omac2good evening...where are the apis for fileopen/filesave/fileselection dialogs with ubuntu-sdk00:29
omac2running with devel on nexus4.  everything phone/SMS text works, but mobile data(3g) still not working out of the box.00:30
omac2devel channel image 32's wifi seems to work fine for me, but not the mobile data(3g). 3g icon still flashes on and off and then settles to off.00:34
omac2I have had the same mobiled data(3g) buggy behaviour in the saucy stable version and the trusty devel version image 32.00:35

nlsielickihey all. My name's Nick. I'm a student at UW Madison.01:43
nlsielickiI'm really sick of all this NSA spying. I'm interested in flashing ubuntu touch to my nexus 4.01:43
nlsielickiI'm a CS student and so I'm interested in writing some apps too, could be fun.01:43
nlsielickimy question revolves around how featured the phone is yet-- is 3g radio supported on the nexus 4?01:43
nlsielickiI need to be sure that basic features like calling, text messaging, and 3g data connectivity is supported.01:44
nlsielickibattery life, speed, etc. are less concerning problems.01:44

some_dudeHi there, I've been checking the online spreadsheet that tracks progress of Ubuntu Touch for the Galaxy Nexus (etc). To me, it looks like there's no more progress (and it's still not usable). So, my question: is Ubuntu Touch dead already?09:03

janimo`ogra_, hey, what was the main blocker to getting the x86 images on cdimage, incomplete as they are?10:21
janimo`I only remember the click packages being hardcoded to armhf right now10:21
ogra_well, adding x86 support at all to cdimage10:21
ogra_(for touch)10:21
ogra_it currently only knows about armhf and the android subarches ...10:22
janimo`ogra_, oh, I figured that was simple from your conversation with rsalveti back then10:22
ogra_it was simple for goldfish, since thats just an armhf subset10:22
ogra_s/set/arch/10:22
janimo`ogra_, is the ubuntu.zip dependent on whether it runs on goldfish or on actual hw?10:23
ogra_no10:24
ogra_thats as generic as a rootfs can be10:24
janimo`ogra_, ok, I just did not see why golfish mattered for the ubuntu.zips10:24

mterrypitti, hello!  I love your phonesim-autostart stuff.  Is there a way to simulate receiving a text message?10:36
pittimterry: kind of; you can send one and get it bounced back, sec10:36
mterryhmm10:38
pittimterry: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/messaging-app/trunk/view/head:/tests/autopilot/messaging_app/tests/test_messaging.py#L12310:39
pittimterry: sorry, forget about the bouncing, I mixed that up with calls10:40
pittimterry: you can probably copy "def receive_sms()" as it is10:40

shuduohello, where is right place to report bug for system-settings-touch? there is no 'report a bug' in lp:~system-settings-touch page[B10:41
pittimterry: yes, that's how to drive a Qt GUI remotely10:42
pittimterry: ofono-phonesim runs on a private D-BUS as nobody, to avoid introducing a security problem10:42
pittimterry: I agree it's ugly, but it's the only way that exists10:43
mterrypitti, yar, I noticed it was nobody.  Sure.  Plus, phonesim isn't exactly a common thing10:43
mterrypitti, yup, not hating on it, just impressed with its hackery10:43
pittimterry: https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/network/ofono/phonesim/+/master/doc/scriptable.txt FYI10:43

