| maclesea | hi, I have an Ubuntu Touch Nexus 4 latest updates (devel channel) - how do I get my Google contacts to sync to the phone? I have tried this, but to no avail: http://askubuntu.com/questions/360554/how-do-i-sync-google-contacts | 00:45 |
|---|---|---|
| wxl | maclesea: how many contacts do you have? | 00:52 |
| maclesea | 150+ | 00:52 |
| maclesea | I'm a very popular person ;-) | 00:53 |
| wxl | that may be part of the problem | 00:53 |
| wxl | i have a lot too and i'm having the same problem | 00:54 |
| wxl | with -devel-proposed | 00:54 |
| wxl | have you tried the adb solution? | 00:54 |
| maclesea | yes - it said it could not connect to Gnome keyring...I'll need to run through it again to get you the exact error | 00:55 |
| wxl | harumph | 00:56 |
| wxl | i have "no such datastore" | 00:56 |
| maclesea | I had to guess my way through some of it...the instructions are out of date | 00:56 |
| wxl | did you try adding --keyring=no? | 00:56 |
| maclesea | in the command where you enter "Google_Contacts" I switched that to "Google" | 00:57 |
| maclesea | that got me past the "no such datastore" issue | 00:58 |
| wxl | bah wow this isn't working for me either | 01:01 |
| maclesea | yeah, it's kinda lame :-\ it's set up to sync out of the box...it just doesn't do it... I wonder if the official Ubuntu Touch phones that are being sold have the same issue... | 01:05 |
| wxl | you should file a bug | 01:05 |
| wxl | but meanwhile you might want to switch to the rtm channel and see | 01:05 |
| maclesea | yeah, I'll file a bug... thanks for your time :-) | 01:09 |
| Nikesh | Which touch devices does Ubuntu run best on? | 01:54 |
| elimisteve | Nikesh: Canonical officially supports the Nexus 4 | 02:01 |
| elimisteve | and the new Aquaris from BQ just came out, as you've probably heard | 02:01 |
| elimisteve | rumor has it that the Meizu MX4 -- which has much better specs than those other 2 phones -- will be on display at Mobile World Congress in about 2 weeks, running Ubuntu Touch | 02:02 |
| Nikesh | Ahh | 02:02 |
| Nikesh | awesome! | 02:02 |
| elimisteve | Sounds like Ubuntu Touch runs pretty well on the Nexus 5, but I'm not sure everything works | 02:03 |
| elimisteve | I'm currently deciding between buying a Nexus 4, and waiting at least a few months to buy the MX4 (I'm in the US) | 02:03 |
| Nikesh | Would you use either of them with a carrier, or just as a tablet? | 02:08 |
| elimisteve | Nikesh: I'm not expecting Ubuntu Touch to be my daily driver/main phone quite yet, so I plan to use my Nexus 5 (running Android) as a wifi hotspot that the Ubuntu Touch device connects to to get internet access | 02:10 |
| elimisteve | that drains both batteries, but at least I'll have 4G internet on both, and use Ubuntu Touch more and more until it's the only phone I need :-) | 02:10 |
| Nikesh | Ah, awesome | 02:11 |
| elimisteve | I need to be able to do encrypted SMS, tethering, and a couple other things that I don't think Ubuntu Touch can do at present | 02:11 |
| Nikesh | Btw, do you have any experience with any Android laptops? They seem interesting.. | 02:11 |
| elimisteve | I don't. I'm on a Chromebook right now, whose SSD I replaced with a much bigger one, and threw Xubuntu on here | 02:12 |
| elimisteve | so that's what I've done, cheap laptop-wise | 02:12 |
| Nikesh | Ah, how do you find Xubuntu functions on it? | 02:13 |
| elimisteve | it's great, thanks to https://www.distroshare.com/distros/get/14/ | 02:13 |
| Nikesh | I asked about Chromebooks in #ubuntu and was quickly shutdown.. one person said that it "doesn't truly run ubuntu" | 02:13 |
| elimisteve | which customized Xubuntu to work well on the Acer C720 Chromebook | 02:14 |
| elimisteve | well ChromeOS can't do everything I need, so I can understand not being content with that | 02:14 |
| Nikesh | Yes, ChromeOS can't do everything I need, but the Chromebook hardware is appealing to me, for that it is very lightweight | 02:14 |
| Nikesh | I mostly do web development with vim/node/testing in browsers, and occasionally image editing in gimp | 02:15 |
