robert_ancellWhat's the recommended method for installing a silo onto an Ubuntu touch device?00:35
robert_ancellI think it's running "phablet-config writable-image" and then apt-get installing the PPA but want to double check.00:37
jcbjoequestion im looking at some youtube vidoes and it shows the BQ Aquaris and the MeizuMX4 and they have ubuntu-touch like a final version .. could i run this build or version on a nexus 5 ?01:20
RAOFrobert_ancell: phablet-tools-citrain contains /usr/bin/citrain which has the “device-upgrade” command to snaffle packages from a silo.01:52
robert_ancellRAOF, awesome. I thought such a tool might exist02:00
jcbjoeanyone using a nexus 4 with or 5 with ubuntu-touch just trying to see if there is a final build or something since its actually being sold as a phone02:33
Elleojcbjoe: the nexus 4 is one of the official reference devices, so there are official images for that; for the nexus 5 there are only community ports (as I understand it they're fairly good ports, but with some battery issues and a few bits of hardware not working right)02:39
jcbjoegot it02:39

kissielMirv, hi! Do you have a minute?07:46
Mirvkissiel: sure, at this hour :)07:49
kissielMirv, I remember you helping us push checkbox-touch to the store07:50
kissielMirv, is there a new way to do that, or someone still has to do it manually?07:50
Mirvkissiel: someone else like popey might have the best answer if there's a new way for that, but there's still the old way too (well, it did change a bit but I should have the newest bits)07:55
kissielMirv, mm, okay07:55
kissielMirv, so still manual, eh? https://launchpad.net/checkbox-touch/+milestone/1.1 here's the current click, what else should I bring?07:56
Mirvkissiel: the click looks good, let's in parallel wait for an answer whether you can upload it yourself and I'll try if I can upload (at first sight, it seems my setup has a python problem)07:58
kissielMirv, allright, thanks, I'm off to meetings, I'll be back in ~60minutes07:58
popeyMirv: kissiel I can upload for you08:13
Mirvpopey: so you do it via web or such?08:17
popeyyes08:18
popeylogin to store, upload, like anyone else08:18
sil2100popey, ogra_, jibel, davmor2, Mirv: hey guys, I changed the calendar to only have 2 morning and 2 evening meetings in the week - two on Monday to plan out the work for the whole week for both the EU and US timezone, one meeting on Thursday and one on Friday - those are more for 'promotion-like' decisions, as we usually have tests finished on those days08:19
Mirvoh, modern times!08:19
Mirvsil2100: ok, I can see that08:20
Mirvmakes sense08:20
popeyok08:20
sil2100popey, ogra_, jibel, davmor2, Mirv: we can adjust them later if this setup doesn't quite work08:20
davmor2\o/ lie ins08:21
Mirvpopey: kissiel: well as usual popey can check what happened, I got click-toolbelt now ~working again with the new version of it, and I got https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/dev/api/click-package-upload/com.ubuntu.checkbox/ but then an error when checking package status08:22
Mirvsil2100: should we have a daily cat hangout anyhow?08:22
popeyMirv: kissiel i see no changes to the app on the site.08:23
oscar__hello08:23
Mirvpopey: yeah so the error message was probably correct in saying that there was an error08:23
popey(nothing that indicates a new version uploaded)08:23

