Elleojhodapp: ping, I'm around now if you have any other questions podcast/download manager/media service related; but it looks like netcurli's covered everything pretty well00:05
TechieElfCan someone help with this build error? "make: *** No rule to make target `frameworks/base/nfc-extras/com.android.nfc_extras.xml', needed by `/home/techieelf/phablet/out/target/product/xt907/system/etc/permissions/com.android.nfc_extras.xml'.  Stop."00:06
Elleojhodapp: the only thing I'd add is that perhaps in a future iteration it might be useful if instead of passing the partially downloaded file to the media service if it were possible to pass a download manager handle, so the media service can be aware of how much is buffered and do intelligent stuff like pause briefly to buffer if it reaches the end of the file prematurely00:06

Atulthats all i need04:12
Atulbecoz i just need to run browser on my tablet and nothing else04:12
RAOFIf there isn't currently a port to your (exact!) tablet, you'll first need to port (or help port) Ubuntu Touch.04:12

RAOFRunning a browser is surprisingly involved :)04:13
RAOFYou could also try installing a regular Ubuntu Desktop build on your tablet, but that's (a) not as nice a tablet experience, and (b) unlikely to work because you won't have any display drivers.04:17

Laneyalso, it means that when you request the pageComponent of that plugin from code then the window opens :(09:23

xnoxogra_: re: pulling plymouth into the initrd, at the moment it makes initrd large due to pulling in fonts & icu. If we recompile plymouth without icu, and decide to not have fonts at all (pre-rendered images instead of things to show/tell the user). Then plymouth can be made small in the initrd.11:15
* xnox is catching up on uds sessions.11:15
ogra_xnox, well, we decided against plymouth in the initrd since that would mean to also have Mir in there11:15
xnoxogra_: ah, i'm on minute 4 only so far =)11:15
ogra_instead plymouth will start on top of the system compositor as early as possible in the rootfs11:16
ogra_if there are things we need from the initrd, these have to be handed over to upstart and be processed in an upstart job11:16
xnoxogra_: sounds good enough. that should be enough for low-battery mode. Extremely low battery mode on android is "if your screen is black, plug it in to charge for 24h" in the manual.11:17
ogra_heh11:17
ogra_right, we only want to intercept booting if the battery is really really low ... like below 5% or so11:17
xnoxogra_: it's so cool on kindles though, there is no power used to display the image, only to change it. So at extreme low battery, it throws no battery logo & messages in 3-4 languages that "you need to charge it for at least 1h before it will be able to boot again"11:18
ogra_and then only until it charged to that threshold11:18
xnoxand then it's flat, but displays the message.11:18
ogra_heh11:18
xnoxogra_: yeah, android is weird it shuts off at 1-2%, yet one can still boot it again and make a short phone-call (<2minutes)11:18

