kedivessgood evening...00:42
kedivessi just flashed ubuntu-image on my nexus 4......may i add google contacts?00:43
Beldarkedivess, http://askubuntu.com/questions/360554/how-do-i-sync-google-contacts00:46
kedivessthanks for the answer....i did....but i had thi s error "First ERROR encountered: GLib-GObject: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed"00:48
BeldarI have no idea past the link is all. I just searched with  ubuntu touch add google contacts00:49
Beldargoogle that is00:49
kedivessshould i need to flash a cdimage??? maybe because the system-image is read-only??00:50
Beldarkedivess, Yes I believe it is a read only unless you do some voodoo I never got to myself in trying it out. The answer to that should be in the touch info at the thread top or on the web.01:25

heathbarI'd like to use WiFi dongle with the RT5370 chip in ubuntu touch... It seems I need to build and install the driver from source provided by the manufacturer.  The make files don't work out of the box... mainly because it expects /lib/modules is WR... but it's not.02:44
heathbarI'm new... any advice about the right way to compile drivers from source in ubuntu touch?02:45
RAOFheathbar: You'd need to (at least) switch the rootfs to read/write mode; there are instructions somewhere for that, I think on the main page.03:29
RAOFheathbar: You may also run into the fact that, to my knowledge, we don't use the Ubuntu kernel on the device; we use Android's.03:29
heathbarThanks for the tips... I already turned off the read-only mode of the root fs (touch /userdata/.writeable_image) and installed a lot of packages, gcc, linux headers...  I saw some posts that said that /lib/modules is read-only because it is a squashfs compressed filesystem...03:34
heathbarHum... Regarding the android vs ubuntu kernel question... I got the impression that the old system was android kernel running ubuntu in a container (unflipped)... but that the new system is the ubuntu kernel running some android bits in a container (flipped)... Can any experts clarify my understanding?03:37

inoXHey, I flashed Ubuntu Touch on my old Nexus 7 but it seems as if this is not the last version of it. I used a flashable zip with CWM. Can someone please tell me where I could find an up to date version?09:36
ogra_by using the official installation process :)09:37
ogra_(see the topic of this channel09:37
ogra_)09:37
inoXOh, :( okay09:40
inoXis there some place in the preview os where I can look up the exact build version?09:40
popeyadb shell system-image-cli -i09:41
asaco/09:42
inoXokay. I will try that. Thanks for the immediate support!09:42
asacHNY :)09:42
tvossasac, o/09:42
ogra_inoX, in the system-settings app ... "About this  device"09:45
asachi tvoss !!09:46
tvossasac, hny :)09:46
inoXuhm, currently my device is low on battery anyways. Its always a pain with the old nexus 7.09:47
inoXIt always feels totally bricked then ^^09:48
ogra_yeah09:48
ogra_nexus4 can behave worse though (to a point where you have to take it apart and remove the battery lead)09:49
inoXI am glad, that i never had to do this with my device..09:51
inoXThe nexus 7 is sealed :S09:52
ogra_popey, do you still read ubuntu-users ?09:52
popeyogra_: nope09:52
ogra_k09:52
popeyshould I?09:52
ogra_nah i was just wondering ... (there is a discussion about filemanagers and i brought up that when unity8 takes over the desktop we might likely use the qml filemanager in it, just wamnted to know if i talk rubbish here )09:53
popeycertainly plausible right now.. who knows in 6 months ☻09:54
ogra_yeah09:54
* ogra_ wouldnt mind to see a nautilus replacement ... 09:54
ogra_especially since QML feels so much easier to extend09:55
=== h[a]kr is now known as hakr
ogra_asac, we still use swap on the images, we should start making a plan what to test when we disable it (and then drop it), before it is to late in the cycle to catch possible issues without it09:59
ogra_rsalveti, ^^^09:59
seb128ogra_, the day the new file manager has enough features for a desktop usage we can surely discuss it, would be nice to have a consistent toolkit use through our apps for sure10:00
asacogra_: ack10:01
ogra_seb128, yeah ... and not to be dependent to upstream feature removals too10:01
seb128ogra_, but file-manager is not a trivial app, especially when you start handling remote locations10:01
ogra_yep10:01
asacogra_: not sure how to do it besides just dropping it and doing some extensive testing with dmorley. but guess we should talk with rsalveti about what impact we expect so we can test that in a focussed manner10:01
ogra_davmor2, hey, you are dmorley now :)10:02
ogra_seb128, well, i think if we want to have the necessary features by 14.10, it is probably the time to start collecting feature requests so the teams can focus on them in the 14.10 cycle10:03
seb128ogra_, sounds good10:03

