[00:36] hi all [00:37] anyone here deep enough in understanding ubuntu touch, and doesn't mind telling what is left to be done in the whole system? [00:37] I have a university project which must include the future plans for ubuntu touch [00:39] petri4kov: Hm, what do you mean? [00:39] well [00:39] I'm not really sure myself [00:40] but I must write about what is to happen with ubuntu touch in the future [00:40] in developer point of view [00:40] let's say for example, implement that or this [00:42] Well, a bunch of stuff is on blueprints.launchpad.net. [00:43] And there's stuff like the core-apps stuff on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/CoreApps [00:44] well [00:44] core apps is just another section of the project [00:44] this one is for future development plans [00:45] i looked over the stuff at launchpad [00:46] seems like a really big bunch of stuff [00:46] :D [00:47] I gave it deeper look now [00:47] It seems like it will do a part of the job [00:47] :) [00:58] petri4kov, another suggestion would be to hang out in #ubuntu-touch-meeting on fridays [00:58] there are a series of meetings on each of the core apps [00:59] to discuss status [00:59] slangasek: uploaded a new qtubuntu-gles and we also should have the remaining bins in new as well [01:00] petri4kov, i don't have the full schedule, but i know the trojita developers meet at 1300 UTC tomorrow [01:00] kenvandine, thanks that would be really helpful, but unforutnately I have to pass the paper on saturday [01:00] :D [01:00] petri4kov, so you could just watch what they discuss to get an idea of what still needs to be done [01:00] ok [01:00] as always in the last minute [01:01] it a pretty broad topic to get a handle on quickly [01:01] #ubuntu-touch is presumably logged? [01:01] yeah [01:01] oh right [01:01] you could read the logs for last weeks meetings [01:02] the meetings are in #ubuntu-touch-meeting [01:02] for now I need to generalize what needs to be done [01:02] like I can think of not draining battery power so qiuckly [01:02] I will give those log a shot [01:02] *logs [01:52] Hi, I'm trying to boot my phone into the bootloader, but for some reason it does not want to do that. [01:52] does anyone of you know what might be causing this?

