karatsu@ubuntu dev team : congrate - i ve apt-get upgrade my bq phone => and it seems to help a lot on battery drain problem08:20
brunch875apt-get upgrade? I thought that killed the OS08:20

brunch875not me08:22
ogra_brunch875, yes, it will, but not immediately if you are lucky08:24
ogra_really depends on the packages it upgrades08:24
ogra_(not all are harmful)08:24
brunch875:D time to gamble?08:25
ogra_heh08:25
brunch875is 'factory reset' affected by apt-get upgrade?08:26
juzzlin_karatsu, my Bq had a really bad battery life until I discovered that media-scanner-service took constantly 50-100% of CPU so I removed my SD card08:26
brunch875last time I factory resetted, it didn't prompt for system updates08:26
juzzlin_obviously media-scanner-service crashed every time at some point and it never finished08:28
karatsui don t have many media on my sd card now08:29
brunch875that's some great tip juzzlin_08:30
brunch875I'll hit safely remove whenever I reboot the phone08:30
ogra_juzzlin_, did you file a bug ?08:34
juzzlin_ogra_, yes...or I actually commented on some older bug, but it seems that no-one is interested08:35
ogra_got the number ?08:35

juzzlin_ogra_, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mediascanner2/+bug/139861408:37
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1398614 in mediascanner2 (Ubuntu) "mediascanner-service-2.0 using large amounts of CPU" [High,Confirmed]08:37
ogra_"Each time I plug my external USB hard disk the mediascanner-service process is activ and is using large amount of CPU" ???08:38
ogra_you should really have opened a new one :)08:39
ogra_the SD card is quite different to an external USB disk ... we dont allow other filesystems than vfat on the SD for example ...08:40
ogra_so i guess if you use a normal SD card, formatted with the device tool etc, that deserves a separate bug08:40
juzzlin_Yeah, I will open a new one08:40
ogra_(and USB disk could easily hang scanning due to file permissions if there is no vfat filesystem on it )08:41

ogra_oh, and just FYI, i have a 64G SDXC card in my bq phone and am at the 4th day without charging, my battery is at 48%08:43
brunch875you don't play much with the phone, do you? I have the display on at almost all times :D08:44
ogra_yeah, i want to see how long it survives wiht minimal use :)08:44

ogra_http://i.imgur.com/6kKZVav.png08:45
ogra_the obligatory screenshot :)08:46
ogra_brunch875, my point is that my SD card doesnt cause battery drain obviously08:46
brunch875that's a shame for me; since my case is probably the same and thus it is only me who to blame.08:47
ogra_why would it be you to blame ?08:48
ogra_there is surely something wrong if an SD drains the battery and mediascanner crashes in a loop ...08:48
dbarth_mardy: sturmflut-work is also here ^^08:48
ogra_i'm just saying thats not the normal case08:48
brunch875I haven't checked if mine crashes like that. It's probably my fault since my device is probably behaving correctly08:49
mardydbarth_, sturmflut-work: OK, let's continue here then :-)08:49
brunch875(and I toy with it all day long)08:49
ogra_well, your SD should cause zero battery drain ... thats the point08:50
ogra_if it causes any, thats a bug08:50
brunch875I'll strip the SD card for today08:50
brunch875if I notice a massive battery gain, I'll look into it. Otherwise I'll assume it's alright.08:51

sturmflut-workThe SSL error was down to a captive WiFi portal10:52
dbarth_sturmflut-work: so you mean that the SSL error is solved; or the problem still happens?10:53
sturmflut-workdbarth_: The SSL error is solved, but the problem itself persists10:53
mardydbarth_: OA is fine, the problem is here: file:///opt/click.ubuntu.com/com.ubuntu.developer.webapps.googleplus/0.4/webview-override.qml:21:1: module "com.canonical.Oxide" version 1.4 is not installed10:53

nhainessturmflut-work: both at once!10:54
sturmflut-workArgh, thanks a lot. I kept trying combinations of a single volume button and the power button10:55
sturmflut-workmardy: Is the Oxide 1.4 module missing because this is not the most recent image? I'm still on r16 (the image the phone was shipped with) because we were looking for a possible bug in the updater11:00

=== MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch
jgdxpstolowski, isn't that in Settings -> About?11:39
sturmflut-workdbarth_, mardy: I think I found it. krillin r16 ships with liboxideqt-qmlplugin:armhf version 1.3.5-0ubuntu0.14.10.1~rtm, while r20 seems to come with version 1.4.2-0ubuntu0.14.10.1 .11:40
mardysturmflut-work: ok. Do you think that it's a but in the webapp? Maybe it should continue using oxide 1.3, it it uses the 14.10 framework11:42
bzoltanogra_:  do you have a minute for me? I have some silly questions :)11:44
ogra_there are no silly questions ...11:44
ogra_just ask :)11:44
seb128pstolowski, in the about panel11:44
bzoltanogra_:  I have a rootfs... and I would like to dump on it an other rootfs in a way that I can revert it if I want. Something like the image based update.11:45
bzoltanogra_:  what is the best way to do that?11:45
ogra_bzoltan, the image based update isnt revertable11:47
ogra_we actually replace files in the readonly space11:47
ogra_bzoltan, is that on a phone or for your build env stuff ?11:47
jgdxpstolowski, also, can you attach the USS log ?11:48
bzoltanogra_: I tell you what i want. I want an ubuntu-core-5.04 fw ... no toolchain, no APIs, no nothing... and I want to plug in whatever I need, pack it up and call it "bzoltan's cools SDK"11:48
bzoltanogra_:  so it is a build env stuff ...11:48
ogra_cool11:49
bzoltanogra_: No chrooting, no apt-get, no nothing ... just simple dumps, but controlled11:49
pstolowskiseb128, do i need a sim card to see it (cause i don't have one)?11:49
seb128pstolowski, I guess so11:49
seb128pstolowski, can you try to go to battery and try to open the subpanels there then?11:50
ogra_you can grab a rootfs tarball and push it into an img file you create ... then take your other part and push that into an img file too, thenuse overlayfs to merge them (with a third img file or a tmpfs to add writability)11:50
seb128pstolowski, well, in fact that's not going to help much...11:50
seb128pstolowski, I though maybe it was failing to resolve the plugin to load, but your video shows the update panel for some seconds, so it's correctly loading it11:50
seb128I've no clue about that issue :-/11:51
ogra_bzoltan, the mounting will require sudo though ... (there are sudo-less ways but more complicated)11:51
bzoltanogra_:  sudo is not a problem11:51
sturmflut-workmardy: I am not sure I fully understand the problem. Let me try. The webapp manifest claims that com.ubuntu.developer.webapps.googleplus_0.4 is based on "framework": "ubuntu-sdk-14.10", but it uses Oxide 1.4, which is not part of this framework, right?11:51
ogra_ok, well, then do two img files and a tmpfs in an overlayfs mount11:51
bzoltanogra_: but why do need image files in this process?11:52
pstolowskiseb128, battery panels look ok11:52
seb128pstolowski, ok, thanks for trying11:52
ogra_bzoltan, mount needs "devices" to mount ...11:52
sturmflut-workmardy: So Click thinks the app will run on my phone and allows the package to be installed, but then the app fails11:52
ogra_the img files are fake partitions11:52
pstolowskijgdx, USS?11:52
bzoltanogra_: ahh.. I see11:52
jgdxpstolowski, ubuntu system settings log at ~/.cache/upstart/application-legacy-ubuntu-system-settings-.log11:53
mardysturmflut-work: yes, that's my understanding as well11:53
bzoltanogra_:  so itis all about tar, img files, overlayfs and tmpfs11:53
ogra_bzoltan, so your img file actually needs a filesystem and you need to unpack the tarball into it while you have it mounted11:53
pstolowskijgdx, right. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10782125/11:54
ogra_right11:54
bzoltanogra_: nice, thanks for your help11:54
ogra_np11:54
ogra_ask again if you hit any roadblocks :)11:54
