[02:34] Elleo: Interesting discussion the one you pointed out. Unfortunately it seems it didn't settle into a plan of actions. However somone suggested separating app into daemon/UI components and seemd to me that this is possible as of today. Not sure though. [02:35] Thorondor: for IM? i think there is already a telepathy daemon running in the background [02:38] dobey: In that case it should be possible to get access to multiple Messaging services by using it, and we just need to connect the messaging app to it in a way that everytime the app gets the focus it shows you the state of your active IM services. However we would need a notification callback to handle new messages too. [02:39] Thorondor: i'm pretty sure there is already some sort of notification support for sms, the same should be used for im [02:39] dobey: Sure [02:44] dobey: Do you know how can I writ ethe pipe character in the terminal app on touch? [02:44] I want to check if there's *telepathy* running [02:45] ps -A|grep telepathy [02:48] no idea [02:48] hehe, there's a lot to improve :) [02:48] I think only CTRL+ signals are handled right now [02:49] The keyboard for terminal should have a special layout [02:49] By the way, there's a telepathy-mission-control package [02:49] So, as you said it should be running back there [02:50] why not use adb shell and do ps afx in there? [03:10] dobey: Because I'm just learning Ubuntu touch, I first try what I'm used to use. Thanks for the suggestion [03:12] Thorondor: you've developed any apps for android before? [03:16] My first phone is my current nexus 4, and I bought it because I believe Ubuntu Touch is what I want to use. So I'm just starting in this context. Didn't want to try Android for development. [03:18] I don't want a phone, I want a portable computer with ubuntu and phone capabilities [03:20] Ah. Well, the full convergence story is a long way off. [03:21] Yeah, but it seems like a good moment to start playing with it [03:22] Solving IM and mail client, I can try to use it regularly [03:22] then push for power consumption [03:38] Thorondor, :D [03:38] Thorondor, the ui is fantastic. I can't wait to get my first official device. [03:43] Aki-Thinkpad: Yes, it looks pretty good. I still don't like the white background, but for sure could be customized. [03:43] Thorondor, oh they will probably include a high contrast theme, and a darker background === root is now known as Guest49047 [03:43] I like dark background, saves battery too [03:44] Thorondor, do you know how to get started in app development? I don't mind walking you through the basics [03:45] Well, I have been reading a bit. But didn't go to the details yet. I already got a branch from messaging-app in my pc [03:45] Thorondor, yah you are probably fine :P [03:46] I have to see how the croxx compiling is being done [03:46] cross compiling [03:46] and the procedure to get my experimental code tested on my device [03:47] I have the feeling that things are not being done the same way it works on the desktop [03:48] I'll have to give the IDE a try [03:55] So, in summary: We have a telepathy daemon running on the phone already. The phone-app is a telepathy client app and so has to be the messaging-app to handle IM. So I should try to enhance messaging app to be a generig IM app. [03:56] Time to sleep now, but seems like I have a plan to go. Nest move would be to take a look at the recommended development flow from code to test on the target device (nexus 4) [03:57] Thanks a lot guys for the feedback and help [03:57] Aki-Thinkpad: Thanks for the help offer. I'll remember that if I got any issues trying to follow the development flow. [03:58] Thorondor, If I can, i'll help :P [03:58] i am far from expert [03:59] Thorondor, please though come hang out in #ubuntu-app-devel [03:59] It doesn't matter. It's just about getting the different bits of knowledge together and make it work. I'm just starting to document myself about the touch development model. [04:00] Aki-Thinkpad: Ok, I will thanks [04:00] o/ [04:01] Ok, Good Night [04:03] ubuntu touch has new image togheter with trusty release? [04:03] i would like to retry it on my nexus7 [04:20] can someone confirm if flip horizontal have been fixxed on ubuntu-touch on nexus7?? [04:53] i am new here and wanna use ubuntu touch in Iron