Mirvmardy: sorry, my vacation bug filing was poor. I updated the bug with link to the build logs. it was using the latest shotwell, so my (unwritten) assumption was that something has changed since the last shotwell upload in early November that now causes a rebuild to fail.09:13

gcollurabzoltan_, hello o/ about the MP on ubuntu-ui-toolkit, can I just resubmit the proposal with my branch, or should I create a new branch with the changes (since it's based on trunk and not staging)?09:46
bzoltan_gcollura:  this time the staging is very fresh so, the delta is almost zero.. I would just retarget the MR09:50

rickspencer3I'm trying to reflash my nexus 714:42
rickspencer3it says ... "Expecting the device to be in the bootloader... waiting14:43
rickspencer3" but I it looks clear that the device is in the bootloader :/14:43
davmor2rickspencer3: how did you get to bootloader?14:43
rickspencer3davmor2, I held volume down and power until the bootloader screen appeared14:44
jgdxElleo, any known workarounds? Spotify accounts for 50% of my smartphone usage. :) And thanks for the app btw, rocks14:45
davmor2rickspencer3: was it connected to the usb lead before or after the power switch and vol down hold?  I found that sometimes it didn't register correctly if I connected it after I was in bootloader14:45
rickspencer3davmor2, yeah, I tried it both ways14:46
Elleojgdx: you can switch suspend off in the power settings; I'm thinking of maybe making a sort of fake lockscreen that prevents you accidentally pressing buttons, that way you can still have it in a pocket or something with the device powered on14:47
rickspencer3this command should work, right?14:47
rickspencer3ubuntu-device-flash --bootstrap --channel=devel-proposed14:47
rickspencer3lool, ^14:47
Elleojgdx: its far from ideal though14:47
ogra_rickspencer3, try appending "--device flo"14:47
rickspencer3ogra_, that did it :)14:48
loolrickspencer3: you want touch14:48
loolubuntu-device-flash touch --device flo --channel=devel-proposed14:48
ogra_i think u-d-f assumes touch if you dont add it14:48
loolcould be14:48
rickspencer3lool, ogra_ yeah, the cli said it assumed touch14:48
rickspencer3for now14:48
rickspencer3it's deprecated, so lool is right, should probably document "touch" from now on14:48
jgdxElleo, fake lockscreen would work.14:49
looldevice detection only works when adb is up on the device side; when booted to bootloader, we dont detect the device name14:49
rickspencer3gotcha14:49
ogra_we do, but not on all devices14:49
rickspencer3that makes sense14:49
rickspencer3abd wasn't working anyway14:49
rickspencer3that's one of the reasons I am reflashing :)14:49
Elleojgdx: yeah, I'll add it next time I have a bit of free time to do some non-work dev :)14:50
sergiusens_lool: rickspencer3 device should be detected from the bootloader; just not from recovery14:56

mandellool, and yes, I'm around17:35
mandellool, sure, shoot17:35
loolmandel: browser works, but when I search for apps in store, or when I search for updates, it times out17:35
loolI've just reflashed without bootstraping to get rid of any local files that could get in the way17:36
loolthe logs under /home/phablet/.cache/ubuntu-download-manager are all super old17:36
mandellool, hmm is that downloading the apps or browsing?17:36
loolmandel: just searching17:36
mandellool, I mean, the download is started and then we do timeout, correct?17:36
loolno17:36
dakeraquarius: i think it's not implemented yet, it's in the spec https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Qrd4Flfs3EH-fI79IfrYgLdAx2nce-L7ve8NKLCX324/edit#slide=id.g2a8e607ab_06717:37
mandellool, if it is just search, as in browsing in the scope you will have to ping alecu17:37
loolmandel: it affects system-image too though17:37
aquariusdaker, ah, but I can't open a bookmark in the tab I'm currently in, with that design, which means: no bookmarklets :(17:37
mandellool, hmmm wait, system updates are not download, or checking of the update times out?17:37
loolmandel: checking the updates times out17:38
dakeraquarius: true, maybe file a bug about this ?17:38
mandellool, hmmm ok, is out udm for sure, I wonder, can you get the system-image logs, maybe the issue is that the server really is taking to long17:38