davmor2Morning all10:58
asacmzanetti: Saviq: there?11:05
mzanettiasac: yes11:05
asacmzanetti: heard you guys really land regression tests for bugs?11:08
mzanettiasac: is that really a question?11:08
asacyes :)11:08
asaci suspected that noone did it, but heard you guys really do it11:08
asacwhich is great news :P11:08
mzanettiyeah, we try as much as we can11:09
asacmzanetti: you use qmlttests right? and we cant run that in our infrastructure yet?11:11
mzanettiasac: we run qml tests in the upstream merger11:11
mzanettiasac: we also use autopilot for integration tests. but we couldn't test everything with autopilot for multiple reasons. So yeah. most of our tests are qmltests with mocked backends11:12
asacmzanetti: can i run qmltests against an image if i wanted?11:17
asacmzanetti: could we package them so we have them available pre-built?11:17
mzanettiasac: well, so the backends are mocked which means it wouldn't reveal any breakage in things like services or such (which is where we use autopilot). But it would still add *a lot* of tests for example for SDK components. So yes, I'd say running them in the release jenkins would make sense11:19
mzanettiasac: as regard to packaging: IMHO a massive waste of time11:19
mzanettiasac: those tests are build time tests and rely on the source code file structure. So they also do coverage measurements etc which requires source files in place etc11:22
mzanettithat said. I'm not entirely sure what would be the best way to run them in the release jenkins. I would need to think a bit about it11:23
mzanettibut I'm sure there would be a nice way (although most likely involving tasks to extend those jenkins jobs with some building capabilities etc)11:23
asacmzanetti: i was hoping to use them as a second option for UI testing at image level... could qmltests be used that way at all?11:24
mzanettiasac: yes. it would be possible11:25
asac(e.g. without mocked backend and with maybe just debug symbols)11:25
=== shuduo is now known as shuduo_afk
mzanettiasac: so... for qml only applications (or well, applications which are launched using qmlscene) it's a no brainer. Just use it and it'll work11:33
mzanettiasac: for applications that have their own c++ main(), that main() would need to be adjusted in a way that it doesn't do much on their own but just call some other function for initialisation, so we could use QT_TEST_MAIN which just calls the same and then we'd be ready to go11:34
mzanettiasac: or maybe we could find a way to load the qmltestrunner stuff in the applications main (for example calling it with --test or the like)11:35
asacmzanetti: so we could make our framework that folks dont write main, but ubuntu_main and then have a generic main that does the right thing when run in test env?11:35
mzanettiasac: so bottom line is: for qmlscene based apps we could just use it right now. for C++ it'd be a little effort to make it happen, but nothing really critical11:35
mzanettiyes.. something like that would work11:36
asacmzanetti: so question is if upstream would like writing qmlscene more than autopilots :)?11:36
asacand if we also maybe fix a feww flakiness problems11:36
mzanettiasac: I'm all for it11:37
mzanettia big fat +1000 actually from me11:37
asaci still believe autopilot is needed somewhat, but maybe just to test that the mouse pointer etc. thing11:37
asacmzanetti: ok i would suggest that we really play this through by maybe adding a trivial UI test this way to one of our apps11:37
mzanettiasac: I guess there are things where AP still has good value. especially for full stack integration testing11:37
asacand at best for unity11:37
asacmzanetti: right, but we should cover the mass of our UI functions in qmltests as far as i understand11:38
mzanettiI'd say yes11:38
asacand really just see autopilot as a layer that then also tests things from the mouse pointer level11:38
mzanettiasac: qmltestrunner supports mouse interaction quite nicely11:39
asacmzanetti: hmm. but you said autopilot would test full stack integration... so what can autopilot test that we cant test in qmltests?11:40
mzanettiasac: but it injects events directly into the framework, so you'd bypass e.g. X11 (which is actually where a lot of autopilot's flakyness comes from)11:40
asaci hoped the diff is minimal11:40
asacah ok... yeah.11:40
mzanettiasac: qmltestrunner could not (easily) do things like this: you set an alarm in the clock app, and then connect to the alarm service to check if everything set up in there11:41
asacmzanetti: so assuming everyione has great UI testing coverage that we can run against our images ... can you think of a systematic way to understand what exactly we would need to test on top in autopilot to cover the gaps left with just qml?11:41
asacmzanetti: ok i see... are we doing that?11:41
asac:)11:41
mzanettiasac: you could obviously set the alarm in there and then still check if the whole round-trip has been successful, but not easily to IPC to other processes than the tested one11:41
asacyeah. wonder how much we use autopilot that way right now11:42
mzanettiasac: just saying... that's the difference and that's where autopilot has more possiblities11:42
asacsomehow feels we are just doing full roundtrip atm11:42
asac(in AP)11:42
mzanettiasac: yes. see my mail on the phablet mailing list a while back11:42
mzanettilemme search11:42
asacmaybe autopilot could collaborate with qmltest?11:42
asace.g. drive UI through qmltest, but then also add logic like this on top?11:42
asacmzanetti: whats the output format of junit? is that compatible with our autopilot format?11:43
mzanettiasac: would need to think more about combining both...11:44
mzanettiasac: re output format:11:44
mzanetti -txt                : Output results in Plain Text11:44
mzanetti -xunitxml           : Output results as XML XUnit document11:44
mzanetti -xml                : Output results as XML document11:44
mzanetti -lightxml11:44
asacok. guess AP uses junit?11:44
mzanettiI think it's just the same. let me search for a jenkins job with an example11:45