popeykissiel: it fails click-reviewer-tools anyway. http://paste.ubuntu.com/10937021/08:25
kissielpopey, thanks!08:25
popeykissiel: specifically you need to update the framework and spit out a new click - the store will reject it otherwise.08:26
walde079susup guys08:26
kissielpopey, understood, will fix,test and ping you guys in a bit08:26
davmor2oscar__: how do you mean unlock?08:26
oscar__yes it because I define as security a pin of 4 digits and then the terminal by mistake set the phablet password for letters.08:27
sil2100Mirv: let's schedule a separate meeting for that ;) I'll join the cat club once we finally get ours!08:28
oscar__I'm using the "BQ Ubuntu Edition"08:28
davmor2popey: any ideas ^08:28
oscar__:(08:28
oscar__:(08:28
Mirvoscar__: the terminal app itself shouldn't set the password as letters, but indeed it asks for the 4 digit pin code via normal keyboard, if that's what you mean? you can type your 4 digits to the terminal with that normal keyboard08:30
Mirvsil2100: ok! ;)08:30
popeyyeah, its the same password08:30
popeysudo / unlocking phone / terminal / file manager - same pin/passphrase08:30
Mirvoh, I probably shouldn't be asking that but... any tips to hack app lifecycle for certain apps, if I accept to void all warranties and such? ;)08:31
* Mirv would like ssh connections to stay open08:32
Stskeepsport mosh?08:32
oscar__but I do not have access to the applications, and the keyboard is numeric :(08:32
MirvStskeeps: hmm mosh might be an option here. I never really switched to that but in this case it might be time to switch.08:32
StskeepsMirv: it's totally lovely.08:33
Mirvso I've heard08:33
oscar__if I connect via USB can access the phone's shell?08:33
popeyMirv: i asked tvoss for a lifecycle exception for terminal - no reply08:34
popeypmg suggested it should be possible if developer mode switch is on.08:35
popeywhich I think is reasonable08:35
oscar__yes08:36
oscar__yes is active :(08:36
sil2100Mirv: btw. isn't there a LP team for cat owners or something? ;p08:36
oscar__I activated the mode of development because he was not able to change the password for the root user.08:38
oscar__And now? How can I get around the situation?08:38
popeyoscar__: what is the problem you have right now?08:39
popeyoscar__: Your password, set in System Settings -> Security & Privacy. That's the same as the password you use in Terminal, and sudo.08:39
popeySo what is currently broken?08:39
oscar__to access the application asks for the security pin.08:40
oscar__and enter the pin does not accept08:40
oscar__yes this the same password08:41
popeyyou can lock and unlock your phone with the same pin?08:41
jgdxMirv, +1 for mosh!08:41
jgdxa truly "you're not going to look back" system08:42
oscar__I am enter the same pin and not to allow unlock08:42
popeyoscar__: what exactly did you do? You said something about root password? What did you do to set that?08:43
davmor2and why08:43
popeyjgdx: yeah, mosh would be even more amazing if network manager wasn't broken in 15.04 :(08:44
seb128popey, how broken?08:44
Mirvpopey: ok. yeah, reasonable under dev mode.08:44
Mirvsil2100: not sure if there's yet :D08:45
popeyseb128: you can't have two network cards on the same machine on the same lan (e.g. Wired & Wifi on same network)08:45
popeyknown bug08:45
oscar__the console changed the password of the phablet user to "enter" and I enabled the developer so because he was not able to.  As a safety had set the blockades pin 4440.08:45
seb128weird, wfm08:45
popeyat the same time?08:45
popeyit's known upstream too, and fixed with a patch I believe08:45
seb128dunno08:45
Mirvjgdx: just reading http://blog.cloudpassage.com/2012/09/25/mitigating-security-risks-mosh/ though :)08:45
seb128it routes through one at least08:45
popeyright, thats the problem, "same time" is the key phrase08:45
popeynot if both are on08:45
seb128I get access to internet&co08:45
seb128well I'm connected to both08:46
seb128and I can access to machines local&internet08:46
seb128not sure what else you could be doing08:46
popeyme?08:46
seb128specifying the source interface?08:46
popeyit's known upstream, not just me08:46
seb128well, I'm unsure how you can see the bug if everything is working08:46
popeycyphermox said it's on his to-do list08:46
seb128you want to force packets to go through the wifi?08:46
seb128or the eth?08:46
seb128and not the system to pick one for you?08:47
popeyno, i just want it to work08:47
oscar__currently only have the numeric keypad to unlock and does not accept the pin08:47
popeyit drops packets for 30 seconds, then works for 30 seconds08:47
seb128oh, urg08:47
Mirv+ setting up mosh without making image writable (which I try to avoid currently) seems a bit hard since one isn't allowed to execute binaries form /home/phablet. who cares about security.. oh, right, me08:47
seb128I don't see that here, not sure why08:47
popeyare both interfaces on same lan segment?08:48
Mirvbut yes, thanks for reminding about mosh anyway, either that or disabling lifecycle management for terminal08:48
popeysame subnet?08:48
seb128well, if cyphermox is on it let's hope he fixes it for those who get the issue08:48
seb128popey, my home config is a modem/dsl router with eth ports and a wifi ap08:48
seb128which I'm both using directly connected to my laptop/dock station08:48
seb128nothing else08:48

