[02:33] hey there [02:38] hey allyai [02:40] I'm dual booting android kitkat and ubuntu touch on my nexus 4. in ubuntu touch, the data doesnt work but i can still text and stuff. how do i get the data to work? [02:40] figured it was an apn thing === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun [02:40] but there arent apn settings in ubuntu touch [02:41] Edit the files manually. [02:41] Who's your carrier? [02:42] walmart family mobile but it uses t-mobiles apn [02:42] T-Mobile US, then? [02:42] im new to ubuntu, for the most part [02:42] yes [02:42] So in that case the problem is that it defaults to an IPv6 APN but ofono (which does the data stuff) doesn't support IPv6. [02:42] ahh so change to the ipv4? [02:43] So what you want to do is activate Developer Mode, stop ofono, edit the config file, and then start ofono and you're all set. [02:43] There's no APN editor *yet*, so let me find a link. [02:43] any way you could walk me through that? [02:43] xD [02:43] okay, great [02:46] Grr, can't find it. Okay. So first of all, what channel are you using? [02:46] channel as in? [02:47] As in where you got the image from. [02:48] the ubuntu touch image? [02:48] Yup. [02:48] used an app that auto did it. multiroot app [02:48] err [02:48] multiboot [02:48] MultiROM Manager? [02:48] yeah [02:49] Great. And when you had a list of 6 channels and a dropdown for revisions, which channel did you choose? :) [02:49] i feel dumb now xD [02:49] Actually, we can do better. In Ubuntu, go to System Settings and choose About this phone and tell me what OS version it says. :) [02:49] i think i chose stable and revision 232 i think [02:49] 243 [02:50] 14.10 [02:50] Okay, that's devel-proposed. [02:50] Thanks. :) [02:50] mmhmm :D [02:51] Okay, so go to the bottom of that screen and it'll say Developer Mode. [02:51] Okay, enable that then? [02:51] You'll need to set a PIN or password to turn it on, but you can do that from there too. [02:51] Yup. [02:51] Oh, are you running Ubuntu on your computer? [02:51] on my laptop, yeah [02:51] im on my desktop atm [02:52] Okay, well, we can do it on the phone through the Terminal app too. [02:52] yeah [02:52] enabled it [02:53] Okay. Open the Terminal, and type "sudo -i", no quotes. For your password you'll put in the security code you just set. [02:53] ok, did so [02:55] Okay. So type in 'cd /var/lib/ofono', no quotes, and hit Enter, and then 'ls' and Enter. [02:55] You'll see two directories. You want the one without a -# at the end. So you'll type 'cd ' and the first number, then double-tap the screen and it'll fill in the rest for you. Press Enter. [02:57] ok [02:57] Okay, so now we'll stop ofono. Run 'service stop ofono' [02:58] Next, we'll change the configuration. type 'nano gprs' and hit enter. [02:58] so run service stop ofono or service stop ofono? [02:58] 'service stop ofono' [02:59] stop - unrecognized service [02:59] Err, try 'service ofono stop' [02:59] there it is [02:59] Perfect. Now 'nano gprs' [03:00] oh nice [03:00] then input the apn? [03:00] You'll see a line that says "Protocol=ipv6". You're going to use the arrow keys to go down and change "ipv6" to "ip" [03:00] Should already be set up. [03:00] But yes, if you need to make changes, this is where you do it. [03:00] arrow keys? [03:01] oh [03:01] found it xD [03:01] Press the menu icon in the toolbar at the top right corner of the screen and choose "Arrow keys" [03:01] Yeah. :D [03:02] ok, at ip [03:02] Okay. Bring up the function keys and choose Ctrl+X. [03:02] Then type "y" when it asks if you want to save. [03:03] Just Enter when it asks for a filename. [03:03] not asking me to save [03:03] What happened instead? [03:04] nothing. pressed ctrl+x and it didnt do anything [03:04] Hmm. That'll be a problem. [03:04] Can you get your laptop? [03:04] yeah, one sec [03:07] sorry, wifi stopped working on laptop for some reason so i have to be wired === mysticdemon is now known as allyai_ [03:08] Welcome back. [03:08] Laptop is running 14.04? [03:08] Thanks. Yeah, thats another issue im having now xD getting my wifi on my laptop working again. first time ive encountered any issues with it [03:08] yeah, 14.04 [03:08] Great. Install phablet-tools then. 