kevdog114Hello everyone, I'm new to all of this... Is Ubuntu for Android still in development? or is it called Ubuntu for Devices, or Ubuntu Touch? I am a little confused02:04
kevdog114Is Ubuntu Touch "safe" to use without fear of messing up my phone?02:11
sarnoldkevdog114: as I understood ubuntu for android (running ubuntu as an "application" on an android system), it's dead... ubuntu touch is very nearly 100% 'native ubuntu' on hardware itself02:11
sarnoldkevdog114: (at least with e.g. the nexus4 images, I think they start with an android kernel and then start fiddling with it)02:12
sarnoldkevdog114: .. when we get Real Hardware later this year, I don't know if it'll start with an android kernel or not.02:12
sarnoldkevdog114: I haven't heard of anyone messing up their phone to the point of not being able to get android back; the two dozen ubuntu images I've used on my nexus 4 all more or less worked okay02:13
kevdog114sarnold: Thanks for the info. Would you recommend installing Ubuntu Touch on my personal phone over Android (as I understand that's how it works)? or is it meant for developers at this point?02:13
sarnoldkevdog114: there are people who use ubuntu touch as their only cell phone, but it's probably still best considered for developers or strong enthusiasts02:14
sarnoldkevdog114: I'm not sure if the emergency dialer works yet, for example :)02:14
nhaines"Ubuntu for Android" was a customization option for Android phone OEMs that was basically working, but no OEM picked it up.02:14
kevdog114sarnold: Alright, that's kind of what I thought. you mentioned something about later this year? is it becoming more 'consumer ready'?02:14
sarnoldkevdog114: yes, it's making pretty impressive gains each week :)02:15
nhainesUbuntu for phones is just called "Ubuntu" and is a standalone operating system that doesn't have anything to do with Android other than it does run the Android kernel in a container after Ubuntu boots--only so that Android hardware drivers can be reused if desired.02:15
nhainesYou can install Ubuntu on a Nexus 4, 7, 10, for development purposes.  The Nexus 5 has some brilliant (but not perfect) community support too.02:16
nhainesThe only thing meant for non-developers are the Ubuntu phones being sold later this year by Meizu and BQ Readers.02:16
kevdog114sarnold, nhaines: that is pretty exciting! If I were to try to plan for the future, if I am getting a new phone soon, is there one that would maybe be "better" supported if I were to install it once it becomes "consumer ready"?02:17
sarnoldkevdog114: in that case you may wish to wait for the bq or the meizu phones when they ship02:17
nhainesIf you are getting a new phone soon, the only one that's going to have any kind of guarantee is the Meizu or BQ Ubuntu phones.02:17
nhainesExample: Nexus 4 is the "reference" phone but they haven't been sold for over a year now.  It's the only one supported.02:18
sarnoldkevdog114: (I sort of assume my nexus 4 won't be supported once we have meizu or bq devices, but I'll be sad about that...)02:18
nhainesCanonical engineering claimed they'd start working on Nexus 5 support in June, but now say they never said any such thing.02:18
nhainessarnold: I assume that too.  Canonical has said otherwise but I don't believe them.02:18
kevdog114Alright, I appreciate the help! So the way it sounds, a particular phone model has to have its own special build?02:19
nhainesYeah, due to the way ARM processors boot, unfortunately.  :)02:19
sarnoldyeah :(02:20
nhainesOn the bright side, if you grab a Nexus 4 or Nexus 5, you can install MultiROM Manager and dual-boot.  :)02:20
sarnoldyeah, that's the bright side of the nexus 4; once ubuntu drops support, it can become an android phone again02:20
kevdog114Alright, well that's too bad about needing a specific build...02:20
nhainesYup.  But phones are coming soon.02:21
sarnoldtime to walk the dog :) have fun02:21
nhainesAnd the development branches are pretty nifty and can almost be used for every day stuff.  But the retail builds are coming up quick and they'll be polished for sure.  :)02:21
kevdog114Thanks for the help sarnold!02:21
nhainesIt's all based on Ubuntu 14.10.02:21
kevdog114So if I were to install one of the development branches on a phone, is that difficult?02:22
nhainesIt's fairly trivial.02:22
kevdog114And really the only requirement is that I need to get the right build for the phone I have?02:23
nhainesYup.  So the trick is, only the Nexus devices have recent working builds as far as I know.  :)02:24
nhaines!devices02:24
ubot5You can find the full list of devices, official images, community images, and works in progress at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices02:24
nhainesOn account of it's kind of a bit of hard work to get everything running, and a lot of volunteers got so far and got bored or frustrated.02:24
kevdog114Oh okay, I think I am starting to understand all of this a little better.02:25
kevdog114nhaines: I really appreciate your help!02:25
nhainesThank you.  It was my pleasure.  :)02:25
nhainesYou can always use the emulator, too, if you just want to play with it a bit.02:26
nhaineshttp://developer.ubuntu.com/apps/sdk/tutorials/using-the-ubuntu-emulator/02:26
kevdog114I was thinking of that. I have been using Ubuntu for several years now, and I was excited to try it out on a phone, but it sounds like the best option right now is to wait a little bit02:26