davmor2oscar__: what?  I think you are losing us.  The console doesn't change anything.  It might ask you to Enter your Password.  The password is your pin.  The only way it would of change would be if you changed it.08:49
seb128popey, thanks08:49
oscar__then I do not know what happened, because it changed the initial pin :(08:50
popeyoscar__: did you use passwd on the command line, or some other tool to set the password?08:50
popeyoscar__: you said you set root password?08:50
oscar__yes08:51
oscar__:(08:51
popeywhat did you do?08:51
popeyPlease, answer the questions specificall, as it's very hard to help when you don't, but answer questions we didn't ask.08:51
popey*specifically08:51
oscar__I apologize, but in the end did the following:  sudo -i08:52
popeyok.08:52
popeythat should work fine.08:52
popeywhat else?08:53
oscar__then i set the password08:54
oscar__then i set the password:  passwd phablet08:55
popeyok, that's fine.08:55
popeyso whatever you set the password to... that _is_ your pin08:56
davmor2popey: yeah the issue is going to be that the lock screen is set to pin so no way to type in a password08:56
=== JMulholland_ is now known as JMulholland
davmor2popey: you can't type in boo with 123408:57
davmor2popey: sound like oscar__ changed the password in the terminal but that didn't change the input method of the login screen08:58
oscar__I changed to a different and letters.08:58
popeyright, I agree with davmor208:58
popeyconnect via adb and then "passwd phablet" and set it to 1234 temporarily?08:59
popeythen use system settings to set it to something better08:59
oscar__And now I have no way to unlock because the keyboard is just like digits.08:59
davmor2oscar__: read popey 's lines above it gives a possible solution09:00

jgdxseb128, hm, I'll take a look11:05
TenLeftFingersLooking at bugs filed against the browser. I don't see anything for what I'm experiencing - the notification bar sometimes overlaps the top of the browser. Sometimes the browser moves up and covers the notification bar (although swiping down still works). But on first launch, it typically displays itself beneath the notification area like other apps. should I file this?11:06
sturmflut-workSaviq: Ping11:06
Saviqsturmflut-work, wassup?11:07
sturmflut-workSaviq: Regarding the e-mail from Davide Alberelli about the "False Roaming", this is a somewhat special and complicated case. Two german providers joined their network and it is intentional that the phone roams from one into the other. The only difference I see between Android and Ubuntu Touch is that Android apparently roams to the other network and activates mobile data *without* the user having to activate "data roaming".11:11
Saviqsturmflut-work, well, yeah, that's what I meant, we need to differentiate between "local/national" and "abroad" roaming11:13
sturmflut-workSaviq: Sadly the situation is complicated further by the fact that the two providers are changing their configurations during normal operation, sometimes one region at a time, and they have lots of MVNOs on their network too which all have to change their settings as well. There are lots of problems with non-Ubuntu phones too. I wonder if the problem can be properly debugged at the moment.11:17
Saviqsturmflut-work, dunno, we might need to introduce network-specific quirks if we can't reliably determine stuff from the network props and such11:18
Saviqsturmflut-work, it's why I asked for a bug report so that people that know more about this can relate11:19
sturmflut-workSaviq: I have the necessary SIM cards and phones here, but am short on time at the moment. Should I come up with something today I'll try to file a proper bug report.11:20

SturmFlutmterry: you might be interested in the comment to bug 1421455 I just submitted15:46
ubot5bug 1421455 in unity8 (Ubuntu) "Slow wake up time on physical power button pressed" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/142145515:46
mterrySturmFlut, curious15:47
SturmFlutmterry: Well, if I look at all those strange kernel messages from Mediatek drivers, nothing seems curious anymore15:48
mterry:)15:48
SturmFlutmterry: I was thinking about the SD card as a source of problems. I follow linux-mmc and power saving for those things is just broken, it would maybe explain why different users see different delays, but then I realized that the original bug report came from a Nexus 4 and that one has no SD card slot.15:49
SturmFlutmterry: In the end it must be something introduced by Android or Mediatek, because the vanilla kernel apparently does not even accept "on" as a value to be written to /sys/power/state15:51
mterrySturmFlut, well the description for this bug says "This is not so bad on nexus4."  There are other wake/screen problems in Touch, but this specific bug seems to mostly hit the BQ15:51