| elimisteve | but the hardware is solid, especially for $340! I basically have an $800 laptop for $400 http://smile.amazon.com/Acer-C720-Chromebook-11-6-Inch-4GB/dp/B00FNPD1OY/ | 02:15 |
| Nikesh | So I am looking for a device that is light, but has good performance for those tasks | 02:15 |
| Nikesh | Thanks for the links | 02:15 |
| elimisteve | cool. I'm a Go/Python/JS developer and use this machine for that purpose | 02:15 |
| Nikesh | Ah awesome | 02:16 |
| elimisteve | this one's a bit better: http://smile.amazon.com/Acer-C720-3404-11-6-Inch-Chromebook-Granite/dp/B00KOUIZBC/ | 02:16 |
| Nikesh | Ah, and you say that you upgraded the SSD? | 02:17 |
| elimisteve | Nikesh: yup, using this guide -- http://www.androidcentral.com/how-upgrade-ssd-your-acer-c720-chromebook | 02:18 |
| Nikesh | Thanks! | 02:19 |
| Nikesh | What size do you have on it? | 02:19 |
| Nikesh | So the C720 isn't ARM, then? | 02:19 |
| elimisteve | bought the 128GB one for $65 | 02:19 |
| elimisteve | http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EZ2E8NO/ | 02:20 |
| elimisteve | going from a 32GB SSD to a 128GB SSD is huge :-). If I need more than 100GB of data stored locally, I can put it on an external drive | 02:21 |
| elimisteve | soon I hope to run Ubuntu literally everywhere! Desktop, laptop, servers, and soon -- smartphone | 02:22 |
| elimisteve | I didn't buy the convergence story at all when I first heard it, but the way that people keep buying smartphones but needing bigger screens or better keyboards, it seems to be happening... | 02:23 |
| Nikesh | hm, convergence story? | 02:23 |
| elimisteve | yes, see many talks from Mark Shuttleworth, and http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-Convergence-Is-Working-Check-Out-Grreat-Flashback-App-Video-461548.shtml | 02:24 |
| Nikesh | Funny, I've really wanted a Chromebook for its hardware, but I didn't want to give up Ubuntu. I'm happy you've shared all this! | 02:26 |
| Nikesh | The RAM cannot be upgraded? | 02:28 |
| Nikesh | Do you have a link for how to install HugeGreenBug's Xubuntu? Would you say it runs natively, or like someone in #ubuntu said, it runs on top of ChromeOS? | 02:37 |
| elimisteve | Nikesh: RAM can't be upgraded, no; it's 4GB forever | 02:38 |
| elimisteve | Nikesh: it absolutely does not run on top of ChromeOS | 02:38 |
| elimisteve | it natively runs on this device | 02:38 |
| elimisteve | ChromeOS is gone | 02:38 |
| Nikesh | ah, good :D | 02:38 |
| Nikesh | What's the install process? Do you have a link to a guide perhaps? | 02:40 |
| elimisteve | looking... | 02:40 |
| elimisteve | you must enable Legacy Boot mode, so you can install a non-ChromeOS OS http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-information-for-chrome-os-devices/acer-c720-chromebook#TOC-Developer-Mode | 02:41 |
| Nikesh | Do you use a flash drive to install? | 02:42 |
| elimisteve | then I think I wrote Xubuntu to an SD card, then booted the Chromebook with that | 02:42 |
| Nikesh | Aha | 02:42 |
| elimisteve | the forums in https://www.distroshare.com/distros/get/14/ are VERY helpful | 02:43 |
| elimisteve | from that DistroShare page -- | 02:43 |
| elimisteve | How to install: | 02:43 |
| elimisteve | - Follow this guide: http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/764181-how-to-install-linux-on-an-acer-c720-chromebook. It explains how to install Bodhi Linux instead of standard Ubuntu and also explains how to dual boot. Just replace the Bodhi Linux iso with the one from this site. | 02:43 |
| elimisteve | works great, and I'm probably about to set a friend up with the same configuration | 02:43 |
| elimisteve | it's light enough to carry around at < 3lbs, it's fast thanks to 4GB RAM and the SSD, and because Xubuntu is a light-weight OS | 02:44 |
| elimisteve | recommended for sure! | 02:44 |
| elimisteve | anyway, I must go for now | 02:44 |
| Nikesh | Thanks for all the help | 02:44 |
| elimisteve | I want the MX4, but I may just get a Nexus 4 so I can develop apps now :-D hard to wait... | 02:44 |
