nicoleGood Morning all01:11
nicoleIs it possible to use a mobile phone  to boot only linux kernal?01:12
sarnolda kernel without applications is not much use..01:15
nicoleapplication? apache httpd, php01:16
nicolemyql client01:17
sarnoldor bash.. :)01:17
nicoleeither bash or sh01:18
nicolejust a DIY project,01:19
nicolehttp://www.gsmarena.com/karbonn_a21-5189.php havin this mobile, its touch screen has gone bad, and the service provider says equivalent to another phone cost01:21
sarnoldnicole: hmm, it might be hard to use unless you've turned on developer mode in android, that requires tapping something specific seven times, and then it unlocks and you can re-flash afterwards. I don't know if ubuntu touch will work on it or not, or if cyogenmod or similarwould be a better fit..01:24
sarnoldnicole: but I think nearly evreything interesting would involve it already being unlocked01:24
nicolesarnold: i am really dumb on this android, just was thinking like vennila kernal installing on X86 PC01:27
sarnoldnicole: ARM systems are different enough from simple PCs -- and the android OS on it isn't really designed to make it easy to switch to something else01:29
nicoleoh!01:29
nicolei am sorry for silly question, thanks for your time sarnold01:30
sarnoldnicole: look at this, see if you've got some options.. http://download.cyanogenmod.org/01:30
sarnoldnicole: I don't know if unlocking is supported on all devices or not; it requires tapping on something specific in the android configuration options seven times, then you can use 'adb' to connect to it and do things, such as reflash or add ssh or whatever..01:31
nicoleinstead of android is it not possible to use wi-fi lib's enabled kernel and the bootloader something like grub?01:32
sarnoldarm systems don't use grub; I -think- the kernel (and maybe initramfs?) must be flashed to a specific part of memory. it's much less flexible than PCs.01:33
nicolegot it sarnold: thanks for your patience in explaining02:05
sarnoldnicole: does it look like you can do something useful with your phone?02:06
nicolesarnold: no, on top of android only we can use02:07
sarnoldnicole: oh :( that's too bad02:08
nicolemight be let me try something like disable GUI and use headless android :)02:09
nicolesarnold: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-platform/XEDzxDGiFJA02:10
sarnoldnicole: oh, cool, I hadn't heard of headless android before02:11
nicolesarnold: so far finding only emulator kind of documents related to Headless android,02:27

seb128mpt, your locale issue is sort of a duplicate of bug #1248349, not easy to mark it as such when you made it affect different components though :/13:07

kenvandineseb128, not that i recall :)14:31
seb128kenvandine, guess, maybe a misundestanding then14:32
kenvandineseb128, you mean to the rtm branch?  is anything pulling templates from there?14:32
seb128yes and launchpad14:32
kenvandineor maybe i misunderstood you :)14:32

kenvandineso it pulls templates from both branches already?14:33
=== dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader
kenvandinei thought the build fix from you fixed this?14:33
seb128well, launchpad has series14:33
seb128the rtm langpacks use the rtm vcs pot14:33
kenvandineand we only pushed them to bzr for dpm's tracking tool?14:33
seb128trunk uses the trunk one14:33
seb128well14:33
seb128the build fix is only in vivid14:34
kenvandineand we didn't land this in rtm14:34
seb128and vivid translations are not enabled yet on launchpad14:34
kenvandineit just landed in vivid14:34
seb128right14:34
seb128wgrant said he would open vivid translations soon14:34
kenvandineok, i can refresh the template and push14:34
seb128until that happen the template is not imported14:34
seb128k14:34
seb128I think that's the easiest solution14:34
kenvandinervr, i'll do that after we land silo 3 ok?14:34
rvrkenvandine: Ok14:35
kenvandinervr, thanks, started testing that yet?14:36

kenvandinervr, just a bit stressed... our last top blocker for settings (for now) :-D14:38

seb128ah14:39
rvrkenvandine: :))14:39
kenvandinebeen sitting waiting for verification a couple days... i thought it had to be in the image by yesterday14:39
kenvandinepmcgowan, pitti: i tried completely removing the battery plugin from settings and can still reproduce the upower bug on rtm14:46
pittikenvandine: yeah, I think we are back to "we need udevadm/upower --monitor-detail/dbus-monitor logs when this happens"14:47
kenvandinei can watch top and see dbus-daemon load fluctuate, it never sleeps and if i wake the device when dbus-daemon is over 20%14:47
kenvandinesystem-settings completely hangs still14:47
pittikenvandine: I think the only things listening to battery change events are indicator-power and powerd14:47
kenvandineand settings isn't even listening for upower events14:47
kenvandinei think it's just dbus-daemon is too loaded14:48
kenvandinepitti, right14:48
kenvandineand they never sleep now14:48
kenvandinewhen plugged in at least14:48
pittikenvandine: I thought it would subscribe to add/remove?14:48
kenvandinepitti, i completely removed it14:48
cfhowlettcan ubuntu touch run in virtualbox?  or similar tool?14:48
kenvandinebut it still talks to dbus for other things14:48
kenvandinei think when dbus-daemon gets loaded up like this14:48
kenvandineand we have anything that blocks on a dbus call14:49
kenvandinewe spin14:49
kenvandinewe == settings14:49
kenvandineso not even talking to upower14:49
seb128kenvandine, did you get a bt when it's hanging?14:49
kenvandinebut i think upower is what's loading14:49
pittiwell, can we stop assuming and just get some logs? :-)14:49
kenvandineno, i can though14:49
kenvandineso some dbus-monitor logs?14:50
pittiudevadm/upower/dbus-monitor would all be helpful, I think14:50
pittito see where the spamming is introduced and where it goes to, and what it consists of14:50
pittiour previous theory of queueing up bat change events was pretty sound, but testing with your MP apparently showed that it was wrong?14:51
kenvandinepitti, yeah, wrong :/14:57
kenvandinepitti, i'm collecting logs now14:57

