mptseb128, it needs design review, but I’ve just completed a draft of the display settings for pocket PC. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BrightnessAndDisplays?action=diff&rev2=23&rev1=19>10:57
seb128mpt, thanks10:57
mptLet me know if you spot any huge mistakes :-)10:57
mandelogra_, have we changed the way we write the logs from daemons started via upstart?10:59
mandelogra_, I'm starting location and /var/log/ubuntu-location-service.log is not created.. I'm very puzzled11:00
ogra_mandel, we added a workaround for the boot loop issue ... which results in upstart not logging any system job output ... the upstart fix has landed but the kernel cmdline option to enable logging again has not been dropped yet11:03
ogra_mandel, ondra shold know when it is planned to be dropped11:04
mandelogra_, Iyou just made me swear in spanish, so that you know it11:04
ogra_do you swear in other languages usually ? :)11:04
mandelogra_, making me got crazy for the last hours or so.. ok I'll do a workaround for my tests11:04
mandelogra_, yes, in german.. Kartoffelkloesse!!!!!!!!!!!11:05
ogra_lol11:05
* ogra_ can see how "Potato Dumplings" might be a swear word for some :)11:05
seb128mpt, k, looks good from a first glance but the "what to display on the external monitor" is a bit tricky, you drafted an UI that looks like the current desktop UI, but we can't really use that, we are going to need to add a desktopUI mode to the phone settings ... should we use the exact same design than on the desktop?11:07
mandelogra_, that is ofcourse in all devices, right? or can I grab another one?? Although I need to test a specific one.. :-/11:08
ogra_mandel, technically only bq11:10
mandelogra_, sweet, thx11:11
ogra_i'm not sure if ondra somehow applied it to other devices too11:11

joc_davmor2: wondered if could get some notes on debugging Bluetooth issues put up there11:41
davmor2joc_: it's not a page as far as I know it's just a way to search other pages11:41
davmor2joc_: bluetooth I this is covered in 2 parts the indicator and then system-settings11:42
joc_davmor2: yep, so for instance the location-service page has a section about debugging things11:43
joc_davmor2: could we have a similar section for Bluetooth stuff on one of these pages - can then refer people filling bugs to that for instructions11:43
davmor2joc_: it's a wiki ;)11:44