lool(skipping some lines)17:39
mandellool, weird, so it is requesting the download, and then it states that is up-to date... barry any ideas?17:41
loolmandel: I guess it is working frmo the d-m side, I just dont know why the UI is stuck updating17:41
loolmandel: and since I was getting similar timeouts with app search, I suspected some common component17:42
loolmaybe I'm just unlucky and two things are broken17:42
mandellool, oh, I know the issue :)17:42
mandellool, the online accounts are misbehaving and the UI or the scope do not deal with it correctly17:42
mandellool, I recommend you to remove the u1 credentials and readd them and try again17:43
loolso that's a likely explanation indeed17:43
mandellool, if the online accounts goes nuts the ui ignores the fact and gets in that ugly loop17:43
loolmandel: do you know if it breaks system update?17:43
mandellool, no, it does not, but the UI is very stupid and gets stuck there do to a query to the click store to check for updates of your apps17:44
mandellool, so, system updates is happy but since the click parts is not, you get that state17:44
loolok, as long as it's not breaking system updates I'm not too worried17:44
mandellool, no, system updates are not using online accounts at all17:44

aquariusmy hopes are not high. I've been banging on about bookmarklets being useful to do things like add the Readability service to the Ubuntu browser for two years :(17:45
loolmandel: yeah, updates dont time out anymore; one down17:46
loolsearch doesn't work tough17:46
loolbut I might have to restart to kill the scope or something17:46

aleculool: please try "restart scope-registry"17:46
loolalecu: sorry have rebooted already17:46
alecuno problem, it's the same effect17:47
loolalecu: is this something recurring, or a one off that we have shaken already?17:47
alecumandel: I don't recall discussing this before the shutdown... Let's ask dobey too.17:48
mandelalecu, I talked about this with mardy, sorry if it sounded otherwise17:49
mandelalecu, someone told me that udm was broken and the issue was this17:49
alecumandel: did you find out what kind of error online accounts is returning in this case?17:49
alecuor is it just crashing?17:49
mandelalecu, lt me grep my logs, mardy did give me a bug report (will take a few mins)17:50
dobeyque?17:51
aleculool: I don't recall experiencing this before... mandel's workaround (deleting the account and recreating it) should never be needed; some bit of our code should be handling this problem instead.17:51
alecudobey: 14:42 <mandel> the online accounts are misbehaving and the UI or the scope do not deal with it correctly17:52
dobeyit depends on what the problem is17:52
loolalecu: agreed17:52
dobeymisbehaving how?17:52
looldobey: so I was seeing time outs when searching for apps in the store and when searching for software updates; this was the end-user symptom; I didn't find any clue in the lgos I've checked -- but perhaps these werent the right ones -- and removed and recreated the account, which fixed the issue17:53
dobeywell timeouts != invalid credentials17:54
mandelalecu, dobey, lool I was pointed to this bug => https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-system-settings-online-accounts/+bug/137644517:54
ubot5Launchpad bug 1376445 in Online Accounts setup for Ubuntu Touch "Addition of signon-apparmor-extension causes token lookup problems" [High,In progress]17:54
dobeyjust browsing/searching in the store doesn't use the account17:54
dobeythe account is used to query what apps you've purchased.17:55
mandeldobey, that is why the updates query gets stuck, the browsing is something I have no idea :-/17:55
alecudobey: but we show that when browsing/searching17:56
dobeymandel: well, that bug was fixed17:56
alecudobey: we show if the app was purchased when browsing17:56
dobeyalecu: but it failing doesn't prevent the search from working17:56
dobeyif you have invalid credentials, then already purchased apps will simply appear as not having been purchased17:57
dobeyif a timeout is happening, then there is a network problem, not an authentication problem17:57
mandellool, I leave you with dobey and alecu they know waaaaay more about the (possible) issue, at least you can do the updates :)17:57
loolso just to be clear, I haven't touched my U1 credentials in any way and removing / readding the account fixed this, so clearly something was wrong with their storage or with the token on the server side17:58
loolmandel: thanks for pointing me17:58
alecudobey: the timeout might have to do with the online accounts library crashing because the storage of the credentials is messed up17:58
dobeylool: well, unfortunately it's hard to say what was wrong exactly. can you e-mail me your ~/.cache/upstart/scope-registry.log perhaps and i can see if there's something in it?17:59
loolthat's possible; the only crashes in /var/crash was mtp which is unrelated17:59
dobeyalecu: shouldn't. if it crashes, dbus should send the noresponse signal and we'd act like there were no credentials17:59