totosHello, I am thinking of buying a Nexus 10, to use it for simple tasks like web browsing and reading books. Is there a nexus 10 that is more stable than the others with the ubuntu touch installed?11:50
mzanettiasac: can't find a real xml file as jenkins seems to parse them and just show data in the website: e.g. http://s-jenkins:8080/job/unity-phablet-qmluitests-trusty/596/testReport/11:51
mzanettiasac: anyways, that means jenkins is fine with the output format11:51
totosI have read on the internet, that nexus exynos plays well with ubuntu touch.11:52
asactdaitx__: nexus exynos? N4?11:54

totosasac: Nexus exynos isn't supported for 10 inches? My bad...11:56
ogra_nexus 10 is supported ... but it is a lot more buggy than i.e. the nexus 411:57

ogra_rsalveti, goldfish only affected subarches13:55
rsalvetiogra_: right, but I changed that code in a way that it makes way easier to support a new arch13:55
ogra_we need to change the toplevel arches and make sure only the zip and tgz are published for it)13:55
rsalvetiright13:55
ogra_it *might* even just work and we could possibly just add i386 to default-arches for touch13:56
ogra_since the file schema for zip and tgz should be the same (modulo the arch name) ...13:56
rsalvetiatm we'd only publish the zip file, right?13:56
rsalvetiwe actually need to change a few things in there, as the piece that generates the zip file is still armhf specific13:57
rsalvetiwe need a x86 compatible updater-script in the zip file13:57

ogra_no idea, ask in #ubuntu-release14:02
ogra_rsalveti, oh, right14:02
ogra_rsalveti, hmm, the zip *creation* should be arch agnostic ... we just need the other binary ... but then ... we dont have android bits anyway yet, we could just go with the tarball for the start14:03

