bzoltan_dragonkeeper:  the UI designer is useful only when you use stock Qt components and widgets. With Ubuntu  components is as useless as with any other custom created components. Sadly it is a fundamental flaw of the QtCreator, that the designer does not render custom components.04:49

zed123are there any ubuntu phone devs here?08:52
zed123i think it should be possible to download (free) apps without creating an account in ubuntu touch. firefox os allows this, so i see no reason why not ubuntu touch also.08:53

dadexix86hi akahroba10:19
akahrobamy friend is facing some difficulties porting ubuntu touch to LG Optimus G.10:21
akahrobaI wanna know if there is still anyone here who can help? He's facing demigod kernel crashes.10:22
dadexix86akahroba, there is already someone working on that, as you can see here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices . I think that it is better to directly contact that person :)10:25
dadexix86akahroba, and on that page there are also the links to the instructions on how to install it10:26
akahrobaThanks but actually he's not working on it. Haze028 stopped working on it a year ago and the stuff there is pretty old.10:32

brunch875issue is I'm not at home so I only have a charger but no USB10:46
brunch875is there any way I can use apport?10:46
brunch875before I reboot the device, that is10:47
Se7brunch875, if you put in standby and wake up it again works?10:48
brunch875nope10:49
brunch875I'm sure rebooting it will fix the issue though10:49
Se7think so10:49
brunch875I just want to take a snapshot of the process so I can send it to launchpad10:50
ogra_brunch875, if somethin crashed it will create a crash dump in /var/crash ... once you can submit a bug for unity8-dash, you can look up the .crash file in the security and privacy settings and point to its ID in the bug10:50
ogra_you should be fine to reboot ...10:50
brunch875neat10:51
Se7lol was looking at /var/crash from terminal and he crashed10:55
brunch875I just found a cable!10:55
Se7and terminal app doesn t work now...i got flat battery can be that?10:56
brunch875what's the procedure to report this?10:58
brunch875it seems to report automatically... does it?10:58
ogra_no, it only uploads the crash dump automatically ... it does not file a bug on your behalf or submit any personal info11:01
ogra_thats up to you to do in a bug reports11:02

g105bMy bq aquaris e4.5 takes a good 25 minutes to boot. Always has done. It flashes the bq logo constantly as if in an endless loop, but does eventually boot. How can I fix this?11:02
brunch875wow, that sure is long11:03
brunch875did you try a factory reset?11:03
g105bYep, tried that, also tried using a recovery image, but I was being guided by someone here rather than following any documentation.11:04
Se7ogra_, if i understand well the crash report will be automatically send ?11:05
g105bIf I try to flash the phone using `ubuntu-device-flash touch --channel=devel --bootstrap` while logged in as root, I get the following error message: mkdir /root/.cache: permission denied (whole transcript here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10694284/)11:06
brunch875hmmm maybe the device is just defective...11:13
ogra_Se7, if you didnt deny that in the welcome wizard when setting up your device, yes11:14
ogra_g105b, logged in as root ???11:14
Se7tnx11:14
ogra_Se7, you can turn that off in security and privacy in th settings at any point as well11:15
g105bogra_: `echo $USER` root11:15
ogra_why woould you loug in on *any* ubuntu system as root ?11:15
ogra_*log11:15
g105bogra_: Well I mean sudo -i11:15
ogra_yes, why ?11:15
ogra_what do you expect to gain from this ?11:16
g105bogra_: because I was getting a permission denied error, and nothing I could do (including being root) would stop it.11:16
g105bogra_: because xkcd.com/149/11:16
ogra_so you use --bootstrap ... that would fail on the locked down recovery ...11:17
g105bI don't know what --bootstrap does, I'm just following the only bit of documentation I can find at https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/installing-ubuntu-for-devices/11:18
ogra_http://askubuntu.com/questions/602035/how-do-i-use-ubuntu-device-flash-with-the-bq-aquaris-e4-511:19
ogra_see the second post11:20
ogra_and there is no need to ever be root with ubuntu-device-flash ... it doesnt even get tested in that context and might do harmful stuff11:20
g105bok I won't11:23
Se7opened for the first time the clock on bq phone, didn t set up location straight away but i did later with manual mode, the clock still give the message location service error. I enabed location but the message still11:29
brunch875Ugh... I wonder why SMS still cost money and why MMS are so ridiculously expensive12:19
brunch875people only use stuff like whatsapp or telegram nowadays12:20
Se7lol true :)12:20
brunch875and I bet it's just as expensive for the provider to send SMS12:20
Se7agree brunch87512:22
brunch875maybe it's just an obsolete technology12:23
brunch875I've never studied the mechanics behind SMS12:23
brunch875but TCP/IP is very reliable12:23
Se7i never studied at all :P12:23
brunch875they should probably just migrate the whole SMS stuff into TCP/IP12:24
brunch875and make it free for people who have an internet connection12:24