xnoxogra_: re: low battery handling during boot, to be honest we even need it on normal laptops.13:50
ogra_on normal laptops the power supply should suffice, even if you have the battery pulled out13:50
=== Namidairo`bnc is now known as Namidairo
ogra_that usually is different on phones13:51
xnoxogra_: so one could add a generic "chargeall" job across all devices, which continues boot if there is N% battery life (or laptop is on DC power).13:51
ogra_but yeah, i agree it might make sense13:51
=== greyback is now known as greyback|lunch
ogra_right13:51
ogra_it is just more improtant on phones because you cant easily work around a low battery13:51
xnoxogra_: also you wouldn't need to subvert boot, as chargeall will block the boot even normally. (runlevel 2 / networking events => net result is that all one has is Read-only rootfs and plymouth)13:52
ogra_right13:52
xnoxogra_: continuing the boot upon chargeall completion is more of a "fsck" type of thing, rather than "friendly-recovery" (user decision required how big or small bring up to do, and/or choice to shutdown or continue boot)13:53
ogra_well, the firendly-revocery bit  was an example about  intercepting the startup event13:53
ogra_since we need to block that one13:54
ogra_*recovery13:54
xnoxogra_: correct. but friendly-recovery subverts boot, because it looks-up magic variables that last boot has failed.13:54
ogra_right, and the plan was to have the initrd set such a variable if low battery is detected13:54
xnoxogra_: chargeall needs to run on every boot (normal or recovery) -> usually quickly emit event "charged" and exit, and at times block until charging happens.13:55
xnoxogra_: i don't think it's wise to set the variable in the initrd, as chargeall needs to monitor battery level anyway.13:55
ogra_i wouldnt want it on every boot13:55
alecuSaviq: pong13:55
ogra_since you need to run the check every time then ... slowing down all boots even if the battery is full13:55
xnoxboot -> chargeall checks battery level -> if good emit "charged" & exit -> continue boot.13:56
xnoxogra_: you are going to do a check on every boot, be it in initramfs or off rootfs.13:56
xnoxogra_: and i argue it's best to keep check&[monitor]&exit logic in one place, instead of two.13:57
ogra_hmm13:57
xnoxwhere monitor is only if the battery is too low.13:57
xnoxyou should never continue boot if we are below threshold. therefore you will have to check it on every boot.13:57
xnoxhence the comment it's a bit like fsck =) (when not-needed skipped very efficiently, when it is performed it blocks bootup sequence past plymouth)13:58
xnox(chargeall will block a little more than mountall does but the concept is very similar)13:58
xnoxplus as an added bonus you can test it today with plymouth & laptops with e.g. << 2% battery =)13:59
xnoxideally it should be a small efficient C binary similar to mountall13:59
* ogra_ would just have done shell 14:00
ogra_C sounds like overkill and will be arch specific ...14:00
Saviqalecu, hey, I noticed that the click scope is case sensitive for remote results14:01
Saviqalecu, what do I file a bug against?14:01
alecuSaviq: weird!14:02
xnoxogra_: you can't waste resources =) and i'm not sure what's the problem  with being arch specific. you will be talking to plymouth and doing that from sh is more wasteful than it should be.14:02
alecuSaviq: https://bugs.launchpad.net/click-package-index/+filebug14:03
xnoxogra_: C is easy =)14:03
Saviqalecu, I noticed 'cause the OSK started uppercasing the first letter14:03

ogra_and harder to deit on the fly etc14:03
ogra_*edit14:03
xnoxogra_: one day you should stop writting hacks, and keep crap out of initrd =) written in C, with unit-tests which out-number code by lines-of-code..... =)14:04
xnoxi actually see no reason why battery check cannot live inside mountall.... everything depends on remounting rootfs RW event, and it can block that even until battery is fully charged.14:06
ogra_because you dont want it on servers14:08
ogra_or desktops without battery14:08

cwaynejdstrand, not sure this is the right way, but i've just been rebuilding the sdcard15:12
dpmcwayne, there is a call to get user's info, but we've not implemented it in our QML C++ plugin. There are 2 main interfaces to the API UserStore to manage user info and NoteStore to manage notes. Right now we're concentrating on the UserStore. The other thing is: I'm not sure how we'd ship a fix, as Main.qml would need our C++ plugin to talk to the Evernote servers, and that'd mean we'd need to ship it with the authentication plugin?15:13
cwaynedpm, yeah, we'd have to ship it with the auth plugin15:13