SturmFlutIs it possible to change the kernel command line of the device? Without breaking too much16:11
SturmFlutmterry: ^^16:12
mterrySturmFlut, I'm not sure how, to be honest16:12
mterryI guess you edit /boot/ stuff...16:12
SturmFlutmterry: Probably by changing either the bootloader settings or the bootloader itself16:12
SturmFlutmterry: /boot is empty on the phone :/16:13
SturmFlutmterry: I'm checking out the krillin kernel code, maybe I can find anything16:17
mterryooph, good luck!  :)16:18
greybackSturmFlut: the "fastboot" tool has a "-c" switch that "overrides kernel commandline" - I'd be careful if I were you though16:22
ogra_SturmFlut, abootimg ...16:25
SturmFlutgreyback, ogra_ : Thanks!16:25
ogra_SturmFlut, hmm, i might be wrong ... seems to not work on krillin16:31
SturmFlutogra_: Yes, I just extracted the boot.img and there is an empty cmdline statement in bootimg.cfg16:33
ogra_SturmFlut, right, but not sure how to get that properly back in place once you changed it16:33
ogra_did you dd it out of the partition on the phone ?16:33
ogra_abootimg can change the commandline in place without extracting btw16:34
SturmFlutogra_: Ah, wait a moment, I have to look around a bit more16:34
SturmFlutogra_: Which partition is it on the phone? /dev/mmcblk0boot0? Can't find it16:39
ogra_ondra, ^^ ?16:39
ogra_ondra, is there a way for SturmFlut to dd the boot.img out of a device partition ?16:40
ondraSturmFlut which one are you looking for? boot image partition?16:40
ogra_yeah16:40
ondraogra_ SturmFlut $ cat /dev/boot > /cache/boot_backup.img16:40
ondrait will read whole partition, including zeros on the end16:40
ogra_ /dev/BOOT i guess then16:40
SturmFlutondra: My core goal is to pass the "debug" option to the kernel so I can maybe find this stupid power management issue16:41
ondrabut no harm there, it's just 20M16:41
ondraSturmFlut you can then unpack boot image16:41
ondraSturmFlut easiest way to pass kern commands is to update little kernel16:41
SturmFlutondra: Any documentation on that?16:42
ondraSturmFlut sorry it's actually /dev/bootimg16:42
ondraSturmFlut in recovery16:42
ondraSturmFlut hmm probably not16:42
ondraSturmFlut so probably easier for you to play with boot.img16:42
ogra_yeah, once you can dd/cat it to an img abootimg should be easily usable16:43

=== chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun
SturmFlutogra_, ondra: Okay, I pulled the contents of /dev/bootimg, extracted it and the "cmdline =" in the extracted bootimg.cfg is empty as well. So I checked against the boot.img contained in device-0142302186687e3e48e6987283f6caf5d471a4160f98aa6a3cb7658f96471297.tar.xz (krillin r21 firmware file) and everything is identical.16:48
ogra_SturmFlut, ah, cool16:49
ogra_then you should just be able too use abootimg -u on it16:50
ogra_abootimg -u /path/to/boot.img -c "cmdline=foobar"16:50
ogra_and to unset it again16:51
ogra_abootimg -u /path/to/boot.img -c "cmdline="16:51
ondraSturmFlut yep, it should be identical16:51
SturmFlutondra: But then where does the kernel get its default kernel command line from?16:52
ondraSturmFlut from little kernel16:52
ondraSturmFlut which is /dev/uboot16:53
SturmFlutondra: Ah, I was wondering about this "little kernel" the whole time ;) It's just uBoot16:53
* kissiel is away: break16:53
ondraSturmFlut yep16:54
SturmFlutHow do I recover in the worst case? fastboot and a full reinstall?16:54
SturmFlutondra: How do I write my new boot.img back to the device? Just stuff it in /dev/bootimg again?17:00
SturmFlutondra: How do I write my new boot.img back to the device? Just stuff it in /dev/bootimg again?17:01
ogra_SturmFlut, if you just want to add something the boot.img is the less dangerous option17:02
ogra_SturmFlut, if you just want to add something the boot.img is the less dangerous option17:02
ogra_if you actually want to modify an existing value it gets more tricky17:02

ogra_yeah, i would use boot.img for that17:03
=== davidbarth is now known as dbarth
SturmFlutogra_: I think there is a misunderstanding. I already used abootimg -u and changed the cmdline value. Now I have a new boot.img file, what do I do with it? Do I dd it back into /dev/bootimg? Or do I use fastboot to flash it?17:05