Rock Motorola Iden/3G device [04:54] does anyone could send me more information about?? [04:54] wponso, have you checked the ubuntu devices wiki? [04:55] Yes, Aki, but I cant find information about the Iden part [04:55] wponso, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices [04:55] Iden? [04:55] Iden is the Nextel type of carrier phone [04:55] there are GSM, WCDMA and nothing abonut Iden [04:56] Iron Rock = XT626 Morotola [04:56] will this guide install latest touch on my nexus? http://itsfoss.com/install-ubuntu-touch-nexus-7-2013/ [04:57] wponso, I am no expert here, so take this with a grain of salt [04:57] wponso, but I do not think anyone has made an image for your device yet [04:57] ie, if you want to get ubuntu touch working on that phone, it looks like you will have to port it yourself [04:58] Yes Aki, I know that anyone done this, but If I have more document about, I can start this [04:58] ...and share it :D [04:59] wponso, I would start by finding the android version code name for your device [04:59] Android 2.3 [04:59] wponso, for my own part, I tried porting a later release for a nook tablet, but found myself overwhelmed with the complexity [05:00] wponso, that is not what I mean. [05:00] sure [05:00] wponso, every device has a code name [05:00] Wait a little minute [05:00] Ginger Bread [05:00] *facepalm* [05:01] nope, thats not what I mean either [05:01] :P [05:01] here [05:01] Galaxy Nexus [05:01] [05:01] maguro (GSM/HSPA+ Variant) [05:01] Nexus 4 [05:01] [05:01] mako [05:01] Nexus 7 [05:01] [05:01] grouper [05:01] Nexus 10 [05:01] [05:01] manta [05:01] ergo, galaxy nexus == maguro [05:01] nexus4 == mako [05:01] Aki-Thinkpad: did you test the nex touch yet? [05:02] new [05:02] I thing that I need some drivers to get the succesfull port [05:02] lotuspsychje, not yet. I don't have a device to even use it on. [05:02] Aki-Thinkpad: ok tnx im gonna retry it then [05:02] wponso, do you have any experience with android and its kernel? [05:02] no I am not test the new touch, I wann try with this device [05:03] I ported other devices to new android versions, but never try with Ubuntu [05:03] tryed [05:03] tried, sorry [05:03] :) [05:04] wponso, well that is a start. XDA forums might be a good place to start, or askubuntu [05:04] XDA has fell documents about ubuntu, more about Android. [05:04] wponso, Its complicated; I gave up, and that was with an existing image. [05:05] But I have little patience for documentation [05:05] Anyways, good luck; I need to get back to work on my app :p [05:06] ok, I will try contact with askubuntu, but my impression is that they don't share many information about [05:06] tks for patience and time [05:06] good lucky [05:12] wponso, askubuntu is pretty good, but you have to know how to ask. [05:12] wponso, and you can put bounties on your question [05:13] I will try, but I found old solutions out of UbuntuAsk, in the past. Some of theese questions was ignored (it was my impression). But I will try (I am doing this now) [05:22] Hey Aki, that is my post http://askubuntu.com/questions/451117/porting-ubuntu-touch-on-motorola-xt624-iron-rock [06:41] hii.. i want to put the ubuntu touch on my samsung galaxy note n7000. i have followed the guide at ubuntu wiki as they provide.. the problem is, i can't boot my device (hold power button + volume down + home) [07:32] whats the command to install new ubuntu touch? [07:33] wiki shows the developing version [07:39] this is what i get on my nexus7 [07:39] lotuspsychje@RooTBoX:~$ ubuntu-device-flash --channel=trusty --bootstrap [07:39] 2014/04/20 09:38:44 Device is |flo| [07:39] 2014/04/20 09:38:45 Flashing version 302 from trusty channel and server https://system-image.ubuntu.com to device flo [07:39] 2014/04/20 09:39:10 Get https://system-image.ubuntu.com/gpg/image-master.tar.xz.asc: EOF [08:11] Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone can help me anwer a few questions about device compatibility... [08:38] they always leave so quickly [13:32] whats the command to install the new ubuntu-touch? wiki shows still the dev version [13:33] lotuspsychje, report that as a bug. [13:34] lotuspsychje, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntudeveloperportal [13:35] presuming that it is outdated [13:35] well im not sure [13:36] cant find any