Is that something which should be in there, or should be in-app? [07:50] popey, that’s a good question. I don’t know. [07:51] Normally I’d say that’s a per-app setting. But for sounds in particular it may be useful to see them listed together, so that you can (for example) make sure you aren’t using the same sound effect for two unrelated things. [07:52] on iOS it's all in one place - "Sounds" for baked in apps. [07:53] but each app also has its own settings. [08:02] Good morning all; happy Friday, and happy Lost Sock Memorial Day! :-D === tetris4_ is now known as tetris4 [08:24] loicm: hi! I updated https://code.launchpad.net/~mardy/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/lp1296728/+merge/218617 === oSoMoN_ is now known as oSoMoN [09:10] hi [09:11] hello katie [09:11] nice everybody is very talkative here [09:15] Elleo, because the other branches are waiting for approval I have decide to request a silo just with the qml change, as soon as it is created and tested I'll let you know [09:30] mandel: okay, thanks [09:35] mpt: the reason I ask is that we're currently using the ringtone, which is confusing, can nik90 (clock dev) get guidance on where the setting should go? [09:37] is it actually the ringtone ? i thought it is "a ringtone" not even from the set of rigtones from the phone === chriadam is now known as chriadam|away [09:45] ogra_: I thought the alarm ringtone was the same as when receiving a call, no? [09:45] ogra_: atm we are discussing with mpt where the setting to change the alarm "sound" should go..in the settings app or the clock app [09:46] well, it surely isnt the same for me but i think my system isnt default anymore [09:47] popey, nik90: I suggest putting it in the clock app for now. But remember, where the setting should go is a different issue from the default being confusing. [09:47] mpt: agreed they are two different issues [09:48] mpt: should each alarm be given the ability to choose their ringtone or do we go with one sound for all alarms? [09:49] nik90, a separate sound for each alarm would be useful. The alarm to wake me up may be more strident than the alarm reminding me to take my painkillers. :) [09:49] nik90, btw, a way to make the alarm go off *before* the actual appointment time wuld be very helpful too [09:49] * ogra_ perfers to be notified 5min before a meeting starts [09:49] mpt: ok [09:50] ogra_: hmm I think that should be a calendar app feature and not the clock..to provide a way to remind about an appointment few minutes before [09:50] ogra_: I don't think you would want alarms to do that [09:50] oh, right, i thought you talk about calendar [09:50] clock [09:51] yeah, sorry [09:51] np [09:51] alarms are perfectly fine when they are on time :) [09:51] ogra_: :) I would be angry if my alarms woke me up 15 minutes earlier than the intended time [09:51] hehe [09:52] popey: ok so that is settled..I will add the ability to set the alarm sound in the "add alarm page"...if the user doesn't choose anything it will default to the system ringtone. [09:53] great [09:54] hmm [09:54] i cant find any tone that even matches what i hear on alarms [09:54] (or calendar notifications) [09:55] i wonder where that tune even comes from ... it surely isnt in the list to select from [09:56] ogra_: You will have to ask charles then where he chose that sound then :) [09:56] probably someting some Qt module ships or so [09:58] nik90: src/snap.cpp:#define ALARM_SOUND_FILENAME "/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/phone-incoming-call.ogg" [09:58] hard wired in indicator-datetime [09:58] hmm, why is that sound not in the list [09:58] nik90: so maybe file a bug in clock with a task on i-d [09:58] as that will need changing [09:58] (not that i'm eager to use that awful sound though) [09:59] ogra_: If I vaguely remember, that's not the folder the settings app displays for the list of ringtones [09:59] yeah [09:59] popey: ok..will create a bug [09:59] nice one [09:59] well, we shouldnt ship it if you cant use it [09:59] just wastes space [10:03] the fact that it's not used by the settings doesn't mean that the package is useless [10:03] we need to check if any of the sounds shipped in the binary is used by code we run [10:04] indeed [10:19] seb128: was it you or someone else who did the sound listing in the UI? Just asking so that I could follow a similar approach in the clock app. [10:20] nik90, me [10:20] seb128: is it possible to list the files using pure QML? Or do I need to add a C++ plugin? [10:21] nik90, no need of cpp iirc [10:23] seb128: ok..I will be most likely listing the ringtones in an option selector using http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qml-folderlistmodel.html [10:23] right [10:24] nik90, but ringtones might not be what you want to list [10:24] yeah, notification sounds rather [10:25] seb128: true..I need to first look at all the sound folders available and choose the correct one [10:25] well, notifications are not great either [10:25] they are the messages' sound [10:25] usually quite short, not mean to loop either [10:25] ideally we would get some alarm sounds [10:25] true [10:26] seb128: where can I find the sound folders? On my trusty machine, I went to /usr/share/sounds [10:26] seb128: however I cannot findn the phone ringtones there [10:26] seb128: basically I need to show the same sounds folder that is present on the phone and the desktop [10:27] nik90, that's the correct folder [10:27] seb128: otherwise the clock app wont work on the desktop [10:27] well, expect it has subdirs [10:27] it has ubuntu, alsa, freedesktop [10:27] the ubuntu folder has only the folder stereo [10:28] inside which are the ringtones that are not shown on the phone [10:35] nik90, right, stereo is the old desktop set of sounds [10:35] nik90, i see a ringtones and a notifications folder [10:35] notification/ringtone are the new ones we got for touch [10:35] next to "stereo" [10:35] ogra_, those are not on desktop atm [10:36] ah, right [10:36] but we can install ubuntu-touch-sounds on the desktop iso [10:36] seb128, ogra_: Is there a package that I can add as a dependency to the clock app to have the phone ringtones installed on the desktop as well? [10:36] ^ [10:37] seb128: ok..I think that's the best solution [10:37] well, "best" [10:37] those sounds are still not good ones for alarms [10:37] well, and make someone add an alarms dir to that package too ;) [10:37] for now* [10:37] I don't want a ringtone or a sms sound to wake up [10:38] ogra_: yes...I will request popey to talk to the design team for that [10:38] +1 [10:38] we should also talk to mpt about getting a design to import custom sounds [10:38] ++ [10:38] I know kenvandine said he wanted to look at that [10:38] + [10:38] we can import through the content-hub, we just need a design for the workflow [10:38] and we need some click package design so devs can provide "soundtheme" packages too [10:39] ooh I get to play with content-hub then..awesome [10:39] and wallpaper collections :) [10:39] (or rather lockscreen collectios since you cant change the wallapaer anymore) [10:39] speaking of which, we need to update the settings [10:40] we are sure than the ability to customize the bg is not coming back? [10:40] yeah :( [10:40] Laney emailed Mark about it, but no news since [10:40] i think you will still be able [10:40] but it only will shine through in the small stripe between header and app content [10:40] pretty useless imho [10:40] ah :( [10:40] :/ [10:40] (at least that is what i was told when i asked) [10:41] haha [10:41] it would be nice to be able to have the bg of the lenses as an image [10:41] it would have been nice to have a blurred user background shown in the dash..but too bad [10:41] I don't think it's the end of the matter [10:41] well, ask design, i'm probably not up to date with that [10:41] but it came up in my ranting thread about the back button placement on the ml [10:41] design keep changing their mind on lot of topics [10:41] so let's see [10:42] * ogra_ wishes theyy would change it for the back button :P ) [10:42] lol [10:42] I talked to Rick about it and he said it'd be easier to resolve that in person so we can raise it at the sprint [10:42] fistfights ! [10:42] k [10:42] Pillow fights! [10:42] (with fluffy gloves indeed) [10:43] the pillow ideas seems a better one ;-) [10:43] less damage you think ? [10:43] :) [10:43] well, depends who is on the other side :p [10:43] haha, yeah [10:49] dbarth, did you see my last comment on bug 1307533 ?