dobeyotg isn't supported at the moment, afaik20:37
nhainesdobey: I need Bluetooth for when I'm driving.  :)20:37
HopeChargingyou mean OTG charging?20:37
dobeynhaines: i need people not to bug me when i'm driving20:37
dobeyHopeCharging: i mean otg at all20:37
HopeChargingoh, I was able to get the keyboard to work, but not charging and the keyboard20:38
HopeCharginginteresting20:38
nhainesdobey: talking and driving is better than texting and driving.  :)  But I don't do either unless I can do it handsfree.20:39
dobeyoh, well maybe you got lucky, but my understanding is that otg is not yet well supported20:39
HopeChargingok, how bout this... is it possible to replace the android kernel?20:39
dobeyno20:39
HopeChargingwith something like ElementalX20:39
HopeChargingok20:39
nhaines(So, you know, when someone comes up with a handsfree texting solution...  but I'm not in any real hurry.)20:39

JoannisOHey! I want to develop for Ubuntu Touch but I only have one phone (Nexus 5) that can run it. Does anyone have enough experience with this port to give me advice? It's not an essential phone for me in a way that it (for example) can't ever crash to keep productivity up.. although it shouldn't constantly crash because I'd obviously like to develop for it.22:57
ahoneybunJoannisO, you want advice about how good the port is?23:06
nhainesJoannisO: root your phone and install MultiROM Manager.  You'll never have trouble with installing or uninstalling Ubuntu23:06
nhainesAnd then it's just dual-boot.  :D23:06
ahoneybunI've never dualbooted it23:06
JoannisOahoneybun: If someone knows how usable it is I'd prefer that, yes.23:07
JoannisOnhaines: Doesn't this greatly increase the risk of a brick?23:07
* ahoneybun has never bricked a Nexus device23:07
nhainesJoannisO: it greatly decreases it.23:07
nhainesAside from the fact that I don't think Nexus devices *can* be bricked.23:07
ahoneybunI don't think so either23:08
ahoneybununless you flash something for a different device mayne23:08
ahoneybuneven then though23:08
nhainesIn any case, I've been running Ubuntu on my Nexus 5 all year, no worries.  I don't even know how to flash Ubuntu over Android.23:09

JoannisOnhaines: Is there a tutorial for MutliROM Manager or is it as easy as can be? Obviously with a tutorial there's a minimal risk that I could mess it up.23:10
JoannisOI'll probably just remove Android anyways.23:10
ahoneybunnhaines, ubuntu-device-flash :)23:11
JoannisOJust to get this straight; it's literally one command (ubuntu-device-flash with some options) to start the process? Because this sounds waay too easy.23:13
sergiusensin general, for stable, just u-d-f --bootstrap for first timers23:17
nhainesahoneybun: for the Nexus 5?  :)23:18
nhainesJoannisO: it's literally just one command to flash Android too.  :)23:18
nhainesThere aren't any installation options.  Any image must be tailored specifically for the exact device it will be installed on.23:19
ahoneybunnhaines, same command for all devices I believe23:19
ahoneybunnhaines, https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/installing-ubuntu-for-devices/23:19
nhainesahoneybun: that's only for supported devices, and the Nexus 5 isn't supported.23:20
nhainesI'd be really surprised if you didn't have to point to the Nexus 5 server.23:20
JoannisOThanks for the info! It's all up and running now!23:27
JoannisOahoneybun: Do you have sound on your nexus 5?23:30
nhainesJoannisO: congrats!23:34
nhainesSound should work.  Bluetooth doesn't.23:34