| elimisteve | you bet, Nikesh | 02:44 |
| kyoei | Can anyone get notifications from the gmail app or Dekko? Is there anyway to set a polling interval? | 03:07 |
| elimisteve | kyoei: don't know, but I have a ton of questions like that for myself and may buy a Nexus 4 to install Ubuntu Touch onto so I can answer them all :-) | 03:14 |
| elimisteve | kyoei: I've been told that Ubuntu Touch can be run in the emulator that comes with the ubuntu-sdk package | 03:15 |
| kyoei | elimisteve: I have N4, with touch installed. I was running devel channel, but just changed to rtm. Seem to be getting notifications now, but still don't get push, and can't set polling interval. | 03:27 |
| kyoei | elimisteve: Also, doesn't seem to be anyway to get notifications from dekko | 03:27 |
| Nikesh | elimisteve: what do you think of the C720's battery life? Also, does 4GB seem to suffice for your development needs? What are your heaviest applications and how do they perform? I am trying to decide between this Chromebook and a regular laptop around the same price with a bit better performance/ram/processor, but heavier.. | 03:33 |
| kyoei | Nikesh: I have c720 running ubuntu mate. It's the old 2g version. Works great. Flashed johnlewis firmware after removing write-protect screw, then coreboot. | 03:43 |
| kyoei | Nikesh: Battery life is 6-8 hours easy | 03:43 |
| Nikesh | Hm, i wonder what johnlewis firmware is? coreboot? | 03:46 |
| Nikesh | elimisteve: what about printing and scanning? | 03:58 |
| elimisteve | Nikesh: yes I get good battery life on my C720. For some reason I got better battery life when using Bodhi Linux, and not as good on Xubuntu, but it's still good. Not sure exactly what it is | 04:02 |
| elimisteve | Nikesh: well once you have Xubuntu installed, I mean, it's a regular, full Linux distro, so there shouldn't be any limitations there | 04:03 |
| elimisteve | printing over the network or via USB should work fine | 04:03 |
| elimisteve | I will say that having just 2 USB ports kinda sucks | 04:03 |
| Nikesh | aha | 04:04 |
| Nikesh | thanks for all the feedback | 04:04 |
| elimisteve | sure | 04:05 |
| Nikesh | what's the most intensive thing you use it for, and how well does it perform? | 04:05 |
| Nikesh | I am on a tiny 1.6ghz atom/1gb ram netbook, so most anything will feel faster, but I really want to make a wise upgrade. | 04:07 |
| elimisteve | Nikesh: the most intensive thing... having 50+ tabs open is pretty intensive | 04:09 |
| elimisteve | running all 4 components of a distributed system, each in its own Docker container, works really well | 04:10 |
| elimisteve | never had issues with the CPU, but for my use cases, if I have enough browser tabs open, I can run out of RAM | 04:10 |
| elimisteve | I used a netbook for a few years before I got 2 Chromebooks, and going from 1-2GB of RAM and a 5400rpm HD to 4GB RAM and an SSD makes a world of difference | 04:12 |
| Nikesh | sounds pretty good. i can barely have more than 4 tabs open.. | 04:12 |
| Nikesh | i have to make very conservative browser navigations | 04:12 |
| elimisteve | but read other reviews for sure :-) | 04:13 |
| Nikesh | Chromebooks seem to be the cheapest way to get a lightweight laptop with an SSD | 04:13 |
| elimisteve | my co-workers have 16GB of RAM on their laptops, and that would be awesome | 04:13 |
| elimisteve | agreed | 04:13 |
| Nikesh | 16gb, wow | 04:13 |
| elimisteve | portability is really important to me, but not to most people | 04:13 |
| elimisteve | yeah, but those are like $1300 or $1600 | 04:13 |
| Nikesh | my budget is <=500 right now | 04:14 |
| Nikesh | and yes, portability is quite important to me, too | 04:14 |
| Nikesh | even just around my own house :) | 04:14 |
| elimisteve | ah | 04:19 |
| elimisteve | ha okay then, a Chromebook sounds like a good choice | 04:19 |
| Nikesh | yeah! :D | 04:30 |
| Nikesh | btw, do you use any mini pcs for cloud storage? | 04:50 |
| Nikesh | maybe better to just get an external usb hdd | 04:55 |