[10:53] ya [10:57] dbarth, my understanding is that as long as we support the 13.10 framework cordova-2.8 must stay (or we need to drop the framework support from the image alongside) ... at least thats how i understood people like lool and cjwatson when this was discussed === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk === tetris4_ is now known as tetris4 [11:14] ogra_: technically that's corect, ie (codova 2.8 was part of 13.10) [11:14] right, so technically we guarantee that apps built on 13.10 still work [11:14] (i personally think we should drop the ancient framework) [11:15] (especially since Qt 5.2 will make using it in native apps impossible too) [11:15] ogra_: in practice there are 3 apps that linked (without knowing) with cordova [11:15] right, but i think we need to stick to our promises or adjust for reality [11:16] either is fine [11:16] lool, ^^^ [11:17] (though i personally own a few webapps that only work with webkit ... i wouldnt want to drop them if we drop 13.10 ... but they wont work with oxide ) [11:18] they wont? [11:18] oSoMoN, did you notice that the text in the URL bar of the browser is not centered anymoe ? [11:18] dbarth, nope [11:18] ogra_: do you bugs for that? [11:19] they are games and the website they are on behaves weird when it detects aa proper browser ... not an issue on our side ... it tries to bomb you with ads that break the game [11:20] w00t [11:20] err.. ignore me [11:20] * ogra_ tries hard ...

[11:24] mardy: have you also tried with an app using 2 windows (QQuickViews)? IIRC telephony-app does that [11:25] ogra_, you mean vertically centered, right? [11:25] loicm: I didn't try the latest changes on the phone, I'll do it now [11:26] oSoMoN, yeah [11:26] ogra_, you’re right, good catch, I hadn’t noticed [11:26] ogra_, mind filing a bug?