SturmFlutogra_: I lost most of my respect for ARM the day I found out that they never specified a standard way to boot a system, and then I lost the little bit that was left when I found out that most parts of an ARM system do not support autoconfiguration and enumeration.18:23
ogra_SturmFlut, well, u-boot is a quasi standard since a while18:26
wxlhey folks, android device manager interacts with frameworks, right? cuz it sure doesn't seem to be able to detect my phone18:29
SturmFlutogra_: a quasi-standard bootloader is no replacement for a proper boot specification and a proper firmware interface. Luckily we are finally getting UEFI and APCI on AArch64, but that wasn't ARMs own idea, other people had to force it onto them. I hate to say it, but Intel got that one right. It is nearly impossible to build an x86 system that won't boot a standard Linux distribution kernel. While it is nearly impossible to build a Linux kernel18:34

ogra_i fogot about it but wanted to file a bug ages ago that we get the right modules enabled19:24
ogra_anpok, mind doing that ?19:24
anpokfile where?19:24
ogra_(will need pulse profiles too though)19:24
ogra_canoical-system-image19:24
ogra_pmcgowan can then triage it (low/wishlist or so)19:24
anpokoh so you think this is just a matter of module enablement?19:24
ogra_no19:25
anpoki thought we also need pulse audio settings and ui for that19:25
ogra_it is also a matter of pulse19:25
ogra_right ... to work on the pulse side we need the modules first though19:26
ogra_or USB_DAC support builtin ... or so19:26
ogra_i left my DAC at home, perhaps there is even already something enabled19:27
* ogra_ can test next week19:27
anpokok writing it down..19:28
ogra_(or if you have one, wire it up and watch dmesg ... and attach it to the bug)19:28
anpokhm i once plugged an usb head set.. I think alsa detected it..19:29

studio_last question for today, i hope, can UT handle m3u or m3u8 playlists from the internet?19:32

popeystudio_: like streaming audio?19:34
studio_audio "and" video19:35
popeypossibly, if someone wrote an app to find the audio/video stream and passed it to media-hub / mediaplayer19:35
ogra_studio_, no it cant19:35
ogra_i opened a bug for that ...19:35