nhainesHow's your morning so far?07:19
dholbachnhaines, thanks a lot - going well :)07:28
dholbachcan anyone have a look at https://code.launchpad.net/~canonical-platform-qa/messaging-app/qmltests1/+merge/227661? what does it need to get landed?07:28
nhainesdholbach: good to hear!  I told a friend's kid a joke in German over the phone yesterday and he still understood it and laughed, so I feel accomplished.  :)07:37
dholbachwow - well done! what was the joke?07:37
nhaines„Du, Vati“, sagt der Vierjährige, „ich möchte heiraten.“07:37
nhaines„So, wen denn?“07:37
nhaines„Die Oma.“07:37
nhaines„Aber du kannst doch nicht meine Mutter heiraten.“07:37
nhaines„Warum denn nicht? Du hast doch auch meine Mutter geheiratet.“07:37
dholbachhaha, very good :)07:37
nhainesI bought him a little joke book for a dollar at the used book store, and I'm trying to practice my German until I visit him again to give it to him.  It was one of the few I can actually understand.07:38
nhainesHumor in foreign languages is hard.  :)07:38
Rienzilladoh07:38
dholbachit is :)07:40
nhainesIt was a little discouraging, I'll be like "Okay, I know each of these words, but..."  >_>07:41
nhainesBut my little friend is twice the age and flew to Germany today to see his Oma again, so it seemed like the right one to tell.  :)07:42
nhainesI wish I knew anything about power management.  I'd love to find out why my N5's backlight doesn't turn off when the screen sleeps.  Used to work.  But I also didn't note down when it started, so I can't bisect.07:42

mandelogra_, can I ask you for a very simple cpp review -> https://code.launchpad.net/~mandel/ubuntu-download-manager/better-error-logging/+merge/22754409:07
mandelogra_, it is adding a method to print better errors, nothing serious but it is something I'd like to land before rtm09:08
ogra_mandel, but that isnt logging by default all the time, is it ?09:11
ogra_(we try to reduce the disk writes due to logging atm)09:11
mandelogra_, it just adds the print when there is an error, so instead of adding a error 202 it says Network Error: not connection09:11
mandelogra_, will add more characters but it will not write more times than needed09:12
ogra_right, i see09:12
ogra_approved and top approved09:13
mandelogra_, \o/09:14
mandelogra_, thx,  it will make sergios and my life better when debugging :)09:14

bzoltanmvo_:  how to uncomit an empty change?09:43
ogra_with a lot of imagination ?09:48
mvo_bzoltan: heh, a good point09:52
mvo_bzoltan: I think you can use "bzr uncommit -r revision-number"09:53
bzoltanogra_: that one I have :) and nasty it is09:54
ogra_lol09:54
mvo_too much information ;)09:54
bzoltanmvo_: I did `bzr uncommit -r 445` and as expected the bzr status shows no change. So the push returns "No new revisions or tags to push."09:56
mvo_bzoltan: hm, bzr push --overwrite ?09:57
ogra_you might need --overwrite09:57
mardytvoss: that sounds good, thanks10:02
bzoltanmvo_: ogra_: Yeee, I made it :) the little Hungarian is happy now10:03
ogra_:D10:03
dpmpitti, could we update the touch language packs? I've not checked myself, but translators have told me they haven't been updated since the first upload? We've got about 10 new languages over 70%, and it'd be good to get all those new translations in10:08
pittidpm: sure10:09
mvo_:)10:09
dpmpitti, thanks. Do you need me to file a bug somewhere?10:09
pittidpm: it would be nice to have a new full export, but I can cobble one together from teh last base and delta10:09
pittidpm: ah no, that wouldn't work well with deltas10:10
pittidpm: would Mon/Tue be enough?10:10
dpmpitti, I think so10:10
pittijudging by the dates on https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/utopic/+language-packs we ought to get an export on Tuesday10:10
dpmpitti, I'll make that a full export in any case10:11
pittidpm: already requested10:11
dpm\o/10:11
pittidpm: delta langpacks currenlty don't work with --threshold, as when you build a delta you don't have a meaningful measurement; but I have an idea how to handle that10:12
pittidpm: so I can sort that out this afternoon or on Monday10:12
dpmok10:12
bzoltanmvo_: I have a possible silly if not disturbingly insane question. How can I make a static rootfs and turn it to be a valid schroot? So I do not want to  install the packages to the chroot when it is created. I just want to dump over a directory structure.10:21
mvo_bzoltan: I'm not sure I get 100% what you ask, but you can simply unpack/copy something into /var/lib/schroot/chroots/, there is no need to build that chroot from packages (well, without packages some stuff won't work of course, but that is a different matter :)10:23
bzoltanmvo_:  the idea is to `apt-get install ubuntu-sdk-framework-proposed-1410` a static image what provides that sysroot instead of click create it10:27
mardytvoss: do you happen to have a basic implementation of a trusted helper using the trust-store, which I could use for testing?10:39
mandelogra_, do we have awk in the phone?10:40
tvossmardy, you are asking at the right point in time :) let me introduce you to the trust-stored10:40
mardy \o/10:41
ogra_mandel, sure10:41
mandelogra_, I love utouch :)10:41
ogra_:)10:41
mandelogra_, weird question, do you know how can I get the phones imei, firmware and manufacturer?11:03
ogra_mandel, hmm, not sure you should be able to get it from the properties (getprop)11:09
mandelogra_, what dbus interface and path are those?? I'll investigate :)11:09
ogra_not sure there is a dbus interface11:10
mandelogra_, also, you are muuuuuch better than me with shell, can you tell me how terrible is this => http://paste.ubuntu.com/7854730/11:10
mandelogra_, is an upstart job that requires a number of env vars to be set and always be there even if empty11:10
ogra_mandel, well, these env vars wont be available outside of what you start in this job11:12
mandelogra_, yes, that is intended :)11:12
mandelogra_, just for those two exec11:12