[12:35] that lessens the priority of it, although we still support qtmultimedia for apps and probably would need to get rid of GStreamer 0.10 === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch [12:39] Mirv, my understanding is we access media hub via qtmultimedia jhodapp? [12:40] Mirv, it is in codereview on qt [12:40] pmcgowan, we do, but just the QML interface classes [12:41] jhodapp, got it [12:42] Mirv, we no longer use any of their backends having to do with gstreamer, merely high level control interfaces which call into qtubuntu-media (this is what calls into media-hub) [12:42] jhodapp: right, good to know. so there's wip/gstreamer-1.0 based on the stuff you did earlier, but it did not see much work for some time [12:43] but latest work is from 3 weeks ago https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,83406 so it's possible the branch could be eventually merged for Qt 5.4 [12:43] right exactly, I have no idea why it's not a high priority other than there's only one person paid by Digia to work on QtMultimedia [12:44] that probably goes a long way, plus that GStreamer is only used on Linux and their biggest paying customers are probably app devs on other platforms [12:44] Mirv, yes that's definitely part of it, the QtMultimedia developer has mostly been focusing on Windows Mobile lately [12:44] (well I don't really know but the combined effect is probably that it's not a nr. 1 priority) [12:45] Mirv, indeed [12:45] well, we need to mostly revisit it in case foundations teams want to get rid of GStreamer 0.10 for 14.10, which at this rate won't happen [12:45] Mirv, it wouldn't be that much more work to finish that WIP branch off...I wish someone could get some time to do it [12:46] Mirv, we really shouldn't be using GStreamer 0.10 anymore...it's very antiquated === randomcpp_ is now known as gcollura_ [12:47] anyway, brb === jhodapp is now known as jhodapp|brb [12:49] first bugs tagged 'qt5.3' filed, thanks to some quick/dirty RC builds I now have for the first modules. a good way to end a week. === gnu is now known as Guest16718 [12:51] Mirv, hey, you have 5.3 starting?

[12:53] ogra_, thats a good question [12:53] I was just reviewing the 5.3 release notes [12:53] * ogra_ guesses we should first get finished what we have before starting massively big transitions [12:53] I could see skipping 5.3 [12:53] in the end, when all is ready, it comes down to whether dogfooders claim 5.2 or 5.3 a better experience [12:54] Mirv, yes, we want to do this process for sure, glad to see the plan [12:54] Mirv, which sprint week are you attending? [12:54] pmcgowan: I was now moved to the first one [12:54] well, we wont have the time to fix the RTM images anymore if it comes to late and ships any bugs [12:54] Mirv, oh good, [12:54] ogra_, agreed [12:55] Mirv, I have an item on the agenda [12:57] sergiusens, how about seeding nuntium ?

[13:45] charles: or is the default sound (current) hardcoded to be used for all alarms? === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g [13:46] nik90, right now it's hardcoded, is there actually a way to set the sound in the clock app?

[13:59] ogra_, good question [13:59] mpt: ^ [14:00] * ogra_ guesses everything is better than what we have now ...

I tried going back to an old build on trusty that still had it, but I can't upgrade libhybris without breaking things...how hard would it be to downgrade Qt or do you have any other ideas? [14:29] charles: I like the alarm-clock-elapsed.oga for now [14:29] Mirv, ping [14:36] mzanetti, when will reminders app be able to use a real evernote account?