'sudo apt install phablet-tools' [03:09] Whoops, that's in a termian. [03:09] terminal. [03:09] right xD [03:09] The good news is that you've already done all the steps. You just get to do it faster and easier now that you have a keyboard. :) [03:09] yeah xD [03:09] Connect your phone to your laptop via USB for this. [03:10] its installing [03:10] id like to get better with ubuntu and terminal and stuff xD [03:11] It's all pretty simple. You just have to learn it step by step. :) (I'm writing a book :P) [03:11] Very nice. Yeah, i assumed so. [03:11] Just dont know where to start [03:12] Well, there's plenty of Linuxy stuff to learn from the GUI. The command line is just a much more direct way to tell your computer to do things. [03:13] right right [03:13] Actually, you can join this rather expensive course for free: https://courses.edx.org/courses/LinuxFoundationX/LFS101x/2T2014/ [03:13] Self-paced. :) [03:13] oh, thanks :D [03:14] Okay, so once everything's installed and your phone is attached, run 'phablet-shell'. You might have to run it twice. [03:14] okay, it's done [03:14] Okay, so now you're controlling your phone just like you did with the Terminal ap. [03:15] So , 'sudo -i', then 'cd /var/lib/ofono', then 'ls' [03:15] phablet-shell command not found [03:15] Hmm. [03:16] type 'apt-cache policy phablet-tools' and let me know what "installed version" says. [03:17] phablet-tools: Installed: 1.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status [03:18] Could have sworn that had phablet-shell in it. Type 'phablet-' and press Tab twice and see if there's anything similar there. [03:18] (Tab autocompletes things from what you type. It's one secret to looking cool and fast when you're using the command line.) [03:19] phablet-bootchart phablet-demo-setup phablet-network phablet-click-test-setup phablet-dev-bootstrap phablet-screenshot phablet-config phablet-flash phablet-test-run [03:19] Huh. [03:21] In that case, run 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:phablet-team/ppa' [03:21] No, belay that. [03:22] okay xD [03:23] If 'adb shell' doesn't work, I'll find something [03:24] * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * * daemon started successfully * error: device not found [03:24] im plugged in [03:27] Okay. Try this. [03:27] 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:phablet-team/tools' [03:28] Then 'sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade' [03:28] (This runs 'sudo apt update', and then only if there are no errors it runs 'sudo apt upgrade') [03:29] oh thats nice [03:30] Yeah, you can separate commands with ';' but && is nice when you don't want to keep going if there's a problem. [03:30] That's really convenient [03:31] alright it's done [03:31] Great. Now we try 'phablet-shell' [03:32] waiting for it to do something [03:33] Okay, let me know if if gives an error. [03:34] still not doing anything [03:35] Okay. Ctrl+C will cancel the command. [03:35] run 'sudo adb kill-server' and we'll restart adb. [03:36] Then run 'adb devices' [03:38] i know from flashing android on windows that should show me device [03:38] it's not [03:38] actually [03:38] my device isnt even showing as being plugged in, but it's charging [03:39] Oh? [03:39] gimme a sec, let me grab another cable [03:39] Good idea. :) [03:39] If not, at this point if you have adb set up on your Windows computer we'll move back. [03:40] now it's showing [03:40] try the phablet-shell again> [03:40] \o/ [03:40] ? [03:40] That's "yay" with my hands in the air. [03:40] yeah xD [03:40] been on irc since 2007 ^_^ [03:40] haha XD [03:41] Didn't realize the "?" was a typo correction. :) [03:41] Any luck now? [03:41] ohhh [03:41] phablet-shell? [03:41] Yup. [03:41] sec [03:42] ssh-keygen: /home/myname/.ssh/known_hosts: No such file or directory [03:42] That's just fine. It should set all that up for you. [03:42] Run it again. :) [03:42] same error [03:43] Strange. Try 'adb shell' now. [03:43] changes to phablet@ubuntu-phablet \o/ [03:43] Great. [03:43] instead of the other directory [03:44] Okay, from now on you're controlling your phone. [03:44] So: 'sudo -i' then 'cd /var/lib/ofono' and then 'ls' [03:45] Then 'cd [first number of the directory]', hit Tab, and then enter. [03:45] okay [03:45] done [03:45] Okay. 