jgdx(to both)13:57
kenvandinejgdx, great... dunno about those warnings though :)14:01
jgdxkenvandine, don't you have a double binding right now?14:08
jgdxkenvandine, L43 and L49 do the same thing, and that might produce the warning (L43)14:08
kenvandinejgdx, L49 is probably not needed, but that warning you saw was in the anchors of the Slider component14:10
kenvandineso just layout stuff, nothing value related14:10
* kenvandine tests without that14:10
kenvandinejgdx, i can remove L4914:12

pmcgowanseems it should see a 148 to 150 update16:52
barrypmcgowan: if it can't acquire the lock, that means a -dbus process is already doing the check.  it should show up in the ui that there's an update available16:58

barryoh yikes, mine is updating to 150.  no worries, i'll reflash it17:00
barrypmcgowan: if you set the file to 148, that means it's "at" 148, so upgrading to 150 makes sense17:00
pmcgowanbarry, but check the log it says 149 to 15017:00
pmcgowanso its ignoring 14817:00
barrybut you can always verify this with `system-image-cli --info` and `system-image-cli --dry-run`17:00
cwayneon a fresh flash, tapping 'abut this phone' in settings doesnt do anything..17:00
barrypmcgowan: yep, that's expected.  the message might be misleading, but the "Upgrade path" log info doesn't include the version your device is at17:02
pmcgowanbarry, ok, so the original problem is after changing that file it did not see an update available, per test B17:02
pmcgowanbarry, seems test B scenario is wrong17:02
pmcgowancwayne, thats not good, what does log say17:03
barrypmcgowan: okay, let me try this: i am going to flash to 149, hack the file to 148 and then try to check for an update from the ui17:03