[14:41] mzanetti: just scanning random codes I find to see where they point [14:41] ah ok :) [14:41] stores have them on stickers to point to their websites, etc [14:42] ah ok [14:42] also, summit.ubuntu.com has them to load the schedule on your phone [14:42] right... its bus stops around here [14:42] but ever since I do home office I don't use the bus that often any more [14:42] I remember hunting some geocaches which required qr code scanning [14:42] dednick: sound indicator builds in silo 13 [14:43] oh, we need a geocaching app [14:44] using rickspencer3's Mapping tutorials [14:49] yeah.. we really do need a geocaching app... but the mapping is the easiest part there [14:51] mzanetti: you have OSMTouch surely you just need co-ordinates then :) [14:52] davmor2: nah... for a proper app lots of other stuff is required. a coordinate calculation helper, some integrated note taking, support for multi-caches and lots more [14:52] showing hints from the various sites etc etc [14:54] that's a really good one: http://n9-apps.com/agtl [14:54] iirc its python + qml. [14:54] can we run that by now? [14:58] mzanetti: that would be neat to port [14:58] popey: yeah, I wanted to do that already a while ago, but we couldn't run python on the phone back then [14:58] not sure we can now [14:58] python is installed.. [14:58] i dont think apparmor lets you execute it [14:59] i dont think we ever said you cant run python, just that we discourage its use for things like daemons [14:59] wat [14:59] also we dont expose compass data anywhere in QML yet i think [14:59] but actually it should be quite straight forward to reimplement that stuff with Qt/C++ === vying is now known as Guest35814 [14:59] ogra_: we do have the api. not sure we get any data out of it yet [14:59] you would have to ship your own python in the click [14:59] (interpreter and bindings that is) [15:00] bein very inexperienced with python I guess I'd be faster to copy it with Qt [15:00] if you are experienced in Qt yeah ... :) [15:00] I am somewhat I'd say, yes [15:01] so yeah... that should be on my todo [15:01] :) [15:01] heh [15:01] sigh [15:01] again no meeting notification [15:01] i switched on the phone screen, it showed 16:58 ... [15:01] plars: Just slurping down the necessary files now so that I can try a local build (might as well start now, it probably won't be finished downloading by the time I finish for the day) [15:01] and immediately jumped to 17:01 [15:01] cjwatson: thanks a lot! [15:02] ogra_: I tried the alarm clock yesterday... I slept in [15:02] so it missed the mark to do the notification at 17:00 [15:02] yeah something is wonky with the clock [15:02] or with Qt [15:06] dpm, popey: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clock-app/+bug/1297357/comments/8 [15:06] Ubuntu bug 1297357 in Ubuntu Clock App "Click App Preview of the core-apps are of low quality" [Low,Confirmed] [15:07] ogra_: that's not the Clock app then, it's the datetime indicator, the clock isn't running when the screen is off [15:07] the indicator is what triggers alarms, not hte app [15:07] mhall119, well, the clock :) not the clock-app ... [15:08] could even be the system clock that gets halted [15:08] dobey, I'd recommend opening another one. Right now we're putting the translations in the .mo files for the core apps, and on that bug what's left to be done only is to update the screenshots and descriptions of the apps in the store, which I now have the permissions for [15:09] mhall119, i think tvoss' hw-alarms api will at least make sure we get proper time for the alarms [15:09] ogra_: ah, ok, misunderstood [15:09] ogra_: there definitely seems to be something seriously wrong with the system clock being halted, at least on my phone === gnu is now known as Guest80247 [15:09] dobey, well, it is fine to halt the visible clock to save battery while it is invisible ... but the alarms need to still get the correct time on the low level [15:10] dpm: are the descriptions for those apps updated in the .desktop files? [15:10] ogra_: yeah, but when i install a new image, my phone shouldn't say it's february 1970 when i reboot [15:10] dobey, what is the concrete issue you are seeing? [15:10] dobey, I think right now we only have good app names in the .desktop files. I think some of them don't even have descriptions [15:11] dpm: i think Comment= in the .desktop needs to match the description on the store [15:11] dpm: also the description in the manifest.json should be the same [15:12] tvoss: when i unlock my phone, the time is sometimes way off, and it takes several seconds at least, for the time to update [15:12] dobey, yeah, I wasn't too sure of which should correspond to which. I created https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/AppMetadataTranslations as an attempt to have an overview and find out [15:12] dobey, is that on a recent image? the delayed update was mostly due to the blocked rendering loop in qt apps [15:12] tvoss, thats on 18 for me [15:12]
