dholbachdpm, popey: do we know of folks who are struggling with getting their app submitted or are we generally fine?10:10
popeydholbach: right now we're okay.10:12
dholbachgood10:12
popeyThe two issues that everyone got yesterday...10:12
popeysome app developers wanted to use picture_files so they could store/use photos10:13
popeye.g. photos of recipes in Saucy Bacon, photos of memories in Memories app, and also in Cnotes10:13
popeythe other issue seemed to be a backend problem. We wasted too much time yesterday with the developers trying to understand and fix a problem which it turns out isn't supported by the backend yet AIUI10:14
popey    "lint_control_architecture_valid_contents": "found binaries for architecture 'all': "10:14
dholbachpopey, if they ship binaries, like .so files, they can change the architecture in the manifest to 'armhf'10:19
dholbachpopey, this should be automatic in the future10:19
popeythey did10:19
popeywe had people change the arch and it still complained10:19
dholbachoh?10:19
popeywhich led to the frustration because neither I nor nik90_ knew the solution10:19
dholbachthen jdstrand or beuno can maybe shed some light on this10:19
popeyi saw beuno had let an app through with a comment that the backend wasn't done, so I let others through10:19

nik90_good morning everyone :)10:53
randomcppnik90_, morning :)10:53
* nik90_ is going to start reviewing apps now10:54
randomcppnik90_, popey told me that on the phone, when the keyboard is showed, the textarea is covered by it10:54
randomcppdo you know if others had a similar issue?10:54
nik90_randomcpp: Do you mean the recipe instruction textfield?10:55
randomcppyes10:55
nik90_randomcpp: yeah some othe people also had it10:55
nik90_randomcpp: I think you can fix it with anchortoKeyboard: true or something10:55
nik90_boiko knows about it but isnt online no10:56
nik90_now*10:56
randomcpp:/10:56
randomcppnik90_, can I fix this kind of bugs even if the contest is over?10:57
nik90_randomcpp: I am not sure if it would taken in consideration while judging the app for contest, but people using your app would like a fix later.10:58
nik90_randomcpp: you should do it for them if not the contest10:58
randomcppnik90_, ah ok..10:59
nik90_zsombi: I fixed many of the comments in the alarm MP.10:59
nik90_randomcpp: but what you have to understand is that if you have a bug then most likely many of them have it as well. So at the end of the day, you are in the same plane as others10:59
zsombinik90_ I saw it, just haven't had time yet to check them...11:00
randomcppnik90_, ok, so I shouldn't be worried11:00
nik90_zsombi: no worries11:00