czajkowskikenvandine: ogra_ Plan B works!13:41
* ogra_ hugs czajkowski 13:41

mcphailpopey: cheers14:04
awepeat-psuwit, take a look at rilmodem/radio-settings.c14:08
awepretty sure there's no asynchronous way to do this.  The core queries the driver, which responds with the pref14:08
sturmflut2Oh wow. The Document Viewer now supports SD cards and renders PDF documents at lightning speed! Who do I have to thank for this?14:15
jgdxsturmflut2, Stefano Verzegnassi for sd it seems.14:17
peat-psuwitawe: I can't find such code.14:17
awepeat-psuwit, what exactly are you trying to do?14:18
sturmflut2jgdx: Thanks!14:18
aweif you're talking about RadioSettings::TechnologyPreference14:19
awemy point was that the driver notifies the core, only when the core makes a query14:19
aweit's not event-based14:19
aweand the code that handles these queries is in rilmodem/radio-settings.c14:19
peat-psuwitawe: If someone set TechnologyPreference to 3G in one sim, TechnologyPreference for another sim have to change.14:19
awesure, and I explained to you that you'd need to implement some kind of mechanism in your device plugin14:20
aweeg. if the user sets a pref for SIM1, then you'd need to catch this and call into the device plugin to handle changing the pref for the other SIM14:20
aweagain, we do similar things for handling GPRS 'Attached'14:21
aweplease take a look at the mtk device plugin, and the mtkmodem gprs code for an example14:21
peat-psuwitI see in src/radio-settings.c that this settings is cached. I can't see how I can make it uncache and re-query radio settings driver.14:21
awepeat-psuwit, so the rates supported by the modem aren't supposed to change.  I believe the way this works in the MTK impl is that the modem is restarted when the 3g capability is switched from one modem to the other14:26
aweabeato, ^^ can you confirm?14:26
awepeat-psuwit, I never promised this was easy...14:26
awe;)14:26
peat-psuwitawe: And I never thing it is.LOL14:27
abeatopeat-psuwit, so for your dual SIM phone, you can have 3G only for one of the slots?14:33
peat-psuwitabeato: Yes.14:33
jgdxabeato, awe, when nuntium sees a preferred Internet context with MMSC, does it treat it as a preferred MMS context?14:34
abeatojgdx, yes14:34
jgdxabeato, great, thanks14:35
abeatopeat-psuwit, ok, interesting... first thing, note that TechnologyPreference is not about changing the slot with 3G capabilities, but about forcing the modem to register for a certain technology14:35
awejgdx, so does my original reply make sense now?14:35
aweabeato, I think we were mixing ModemTechnologies and TechnologyPref14:36
abeatopeat-psuwit, so you want something different... in the case of MTK modems we created a specific DBus interface to handle swithcing the slot with 3G caps14:36
aweabeato, the modem does indeed cache the ModemTechs14:36
jgdxawe, yes sir14:36
awes/the modem/ofono/14:36
aweabeato, the modem he's working with only allows one modem to have 3g14:37
awe( sound familiar )14:37
aweand he needs to implement something similar to our attach logic14:38
mptseb128, I just hung System Settings by tapping the Back button. This time it’s still running. What can I do to debug it?14:38
awewhere radio-settings would notify the device plugin, and cause the other modem to set it's pref to 2g14:38
seb128mpt, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace#Already_running_programs14:38
mptthanks14:39
abeatoawe, right, that's what I am trying to explain14:39
mpt(I’m assuming all that works on the phone too)14:39
abeatopeat-psuwit, check doc/mtk-settings-api.txt14:39
abeatopeat-psuwit, awe there is a property called Has3G, when set it resets the modem to change the slot that has 3G caps14:40
aweabeato, this causes a modem reset, correcT?14:40
abeatopeat-psuwit, take a look at the implementation you might need something similar, bit for rilmodem14:40
abeatoawe, yes14:40
aweabeato, which then causes the ofono core to re-query the supported rates14:41
awepeat-psuwit, does that make sense ^^14:41
abeatoawe, right14:41
abeatopeat-psuwit, for MTK changing the slot with 3G needs a modem reset, don't now if it is the same for qualcomm modems14:41
peat-psuwitabeato: my modem doesn't reset when this setting is changed.14:41
abeatopeat-psuwit, then it should be easier ;)14:42
awepeat-psuwit, OK, that's good news.  That said, you might leverage the Set3G work still... just minus the reset logic14:42
abeatopeat-psuwit, but in any case you need something specific for your driver14:42
awe+114:42
abeatopeat-psuwit, a specific DBus interface as we did for MTK14:42
abeatopeat-psuwit, note that this is very device-dependent... as you see for MTK a reset is needed, in your case is not14:43
=== dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk
peat-psuwitabeato: When a value is set on a modem, should ModemTechnologies change? How about TechnologyPreference?15:06
abeatopeat-psuwit, TechnologyPreference tells the modem the preferred radio technology, to force, for instance, using 2G instead of 3G15:07
peat-psuwitabeato: s/a value/the has3G property/15:07
abeatopeat-psuwit, ModemTechnologies is the list of avialable technologies for that modem15:07
abeatoit is supposed to be kind of static15:07
abeatopeat-psuwit, a very different thing is to change the slot with *3G capabilities*15:08
abeatopeat-psuwit, in the case of MTK that is set with Has3G15:08
abeatopeat-psuwit, as a modem reset is needed, most ofono atoms are restarted15:08
abeatopeat-psuwit, and ModemTechnologies changes to reflect the change on slot with 3G caps15:09
abeatopeat-psuwit, to be cleat ModemTechnologies has the set of values that TechnologyPreference can have15:09
peat-psuwitabeato: If one modem has 3G capabilities, another modem can't has umts in ModemTechnologies15:10
abeatopeat-psuwit, correct15:10
abeato(well, if the modem has that limitation obviously)15:10
peat-psuwitabeato: On MTK, that happens when the modem is reset. When should it happen in my case.15:11
abeatopeat-psuwit, what I am trying to say is that we do *not* use TechnologyPreference to change the current capabilities of the slot: we thought about that, but taking into account that it was very specific to our hardware we implemented the MtkSettings interface15:12
peat-psuwitabeato: I mean, how should ModemTechnologies be changed?15:13
abeatopeat-psuwit, it should reflect which radio techs you can register to without affecting the other slot... maybe that works as a definition for you15:14
peat-psuwitabeato: As ModemTechnologies should be static, then modem should restart when 3G capabilities change, right?15:30
abeatopeat-psuwit, well for MTK it was the case... do not take this as something you necessarily must do the same way. Maybe in your case ModemTechnologies could be always 2G,3G for both slots, and when you set TechPreference to 3G for slot 1, slot 2 notices, changes TechPreference and  emits a PropertyChanged signal15:33
abeatopeat-psuwit, if you do not need to reset that's what I would do15:34
peat-psuwitabeato: That is my initial plan. But I'm finding the way to "changes TechPreference and  emits a PropertyChanged signal"15:35
abeatopeat-psuwit, what you certainly need to do is to enable some communication mean between the driver instances for each of your slots, probably using your modem plugin15:35
abeatopeat-psuwit, take a look to mtk.c:mtk_set_attach_state15:36
abeatopeat-psuwit, it solves a similar communication issue15:36
abeatopeat-psuwit, and mtk_detach_received15:36
abeatobasically you call them from a driver atom instance, then the plugin calls the other driver atom instance15:37
=== dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader
peat-psuwitabeato: Well, in that case, when the sim data service is enabled, another sim data service will be disabled too.15:54
abeatopeat-psuwit, yep, for MTK we could have only one modem attached at a time... but again I pointed this out as an example of how to do communication between different driver instances15:56
abeatopeat-psuwit, ymmv15:56
peat-psuwitabeato: I have the plan for that now.15:56
peat-psuwitabeato:  I'm finding the way to change TechnologyPreference in dbus.15:57
abeatopeat-psuwit, great, looking forward to see the patches ;)15:57
peat-psuwitabeato: What I'm finding is how notify radio-settings atom when TechnologyPreference changes.15:59