'service ofono stop' [03:46] 'nano gprs' [03:46] Change "ipv6" to "ip", then Ctrl+O to save, and Ctrl+X to exit. [03:47] That's Ctrl-O as in "Write _O_ut your changes to disk." [03:47] right [03:47] asks file name to save as [03:47] Same, so just press Enter. [03:47] file name to write [03:48] enter wont do anything :/ [03:48] Ctrl+X to cancel and Ctrl+X to exit. Make sure the prompt says root@ubuntu-phablet [03:50] yeah, it says that [03:51] And 'service ofono stop' said service stopped/waiting right? [03:51] yeah [03:52] Well, try again. :) 'nano gprs' [03:52] did [03:52] xD [03:52] Great. :) Try it again, and just a thought, 'O' should be lowercase. [03:52] Although I don't think that matters. [03:53] Not once you get to the filename prompt anyway. [03:53] yeah enter still wont work [03:53] Okay, watch this. Change it to 'gprs.new' [03:54] when i go to save it? [03:54] Yeah. [03:54] still doesnt do anything [03:54] Pressing Enter next to ' and not Enter on the number pad? [03:55] yep [03:55] Okay. [03:55] Exit nano with Ctrl+x [03:55] okay [03:55] Then run 'cp gprs gprs.new' and then try 'nano gprs.new' [03:56] That makes a copy and then we'll open the new one. Make the changes and try to save. [03:56] nope [03:56] still wont do it [03:57] Okay. Exit nano, run ls -l gprs' and paste in just the one line with the filename in it. [03:58] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 229 Sep 28 23:46 gprs [03:59] Just what it should say. [03:59] Well... try 'sudo nano gprs' [04:01] still wont save [04:01] whats append and prepend? [04:02] append adds on to the end a file, prepend adds on to the beginning of a file. [04:02] I have to say, I'm stumped. :) [04:03] I've been fixing the file for a month on both the devel-proposed and rtm branches. [04:03] hmm [04:04] The bad news is that we haven't made any changes to the phone, so it will all work again once you run 'service ofono start' [04:04] But the bad news is we didn't make any changes to the phone. :) [04:04] If you want to try to reflash, 'rtm/ubuntu-14.09' is probably the best release to play with if you're not a developer. :) [04:05] ('rtm/ubuntu-14.09-proposed' would be the developer side... they're built daily and super well tested ones get moved to the first channel.) [04:05] okay so use multirom manager and add that one instead? [04:06] actually one sec [04:06] Yup. Delete this one (for space purposes), so be sure to pull any pictures you've taken. [04:07] okay [04:07] let me do that [04:07] Sure thing. [04:08] If I fall asleep spontaneously, basically the only thing you do after you save the gprs file changes is either reboot or run 'service ofono start'. And then if that doesn't work reboot. [04:08] boot android and use the app to delete the rom? [04:08] Yup! [04:09] while im waiting for this, registered on edX [04:09] Great! It's a really nice course, and it's prepared by the Linux Foundation. [04:10] but i cant register for that course [04:10] when i click register it takes me to an all courses page xD [04:11] That's super bizzare. [04:11] idk haha [04:11] how do i delete these "partitions" [04:12] On the phone? Shouldn't be any. [04:12] Run MultiROM Manager, swipe the tray in from the left, choose "Manage ROMs" [04:12] Then click the trash can to delete the Ubuntu ROM. [04:12] i feel so dumb hahaha [04:13] It's really easy to do the second time. :) [04:13] it's like midnight and im tired. my excuse xD [04:13] It's okay. It's only 9pm here and I'm already falling asleep, heh. [04:14] and im installing ubuntu-rtm/14.09? [04:14] Here's the edX link again: https://www.edx.org/course/linuxfoundationx/linuxfoundationx-lfs101x-introduction-1621 [04:14] Correct. [04:14] It lags behind in features but functionality doesn't break occasionally like it does in -proposed where