s7haboHi everione! One friend of mine just got his german version of  BQ ubuntu phone and we noticed that some core apps need some better translations. We would like to make some sugesstions but I dont' now how. Can someone pleasretell us where we can make the proposals06:20
PleurodesedI got my bq ubuntu phone woooo!!07:29
PleurodesedI messed it up already waaaaa!! :(07:29
Pleurodesedhere's how to mess up your ubuntu phone in a few simple steps:07:31
PleurodesedStep 1: Lock it with a pin.07:31
PleurodesedStep 2: Download the terminal.07:31
PleurodesedStep 3: Change the password with the command passwd07:32
PleurodesedStep 4: Get locked out because lock screen doesn't admit characters07:32
Pleurodesedluckily it was rather easy to hard-reset!07:51
PleurodesedOK question:08:39
PleurodesedI can't sudo apt install because dpkg lock files are set to readonly even for root08:39
Pleurodesedhow bad of an idea would it be to enable write permissions?08:39
Pleurodesedare we meant NOT to use apt-get? I want to install git :(08:40
Talustushehe08:54
Pleurodesedooooh now I see the read-write mode09:06

xhoch3hello o/15:33
xhoch3I received my Ubuntu Phone today :)15:34
popey\o/15:34
* popey is jealous15:34
xhoch3mixed feelings about it15:34
popeyunderstandable.15:34
popeyfirst device on the market, platform isn't complete yet.15:35
xhoch3well, also chosing a low budget device wasn't maybe the most clever idea15:35
popeyi think it was the _best_ idea15:36
xhoch3it's ok, as a developer I understand and I value it. But this could really be end when headed towards "normal" users15:36
popeyaim to make sure it works on the lowest thing we can15:36
popeyit flies on faster devices15:36
popeyit's good discpline to make stuff work on midrange or low end devices15:37
popeybut I understand the frustration.15:37
xhoch3the problem is it crouches on the first official device :P15:37
xhoch3which is bad advertising15:37
xhoch3lots of stuttering, more than 1st gen android devices15:37
popeythe good news is you'll get software updates for it :)15:38
popeyit's not like we shipped a device and forgot about it.15:38
popeybut yeah, I certainly see how a slow device in 2015 can be annoying15:38
xhoch3and it needs a lot more polishing15:39
xhoch3ubuntu logo isn't anti-aliased in system settings15:39
xhoch3no gesture unlock15:40
popeyI'd not noticed that, thanks, will feed that back15:40
k1l_if you file bugs i am sure people will try to make that better15:40
xhoch3where do I do that?15:40
popeydepends on the app - for system settings...15:40
popeyhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-system-settings/+bugs15:41
xhoch3below, device info15:41
popeyyeah, i see it now.15:41
xhoch3the last to items' logos aren't anti-aliased15:41
xhoch3=)15:41
popeyi suspect that's a toolkit bug15:41
xhoch3I work at a mobile app company15:41
popeydue to them being in a listview15:41
xhoch3I do that all day :P15:41
popeyalthough the plane looks okay15:41
popeyheh15:41
popeyhmm, its fine on my other device running vivid15:42
popeyso it may already be fixed, but waiting to land in an update15:42
xhoch3icons in the launcher look blurry15:42
xhoch3maybe something is wrong with scaling there15:42
popeyyeah, guess we're using an inexpensive algorithm for that15:43
* popey is making notes. don't feel you have to file bugs.15:43
popeyI'll take a look on monday15:43
xhoch3kk, it's weekend anyways15:44
xhoch3pinch zoom is supposed to work in the browser, right? Or am I holding it wrong? ;P15:44
popeylulz15:44
xhoch3oh, now it works15:45
xhoch3didn't work before15:45
popeyworks here15:45
xhoch3Heisenbug15:45
popeyi think it may depend on the flow of the page15:45
* popey makes a note15:45
popeyI know someone else raised that this week15:45
xhoch3I just went on google15:45
adrian47popey, hello15:45
popeyadrian47: hi15:45
popeyyeah, first site i was on didn't, then news.bbc.co.uk did15:46
xhoch3is there a list of high-priority apps that need to be developed?15:46
popeythat depends who you ask15:46
popeyeveryone has their own idea of what's a priority15:47
xhoch3btw, embracing Qt was a good move15:47
popey+115:47
popeywe have people working on some of the common things people ask for like native email client.15:47
xhoch3we already develop apps with QML15:47
popeybut we could always do with more people to help15:47
popeyoh nice!15:47
adrian47i used rtm prenstalled with my port  now, and it boots a lot faster, i didn't have problems with wake up,  it worked a lot faster, unfortunately  removed some folders (/usr/share  maliit hunspell fonts locale-langpack) so it wasn't usable.15:48
popeyyeah, no osk is going to be hard to use15:48
adrian47I will try it again in about hour :)15:48