| elimisteve | What's the best/easiest way to run Ubuntu Touch on my Nexus 5? MultiROM? Is there anything can't do with the MultiROM version that I _can_ do by installing UT onto my N5 some other way? | 09:13 |
| elimisteve | ...okay, running Ubuntu Touch on my Nexus 5 thanks to MultiROM | 10:20 |
| dobby5 | Moin ich hoffe einfach mal das jemand hier deutsch kann weiß jemand von euch ob es eine Ubuntu touch version für sony xperia z 2 gibt ? | 10:39 |
| dobby5 | Hello, does anyone of you whether it 's An Ubuntu Touch version for the Sony Xperia z2 ? | 10:41 |
| svij | dobby5: it's not listed here (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices), so no. | 11:06 |
| elimisteve | I'm getting permissions errors 'sudo apt-get update' on Ubuntu Touch on my Nexus 5, running via MultiROM | 11:08 |
| elimisteve | I've been instructed not to 'apt-get upgrade', so don't worry -- I won't do that | 11:08 |
| elimisteve | I've even enabled developer mode | 11:08 |
| elimisteve | and rebooted | 11:08 |
| elimisteve | Any idea how to safely mount / as rw instead of ro | 11:08 |
| elimisteve | ? | 11:08 |
| elimisteve | "W: Not using lockeing for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock" is the error | 11:09 |
| elimisteve | is mounted read-only, and /var is on the same partition as /, so that seems to be the issue | 11:09 |
| elimisteve | nevermind, found the answer at http://askubuntu.com/a/399723/125596 | 11:11 |
| ogra_ | you can use the phablet-config command from the phablet-tools package (in the equally named PPA), it has a --writable-image option | 11:13 |
| svij | is there a working script for creating screenshots over adb for krillin? This doesn't work → http://people.canonical.com/~j-lallement/touch/mirfbdump | 11:13 |
| ogra_ | svij, phablet-screenshots from phablet-tools | 11:13 |
| ogra_ | err | 11:13 |
| ogra_ | phablet-screenshot ... no s | 11:14 |
| svij | ogra_: thx | 11:14 |
| ogra_ | you want the version from the phablet-tools PPA | 11:14 |
| ogra_ | (unless you run vivid on your PC :) ) | 11:14 |
| svij | or how can I fix that the speaker symbol are present when doing it through the buttons | 11:14 |
| ogra_ | you cant ... a fix is in the works though | 11:16 |
| svij | ah I see, so it's not my fault. | 11:16 |
| ogra_ | until then phablet-screenshott is your best option | 11:16 |
| ogra_ | no, it is unity8's fault :) | 11:16 |
| * svij needs to find his ubuntu laptop… | 11:17 | |
| popey | i have my own odd screenshot taking script | 11:25 |
| popey | which automatically resizes the pic and then uploads to my webspace | 11:25 |
| popey | then echo's the url so you can copy/paste it easily | 11:26 |
| zapa_ | any idea when the next ubuntu flash sale will happen? Got my yearly bonus from work! | 11:45 |
| ogra_ | zapa_, not sure, but surely soon | 11:50 |
| zapa_ | couldn | 11:51 |
| zapa_ | couldn't get it last sale! Went into a meeting 4 minutes after it started and the site kept hiding the payment details! | 11:51 |
| zapa_ | hoping things will be less stressed now! And with the bonus, I can get the E4.5 and have enough for a possible future ubuntu tablet! | 11:51 |
| ogra_ | yeah, it was totally overloaded | 11:52 |
| ogra_ | seems bq wasnt actually expecting such a run :) | 11:52 |
| zapa_ | no one was! | 11:52 |
| zapa_ | co-workers kept joking saying I'll be one of the 4 costumers! | 11:52 |
| ogra_ | haha | 11:52 |
| zapa_ | wooho, finall have Mutant Gangland running on N4 with ubuntu | 12:07 |
| zapa_ | runs like crap though | 12:08 |
| ogra_ | zapa_, well, you might need to make the framework support MIr properly | 12:12 |
| svij | ogra_: phablet-screenshot works fine, thanks for the hint | 12:12 |
| ogra_ | or is that html5 based ? | 12:12 |
| zapa_ | yeah, lots of work before I can move the games to it. | 12:12 |
| zapa_ | ogra_: nope, C++ + SDL/GLUT depending on which host I'm using. First time "porting" something. | 12:12 |
| ogra_ | ah | 12:13 |
| ogra_ | well, Mir understands SDL2 afaik | 12:13 |
| zapa_ | yep! Was thinking of rolling my own SDL2 framework using sturmflut's github template, but it doesn't run on the device (it does deploy) | 12:13 |