they're testing the new stuff. [04:14] ahh there we go. now i can add it [04:15] alright, installing now [04:15] Once they have something nice and solid, they "promote" an image to 'ubuntu-rtm/14.09' and then you'll see it in the system updates. :) [04:15] well, actually, whats the difference in that and the -customized one? [04:15] The -customized one is broken. [04:15] ah [04:15] Canonical used it to test the OEM customization toolkit but it was internal-use-only. [04:16] i like ubuntu more than windows [04:16] Basically, the Ubuntu system image is one thing, all support (drivers and so on) for a specific device is another file, and then OEMs can customize color schemes, branding, and extra apps, and that's a completely different file. So it shouldn't be fragmented like Android. [04:17] I've been using Ubuntu only, other than work, since Ubuntu 6.10 in 2010. And sometimes at work too. ;) [04:17] Also by 2010 I mean 2006. [04:18] oh nice [04:18] ill probably keep windows for awhile for gaming stuff [04:18] I mean, sometimes I boot into Windows because Skyrim. But now between Steam and Kerbal Space Program... [04:18] cant wait for more steam games to be linux supported [04:19] tried using wine but i cant get terraria to play xD [04:19] When Civ V came out nobody saw me for 2 days. :) [04:19] haha [04:19] Between steamlib and OpenGL, Linux support is quite easy. So anything supporting SteamOS ought to just work on Ubuntu. [04:23] i'd like terraria to work [04:25] Hmm, it's supposed to. [04:26] https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=13082 [04:26] This might help you out: http://www.playonlinux.com/en/ [04:26] yeah im using playonlinux [04:26] ha! [04:27] i installed steam with playonlinux to play final fantasy 8 [04:27] I don't have that game, so that was all I had :) [04:27] not working for terraria though. says app is already running and whatnot [04:28] That's certainly odd. [04:28] in steam it says that [04:29] i could try doing terraria through playonlinux instead of through steam through playonlinux [04:29] Might be worth a try. [04:29] but im not sure how to xD [04:29] Playonlinux should walk you through it. :) [04:32] okay, phones working. shall we try this all again? [04:36] lol enter still wont work xD [04:36] Seriously? [04:37] I actually found that my phone (I have a Nexus 5) hadn't been updated either since I reflashed it. [04:37] So I did the steps in tandem. [04:37] and yours worked? [04:38] Can you copy everything you've done in the terminal from "phablet-shell" on, and paste it at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ ? [04:38] Yeah, worked fine. [04:38] how do i copy everything after doing nano gprs? [04:39] all i see is the edit part for that file [04:39] not anything i had already done [04:39] When you exit nano you should be able to see the rest. [04:39] drag the mouse up past the top of the window and it should scroll. [04:39] It sounds like you're doing everything right, so I want to see if I can find anything else wrong. [04:40] not scrolling [04:40] What if you drag the scrollbar? [04:41] doesnt have one [04:41] In that case, if you wouldn't mind replicating your steps (stop before the nano step)... [04:42] "exit" twice will bring you back to your computer. [04:42] Or you can open a new terminal and go from there. :) [04:42] (The first exit logs out from root, the second from the phone.) [04:48] did you get that? [04:49] Yup. [04:49] Yeah, that's all the right stuffs. [04:50] The only thing you forgot was 'service stop ofono' [04:50] But that shouldn't keep you from saving, I don't think. [04:51] ofono will just overwrite it with the old version, but nano should still save. :) [04:52] hm === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk [04:56] On the bright side, Ubuntu's data usage on the phone is kinda high? [04:57] eh? [04:58] You won't have to worry about excess data charges or reaching your bandwidth cap this way. :) [04:59] ahhh [04:59] unlimited data amnyway :P [05:01] Me too, but there's that time I was at SCALE and forgot I was tethered throw my phone and