mhall119popey: do you have newer click tools than I do?  I ran click-run-check on my package and it didn't complain about UbuntuWebView 0.112:54
popeymhall119: i use click tools from trunk13:26
niftynateSO13:55
niftynateI am curious.13:55
niftynateI might toss out my old 1GHz single core piece of junk and grab a more modern android phone. Naturally I'll hack it as much as I can. I'm intrigued by Ubuntu touch. What is the graphical environment? Is it possible to install GCC and python/gtk libraries? Could one feasibly compile unsupported graphical programs on it?13:56
=== gnu is now known as Guest76397
popeyniftynate: yes and no14:11
popeyniftynate: you can certainly use tools like gcc and python, but anything that needs X won't work out of the box14:12
popeywe don't ship x14:12
niftynateI was wondering what the graphical environment was. I'm guessing it's something akin to Android's stuff?14:17
popeywe use unity8 on mir14:17
niftynateMIR. I see14:18
niftynatehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mir/Spec#Toolkit_Integration_.26_Legacy_X_Application_Support14:18
niftynateIs this bit realized yet? Does anyone know?14:18
niftynateObviously to run inside of MIR the X will have to be modified and virtualized somehow. I dunno if that's ready yet.14:19
popeypass14:19
niftynateFreedom to compile and use legacy applications would be a big part of my attraction, but command-line applications are also comfortable. Truthfully, I can't name a lot of GUI-centric apps I'd need particularly. Mainly hexchat. :P14:20
niftynatepopey: giving up on me so quickly?14:20
popeyI'm playing games ☻14:21
popeyirc is distracting me ☻14:21
niftynateYou've got an irssi script that auto-converts emoticons to unicode faces? Bizarre.14:22
popeyI do14:23
niftynateI guess xmir is something I need to research more.14:24
niftynateSOUNDS ready but I'll need to see documentation.14:24
popeyi think xmir is on hold for now, and all work is on mir14:26
niftynateThat statement hurts my head a little14:28
niftynateWell, barring greater legacy X support, I have now lost some interest in Ubuntu Touch.14:29
niftynateI know the support is coming, but as I stand it's an investment I have to be careful about.14:29
niftynateWho can tell me how the android app support is going?14:32
Tassadarubuntu touch is not supposed to support android apps14:33
popeywe certainly have no current plans to support android apps natively14:34
niftynate"support" these days seems to refer to how well people involved in the project will approve the idea.14:34
popeyif you want it in black and white.14:34
popeyyou can't run android apps on ubuntu touch14:34
popeyin the same way you can't run ios apps on android14:35
dobeywhy would you want to run tradiitonal apps on a phone anyway? they are hardly built for it14:36
dobeydo you want a phone or a laptop?14:37
popeyi met a guy at my LUG and when I gave a demo of ubuntu phone his first question was "can it run emacs?"14:38
dobeywell it can, but the terminal app isn't really up to the keyboard combos one uses in emacs14:39
* dobey wonders if there's a mir backend in upstream emacs yet14:39
dobeybut can != should14:40
dobeyanyway, back to weekend14:42
mhall119popey: 0.9.6.1 fails because of using Oxide UbuntuWebView, looks like a permission issue, what do I need to add to my apparmor manifest?15:22

niftynateI plan to live my 90s tv-punk-hacker dream and get a 5"+ handheld computer (phone) and one of these: http://images.gizmag.com/hero/thanko-folding-usb-keyboard.jpg15:29
niftynateI can get by with Android until the right software comes along. Thanks for your support. I'll still be watching Ubuntu Touch closely. Dalvik virtualization layers can't be that hard to do...15:30
t1mpniftynate: you should be able to compile any qt5-based apps on ubuntu touch15:32
t1mpand run even ;)15:32
t1mpuhm.. wait is it true what I'm saying? not sure about qtwidgets.. but newer apps often use qtquick anyway15:33
popeymhall119: pass15:52
Steve[cloud]anyone have any ideas as to how to resolve this reboot loop im in on a N10?16:02
MOUDHey all16:42
a_muva__if I: system-image-cli -n, I get: Upgrade path is 19:20, but I can not upgrade (system-image-cli)16:43
popeya_muva__: yeah, wait till the next image, tomorrow16:59
popeyor indeed monday16:59
a_muva__popey: OK thank you.17:11