| ogra_ | he is usually around in this channel during the week ... i'm sure he'll happily help | 12:14 |
| zapa_ | and since most of my game's code is in LUA, I'd just need to setup the backend for handling images | 12:14 |
| ogra_ | nice | 12:14 |
| elimisteve | definitely a good sign that BQ wasn't ready! | 12:17 |
| elimisteve | for all that demand, I mean | 12:17 |
| zapa_ | they sold out twice, right? Would that mean they sold a batch that was prepared for another sale? | 12:19 |
| ogra_ | might be, but they are surely able to raise the order at the factory quickly to compensate for that | 12:23 |
| zapa_ | would it take ~1 week to produce 12K phones? | 12:26 |
| ogra_ | no idea :) | 12:26 |
| elimisteve | ...just SSH'd into my Nexus 5 running Ubuntu Touch... installed nmap, htop, and go... this is awesome! | 12:42 |
| elimisteve | great work, everyone! | 12:43 |
| zapa_ | ^ yep! With UbuntuTouch I can finally feel like I have a real computer in my pocket | 12:48 |
| elimisteve | seriously | 12:48 |
| elimisteve | I had a Sharp Zaurus in 2004, which allowed me to do some cool things, but | 12:48 |
| elimisteve | having more than 64MB of RAM, or whatever it was, enables much more :-) | 12:53 |
| popey | heh | 12:53 |
| * ogra_ would recommend using a chroot over making the system writable though | 12:54 | |
| elimisteve | ogra_: why's that? | 12:55 |
| elimisteve | security? | 12:55 |
| ogra_ | upgradeability | 12:55 |
| elimisteve | of the OS? without losing data/packages? What do you mean? | 12:56 |
| ogra_ | if you make the system writeable you get a half working adb and a slightly broken system-image upgrade mechanism | 12:56 |
| ogra_ | err | 12:56 |
| ogra_ | s/adb/apt/ | 12:56 |
| elimisteve | apt is working so far. What's broken? | 12:57 |
| ogra_ | using a chroot you dont need to break the system-image setup and apt will fully work | 12:57 |
| elimisteve | and what would initial the chroot? | 12:57 |
| ogra_ | you wont be able to upgrade | 12:57 |
| elimisteve | someone in here said that 'apt-get upgrade' could brick the device | 12:57 |
| ogra_ | the readonly setup uses bind mounts into a writable partition for the writable bits | 12:57 |
| elimisteve | I installed UT from MultiROM on a N5, if that matters | 12:58 |
| ogra_ | dpkg uses hard links when unpacking pakcage upgrades ... | 12:58 |
| ogra_ | so if an existing package is upgraded and dpkg tries to replace the binary it will fail when trying to create a hardlink across partitions | 12:58 |
| ogra_ | that means at some point your apt setup will break | 12:59 |
| elimisteve | hmm | 12:59 |
| ogra_ | OTOH ... system-image uses diff upgrades against the readonly fs ... they get applied on toop of the install | 12:59 |
| popey | zapa_: http://mutantgangland.com/ is your game? | 13:00 |
| ogra_ | if you change it by making it writable your changes will get reverted with the next system-image upgrade | 13:00 |
| elimisteve | ogra_: that sounds very clean | 13:00 |
| elimisteve | ogra_: where can I read about this specific chroot setup? | 13:00 |
| ogra_ | install deboostrap and read up about how to use it (there is tons of docs ) .... then just create a chroot in /home/phablet | 13:01 |
| zapa_ | popey: yep | 13:01 |
| popey | nice! | 13:01 |
| ogra_ | then you can: chroot /home/phablet/mychroot ... and use apt cleanly in there | 13:01 |
| zapa_ | it's offline from buying it for a little while. Going to open it up again once I'm done with alpha 2 and some legal papers (VAT stuff changed, lots of paperwork here to take care off) | 13:02 |
| zapa_ | thinking of putting it up for free on ubuntu touch to get some traction going | 13:02 |
| popey | that would be awesome | 13:02 |
| popey | if you need testers on the bq devices, let us know, some of us have them ㋛ | 13:02 |
| zapa_ | going to try and get one! You received yours already? | 13:02 |
| zapa_ | last I checked when the website was barely working it would ship to me in march | 13:03 |
