[00:42] Hey guys, is there any word on the nexus 6 running ubuntu? [00:44] E/UpstartPropertyWatcher( 1560): Failed to connect socket for '/dev/socket/upstart-text-bridge' on fd 7 (2 [No such file or directory]) [00:44] There isn't /dev/socket/upstart-text-bridge file, where should i search problem? [02:30] locusf: i get "redefined from 'boolean' to 'tristate'" and "warning: leading whitespace ignored" warnings when i compile w/ vendor defconfig. ANybody know wnaything about these? === slangase` is now known as slangasek === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun === chriadam is now known as chriadam|away === asac` is now known as asac [09:14] dpm: hi, you've been added as a reviewer for (https://code.launchpad.net/~unity-team/music-app/infographics-translations/+merge/248004) - would you be able to give your opinion on what I should do RE the review comments? and I'll sort that out. thanks! [09:15] pete-woods, sure [09:20] pete-woods, I'm not quite sure I follow the MP, what's the reason for adding an extra translateMe function in addition to the regular i18n.tr() function? [09:21] dpm: the idea is that it *doesn't* actually do the translation, just marks the string for extraction [09:21] dpm: as if you send a translated string to the server, it can't translate it if you then change langauge [09:22] so I just added a dummy pass through function called translateMe [09:22] there might be a more elegant way, but I'm far from knowledgeable about Qt [09:22] pete-woods, ok, got that part, thanks. But why can't the server do translations if there's a language change? [09:23] dpm: well if in the database, it has, e.g. the french for "no music today" and you change the language to spanish, how can it translate that? if the message catalogue only contains english strings? [09:23] what I'm a bit concerned about is about having to add this custom translateMe function to all apps that use infographics. It will be a bit confusing for developers, which have learnt to use i18n.tr() [09:24] dpm: yeah, I agree that's not ideal. I wonder if there's a way to package up a the same tagging function with my infographics QML plugin [09:27] * pete-woods looks how it was done in camera-app [09:27] oh, same mistake has been made there, too [09:28] :( [09:28] the nicest thing would be an addition to the i18n object/class to add a method for tagging translations, but not actually performing them [09:29] e.g. i18n.tag("string") [09:29] pete-woods, this might be me not understanding the internals of libinfographics, but the part I don't follow in the example you're mentioning above is why does the rest of the system manage to load translations when changing language and infographics doesn't? [09:29] is it not using gettext too? [09:29] perhaps kalikiana can help on that one ^ [09:29] dpm: the problem is that the infographics live outside the user's session, as you see them before you "log in" and the apps start running [09:30] so they need to be able to do the translation on their own [09:30] (using gettext) [09:30] before the app has re-un under the new language [09:31] pete-woods: hmm I'm not sure if I understand how this "tagging" should work. where would that call happen? [09:32] kalikiana: it just needs to be a single argument function that returns that argument [09:32] gettext need to be told a function name to extract for translation [09:34] pete-woods: a function name to extract? can you give a concrete example? [09:35] kalikiana: every time you use xgettext, you point it at some code, and by default e.g. it looks for function calls with the form gettext(a), dgettex(a, b), etc [09:36] but if you use those functions, gettext will actually perform the translation for you [09:36] which is obviously normally what you want [09:36] but in this case, we just want the string put into the gettext catalogue, but we don't want to perform the translation inside the app [09:37] we want to do that later, in the infographic server, so that when we change language, we don't need to run-run each of the apps [09:37] in order to get translated infographics [09:38] pete-woods: you, you want something like N_ [09:38] that makes sense [09:39] so since we don't use macros that would have to be a function doing nothing [09:39] kalikiana: sounds like we want the QML equivalent of that, yes [09:40] I actually like your suggested i18n.tag - it makes more sense than N_ if you read it [09:40] :) [09:40] especially since ngettext would be something completely different [09:40] pete-woods: can you file a bug for it? and I'll be proposing a branch for that [09:43] kalikiana: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1417031 [09:43] Launchpad bug 1417031 in ubuntu-ui-toolkit (Ubuntu) "i18n.tag function for tagging strings for gettext extraction" [Undecided,New] [09:44] kalikiana: is this something that could be put into RTM in addition to vivid? [09:47] pete-woods, kalikiana, if I understand it correctly, it seems like a similar case for the upstream gettext_noop function? https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Special-cases.html === JamesTait is now known as Guest34404 === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk [09:48] pete-woods: for that you'll have to demonstrate that it's a vital fix and maybe a big impact on localization… not something I can decide, though === Guest34404 is now known as JamesTait [09:50] dpm_: yes. I wasn't aware this is public API, at least in glib/gtk land I only know it as N_ [09:50] kalikiana: fair enough. I just wasn't sure what it'd do for app updates. e.g. could we continue releasing the music app for RTM if we tried to use this function. I'd guess not? there'd have to be a separate branch [09:50] kalikiana, indeed, I only knew N_, but it seems N_ is an alias for gettext_noop [09:53] pete-woods: I'd say ask maybe ricmm what he thinks about it [09:54] I think there's no exact rule what's import and what isn't, it really depends [09:54] I'd hope this was a super low risk backport, as it's basically a new function that does literally noop [09:54] pete-woods: I agree, it's pretty low risk, it doesn't change any existing behavior [09:55] pete-woods, related, but on a different note, I've never understood why plural forms don't work with libinfographics. Why is that? === dpm_ is now known as dpm [09:55] dpm_: originally the designs wanted floating point numbers, e.g. "2.3 miles walked today" [09:55] dpm: so everything is in terms of floats, and gettext doesn't do floats [09:55] oh, I see... [09:56] it just turns out that the only apps that have implemented infographics do everything as whole numbers [09:57] dpm: pete-woods on that aspect, for tag() I don't think it would work with plurals either [09:57] because normally gettext generates different strings in the app for plurals [09:57] but it can't if it's just tag() [09:57] kalikiana: no, it wouldn't. so we've gone for the strategy of doing "pictures taken today: 3" instead [09:58] hmmm that seems a little bit of a shame [09:58] makes it a bit less personal [09:58] pete-woods, yeah, that's a good workaround, but it sounds less human than "3 pictures taken today". [09:59] yeah. but it was impossible to reconcile with floating point numbers [09:59] yeah, I understand the issue [09:59] as literally every design picture had a non-whole number [10:01] pete-woods: is this carved in stone? say if we hypothetically put "%f miles" in the .po instead of "%d miles" === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun [10:02] we have our own API anyway in the form of i18n [10:03] kalikiana: the issue only comes when trying to retrieve the translation using gettext, the dngettext function takes an integer. You could put %f or whatever you wanted in the string, but the message catalogue is simply not indexed by floats [10:04] and I have no idea if I should just round down / up / whatever to pick the nearest integer [10:06] pete-woods: from the way it works I think we could pass the integer to get the correct form, as plurals don't depend on decimals - the problem then is, calling ngettext gives you the rounded number [10:06] not sure if replacing the numbers would be a wise thing to consider [10:07] ricmm, hey, what's the status of the platform-api desktop regression? we don't have a working iso for a week now, you said you knew what was wrong, is the fixing coming? ;-) [10:07] kalikiana: the decimals definitely do affect the plural forms. e.g. in english at least you have 0 miles, 0.5 miles, 1 mile, 1.5 miles [10:08] I don't speak polish, or any of the other languages with complicated plural forms [10:08] pete-woods: ah, very good example. I was truggling to think of one. so gettext as-is wouldn't even suffice [10:08] kalikiana: yep. I thought fairly hard about this problem when implementing [10:09] and came away disappointed, as I couldn't think of a clever solution [10:10] I think gettext probably doesn't implement the floating point support intentionally, as it's likely very hard to get right across all languages [10:12] well, it's defined per language, so I think it's in principle doable [10:13] though a syntax light msgstr[.*] might look awkward and confuse existing tooling… === cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson [10:55] Elleo, I had a small hardware issue and had a partial lost of my hd (last backup was not that new), can you refresh me the bug number for the image downloading?

