dadexix86Hi! there is this problem that came out on the Italian Ubuntu forum ( http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=597732 ), and I can definitely confirm it. If you remove an application (say Reminder, or Cut the Rope Free) it still occupies space on the phone, as one can easily see through Settings>Informations on the phone>Memory. Moreover there are many duplicated entries there (Music, Camera, Telegram and others),09:19
dadexix86 see this screenshot ( http://i59.tinypic.com/8xmvbn.png ). I could not find any bug report on this. Is this a known problem? Can you point out the correct bug report? Or should I write a new report? Against which package?09:19
Trevinhodadexix86: weird, do you also a bug in launchpad open?09:21
dadexix86Trevinho, before opening a new one I wanted to know whether it is a known problem and then add informations there. Or I would like to know against which package one should fill it, before filling it against some wrong package :)09:23
Trevinhodadexix86: not sure...09:23
popeydadexix86: known bug09:26
dadexix86popey, great, which keywords do you suggest to look for, to find it?09:26
fixxxerHey guys, I'm a software engineer who really want to support ubuntu touch. First of, can the E4.5 phone be used as a daily driver? Second, anyone here that develops for ubuntu phone?09:26
popeyi'm trying to find it09:27

popeythere are multiple bugs which all cover the same thing really09:30
dadexix86so you think that it is the same thing?09:38
popeyyes09:43
popeyit's all about click not cleaning up09:43
fixxxerAnyone?09:47
dadexix86popey,  thanks!09:47
popeyfixxxer: what?10:00
popeyfixxxer: yes, and yes.10:00
fixxxerCool. I figure that C++ is a native language to use for development?10:01
popeywe do use c++, yes.10:01
popeyas well as qml10:01
fixxxerVery well, using C++ and QT to develop for PC. So, I guess it will be an easy transistion then10:02

fixxxerAre there any emulators in the SDK or do we need to test every build in real hardware?11:43
ogra_fixxxer, there is an emulator ... but only with basic functions11:49
ogra_(no sound or sensors etc)11:50
jgdxgood for osk stuff11:50
jgdxfixxxer, you can usually develop, build and run on e.g. x86 ubuntu 'desktop'11:50
fixxxercool11:50
fixxxerCool :)11:51
ogra_depends what you build :) once you go off into the C++ world it gets arch specific ...11:51
ogra_if you stay with QML and javascript it shoulld be arch independent though11:51

jgdxabeato, quick question, any thing special I have to do to compile ofono (rilmodem)?15:01
abeatojgdx, well, just grab dependencies and do bzr bd15:02
abeatojgdx, or bootstrap-configure / make15:02
jgdxabeato, thanks15:02
abeatojgdx, np... any particular change that you are implementing?15:03
jgdxabeato, in libqofono, yes. Based off your ResetContext api15:03
jgdxjust want passing tests15:03
abeatojgdx, ah, I see... let me know if you have any problems, I can send you a compiled ofono if you prefer15:04
jgdxabeato, nah, it seems to work. bootstrap-configure installs not in local. This expected?15:04
abeatojgdx, expected if you use the bzr branch15:05
jgdxabeato, used git15:05
abeatojgdx, but wait... if you want to test ResetContexts that's only in github15:05
jgdx:)15:06
abeato:D15:06
jgdxabeato, and ResetContexts will emit ContextRemoved signals, right?15:06
abeatojgdx, right, and ContextAdded too15:06
=== oSoMoN__ is now known as oSoMoN
jgdxabeato, … but only if it actually provisioned something15:07

jgdxabeato, thanks15:07
abeatojgdx, yw15:07
jgdxabeato, I'm using dfeet and if I call ResetContexts, I get "not allowed"15:25
jgdxwhile calling DisconnectAll e.g. yields no such error15:25
jgdxabeato, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11246574/15:26
abeatojgdx, the prerequisites for the method to work are: no active contexts and ConnectionManager.Powered=false15:27
jgdxAND Powered false? :o15:28

OerHeksI have asked if bug1 could be extended with android.18:32
OerHeksbut that was not in the filosofything of opensource.18:33
kenvandineit's not so much the philosophy of open source18:33

