powerd doesnt even start automatically here) [15:32] om26er: let me try on desktop then [15:32] nerochiaro, also see the screenshot on the device, note the right border: http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=259334 [15:32] that's a regression [15:32] ogra_: jenkins is uploading for raring, not sure what's going on with saucy, but I'm back on UfA as of today [15:33] hmm [15:33] nerochiaro, oh and see in my screenshot there is no +/- on the Nexus 4 as well [15:39] ogra_: Its probable that saucy isn't being updated by jenkins [15:39] yeah, that should be fixed [15:42] mfisch, jenkins is not doing anything at the moment :-) [15:42] so I hear [15:42] heh [15:42] good point [15:53] ogra_: powerd releases to whatever is in the changelog [15:54] mhall119: ubuntu touch has used powerd since the begining ;-) Just not the auto suspend :-) [15:54] well, would be good to have all packages in saucy for regressiion testing [15:54] mfisch: did you see asac 's MRs? If you are not taking care of it... I might just jump in and work on it [15:54] i bet we'll have a lot of fun with our stuff and the removal of consolekit in saucy [15:55] sergiusens: ah,I should be more specific then [15:55] everything using dbus should be tested against that [15:55] ogra_: I can work on an auto copy (already have code for it, jsut need to create a package list) [15:55] sergiusens: sforshee is on it already [15:55] ok [15:55] mhall119: sorry for being pedantic :-P [15:55] mhall119: speaking of which, are we good to add the terminal app?

[16:06] asac, I haven't made changes to move some of the stuff to the mainloop like you did. We could look at that, it just wasn't in the code I had already written. [16:06] please look at that unless everything will get thrown away [16:07] asac, a lot of the display-related code is temporary [16:08] yeah, surfaceflinger will hopefully be gone soon [16:08] sure, so move it into single threading please first [16:08] this mutexing is just scary [16:08] the looper can be wrapped in a GSource :) [16:09] the on_new_event entry point in code is stil the same [16:09] so the patch is still very close ... just need to add the wakelocking on top [16:10] anyway ... will not look at this code again unless my phone on/off is again not working well :) [16:10] which means: snappy and robust :) [16:11] asac, my changes are approved and just waiting on jenkins to be merged, they make display on/off much better [16:12] ok tell me when i will test === mmrazik is now known as mmrazik|afk [16:12] but please do the event loop fix [16:12] the amount of mutexes you land is really scary :) [16:12] solve it in one place will make the thing just more fantastic [16:12] * asac shuts up :) [16:13] mhall119, ping [16:14] fginther: pong [16:15] mhall119, any progress with launchpad ops on armhf builds?

[16:21] mhall119: I think so, or at least it's worth a good try [16:22] mhall119: the code is clean and structured to run on many different UIs [16:22] cool, thanks mardy === gusch_|away is now known as gusch [16:24] sforshee: seems to be timing related, was working mostly now it's not. Any info I can get now that it's in the state to help debug? [16:25] bfiller, I could take a look at /var/log/upstart/powerd.log [16:27] sforshee: https://pastebin.canonical.com/91715/ [16:29] sforshee: might be happening when you try to wake it right away after screen goes black, need to try some more [16:29] sforshee: it's definitely still running but not responding to power button event [16:29] bfiller, from the log it looks like powerd is still trying to turn the screen on [16:30] bfiller: if you need a work around, sudo initctl restart powerd, from ssh [16:31] sforshee: yup, when I press the power button I see this in the log: https://pastebin.canonical.com/91716/ [16:32] bfiller, maybe the backlight is off. What does 'cat /sys/class/backlight/s6e8aa0/brightness' output? [16:32] try that a few times after pressing the power button and see if it changes [16:33] sforshee: 0 each time [16:33] never changes [16:33] bfiller, that's probably the problem [16:33] try poking in 255: 'echo 255 > /sys/class/backlight/s6e8aa0/brightness' [16:33] sforshee: I'm on galayx nexus [16:33] then see if things are better [16:34] trying [16:35] sforshee: yeah that made it work [16:36] sforshee: arg, but just got it back into the hosed state after playing with it for a while [16:37] bfiller, be sure you give it 5 seconds after pressing the power button for the screen to come on. There's a problem with that in today's image, which I have a fix for. [16:38] sforshee: ok [16:38] bfiller, I was able to reproduce [16:38] I have a guess as to what's causing this [16:38] sforshee: shouldn't powerd always set the correct state of backlight? maybe it's already doing this.. [16:39] bfiller, I think it's a race where it may read the "current" backlight value while it's 0, then it will never set it to any other value [16:39] lp:~sforshee/powerd/display-improvements might fix it if you want to give that a try [16:40] oh, those changes are on trunk now as well [16:41] mardy: is there a bzr branch with the trojita stuff in it, or only git? [16:44] mhall119: only git [16:44] ok [16:53] asac, bfiller: here's a build with the display changes if you want to test: http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/powerd_0.10_armhf.deb [16:56] sforshee: thanks, I'll try [16:56] sforshee: is it snappy? [16:56] asac, yep :-) [16:56] good ... if not i will let you know [16:56] dont have wget yet :) [16:58] wget it ! [16:58] sforshee: screen is flashing more than before for whatever reason [16:58] you also should add the cancel event feature i landed on the snappy branch [16:58] i think [16:59] oh [16:59] its again dead :) [16:59] not robust !!! [16:59] screen stays black :) [16:59] see above [16:59] take the saved_brightness hu nk i guess [16:59] from my patch [17:00] asac, I haven't gotten a chance to go back to your patch and pick out the changes yet [17:00] ok [17:00] one sec [17:00] i till point you directly :) [17:00] asac, I can't reproduce the black screen anymore, how did you get it? [17:01] just rapidly click on and of [17:01] f [17:01] sometimes change the rhythm [17:01] then you get it [17:01] it happens if you activate [17:01] wait [17:01] it happens if you suspend while you activated [17:01] but activation didnt happen [17:01] then you remember saved_brightness forevetr as 0 :) [17:02] sforshee: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~asac/powerd/fix-racy-screen-on-and-no-mutex-refactor/revision/23 [17:02] and i think you want most from here: https://code.launchpad.net/~asac/powerd/snappy-on-off-with-delayed-suspend-cancellation [17:02] starting at rev 27 [17:02] atm the events pile up and get discarded, while they should just get fast pathed if there is a pending event that is in "delayed" [17:03] Is there a ubuntu components only repository list so I can build stock CM and integrate the ubuntu components accordingly? [17:03] RehpotsirhC: stock CM wouldn't work [17:03] have you read the porting guide [17:03] asac, the problem with that is that before long we'll have external clients processing and acknowledging the state changes, and when we can't simply throw it away [17:03] it's more about removing bits than adding any :) [17:04] RehpotsirhC: go over all the commits in phablet.ubuntu.com and you will why [17:04] (there are only three ubuntu trees in the build) [17:04] ogra_, I have. Unfortunately the Phablet-10.1 repositories don't support the new device configurations (mainly jfltecan) and how it separates the def configurations. [17:04] ogra_: well, me modified most of the git repos as well (kernel, service manager ring a bell among others) [17:05] During compilation it complains about not specifying the variant configuration. [17:05] brb [17:05] oh, right, but even there it is rather removal than addition [17:05] asac, the backlight fix is sane enough given that long-term the code will be thrown away [17:10] right [17:15] asac: looks like you've been patching some code I have a question about :) [17:15] doanac: yeah ask me ... i am the only one who knows only half truth here :) [17:15] is there a relatively easy way (shell or python) to request the screen be turned on and left on? [17:15] doanac: by whom? [17:15] ah by shell or python [17:15] ideally, one of those [17:16] we definitely dont want to provide such feature to apps directly, but not sure if that means we could have that in the dbus api [17:16] sforshee: ? [17:16] i have a test where I need to drain the battery rapidly. turning the screen on helps accelerate that === jono is now known as Guest93857 [17:17] doanac, powerd-cli active [17:17] doanac, oh, but that won't keep the screen on [17:17] no, we don't have that capability currently [17:17] sforshee: yeah, that's what I was seeing last night [17:18] i tried going through sysfs with blank/unblank and brightness stuff, but it just seemed to get things out of whack [17:18] doanac, the only way would be if mfisch's changes to make the screen timeout configurable has an always-on value, but iirc it does not [17:19] sforshee: so what do you see my most efficient avenue for getting this done is? [17:19] I think we add a new value and not overload this one [17:19] i can help contribute a patch if needed [17:20] doanac, feel free to contribute a patch, otherwise I'll add it to my todo list === Shiva is now known as MadShiva [17:20] Hello [17:20] has mfisch's branch landed? or do i need to work off something not merged? [17:21] it's in powerd trunk [17:21] yes, in trunk for the setting [17:21] okay. === jjardon__ is now known as jjardon [17:21] doanac: you need to leave the screen on, or turn it on over and over? [17:21] mfisch: i need to leave the screen on for a while. and then probably let it go back to its default behavior [17:22] mfisch: any tips/pitfalls for testing powerd? [17:22] doanac: sudo dbus-launch gsettings set com.canonical.powerd activity-timeout 3600 [17:22] doanac: that will keep the screen on for 1 hour [17:22] mfisch: that should work for me [17:23] w/o having to get my hands dirty [17:23] doanac: you have to reboot the phone or restart powerd after changing that [17:23] doanac: we're not listening for setting changes currently [17:23] I have a small question. I would like to follow the instruction that's on the webpage but it's there some chance that I brick my tablet ? [17:24] thanks guys! === greyback|food is now known as greyback [17:25] mhall119: just tried the latest terminal app, everything I type is hidden (color wise) until I press enter [17:25] sergiusens: go to the settings tab and increase the font to 14 [17:25] I'm not sure why, but the font size seems to affect that [17:25] too big or too small and it won't display it all the time [17:25] 14 works for me on my nexus 7 [17:27] mhall119: hey. do you know if the SDK will be getting shipped into precise-backports or precise-updates at all? or will it only be available as the thing that installs in /opt? [17:27] mhall119: 14 onwards works for me on maguro... can we make 14 the default? [17:28] dobey: it should be available via the PPA, and install to /usr/share/ [17:28] for precise [17:28] bug #1182503 [17:28] bug 1182503 in Ubuntu Terminal App "Command does not appear until enter is pressed" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1182503 [17:28]