| zapa_ | or arrive in march (can't remember, doh) | 13:03 |
| popey | a few of us work for canonical | 13:03 |
| popey | so we had the android ones flashed with ubuntu for development / qa | 13:03 |
| popey | but yeah, i ordered one too, and ETA is march | 13:03 |
| zapa_ | agh got it! I have a N4 running ubuntu right now, but the phone is about to die (speakers are purring and the touch hates the borders.. This was happening since before I flashed it) | 13:04 |
| zapa_ | need a new phone and the BQ hit the right mark | 13:04 |
| elimisteve | ogra_: what kinds of changes to the system should I only make in the chroot? Package installations... anything else? | 13:05 |
| ogra_ | well, everything apt realted | 13:06 |
| elimisteve | touching anything in /usr/bin and dirs like that, too, I assume? | 13:06 |
| popey | zapa_: well, good luck with the porting, you know where we are if you need help. | 13:06 |
| zapa_ | thanks o/ | 13:06 |
| elimisteve | not sure what the system image encompases, but that's the read-only part I don't want to change, yes? What system image updates? | 13:07 |
| popey | ogra_: you choot on the device? | 13:10 |
| popey | how do you do that without debootstrap? | 13:10 |
| ogra_ | popey, sure, why not | 13:10 |
| ogra_ | you could use the ubuntu-core tarball | 13:11 |
| popey | ah | 13:11 |
| popey | although debootstrap has near zero dependencies | 13:11 |
| popey | all of which are on the phone | 13:11 |
| ogra_ | yes | 13:12 |
| ogra_ | you coudl just install ti as the only extra package and make the system ro again | 13:12 |
| ogra_ | snappy will make this all easier :) | 13:12 |
| elimisteve | sudo apt-get install debootstrap | 13:12 |
| popey | i dont want to make my phone rw | 13:12 |
| ogra_ | well, then grab the ubuntu-core tarball | 13:12 |
| ogra_ | untar ... chroot into it | 13:13 |
| ogra_ | (mount /proc, /dev and /sys (dont forget to unmount later) and just use apt) | 13:13 |
| popey | good call | 13:13 |
| popey | shame my sd card is vfat :) | 13:14 |
| popey | could do it on that | 13:14 |
| ogra_ | for advanced users: use an lxc container ;) | 13:14 |
| elimisteve | haven't made a chroot in a while | 13:14 |
| popey | \o/ lunch | 13:14 |
| elimisteve | thanks ogra_ | 13:14 |
| zapa_ | btw, any news on canonical going forward with BQ? Would love to see the aquarius E10 tablet with ubuntu on it :D | 13:20 |
| ogra_ | geez, we have only just started ... :) | 13:23 |
| ogra_ | no plans yet, let the first thing prove itself first :) | 13:24 |
| ogra_ | (while that first flash sale was surely a success, it needs show how persistent it is ...) | 13:25 |
| zapa_ | I know :D | 13:29 |
| zapa_ | it's just the fanboy in me being excited by his OS on portable gadgets | 13:30 |
| * zapa_ goes and draws the ubuntu logo on a piece of paper and sticks it on his altar | 13:31 | |
| elimisteve | ha | 13:33 |
| popey | :) | 13:33 |
| elimisteve | we don't know how many devices were actually sold during the first flash sale, do we? | 13:33 |
| popey | public numbers haven't been given out for commercial reasons | 13:33 |
| elimisteve | fair enough | 13:33 |
| popey | but I think it's fair to say demand was "more than bq expected" | 13:33 |
| elimisteve | yes | 13:34 |
| lord4163 | Is Ubuntu Phone based of legacy Ubuntu? Does it have apt-get for example? | 14:39 |
| popey | it is ubuntu | 14:41 |
| popey | it has apt on it but we don't generally recommend people use it | 14:41 |
| lord4163 | popey: How does the repo look like, does it have all binary packages? so I can install let's say iperf on it? | 14:42 |
| popey | you probably could | 14:43 |
| popey | if it's in the archive | 14:43 |
| popey | the phone has a fork of the archive, which doesn't have everything | 14:43 |
| lord4163 | cool | 14:44 |
| zapa_ | for a second there I was going to say "people shouldn't use apt? But how are they going to install the apps" | 14:49 |
| lord4163 | zapa_: I think popey wants us to install applications by click packages or snappy? | 14:51 |
| zapa_ | yeah but I forgot for a moment that ubuntu touch has a store :D | 14:51 |