turned on Netflix. Ate through 4.5GB of beautiful HD video in about an hour and a half. The next two weeks were sad. :P [05:02] hahahaha [05:02] thats unfortunate xD [05:02] At least it lasted through the conference. :) [05:02] xD [05:03] damn, i wish i could get this data working so i could get the most use out of this OS [05:03] Yeah, the phone really needs data to get anything done. [05:04] ubuntu in general, from what ive gathered [05:04] in my few weeks usingit [05:06] I like Ubuntu because you can basically just sit down and get things done without fighting with it (T-Mobile's APN excluded). [05:06] And then, of course, once you get your work done, if you *want* to sit down and tweak things there's nothing stopping you. ;) [05:07] Work *is* being done on an APN editor, btw. I don't know what the delivery timeframe is but I should suspect some time in October. [05:07] xD [05:07] nice [05:07] hmm [05:08] thats odd [05:08] stop: unrecognized service [05:08] when i do service ofono stop [05:08] That is odd. [05:08] was gonna try it again from the phone itself [05:09] Oh, you have to run sudo first. [05:09] No, wait. You have to reactivate developer mode. :D [05:09] i did :P [05:09] But once you have a shell, whether it's in your Terminal or on the computer, it's identical. [05:09] first thing i did [05:10] hrm [05:10] You might be able to setup the APN here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/413438/no-mobile-data-on-nexus-4-ubuntu-touch [05:10] hmm [05:10] You shouldn't have to create the context, just use deactivate-context and then list the parameters to find out how to change the protocol. [05:11] mind walking me through that? [05:11] xD [05:12] Sure, let me reboot my phone again. :) [05:12] thank you :D [05:15] Okay, starting from phablet-shell [05:16] okay [05:17] sudo -i [05:17] cd /usr/share/ofono/scripts/ [05:17] ./deactivate-context [05:17] ./list-contexts [05:18] -bash: adb: command not found [05:18] when i do adb shell [05:18] You're supposed to do phablet-shell :) [05:19] oh im still in root [05:19] xD [05:19] phablet-shell gave ssh-keygen: /home/randall/.ssh/known_hosts: No such file or directory [05:19] Aha! [05:20] but adb shell worked [05:20] in that case, cd /usr/share/ofono/scripts/ [05:20] ./deactivate-context [05:20] ./set-context-property 0 Protocol ip [05:20] And that should do it. [05:20] ./activate-context [05:23] okay [05:24] do i need to reboot? [05:24] No, shouldn't. You can toggle airplane mode once or twice. [05:26] Success looks like this: http://imgur.com/mRH4OJm [05:27] Ah, looks like ofono isn't running again. [05:27] 'service ofono start' [05:28] ohh am i missing that? xD [05:28] ./deactivate-context [05:28] ./set-context-property 0 Protocol ip [05:28] ./activate-context [05:28] You'll be all set. [05:28] from the /scripts/ directory? [05:28] Yup. [05:29] When you type a command, it only runs from the system's path to commands. That's what the './' means. It means "in this directory" [05:29] Keeps malicious archives from trying to take over a command. :) [05:31] still no 3g === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun [05:32] Send me the output from those commands again. :) [05:32] Punch airplane mode on and off from the network indicator, too. [05:33] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/8452956/ [05:34] Yup, looks good. If airplane mode doesn't fix it, I'd just reboot the phone. [05:34] gonna try that [05:35] my volume keys dont do anything :( [05:35] Really? I'm almost certain mine do. [05:36] Can confirm. [05:36] on a side note: terraria's working [05:36] \o/ [05:37] lol now it says no sim xDDD [05:38] Toggle airplane mode. :) [05:39] still nothing [05:39] but at least now 4g shows up under cellular data [05:41] Really? Because it never does for me. [05:42] yeah [05:42] Where exactly? In System Settings or in the indicator? [05:42] wish my 4g would work on my phone -_- damn turned off nexus 4 4g antenna [05:42] under system settings [05:43] I still only have off, 2G, and 2G/3G. [05:43] My connection icon in the indicator shows 4G though. [05:43]
