dpmhey cwayne, what are you doing awake at this time? :-)08:50
cwaynedpm, just getting a kick start to the day :)08:50

cwaynedpm, :) so to answer your email, the scopes code can be found here: https://code.launchpad.net/savilerow08:51

mandelElleo, I need to confirm with ogra_ but AFAIK the udm is in the image and we should be able to land the browser changes08:52

dpmcwayne, cool, thanks. I'd like to file a bug with instructions on how to internationalize the u-s-tourism-shanghai scope, where do I do that?08:53
cwaynedpm, log against savilerow pls08:54
mandelogra_, I though we added the qml stuff of the download in the seeds, which is what we need to have udm expose to qml, right?08:54
dpmcwayne, cool, thanks08:54
cwaynedavidcalle, oh man, do-release-upgrade -d08:54
dpmwill do08:54
cwaynedavidcalle, starting now :)08:55
cwaynedpm, thanks, once i get instructions ill take a look today.  has the inline displayname i18n landed yet?08:55
ogra_mandel, one image later http://people.canonical.com/~ogra/touch-image-stats/6.changes "ubuntu-touch from 1.126 to 1.127" ... "New Packages: qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-download-manager0.1"08:56
mandelogra_, beautiful! :)08:57
dpmcwayne, it's been split in two branches: one landed in click scope trunk recently (but not yet in the images) and should already display the translations of .desktop files for the preinstalled click apps in the offline case - the other one is pending review and should display the translations from all app's .desktop files by querying the store when online08:57
cwaynedpm, but those are click specific, im just wondering about the scopes displayname set in the scope's  .ini09:00
dpmcwayne, ah, ok. So the scopes i18n branch(es) landed in trunk afaik, and should be in the images soon. For scopes, the next bit missing is now sending the user's locale to the scopes server for remote scopes. I was away for 2 days last week and I'm still catching up on e-mail, but IIRC mhr3 is already working on it. I'll follow up with him when he's online09:03
dpmgive me a sec to point you to the branches09:04
dpm_cwayne, these are the merged branches that add i18n support to the preinstalled (local) scopes -> https://code.launchpad.net/~mhr3/unity-scope-mediascanner/i18n-enablement/+merge/21738909:19

cwaynedpm, cool, thanks.09:37
cwaynedpm, i thought the .ini files were going to be translated inline?09:38
dpmcwayne, IIRC from last time I looked, that's what those branches did by using intltool-merge. But in any case, whether translations are merged back to the .ini file inline or are put into .mo files is just an implementation detail, the important thing is that the translations are loaded, regardless of how09:42

oSoMoNdidrocks, I’ll push a workaround for it, the actual bug needs to be fixed in the UITK or in Qt itself (not sure)11:35
didrocksoSoMoN: ok, keep us posted so that we can deliver it asap11:35
didrocksthanks11:35
bzoltan1oSoMoN: didrocks: the actual bug need to be fixed on the OSK plugin or in the QT input module ... the UITK has little to do with this issue. The cursor is blinking in the textfield and it tries to pop up the OSK... and it does not show up.11:36
oSoMoNdidrocks, well on a related note there is landing request 17 that blocks any other landings for webbrowser-app, do you know what needs to happen for the packages to be promoted from -proposed to -updates?11:36
didrocksoSoMoN: bzoltan1: do you mind updating the bug report with the correct informations?11:36
bzoltan1didrocks: sure11:36
didrocksMirv: can you track the webbrowser-app one? ^11:36
Mirvdidrocks: sure will11:37
didrocksmihir: oSoMoN: if it's a SRU, we can m&c and deliver the fix to utopic11:37
oSoMoNdidrocks, yes, it’s a SRU11:37
didrocksoSoMoN: being in proposed, that's fine, you can m&c + ignore version destination check11:38
oSoMoNok11:38
bzoltan1didrocks: oSoMoN:  the strange things is that I have seen this issue during the Silo verification... unity8, messaging-app and the browser has test failures because of the OSK was not coming up. That is why we had a fix... that fixed unity8, messaging app and 21 of the broiwser failures.11:38
MirvoSoMoN: regardless you'll want to verify https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1302780 though as having been fixed so that the update can proceed to -updates (in 4 days from now)11:38

oSoMoNMirv, dbarth: let’s put it on hold until after the fix lands, if that’s ok (does that mean the silo need to be unassigned?)12:04
MirvoSoMoN: however you wish. either the silo can be free:d or just a note added that it will require a rebuild after [another-silo] has landed12:04
oSoMoNMirv, cool, let’s go for the latter, as landing this fix for the AP tests should be quick and painless12:05
Mirvok12:05
MirvI added a note12:06
MirvoSoMoN: so do you want a silo for your "Cleaning up backlog", or will you add another line for the AP fix alone?12:06
oSoMoNMirv, I’ll add another line for the AP fix alone12:08
Mirvok, thanks12:08
dbarthoSoMoN: do i need to disable any request, or are you now free to proceed with yours?12:08
oSoMoNdbarth, we’ll put one on hold (line 15), but I don’t think it requires any active intervention from you12:09