kenvandinempt, ping15:13
kenvandinempt, looking for some clarification on the background panel spec15:14
mptkenvandine, I just removed the scaled-back v1 design, leaving only the original design behind … Did I over-trim?15:15
kenvandine “Same background for both” is set, the welcome screen and home screen thumbnails combined should function as a single tappable button"15:15
kenvandinenot that15:15
mptah15:15
kenvandinei read that as merging them so you only see one15:15
kenvandineif it is set to dupe15:16
kenvandinebut now i'm not sure that what you meant15:16
kenvandinenote:  i implemented that last night :)15:16
mptkenvandine, you still see both thumbnails, and they’re in exactly the same positions as they were before, but they are now inside a single button15:16
mptrather than being in separate adjacent buttons15:16
kenvandineok15:16
kenvandinempt, another question15:21
kenvandineon the preview page15:21
kenvandineyou say to make the page and header transparent15:21
kenvandinewhich makes sense15:21
kenvandinebut the sdk doesn't give us a clean way of doing that15:21
kenvandineand it breaks the visual design guidelines15:22
kenvandinebut i do think it makes sense for a background preview15:22
kenvandinemaybe hide the header instead of making it transparent?15:22
mptkenvandine, I wouldn’t expect it to be in the SDK or the visual design guidelines, because it’s a one-off.15:23
kenvandineyeah15:23
kenvandineso the sdk doesn't give us a clean way of doing it15:23
mptkenvandine, we could hide the header, but then we would still need something to tell you what the screen is for. :-)15:23
kenvandinei have a nasty hack that changes the header to transparent15:23
kenvandinebut it is tricker to change the header text color15:24
kenvandineat least i haven't found a way there15:24
kenvandineand i have to be careful to change the background color back after previewing is done15:24
kenvandineit's nasty :)15:24
kenvandineso if we really want this, i think we need to request it to be added to the sdk15:24
kenvandinempt, i could hide the header15:24
mptMaybe it’s a matter of copying, pasting, and tweaking the header code from the SDK implementation?15:24
kenvandineand then add some text15:25
kenvandinempt, yeah... but i worry about maintenance15:25
kenvandineas they change API15:25
kenvandineetc15:25
mptIf you’re using your own copy, any API change is irrelevant, right?15:25
kenvandinenot completely15:25
kenvandinedepends on how much i copy15:25
mptThe worst that can happen is the visual design of the standard header changes, and you’re still using the previous font size or whatever15:25
kenvandinewe'd have to have our own PageStack15:26
mptwhoa, really?15:26
kenvandinei think so15:26
kenvandineor maybe Page15:26
kenvandinebut that is still quite a bit15:26
mptOkay, I think a Page with no header should be part of the SDK, at least15:26
kenvandinempt, how about a popover bubble kind of thing?15:26
kenvandinempt, i think i can make it hide the header pretty easily15:26
kenvandineor maybe some text above the buttons?15:27
mptkenvandine, could you hide the header and then put some text in the same position and size that header text would be?15:28
kenvandineshould be able to15:29
kenvandinelet me see if i can hide the header in a clean way15:29
mptkenvandine, cool, and maybe add a shadow to the text in case that part of the image happens to be white :-)15:29
kenvandinethe risk there is the visual might become inconsistent if they change the page component15:29
mptUnderstood. I think that risk is fine.15:30
kenvandinempt, maybe the header area could have a semitransparent black background?15:30
kenvandinewith white text?15:30
kenvandineso it's easier to read15:30
mptkenvandine, that sounds very similar to the original design. :-D15:31
kenvandineand you changed it?15:31
kenvandine :)15:31
mptNo, I mean the design that's in the spec now15:32
mptMaybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re suggesting15:32
davmor2n15:32
kenvandinewell that doesn't have a darker header15:32
kenvandinemaking the header area have a background rectangle of black, with opacity of like 0.515:32
kenvandineand the white text15:33
kenvandineyou can still see the background through it15:33
mptIt’s kinda hard to tell because of the clouds, but I think it is semitransparent black15:33
mptAnyway, yes, that would be good15:33
kenvandineok15:33
kenvandinecool15:33

ricmmmhall119: hi16:21
ricmmsup?16:21
pmcgowanmhall119, what a very well constructed ping16:23
mhall119pmcgowan: I wouldn't want to start another long email thread16:24
mhall119ricmm: hey, I was wondering if we had a roadmap with delivery dates for the push notifications API16:24
mhall119ricmm: I'm starting to plan the next app showdown, and I would like to make it late enough that push notifications are available to start using16:25
mhall119alright, one more question, who was working on the sensor service and haptics feedback?16:29
rickspencer3mhall119, I think that is ChickenCutlass or his team16:34
ogra_mhall119, ChickenCutlass wrote usensord ... just needs to be packaged (which is a bit tricky sine it is in go and one of the first go packages we have at all)16:37

