Knuckl3headHello?03:35
lotuspsychjeKnuckl3head: yes?03:38
Knuckl3headI am trying to find ways of extracting drivers from an android device, is there any information on how I should go about this?03:38
lotuspsychjeKnuckl3head: what are you trying to do exactly?03:39
lotuspsychjeKnuckl3head: porting ubuntu touch to a new device?03:40
Knuckl3headYeah, I'm just trying to get an initial image at the moment.03:40
lotuspsychjeKnuckl3head: what kind of device do you have?03:41
Knuckl3headIt's a Polaroid A8 Tablet.03:41
lotuspsychjeKnuckl3head: maybe the XDA forums have a porting to your device?03:41
Knuckl3headThe XDA forums? I haven't checked there yet, hold on.03:42
Knuckl3headHow would I find whether or not they have a port on there?03:43
lotuspsychjeKnuckl3head: search for you device name, and check if someone already busy on it03:43
Knuckl3headJust rooting software.03:45
lotuspsychjeKnuckl3head: for now these are the supported devices:03:46
lotuspsychje!devices | Knuckl3head03:46
ubot5Knuckl3head: You can find the full list of devices, official images, community images, and works in progress at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices03:46
Knuckl3headSo does this mean that there's no way to extract the drivers?03:46
lotuspsychjeKnuckl3head: but many handymen, are portin to cool devices, nexus5, one+one phones, tablet brands and such03:46
Knuckl3headSo I'll have to buy a 200$+ tablet to install Ubuntu Touch?03:48
lotuspsychjeKnuckl3head: if you wanna be safe, buy a second hand nexus703:48
lotuspsychjei run touch on it and works like a charm03:49
Knuckl3headI'll just email the devs or contact the mailing list to see if they can help me.03:50
lotuspsychjesure, and also idle here when the devs are waking up03:50

brunch875Good morning in the morning!06:43
dadexix86hi all. how does the auto brightness work? Is it measured by the frontal camera? how much battery does this automated thing usually drain?09:14
nhainesThere's usually a dedicated photosensor for this next to the proximity sensor that the phone uses to turn off the screen when you put it to your face during a call.09:15
dadexix86nhaines, thanks. on the bq device is this the first one from the left, then?09:19
nhainesThat I don't know.09:23
dadexix86nhaines, ok thanks :) do you know something about the amount of battery (usually) used by that feature?09:25
nhainesdadexix86: no, but it's probably only used when the screen is on and photosensors tend to be variable impedence resistors, so probably basically none.09:54
dadexix86nhaines, thanks :)09:58
nhainesdadexix86: you're welcome.  :)10:01
Mad_Dudguys, are there any connection problems reported in Germany for cellular networs in aquariz e4.5 ubuntu edition?10:31
Mad_Dudi'm getting Sim 1 "unregistered"10:31
Mad_Dudwhen i go to Rellular options, choose 'carrier' it says 'none' and when i click it (it's supposed to give a list of available networks?), there is only 'automatically' option available10:34
brunch875ahooy!11:02
dadexix86Mad_Dud, what is your carrier?11:30
Mad_Duddadexix86: vodafone11:31
Mad_Dudvodafone DE, to be specific11:31
dadexix86Then yes, there is a problem, see bug 1436545 :) I have O2 DE and it works fine :)11:32
ubot5bug 1436545 in ofono (Ubuntu RTM) "Mobile data not working for numerous German carriers" [High,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/143654511:32
Mad_Duddadexix86: damn it!11:33
Mad_Dudok. thanks11:33
ogra_Mad_Dud, despite the bug (which actually claims vodafone works) ... you shoul din any case get a GSM connection, this seems like a new and unrelated bug11:42
ogra_note that there is another bug where it takes 5min+ to register to GSM11:44
lotuspsychjegreat work on the browser-app setting guys11:45

NIN101how long will the aquariz e4.5 receive updates? does this depend on BQ?13:13
Nothing_MuchDoes Ubuntu Touch support .debs normally?16:05
rbasakNothing_Much: only if you remount the root filesystem read/write. That breaks image-based updates though.16:12
Nothing_Muchrbasak: ohh..16:20
Nothing_Muchwill .debs be supported normally in the future?16:20
AskUbuntuno notifications from calendar and reminders apps on Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Editon | http://askubuntu.com/q/60842216:24
rbasakNothing_Much: no. Otherwise users would need dist-upgrade to work, and that's fraught with issues.16:33
Nothing_Muchah, so Click is the way of the future?16:34
rbasakNothing_Much: yes, for stuff being added to the core system.16:34
rbasak(as opposed to for the core system itself)16:38