ogratestto bad that the app lifecycle kills the connection after a while ... the app is only usable if you keep it in foreground13:36
mhall119while writing my Android->Ubuntu converter, I've found that Android apps use the ActionBar and just change the background and font13:36
mhall119and right now there's no reliable or easy way to do that withour SDK, especially ona per-page rather than per-app basis13:36

ogratestscripts ... pfft13:50
mterryfginther, well.  My new script does support changing how long we wait.  But also, with either method, there should be powerd locks surrounding the unlock that should prevent that13:50
mterryogratest, :)13:50
fginthermterry, ok, so if the powerd lock is acquired, it should not re-lock?13:51
mterrydoanac, speaking of unlock scripts -- with the difficulties we're having with testing the new unlock script.  Maybe it's worth unbundling the two changes -- 1) land new script then 2) move the logic down into phablet-test-run13:51

TyrfingMjolnirWhat is Ubuntu Touch?14:11
kenvandineit really is much simpler to build and deploy for ubuntu :)14:11

TyrfingMjolnirI assume it’s a full ubuntu distro with a UI optimized for touch screen?14:12
didrocksoSoMoN: sil2100 did the publication :)14:12
didrocksoSoMoN: well, at best, it's an hour14:12

oSoMoNogra_, nevermind, the status message in the spreadsheet changed already14:12
ogra_since the migration scripts check them all14:12
TyrfingMjolnirWill it also hook up to a screen and work as a regular ubuntu install if hooked up to keyboard, mouse and screen?14:12
ogra_TyrfingMjolnir, not yet, no14:13
ogra_TyrfingMjolnir, that will happen once we have unity8 for the desktop too ... on the road to the 16.04 release14:13

TyrfingMjolnirIf I hook up keyboard, mouse, and screen14:17
mhall119Xfce isn't designed or built for touch14:17
mhall119well then it might, but it would be useless on the device screen14:17
mhall119TyrfingMjolnir: we don't plan on running sepearate shells for phone and desktop when you plug it in like that, it'll be the same shell (Unity 8) , same process, etc14:18
TyrfingMjolnirunity8 could still run on the device screen, no?14:18
mhall119TyrfingMjolnir: Unity 8 would run both, from the same instance of Unity 814:18
TyrfingMjolniroki14:18

mhall119it won't be like Unity 8 on the phone screen, something else on the external screen14:18
* ogra_ too :) 14:18
TyrfingMjolnirAnyone know if that will happen at all?14:18
ogra_no, it wont14:19
mhall119TyrfingMjolnir: if which will happen?14:19
TyrfingMjolnirOr is 100% blown to stardust?14:19
TyrfingMjolnirUbuntu EDGE14:19
TyrfingMjolnirIt looked like such a nice device.14:19
ogra_currently all our resources are focusing on getting a normal phone OS ready14:19
mhall119oh, yeah, not likely no, hopefully some enterprising OEM will build something like it though14:19
TyrfingMjolnirI ordered 2, but it got cancelled14:19
ogra_at some point phones will be as powerful as the edge was planned ... by then the docking mode should be there too14:19
mhall119there are already octo-core chips out, I think the big thing that Edge had going for it was RAM and internal storage14:21
mhall119also the size/shape, which felt *so* nice in your hand14:21
TyrfingMjolnirWith 19nm technology, x86 processors should fit inside a handheld14:21
mhall119hmmm....I don't think x86 has caught up with ARM yet in terms of mobile efficiency14:22
stgrabercwayne: sorry for the delay, I finally got your extra aliases setup14:22
cwaynestgraber, lovely, thanks14:23
ogra_TyrfingMjolnir, sure, but they wont be like desktop CPUs ...14:25
TyrfingMjolnirI find it weird that new TVs dont have a build in Amiga14:25

* ogra_ looks at a mail from 2002 ... and over 34000 to scroll down to see something recent :(18:52
mhall119ogra_: there's some kind of bug18:53
ogra_well, one can see how it improves ...18:53
mhall119ogra_: if you rm -r ~/.config/net.flaska.trojita/ it'll sort properly and pull the latest, but only once, after you start the app again it goes back to misbehaving18:53
mhall119DanChapman: ^^ ogra_ is getting the same thing18:53
ogra_it also shows 32152 mail in my inbox while evo only shows 32038 ...18:55

DanChapmanogra_: when you first populate the list view is it sorted correctly "newest first" and then each return to the mailbox it is  oldest first?18:56
ogra_DanChapman, no, it was oldest first since i tried the new click package today, i havent wiped the config dir yet though18:57

