sil2100davidcalle: https://developer.ubuntu.com/start/ubuntu-for-devices/image-channels/09:54
davidcallesil2100, I've looked there, but I don't see any more info than "Channel with a developer-oriented custom tarball, including extra payload useful for app-developers"09:56

pittiawe: hey Tony, how are you?14:22
pittiawe: would you mind commenting on bug 1459983? this seems quite unexpected to me14:22
ubot5bug 1459983 in ofono (Ubuntu) "latest version obfuscates data in test scripts" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/145998314:22
awepitti, !@#%14:23
pittiawe: bless you :)14:23
aweyea, that's my fault...14:23
aweI did this because I got tired of warning end-users to remove private data from list-modems output when working on bugs14:24
awethere's a new command-line arg ( -p, --priv ) which will output the properties un-obfuscated14:24
pittiawe: right, but that's not compatible with upstream/other distros14:25
aweunderstood, but I chose to err on the side of the end-user, not upstream14:25
pittiawe: I'm moving away the dbusmock tests from verifying these properties, but it was still strange as these are mostly for testing14:25
awepitti, list-modem gets used quite a bit for bug work14:26
pittiawe: isn't that something the apport hook should take care of? (obfuscation, I mean)14:26
awemaybe, except apport gets rarely used for bugs on the phone14:26
awepitti, I can change it ( ie. reverse the meaning of -p ) if you think this really was a bad idea on my part14:27
aweagain, I was looking at this from the point of the end-user/customer, not upstream and/or test scripts that use also use these scripts14:28
pittiawe: well, your call; I'm mostly concerned as this breaks existing behaviour, and such obfuscation should rather go into some "ofono-bug-info" script14:28
jgdxcouldn't dbusmock use dbus?14:28
pittiawe: I at least wanted to quicly discuss it and udnerstand why it was done14:28
pittiawe: fine for me if you close it as wontfix/opinion, but there was no justification in the changelog, so I wanted to ask :)14:29
awepitti, np; let me give it some thought...  so I assume we have a bunch of tests failing now?14:29
pittiawe: so far python-dbusmock (fixed in trunk, as above); I don't know of others, the ofono upload didn't trigger a lot of them14:30
awepitti, I'm going to revert the change... ( and invert the meaning of -p/--priv )14:44

SturmFlut"Scopes navigation can be confusing, needs work"15:18
mptabeato, yikwa15:18
mptYikes, even15:18
mptI think jgdx was using the word in a different sense from that article15:19
abeatompt, I would define it as a tunnel so you can reach a data network on top of cellular radio15:20
SturmFlutInsiders will get their MX4 phones "soon", might ship next week15:20
abeatompt, does that make sense?15:20
jgdxmpt, sorry, I meant the configuration, sorry15:20
jgdxdoubly sorry15:21
mptabeato, so at any time, do you have one context for Internet, one context for MMS, and possibly one context for LTE?15:21
mptA context is the thing you communicate to an APN with?15:21
mptjgdx, ah, ok15:22
abeatompt, the APN identifies the type (from the operator pov) of context you want to create15:22
abeatompt, these context can be just for internet, just for mms, or for both things at the same time15:22
abeatompt, and yes, for VoLTE too15:23
abeato(voice over LTE)15:23
mptOh, so *that*’s why LTE sometimes has its own APN settings15:23
mptI was wondering why it was ever separate from Internet15:23

SturmFlutI asked if Canonical is working on more "big" native apps like Telegram. Answer: they are focusing on scopes for their partners, and try to build frameworks which makes it easy for companies like WhatsApp and DropBox to port their stuff15:24

seb128mpt, thanks15:24
SturmFlutThey are not working on anything big like Telegram themselves15:24
abeatoyou need an APN even to register, that's the LTE APN... but usually you do not really need to care about configuring it, the modem is able to handle that15:25
mptseb128, I still think our audio APIs should be of the form PlaySoundEvenInSilentMode() and PlaySoundExceptInSilentMode() 
 That would force developers to think about when their sound is appropriate :-)15:26
seb128:-)15:26
seb128do we have a design/details of what silent mode should impact or not?15:26
SturmFlutCanonical will not provide their own services like with Ubuntu One before, they rely on third parties to make their services available on Ubuntu frameworks15:27