pete-woodscwayne: I thought I'd landed it16:12
cwaynepete-woods, i thought so too, but i can't seem to get it to work.. :/16:13
cwaynepete-woods, it should still be that same gsettings key right?16:13
pete-woodscwayne: https://code.launchpad.net/~unity-team/libusermetrics/trunk16:13
pete-woodscwayne: maybe it never got landed16:13
pete-woodscwayne: we'll probably have to request a landing in the spreadsheet16:14
cwaynepete-woods, is there an easy way to check in-image?16:14
cwayneto make sure it's not landed instead of landed-and-not-working16:14
pete-woodscwayne: what version do you have?16:15
pete-woods1.1.1+13.10.20131003-0ubuntu1 means that it isn't in there16:15
cwaynepete-woods, 1.1.1+13.10.20131003-0ubuntu116:15
cwayneah well then :D16:15
pete-woods:(16:15
pete-woodsI definitely added this stuff to the landing sheet16:15
pete-woodsI should have checked16:16
cwaynepete-woods, i'm happy to add it and bug the right people to get it in if you'd like :)16:18
pete-woodscwayne: okay, sure, that would be good!16:19
user82hi. does ubuntu touch support all mobile internet connection profiles/providers the desktop version supports?16:19
cwaynepete-woods, sure thing, thanks for the info!  glad it's just not landed instead of landed and broken :D16:19
pete-woodscwayne: well I'm usually pretty diligent with regards to making things work, this stuff has strong testing16:20

mzanetticwayne: late-pong17:00
cwaynemzanetti, heya, i was going to ask about an evernote api call to get the users username17:01
cwayneso that i can get it into the account-plugin so that it shows the connected accounts displayName17:01
mzanetticwayne: hmm... that's a bit more complex17:01
cwaynei figured it would be :)17:02
cwaynemzanetti, i *think* we can include any plugins/c++ stuff we'd need17:02
mzanetticwayne: ah wat... in which language is that stuff written?17:02
mzanetticwayne: are you fine with python?17:02
cwaynemzanetti, this particular part would be qml17:02
mzanettiah ok17:02
cwaynemzanetti, i understand theres a c++/qt plugin now for making api calls, perhaps i can just include that in the account-plugin17:03
cwaynethat's what i had to do fro the fitbit one to get the name17:03
cwayneexcept js instead of c++17:03
mzanetticwayne: ok. how would you ship it?17:03
mzanettiwould we need to make it a platform plugin?17:03
cwaynefirst as a deb, until account-plugins work as clicks17:03
cwayneit would just go into the existing package we have now, we just need some qml bits to pull down the username17:04
brendandbregma, hi17:04
mzanetticwayne: ok. so status right now is that the plugin doesn't support fetching the username yet17:05
cwaynemzanetti, ah, ok17:05
mzanetticwayne: that wouldn't be too hard tho17:05
mzanetticwayne: but I'm struggling more with copying the plugin17:05
cwaynewell17:06
cwaynethat's the beauty of clicks isnt it?17:06
mzanettisomehow that feels wrong. but otoh I'm not sure we should make it a platform plugin17:06
cwayneone package cant use another's plugins17:06
mzanettiyeah :/17:06
cwaynemzanetti, i mean it can be stripped down to just use that one api call17:06
cwaynethat's literally what i had to do for fitbit's17:06
cwaynei agree it's less than ideal and somewhat annoying..17:06
mzanettimhm... ok... I guess I can create that for you17:07
cwaynebut as of now, it's either that, or we can't show username17:07
cwaynemzanetti, thanks!17:07
cwaynemzanetti, and there will be some branch i can pull already to get a feel of how to use it?17:07
mzanetticwayne: do you have a timeframe when you need it?17:07
cwaynemzanetti, nope, it's not incredibly urgent17:08
cwaynethis is more of an after-hours project for me anyway :)17:08
mzanetticwayne: yeah, same here17:08
mzanetticwayne: here's the branch to test: https://code.launchpad.net/~mzanetti/reminders-app/integrate-plugin/+merge/19621017:09
mzanetticwayne: the diff is huge. probably better check out the code and build/run it. then open reminders-app.qml and start from there17:10