Se7hi guyssss18:04
Se7i was thinking....18:05
Se7i m left hand it s possible to move the bar on the right and side ?18:05
Se7sometime it s a bit weird to use it with the left thumb on the left and side of the phone18:07
Se7it s would be great for the market as well i guess :)18:08
dadexix86Se7, I was thinking about the same yesterday (although I am right handed). How do you feel with the desktop? Is it okay having it on the left or would it be better having everything inverted?18:19
Se7on desktop it s different18:23
Se7because you got the pointer18:24
Se7not the finger :)18:24
cwayne_popey, don't suppose you're around?18:24
Se7and it s better on the desktop because you got everythink on left18:24
popeycwayne_: for you, always18:24
Se7lol18:24
Se7this a quick answer18:25
cwayne_popey, got an update to untappd if you don't mind :)  fixes an account issue dobey_ was seein'18:25
popeycwayne_: done18:27

Se7dadexix86, you think its possible?19:41
dadexix86Se7, in general? Maybe. Without rewriting a ton of code? Nope :( but probably the nice thing to do would to have a switch in the settings. Having the launcher on one side and not above/below it is actually important to have the possibly to move the launcher on the other side.19:45
dadexix86Se7 I strongly suggest that you fill a bug and wait for the developers to give an answer.19:46
Se7ok tnx for the answer19:47
Se7have a switch would be very great19:48
Se7but yu think it s a bug?19:48
dadexix86Se7, well, yes. it is a usability bug for me :)20:09
Se7  ok just posted the question :)20:10
dadexix86can you link it please? :)20:14
Se7i posted in ask ubuntu not in a bug20:15
Se7http://askubuntu.com/questions/608483/launcher-ubuntu-touch20:15
AskUbuntuLauncher ubuntu touch | http://askubuntu.com/q/60848320:16
dadexix86thanks!20:18
Se7no probs :)20:18
Se7it s ok there ir i have to report a new bug in launchpad?20:18
popeyi think you may be missing that the right edge is used for switching applications20:22
popeywhich is generally something you do more often than launching applications20:22
popeyif you move launcher to the right, then switching will obviously move to the left20:22
popeyif you do that then you have to stretch every time you switch apps20:22
Se7popey, i dont agree20:26
popeyyou don't agree with what?20:27
Se7i don t understand very well what you mean for stretch20:27
Se7but i dont agree with that20:28
Se7popey> which is generally something you do more often than launching applications20:28
popeyPeople generally switch applications (like ALT+TAB) _way_ more than they launch apps20:28
Se7when i m at work wich it s a very boring job20:28
Se7i launch application every second...close and open fb20:29
Se7ebay20:29
Se7telegramm as well20:29
popeyYou open an app, and then _close_ it?20:29
popeySo you have no apps running?20:30
Se7no20:30
Se7if i watch on fb after i close it20:30
Se7i don t leave apps running in background20:31
Se7save battery :)20:31
popeyThat's not common behaviour.20:31
popeyApps on Ubuntu don't run in the background.20:32
popeySo it saves battery without you having to do that.20:32
Se7ok ok this is another think i guess20:33
Se7i was talking about the comfort for me that i m left hand20:35
popeyah I see.20:36
popeyI misunderstood that bit, sorry.20:36
Se7no probs popey20:37
SturmFlutD****d I crashed my E4.5 again21:52
popeyD****d?21:54
SturmFlutpopey: It starts with "D" and ends with "amned"21:54
SturmFlutEvery time it happens I can't subsequently get an ABD shell, so no possibility to debug it21:55
SturmFlutOoooh! It came back to life!21:56
SturmFlutThis is new21:56
SturmFlutI'll file a bug tomorrow, but if anybody wants to look at the logs at this exact moment: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10811672/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/10811675/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/10811679/22:02
ThandlovskyIf anyone is interested, I have f2fs working on the ubuntu touch image and it works great I think you guys should check it out23:57