ChickenCutlassmhall119 ok16:57
mhall119ChickenCutlass: hey, so I'm starting to plan the next app showdown, and I'd like to time it so that some of the new APIs are available, do you have a roadmap with delivery dates for the work on sensors and haptics17:13
mhall119?17:13
pittican someone please ack https://code.launchpad.net/~thomas-voss/process-cpp/fix_pkgconfig_setup/+merge/198025 ? (blocking sensor testing)17:14
doorgetting a 'checking for auto-deploy.zip auto deploy.zip not found error17:16
ChickenCutlassmhall119 so we are trying to land the new sensor service soon.  Like next week.  It will only have haptics implemented.17:16
mhall119kenvandine: got time for a couple questions?17:16
ChickenCutlassmhall119 still working out the API17:16
ChickenCutlasson the Platform API side17:16
mhall119ChickenCutlass: do you think by mid-January the API will be available, even if it's just a first version?17:16
ChickenCutlassyes17:16
mhall119and will it be available in QML from the start?17:16
ChickenCutlassof course17:17
mhall119perfect, thanks ChickenCutlass17:17
ChickenCutlassmhall119 the API will be much like the android one.17:17
ChickenCutlasson / off17:17
ChickenCutlassand pattern17:17
mhall119cool, let me know when it starts to come together and I'll make sure we get the docs published early on17:17
ChickenCutlassok17:18
doorsorry to interrupt, but is this the right room to discuss installing Ubuntu onto andriod?17:18
mhall119door: depends on what you mean17:18
mhall119door: are you talking about installing Ubuntu's phone OS on an Android device?17:19
kenvandinemhall119, sure17:19
dooryes17:19
mhall119beuno: do we have an ETA on getting ratings and reviews working in the store and dash?17:19
doora Nexus 417:19
mhall119door: then you're in the right place17:20
mhall119door: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install has instructions for installing it, it's easy if you have Ubuntu on your desktop/laptop, otherwise it's the same as flashing an Android ROM17:20
mhall119kenvandine: so the work that an app would need to tell the Content Hub that it can open, say, a PDF, do you think that will land by mid-January?17:21
doorhas anyone heard of / seen the error E: Can't open /cache/recovery/ubuntu_command ?17:21
kenvandinemhall119, yes17:21
jdstrandmardy: sorry, I didn't know you were blocked (I knew you wanted the fix of course). I'll prioritize for monday17:21
mhall119kenvandine: awesome, thanks!17:21
kenvandinenp17:21
beunomhall119, I refer you to ralsina17:21
mhall119ralsina: do we have an ETA on getting ratings and reviews working in the store and dash?17:22
jdstrandmardy: I started what I needed to finish before that upload yesterday and have a good handle on it17:22
* jdstrand wanders off17:22
mhall119kenvandine: also, box2d and it's qml plugin are in the trusty archives now, right?17:23
kenvandineyes17:23
mhall119what do we need to do to make that part of the platform available to click apps?17:23
kenvandineyes17:23
kenvandineor, it could be bundled in17:23
kenvandinewhich someone did already17:23
mhall119hmmm, bundling might be safer for compatibility17:24
mhall119kenvandine: could you put together a .tar.gz that somebody could just download and un-pack into their project folder in order to use it?17:24
kenvandineseb128, which screen did you think my margins were too big on?17:25
kenvandinemhall119, not sure it's that easy... do you know who it was that had bundled it?17:25
seb128kenvandine, the grid17:25
mhall119nope17:25
kenvandineit uses qmake, and our default project templates don't17:25
kenvandinei don't think17:26
mhall119kenvandine: it was seagull strike, wasn't it?17:26
kenvandineah, yes17:26
mhall119Michael Sheldon then17:26
seb128kenvandine, compare http://ubuntuone.com/20q4XFO8ZhvbJpxen4ifoR and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Appearance?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=phone-background-welcome.mockup.png17:26
kenvandinemaybe we can ask him what he did17:26
kenvandineseb128, so margins and spacing?17:26
mhall119yeah, I'll do that, thanks kenvandine17:26
kenvandinemhall119, np!17:27
seb128kenvandine, yes17:27
kenvandineseb128, can you try out what i just pushed?17:28
kenvandinesee if you like that better17:28
