mterryogra_, good news, I think I figured out the maguro lightdm issue10:05
mterryogra_, testing now10:05
ogra_whee !!!10:05
mterryogra_, it's actually the same issue as we had back when we first enabled lightdm in saucy-touch with maguro.  It just has to be done in a new place in lightdm now that we're taking a different codepath (we need to support maguro's lack of proper VT support)10:06
mterryogra_, also, maguro is really slow!  :(10:06
ogra_yeah, not a new issue :)10:07
ogra_and yes, we need to support devices without proper VTs ... thats sadly actually the majority of devices out there .... we are just lucky with the nexus devices10:08
mterryogra_, yeah, shouldn't be a problem, just a one line fix to tell logind that we are on VT 0 if we don't have multi-seat-vt support10:10
mterryogra_, meanwhile, ricmm is kindly looking into the crash on grouper.  Which might be the same as the problem on maguro, I'll find out once I get past this lightdm thing10:11
ogra_most likely10:11
ogra_tegra is very odd regarding VTs10:11
ogra_though it acvtually should at least have tty's enabled in the kernel10:12
mterryogra_, I dunno, every time I turn around, some problem is device-specific, I'm leery of saying anything is the same problem  :)10:12

AlienPenguinhi all, i am experimenting with ubuntu-touvch on a nexus 4, can anyone point me how to access gps?11:00
AlienPenguinis it possible?11:01
AlienPenguinwhat is the device to be used?11:01
AlienPenguinalso, when screen goes black the ticks in the location checkboxes are cleared, is this normal?11:01
timppaAlienPenguin: Have a look at http://qt.developpez.com/doc/5.0-snapshot/qmlmodule-qtlocation5-qtlocation-5/11:04
timppaAlienPenguin: You can access GPS from QML, but getting a fix on GPS still takes a lot of time because it's not aGPS11:06
timppaAlienPenguin: And please join #ubuntu-app-devel for additional questions.11:08
=== psivaa is now known as psivaa-afk
AlienPenguintimppa, i tried importing QtLocation in a QML file but ubuntu-sdk gave me an error, however now i was experimenting directly on the system... do you know wat is the gps device?11:14

=== shadeslayer_ is now known as shadeslayer
AlienPenguintimppa, i know but i have some apps that already do some lower level stuff and i would like to port them to ubuntu-touch without rewriting them in qml11:20
timppaAlienPenguin: Sorry, I don't know, I've only used QML and js11:23
AlienPenguintimppa, but did you access gps from qml? i tried importing QtLocation but the qtcreator bundled with the sdk gave me an error11:25
timppaAlienPenguin: which error?11:26
timppaAlienPenguin: Do you have QtDeclarative* installed?11:26
AlienPenguintimppa, i have not installed any other package on the phone, i just flashed the image downloaded from ubuntu website11:30
timppaAlienPenguin: Phone does not need any additional packages, but your Ubuntu desktop where you run the SDK11:31
AlienPenguintimppa, i simply followed the instructions on the guide11:33
AlienPenguini will check as soon as i can access that system11:33

AlienPenguindoes anyone know why the gps/location checkboxes "untick" themselves? every time i go back to the location menu they are unticked11:53
ogra_AlienPenguin, a) the integration is not complete for the existing GPS service and b) see https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/client-1311-location-service-assisted-gps11:56
ogra_i also doubt you will be able to access any low level stuff from an app due to the app confinement https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Specifications/ApplicationConfinement11:58
AlienPenguinogra_, i am not looking for a complete agps system (yet :) ) i just want to know if it is working, what device can i access at low -level and, eventually, how to access it with qml/qt framework11:58
ogra_it should be QtLocation afaik11:58

mterryogra_, so heads up on what ricmm, kdub, and I have been looking into regarding nested mode: maguro's deal is (1) the lightdm fix that I mentioned, a branch is waiting to be reviewed and (2) Mir opening devices twice when it shouldn't, kdub is working on.  grouper's problem is some other android driver issue that we have to work around.  I believe ricmm is looking at that15:23

mterrytedg, oh16:04
tedgmterry, User changed16:04
tedgOh, so the user is a property as well?16:04
mterrytedg, I made the user a property too (but still offer old API that had a EntrySelected signal or something like that)16:05
mterrytedg, the user is the ActiveEntry property16:05
mterrytedg, but if you want to work with unity-greeter too, you should probably stick to old-school user query API16:05
tedgmterry, I see.  I am a little worried about a race between the two, but we can use an idle timeout for that.16:06
mterrytedg, which is SetActiveEntry, GetActiveEntry, and EntrySelected16:06
mterrytedg, true, we don't bundle the changes.   But I didn't think the race would be a problem16:07
mterrytedg, you can't get in a bad state via the race, I don't think.  lock change happens first, then user16:07