ubot5bug 1407693 in Media Hub "media-hub should allow streaming of .m3u8 (apple streaming format) streams" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/140769319:37
studio_popey, i do not understand. why the mediaplayer is not able to figure out it is an audio- or video-stream?19:37
jhodappstudio_, that feature (m3u playlists) is coming first...then possibly .m3u8 (http live streaming support) in the future19:38
studio_m3u8 in the future, but what is for now  with m3u?19:38
jhodappnot supported yet but coming19:39
Elleopopey / studio_: I have a half-finished shoutcast app that manually parses the m3u and passes the stream along to media hub which works fine19:39
studio_ok19:39
jhodappElleo, that's cool, soon you'll be able to simply load that playlist via QMediaPlaylist and have media-hub automatically use it for the current tracklist19:40
Elleojhodapp: cool19:40
jhodappby giving it the URL19:40
popeyNeat!19:44
studio_Elleo, nice, but that is just a Scope for Shoutcast. My question was, how do i, as user, play my own m3u/m3u8 without a Scope, thaz is allways checking my connectivity?19:47
ogra_studio_, you write a scope that does that (by stealing Elleo's code and adjusting it for your use case) ... and upload it to the store19:48
studio_i never write a scope19:48
ogra_well19:48
ogra_then you will have to wait til someone else does it19:49
studio_i need apps, and not web-apps or scopes19:49
ogra_doesnt need to have to be a scope, you can indeed also write an app19:49
studio_why schoult i do that? write xmir for mir19:49
ogra_well, you want functionality that isnt there yet ... for such cases we give you an SDK to easily write an app19:50
ogra_either help yourself or wait ... these are the two options19:50
studio_armhf is working fine on X without Mir, you said you will enable that through a "Rootless X on Mir" ... but now it is not compatible ...19:53
* ogra_ wonbders what that has to do with m3u playlist support 19:53
popey(or pay someone else to do it)19:53
ogra_popey, was that a cheap try for getting extra pay ?19:54
studio_popey, if i "pay" for a bq E4.5, it will be compatible?19:54
popeywith software that doesn't exist? sure. whatever.19:54
ogra_if you find a programmer who wants to do that and you pay him to explicitly write the app for the bq, sure19:54
ogra_(though it would be pointless to restrict an app to a single device ... especially with such an abstract SDK/framework)19:55
ogra_mpt, hey ho ... i recently seeded openvpn intho the images ... i was wondering if you already have any UI work for VPN settings19:56
studio_popey, and ogra_, i never "payed" for a software unter "Ubuntu" if i should pay, then i'll switch to another debian derivate19:56
ogra_studio_, you dont have to pay, you can write it yourself (which was the first thing we suggested to you)19:56
ogra_or you can wait19:57
popeyyou're missing the point completely19:57
ogra_and if you dont want to do either you could also pay someone ...19:57
popey1) wait for software, 2) write software, 3) pay someone else to write software, 4) convince (with no payment) someone else to write software, 5) walk away19:57
popeythose are pretty much your options19:57
studio_popey, ogra_ said "wait" so why i am missing the point?19:58
ogra_wow, you extended the list even !19:58
popey:)19:58
popeyyou missed the point because you implied that you _have_ to pay19:58
popeyi never said you have to pay19:58
popeyjust that it's an option19:58
ogra_studio_, no, i said "write" ... wait is just the other option :)19:58
studio_ogra_, it was your idea to use mir, or not?19:59
ogra_?19:59
ogra_for m3u playlists ... nah, i dont think Mir would work for that19:59
studio_no, i mean to use Mir (Canonical), that in the moment no x-app is useable under mir20:00
ogra_no, that wasnt my decision20:01
ogra_but if we wouldnt have switched to Mir we would have switched to wayland (like everyone else will soon) ...20:01
studio_not your personal, sorry, i mean the company20:01
ogra_Xorg is dead20:01
studio_if xorg is dead, why wayland support X ?20:02
ogra_(or as bad as Mir... however you want to put it, both are not done yet)20:05
studio_done yet, sorry i do not understand, the blueprints are from 2013, and it is still not "done"?20:09
ogra_it took years to write Xorg ... do you expect the replacements (like Mir or Wayland) will be faster ?20:10
studio_ogra_, no, i am just a dump "user"20:11
ogra_not sure what you mean by that20:11
ogra_running X apps isnt 100% done in either Mir or Wayland yet ... which is the reason they are not the default on any desktop yet20:12
studio_User means, why it is not working on "this" os, but it is working on "that" os ...20:12
ogra_can you point to that particular OS where Mir or Wayland are the default and suppport X apps ?20:13
ogra_to my konledge such a thing doesnt exist yet20:13
popeySee also, the answer we've given repeatedly for about a month now. It's not finished.20:14
ogra_right20:14
ogra_once that is finished it will become default on desktop20:15
studio_ogra_, i am "allways" using "ubuntu" since 12.04. I have seen, that "ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso" isn't the same as "Ubuntu Next". On Ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04 i was able to choose my desktop, for exp. xfce. but what on Ubuntu-Next? Is it the same Windows8?20:18
ogra_no, it will be like todays desktop (or similar) once it is done20:19
ogra_it is an exprerimental image for developers so they have a base to work with when i.e.  implementing support for X apps20:19
studio_ogra_, i hate Unity, Unity is not my Desktop!20:20
ogra_i cant help you then ...20:20
ogra_desktop next is the next unity desktop20:20
ogra_or will be ...20:20
studio_so ubuntu is switching to ms-windows20:20
ogra_?20:20
ogra_ubuntu isnt switching to anything ... the desktop wont change much to how it looks and feels today20:21

