[07:39] <mihir> any idea , how can we check the object type, wthr its an integer or a date?
[12:23] <ubuntudroid> hi all, is this the right place to ask questions regarding ubuntu app development?
[12:24] <netcurli> yes
[12:24] <ubuntudroid> great
[12:24] <ubuntudroid> I have a problem with deploying my app to the emulator. The log always tells me the following:
[12:24] <ubuntudroid> [13:18:45] bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Invalid argument
[12:25] <ubuntudroid> bash: no job control in this shell
[12:25] <ubuntudroid> QUbuntu: Could not create application instance
[12:25] <ubuntudroid> [13:18:45] bash: [2976: 3 (255)] tcsetattr: Invalid argument
[12:25] <ubuntudroid> [13:18:45]
[12:25] <ubuntudroid> [13:18:45] /usr/share/qtcreator/ubuntu/scripts/qtc_device_run_app finished with code 134
[12:25] <ubuntudroid> any clues on what's going on here?
[12:25] <ubuntudroid> using the ubuntu sdk for deploying
[12:27] <netcurli> what kind of app do you have? pure qml?
[12:27] <ubuntudroid> yes
[12:27] <ubuntudroid> further up the log says: "[13:26:32] Going to execute: export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-pmTAINg59o; APP_ID=UrlShortener qmlscene  /home/phablet/dev_tmp/UrlShortener/shortener/UrlShortener.qml --desktop_file_hint=/home/phablet/.local/share/applications/UrlShortener.desktop "
[12:28] <ubuntudroid> I think one of the attributes given here is the root for the problem
[12:28] <ubuntudroid> shall I post my .desktop file?
[12:29] <netcurli> if you want: http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[12:29] <ubuntudroid> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7101641/
[12:30] <ubuntudroid> the app runs fine in qmlscene viewer on my desktop pc
[12:30] <netcurli> you can create a click package in the Publish tab and let the sdk validate that for you
[12:31] <netcurli> that should find common mistakes
[12:33] <ubuntudroid> how long should that normally take? ubuntu sdk shows a notification with Click Reviewers t... (not sure how to expand that), but the progress bar stays empty
[12:34] <ubuntudroid> log says "Package has been created to
[12:34] <ubuntudroid> /home/ubuntudroid/Projects/ubuntu-project/com.ubuntu.developer.ubuntudroid.atomurl_0.1_all.click"
[12:34] <ubuntudroid> but the notification stays open with 0% progress
[12:35] <netcurli> what version of ubuntu do you use?
[12:35] <ubuntudroid> sorry, forgot to mention: 13.10
[12:35] <ubuntudroid> the emulator itself runs just fine
[12:35] <netcurli> do you have the ubuntu-sdk ppa enabled=
[12:35] <netcurli> ?
[12:36] <ubuntudroid> yes, just received the emulator package update 2 days ago
[12:36] <ubuntudroid> before the emulator stopped during boot
[12:37] <ubuntudroid> but the update sorted that out
[12:38] <netcurli> do you have click-reviewers-tools installed?
[12:38] <netcurli> (not sure if that gets automatically installed with the sdk)
[12:38] <ubuntudroid> oh, didn't knew I had to
[12:38] <ubuntudroid> doing that now
[12:40] <netcurli> if you have that, the click validation in the sdk should work
[12:40] <ubuntudroid> yeah, now the notification's progress bar properly filled up and the notification disappeared after packaging was done
[12:40] <ubuntudroid> no error messages however
[12:41] <ubuntudroid> at least not in the ide - are they located somewhere else?
[12:42] <netcurli> you can see the messages "click-check-lint" etc in the publish tab now?
[12:42] <netcurli> on the right hand side
[12:43] <netcurli> if there were errors they would show up there
[12:45] <ubuntudroid> nope, there is nothing like that on the right hand side
[12:46] <netcurli> you can also run click-run-checks on the command line
[12:47] <netcurli> http://imgur.com/paxAXf3
[12:47] <netcurli> this is how it looks for me
[12:48] <ubuntudroid> oh, that's strange, I don't see the entire validation panel
[12:48] <netcurli> you might have to restart the sdk and/or create the package again
[12:50] <ubuntudroid> ah, okay
[12:52] <ubuntudroid> okay, that's strange - now I just have the validation panel but the left panel which I've used for creating the package is gone
[12:52] <ubuntudroid> maye a bug in the sdk?
[12:52] <ubuntudroid> at least validation works now and shows some errors
[12:52] <netcurli> that's strange indeed.. I haven't had that before, might be a bug, yea
[12:52] <netcurli> ok
[12:53] <ubuntudroid> okay, I'll go and try to fix these error first and report back afterwards - thanks for your help! :)
[12:55] <ubuntudroid> okay, small update on the publish panes: the click pane reappeared as soon as I loaded the project into the ide - simply forgot to do that after restarting^^
[12:55] <ubuntudroid> now there's two shiny panes :)
[12:55] <netcurli> ok :)
[13:08] <ubuntudroid> well, it works now (sort of) - the action item I had defined in my .desktop file caused the installation problem as the Name and Exec attributes obviously occurred twice in the file
[13:09] <ubuntudroid> this seems to be a bug from my pov
[13:10] <ubuntudroid> after removing the action items the application started, but showed a black screen - afterwards I tried installing it which created another instance (also black). Then I switched back to the first instance which out of a sudden now showed my UI.