alexk42err example19:02
alexk42I can't find any documentation steering me in the right direction on this one19:02
mhall119alexk42: ah, gallery is part of the image, not a click package (IIRC), so I don't know if you can remove it without disabling image updates19:18
alexk42that's fine19:19
alexk42i'm actually trying to strip everything out except my application19:19
alexk42and hopefully figure out how to autostart my application19:19
alexk42how about Dialer?19:27
xnoxalexk42: if you enabled writable image, then all packages are normal packages that you can uninstall with apt.19:28
xnoxalexk42: e.g. apt-get remove gallery-app19:29
xnoxet.c19:29
xnoxmost of them will be converted to clicks soon.19:29
xnoxalexk42: the question however, why do you want to do this?19:29
alexk42ahh okay19:29
alexk42and to enable a writeable image I just need to update the fstab?19:29
xnoxalexk42: no.19:29
alexk42ahh, you see how lost I am :)19:30
xnoxalexk42: touch /userdata/.writable_image I think.19:30
xnoxalexk42: or i think one can do it with phablet-config19:30
alexk42xnox--my ultimate goal is just to use the tablet to run my single application and have everything else inaccessible19:31
xnoxalexk42: phablet-config writable-image19:31
xnoxalexk42: that will be very hard to achieve.19:31
alexk42I gathered that. I'm just trying to get as close as possible right now19:32
alexk42okay, so i make a writeable image, uninstall the packages, and I should be golden. And to make my application autostart, i can just add it to /etc/xdg/autostart?19:33
alexk42thanks a lot for your help btw19:34
xnoxalexk42: no, /etc/xdg/autostart will not work.19:34
xnoxalexk42: you want to start your application via upstart-app-launch19:35
xnoxyou can add a new upstart job to do that on login in ~/.config/upstart19:35

mterrysforshee, so I'm trying to make some changes in how Mir is used unity-side.  And one of the things I was trying to do was reduce the number of places we reference ~/.display-mir22:25
mterrysforshee, so I filed bug 125175322:25
ubot5bug 1251753 in powerd (Ubuntu) "Migrate away from checking /home/phablet/.display-mir" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/125175322:25
mterrysforshee, and worked on a branch22:25
mterrysforshee, but in testing, I noticed that g_idle_add doesn't work in powerd.  But g_timeout(0) did!  Have you noticed that?22:25
mterrysforshee, it meant that a lot of gdbus calls don't work22:25
sforsheemterry: no, I'd never noticed that. To be honest powerd was really my first time using glib, so I'm not terribly well versed in it.22:26
mterrysforshee, I believe in my branch (https://code.launchpad.net/~mterry/powerd/no-display-mir/+merge/196399) I am doing the calls in the main thread and couldn't notice anything obviously wrong with my usage22:27
sforsheemterry: I took to using g_timeout_add because idle seems to put things at a lower priority22:27
mterrysforshee, actually, idle calls did work, but only if I gave them the highest priority22:27
mterrysforshee, but..  lower priorities should still get called...22:28
s3hi22:28
s3any development for the galaxy s322:29
sforsheemterry: I have no idea why that would be, because powerd uses g_timeout_add extensively and that uses the default priority, not the highest22:29
mterrysforshee, but it's probably a different main loop code path than idle_add?22:29
mterrys3, dunno myself :-/22:30
sforsheemterry: possibly, I wouldn't really know without digging into the glib code22:30
mterrysforshee, does powerd like sleep itself when not doing anything?22:30
sforsheemterry: well it does most stuff on the glib main loop, which undoubtedly calls epoll or similar when there's nothing to do22:32
sforsheeit certainly spends the vast majority of its time doing nothing22:32
mterrysforshee, :-/  well, I'm used to glib working!  It's not an urgent bug, so I'm not actively trying to figure it out, but hoped you might have said "oh yeah, we disabled idle somehow"22:34
mterrysforshee, well, have a good weekend!22:34
sforsheemterry: no, like I said I'm pretty much a newb at all the glib stuff. Surely there's someone who could explain it, but I'm not that person!22:34
sforsheemterry: you have a good weekend too22:35