bzoltanogra_: I will :) The biggest blocker right now is to define and implement the real frameworks... the actual frameworks are too minimalistic for my taste. they just list .deb package names... no versions, no content, no API listing. So what I will do is a hierarchical framework (API definition) structure  what you can extensively plug in to a core tootfs.11:56
bzoltanogra_:  I will start with the UITK and the Qt frameworks on QML level... the C++ level is a bit tricky as it is all about ABIs and not APIs11:57
jgdxpstolowski, is that truncated? Maybe the one where you enter the updates panel got rotated? Could you enter the updates panel (recreating the symptom of the bug) and then re-upload the log?11:59
ogra_bzoltan, make sure to coordinate that with the snappy guys ... click will go away at some point and your framework needs to work in the snap world then12:00
pstolowskijgdx, oh wow, i cannot reproduce it now.. could going to updates the other way fix it? i could reproduce it tens of times before...12:01
jgdxpstolowski, Settings -> About -> Check… does not go blank?12:02
pstolowskijgdx, ah, ok, got it again now12:02
jgdxcool12:03
pstolowskijgdx, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10782180/12:03
jgdxmardy, do you have any way of asserting that an account is 'ok'?12:04
seb128jgdx, pstolowski, those "Components/PageWrapperUtils.js:30: TypeError: Cannot read property 'createObject' of null" seems are weird12:05
seb128jgdx, well, accounts seems ok since opening the panel from the main settings grid works and installing clicks from the dash as well...12:05
jgdxseb128, but can you recreate it?12:06
mardyjgdx: if it's about the U1 account I don't (other than checking that it exists), dobey should know better12:06
seb128jgdx, no, I can't :-/12:06
mardyjgdx: but yes, if you can install apps from the store, then I guess it means that the account is ok12:06
=== alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch
jgdxmardy, okay, thanks.12:06
sturmflut-workmardy: I am a bit confused, is Oxide even officially part of the 14.10 framework? I can't find it in the QML API docs.12:07
jgdxpstolowski, thank you. The lack of complaints regarding your u1 accounts is new, so I'm attaching it to the bug12:08
=== MacSlow|lunch is now known as MacSlow
mardysturmflut-work: difficult question :-) Let's wait for dbarth_12:10
dbarth_oxide is part of 14.10 yes12:12
dbarth_i don't think that the oxide warning message is the reason for the issue12:12
bzoltanogra_:  I am doing it for the snap word :) and click is not that relevant, but schroot should be sacked for good12:13
pstolowskijgdx, yw12:13
bzoltanogra_:  But who is the image/rootfs doer on the snappy side?12:13
ogra_bzoltan, mvo12:14
bzoltanogra_:  of course :) who else12:15
jgdxseb128, pstolowski, I can repro12:18
dobeyjgdx, pstolowski, seb128: what's this about?12:19
seb128jgdx, how?12:20
jgdxseb128, I'm adding the details to the bug now.12:20
jgdxdobey, it's a bit unclear, but give me some time.12:21
=== _salem is now known as salem_
jgdxpstolowski, you can repro without reboot, just kill USS. FYI12:23
bzoltanmvo: we have even more reason to talk :) The snapcraft work is on the corner already.12:24
jgdxdobey, humor me: if I start setting up a U1 account, but enter the wrong password and then terminate the process (cancel). What happens?12:24
pstolowskijgdx, ok.. i haven't had any problems reproducing it so far, it seems broken for good for me, when it worked a moment ago it was for the first time in ~20 attempts12:26
dobeyjgdx: then you don't have an account12:26
jgdxdobey, and no files are craeted12:26
dobeywell no files are created in success either, but sure12:27
jgdxdobey, any data?12:27