matv1swordfish90 thnx fr all the insight in terminal jst now!15:14
matv1swordfish90 but i just this morning ran into a bug that I dont see on LP15:16
matv1swordfish90 For some reason underscores are not showing up. I'm trying to figure out if its just me15:16
swordfish90glad to hear it has been insightful :D ... Thank you all for the participation...15:17
matv1swordfish90  np. i was there to learn mostly15:17
swordfish90matv1, are you using the current terminal-app or the one from reboot?15:17
matv1the current one15:17
matv1swordfish90 i am on latest promoted rtm15:18
matv1#7 i guess15:18
kenvandinepitti, i attached some logs to the bug and described what i saw while the logs were created15:18
pitticool, thanks15:19
matv1swordfish90 I asked on here this morning if anyone could verify, but got nothing so far, so maybe i am thinking i have screwed up my device15:20
swordfish90matv1, Ok. Sadly the "missing character" is known. We'll see if you can reproduce it also on the reboot (because many things are changed there).15:20
matv1swordfish90  oh okay. So you dont need a bug report for that? If you want i am happy to fill one out15:21
swordfish90matv1, it's probably a font bug, but I'm not sure about that. Have you tried changing it?15:21
matv1swordfish90  i tried changing the size, i remember that was an issue at one time15:22
matv1loooong ago15:22
matv1trying now15:23
matv1swordfish90 no font changes dont seem to matter15:25
swordfish90Ok, please fill a bug and we will try this in a couple of weeks on reboot (when it is reasonable featureful), and we will see what I can do. Thank you for the feedback.15:27
matv1swordfish90 np and thank you!15:29
skogshjortHey everyone!15:37
skogshjortWe're trying to make use of the ubuntu qml components. We've got the ubuntu-ui-toolkit and have tried to compile/install it with qmake and make. Make do however say that there are unknown modules in organizer.. Any ideas?15:39
bzoltanskogshjort: why do you need to compile the toolkit?15:39
bzoltanskogshjort:  the components are available from the qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-ui-toolkit-plugin package15:40
skogshjortI'm trying to tweak and make new components, and found out I'd like to use atom instead of the Ubuntu SDK :)15:41
haasnUbuntu Touch comes with standard programs that are just HTML5 websites, right? Can I still use those if I don't have an internet connection, or how am I supposed to understand it?15:42
bzoltanskogshjort: I am not familiar with that atom. What is that?15:42
haasnAlso, does Ubuntu Touch come with or support privacy technologies like GPG-encrypted e-mail clients, internet access via Tor or OpenVPN, or secure messaging via OTR messaging + IRC/XMPP?15:43
haasnI'm guessing I can just use those packages unmodified, as long as I compile them for ARM or whatever?15:45
MacSlowdandrader, I have a fix for bug 11 and 13 already... where do you want me to put that fix?15:45
ubot5bug 11 in Launchpad itself "Rosetta says there are untranslated strings, but it isn't" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1115:45
ubot5bug 13 in Baz (deprecated) "empty signing rules lead to invalid checksums" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1315:45
haasnAnd lastly: Is it possible to run Ubuntu Touch in a VM so I can test it out before I buy a device?15:46
bzoltanhaasn:  the Ubuntu SDK comes with an emulator. It as good as an emulator is. Also you can install the Ubuntu Touch on a nexus 4 - http://developer.ubuntu.com/start/ubuntu-for-devices/installing-ubuntu-for-devices/15:51
haasnCan I (easily) use the emulator on distros other than Ubuntu, or do I have to start a virtual machine running Ubuntu so I can install it? :p15:52
haasnClicking on “Ubuntu SDK” doesn't seem to bring up any content, for me15:53
haasnOh, there's content on the sub-page15:53
bzoltanhaasn: but if you need only an emulator than these instructions are for you https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Emulator15:55
dobeyhaasn: webapps that just load remote sites require network, yes. html5 apps that are local apps written with css/js/html on cordova api, do not necessarily need network i think, depending on what they do.16:00
dobeyhaasn: there isn't really a "default" mail app yet. i think the gmail web app is installed by default, but that's just the gmail web site. openvpn is not on the phone yet either, and there is no UI to configure it, but it's definitely something we want to support i think. there's no irc/xmpp client yet either. there is a webapp for telegram or two in the store though i think.16:01
haasnFair enough16:02
haasnHow good is the terminal emulator? :p16:02
dobeyusing a terminal without a keyboard is a pain on any platform :)16:02
dobeyi don't know how well mutt would work in it16:03
haasnI would have tried running weechat16:03
dobeyon my nexus5 it doesn't seem to be 80 chars width (in portrait mode anyway)16:04
dobeyso that's a bit annoying16:04
dobeyoh, but looks like i can change the font size16:05
dobeydidn't realize that. makes it much better at least16:05
dobeydekko is an e-mail app in the store. i don't know if it does gpg or not though16:07
popeyahayzen: ask cyphermox about bug 124198616:34
ubot5bug 1241986 in network-manager (Ubuntu) "Cannot connect to WPA/WPA2, EAP-PEAP, MSCHAPV2 network" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/124198616:35
ahayzenthanks popey :)16:35
ahayzencyphermox, should I be able to connect to a MSCHAPV2 network? i've copied the file from system-connections and the .cer but when i click on it in the network indicator it just resets the indicator?16:35
cyphermoxyeah, it should work16:37
cyphermoxbut the indicator probably won't show anything meaningful16:37
cyphermoxit could well be trying to create a new network when you click it16:37
ahayzencyphermox, any logs i can look at? as it just resets and then claims i'm on the other network16:37
cyphermoxI'd rather use nmcli con up id "name of connection", and see if it connection16:37
cyphermoxyou can look at syslog16:38
cyphermoxwhen you add a connection, you need to make sure the file has the proper permissions (root, 600) and that it doesn't contain the mac-address for your other computer, if it was copied16:38
ahayzeni changed the mac address and made it 600 and touched it16:39
ahayzennothing appears in the syslog when i click on it16:39
ahayzencyphermox, unless i did something wrong....i get $ nmcli con up id eduroam16:41
ahayzenError: No suitable device found: no device found for connection 'eduroam'.16:41
cyphermoxright16:41
cyphermoxedit the file on your phone and remove the line mac-address=16:41
ahayzenok :)16:41
cyphermoxI know about this and know it works because I use eduroam too :)16:42
ahayzenits asking for my password....didn't accept it on first attempt...16:42
ahayzenyeah keeps asking for the password even though i think it is right16:43
ahayzenyou don't have to register that specific device through connect@brookes hmmm16:43
robotfuelKaleo: ping, do you know how can I enable/disable the camera app hint to swipe for photo roll? (for testing)16:43
cyphermoxahayzen: check your file some more, eduroam is usually set up on your desktop to save the password to the keyring, so it wouldn't be in the file16:44
Kaleorobotfuel, it's set in the configuration file: /home/phablet/.config/com.ubuntu.camera/com.ubuntu.camera.conf16:44
Kaleorobotfuel, photoRollHintNecessary=false|true16:44
robotfuelKaleo: thanks16:44
cyphermoxahayzen: that's more editing you can do to replace  "password-flags=1" with "password=yourpassword"16:44
ahayzencyphermox, my desktop since i upgraded asks for my password....oh that probably explains that as i didn't copy back any keyrings16:45
ahayzenthere alot of stuff appearing in the syslog...16:46
ahayzencyphermox, hmmm Nov 14 16:49:21 ubuntu-phablet NetworkManager[1871]: <info> (wlan0): device state change: ip-config -> failed (reason 'ip-config-unavailable') [70 120 5]16:49