tareeI noticed there is a bug report for the clock app for not having a stopwatch, with the "importance:Undecided -> Wishlist". does anyone here know if that usually means "maybe in the future sometime", or more like "this will happen sometime soon"?15:32
taree(the clock app claim to have this functionality, but doesnt)15:33
Se7popey, i did my best now if admin reject i will ask in a different way..15:36
nik90taree: which bug report are you referring to?15:36

tareeoh sweet. I was thinking of maybe trying to make a simple stopwatch app, but if it's going to be included I'll just wait. thanks15:39
nik90taree: Wishlist meaning that its planned but still waiting on design or platform support15:40

ogra_haha15:44
ogra_if only i had one15:44
nik90ogra_: clock app doesn't have a designer.so most likely the priority for this is low atm. So I cant give a ETA.15:45
ogra_hmm, so if i have an app ... and the url-dispatcher wants to talk to the already running app, how do i get the data from the url dispatcher15:45
ogra_(in my app)15:46
ogra_is there any global property i can query or some such ?15:46
nik90ogra_: I thought there was a urihandler component provided by the sdk which one can you to get the data from the url dispatcher?15:46
* nik90 looks for the docs15:47
ogra_https://wiki.ubuntu.com/URLDispatcher doesnt really talk about the receiver side15:47
ogra_only about the calling one15:47
nik90ogra_: check out https://developer.ubuntu.com/api/qml/sdk-14.10/Ubuntu.Components.UriHandler/15:48

ogra_hmm, trying15:49
ogra_nik90, cool ! thats it, thanks15:51
nik90ogra_: yw15:55
tareerandom question while I'm here, is it problematic to use licenses that aren't listed in the DFSG? for example public domain and very permissive licenses?15:57
ogra_taree, do you mean in an ap in the store ?15:58
ogra_*app15:59
tareeyes, sorry I should have specified that.15:59
ogra_thats totally up to you15:59
ogra_the store doesnt expect any license, you can make your app totally free or totally closed15:59
tareeoh, I see, I thought it was open source only for some reason16:01
ogra_nah, we want big game companies to provide apps as much as we want opensource devs to do that :)16:01
nik90Elleo: the web store https://appstore.bhdouglass.com/ now lists Podbird as an essential app to have :) .. as a result we have been getting quite some reviews since the past few days16:09

nik90DanChapman, popey: The next release should bring theming support, translations, auto-delete of old episodes, haptic feedback.16:17
popey\o/16:19
popeysd card support would be nice :)16:19
* popey looks at his 32GB SD Card16:19
nik90I don't the app armor allows for that though popey (as much as podbird wants to use it)16:20
popeyyou can use read_file and write_file though16:20
nik90really? hmm I wasn't aware of that16:21
popeyforces manual review of the app when you submit to the store, is the downside16:21
DanChapmannik90: beru has an example of it https://github.com/rschroll/beru/blob/master/apparmor/beru.access.json16:22

ilarioregarding "cellular data": by default it is on, but I would suggest to set that to off by default (I've lost some euros before noticing that it was on...)17:07
juzzlinWhat's the default orientation in Ubuntu Touch? I mean if I port my Qt OpenGL game to Ubuntu Touch will it appear in the landscape mode by default like on Android?17:28
popeyjuzzlin: pretty sure you can detect it and force one orientation or the other17:35
popeylook at MvM in the store, it forces you to turn the phone landscape17:35
juzzlinFor example in Sailfish the application itself has to transform all input events and graphics from portrait to landscape and I think that's insane. So far my experience has been that those platforms that actually use Qt are the hardest to develop for in Qt (something other that Twitter and RSS clients) :)17:36
DonkeyHoteipopey: this is what happens when i try to play a video http://paste.ubuntu.com/10696198/17:37
popeyjuzzlin: ask mzanetti - he made MvM so he'd know17:48

ilariois there a way to import address book from the SIMs?18:05
ilariowhat's the point to have an active brightness slider when the "adjust automatically brightness" is active? (in such a case the slider has no effect)18:21
balahi18:35
balais there one18:35
mzanettijuzzlin, standard orientation is portrait and right now the app will rotate when the device is rotated (including input)18:58
mzanettijuzzlin, if you want landscape only, right now you'll probably run into the same problem as on sailfish18:59
mzanettijuzzlin, however, there's a bunch of branches waiting to land which greatly enhance the rotation experience for app developers18:59
mzanettiyou'll be able to specify supported orientations in the app's .desktop file and the app will start up in that orientation, including rotated input19:00
juzzlinmzanetti, that sounds great :)19:01
mzanettinot sure when it'll land in trunk though. probably soon after 15.04 is released and trunk is open for features again19:01
mzanettijuzzlin, if you want to get started with that now, there is a silo with all those branches. obviously it's a moving target right now so you'll hit issues until it is released19:01
juzzlinyeah, I guess I can wait a bit more :)19:03
mzanettijuzzlin, so right now you can start with development and just ignore the fact that that app rotates to portrait. and at some point in the future you'll just set one property and it'll be locked to landscape19:04
juzzlinmzanetti, I'm still developing the application for desktop anyway. Btw...will OpenGL work on Ubuntu touch via Qt5 without any QML stuff?19:07
mzanettijuzzlin, yes19:08