kenvandineit includes all the other changes we talked about earlier17:28
seb128kenvandine, building (u-s-s is slow to build nowadays :/)17:33
seb128kenvandine, the spacing between column is still at least double of what it should be...17:35
seb128kenvandine, http://ubuntuone.com/1AMoi15hjexkImhM9YW4RY17:36
kenvandine-        spacing: units.gu(1)17:37
kenvandine+        spacing: units.dp(5)17:37
kenvandineseb128, try that in WallpaperGrid.qml17:37
seb128kenvandine, that's give me much bigger spaces...17:39
seb128which is what you would expect from increasing the spacing17:39
kenvandine?17:39
kenvandineno17:39
kenvandinedp17:39
kenvandinenot gu17:39
Elleokenvandine / mhall119: I'm Mike Sheldon, what were you wanting to ask?17:40
seb128kenvandine, oh!17:40
seb128kenvandine, yeah, that looks better ;-)17:41
seb128kenvandine, even a bit less is better, e.g 317:42
mhall119Elleo: ah, hello!17:42
mhall119Elleo: I was wanting to make it easy for app developers to use Box2d in their apps17:43
mhall119Elleo: I was wondering how you bundled it with Seagull Strike, and how it worked with the build process17:43
seb128kenvandine, in fact deleting the spacing line makes it about right...17:43
seb128kenvandine, though margins are bit small then, you might want margins: 3 * spacing or something17:44
Elleomhall119: I basically just did a quick and dirty bundling of it; built qml-box2d, shove libBox2D and a qmldir definition in my package and set added it to the QML plugin include path from C++17:46
mhall119Elleo: how/where did you build it? on an arm device or using cross-compiling?17:47
Elleomhall119: just on-device17:48
BlackwizardHi17:48
mhall119Elleo: ok17:48
ElleoI do have a scratchbox environment setup for some arm dev, but it targets armv617:48
mhall119Elleo: are the files you used for this available somewhere I can download them?17:48
BlackwizardHow can I find tablets support ubuntu touch?17:48
Elleomhall119: https://gitorious.org/qml-box2d/qml-box2d/ <-- you'll want the qt5 branch17:49
Elleoshould build without any real difficulties17:49
mhall119Blackwizard: the original Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 are the only officially supported tablets at this time17:49
mhall119thanks Elleo!17:49
kenvandineseb128, spacing defaults to 0, so that breaks some of the calculations a bit17:49
Elleomhall119: one thing I noticed that might cause you issues is that qmlscene on UT doesn't seem to support custom plugin paths, it's --help claims it has the option, but it then doesn't recognise it when you try to use it17:49
kenvandinebut i can make it real small :)17:49
Blackwizardwhat about Samsung Note 817:49
Elleoand iirc the .desktop launcher doesn't like environment variables being set in the Exec line17:50
mhall119Elleo: using -I ?17:50
Elleoyeah17:50
seb128kenvandine, well, even at 0 it's more spacing than the mockup, that's weird17:50
mhall119hmmm, ok, I'll check on that, thanks again17:50
Elleono problem17:50
kenvandineseb128, some of that is the itemWidth i use, to allow room for the border on the current image17:50
kenvandineseb128, the design shows that border larger than the thumb17:51
seb128kenvandine, I see17:51
BlackwizardDoes Samsung Note 8 Supports Ubuntu touch?17:51
kenvandineseb128, try now :)17:57
ralsinamhall119: maybe a week or two. Paul Liu is working on it and ran into some snags.18:03
seb128kenvandine, the spacing being previews look fine ;-) the margins on the left/right of the grid should be more though (the mockup has those on the right of the titles)18:06
davmor2Blackwizard: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices18:06

Blackwizard:D18:06
mhall119ralsina: by mid-January do you think we'll have an API developers can start using?18:15
mhall119oh wait, that's R&R, ignore that comment18:16
ralsinamhall119: well, the API is there for creating ratings and reviews, what's not done yet is showing/creating them from the dash18:16
mhall119thanks ralsina18:16
ralsinamhall119: right18:16
mhall119alex-abreu: are we still on trach to have a unified HTML5 template & plugin by end of December?18:23
mhall119alex-abreu: also, any idea when Ubuntu will be added to http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/edge/guide_platforms_index.md.html#Platform%20Guides ?18:25