jgdxdobey, okay. Thanks12:28
=== pstolowski is now known as pstolowski|lunch
sturmflut-workdbarth_: But apart from that, and if Oxide is part of 14.10, which exact version is part of 14.10? krillin r16 was shipped with 1.3 and r20 with 1.4, and both releases claim to conform to the 14.10 framework. So now we have a production device where a developer might decide to use Oxide 1.4 because the device and image version he uses to develop his app supports it, and at the same time there are users who lag a bit behind12:52
sturmflut-workand can't run the app, but Click can't detect the problem.12:52
=== danilo__ is now known as danilos
dobeysturmflut-work: the Oxide qml component itself is not part of the SDK. Ubuntu.Web is, and I don't think that's changed13:00
dobeysturmflut-work: if you're importing oxide directly, you're taking advantage of the fact that it's there, but it's not a supported part of the SDK13:01
=== alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g
dbarth_sturmflut-work: we have code that ensures that depending on the framework used by the app, you run on either oxide or qtwebkit13:20
dbarth_sturmflut-work: but again, i don't think that's cause for that error13:20

seb128dobey, hey14:13
seb128on my bq rtm 267 image, I installed a calendar app update through settings, went back to the dash, long clicked on the calendar icon to see the click store details/changelog for the new version, clicked on the open button from the detail page14:13
seb128 that failed to start it, trying to run the old version14:13
seb128 WARNING **: Unable to find keyfile for application 'com.ubuntu.calendar_calendar_0.4.600'14:13
seb128dobey, is that a click scope issue? do you know if it's known?14:14
seb128dobey, unsure if you are the right person to ask about that :-)14:14
dobeyseb128: that sounds like a regression in the updates panel maybe. it's supposed to call the dbus signal to refresh the scope. sounds like it didn't get refreshed though.14:16
seb128dobey, but the scope page displayed the new version number with the corresponding changelog14:18
seb128I read the changelog before clicking open14:18
dobeyseb128: that information comes from the store, so it will always show the latest no matter what version you have installed14:19
seb128k14:19
seb128dobey, I switched away from the settings app before the install was finished it seems14:19
seb128dobey, so maybe my fault, that blocked the refresh signal14:20
dobeyyeah, that might do it :-/14:20
seb128dobey, I wonder if it would make sense to force a refresh and retry if the version is not found14:21
dobeyseb128: i think the settings plug-in needs to be fixed to run the install helper script for the scope, rather than calling the dbus method from within qt14:22
seb128mandel, ^ :-)14:23
mandelseb128, gosh.. I hate that code, dobey what do you suggest, we need to rewrite all that14:24
mandeldobey, I'm going to kill diego14:25
dobeylol14:25
seb128mandel, while you are rewriting it, might be nice to make it use libclick rather than the click command line ;-)14:26
* seb128 stops there and hides14:26
mandelseb128, 100% agreed14:26
mandelseb128, I'm going to stop myself from doing it because we have a sprint and I want to do it with you guys around (will you be present)?14:27
seb128mandel, at the core sprint in 10 days? no, desktop is not invinted, we have our own week in London the week after that...14:28
dobeyseb128: no14:28
seb128but maybe kenvandine is going to be there?14:28
dobeybetter to make it use the helper shell script that is in unity-scope-click14:28
dobeyso stuff will work even when you switch away from system settings14:28

bzoltanogra_:  that one I can handle ... I almost made the SDK testing with that17:06
ogra_i know it allows to do similar stuff aufs does ... which is what i'm familiar with ... but thats deprecated17:06
bzoltanogra_:  I played with overlayfs... it is not complicated17:07
ogra_yeah, i guess so17:07