brunch875Pah, ubuntu touch doesn't need android apps19:08
brunch875this will all be solved when the convergence hits and we're able to run desktop apps19:08
brunch875lack of games? Just install steam and run counter strike19:08
lotuspsychjebrunch875: right havent thought of that19:09
brunch875after I'm done with the exams and learning django I'm going to port a magnificent game I made for XNA on C#19:10
brunch875issue with that game is it didn't run anywhere other than windows19:11
brunch875and to be honest, it wasn't extensible at all. Had to 'compile' the maps with the game so third party maps were entirely killed19:11
=== aaron is now known as ahoneybuni
=== ahoneybuni is now known as ahoneybun
brunch875I wish they had let us choose the platform in college. XNA is even deprecated from what I know19:14
brunch875otherwise the game was veeery fun and original :D19:14
dobeybrunch875: yeah, i dobut you'll be installing steam and running half life on your phone :)19:17
brunch875mmmhh maybe it's fun with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse!19:17
dobeybrunch875: i mean, they aren't for ARM19:17
brunch875ouch, that's true19:17
dobeyand probably won't be fun on a low end x86 either19:18
brunch875but you know, valve's giving a lot of love to linux19:18
dobeylike, playing team fortress on an atom might be painful19:18
brunch875maybe they recompile for the sake of it19:18
brunch875TFC ran neatly on my dead-end computer :D19:18
brunch875but I know what you mean19:19
brunch875it's definitely not a phone game19:19
dobeyeven if valve does make steam itself, and their games available for arm, most people selling games on steam probably won't19:19
brunch875yeah, that's certain19:20
dobeylike, the steam app on android only does chat and such. they don't sell games through steam there.19:20
brunch875they should probably open up that market19:20
dobeyso i wouldn't expect them to do so on ubuntu either. they're way more interested in getting their console out than adding more platforms or games right now, i think :)19:21
brunch875They probably don't sell games via steam on android because it conflicts with google's marketplace19:21
brunch875could be different with utouch19:21
brunch875mobile games are the future after all19:21
dobeyi doubt the lack of games on android is because it conflicts with the marketplace19:23
dobeyit's probably more because they don't want to deal with multiple architectures19:24
brunch875I believe it's because google's marketplace is an obstacle since apps can only be installed through there19:25
lotuspsychje_90% of android games hold malware lol19:25
dobeynope19:26
dobeyi'm like 110% certain it's because ARM is a pain :)19:26
brunch875haha19:26
dobeythey didn't support OSX until Apple switched completely away from PPC19:26
brunch875but aside from that, just leaving steam as a game distribution service19:27
dobeyand they only added Linux support when they decided to make a console19:27
brunch875still wouldn't work because it competes with the marketplace19:27
dobeynope19:27
dobeysteam would work fine on android19:27
dobeyjust the same as amazon music works fine19:27
brunch875wouldn't everything have to funnel through the marketplace?19:27
brunch875otherwise you'd have to enable third party apks or something from settings19:28
* brunch875 flees to grab dinner19:28
dobeyno19:29
dobeysteam games don't need to be .apks themselves19:29
dobeyjust like when you install a game in steam on linux, it doesn't grab a deb an install it19:29

taiebotStskeeps: What would i need to do to port it to UT?19:56
Stskeepsi wouldn't know, but if the ofono sim kit is anything like it used to be.. then it's a UI excersise and a background process one19:56

mcphailbschaefer: ping22:36
bschaefermcphail, hello22:37
mcphailbschaefer: Hi - there are a few of us struggling to get sdl2 working with mir on ubuntu-touch. Various segfaults etc when launching an app. Do you have any pointers to what we are doing wrong?22:38
mcphailbschaefer: example backtrace: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11249985/22:38
bschaeferhmm i've seen that protobuff crash before (but usually the stack is corrupt)22:39
bschaefermcphail, one thing would be to try to print out SDL_GetError()22:39
bschaeferdouble check the screen size is correct22:39
bschaeferwhat app are you trying to run?22:40
mcphailbschaefer: it is crashing in SDL_Init, so can't even get that far22:40
mcphailbschaefer: various things, but, for example https://github.com/Sturmflut/ubuntu-touch-sdl-template22:40
bschaefero hmm, another issue (i think i had fixed?) was it tries to use OpenGL22:41
bschaefersince there are opengl headers around22:41
=== salem_ is now known as _salem
bschaefer(well i have fixed the opengl issue somewhere... im pretty sure its upstream/debian)22:42
mcphailbschaefer: SDL_INIT_VIDEO is def calling mir, but everything gets lost after that22:42
bschaefermcphail, do any SDL2 apps work for you?22:42
bschaefermcphail, also i was running into this weird issue where i needed sudo to actually connect with the server22:43
bschaefertry running sudo ./app22:43
mcphailbschaefer: I had built a custom sdl2 stack (directly on the phone) a few weeks ago which seemed to run. But I lost it with an update (didn't know it would destroy /usr/local). Been trying for a couple of days to recreate in a click chroot but that hasn't worked22:43
bschaeferthe issue i was having needing sudo to run an app started sometime this month22:44
bschaefernot really sure how that happened...22:44
* bschaefer also isn't sure if thats even relevant here22:44
bschaefermcphail, if you're compiling it your self make sure you've --disable-video-opengl22:44
bschaefersince it thinks opengl is on the phones since the GL*/ headers are there22:45
bschaefershould be in the debain/rules file though22:45
mcphailbschaefer: ok, I'll try that. Been compiling from upstream rather than the debian source22:45
bschaeferhmm that could be an issue, the upstream source doesn't have anything new mir wise22:46
mcphailbschaefer: doesn't seem to in the changelogs. stock ubuntu build does the same, anyway22:47
mcphailbschaefer: I was making a custom build because sdl does everything it can to avoid building mir support! Didn't know if the Ubuntu/debian config had picked up on that22:48
mcphailbschaefer: I'm off to bed now, but thanks for the pointers. I'll experiment over the next few evenings22:48
bschaefermcphail, i had patched it to where it should be supporting mir22:48
bschaefermcphail, another thing to try22:48
bschaefer--disable-mir-shared22:48
bschaefererr22:48
bschaefer--disable-mir-shared22:49
bschaefer--disable-shared-mir22:49
bschaeferone of those haha22:49
mcphail:)22:49
bschaeferi forgot off the top of my head22:49
bschaefermcphail, have a good night! Poke me if its still failing22:49
mcphailbschaefer: cheers22:49