dholbachjppiiroinen, I just saw your bug fix land for qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu - does it need an upload?12:59
mefriobeuno, hi :)13:15
mefriobeuno, have you said to judges about my app situation? :)13:15
beunomefrio, I am passing it along, yes13:16
mefriobeuno, ok thank you :)13:17
jppiiroinendholbach: Mirv is handling the stuff related to releasing :) ..i am just a tool ;P13:35
dholbachjppiiroinen, you're joking :)13:35
dholbachMirv, was 2.8.1 ever uploaded or it this still in FF review?13:37
oSoMoNnerochiaro: would you mind reviewing https://code.launchpad.net/~osomon/webbrowser-app/unskip-test/+merge/185806 ? it unskips and fixes an autopilot test that started consistently failing last week13:52
nerochiarooSoMoN: on it in a minute when i finish running AP tests on device for another MR i had pending13:53
oSoMoNnerochiaro: thanks13:54
nerochiarooSoMoN: well, i'm actually gonna wait for jenkins to do its thing and then test the generated pacages on device13:54
oSoMoNnerochiaro: makes sense13:54
nerochiarooSoMoN: speaking of which, how would you do this same thing on a readonly image ?13:55
nerochiarooSoMoN: i switched back to cdimage-touch (without --pending) as i can't work on the ro images at all13:55
nerochiarofor now13:55
oSoMoNnerochiaro: why not?13:55
nerochiarooSoMoN: they are ro, i can't install debs13:55
nerochiarooSoMoN: i can't even push them on the device13:56
timpnerochiaro:  touch /userdata/.writable_image && reboot13:56
oSoMoNnerochiaro: there was an e-mail sent to ubuntu-phone@ on Sept. 5 titled "System images now the recommended way to deploy and update Ubuntu Touch" that explains how to make the RO images RW13:56
nerochiarooSoMoN: i need to figure out a way to handle that mailing list. it's too high traffic13:57
nerochiarooSoMoN: i keep missing important things13:57
oSoMoNnerochiaro: quickly scanning the subjects is usually enough to figure out whether a mail really is important or not13:58
nerochiarooSoMoN: hasn't been working very well for me judging from the results13:58
oSoMoNnerochiaro: works for me, ymmv…13:59
aquariusdpm, ping about generic scopes14:05
=== _5m0k3 is now known as wellsb
dpmhi aquarius, I'm about to enter a call with our mutual bearded friend, but feel free to ask and I'll read the scrollback :)14:54
aquariusdpm, ha! say hello for me :)14:54
dpmwill do :)14:54
aquariusdpm, my idea is this: having to write scopes in C is sad for people like me who are not good at C, and it's sad for the compile step (which is hard if you need to cross-compile for arm, set up your environment so that's possible, etc).14:55
aquariusdpm, I think it ought to be possible to write, in C, a "generic scope", which receives JSON from a URL and renders its output.14:55
dpmaquarius, indeed. I was actually thinking about this. The template we've got on Qt Creator has no backend, and extending it to use a JSON backend might be a very good idea14:56
dpmnote also that we recommend folks to develop scopes to run on the smart scopes server, so cross-compilation won't be as much of a pain unless you really want to run your scope locally14:57
aquariusThat is: you add to the .scope file the URL to fetch (so there's a new entry, X-Ubuntu-Generic-Scope-Search-URL: http://myserver.com/search?q=%s) and the URL to fetch data about an individual item (so there's a new entry, X-Ubuntu-Generic-Scope-Search-URL: http://myserver.com/item?id=%s), and the scope is hardcoded to look for JSON that looks like {items: [ { id: "item1", image: "url of image", title: "title"14:57
aquarius, description: "dscription" }, ... ] }14:57
aquariusthe idea here is that instead of writing a scope which works with the HTTP API my service provides, I use the generic scope and then provide an HTTP API that it can consume.14:58
davidcalleaquarius, maybe with some manifest like -> title:['result']['title'];i con:['result']['image']['thumbnail']14:58
davidcallemanifest file*14:58
aquariusand all the customisation of the generic scope (which is not much) is done in the .scope file.14:58
aquariuspressing the "Open" button on a preview would run the command defined in the scope file,14:59
aquariusSo if I wanted to write a service, I would write a .scope definition file and ship a shell script which does what I want to open an item14:59
snizzohow can I tell a webview to expand inside a Column item?15:00
aquariusand then my scope definition file would name *the generic scope* as my scope executable.15:00
aquariusthat way, I can write scopes without having to compile anything, without having to set up a cross-compile thing.15:00
aquariusdpm, davidcalle, it would be possible to make this more complicated -- that is, define in the manifest how to parse the JSON feed. But I think that's too complex for step 1. Just state "your JSON feed has to look like THIS." and if you want to do something else, you have to write a C scope yourself.15:01
aquariusI can imagine Generic Scope Version 2 could have a thing in the manifest defining how to parse the feed, what the names of the attributes are, etc. But version 1 should just define what it wants a feed to look like, and you change the feed to look like it expects.15:02
aquariussnizzo, what does "expand" mean in this context? if you want it to be expanded widthwise, set anchors.left:parent.left, anchors.right:parent.right or similar.15:03
snizzoaquarius: isn't that not allowed to do inside a column?15:05
aquariussnizzo, a column lines up stuff vertically. It doesn't affect the horizontal width of your items, so if you want them to have a certain width you need to set iut15:05
nerochiarobfiller: at the moment it looks like there's no QML bindings for libusermetrics, but if we want more apps to be abe to add data I think it might be a good idea to create them ?15:26
nerochiarobfiller: camera app just exposes a few methods from it to the QML side15:27
bfillernerochiaro: can we do the same in other apps for short term? otherwise I agree full bindings would be desireable15:27
nerochiarobfiller: yes, it's not a problem to do that in other apps too, if you think it's best for the moment15:28
bfillernerochiaro: how much of an effort would it be to make proper bindings?15:28
nerochiarobfiller: a day or two i think, from what i've seen up to now.15:30
bfillernerochiaro: guess it makes sense to start on the bindings but just for the functions we need for the apps15:33
nerochiarobfiller: sounds good15:35
oSoMoNnerochiaro: would you mind approving https://code.launchpad.net/~osomon/webbrowser-app/skip-flaky-test-slow-configs/+merge/185847 ? no need to wait for CI to run in this case, as all it does is skip a test known to be flaky15:56
nerochiarooSoMoN: done16:05
oSoMoNnerochiaro: thanks16:05