[11:59] pete-woods, awesome, thanks, reviewed and commented [12:00] rbpi 2 is out [12:03] uhhimhere: Nice, but I have to admit that my Raspberry Pi Model B was never used for anything [12:04] you could use ubuntu touch on it [12:04] there will soon be snappy images for the RPi 2 [12:05] just find out if you could hook a MIPI screen onto it and youve got a PDA w/ubuntu touch [12:05] for 35 bucks [12:05] Sure, but then I would at least need a Touchscreen. I am till working on Ubuntu on BayTrail tablets, that looks like a better use of my time to me.

[12:31] but I think you catered for 0 priorities in langpack-o-matic, right pitti? [12:31] WARNING: domain ubuntu-keyboard has no priority, ignoring [12:31] hmm [12:31] so I can set the priority now [12:32] ricmm, sure can [12:32] that also affects libusermetrics [12:32] dpm: is there anything I should be doing from my side or is this all internal langpack build magic? [12:32] Elleo, I think it's language pack stuff [12:32] okay, thanks [12:32] thanks for checking [12:32] seb128: thanks, lemme know how it goes [12:33] dpm: I don't see ubuntu-keyboard in http://people.canonical.com/~dpm/data/ubuntu-l10n/utopic-potemplate-stats.json at all? [12:33] it should both prevent loading of the test backend unless an override is requested, and also depend on -test as well [12:33] dpm: I still use that as there's neither rtm nor vivid [12:33] * dpm thinks for a sec [12:33] pitti: the keyboard translations landed after utopic, so I'm guessing it never got into that file [12:34] ah [12:35] so for everything unknown, should we just include them all? [12:35] i. e. accept some unnecessary translations (dialog, libgnutls, ubuntu-ui-extras, apparmor-utils) in favor of also includeing them? [12:36] might be safer if we aren't terribly pressed for space [12:37] dpm: if we should continue to use ubuntu-l10n stats, would it be possible to set that up for vivid too? [12:37] pitti, yes, I'll send the RT now [12:38] pitti, as per derived distros, LP won't support exports until it gets this cron job added: https://code.launchpad.net/~dpm/lp-get-ul10nstats/distro-support/+merge/234349 - unfortunately, I haven't had the time to look at the review comments, and I'm not sure I'll have any time soon [12:39] let me see if I cand spend some time on it now [12:39] perhaps the issues are not that hard to fix [12:40] ping bzoltan [12:40] tekojo: hello Terom hows going?

[12:41] dpm: ok, in the meantime I'll adjust langpack-o-matic to always add domains without a priority; as I said we'll get some cruft, but it's not too bad [12:41] rvr: ^ [12:41] tekojo: I was not aware of it, so thank you! We will for sure delegate there folks. [12:41] pitti, ok [12:42] bzoltan: great, it was nice to have so many ubuntu devs around last year :) [12:42] pitti: dpm: I'm a bit lost about those details [12:42] rvr: i. e. next langpacks will include ubuntu-keyboard, and additionally a bunch of translations which we don't want [12:42] tekojo: as the importance and role of Qt is not less than a year ago... you can expect at least as many this year [12:43] bzoltan: nice. we should sit down for a coffee one of these days [12:43] pitti: Ack [12:43] tekojo: I am in :) I can bring zsombi from Salo de Janeiro too [12:44] tekojo: where is your office by the way? [12:44] bzoltan: Valimo, but I travel easily, as it's not many Qt people here [12:45] Microsoft will provide a free version of Windows 10 for the Raspberry Pi 2 [12:45] WTF [12:45] bzoltan: ? [12:45] seb128: because -test is just the override provider [12:46] tekojo: ahh... the good old Valimotie 21 :) I used to work in Valimotie 1 [12:46] from 2.7.0 on you can override any section of the loaded base module with an env var, which makes it resolve to the test plugin [12:46] if i wipe out the SBL on my phone i would still have PBL & console right? [12:46] I can drop the dep, but this makes people not shoot themselves in the foot [12:46] bzoltan: yeah, familiar buildng, I used to be in 13 a long time ago [12:46] tekojo: we can have a very non formal meeting in my Hki office ... you can bring over few of your fellows and we can demo stuff and chat about our plans.