tutorial on the new touch version [13:36] lotuspsychje, why not just download the dev version? [13:36] Aki-Thinkpad, ive tested the dev version already [13:36] o_O [13:37] Aki-Thinkpad, thats not the same as new ubuntu touch right? [13:37] :) [13:37] don't know. I am assuming (not an expert here), that no stable release will be made until they get it on the phone. [13:37] their bq phones etc [13:38] Aki-Thinkpad, i found articles about they released a new ubuntu touch [13:38] togheter with 14.04 [13:38] shows you what I know~ [13:38] lotuspsychje: it's just a matter of setting what channel you want with ubuntu-device-flash, e.g. --channel=stable (or --channel=trusty) will give you stable, --channel=devel will give you devel and --channel=devel-proposed will give you the most experimental images [13:38] oh interesting [13:39] you won't see much difference between devel and stable at the moment though, I think they're probably the same image since I don't think anything has been promoted to devel since the release [13:39] Elleo, do you know if the new version fixxed horizontal flip? [13:39] lotuspsychje: in what way? [13:39] Elleo, yes but the image has changed then the image from few weeks ago right? [13:39] lotuspsychje: yes [13:39] Elleo, ive installed ubuntu touch dev version on my nexus7 weeks ago [13:40] Elleo, so the plan is to test the newer version right now [13:40] Elleo, but the guide to install i followed, didnt work anymore [13:40] lotuspsychje: what about it didn't work? [13:41] lotuspsychje: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install is pretty much the definitive guide [13:41] Elleo, after the command to download, it failed on me [13:41] http://itsfoss.com/install-ubuntu-touch-nexus-7-2013/ [13:42] Elleo, after this line: ubuntu-device-flash --channel=trusty --bootstrap [13:42] lotuspsychje: if you've already got an image you don't want to follow those instructions [13:42] those are for setting up a clean image [13:42] just "ubuntu-device-flash --channel=trusty" is enough [13:43] gave me aok lemme retry that one holdon [13:44] Elleo, and that will install latest trusty image right? [13:44] yes [13:44] ok tnx :p [13:44] although if you're interested in testing the latest (relatively stable) stuff in the future you'll want to flash the devel channel [13:45] the trusty image won't change much from this point since it's "stable" now [13:45] Elleo, i wanna try the most stable release that came out togheter with trusty [13:45] (at the moment trusty and devel are identical, but that won't be the case when people start working again next week) [13:46] Elleo, isnt there an update function after from terminal? [13:46] lotuspsychje: there's a gui update function in the system settings [13:46] iirc it only works if you don't enable a writable image [13:47] ic [13:47] but the trusty image won't be changing any more, so the next update on that channel will be in (presumably) 6 months time with the next release [13:47] thats np [13:47] if i can see the renewed touch ill be glad === lazowik is now known as lazowik|afk [13:50] Elleo, lotuspsychje@R00TB00K:~$ adb reboot bootloader [13:50] lotuspsychje@R00TB00K:~$ ubuntu-device-flash --channel=trusty [13:50] 2014/04/20 15:49:57 Expecting the device to expose an adb interface... [13:50] 2014/04/20 15:49:57 exit status 255 [13:50] this is what i get [13:51] lotuspsychje: is your device booted up and connected? [13:52] it should just be running normal in UT [13:52] Elleo, oh ok [13:52] from android? [13:52] no, Ubuntu Touch [13:52] i dont have touch installed on it yet [13:52] ah, sorry, when you said you'd installed an earlier image I assumed you still had it installed [13:53] in that case you do want the --bootstrap option [13:53] ok [13:53] and yes, you want to be in android at the time [13:53] lets try :p [13:54] oh no hang on [13:54] for bootstrap you need to be in the bootloader [13:54] yes thats where i go [13:54] adb reboot bootloader [13:54] is the bootloader unlocked? [13:54] yes [13:54] and the device is in usb debugging mode? [13:54] yes :p [13:54] in that case I don't know why it's not being detected by adb [13:55] best thing I can suggest is to run through the steps here and see if there's anything you might have missed/those other instructions