[00:26] when is Ubuntu touch going to be ported to the LG phones ??? [00:27] I will take an answer from anyone [00:27] it was supposed to be stabe by the end of May.....how goes the progress [00:31] ok...no one is going to answer [00:31] i will be leaving soon [00:38] firefly5x: I don't believe that we have any plans to port UT to LG phones, but the community may have already done it? [00:38] (Other than the Nexus 4, obviously) [00:39] I just know RAOF that they have been working on alot of phones by different people [00:40] Well i have to get off.....everyone have a good night..... [00:42] or day depending where you are [01:26] does anyone know how close gsm data is? [01:39] Questions about Ubuntu Phone | http://askubuntu.com/q/307084 [01:52] Hey all, anyone know where I should start looking for fixing a non-existant battery indicator? [03:02] I have google Nexus S I would like to try ubuntu phone is this possible? I am already rooted and have fastboot mode and clockwork mod recovery [04:17] Porting for Dummies how do I? | http://askubuntu.com/q/307118 [05:14] does anyone know how close gsm data is? [05:42] ubuntu touch will have a full on bash terminal? [05:47] djcanadajeff: It has remote shell access right now via (1) adb shell or (2) ssh. I've also seen a prototype native (Qt) shell on Mir. So yes there will be options [05:48] But not necessarily options available by default [06:28] good morning [06:31] hmm, is something using the "qmlscene-ubuntu" executable from qtubuntu, or is it truly an 'example' as it's under such directory? [06:31] (and what is it in the first place, some qmlscene with -platform ubuntu or something?) [07:47] I grepped through the device filesystem and found no direct users, so I guess it's safe to move it to an examples package === oSoMoN_ is now known as oSoMoN [08:15] anyone able to install ubuntu touch on galaxy tab 2 P3100 [08:17] i was able to for quantal rom but not raring one [08:34] ogra_, hey [08:34] yo [08:34] ogra_, I think I read some weeks ago that you were working aggregating all the licenses infos from the touch image ... is that stored somewhere on the image? [08:35] if yes, "where?" ;-) [08:35] seb128, nope, and i only ran a licensecheck across the android tree and sorted by licenses [08:36] hum, k [08:36] do you know if anyone is working on that/if that's planned? [08:36] nope, i dont, i know that we will need that stuff for the android packaging [08:37] the "about this device" panel has a "software licenses" section that's supposed to "navigate to a single “Software Licenses” screen that consists of a single text view listing all the licenses for included software" [08:37] if you just want a list of the licenses for installed apps, /usr/share/doc has the copyright files [08:37] no, I think we want an access to the licenses that are part of the OS [08:38] android has that as well, I guess it's a legal requirement [08:38] "settings -> about this device -> legal mentions" on android gives you an endless list of apk and licenses [08:38] sure, but the only safe way would be to parse /usr/share/doc either at build time or at runtime [08:39] well, will our "base image" have all its licenses in /usr/share/doc? [08:39] it currently does we dont have unpackaged software atm [08:40] ckpringle: ping [08:40] and if it is püackaged it has to have a copyright file [08:40] ok, I though the base image might not be fully made of .deb in the futur [08:40] which is why I was wondering [08:40] i think for assembling it we will always use debs [08:40] ogra_, I will start with that, thanks [08:41] we might delete the package DB before publishing or such stuff [08:41] whats the container flip mentioning in the kernel team meeting minutes? [08:41] but i thionk you can rely on debs as the initial base [08:41] h01ger, i'm working on banning android into an lxc container and boot directly into the ubuntu rootfs [08:42] ogra_, awesome [08:42] with a little luck we are done by end of the week with the developer image [08:42] nice [08:42] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/current/ there are already pretty experimental ones [08:42] * h01ger is personally mostly blocked by the lack of PIN support, my SIM has one... [08:43] (boots on maguro and mako, the next build should also work partially on grouper (adb at least)) [08:43] you could disable the PIN in an android phone [08:43] ogra_, this android container is pretty pretty nifty [08:44] well with the flip and udev running on the ubuntu side it produces a lot of headaches :) [08:44] we are still fiddling on a proper solution for that [08:44] oh. didnt know that. (not that i have an android phone.. [08:44] (disable pin) [08:45] android comes with a tool to change and unset the pin [08:45] (and to set it again indeed) [08:45] ic [08:45] i assume we will have such a thing too at some point [08:45] nik90: hey [08:45] nik90: sorry I missed you yesterday [08:45] ogra_, well, i hope first there is PIN support :) [08:46] haha, yeah thats kind of a requirement :) [08:47] :) [08:47] seems to be pretty simple with AT commands: http://www.dostmuhammad.com/blog/disable-pin-code-using-gsm-modem-at-commands/ [08:50] yeah, well, you need to talk directly to rild i think ... and rild is a vendor distributed binary blob with not 100% defined api it seems ... so vendors can change behavior etc [08:50] it was already problematic to get ofono to talk to both supported nexus phones in the same way [08:50] (ofono sits on top of rild) [08:50] ic.