mhall119you already can20:17
crocketgood20:18
mhall119probably every default command-line program in the desktop is on the phone images20:18
crocketmhall119, Does ubuntu touch use just plain desktop packages?20:18
mhall119for the most part, yes20:18
mhall119apps are largely click packages, but the rest of the distro uses the same debs20:18
mhall119remember, Ubuntu desktop and Ubuntu phone are literally the *same* OS, currently they have different desktop shells (Unity 7 vs. Unity 8), but in the future even that will be the same20:19
nemo_this project is so exciting20:19
mhall119I know, right? :)20:20
* cwayne_ can't wait for unity8 on desktop20:20
crocketmhall119, It seems that ubuntu touch is the only mobile OS that comes with linux desktop stacks.20:20
crocketandroid and firefox OS use bionic instead of glibc.20:21
crocketmhall119, Can I just install tinc or OpenVPN and run them on ubuntu touch?20:21
crocketHow do ubuntu mobile devices run X11 applications when connected to monitors?20:22
=== Nothing_Much_ is now known as Nothing_Much
dobeythey don't currently, because the convergence feature set is not complete20:24
mhall119crocket: I'm not sure what tinc is20:25
crocketmhall119, tinc is a VPN program just like OpenVPN.20:25
crocketdobey, What do they do?20:26
mhall119crocket: eventually X11 apps will run in their own XMir window on top of Mir itself20:26
crocketmhall119, Even in ubuntu mobile devices?20:26
mhall119but that will only be usable on desktop, as almost every X11-dependent app will be awful on a small touch screen20:26
mhall119crocket: in theory on mobile devices, in practice we'll want to avoid that scenario as much as possible for the reason above20:27
lopshey, guys, I tried running an app I'm making just via terminal on my nexus 7. it ran just fine, but touch didn't work. do you know any work around?20:27
mhall119now, most apps using toolkits like Qt or Gtk should be able to run directly on Mir, without needing the XMir/X11 container20:27
crocketmhall119, tablets have large enough screens.20:27
crocketmhall119, my ipad is big enough20:27
mhall119crocket: my fingers are too big :)20:28
crocketI'm really disappointed with apple devices.20:28
crocketmhall119, well...20:28
mhall119lops: what do you mean touch didn't work?20:28
crocketmhall119, if I connect my tablet to a keyboard and a mouse, I want to see a desktop session on its screen.20:28
lopswell, when I touched with my fingers on the screen, where I places some touchable buttons, nothing happened :P20:28
mhall119crocket: and I think that's the plan20:28
crocketcool20:29
mhall119lops: hmmm, it's likely the process is being suspended when you switch away from the terminal app20:29
crocketmhall119, probably a keyboard with a trackpad!20:29
lopsswitch away? :/ i didn't. I think. i was wondering if there was a difference in it being run via terminal20:30
lopsmaybe something else was catching all the touch events20:30
mhall119lops: are you running from the terminal app, or using adb over usb?20:30
lopsthe terminal app. I couldn't figure how to run apps from adb or ssh20:30
lopsI also couldn't figure how to install my .click that I compiled and built with much love.20:31
mhall119yeah, so when you open you app, the terminal-app loses focus on the screen, which will cause Ubuntu to pause it's process20:31
lopsI mean, it installed, but never appeared on my dash20:31
mhall119but, since the terminal's process spawn'd your app's process, it could be pausing that too20:31
lopsthat makes sense.20:32
mhall119lops: did you publish your .click in the store, or just copy if over to your device?20:32
lopsbecause UT would always say only the terminal was openned, ofc.20:32
lopsI pushed it via adb20:32
mhall119lops: you should be able to run (as phablet user) "pkcon install-local $clickpackagefile"20:33
lopsit's not finished :/ I just wanted to test it. I wish it was easy to test via QTC like QML apps20:33
lopsmhall119, yes, it installed fine. but nothing happened after that.20:33
mhall119lops: you can as phablet user, not root?20:34
mhall119lops: see if your app's .desktop file was copied into ~/.local/share/applications/20:35
lopsmhall119, i can't remember if i tried as phablet. i don't have the nexus atm :/ it's not mine. but I will check that20:36
mhall119ok20:37
lopsmhall119, to run as phablet user, I do #sudo -u phablet <commands> ?20:37
mhall119if you ran pkcon as root, it wouldn't put the .desktop file in the right place20:37
mhall119lops: I usually "sudo -iu phablet" to get a shell session as phablet20:37
mhall119then run any other commands20:37
lopsah cool. thx20:38
lopsi've been using Ubuntu for like 5 years, on and off, but i'm still such a noob x) I love this channel20:38
mhall119that's okay, I've been using linux for almost a decade and I'm still a noob too20:40
lopsthis is for a school assignment. the teacher suggested we did a Windows Phone app, but any mobile platform was fine too. I decided to "try" UT20:41
lopsnow i'm neck deep in this, it's way too late to change, and I'm doing so much more than a mobile app rofl. but it's been fun ofc20:41
crocketmhall119, When will I see the first ubuntu phones and tablets?20:42
mhall119crocket: hopefully next year, but I don't have any knowledge about it that isn't already public20:44
lopstalking about that. I was thinking the other day how Google has all the big manufacturers binded in a contract that prevents them from selling any phone with modified non-google android phones20:47
crocketmhall119, I've used iPhone 4 for 3 years, and I'm running out of patience.20:47
crocketThe home button of my iPhone is not working well!20:47
lopslike amazon can never, ever, in the future sell google-android stuff, or have access to google play store20:47
lopsnow... doesn't this mean that no big brand will be interested in the modified android that is Ubuntu Touch? :S20:48
mhall119lops: Ubuntu isn't a modified Android, so they can ship it *and* their Google Play approved version of Android20:51
lopshm ok. what parts exactly of UT are Android?20:52