missed: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install [13:55] yesss [13:55] there it goes [13:55] lotuspsychje@R00TB00K:~$ ubuntu-device-flash --channel=trusty --bootstrap [13:55] 2014/04/20 15:55:38 Expecting the device to be in the bootloader... waiting [13:55] 2014/04/20 15:55:38 Device is |flo| [13:55] 2014/04/20 15:55:39 Flashing version 302 from trusty channel and server https://system-image.ubuntu.com to device flo [13:56] ah, cool [13:56] so channel trusty would be the latest stable 14.04 touch version? [13:57] and channel dev the develope version? [13:57] yes [13:57] there are so many folders on that index [13:58] the basic procedure at the moment is that work happens in "devel-proposed", then if it doesn't fail too many import tests it gets promoted to "devel", then every ~6 months the latest "devel" image gets promoted to the "stable" channel [13:58] I would suspect that might change a bit once consumer releases are available, as there might well be ongoing maintenance work on the "stable" channel or something too, but I'm just guessing there [13:58] i see, every folder new stage [14:00] well you guys done great work, congrats for that [14:00] :) [14:00] it can only get better the comming time [14:02] i dont wanna get stuck on insecure android [14:06] ok downloading done and showing purple ubuntu screen [14:07] first boot will take a while [14:08] ubuntu wheel turning :p === Ursinha is now known as Ursinha-afk [14:13] Elleo, it worked mate tnx alot! [14:13] great :) [14:15] looking good :p [14:16] much smoother then last image [14:25] good [14:25] it might be interesting to share that to users somehow Elleo [14:26] that ubuntu-device-flash --channel=trusty --bootstrap [14:26] well it's pretty much all on the wiki page, althought perhaps not as well explained as it could be [14:26] although* [14:26] i only saw a few video's on youtube running the new image yet [14:26] the focus there is on getting people on to the devel image since that's where most new stuff happens [14:27] ah i understand [14:28] so channel=devel with also get latest 'test' version of the renewed trusty right? [14:28] and from there users can help the community? [14:29] yeah, pretty much [14:30] tnx alot for the clear info :p [14:30] happy nexus user now here [14:30] good :) [14:31] is it possible to install classic terminal packages as nmap or so? [14:32] lotuspsychje: yep, if you switch to having a writable image by doing "phablet-config writable-image" [14:32] you can then just do "sudo apt-get install nmap" [14:32] (default password is "phablet") [14:32] Elleo, can i add that phablet line in terminal? [14:33] lotuspsychje: you need to do that from your desktop machine [14:33] ah okay [14:33] (with the tablet/phone attached via usb) [14:33] and can i change the default root pass? [14:33] yep [14:33] nicely [14:34] installing phablet-tools :p [14:40] lotuspsychje@R00TB00K:~$ phablet-config writable-image [14:40] PING launchpad.net (91.189.89.222) 56(84) bytes of data. [14:40] worked [14:41] and my new trusty desktop shows nexus icon mounted [14:41] thats sweet [14:44] :) [14:47] Elleo, phablet worked as root, now how do i change root pass? [14:48] lotuspsychje: just run passwd as phablet [14:48] lets see [14:48] there isn't a root password as such, since it's using sudo [14:48] so it authenticates phablet as root via phablet's own password (just like on desktop Ubuntu) [14:49] passwd: password update succesfully [14:49] :p [14:50] and installing nmap [14:50] yes yes [14:50] Elleo, your the lifesaver of the day :p [14:51] glad to be of help :) [14:51] :p === Ursinha-afk is now known as Ursinha === lazowik|afk is now known as lazowik [18:12] How does ubuntu touch perform on the nexus 7 let, anyone know? [18:12] I mean lte [18:12] the 2013 version? [18:13] Yeah. [18:13] only the wifi version is officialy supported, and it works pretty well on it [18:14] I have it on a nexus 4 and it's ... Disappointing right now. ...... oh, well then [18:14] I maintain unofficial server with daily builds for the lte version, and the mobile data work on it [18:14] it's not gonna work better than n4 [18:14] alas. Thanks for the answer though. [18:14] the OS is still very much in development, so yeah [18:15] Yeah ... I heard summer was the target for a usable daily driver? [18:16] Hopefully