[09:52] Siddo: try grabbing some RAM from http://www.downloadmoreram.com/ [09:53] not that RAM! to install ubuntu touch on my phone! [09:54] Hi! [09:54] Did someone have instaled Ubuntu on Prestigio 4500 touch phone? === gusch_ is now known as gusch [09:57] How to install ubuntu touch on my android phone? | http://askubuntu.com/q/307223 [09:58] Does Ubuntu Touch currently use X or Mir? The documentation on the site seems extremely poor with regards to the core components in use. [09:58] it uses surfaceflinger and will switch to Mir soon [10:00] ogra_: I see. Thanks. [10:13] Hey [10:13] Anyone here familiar with the ARM Chromebook? === chriadam is now known as chriadam|away [10:14] I noticed it's EXTREMELY similar to the Nexus 10, and I was wondering if I could get Ubuntu Touch on my chromebook [10:14] considering they have the same GPU, CPU, and board. [10:15] you would need a properly working android port first ... [10:15] true... [10:15] and then you would have to live with a touch UI on a device without touchscreen ... [10:15] I know [10:15] I want to do this as a "just because" kind of thing [10:16] additionally there is no cursor support ... so you would have to navigate blind [10:16] well then [10:16] okay nevermind. [10:16] Another question [10:16] you can run the normal ubuntu arm on a chromebook ... with a desktop install [10:16] Actually, I can't because it cannot initialize the graphics [10:17] so x11 can't even live [10:17] xfbdev should just work [10:17] I tried that [10:17] (completely unaccelerated indeed) [10:17] Plymouth refuses to load [10:17] and I hate the idea of unaccelerated [10:17] and there is an armsoc driver that should work too [10:17] This brings me to another question [10:17] but only partially accelerated [10:17] What display driver is Ubuntu Touch for the Nexus 10 using? [10:17] nevermind [10:18] totally different display server [10:18] >.< [10:18] best is to talk to "hrw" in #ubuntu-arm .... he does a lot of the chromebook stuff [10:18] I'll head over [10:18] ubuntu touch uses androids surfaceflinger currently [10:18] and switches to Mir soon [10:19] whcih means no accelerated graphics, yay :D [10:19] (on the desktop version) [10:19] well, armsoc kind of works with the chromeos GLES libs [10:19] Hi all! [10:19] Hey aryo [10:20] I heard that there's an accelerated driver in the 13.10 repos? === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun === alan_g is now known as alan_g|afk === alan_g|afk is now known as alan_g === oSoMoN|afk is now known as oSoMoN === SkavenXXI-[OFF] is now known as SkavenXXI === MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch [11:24] Hi [11:29] Hey [11:32] there is a regression in the shell, starting an app from commandline does not bring that app to the front... [11:32] if there is an already running and focused application then the newly start app from terminal comes to the front [11:37] File a bug report :) [11:38] om26er, i think the first one was always like this ... you should see it in the apps lens in the running apps though [11:39] ogra_, that was if the --desktop_file_hint parameter was not provided, but I am using dektop_file_hint as well [11:39] so its clearly a regression, it was working a few days ago. It makes autopilot testing problematic because our app does not come to focus in its test run..