It's all on NM/Ofono [13:05] not my territory :) [13:06] jgdx: did you figure out why the apn editor is not able to write the necessary properties over dbus? [13:06] on the context objects? [13:06] Wellark_, what props was that? [13:06] any properties [13:07] the symptons then are that you get a new "Internet" APN each time you open the editor page on vivid [13:12] Wellark_, I don' [13:12] think that was the issue [13:13] but I had to split up the code a bit, to be able to debug it [13:18] pitti, ok, updated the LP exporter, I CC'd you on the RT.

[15:30] jgdx: there's nothing more I can do just like this. could you please file a bug and make sure to attach /var/log/syslog and logs from ubuntu-system-settings? [15:30] to NM, any APN is indistinguishable from any other [15:31] cyphermox, sure [15:31] that said, I remember seeing before that the APN editor would create me one empty APN in addition to anything I'd do there, just from opening the app, that's bad [15:31] well [15:31] there's a bug for that [15:31] it shouldn't be bad, because it should still be able to notice there is nothing to do with it [15:32] but that's just how things work -- if one APN doesn't work, it should fall back to the next [15:39] jgdx, mind reviewing https://code.launchpad.net/~ken-vandine/ubuntu-system-settings/rtm-lp1329702_battery_charging_status/+merge/248154 [15:39] kenvandine, sure [15:40] jgdx, it requires indicator-power from https://code.launchpad.net/~charlesk/indicator-power/lp-1416096-publish-primary-device-state-on-bus/+merge/248142 [15:41] kenvandine, can you get the upstream version of the indicator bumped and depends on that rather than on a daily date?

[15:43] charles, can you bump the indicator-power version? [15:44] that hasn't landed in rtm yet [15:46] Elleo, awesome, thx [15:46] jgdx, yeah, that's fixed in another branch [15:47] seb128, kenvandine, ack.

[15:52] mandel: yeah [15:52] ok [15:52] oh hang on [15:52] I bet I know what it is [15:52] I started a big download in podbird to test that [15:52] and it's probably just queued behind that finishing [15:52] which'll take a while over 3g [15:54] mandel: yeah, that was it [15:54] mandel: my own fault :) [15:54] Elleo, oh, great! hehe [15:55] Elleo, I was a little scared :) [15:56] mandel: yeah, we should really get apps downloading stuff internally like updates to show an indication that something's queued like the transfer indicator does [15:56] mandel: it's only because I was vaguely aware of UDM's inner workings that I realised it was due to another app downloading something big and not system settings being broken [15:56] Elleo, +1 and looks like a work I should do, should state that an other download is in progress [15:57] Elleo, it is really confusing and I do agree, specially because whenever we move everything to the desktop the q migh allow more downloads and therefore the feedback would be very welcome [15:57] Elleo, we should ping design about this [15:57] yeah [15:58] kenvandine, seb128, ack === brendand is now known as road-slightly-ru === road-slightly-ru is now known as brendand [17:05] dbarth, hey, could you look at bug #1302716 and reassing it?