it'll be much better in a few months :) [18:16] "daily driver" is rather relative term [18:16] many people here use it daily and are fine with it, but for me it's not there yet [18:21] I suppose if you use it daily you forget how much more responsive android is in comparison [19:30] it really is relative. Idk, I have an iphone so it would have to do a lot. :p [19:38] echoe: iphones do what they do well. Maybe once ubuntu touch moves beyond just basic smartphone stuff and onto the meaty stuff like docking it will become interesting [19:39] definitely. I mean, first one would hope they can work on the keyboard a bit ... idk. Maybe I'll look into it and can code ubuntu touch swype. x.x and make it so the keyboard doesn't hang out so much or at least has a button to close ... [19:41] in my opinion, it is a bit unfair to compare ubuntu touch, which doesn't even have it's own device released, with systems which have been out for years right now [19:42] meh, all it would have to take is canonical to license myriad's alien dalvik like jolla are doing or implement their own.. and boom ubuntu had android apps [19:42] echoe: you can close the keyboard by swiping down from the top of it [19:44] imo ubuntu should have gone with more of a softkey approach rather than the guestures [19:44] I'm not really sold [19:59] bacteu: eh, gestures are fine as long as they're done right. softkeys tend to be a pain. for webos for example has all the gestures pretty much perfect [19:59] has canonical hired anyone who worked on webos? [20:00] or did google grab them all? [20:03] i don't know if anyone who worked on webos works at canonical (i didn't personally know anyone that worked on webos, at least afaik) [20:06] dobey: Matias Duarte comes to mind. [20:07] i don't know him [20:07] hes the guy behind android's current look [20:08] ok [20:10] It would be nice if there were more hints built into the is about how to do things [20:10] *os [20:10] in android? [20:11] Like, is there a way to close an open process in ubuntu? [20:11] No, in ubuntu touch [20:11] swipe all the way across the screen from the left edge, long press on the app under "Recent" in the apps scope, and then press on the [x] that shows up [20:29] See I thought I could flick them away like webos [20:29] I'll try that when I get home ... [20:47] So I know the instructions here - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install - say that it can take a long time, but how long should I be staring at a spinning ubuntu logo with an orange progress bar? It's already been about 2 hours. [20:49] The terminal where I issued the `ubuntu-device-flash --channel=devel --bootstrap` command has long since given me back my control so it doesn't seem as if my box is actively doing anything with the device. (A nexus 7 2013 if that matters) [22:00] Ok, using the recovery to wipe/format /data and the cache and then trying again worked. :) [23:07] Hello ubuntu-touch users! [23:09] Hey guys so I have ubuntu touch on my nexus 7 flo model tablet....but what I am wonder is if ubuntu touch is still being updated? [23:10] I installed ubuntu touch about 1.5 months ago so I want to know if I download ubuntu touch and flash it again if any new updates have taken place [23:12] not really [23:12] I mean, of course there's been updates [23:12] but.. you know.. [23:12] Nothing too significant [23:14] Ubuntu touch was one of thr reasons I went out and bought the nexus 7 flo [23:14] I cant wait till it is 100% [23:15] I am now debating whether or not to buy the nexus 5 or the htc one m8 [23:15] the nexus 5 has ubuntu touch available right? [23:15] the nexus 5 would be about half the price I'd imagine [23:15] proxypirate: no official builds yet, but there's community builds [23:16] For nexus 5? [23:16] yes [23:17] Ya...the nexus 5 is a great phone but I would order the 32Gb from google since none of the US wireless carriers are offering the 32gb model in stores [23:17] the htc m8 comes with 32gb internal storage and has takes sdcards up to 128gb [23:18] But there is way more available for the nexus 5... [23:18] Decisions decisions [23:26] I'm trying to run a QML app on my nexus 4 and I've been getting this error "/usr/share/qtcreator/ubuntu/scripts/qtc_device_run_app finished with code 255" This has worked before, suddenly stopped