[13:01] Saviq, I'm trying to figure the recommended way to add some empty space between 2 specific elements of a column [13:01] Saviq, should I just dump a rectangle with empty background color or something (that feels hackish) [13:01] seb128, adding an Item { } is the usual way [13:01] ah [13:01] Saviq, thanks ;-) [13:02] seb128, as Column doesn't take margins into account, you either need to expand the items themselves [13:02] seb128, or add a spacer Item { } [13:03] Saviq, spacer Item {} seems good, I was looking for a "real widget" and tried using rectangle, I didn't think about going back one step and simply use an Item {} ... thanks ;-) [13:03] seb128, cheers [13:03] popey: it's Ubuntu Touch Clinic time [13:04] o/ [13:04] mhall119: is that here in this channel? [13:05] * popey tweets [13:05] yeah, we encourage people to come here at this time, so they can get familiar with everyone, ask questions etc [13:05] t1mp: yup [13:05] ooh, count me in! [13:06] this time was chosen as it's useful to have US people awake ☻ [13:07] I managed to get my nexus 4 to spontaneously reboot today, can't reproduce it now [13:07] is there some likelyhood it's logged somewhere? [13:08] popey: could check /proc/last_kmsg [13:08] popey, well, have a look at the logfiles ... *especially* on their size [13:08] hello guys, what's the best way to turn off auto dim of screen on device? :D [13:08] popey, i only fixed it in the flipped images yet, but syslog and powerd.log got filled within 2h to 2GB here [13:09] I was going to flash today but I saw ogra saying that saucy is coming so I held off [13:09] (/var/log/upstart/powerd.log that is) [13:09] * popey looks [13:10] Saviq, ok, since I'm in ping mood and you have been nice to me, one last question for today ... is there an easy way to get the value of the space between the red lines on http://ubuntuone.com/1ALvTtqkzOOrP4uwJ3GJDq ?

(and I'm not sure how to get the embedded text height then) [13:12] popey, well, the watchdog kicked off the reboot ... no idea why though [13:12] i was rotating the phone and unlocking at the same time [13:12] seb128, what's the use case? [13:13] seb128, do you want a separator of that height or something? [13:13] popey, ah, k, thats indeed out special reboot command setup ... like the three finger salute :P [13:13] Saviq, the usecase is for the UI in that screenshot [13:13] Saviq, mpt wrote " seb128, hm, neither of those seem good ways of defining spacing ... It should be exactly as much as between the top of "Legal:" and the line above it, for example. It's part of the overall "Software:" group." [13:13] hah [13:13] (not ... ) [13:13] Saviq, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AboutThisDevice?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=phone-about.png [13:14] popey: btw, anyone with whom I could talk about the emulator? [13:14] Saviq, there is some spacing between the "check for updates" button and "Legal:" since those are separate sections [13:14] penk_: I think there's a dbus call you can make [13:14] seb128, what you need is a Header item, really, right? [13:14] cdesai: I'd recommend asking whatever specific questions you have here and we can poke the right people [13:14] seb128, that both Software: and Legal: would be [13:15] for a start, I would like to get my patches in / some repositories forked [13:15] ogra_: do you know if apps can programatically call the screen brightness setting? [13:15] sergiusens: have you seen cdesai's patches on the ubuntu-phone list? [13:15] mhall119, i dont ... but you can indeed just talk to sysfs driectly (which would likely be an api viiolation but work) [13:16] popey: going to today or tomorrow [13:16] popey: once freed from saucy [13:16] thanks [13:16] thanks [13:16] popey: but I did look at them [13:16] seb128, there's a "grouped list" usecase in the SDK lists already [13:17] will be curious to see if that emulator stuff works at all with the flipped images [13:17] Saviq, hum, ListItem.Header has less spacing apparently and it's more aligned on the left ... that doesn't exactly match the design [13:17] Saviq, but I guess we could argue that the design should be updated to use standard widgets [13:17] seb128, yes please [13:17] seb128, and modify the standard widgets to match, if the decision is made so [13:17] ogra_: it should if we modify the ramdisk, since all it does it load the images [13:18] seb128, ubuntu-ui-toolkit-examples [13:18] Saviq, thanks, I will open a bug about that so we have a place to have discussion [13:18] is there a way to start a qml app with translations in a specific language? [13:18] cdesai, the flipped container images boot into a plain ubuntu and then start android in an lxc container later [13:18] seb128, install that, run "Ubuntu UI Toolkit Gallery" [13:18] seb128, there's