rsalvetiogra_: yeah, it's basically dropping it, testing and checking the impact, specially on maguro11:43
rsalvetibut true, we should drop it (or try to drop it), asap11:44
ogra_yeah11:44
davmor2rsalveti, ogra_: what are you dropping on maguro?11:44
ogra_my worry is that you will likely only see impact after a while of usage and with a few more apps open over time11:44
ogra_nobody really tests that11:44
rsalvetidavmor2: swap11:45
ogra_davmor2, dropping swap all over the place ... maguro has the lowest ram so will show issues first11:45
davmor2ogra_: meh11:45
davmor2rsalveti, ogra_: was your new years revolution to make my phone as unusable as possible ;)11:47

ogra_(it should link to xda threads for the different devices)11:59
crupieI've tried a few rooms that Ive looked up on google but made the phone amazingly slow11:59
ogra_well, contact the maintainer (his launchpad profile should be linked from the devices page too) ... there isnt an official port (official ones are only nexus devices)12:01
crupieI see, thank you12:02
crupiehave you been using it?12:02
ogra_actually i have ... but i havent touched my S2 in 6 months now ... so i dont know how the status is12:03

Guest61953but when i connect to wifi which is protected like individual password, it is open wifi but u have to connect ur identify15:05

cyphermoxGuest61953: jsut go open some other page in the browser, like www.google.com or something15:13
cyphermoxprobably www.ubuntu.com isn't in the captive portal's poor understanding of the webs15:13
Guest61953i tried to open new page same here15:13
davmor2ogra_: so it's a connection like you would get at a pub I guess, open network but you sign up for an account and then you get a user and password to connect in future15:14

Guest61953which one is u suggest saucy or trusty*15:18
Guest61953?15:18
cyphermoxGuest61953: so, what you might be able to do is restart your phone, then instead of clicking on the browser when you are connected, click on GMail. Some captive portals aren't very friendly and just give you one or two attempts to load up some known page to get to sign up15:18

Guest61953which one is your prefer saucy or trausy version of ubuntu touch?15:28
ogra_trusty ... saucy was still very young when it was released. trusty is far more featureful (and i would also say more stable)15:28
xnoxGuest61953: trusty is the current in-development and in-testing version, with many updates and features. saucy is declared stable at this point and does not receive any feature updates.15:28
Guest61953everybody says saucy is stable but i think that not smooth on nexus 415:29

Guest61953i want to know about hardware issue15:30
Guest61953is it damage to device?15:30
xnoxGuest61953: well "stable" as in the updates-channel called "stable" currently is an alias to "saucy" =) it was planned to change "stable" alias to "trusty" before christmas.15:30

ogra_cwayne, sounds sane to do it the same way as /etc/timezone ... but stgraber might better see any possible issues with that16:48
cjwatsoncwayne: wrong guy :)16:49
cjwatsoncwayne: (I was involved in drive-by review of the approach but not in the implementation)16:49
cwayneah, apologies then :)16:50
cjwatsoncwayne: I can tell you now though, making a single file writable is probably a bad idea since it precludes any correct atomic handling of that file, so probably better to link to /etc/writable/16:50

stgrabercwayne: what cjwatson said16:54
cwaynestgraber, ACK.  i can't seem to find where the link is created though16:55
stgraberogra_: hey, since you're around, did you see the initramfs-tools-ubuntu-touch FTBFS? I tried to workaround it but without much success (well, I replaced an update-initramfs failure by a segfault, not sure what's best)16:55
ogra_i faintly remember seeing you talk about it ...16:55
ogra_like ... last year ...16:55
stgraber:)16:55
stgraberogra_: the only thing I changed was scripts/touch to add trim support so I know I didn't cause the failure, but the massive amount of changes to fakeroot/fakechroot probably did... do you have some cycles to put into getting that thing to build again? (as I'm not very familiar with how you did the packaging for that stuff)16:57
ogra_well, my original packaging was re-written in parts by cjwatson ... i'm trying to take a look atm16:58
stgraberok, thanks16:58
ogra_did you try to just give it back already ?16:59
stgraber0.65 should probably be reverted, it was an attempt at working around the fakeroot/fakechroot change by installing fakeroot and fakechroot into the chroot. I was hoping that'd fix the problem temporarily but it only caused a segfault instead (and is technically the wrong solution anyway as it'd bloat our initrd)16:59
cwayneah, it seems the symlinks are made in livecd-rootfs16:59
stgraberyeah, I tried the build 2-3 times, the segfault isn't racy...16:59

ogra_WHAT ?!?!17:27
ogra_stgraber, so the segfault seems gone with the latest fakechroot ... but it tries to copy_exec libfakeroot into the initrd now o_O17:28
stgraberogra_: yeah, that's the behaviour I first had with 0.64 which I tried to workaround with 0.65 by having fakeroot/fakechroot present in the chroot but apparently even that didn't work17:30
ogra_well, something seems to install an initramfs hook that calls this17:30

=== dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk
ogra_hmm17:41
=== gatox_lunch is now known as gatox
ogra_stgraber, so it seems fakechroot uses LD_PRELOAD now ... that would explain why everything during initramfs-tools build wants to pull it in17:41
stgraberogra_: yeah, I suspected the ldd output to be the problem there... not sure what the right fix is though17:42
ogra_unsetting LD_PRELOAD before running update-initramfs i guess17:42
stgrabereverything will fail if you do that (or should anyway)17:43
stgraberas without LD_PRELOAD you won't be in the fake chroot and won't have fake root privileges17:43
ogra_sigh ... so we need to exclude it from copy_exec i guess17:44
ogra_thats messy17:44
stgraberyeah... I guess that'd involve patching update-initramfs' ldd handler to filter out libfake*17:47

sergiusensbfiller, great, I'd thought I'd dogfood the gallery on desktop as well19:10
sergiusensand vaguely recalled seeing an MR for that19:10
mhall119sergiusens: is somebody dogfooding the browser on desktop?19:28
sergiusensmhall119, don't know19:29
sergiusensmhall119, as soon as the oxide stuff is ready I plan to19:29
mhall119cool19:29
mhall119I'm dogfooding the coreapps on the desktop now19:30
sergiusensmhall119, which ones?19:32
dkesseloh... i should do that again, too :) forgot the core apps ppa after reinstalling everything19:32
sergiusensmhall119, I would love shorts to move to u1db19:33
sergiusensthat would make the case for using it on desktop a lot better :-)19:33
mhall119sergiusens: me too19:33
ssweenyis there any timeline for u1db syncing to land?19:34
mhall119sergiusens: it's on the list of things we'd like to add this cycle19:34
mhall119ssweeny: for a specific app, or in general/19:34
mhall119?19:34
ssweenymhall119, in general19:34
dobeydoes the qt u1db stuff not have sync support?19:34
mhall119kalikiana_: ^^ does u1db syncing work yet?19:34
ssweenyi've seen several apps that claim to support "u1db syncing" but it seems they're just using u1db and assuming sync is automatic19:35
ssweenythere is a sync element i've seen in some of the example code but it's not in the docs19:35
dobeysync is not automatic19:35
mhall119dobey: it wasn't initially, the work was focused on implementing the u1db API itself19:35
sergiusensmhall119, it would be a good case to require u1 login to install apps though ;-)19:35
dobeymhall119: right, but that was like a year ago already :)19:35
mhall119sergiusens: I think anybody that still needs convincing on that, isn't likely to be convinced on that19:35
dobeysergiusens: u1 login is required to install apps…19:36
mhall119dobey: exaggerate a bit there, the phone was only just announced a year go :-P19:36
sergiusensdobey, I know, it was` just one more argument for needing it19:36
mhall119on that note, wow it's only been a year?  Look at how much we've accomplished19:36
dobeymhall119: i mean, wasn't implementing the local u1db API itself done like 6 months ago?19:37
mhall119dobey: I think so, there abouts19:38
ahayzenme and nik90 have been investigating moving parts of the storage over to U1DB for the music/clock app but we've hit a few blockers atm (as u may have seen in the mailing lists)19:38
mhall119your app still need to tell U1DB to sync, it's not automatic, and you need to be able to merge conflicting changes if they happen (edit something on your phone, then on your desktop, then try to sync the 2)19:41
dobeyindeed19:42
mhall119kalikiana_ was working on it, so I'll wait for an update from him19:43
kalikiana_mhall119: in principle yes. but I haven't seen it used with a public u1 server19:43
kalikiana_the eventual plan would be to make it automatic, but that's not what we have19:44
mhall119kalikiana_: but you've tested the implementation to make sure it works?19:44
dkesselhmmm. trying to install 'touch-coreapps' from the PPA i have a problem - the metapackage is missing in the 'trusty' series... is there a different way to get the apps on the desktop?19:44
kalikiana_mhall119: it does work. the blocker is having qml api and using it. it was tested with basically avoiding that non-existing api19:44
mhall119dkessel: I don't know if they're still being auto-built in the PPA, they should all be click packages now19:44
mhall119kalikiana_: so there's no way to trigger a sync from QML yet?19:45
kalikiana_mhall119: for getting u1 credentials I mean19:45
mhall119kalikiana_: ah, we have U1 in Online Accounts now though, can it grab the credentials from there automagically?19:45
mhall119I assume OnlineAccounts only supports one U1 account19:45
ahayzenkalikiana_, if it became automatic would we still have the option not to sync some dbs?19:45
mhall119ahayzen: why wouldn't you?19:46