SamTab101Hello. I'm curious about the current or planned level of support in Touch for standard Android apps. I've heard conflicting things. ..22:06
daniel31hello all. I want to buy an android phone which I can install ubuntu for android onto. (not ubuntu touch as I understand that isnt ready for primetime yet). has anyone been following u4a at all? I had heard from some sources it had been cancelled. I hope that isnt the case. I find it hard to get practical information on u4a without it being confused with canonical's marketting drive to the telcoms or information on the still upcoming ubuntu touch phone22:55
bactiirc ubuntu for android required co-operation from manufacturers or somesuch and was put on hold22:57
daniel31I was under the impression developer builds had been released..22:57
daniel31I even read a comment somewhere saying it could be installed from the google app store or something :-S22:57
daniel31I dont have an android phone atm so I'm not familiar with the current state of play..22:58
bactdaniel31: this article has a statement from canonical, http://www.androidauthority.com/ubuntu-for-android-limbo-374454/22:59
daniel31thanks22:59
daniel31here, from the comments - Q: Does anybody know how to get Ubuntu for Android on your phone? A: Safe way is installing multirom from Google Play23:01
bactI use multirom, and its offers ubuntu touch23:02
bactsomeone is probably confusing the products23:02
daniel31I'm surprised there isnt a small but thriving community predicated around u4a atm actually. I guess everyone is waiting for ubuntu touch..23:02
daniel31I'm very sorry (my last phone was an iphone but its dead now thanks to apple). what is multirom?23:03
bactmultirom uses a modified version of the twrp custom recovery to allow for multiple android/firefoxos/ubuntutouch installs23:03
bactso you reboot and pick what you want to boot into23:04
daniel31oh right. that's cool. but I guess I want to stay away from ubuntu touch until its ready for shipping. right now I need a new phone and I don't know if I should look for something I can install u4a onto (even tho as you say it is in limbo) or look for something that is future-proofed with a view to getting ubuntu touch on it.. what do you reckon?23:05
bacta nexus23:05
daniel31thats a good suggestion. shame about the price and lack of waterproofing tho.23:06
daniel31I take it you have a nexus?23:06
bactprice?23:06
daniel31they are quite expensive no?23:06
daniel31oh maybe I am mistaken23:06
bactthe nexus models are usually half the price of similar flagships23:06
daniel31oh that's good23:06
bact$300 vs $60023:06
bactgoogle sells them close to cost23:07
daniel31very good. actually totally affordable thats the amount I was looking to spend.23:07
cantstanyaUbuntu for Android != Ubuntu Touch23:07
bactcantstanya: we are aware23:07
daniel31we are just discussing the differences :-)23:07
cantstanyahrm23:08
cantstanyaHas the reverse been attempted by anyone?23:08
bactdaniel31: https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_5_black_32gb23:08
cantstanyaDalvik on Ubuntu Touch?23:08
daniel31thanks bact :-)23:08
bactcantstanya: sailfish os licenses myriad's alien dalvik23:09
cantstanyaOr is that being highly discouraged due to a desire for more applications native to the platform?23:10
daniel31ouch.. they're £339 from google in my country.. that's close to 600USD. £270 on ebay tho.23:10
cantstanyabact: okay, but no efforts on ubuntu-touch?23:10
cantstanyaisn't alien dalvik proprietary?23:10
cantstanyaor am I mistaken23:10
bactcantstanya: which is why I said licenses23:11
cantstanyait could be dual licensed23:11
cantstanyaand sailfish just lazy23:11
bactbut it shows its possible, if canonical wanted to reproduce the functionality I'm sure it's within their capability, but like you said.. its a matter of whether they'd want to23:11
cantstanyaI didn't wanna assume23:11
cantstanyamm23:12
cantstanyaokay23:12
cantstanyaso no known current efforts basically23:12
cantstanyammm23:12
bactwhy don't you ask them tomorrow23:13
cantstanyawhere?23:13
bacthere23:13
cantstanyawell I don't just mean canonical/the official Ubuntu-touch team, but other independent people testing out/working with Ubuntu-touch23:13
cantstanyain fact, I'd expect more of the latter possibly toying with the idea23:14
cantstanyamaybe I should search around to see if anyone's been bored enough to attempt to get this going23:15
daniel31Am I right in thinking a big problem with either u4a or ubuntu touch on current generation devices is not being able to have USB and video out over the same port?23:20
cantstanyawhat about slimport23:20
bactcantstanya: I think he means, while the port is supplying video it won't be able to act as an ordinary usb port23:22
daniel31exactly23:22
bactin one video there is a dev using the devices screen as a trackpad23:23
bactand you could use bluetooth mice/keyboards23:23
cantstanyaisn't there a hub like thing for it23:23