lopsthe drivers or so?20:52
mhall119there are some kernel patches and drivers20:52
mhall119not much left, really20:52
mhall119it's certainly not enough to prevent them from shipping Ubuntu and Google Android both20:53
lopsok20:55
lopsthat gives me some hope20:55
lopsbecause, man, UT is so damn gorgeous.20:55
dakerlops: see slide 4 https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1LjGf3IQGraQWxdjkIisI4McVi3GmfCTCDg-lLBUtzis/edit?pli=1#slide=id.g16fe566e3_0020:56
lopsdaker, ty. that was helpful21:00
dakerlops: thanks to rsalveti (for the slides)21:01
lopsrsalveti, thanks for the slides21:01
rsalveti:-)21:10
cucohi all, i installed ubuntu touch on my nexus4, and I dont see where do i enable the wifi. can anyone help me?21:13
crockethmm21:15
crocketIs it ok to buy nexus 5 and install ubuntu touch on it?21:16
lopsdepending on what kind of wifi you have, you may be lucky or out of luck :D21:16
cucoi installed the devel channel... an oops?21:16
lopscuco, you mean there's no wifi in your settings app?21:17
cucolops: I only see "auto join..." I cannot choose the network.21:18
lopscuco, so your network doesn't show up? above that auto join stuffis where the networks are listed21:18
* cuco checks that checkbox on... and still sees nothing21:19
lopscuco, is it an adhoc? i tried connecting to my laptop with adhoc and it didnt show up either21:19
cucono. standard wifi crap... worked 5 mins ago on stock :) Maybe I should choose a more conservative channel :)21:20
lopsI also failed to connect to eduroam on campus, which is wpa enterprise21:20
lopsyou could try copying your profiles from your latop onto UT if you've got ubuntu running on your pc21:21
lopsbut I guess if it doesn't even show up, it could very much be some channel limitations oO21:21
mhall119cuco: if you pull down the network indicator from the top, does it list any APs?21:22
cucomhall119: no. tried it already.21:22
cuconice. dialer is not working. lets reflash with "trusty"21:22
mhall119is your SSID broadcast or hidden?21:22
cucossid is not hidden, and I don't see any wifi. at all.21:23
mhall119yeah, I'd recommend using the "trust" channel, not the devel ones21:23
* cuco will be back in 15 mins21:23
lopshave fun21:23
mhall119remember, devel and -proposed mean "Images that haven't passed their automated testing yet"21:23
mhall119for a phone especially, you want to only install things that aren't failing to pass tests21:25
mhall119I have my N7 tablet on trust-proposed, but my N4 phone is just trust21:25
cucoi am probably missing something. i still don't see any networks.21:39
=== _salem is now known as salem_
cucowell... rild works... but i could not hang up...21:40
cucostable? ok21:40
crocketWhen will I be able to install ubuntu touch on nexus 5?21:43
ogra_crocket, that will still take a while ... the android bits we use are still on 4.221:44
jevon_ 2 months maybe21:44
ogra_(which does not run on N5)21:44
janimo`crocket, we need the hammerhead kernel in the archive and a port to 4.4 as ogra said21:44
janimo`these are both needed but are independent tasks21:45
ogra_janimo`, and sadly also hybris21:45
ogra_thats not yet 4.4 either21:45
janimo`ogra_, part of the port to 4.4 task21:45
ogra_indeed21:45
janimo`the hard part of it21:45
ogra_heh, yes21:45
janimo`ogra_, hammerhead builds from the same sources as mako - once rebased on the kitkat kernel tree, so that should be straightforward21:46
cucowhich parts of android 4.4 are needed in Ubuntu to be able to run on Nexus5? Lets ignore the kernel, which should "boot".21:46
ogra_janimo`, well, i guess we want all trees on the same android version21:46
cucodo the drivers available for nexus 5 implement newer HAL api...?21:46
ogra_cuco, all the binary blobls ... and the services to use them21:46
crocketCan I install ubuntu touch on SGS4 already?21:47
ogra_!devices | crocket21:47
ubot5crocket: You can find the full list of devices, official images, community images, and works in progress at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices21:47
cucoogra_: nice... interesting... much more then my work :)21:47
janimo`ogra_, indeed, we could already try the kitkat branch for mako21:47
ogra_crocket, no idea where the port stands yet21:47
janimo`even with the 4.2 userland21:47
ogra_you mean the kernel ?21:47
janimo`ogra_, yes21:48
ogra_there aree some firmware issues with mako and 4.4 ...21:48
ogra_at least if you want to be able to use ril iirc21:48
ogra_the baseband firmware in 4.4 is newer and not backwards compatible21:48
ogra_(people that upgraded to 4.4 have known issues running ubuntu touch)21:49
ogra_on mako ...21:49
janimo`ogra_, even after doing a reflash of 4.2 via fastboot?21:49
ogra_no, thats fine21:49
janimo`ok21:49
ogra_but if you have 4.4 (which many if not most people that would try UT most likely have ... they need to downgrade first21:50
crockethuh21:50
cucommm... i still don't see any wireless networks.21:51
cucoi am on stable now... so we have 2 options: 1) I have no idea what I am doing, 2) my device is "different"21:51
ogra_cuco, is that a mako ?21:51
ogra_(nexus 4)21:52
cucoogra_: yes. nexus4421:52
ogra_cuco, and did you have kitkat on it before installing ubuntu ?21:52
cucoogra_: yes.21:52
ogra_well, read the lines i wrote above :)21:52
ogra_the kitkat firmware is incompatible with the android 4.2 userspace ... which we use in ubuntu touch for the radio21:53
cucoso... re-flash the modem...? do you konw what exactly is needed? i sohuld i re-flash all 4.3 and then ubuntu?21:53
ogra_thats currently the only way i know about ...21:53
cucothat = all 4.3?21:53
ogra_going back to the older android (4.2 would likely be better) and then re-installing ubuntu21:54
ogra_i havent heard about issues with 4.3 though ... might be fine too21:54
cucook, testing 4.3 then21:55
cuconice. now i have wireless.22:09
cucohow do i add another keyboard layout?22:11
=== h[a]kr is now known as hakr
lopscuco, there are some instructions in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/ReleaseNotes#Keyboard but I didn't try them myself tbh22:17