popeyxhoch3: one of the community members made a nice wishlist of things he'd like to see - I agree with many of his suggestions...15:49
popeyhttps://sturmflut.github.io/ubuntu/touch/2015/02/15/ubuntu-touch-app-wishlist/15:49
xhoch3ok, where can I get a kickstart in how an app for Ubuntu Phone is deployed?15:49
popeyhttp://developer.ubuntu.com/15:50
popeyyou develop in the SDK (qtcreator based) and it generates a "click" package which is uploaded to the click store.15:50
popeyit's run through some automated testing and if it passes, it's available for consumers almost immediately15:50
xhoch3http://developer.ubuntu.com/en/publish/15:50
popeylike minutes, not days15:50
xhoch3oh, cool15:51
popeyyup, thats it15:51
xhoch3wow, found device instantly15:53
popeyyou use ubuntu on your pc?15:53
xhoch3yes, for years my main system15:53
popeyok, groovy15:54
xhoch3really, I have to use MacOS when doing iOS apps and I feel like being in the stone age15:54
popeyhah15:54
adrian47I am moving these folders to other partition, symlink is good solution in that case?15:54
popeyAs a developer, we'd welcome feedback on how you find the process of getting started developing with / for / on Ubuntu.15:54
xhoch3xcode loses at all frontiers against QtCreator/Ubuntu SDK15:55
popeyso if you have feedback on that whole process, the documentation etc, feel free to let me / us have it.15:55
popeythats a good start ㋛15:55
xhoch3it's slow, full of errors and even crashes from time to time, plus doing stuff in objective c is rather advanced hackery than developing15:56
xhoch3that's why I was so excited about Ubuntu Phone15:56
popeyI thought people considered xcode to be high quality - comparable to visual studio15:56
popeybetter documentation for one15:56
xhoch3the usual blah15:56
popeyhah15:57
xhoch3you won't convince hardcore apples15:57
xhoch3that's a law15:57
xhoch3everything made by apple is better by definition, no matter how crappy it is technically, but we have good laugh regularly :)15:58
popey:)15:59
* popey goes foraging for food.16:00
popeyhave fun with your new toy xhoch3 :)16:01
xhoch3heh thx16:01
xhoch3oh, the Ubuntu SDK examples use cmake :(16:17
xhoch3popey, what was the idea behind doing Ubuntu SDK examples in cmake and rejecting qmake? I would regard this as a a major defect16:22
xhoch3oh noes, I see the core apps use cmake, too16:26
peat-psuwitrsalveti, "krillin" is the dual-sim device, right? How pulseaudio knows which sim (modem?) it needs to route voice to speaker?16:33
xhoch3popey, the faq says: If you want to publish an Ubuntu SDK app or scope for mobile devices, sign up for free to get a Software Store account.16:45
xhoch3actually, no link is given here where to sign up exactly16:46
=== Foxtrot-Laptop is now known as Foxtrot
xhoch3did anyone manage to deploy an app build with qmake? I really need qmake, since I am using 3rd party dependency software that relies on Qt's default build system17:26
xhoch3I just get: 18:24:41: The process "/home/jacob/.config/ubuntu-sdk/qmake-ubuntu-sdk-14.10-armhf-click" exited with code 1.17:27
xhoch3Error while building/deploying project untitled (kit: Ubuntu Device (GCC armhf-ubuntu-sdk-14.10-utopic))17:27
xhoch3When executing step 'qmake'17:27
xhoch3turns out I don't have qmake-ubuntu-sdk-14.10-armhf-click17:32
adrian47even on rtm my device hangs when connecting by ssh :((17:42
xhoch3adrian47, you're also doing your first steps with development on Ubuntu Touch?17:48
adrian47xhoch3, I am porting it :)17:48
xhoch3ah, to which device?17:49
adrian47To Desire HD loved by me.17:51
xhoch3I got the Aquaris E4.5 today =)17:54
adrian47And how you rate it? :)17:59
xhoch3you must be an Ubuntu fan to like it, nothing to show to your friends18:06
xhoch3feels cheap in your hand, because of the plastic, very light for its size18:07
xhoch3performance is bad18:07
xhoch3I'd say it's overpriced by 30-40%18:08
xhoch3adrian47, I ordered the phone out of enthusiasm, but I would wait for a better quality device if you can wait18:10
xhoch3even the outdated Nexus 4 I own feels luxurious in direct comparison, because of th metal frame and glass18:11
adrian47xhoch3, thanks, i don't want to buy it because i don't like it's look :)18:23
studio_hi18:51
studio_i have a question about external drives. how to unmount them via gui?18:52
popeyWe don't have a UI for that yet.18:54
studio_ok, still in work?18:55
popeyI dont know of any plan to add it18:55
studio_ok18:55
CereS2016Hi, i inserted a Sim Card in a Nexus 4 flashed with ubuntu devel-propose. It keeps saying no SIM Card present..19:00
CereS2016installed it w/o sim card and today got a new sim card19:01
xhoch3CereS2016, I had that problem too, you need to remove SIM pin19:01
xhoch3Nexus4 cannot handle it19:02