daniel31basicly I am trying to shop around to buy my way into the ubuntu edge experience because I dont want to have to upgrade my phone in 6 months when the first ubuntu touch phones start coming out..23:23
daniel31bact: bluetooth, that's a good point..23:24
daniel31I need to buy a new phone now, but I want it to be future-proofed with regards to ubuntu touch or (better with current generation) u4a23:26
daniel31is this a hopeless endevour?23:26
bactI think the nexus 5 is a safe bet23:26
daniel31yeah, I think you might be right abotu that bact..23:26
daniel31I just keep on getting distracted by silly things like this: http://www.asus.com/Tablets_Mobile/PadFone_Infinity/. Normally I would never consider it. but with ubuntu touch right around the corner..23:27
bactubuntu touch is hardly around the corner23:27
daniel31you reckon? I thought the first shipping devices were a few months away..23:27
bactpeople come in here all the time asking for desktop mode etas and they get back.. like ubuntu 1623:28
bactbecause they want to use unity8 or something23:28
bactI'm not sure23:28
daniel31I see23:28
bactI think it's far off23:29
daniel31I guess one reason people think its closer than that is because shuttleworth was demoing desktop mode u4a (which many people including me would settle with for now) back in november..23:30
bactbut then edge never happened23:31
daniel31le sigh23:31
daniel31he did seem to imply the only thing holding it back was phone specs..23:31
daniel31well thanks for your help bact, you've been most enlightening. I was hoping to get a cheapo chinese android but I guess that may not be an option just now.23:36
bactugh23:37
bactdefinitely don't do that23:37
bactthose devices with the mediatek chips never get updated versions of android23:37
daniel31yeah and at the very least if I cant go ubuntu on it I would want cyanogen..23:38
bactI mean, go for a oppo device for sure23:38
bactI think even meizu is partnering with canonical23:38
daniel31the problem with oppo is their latest model is just too damn big. I'm not aware they do smaller ones..?23:38
bactI believe their parent company owns a sort of oppo spinoff which just launched a 'one plus one' phone23:39
bactthat might be smaller23:39
daniel31haha yeah you're right. I entered into oneplus' competition last week (you cant purchase them at retail yet). something about smashing your current phone in interesting ways. I lawfully purchased an iphone on ebay several years ago and have been a loyal and faithful apple user since then. then out of the blue apple decided to remotely lock the phone. I call that vandlism personally. there are many ways I would smash it right now. unfortunately I dont t23:41
bactI found that competition quite disgusting actually23:42
daniel31oh23:42
bactit's so dangerous to tell consumers to actualy crush their phones23:42
bactthe batteries could explode23:42
daniel31yes, there is that aspect true..23:42
bactplus, so wasteful23:42
daniel31yes, that too23:42
bactiic I think they backtracked on the smashing part23:43
bact*iirc23:43
daniel31heh23:43
bactthey want you to donate them to medic mobile instead23:44
daniel31I see. Well I have a few mobiles lying around I can donate to them which would be more use than the old iphone thats for sure..23:45
bactI think its likely we'll see a meizu ubuntu touch phone soon23:45
daniel31do u know how soon?23:45
bactthey were demoing it in february23:46
bacthttp://www.cnet.com/uk/products/meizu-mx3-ubuntu-edition/23:47
daniel31thanks23:48
daniel31and you dont reckon it'll have desktop mode when its shipping?23:49
bactwho knows23:49
daniel31heh23:51
daniel31well I still am not much closer to deciding because for £150 I can get a high-specced rugged android but with not much chance I guess of cyanogenmod and even less chance of u4a/ubuntu touch :-S23:53
bactwhich phone is that?23:53
daniel31like 100 of them: http://www.chinavasion.com/search?q=rugged23:54
daniel31to be honest atm I am really undecided between that, waiting a bit as you say for the first ubuntu touches, or getting a nexus.. really could go either way..23:54
bact:/23:55
bactAll I can say is.. don't ever ever ever buy a mediatek23:55
daniel31thanks I'll keep that in mind lol23:56
bactand those are mediateks23:56
daniel31are they? ah.23:56
daniel31all?23:56
bactyou could probably get a second half nexus 4 for under £15023:57
bactthe first one I looked at didn't list the cpu but the £150 one listed MTK6577 which is a mediatek soc23:57
bacts/half/hand23:57
daniel31price isnt nessesarily an issue. I'm all about the bargain, but I am also happy to plunk down for a nexus 5 if I'll be looking at hopefully running desktop mode ubuntu off of it.. like an investment in my next desktop lol23:58
daniel31lol I figured23:58
bactwell, sure it may be cheap now, but 6 months down the line you'll maybe be wanting the next shiny version of android23:58
bactthe nexus 5 is high spec'd enough to last you a long while23:59
daniel31makes sense, yeah. if I dont break it before then. this is one problem with shuttleworth's convergent vision :-P23:59