ogra_pitti, we will be permanently moving to the new touch release process which means we hard freeze the archive on wed. morning and open up again on friday evening ... the langpack generation kind of breaks that freeze atm ... could we set it to wed ?18:10
ogra_(we had to do a re-spin of the image for an emergency fix today and suddenly had all langpacks updated where there should only have been an atomic change)18:11
skogshjortOkay all qml persons, what dependencies do we need for developing with the ubuntu touch components?18:41
ogra_you should use the SDK ...18:42
ogra_but if you dont, i guess you at least want ubuntu-sdk-libs-dev18:43
bzoltanskogshjort: ogra_ is right ... just install the SDK18:43
skogshjortHmm, yeah, canonical sure wants that. Thing is, we've got a nice setup on an arch system and don't want to work in the sdk anyway. We've tried to compile the ubuntu-ui-toolkit using qmake + make, and still get this cute error that modules are unknown in "organizer"18:45

tomdpHello! Is anyone else using ubuntu-emulator and experiencing an issue where the emulator window's display only shows garbage and fragments of other things from your screen after setup? Or garbage where the background image should be during setup?21:20
tomdpI'm having this same issue across 3 different machines; two xubuntu and one ubuntu, both trusty21:21
dobeytomdp: i don't but it might help if you specify what arch the emulator is.21:57