nemo_so so there is no way to just re-flash the radio to get wifi working? you have to install 4.3 android?22:31
nemo_finally got the phone up and running and the the wifi news was a bummer22:32
Guest42302have they got ubuntu touch to work on the nexus 7 second gen yet?22:33
bfilleranyone know where DLOG messages from unity-mir go on the disk?22:34
nemo_found the answer for others who were wondering about the wifi problems http://askubuntu.com/questions/380435/wifi-issue-on-nexus-4-16gb22:37
sergiusensbfiller, my bet would be ~/.cache/upstart/unity8.log22:38
bfillersergiusens: doesn't seem to be there22:38
bfillersergiusens: I mean the log is there but not the messages is see in the code using DLOG22:39
sergiusensgot it22:40
markr_Hello!22:53
markr_I've been trying to install Ubuntu Touch on a Galaxy Nexus, following the instructions here: http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/install22:53
markr_On the phone, the message "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix? THIS CANNOT BE UNDONE." came up, but as per instructions just left it22:54
markr_Later I got the message on the computer "ERROR:phablet-flash:Installation is taking too long or an error occured along the way."22:55
markr_and the phone hangs with the Google logo when booting22:55
markr_I can get into the bootloader as normal by pressing vol up + vol down + power22:56
markr_but it never shows up in the list of adb devices22:56
markr_so I'm not sure how to proceed22:56
markr_Any ideas?22:56
Guest42302have they got ubuntu touch to work on the nexus 7 second gen yet?23:28
popeyGuest42302: not yet23:31
Guest42302how close are they to having it be in the pre-release stage?23:48
Guest42302Also, can you install the  Ubuntu Core on Nexus 7 [2013]? like they show here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus723:53