a "List Items" item [13:18] ogra_: sorry to dissappoint http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~indicator-applet-developers/indicator-power/phablet/view/head:/src/ib-brightness-control.c <- mhall119 [13:18] seb128, and there's a "Grouped list" at the bottom [13:19] line 51 [13:19] Saviq, yep, got that [13:19] ogra_: not sure how well would that work in QEMU, but if that doesn't work, we could use virtualbox [13:19] sergiusens: what am I looking at? [13:19] sergiusens, well, i can still write a C++ plugin that talks directly to sysfs if i want [13:19] cdesai: there's benefits to the android emulator though.. [13:19] we dont do anything to prevent that [13:19] mhall119: brightness control from the indicator [13:19] like sensors triggering/ [13:19] ? [13:20] popey: I'm not 100% sure, but AFAIK the emulator doesn't emulate any sensors [13:21] Saviq, http://ubuntuone.com/5E43IdpvxlyxT16jdZLF4b is how it looks with Headers use [13:21] mpt, ^ [13:21] sergiusens: hmmm, so there won't be anything exposed to apps? [13:21] mpt, does that work for you (Software: and Legal are Header elements there)? [13:21] mhall119: that's a bzoltan question [13:21] seb128, yup [13:22] mpt, Saviq: if that's not good I will open a bug on the toolkit that Header look need to be tweaked [13:22] I am here [13:22] mhall119: there should though [13:22] Saviq, thanks again ;-) [13:22] seb128, cheers [13:22] seb128, remember, that's the last one for today! ;) [13:22] sergiusens: mhall119: what was the question? [13:22] Saviq, no worry, I will ping Kaleo for my next question :p [13:22] * seb128 hides [13:22] bzoltan: will there be an API for apps to control screen brightness [13:22] bzoltan: do you know if anyone is working on exposing brightness and general sensor apis or the sdk? [13:23] sergiusens: not as I know [13:23] bzoltan, why can't we use qtsensor with the platform api? [13:23] bzoltan: ok, I'll talk about it with my team [13:23] seb128, don't worry, he's not up yet, probably, slacker! [13:24] ;-) [13:24] tvoss: I see no reason not to [13:25] seb128, yeah, I think the headers, non-headers, and buttons should all line up horizontally (i.e. their left edges should all be the same) [13:25] bzoltan, cool then, I think jhodapp might be the right person to talk to [13:25] tvoss: yes, he made the orientation adaptation ... so he should know the details [13:25] bzoltan, yup [13:25] can someone advise on the enterprise connection plans for touch? [13:26] tvoss: I ping him [13:26] bzoltan, need me? [13:26] FunkyPenguin: anything specific you hve in mind? [13:26] jhodapp: yes :) desperately [13:27] mhall119: the items that spring to mind are exchange connectivity, and 802.1x EAP wifi connectivity [13:27] bzoltan, what's up? [13:27] both prevent me from using it with work [13:28] jhodapp: it is about wiring up the platform apis to the qtsensor [13:28] FunkyPenguin: exchange connectivity is something we're discussing, specifically for email, but getting that working in non-MS software has been notoriously difficult [13:28] wifi stuff I don't know about, do we not already support that on the desktop? [13:29] mhall119: true, but if one takes evolution as an example, their implementation of exchange web services work very well [13:29] do they now? I haven't tried in a few years, and back then it was awful [13:29] Q: What's the status on the GUI for data over 3g? [13:30] what's wrong with nmcli! :D [13:30] * mhall119 kicks popey [13:30] yeah, unfortunately i cant use it on Ubuntu as 12.04 doesnt have ews, but it works fine in the other distros i use (primarily openSUSE) [13:30] popey, was that bug the first time after you synced or just a random boot [13:30] ews? [13:31] mpt, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1190234 [13:31] Launchpad bug 1190234 in Ubuntu UI Toolkit "ListItem.Header should be horizontal aligned with standard elements" [Undecided,New] [13:31] pmcgowan: my phone randomly rebooted, so that may be the first reboot since syncing [13:31] popey: last time i checked your fingers weren't that dainty, how in sauron's name do you get by using the terminal for so much on the phone?! [13:31] tvoss: we got the bp for the alarm api -> https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/sdk-system-alarm-api I guess/hope you have some thoughts about how the backend part is coming together. I have checked today the Meego's timed code and it look useful for as...and it comes with gpl [13:31] FunkyPenguin: i have a script ☻ [13:31] drag up to see previous commands, press enter [13:32] I have lady-like hands btw ㋛ [13:32] FunkyPenguin: have you tried the terminal on the phone? zdmitry has done an amazing job on it [13:32] ah, i wondered how one got previous commands, thanks [13:33] the terminal app is pretty awesome [13:33] bzoltan, @backend: I proposed to push the functionality into the date/time indicator, which would have the benefit of being able to provide a UI to users [13:33] bzoltan, the API would hide that of course [13:34] yeah it is indeed pretty good, how does one add an app to favourites? [13:35] tvoss: would that work as a queue what any app and system service could use? [13:35] bzoltan, queue as in? [13:35] FunkyPenguin: that's not been implemented yet [13:36] ah, ok thanks [13:37] tvoss: like a daemon [13:37] I wonder about the same as jcastro does: how is the GUI for 3g data going? [13:37] the Favorites on the Dash will probably be picked based on your usage history [13:38] the Launcher you should be able to add and remove stuff manually though [13:38] bzoltan, similar, yes. the indicator-service's lifetime is limited by the session lifetime, but it exceeds the lifetime of apps [13:39] tvoss: Saviq: who's working on the network indicator? I assume that's where we're going to put the 3g switching GUI [13:40] mhall119, UI - us / dednick, backend - thostr's team, tedg? [13:40] mhall119: how does one pin an app to the launcher then? [13:41] jcastro and kramer654 would like to know what the status is on that, do we have mockups, working code, anything? [13:41] or remove one even? [13:41] Saviq, renato_ implemented something in the UI that did not land if its useful [13:41] FunkyPenguin: also not implemented yet :) [13:41] heh, ok [13:41] FunkyPenguin: right now the list is hard-coded in a QML file [13:41] tvoss: that is a viable solution. Do you think a timed like service would be something to consider? http://gitorious.org/meego-middleware/timed [13:41] pmcgowan, yeah, we have that in queue, apparently waiting for drivers to land [13:41] mhall119: could that be edited, as a work around? [13:42] ack [13:42] pmcgowan, depends on https://code.launchpad.net/~renatofilho/indicator-server/device-switch/+merge/166300 [13:42] bzoltan, for inspiration: definitely...I just want to keep the number of services as low as possible. And the alarm functionality is a good fit for the date-time-indicator [13:43] FunkyPenguin: yes, you'll need to edit /usr/share/qml-phone-shell/Applications/applications.js and /usr/share/qml-phone-shell/Launcher/Launcher.qml [13:43] IIRC [13:44] mhall119: ok thanks [13:44] applications.js is keeps a list of app launcher meta-data that Launcher.qml looks at, instead of looking for .desktop files, unless they've gotten that working since I last tried to modify the launcher [13:45] tvoss: good point, taken [13:45] mhall119, is there any plans on making it (launcher) to have items in based on mimeType or application id or something like that ? [13:45] tvoss, We should probably map those upstart events. We have "desktop-start" and "desktop-end", and "indicator-start", etc. Perhaps we should have an application region or something like that as well. [13:45] bobweaver: I don't think so, as fas as I know it will behave just like the desktop Launcher [13:46] mhall119, like unity-2d launcher [13:46] tvoss, Guarantee a specific setup/take down to make things simpler. [13:46] mhall119, Network indicator is mine... [13:46] tedg: how far are we from a GUI for switching over to 3g? [13:46] tedg, not entirely sure I'm following you :) [13:46] mhall119, Weeks at least. [13:47] tvoss, Just say "yes" then :-) [13:47] tedg, nope :) default answer if I don't understand: nope :) [13:47] tvoss, I'm just saying that we have upstart events right now that basically associate to regions of login/shutdown. But they're relatively ad hoc, we should be more explicit about them. [13:47] bzoltan: can we get those alarm API work items set to a milestone, so we know when to expect them? [13:48] tedg, that sounds sane to me, basically "marking" important events in the system/session lifecycle (rephrasing to make sure I understand what you are saying) [13:48] tedg, would help in testing, too [13:49] tvoss, Yup, I was more worried about session, but you can worry about system too :-) [13:49] Question I am making a app in c++/qml and can not figure out how to expose the c++ to the qml. Here is a example of main.cpp http://paste.ubuntu.com/5758277/ but when I call homePath in qml it shows (console.log) file://home/user/Videos what is up with that ? [13:49] tvoss, I don't think system needs as much work because we'll inherit the upstart setup there. [13:49] tedg, yup, agreed [13:49] * tvoss thinks we should draw some fancy lifetime diagram [13:50] tvoss, initctl2dot [13:50] * tvoss also thinks that tedg will use inkscape for that ... again :) [13:50] tedg, ;) [13:50] Another question: whatsapp-support is one of my three must-haves. I know there has been some work on an open source client called Whosthere, but the activity seemed to have stopped (last