CereS2016thx ok, can this be done in terminal?19:02
xhoch3ie, boot in another device, remove the pin, then insert in N4 again and you're up19:02
CereS2016ok, thx19:03
xhoch3brb19:03
popeyI thought we supported SIM PIN now19:05
studio_a Gembird UHB-FD1 Hub is fully supported under Ubuntu-Touch via OTG, but when i connect a mouse i get no mouse pointer. is that normal?19:16
CereS2016removed sim pin - still not working :-(19:16
studio_when i am moving the mouse to the to the left i can see the shortcut/starter but no mouse pointer. any idea?19:31
studio_btw. i am using ubuntu-touch/devel-proposed if it can help ...19:48
xhoch3CereS2016, then I don't know :(19:53
falcusNetwork indicator tells me I am offline. Is there a way to debug or fix this?20:07
falcusBattery was at 0%, not sure if this is related20:07
falcusRebooted several times and changes SIM twice20:07
falcusanyone?20:40
studio_falcus, sorry, i am also still waiting for an answer ...20:41
falcusWhat is your issue about?20:44
studio_no mouse pointer20:45
falcusOk, can't help you with this one. Do you know what happens if I wipe the cache in the recovery mode? Maybe this will fix my issue but I don;t want to loose personal data20:46
studio_i never used wipe cache, just "ubuntu-device-flash touch --channel=ubuntu-touch/devel-proposed"20:48
studio_falcus, what data do you need to save?20:50
studio_falcus, what are your "personal datas"? contacts, settings, etc. ?20:56
falcustext history, Contacts, maybe call history, maybe browser cache, maybe installed apps and settings20:58
studio_hmm, "good question" !!! i am still "trying" to understand the "basics" from ubuntu-touch ...20:59
studio_i do not understand, that evolution is not the default e-mail-client in ubuntu-touch, but evolution-tools are ...21:02
studio_there is another bug in the video player, it can handle mpga but not ac3 nor switch between mpga/ac3.21:27
studio_pls, try this for exp: http://distribution.bbb3d.renderfarming.net/video/mp4/bbb_sunflower_1080p_30fps_normal.mp421:29
DonkeyHoteialso, it cannot play ogg theora21:29
studio_ogg is working on my device!21:35
studio_uch, but hanging ...21:36
falcusPretty much nothing is working when it comes to file types21:38
studio_on second try ogg seems to be working!?21:40
falcusnot working: webp; webm, animated gif, svg, pdf, opus, flac, ...21:40
jkb_just installed vivid rel155. great work and super fast on aquaris 4.5.. But...Where have the home and nearby scopes gone.21:40
studio_jkb_, also filemanager and terminal is back in the image :)21:41
jkb_?21:44
studio_jkb_, have you seen that apps before in the image?21:44
xhoch3did anyone manage to compile an app with C++ code?21:47
xhoch3half of the examples I am running do not work ootb21:47
xhoch3on the Simple UI and Tabbed UI example work here21:47
jkb_studio_, well, I had to install them manually. Have not checked if they ar in th eimage now...21:48
studio_:)21:48
studio_jkb_, if you need the scopes from bq try to use "--channel=ubuntu-touch/devel-proposed/krillin.en"21:50
studio_but it is not worth ...21:51
popeystudio_: evolution doesn't work on mir, nor on 960x540 resolution devices, not touch devices without a mouse21:54
popeystudio_: so plenty of reasons not to use evolution21:54
jkb_studio_,  these just are bq things? where are the differences between those two images? You know? lot new to me.21:57
studio_popey, sorry, i do not understand, on a nexus for exp. the mouse pointer is working?21:58
popeystudio_: hang on, I was answering your question about evolution, not about mouse pointer21:59
popey21:02 < studio_> i do not understand, that evolution is not the default e-mail-client in ubuntu-touch, but  evolution-tools are ...21:59
popeythat one21:59
studio_ah ok21:59
studio_jkb_, try out by yourself, there is no description between "ubuntu-touch/devel-proposed/krillin.en" and "ubuntu-touch/devel-proposed", but i "think" "ubuntu-touch/devel-proposed/krillin.en" is bq22:03
popeyI suspect mouse cursor missing is just because we don't enable by default in mir22:04
studio_ok :)22:04
studio_popey, but why pplz here say OTG is not supported? for me it is working?!22:05
popeystudio_: it's not well tested22:10
studio_after i researched what OTG is, just a shortcut between pin 4 and 5, to be a USB-Host is is, as i think, just depending from the kernel and its "drivers" ... but it seems, as i was reading in the internet, to be a little problem with MTK ....22:14
studio__but back to ac3 and mpga. will ac3 supported in the near future?22:26
=== FlavioLemos is now known as FLtu14
=== FLtu14 is now known as lynxerfl14
studio__hmm, ...22:40
popeyno idea if we'll add ac322:40
studio__ok22:40
studio__on the bq e4.5 android-version it is supported22:41