[17:32] "sudo fastboot oem unlock" ist not working on ubuntu 14.04 and i have to make "fastboot reboot" on a windows pc because the phone got no reset button!!! [17:34] so, could someone please help? [17:37] studio_, i doubt that will work, i think the default aquaris has a locked down recovery [17:38] (afaik) [17:38] i don't understand this: sudo fastboot oem unlock is that the bootloeader or just root? [17:39] that turns a locked down recovery into an open recovery so you can log in with adb to it (and i.e. install some other image or OS) [17:39] but the "oem unlock" command is pretty specific to nexus devices [17:40] (to open them for developers) [17:41] you will have to ask BQ how to unlock the bootloader on an android installed aquaris ... [17:41] yes, i have seen that, therefore i am not sure if i need that, because adb and fastboot is working [17:43] the problem is fastboot on ubuntu 14.04, when the phone is in fastboot ubuntu fastboot can't handle it, therfore i used a windows-pc to reboot my device [17:44] right, i am not sure you can esaily install ubuntu on an aquaris that came preinstalled with android ... you have to ask BQ [17:44] *easily [17:45] that's the second problem. BQ told me i have to look at their facebook-site :( [17:46] i suspect they will put up some install instructions once the ubuntu phones go on sale [17:46] yes, but sale is on march [17:49] 03/2015 [17:51] so how do other peoples install the RC-Version on their E4.5? [17:51] i dont think they do [17:52] yeah i don't think anyone has [17:52] it is unlikely to work without the help from BQ [17:52] is it still a "internal" version? [17:52] you need an unlocked bootloader and unlocked recovery for that to work [17:53] as i said, i would expect them to publish the necessary howto and tools to re-flash your android phone once the phone went public [17:53] yes, and therefore i need help :( [17:53] i think you need patience, and to wait for the public announcement from bq :) [17:54] yeah, i think so too [17:55] muahhhh ;) i thought i also get a "preview" on the phone before the show it on the 06.02.2015 [17:55] i'm pretty sure they will provide tools and instructions, but it is up to them ... we dont have these tools [17:56] bq e4.5 is krillin, right? [17:58] studio_, yes, BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition is known as krillin on our system-image.ubuntu.com server [18:01] i have downloaded images for krillin, but i am not sure if i should flash it with the mk-tool from the bq-site ? [18:05] studio_, the system-image server contains enough information to do updates to phones flashed by 'the factory'. it does not contain enough for a complete reflash from android [18:07] and the images will likely need to be post processed by BQ to allow using them with their mk-tool [18:07] they will be in the wrong format ... you will likely just trash your phone [18:08] that is what i thought, is ubuntu touch still using the android kernel or a 3.13- / 3.14-version? [18:08] it needs to use the android source to work with the binary drivers [18:09] the drivers expect certain interfaces to be in the kernel so you cant just replace it [18:09] (and well, they are binary so you cant just change the drivers either) [18:10] so ubuntu touch is still depending from android ??? [18:10] it is the android source but with ubuntu config and a bunch of patches (like apparmor for added security etc) [18:10] without the binary drivers you wouldnt be able to make the modem, sensors of the graphics work at all [18:10] s/of/or/ [18:10] :) [18:11] so yes, tere are some android bits needed [18:11] like on jolla or on firefoxOS ... no way around that [18:11] i allways thought ubuntu touch is independent? [18:12] because the vendor BSP is still developed for android first [18:12] it is [18:12] how would it ... would you want a phone without modem ? [18:12] but you need a working bsp [18:12] you can boot ubuntu touch completely without android bits if you like ... [18:12] mmakes a nice ssh server [18:13] but you wont be able to do much more with it [18:13] (the android bits run in an lxc container on ubuntu touch, you could just disable the container startup and would have plain ubuntu ... ) [18:15] @orga_ my first problem is how to install ubuntu touch on my bw E4.5 :) [18:15] bw=bq [18:15] as i said, you have to ask BQ [18:15] and they say nothing :( [18:16] the devices one recieves from a verndor for development have a specially unlocked bootloader and recovery ... unlike what you can buy in a store with android ... so nobody in the ubuntu world will be able to help you since we dont hit this issue [18:17] the only people that can provide you the unlocked bits are BQ [18:17] that i do not understand, isn't it "one team" ? [18:17] they are all very nice people which makes me suspect once the phone is on launch they *will* provide these bits and documents you need [18:18] what do you mean by "one team" [18:19] they "will" after the launch, this is stupid for nosy peoples like me :( [18:21] "one team" = ubuntu-touch/rc/bq-aquaris.en, whois making this channel? [18:21] well, i can only say what i suspect ... i cant speak for BQ [18:21] that is canonical ... this channel works on the specially unlocked devices ... and will also work on the preinstalled ubuntu phones [18:22] thats for bq, isn't it? [18:23] not sure, i never used that channel ... might even be for the canonical marketing team to demo something ... [18:24] rc sounds like Release Candidate [18:24] in any case canonical has no (well, or limited) control over the hardware vendor ... it is up to them to release the docs and tools to make android phones work with ubuntu [18:30] what about these image, http://people.canonical.com/~jhm/barajas/master/, is it possible to flash on my device? [18:33] studio_, those images are the input to system-image.ubuntu.com, and are the same contents [18:33] yes, but this is for krillin, isn't it? [18:34] studio_, yes, those are for krillin [18:35] studio_, thats the content of the lxc container i talked about above [18:35] so, how to i get a preview from ubuntu-touch on my phone? the emulator is so slow on my i5, i can't use it :( [18:35] studio_, I know of no way, and I am ~jhm on people.canonical.com. sorry! [18:36] ok, but how to speed up the emulator? [18:36] studio_, patience i guess ... BQ will surely release something for you too [18:37] i tried arm and i386 [18:37] studio_: you can't speed up the emulator that is the speed it runs at. [18:37] i386 should work at a usable speed [18:37] studio_: i386 should be fast unless kvm is not enabled for you [18:37] studio_: can you run kvm-ok (if you're using ubuntu) [18:37] and see the output [18:37] davmor2, sure you can ... you can overclock your CPU to 10GHz :P [18:37] feel free to paste me the emulator output as well as it boots, it shows in there if kvm is enabled or not [18:38] run it with --memory=1024 as well, if you have enough ram [18:38] ogra_: without causing global thermo nuclear war from the explosion that occurs [18:38] the bios from my acer laptop is restricted [18:38] right, but usually they allow you to enable or disable hardware acceleration [18:39] no vitual machine is from the bios possibel [18:40] mom, i have to switch to my notebook [18:40] studio_: if you want ubuntu on a real phone before the bq phone is released, the best phone to try it on, is a LG Google Nexus 4 [18:41] @dobey today i got my brand new bq Aquaris E4.5 [18:42] ok [18:43] the emulator is probably not the best way to try things out on a pc. you can try the "ubuntu desktop next" preview ISO and just boot off of it, or run it inside virtualbox or such [18:44] if you want to run ubuntu on an actual bq phone, you're just going to have to be patient and wait until bq lets you, though :) [18:46] @dobey nice idea, but i want to learn a bit ... [18:48] one of the problem is, this documentation "https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/installing-ubuntu-for-devices/" for ubuntu 14.04 got bugs [18:49] studio_: what's up with it exactly? [18:49] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa [18:49] the original flash tool shows the original channel. the ppa do not [18:50] therefor i use 2 PC's with ubuntu 14.04 [18:50] i dont understand the issue [18:50] ubuntu-device-flash is in that ppa [18:51] try ubuntu-device-flash --list-channels [18:52] where does it say to do that on that page? [18:52] ;) [18:52] DEPRECATED: Implicit 'touch' subcommand assumed [18:52] unknown flag `list-channels' [18:53] Yes, where does it say to run "--list-channels" on that page? [18:53] on the original ubuntu 14.04 [18:53] the problem with that page is that the documentation hasn't been updated to reflect the changes in ubuntu-device-flash, since the introduction of snappy [18:54] how exactly is that page "wrong"? [18:54] with the new version, you have to run "ubuntu-device-flash query --device mako --list-channels" [18:54] for list-channels anyway [18:54] but on original --arch=i386 is not working ;) [18:55] for the emulator i forgot [18:56] popey: basically, the way arguments are passed to ubuntu-device-flash has totally changed [18:56] yes, i know [18:56] but that is not what studio_ was saying. [18:56] studio_: said the page is wrong, and cited "--list-channels" which isn't mentioned anywhere on that page [18:56] so certain things on that page, and the pages linked to from it, don't work as described, when using the version from the PPA (which the page tells you to use) on 14.04 [18:56] popey: it is mentioned on a page linked from that page [18:57] https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/image-channels/ [18:57] well the good news is there is a "Report a bug on this site " link at the bottom [18:57] shouldnt have used that html stuff then ...