activity 3 months ago) and on launchpad it says it is discontinued. Will there be any support from Canonical for (a fork of) this project or any other alternative whatsapp implementation? [13:51] NM I see the error [13:51] arg(moviesLocation.first()); should be arg(homesLocation.first()); [13:51] I think .... [13:52] kramer654: I spoke with the whosthere developer, and his main problem was WhatsApp changing their authentication system [13:52] is sounds like he's been having to reverse-engineer something to work with their service, and it keeps changing [13:58] how can I start a qml app with translations on the phone in a specific language? or is this not possible at the moment? [13:59] netcurli: it is possible [13:59] ensure that you have a language installed on your system [13:59] and then LC_ALL=ar_AE.UTF-8 qmlscene ./ubuntu-clock-app.qml [14:00] where you replace ar_AE with language of your choice [14:01] thanks nik90, I will try that [14:02] arrr clearly stands for pirate language, used in barbados [14:03] mhall119: Thanks for your answer. I do hope that Canonical somehow can put energy in Whatsapp since it is for many a definite must-have on a phone. Maybe lobbying with whatsapp themselves is an option. Anyhow; I love the work that's being done on UTouch and I regularly check for updates. Looking forward to be flashing my phone with it, or even better, throw my money at the first Ubuntu phone that arives in stores.. :) === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk [14:05] kramer654: we're certainly in touch with the devloper [14:05] i thought he turned his stuff into a telepathy plugin [14:05] or do i misremember [14:06] ogra_: I think he did, but was still not able to get it working with their protocol changes [14:06] ah [14:06] popey: the developer of whosthere or the official developers of whatsapp? [14:06] whosthere [14:09] mhall119 mentioned that, but also that he isn't able to continue the app because of the chaning authentication system [14:11] Question: I want to set up a C++ thingy that works like this in qml. openMimeType(setmimetype , file ) how would one do this ? [14:12] bobweaver: ricmm and loicm were discussing implementing that part of the Platform API [14:12] which would make Qt.openUrlExternally() work [14:13] so I could say do something like Qt.openurlextrenael(openMimeType(video, "http://www.myvideo.com")) so this way a browser does not open that [14:13] yeah mhall119 the thing is is that alot I mean 3 tbs full of my movies and tv shows come from a server via xhttprequest [14:14] so when I go to open it with qt.openurlextrenal("http://fooo,com") It opens the browser and either starts to Download or opens yet anpother video player [14:15] I think openUrlExternally() won't call the browser if it doesn't need to, but I could be wrong [14:15] So I think that I have to make a c++ plugin that I can set the mimrtyoe for xdg to read [14:15] mhall119, you are wrong [14:15] it happens every once in a while :) [14:15] it reads via xdg [14:15] once in a while ....I am wrong all the time lol [14:16] anyone see this ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/webbrowser-app/+bug/1190252 [14:16] Launchpad bug 1190252 in webbrowser-app "Share/Save/Copy menu orientation incorrect" [Undecided,New] [14:18] popey, suggestions use qt.indow 5.0 and read the scrren size if width > height foo else upways [14:18] so it flips it automaticly === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader [14:23] bobweaver, sounds like the same issue on the desktop, for performance http:// isn't usually checked the same as local files [14:23] do you all think htat it would just be better to make a QProcess runner ? that looks for default media player ? just a bash script attached to qml [14:24] I hate giving users out side access though :( [14:25] kalikiana, I dont follow what do you mean ? [14:25] Oh I see for xdg [14:25] yeah I tried adding file:// but no go [14:25] video:// also [14:26] Here I will show example [14:26] http://youtu.be/v1iAyUiaCEg?t=5m13s [14:28] bobweaver, assuming glib g_app_info_launch_default_for_uri doesn't work the same as g_app_info_get_default_for_type for remote locations [14:28] see how it launchs the browser first it is because I am using Qt.openUrlExternally(DataBase.ipAddress()+":"+DataBase.port()+"/Content/GetVideo?Id="+id) [14:28] it can be arbitrarily slow to check if an http:///.... is a video or what else [14:28] you don't want to wait 5 minutes [14:29] bobweaver, so in glib you have a way to get an app for its type, not the url [14:29] and that's probably the direction you want to go [14:30] kalikiana, so using GConf [14:30] bobweaver, no, just .desktop files these days [14:30] there is MimeTypes= [14:30] and for browser there is a pseudo mime type for http [14:31]