melespopey: but i m not talking about a local deb or click package, but about stuff from the software center.19:34
melespopey: http://askubuntu.com/questions/607336/terminal-command-to-install-apps-on-ubuntu-touch19:34
dobeymeles: there is no CLI for the click app store at the moment19:34
popeymeles: what do you want to install?19:35
melesdobey: bad news but thanks for the info. I have an issue with my GPS and BQ Support suggested to reset. But I'm not willing to do that if i have to do everything manually.19:36
melespopey ^19:36
dobeyinstallng from the app store requires a u1 account, and the only way to sign in with a u1 account is via the UI19:36
popeymeles: we may have a fix coming for GPS issues19:37
dobeymeles: you can re-falsh without replacing the installed apps or your current settings. there should also be an OTA update soon which might fix some of the problems you're seeing19:37
melespopey, dobey: so the issue is wider spread?19:39
dobeyothers have reported some issues with GPS resolution yes19:39
dobeyi don't know what issue you're having specifically of course :)19:40
melesok than i will just wait for a fix, since I anyway expect reseting not o help.19:40
popeythanks for your patience meles19:40
meleswell Wifi and cell positioning works, gps doesn't19:41
melespopey, dobey thanks for your help. does anyone want to answer this question. otherwise i will just comment it with your info.19:42
melespopey, dobey sorry i forgot the link: http://askubuntu.com/questions/607336/terminal-command-to-install-apps-on-ubuntu-touch19:45
popeyyou basically can't19:46
popeyunless you have a local copy of the click packages19:46
dobeyanswered19:46
popeyyou could script it.19:46
dobeywhich you don't, becasue the downloaded .click is deleted immediately after it's installed19:46
popeywell, i wasn't assuming that19:46
popeyi was saying if you have a local _copy_19:46
popey(which I do)19:47
dobeywell _you_ are special :)19:47
popeyhah19:47
om26erthis simple script does wonders for me for install .click on the device. http://paste.ubuntu.com/10785276/19:47
om26erI call it phablet-click-install19:48
om26er;)19:48
melesom26er: thanks but i was wanting stuff from the software center19:48
dobeyom26er: /if/ you have a .click file that works yes19:48
melesdobey: thanks for the answer on askubuntu19:49
davmor2meles: why not install from the store19:49
dobeydavmor2: he's trying to automate it19:49
davmor2ah okay that makes more sense19:49
dobeydavmor2: ie, "reinstall previously installed packages" feature19:49
melesdavmor2: well thats what i mean.19:50
melesdavmor2: but after a reset that wont work19:50