om26erno notification, no sound but the phone through which I am dialing says that the call is outgoing indeed17:39
om26ersalem_, no, neither the ringtone17:40
salem_om26er, is the call accepted? or the other phone keeps ringing?17:40
om26ersalem_, the phone keeps ringing since I don't have a way to pick it up17:41
salem_om26er, ok. can you check if tp-ofono is running?17:41
salem_om26er, telepathy-ofono is the process name17:41
om26ersalem_, yes telepathy-ofono is running17:42
salem_om26er, what about ofonod?17:42
salem_om26er, and phone-app-approver?17:42
om26ersalem_, should all these things be in the result of ps -ax ?17:43
om26erofonod seems to be running17:43
salem_om26er, yes17:43
salem_om26er, sorry, it's not phone-app-approver, it telephony-service-approver17:43
om26ersalem_, everything is running it seems17:44
salem_om26er, can you run "dbus-monitor > call.log", reproduce the bug and then send me the log?17:45
om26ersalem_, in one of the cases I noted that there was no rington or the accept/reject dialog but the screen did lighten up when I called17:45
om26ersalem_, sure, I am going to have to be able to reproduce the bug again for that. It happened 2-3 times while we were chatting but now its not happening17:46
om26erI'll reboot the phone17:46

om26eryeah, the title is not that great17:58
boikoom26er: so disable the backspace button when there is no text to erase, is that it?17:59
om26erboiko, it actually looks faded in its initial form, rather lighten it up when there is some number dialed18:00
bzoltandholbach: We decided not to push it to 13.10 with an FFe, too much hustle for few weeks before T queue opens18:00
boikoom26er: actually that's because the default asset is gray, we need to colorize that18:01
om26erboiko, do you need some design for that ? aka icon etc ?18:01
boikoom26er: don't think so, I think we can colorize the icon in the UI, I will check that later18:02
om26erboiko, cool, thank you. I have another smaller bug incoming as well18:02

om26erbecause there is no enough space.18:31

boikoom26er: try running the address-book-app18:31
om26erboiko, yeah, looks fine in the address book app18:32

boikoI think there is a bug reported for that18:33
om26erboiko, yeah, that sounds like the bug18:33

om26erboiko, you are in the bug fixing mode, right ? (or is there still something coming ?)18:36
boikoom26er: there are still some things coming18:37
om26erugh :/18:37
boikoom26er: mostly changes to the history-service though18:38
om26erboiko, I'll keep the bugs coming for the next 4 weeks, but i'll make sure to bug you once a day instead of bugging for each bug separately18:38
boikoom26er: haha, that's fine :)18:38
boikoom26er: once we get to finish the missing bits the focus will be only on bugs, so then you can ping me for each and every bug you find :)18:39