nik90ice9: app launch times definitely need to be improved..scrolling is a bit slow (not laggy)..overall seems good17:11
nik90ice9: I believe the scrolling is a bit slow because the scrolling doesn't take into the phone resolution but is being worked on17:12
elopiotedg: still not working, but I'm done for today. I'll be back :)17:12
nik90so it scrolls the same amount of pixels on all devices17:12
tedgelopio, Heh, okay.17:13
* elopio heard that as a joyful "okay"17:14
peat-psuwitWhere should I report a bug about i18n? I can't read Thai character.17:31
nik90peat-psuwit: not sure, but if you report it against a standard project like unity8, I am sure they will redirect it to the correct project.17:36
nik90peat-psuwit: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Avengers should help you17:36
peat-psuwitnik90: Thanks.17:43

jhodappSturmFlut, pong19:03
SturmFlutjhodapp: If you have the time, would you have a look at http://sturmflut.github.io/ubuntu/bq/2015/05/31/hacking-the-bq-part-3-supported-media-plugins-and-codecs/ and tell me if it looks complete? Haven't got much experience with gstreamer19:04
SturmFlutjhodapp: Especially the codec list at the end19:05
jhodappSturmFlut, sure thing, are you interested in pointing out the supported hardware video codecs?19:06
SturmFlutjhodapp: No, just all the codecs that this phone currently supports on OTA-3.5. It's just a reference, for the next guy who asks about a strange codec (like me with OPUS)19:07
jhodappSturmFlut, alright...if you ever become interested look at the file: /system/etc/media_codecs.xml19:08

SturmFlutjhodapp: Ooohhh19:11
SturmFlutYou know what I like the most?19:11
SturmFlut"decoder-lies-about-number-of-channels"19:11
jhodappSturmFlut, yeah, quirks of the hardware decoder19:12
SturmFlutThe quirk, a developer's best friend19:13
SturmFlutjhodapp: Hmmm, so if I get this right e.g. FLAC could be decoded in hardware on the bq, but the "androidmedia" gstreamer plugin doesn't expose it, so it is decoded by the software "flac" plugin?19:15
jhodappSturmFlut, correct, we don't use hardware decoders for audio at the moment19:15
SturmFlutjhodapp: Interesting, hardware audio decoding will probably save quite some power when implemented?19:16
jhodappSturmFlut, depends on the codec, but honestly not a whole lot anymore19:17
jhodappSturmFlut, with software decoding, Ubuntu Touch already has better playback times than Android (last time I checked our test figures at least)19:17
SturmFlutjhodapp: Glad I finally understood this19:20
jhodappSturmFlut, yeah, come join #ubuntu-media and #ubuntu-touch-music for more discussion specific to media topics19:21

OerHeksSad they didn't mention the lack of a sdcard slot19:35
SturmFlutOerHeks: Yes, 16GB without an SD slot is a bit small19:38
SturmFlutOerHeks: Apparently only ~12 GB are truly available at the end19:39
OerHeksYes that makes me change back to the BQ, or wait for the next one.19:40
SturmFlutTheoretically there is a 32GB version, which would be enough for me, my Nexus 5 has 32 GB too19:40
SturmFlut(Did I mention that the Nexus 5 is a horrible device?)19:41
dobeyeh, they're all too big devices :)19:42
BOHverkilldobey: yes that is also my problem ;)19:48