daixtrnewbie question: does ubuntu app phone store creating separate binaries for each app? I mean, how can it achieve phone-desktop compatibilty?20:03
=== kickinz1|afk is now known as kickinz1
popeydaixtr: depends, if it's a pure qml app (like calendar & music) then the same code runs everywhere20:04
daixtrwhat's the de-facto development language for ubuntu phone apps? Is it C?20:04
popeydaixtr: if it's an app which contains binaries (like terminal and file manager) we can make "Fat" packages which contain binaries for multiple platforms20:05
popeyhttps://uappexplorer.com/app/com.ubuntu.developer.nskaggs.filemanager for example is a fat package20:05
daixtri've been doing C programming for linux..20:05
popeymost of ours is qml or c++20:06
daixtrso this https://uappexplorer.com/ is like, the equivalent for android's google play?20:07
popeykinda20:08
popeyit's a community maintained frontend to our store20:08
popeywe have an "official" one in the works, but that's not live yet20:09
daixtrso what's the development feel... is it like the gcc/make thing?20:09
dobeyapt-get install ubuntu-sdk and see :)20:09
daixtrok20:09
vitimitipopey, I didn't ask about hits but I didn't know about it. It's interesting20:10
vitimitithis*20:10
popeyvitimiti: que?20:10
popeydaixtr: http://developer.ubuntu.com/20:11
vitimitipopey, I was saying that this you said about the app explorer and the "fat" packages was interesting20:11
vitimitiSorry for my English20:11
daixtri noticed that ubuntu phone does not use the 'home' hardware button.. if i install ubuntu into my galaxy s5, will this 'home' physical button be useless?20:11
popeywe dont use any of the soft android buttons20:12
popeyvitimiti: ahh, sorry :)20:12
popeydaixtr: and I don't know if the galaxy s5 is a supported device20:12
popey!devices20:12
ubot5You can find the full list of devices, official images, community images, and works in progress at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices20:12
daixtrok.. anyhow,.. whatever device ... i noticed that ubuntu phone is not using any home button20:13
popeycorrect20:13
daixtrwhy?20:13
popeyour user interface doesn't use it20:13
vitimitiIt's gestures based20:13
daixtri mean, but can we put it to good use? like map it to something useful? can ubuntu os do it?20:13
popeywe don't use it, and I don't believe there's any plan to map it to anything20:14
popeyin the future we may be on devices that have no soft buttons, so we shouldn't expect them20:14
daixtrok.. but can the OS generate events, or i can program on it..?20:14
jdstrandbeuno: fyi, NOS approved and fix is in r43020:15
daixtror does the OS totally ignores it like it does not exist?20:15
popeythe latter20:15
daixtrare gtk/qt applications directly run on it? (sorry i'll read the docs later promise)  i need to know ahead what's in front of me so i'll know20:18
popeyexisting desktop apps won't work out of the box20:18
popeywe don't have X on the phone, but use Mir.20:19
jdstrandbeuno: I noticed 'wget' in the store too and commented20:19
popeyIn the future Xmir may be on the device.20:19
beunothanks jdstrand20:20
daixtrif i drop to cli terminal in ubuntu phone, does it have a multi-user.. shell.. such as i can create new users 'useradd', etc.. crontab -e.. and so on?20:20
dobeynot really, no20:22
dobeyit may be possible to create additional terminal users, but / is read-only, and the UI doesn't yet support multiple user scenarios20:23
dobeyso it's not useful to do that on the phone really20:23
daixtrdobey: how about any scheduling mechanism.. like crontab.. if i want to run a program regularly..20:50
beunodaixtr, not currently available, no20:50
beunoits the same as a background task20:50
popeyi thought we supported user crontabs?20:50
beunowe'll need to figure out the right way to do it20:51
beunopopey, not AFAIK20:51
dobeypopey: i don't think so20:51
popeypretty sure ogra_ said so recently20:51
* popey throws ogra_ under the cron bus20:51
dobeyi'm pretty sure that part of the fs is read-only20:51
daixtrdo i have the ability to run a daemon program then?20:51
beunodaixtr, no, no background processes20:52
beunoyour app is either running and on the screen20:52
beunoor stopped20:52
daixtrwhat's the shell.. is it busybox?20:52
daixtror does it / can it have a bash?20:52
beunodaixtr, it is a phone, restricted to what apps can do so the user's phone doesn't get crippled20:52
dobeydaixtr: what are you trying to do exactly?20:52
daixtrnothing.. i'm just ranging...20:53
dobeydaixtr: you can basically do whatever you want on your own phone, but it's not really supported20:53
dobeydaixtr: but you can't do background processes and such in an app you want to build and put in the store20:53
dobeydoing unsupported stuff on your own phone is basically a "you get to keep both pieces when it breaks" situation20:54
dobeyit's unsupported because we can't reasonably support it :)20:54
dobeythe phone as a consumer product is ubuntu, but it has sandboxing and other security things to prevent malicious apps from destroying your battery or shipping your data off to a server in russia and such20:55
daixtrabout the kernel.. is the inotify stripped out?20:56
dobeyit's an older kernel, as we have to use the AOSP android kernel to have working hardware20:56
dobeyi don't know if inotify is enabled in it or not, but i don't think an app could use it under confinement, either way20:57
daixtris the mode of development for ubuntu phone, a cross-compiling one?21:02
dobeyyes21:04
daixtrwell.. i just read a seconds ago.. qml/javascript seems to be main language.. but C++ cross-compiling detail is to be announce yet when full sdk is released...21:07
daixtrso clearly, i see here that its diverging from Android's java-based lang... i'm just curious, why this different development choice...21:08
dobeyit's not diverging from android's java at all. it's completely unrelated21:09
daixtri read qml... and i see javascript...21:09
dobeyandroid's java is what diverges from java21:09
daixtrwell.. javascript is not a proper language..21:09
dobeyqml is not javascript21:10
dobeythen don't write javascript if you don't like javascript21:10
dobeyanyway, i have to go now21:10
ogra_beuno, popey, we have cron installed ... but it will indeed miss scheduled events if the device is asleep, it operates normally if the device is awake though22:19