[13:11] <ubuntudroid> not sure what to make of that
[13:49] <ubuntudroid> ah, swiping horizontally over the application makes it show its UI properly. it always starts black initially.
[14:02] <ubuntudroid> okay, next problem - somehow my icon isn't picked up: I added one (icon.png) in the app's main directory and then linked it in the .desktop file like so "Icon=icon.png"
[14:02] <ubuntudroid> However it is never shown
[14:04] <nik90> netcurli: do you happen to know if it is possible to install touch-apps on trusty desktop using click packaging?
[14:04] <nik90> netcurli: or should I provide a PPA to users or testers who want to try my app on their desktop?
[14:05] <popey> nik90: dont
[14:05] <ubuntudroid> @nik90: when I try to open my click package in software center, I always get an error stating, that it couldn't be opened - however this is on 13.10, maybe 14.04 has better support for that
[14:06] <popey> nik90: it may work, but you dont get confinement for one
[14:06] <nik90> popey: don't to which statement?
[14:06] <popey> sorry, pressed enter too early ☻
[14:07] <popey> I would provide a ppa with a deb in it for desktop users for now.
[14:07] <nik90> popey: ah that's good...because I have a plan. I am intending to create a PPA for Flashback and more to provide testers to help test Flashback on their desktop. This should help with convergence testing.
[14:08] <nik90> popey: Do you know if the click package of clock app contain the debian folder? Or is it removed just before creating the click package and uploading to the store?
[14:09] <nik90> ubuntudroid: ok.. yeah I got that as well
[15:30] <ahayzen> nik90, ping
[15:54] <ubuntudroid> I simply cannot make my app icon appear in the emulator - there must be some hidden trick besides putting the Icon=icon.png line into the .desktop file and making sure, that "icon": "icon.png" is part of the manifest.json. Any hints?
[15:57] <ubuntudroid> Btw, the app only very rarely appears under installed apps after installing it on the emulator via Ubuntu SDK. Directly running it via CTRL-F12 always works. Could that be a hint, that I did something wrong or is it just an emulator shortcoming?
[16:40] <timppa> hi, any QML experts online?
[16:40] <timppa> My hair is falling as I try to test conditional layouts on trusty
[16:41] <timppa> should they work with Qt5.2?
[18:11] <timppa> It seems that if one uses MainView { -block then layouts don't work!? I also might be doing something wron
[18:11] <timppa> g
[20:15] <nik90> ahayzen: late pong
[20:20] <ahayzen_> nik90, was looking at https://bugs.launchpad.net/u1db-qt/+bug/1266478
[20:20] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 1266478 in Ubuntu Music App "Query model doesn't work properly with a multilevel document list" [Medium,Triaged]
[20:20] <ahayzen_> nik90, appears to be sortof fixed in trusty
[20:21] <ahayzen_> nik90, i tried building a test app here https://code.launchpad.net/~andrew-hayzen/+junk/test-u1db-playlist-app
[20:21] <ahayzen_> nik90, it is based on ur example with the addition of filtering
[20:21] <ahayzen_> nik90, but as u can see u can't access playlist.name
[20:21] <cwayne> hey, has anyone else had any issues with Timers?  it seems that it's never getting triggered
[20:21] <nik90> ahayzen_: yup it got fixed, however make sure it is on the phone
[20:22] <cwayne> unless I do triggeredOnStart..
[20:22] <ahayzen_> nik90, not a trusty VM?
[20:22] <nik90> ahayzen_: I am on trusty
[20:22] <ahayzen_> nik90, it seems to be better than before
[20:23] <nik90> ahayzen_: however one of the bug fixes for u1db was reverted, can't remember if it was the multilevel fix or not
[20:23] <nik90> cwayne: did you start the timer?
[20:24] <cwayne> nik90: yep, and i console.logged timer.running to verify its true
[20:26] <nik90> cwayne: weird..I use timers regularly in the clock app
[20:27] <cwayne> yeah, i wonder if i'm doing something stupid...
[20:29] <nik90> cwayne: can you pastebin the timer code
[20:30] <cwayne> nik90: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7104344/
[20:36] <nik90> cwayne: hmm looks okay to me
[20:36] <cwayne> nik90: yeah :/  and if i uncomment startOnTriggered it runs twice
[20:39] <nik90> cwayne: weird....I just do timer1.start() and it does its thing
[20:40] <cwayne> huh, i wonder whats going on here then :/
[21:41] <cwayne> ugh, i have no idea how I could be doing this wrong...