brunch875Okay okay I've thought about this.20:49
brunch875The ubuntu phone is going to converge with the desktop and be able to run google chrome.20:49
brunch875And google chrome is able to run android applications via ARC Welder.20:49
brunch875So ubuntu touch will sooner or later run android applications.20:49
brunch875Checkmate?20:49
dobeybrunch875: not exactly20:51
SturmFlutbrunch875: Would be nice if Google finally decides what their actual strategy is, instead of building multiple ecosystems and then make the one emulate the other20:52
brunch875brrrrrrr20:53
SturmFlutARC will never be able to run every Android App in the store, right?20:54
brunch875I have no idea. I  thought it was capable of running anything20:54
brunch875website states it doesn't support all Google Play Services <-yet->20:55
SturmFlutAFAIK it isn't. Any major app ships native code extensions because the Android JVM is still too limited/slow. The developer has to actively ship those extensions for x86, because ARC doesn't emulate ARM instructions.20:57
faenilmmm I get a "no space left on device" while installing unity8's builddeps on device :(20:57
brunch875"compile once run anywhere" huh20:58
SturmFlutbrunch875: "compile once run anywhere" is a lie 50% of the time20:59
SturmFlutbrunch875: It only works if your app stays within the limits of the runtime environment all the time, which is unrealistic21:00
brunch875I can't agree more with you... but it still irks me :p21:00
brunch875ironically the whole Qt thing has gone way farther on the multiplataform achievement21:02
brunch875when I found out about PyQt it made me drop my jaw21:03
brunch875anyone tried it with utouch?21:03
SturmFlutNo, I am fine with C/C++.21:04
dobeyfaenil: if you want to build unity8 on a device, you should probably create a chroot under ~/vivid-chroot or something to build in and install all the deps under21:04
faenildobey: yeah I was just discussing that mzanetti, thanks..21:05
faenilI didn't know the / partition is so limited in size21:05
faenildiscussing that with*21:05
SturmFlutWhat's the proper name for the new Ubuntu platform nowadays? "Ubuntu Phone" doesn't tell the full story, we're moving away from "Ubuntu Touch", just "Ubuntu" doesn't cut it because you can't distinguish between the "old" and the "new" Ubuntu...21:05
* SturmFlut has been wondering for a while21:06
mzanettiSturmFlut, it's just Ubuntu21:06
i_n_g_o_hello.21:07
i_n_g_o_ i red about an update to 15.04 for ubuntu-touch. afaik it was released some while ago. i don't get it in the updater. how would i get the update anyway?21:07
mzanettii_n_g_o_, no, not released yet21:08
brunch875I had no idea it was released21:08
i_n_g_o_oh21:08
i_n_g_o_that explains... ;)21:08
SturmFlutmzanetti: But isn't it two quite different things? The "old" Ubuntu is package-based, has X11 and doesn't run on phones. The "new" Ubuntu is image-based, has Mir and runs on any device.21:09
i_n_g_o_is there a way to get it pre-release?21:09
brunch875call it uTouch; it's apple-friendly and double-kinky21:09
SturmFlutbrunch875: Heh21:09
SturmFlutDidn't somebody tell us to stop putting an "u" in front of things21:10
brunch875I'll keep on referring to it as "desktop ubuntu", so people _know_ it's the real deal which can run everything21:10
mzanettii_n_g_o_, this might help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/602035/how-do-i-use-ubuntu-device-flash-with-the-bq-aquaris-e4-521:11
brunch875it's easy to assume it's not ubuntu but "ubuntu mobile" what's running on the phone21:11
i_n_g_o_mzanetti: thx21:11
mzanettii_n_g_o_, I haven't ever done it on production though. be careful21:11
mzanettiproduction devices21:11
SturmFluti_n_g_o_: If you can wait for a bit longer, OTA-4 will probably released next week and is based on 15.04 anyways21:13
i_n_g_o_@SturmFlut ah. ok. good to know. then i might wait.21:14
dobeySturmFlut: no, there is only "ubuntu"21:14
i_n_g_o_i have some issues with the current version, hoping they resolve with the next update...21:15
brunch875someone on the mailing list posted a link to the changelog21:18
SturmFlutdobey: In my experience that confuses people a lot. They don't understand that these are different systems, they don't understand that there are different app stores, they start using apt-get on the phone and think they can run any desktop app on the phone etc.21:18
brunch875SturmFlut: But it will ultimately be that way, right? Aside from arm/x8621:18
SturmFluti_n_g_o_: https://insights.ubuntu.com/2015/05/29/phone-updates-may21:18
SturmFlutbrunch875: At some point in the future, yes.21:18
dobeySturmFlut: they aren't different systems21:18
i_n_g_o_SturmFlut: thx21:18
brunch875huh my phone display doesn't power off automatically AT ALL21:20
brunch875I don't mind this 'feature' since it's not possible to activate this behaviour from settings :p21:21
i_n_g_o_the updates sound great! can't wait :)21:21
SturmFlutbrunch875: You can activate it21:29
SturmFlutbrunch875: System Settings -> Battery -> Lock when idle -> Never21:30
brunch875yeah, but I mean turning off the display to black21:31
SturmFlutAny idea on how to implement a videochat app? Probably would need support from the Media Hub I guess?21:31
SturmFlutOh, WebRTC actually works with Oxide21:34
faenildobey: should I create the chroot with click command? or standard schroot? click seems to only create it inside the default folder21:57