kalikiana_mhall119: it needed a wrapper to support it, I don't know if that is done at this point. it has a not so typical authentication step other stuff doesn't need19:46
mhall119kalikiana_: but those steps should all be handled by ubuntu-online-accounts19:47
ahayzenmhall119, because we will probably store music data in their, say playlists, but u could have different music in different locations on different devices19:47
ahayzenmhall119, we ideally want *some* things to be synced19:47
mhall119ahayzen: ah, yes, that age-old problem19:47
ahayzenmhall119, unless all our music is synced as well :)19:48
kalikiana_ahayzen: yeah, I was looking into that use case for app settings. I am expecting a bool basically - the details of how to get sync working is what I want to get rid of when I say aztomatic really19:49
ahayzenkalikiana_, cool19:49
kalikiana_so all developers don't have to know exactly about all the details19:49
ahayzen...i heard rumours of a Settings API?19:50
dkesselmhall119, thanks - where would i find information on how to get the core apps via click?19:50
=== jaywink_ is now known as jaywink
kalikiana_mhall119: I don't know if online accounts can hide those steps at this point. I simply didn't have time to persistently follow it19:50
mhall119bzoltan: I noticed that pressing Alt raises the SDK Toolbar, but is there a way to add additional key bindings to ToolbarButton that would allow them to be triggered via keyboard?19:50
mhall119dkessel: for desktop?19:51
dkesselmhall119, yes19:51
kalikiana_ahayzen: yep. there's a branch https://code.launchpad.net/~kalikiana/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/appsettings/+merge/181304 if you want to check it out. it sort of indirectly hit other missing features so it got delayed a bit19:51
mhall119dkessel: there isn't an easy way right now19:52
ahayzenkalikiana_, awesome :) i guess tht would be autosynced as well?19:52
mhall119kalikiana_: while you're around, and since Wellark isn't, are you aware of the need to add toolbar-item-hint properties to the Actions API so they can bind to the HUD toolbar items?19:53
kalikiana_ahayzen: yes. you set sync: true or false. you don't actually need to know that it uses u1db internally but that's what the storage is19:53
ahayzenkalikiana_, nice19:54
kalikiana_mhall119: I'm hearing that for the first time. is that on the unity actions side or on the ui toolkit side?19:54
mhall119kalikiana_: in http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/qml/sdk-1.0/Ubuntu.Components.Action/ I believe19:55
mhall119or maybe add properties for each of those HUD toolbar items to MainView, and let the developer assign an Action to that property instead of adding an item hint to the Action itself19:56
dobeykalikiana_: not sure what steps you're talking about for the u1 account…20:00
kalikiana_mhall119: I'm a bit unclear. could it be it's not clear how to use actions in the toolbar?20:01
kalikiana_if you put buttons in there they can internally have hud actions at the same time20:02
kalikiana_dobey: on how to get credentials for sync. compared to other online accounts u1 needs one more step. I don't know it exactly off head, that's the short version I can still recall20:03
kalikiana_it might have been about signing the URL - but I'm not 100% sure20:04
dobeykalikiana_: you have to sign the URL with any OAuth-using REST API20:05
dobeyi don't recall how exactly it's done for u1db, but if you get the credentials from UOA, you should be able to sign the url just fine20:05
kalikiana_ultimately yes. the question is if at this point this can be done in qml20:06
kalikiana_that's the missing piece for sync20:06
mhall119kalikiana_: the HUD itself has a few icons at the bottom, that looks like Settings, Help/About, Back and Fullscreen, but there's no way for an app to bind to those right now, because they require this toolbar-item-hint property in the DBus bindings used to transmit Actions to the HUD20:12
dobeykalikiana_: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntuone-control-tower/ubuntuone-credentials/trunk/view/head:/qml-credentials-service/examples/embeddingMain.qml#L4720:12
kalikiana_mhall119: oh. that's best for Wellark to answer then, I don't know about those20:16
kalikiana_dobey: thanks! I'm going to give this a try (tomorrow)20:17

silvarionGood mornign/afternoon/evening22:28
silvarionI was checking about Ubuntu Touch, Iḿ interested in making a port for a Motorola Atrix 4G (codename olympus)22:29
silvarionI was just wondering if Scott, the contact person in the Wiki page is currently making the port22:30
fishsceneDid you try contacting him? I see his name listed as the contact person.22:31
silvarionI checked his website but under Projects, nothing points to an Ubuntu Touch port22:31