studio_what is ubuntu-desktop on arm?20:24
popeya task20:25
ogra_no idea20:25
ogra_i dont think we provide ubuntu-desktop on arm anymore20:25
popeystudio_: this line of grilling isn't winning you any friends you know?20:25
popeyogra_: ubuntu mate has a rpi2 edition :)20:25
ogra_that has been dropped when we stopped supporteing the panda board two years ago20:25
ogra_popey, yeah20:25
popeyit flies :)20:25
ogra_i would guess it flies20:25
studio_i have seen, that ut is also available for the rpi, right?20:25
popeynope20:26
popey!devices20:26
ubot5You can find the full list of devices, official images, community images, and works in progress at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices20:26
ogra_studio_, so there is an ubuntu mate desktop for arm, talk to the mate people20:26
popeythe supported devices are in that list20:26
studio_ogra_, where are the differents between ubuntu touch, ubuntu mate and ubuntu next?20:28
popeystudio_: what's your point?20:30
ogra_studio_, we just explained the difference ... ubuntu touch ... is essentially ubuntu for phones ... (teh touch term will soon die) ... ubuntu next is an experimental version of the upcoming desktop for developers20:30
ogra_and mate is a community flavour ... you have to ask the maintainers20:30
studio_ogra_, sorry, i can't see diffences between Ubuntu-Touch an Ubuntu-Next20:31
popeyUbuntu Next has no Android container.20:31
popeybecause it's currently on desktops, where that's not required20:32
ogra_studio_, "touch" is ubuntu for phones ....20:32
popeybut next and touch are similar, built from similar codebases20:32
ogra_ubuntu-next will become the next desktop once it is done ... in a year or so20:32
studio_popey, is there a "list" what devices supports "Ubuntu-Next"?20:34
popeyno20:34
ogra_amd64 machines only as far as i know20:34
popeywell, yes. "Computers with Intel GPUs"20:34
studio_so for what is ubuntu next?20:34
ogra_right20:34
popeya demo / preview20:34
ogra_64 bit intel ... what the developers that work on it use20:35
studio_hmm, i am right faster on my desktops with a mouse on the normal desktop than on ubuntu next?!20:36
ogra_ubuntu next isnt a thing to use20:36
ogra_so that question is moot20:37
k1lstudio_: ubuntu-next is a prototype. it is MIR + unity8. but its not for daily use.20:37
ogra_ask it again in 12 months20:37
studio_ogra_, how to use "Next" without a mouse?20:37
ogra_you dont use it ... very simple20:37
ogra_it is not designed for usage20:38
ogra_it is designed as a base for the desktop developers to work on20:38
ogra_in a year from now it will be ready for using it ...20:38
ogra_(probably a bit earlier ... )20:38
studio_ogra_, i have seen the videos on youtube, a mouse is quit faster, and i can switch the desktops with the mouse20:39
ogra_not sure what you mean20:39
studio_?20:39
ogra_my mouse is as fast on one desktop as it is on the other ... if you want it to move faster, adjust the mouse settings20:40
studio_how to switch the desktops on ubuntu-next?20:40
popeyit doesn't have multiple desktops20:40
ogra_i doubt you can20:40
ogra_since it is not for users at all20:40
popeybecause... altogether now...20:40
popey"It's not finished yet"20:40
ogra_it is an experimental thing for developers to have a base to work on20:41
ogra_if you are a developer and want to contribute patches, use it and write your patches on it20:41
ogra_every question beyond this use case i will not answer anymore from now on ...20:41

mcphailcwayne_: usually when one bit fails it all fails. The only exception is the sunrise/sunset which can fail independently21:35
cwayne_i swear we've fixed that bug like 15 times21:36
cwayne_but it keeps coming back :(21:36
cwayne_ssweeny, kyleN ^21:36
cwayne_tl;dr when a child's failing in today, nothing after it's loading21:36
ogra_jcbjoe, i guess it gets reasonable battery ... surely not as good as the bq phone with its average of 3-4 days though21:36
ssweenyi thought that was fixed21:37
ogra_the N4 is our test infrastructure device, but it doesnt get particular performance improvement love etc ...21:37
ogra_so it will likely be on an android level regarding battery life21:38
ogra_but not as good as it would be with proper optimization21:38
mcphailcwayne_: my phone is often used in difficult netwrok conditions. I may be an edge-case for scope loading21:38
cwayne_mcphail, well in that case we should be handling the edge cases better :)21:41
cwayne_ssweeny, yeah, i did too21:41
mcphailcwayne_: :)21:42