| lord4163 | zapa_: has it? | 14:51 |
| zapa_ | yeah! | 14:52 |
| lord4163 | zapa_: unofficial one you mean? | 14:52 |
| zapa_ | nope! official app store | 14:52 |
| zapa_ | you can get scopes and apps from there | 14:52 |
| lord4163 | zapa_: I thought popey told something about an unofficial store on LUP | 14:53 |
| popey | https://appstore.bhdouglass.com/apps | 14:53 |
| popey | thats that | 14:53 |
| popey | unofficial web frontend to our store | 14:54 |
| popey | uses our ap | 14:54 |
| popey | *api | 14:54 |
| zapa_ | lord4163: (via google) http://ubuntulife.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Nexus-5-App-Store.png | 14:54 |
| zapa_ | need to learn how to take a screenshot on touch | 14:54 |
| popey | zapa_: phablet-screenshot, from the phablet-tools package from the ubuntu-sdk-team ppa | 14:54 |
| zapa_ | no way currently on the device itself? | 14:55 |
| popey | you can | 14:56 |
| popey | hold both vol up and vol down | 14:56 |
| popey | but there's a bug | 14:56 |
| popey | it captures the volume control on screen :( | 14:56 |
| zapa_ | good enough for development :D | 14:57 |
| popey | ya | 14:57 |
| zapa_ | unless the problem occurs in that region! I can always offset the viewport a bit | 14:57 |
| svij | where can I find the german localisation strings of the phone? | 14:57 |
| popey | svij: for specific apps? | 14:59 |
| svij | popey: nope, found two mistakes on the lock screen and in the settings | 15:00 |
| svij | I only found this → https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone-coreapps | 15:00 |
| popey | https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-system-settings | 15:00 |
| popey | https://translations.launchpad.net/unity8 | 15:01 |
| svij | ah | 15:01 |
| svij | thx | 15:01 |
| popey | http://projects.davidplanella.org/stats/utopic/de is good for "what's not been translated" | 15:01 |
| svij | I don't find the "Checking for updates…" string (system settings → updates) … | 15:07 |
| svij | oh, never mind. | 15:08 |
| ogra_ | svij,could be in ubuntu-download-manager i think | 15:08 |
| svij | found it: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-system-settings/trunk/+pots/ubuntu-system-settings/de/368/+translate | 15:09 |
| svij | weird thing is, my phone just shows "Aktualisierun…" instead of "Aktualisierungen werden gesucht …" | 15:09 |
| ogra_ | i doubt the whole line would fit anyway | 15:11 |
| ogra_ | but yeah, the text field seems to short | 15:11 |
| svij | ok, then it's not a translation error | 15:12 |
| ogra_ | more likely an app error, yeah | 15:12 |
| svij | but it does show "Checking for updates…" in English, which is actually longer than "Aktualisierun…" | 15:13 |
| ogra_ | yeah | 15:13 |
| svij | so the field is not too short? | 15:13 |
| ogra_ | dunno, file a bug and have someone check :) | 15:14 |
| svij | I'm not sure where exactly I should file a bug | 15:14 |
| ogra_ | against ubuntu--system-settings | 15:15 |
| svij | ok | 15:15 |
| svij | done | 15:24 |
| zapa_ | is there any way to pass CMAKE some arguments from within QTCreator? | 16:27 |
| zapa_ | UbuntuSDK* | 16:28 |
| zapa_ | and found it | 16:29 |
| ppd | hi. Anyone here on hammerhead with one of the latest vivid-proposed images? Are you able to open click apps beyond the splash screen? | 21:22 |

| ahayzen | NymeriaFR, if you are looking to do torrenting on your ubuntu-touch device, look at the app called 'DowNow' | 21:29 |
| NymeriaFR | I would like create an app for download podcast by .torrent | 21:30 |
| ahayzen | NymeriaFR, probably best to look at how they have done it as they have used libtorrent https://code.launchpad.net/downow | 21:32 |
| NymeriaFR | I search on ubuntu store | 21:33 |
| NymeriaFR | there is now app for 'downow' | 21:33 |
| NymeriaFR | I'm looking source code | 21:40 |
| NymeriaFR | it seems use docker | 21:40 |
| NymeriaFr | Hello guys | 22:30 |
| NymeriaFr | If I use docker for one of my application, is install docker image each time I lunch the application or just once ? | 22:30 |