cwaynei think my n4 is officially busticated17:13
pmcgowanreboot?17:14
pmcgowanmaybe screen calibration got foobar17:14
ogra_cwayne, system-settings can fipl 180° ...17:19
ogra_*flip17:19
ogra_just turn your mako around17:19
cwayneogra_: lolt hat worked17:20
dakerguys, image 150 is broken ?17:21
ogra_daker, yes17:22
daker:(17:22
dakerblack screen17:22
ogra_daker, adb shell ... mount -o remount,rw / && vi /etc/system-image/writable-path  .... add the changes from http://paste.ubuntu.com/7857334/ ... mount -o remount,ro / && reboot17:23
dakerok17:23
cwaynedo you need to do the last mount?17:23
ogra_(writable-paths actually ... not path)17:24
ogra_cwayne, i usually do it so shutdown doesnt write any files where they shouldnt be17:24
ogra_(you never know)17:24
dakerogra_: this will break OTA updates ?17:24
ogra_daker, nope, what makes you think that ?17:24
dakerogra_: making things writable17:25
ogra_daker, but you only edit one file and make it ro again17:25
ogra_(and the file will be exactly the same in 151)17:25
dakerogra_: ah ok17:26
barrypmcgowan: can you pastebin or otherwise post the full client.log?17:27
pmcgowanbarry, how bout I email it over17:28
pmcgowansent17:29
barrypmcgowan: got it, thanks17:29
barrypmcgowan: one thing i've noticed is that when my device boots up, it seems like system-image-dbus is already running.  not sure why (probably gets dbus activated by system-settings or some such).  i'll update the test plan, but this process really needs to be sigterm'd before the packages can be updated and the test plan executed17:45
pmcgowanbarry, I dont see it running here when I enter settings17:46
pmcgowanor when I run the system-image-cli checks17:47
barryhmm.  interesting.  as soon as i get a shell after a reboot of r149, the process is running for me17:47
pmcgowanI can see what happens on a reboot17:48
pmcgowanbarry, fwiw I am testing on a manta17:48
barrypmcgowan: me too17:49
pmcgowanbarry, rebooted and its running17:51
barrypmcgowan: yeah.  i don't know why that is, but the process has to be sigterm'd for the rest of test b to work17:52
barry(i.e. clean state)17:52
MoPacHello. I am thinking about buying a hybrid originally made to ship with Windows (the HP Envy x360). The one store I tried that actually had one (Best Buy) wouldn't let me boot from a USB stick to try U14.04 out. Are there any questions I can ask HP or specifications I can read about a system...17:52
MoPac...that might be indicative of whether Ubuntu Touch fucntions will generally be able to work or not?17:52
barrypmcgowan: i've tried it several times, and if i'm careful (i.e. killing the process, etc). i can get test plan b to work each time.  if it's still failing for you, perhaps you could try the other tests and see how they turn out?17:54
MoPacI'm not sure if the sensor data from touch screens and orientation sensors is very fragmented right now between OEMs. Are they all pretty much sending the same ACPI or whatever signals in the same format? Or is Ubuntu having to add drivers for each new system that comes out?17:55
pmcgowanbarry, I guess the problem is I need to wait for 151 or it will hose me17:55
barrypmcgowan: probably not a bad idea ;)17:55
pmcgowanMoPac, good questions, not sure if any is here to help on that17:55
MoPacpmcgowan: Is there any good place to ask a question like that? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices deosn't really seem to be the right forum17:59
pmcgowancheck this list http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/desktop/models/?query=envy&category=Desktop&category=Laptop&release=&level=Any18:00
pmcgowanlots of ENvy models certified18:00
MoPacpmcgowan: Ah, that's more recent than I thought -- most of the models I've found on that list have usually been years out of date; thatnks for getting me to look at it again18:01
pmcgowanMoPac, sure, not sure the hybrid is there or not, but its promising18:02
MoPacpmcgowan: It isn't, but yes, that's fairly promising. One thing it may not indicate, though, is whether the sensor data for orientation or configuration (like the state that deactivates the keyboard because it's beeen folded out) would work18:03
pmcgowanyeah that I doubt18:04
MoPacOne other thing I was wondering about that's more generic to Ubuntu Touch: is touchscreen sensitivity usually easy to configure at a software level?18:04
MoPacI really want a hybrid tablet that I can write on. In a store, a screen might seem awful for writing because it's smoothing out my quick fine movements of a stylus into straight lines or ignoring them. But I can't alter admin settings in Windows or try booting Linux. So do you guys know if upping the sensitivity and relaxing the jitter dampening is something that you can just do for any screen...18:06
MoPac...in Ubuntu? Or, again, is it something that requires messing with each individual screen differently through its own drivers?18:07
Gallomimiahey think ubuntu touch would run well on a tablet with half a gig of ram?18:13
Gallomimiai seem to remember hearing requirements are a full gig18:13
sergiusensGallomimia: that's true18:14
sergiusens1Gb18:14
Gallomimiatoo bad. i got a line on some 7" tablets for 75 bucks each. quad core, half gig only :(18:15
mhall119bzoltan: after getting my scope installed, I can see it and open it,but I don't see any results, looking at the code it appears that there should be some place-holder results being added by the template, what might I be doing wrong?19:26
mhall119cwayne: ^^19:26
dobeyis it not possible to set a Button in qml as insensitive?19:49

tomdpHas anyone else experienced a broken display in ubuntu-emulator? When I run it, the display is divided into a few bars, each offset a bit, with garbage from other parts of the screen, or previous parts of it, or even parts of ubuntu touch's display. I've tested it on 2 different Xubuntu 14.04 machines.22:46
dakerogra_: can't ssh to the device anymore : chown: invalid user: ‘phablet:phablet’22:55
dakerwell adb shell works22:56
slangasekdaker: you need to update to image 151; the previous image had a broken user migration23:11
dakerslangasek: yes managed to update via system-image-cli23:13
slangasekok, so once updated phablet:phablet should no longer be invalid23:13
slangasekif it is, that's a previously unidentified bug23:13
