dholbachyep15:03
dholbachQUESTION: can you talk a bit about which convergence bits are going to land real soon now?15:04
wakawaka_omg! why is ubuntuonair.com sends me to #juju? when you press that orange button (Join from your IRC Client!)15:09
balloonswhoops! sorry guys!15:10
balloonswe'll fix now15:10
nik90popey, balloons: It will be a brand new device that they will build to support the convergence feature. Release date was not announced afaik..15:10
popeysorry!15:11
wakawaka_np15:11
yoann54cool15:11
rarararaQUESTION: Will it be possible to flash android on the meizu or bq devices? Also, reflash ubuntu on them?15:12
wakawaka_someone ate my sandwich :(((15:12
popeyoooops15:12
balloonsplease re-type your questions if you asked!15:12
jorik_QUESTION: Will the Meizu mx4 support the convergence feature it's ready?15:12
rvrrararara: Yesterday bq released the instructions to flash E4.5: http://www.mibqyyo.com/articulos/2015/06/01/installation-process-ubuntu-android/15:12
wakawaka_rvr: gg bq!15:13
mhall119rararara: at least on the Bq Aquaris 4.5 Ubuntu Edition, they removed the Android softkeys from the screen, so flashing Android onto that probably wouldn't work real well15:13
rarararaQUESTION: what would be necessary for a ubuntu phone to support a technology similar to kde connect?15:13
LexiconQUESTION: I know Unity 7's days are numbered, but is there a way to hack or workaround Ubuntu 14.04 to make the graphical shutdown prettier? If windows are open on shutdown, they get kind of mangled.15:14
rarararamhall119: on-screen buttons?15:14
mhall119rararara: yeah15:14
raslinare we going to get a sip phone15:14
rararararvr: thats awesome!15:14
raslinSip phone ?15:16
yoann54is there tutos to port an angular or meteor js app to ubuntu touch ?15:17
wakawaka_QUESTION: when will the ubuntu phone run snappy ubuntu core?15:17
djvlQUESTION: why is the new e5 ubuntu phone not equipped with LTE (4G), coz bq has a model which does?15:19
SilviuQUESTION: Why did you guy ditched the "Love the bottom edge" design direction from Ubuntu for phones? Ubuntu now has an edge that it's not used all that much, not to mention that there is no longer an exit option for apps.15:20
raslinhey can you let me know if you are going to create a sip client for ubuntu phone?15:22
tjukkolaQUESTION: Will Ubuntu phone be able to resolve http://runeaudio.local at some point? I think it needs an avahi/bonjour support for that?15:22
justCarakasQUESTION any update on the today scope and HERE maps app ?15:23
justCarakasfor the nexus 4 and stuff15:23
mhall119justCarakas: the HERE maps app, or the AGPS provider?15:24
rarararaQUESTION: follow up to the previous question about kde connect: do you plan on running your workstations on the announced bq powerphone? Sorry for passive aggression...15:26
mj_Can you please let me know when the updates that were announced last week are going to be rolled out?15:27
EzerchEhi15:29
mj_I also want to ask when the ubuntu phone is going to be more user friendly. I have spent hours on end to add more ringtones, and I still haven't managed. It's so complicated. When I had an Android device, I just used Zedge and ringtones were added in a few seconds...15:29
justCarakasmhall119: I want to have a A to B navigation on my nexus 415:29
EzerchEWhy you removed windows installer from website? It only downloads ISO file. Thanks.15:29
raslinQUESTION:are you looking at geting a sip client or integration ?15:29
nik90mj_: which updates are you referring to? Got a link?15:29
justCarakasmhall119: how doesn't matter to me, I just want it :)15:29
mhall119justCarakas: there's a separate image channel you should use to get better location data on the N415:30
mhall119justCarakas: if you ubuntu-device-flash with ubuntu-touch/devel-proposed/here you get the closed-source HERE AGPS provider, which helps you get your location faster15:32
mhall119there's also a GPS navigation app in the store now that uses OpenStreetMap15:32
mhall119it's very very alpha though, I'm helping Marcos test it15:32
=== mzanetti|food is now known as mzanetti
mhall119justCarakas: see https://plus.google.com/u/0/+MichaelHall119/posts/JwvjMXrLB4h for more on that app15:34
mj_these updates: https://insights.ubuntu.com/2015/05/29/phone-updates-may/15:34
SilviuQUESTION: Is there a serious reason why the notifications for emails, SMS, etc on Ubuntu Touch are in the far left side? When you swipe from the top you need to scroll all the way to the left each time. Notifications seem to be the most used option up there.15:37
nik90mj_: ah those updates..well many of them will land in OTA-4 which is due for either this or the next week.15:37
mhall119Silviu: I swipe down from above the notifications icon, takes me right ot it15:38
mhall119being on the far left, you can even swipe down from anywhere to the left of it15:38
mj_ok nik90. Thanks15:38
jrwrenreally? why not? there are lots of pretty advanced GLES based games on other platforms.15:38
mj_Can you pls answer my question about the Ubuntu phone being more user friendly?15:39
justCarakasmhall119: thx :) but that should land in the next couple of weeks on the nexus 4 stable, or not ?15:39
mhall119mj_: it's very subjective which features are enough to make it "user friendly", so it's hard to say when it will reach that point for you without knowing what specific features you need for that15:40
justCarakasmhall119: I use ubuntu touch as my main and only phone so I'm not sure if bleeding edge is smart :)15:40
mhall119justCarakas: I don't think it's planned to land in the Nexus 4 images in the normal channel at all, because it's not open source15:40
mhall119justCarakas: but I could be wrong, you should ask in #ubuntu-touch about that15:41
Silviumhall119: that is a great usage tip. it's been driving me insane.15:41
mj_@mhall119 - I'm talking about simple tasks like adding more tunes for a ringtone15:41
mhall119Silviu: do you also know that you can pull down half-way from anywhere, then slide your finger side-to-side to scroll between indicators?15:42
raslinohh :(  experia Z15:42
mhall119mj_: I don't think there's any work in progress on that, so it might be a while15:42
Silviumhall119: I know that, I was doing that all the time and it was annoying, having to constantly swipe left whenever I got a message or email15:43
mhall119Silviu: yeah, swiping down as close to the desired indicator as possible is the fastest/easiest way to get to it15:43
mj_yes15:47
justCarakasQUESTION thank you for doing this again at the regular time so I can follow again, yea that was not a question, I lied, I'm sorry :'(15:47
balloonsany further questions? Something we haven't answered?15:48
simion314QUESTION: is it possible to run the Ubuntu with unity8 in virtualbox?15:48
raslinquestion: Bluetooth KBD and mouse. are you going to have a rethink about not supporting15:48
Sid__could someone please repost the wiki page for the designs made by mpt?15:49
yoann54a live coding of an ubuntu touch with qt would be nice in future...15:49
mhall119yoann54: what do you mean by live coding?15:50
balloonshttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity8inLXC15:51
simion314yeah, my machine is on 12.0415:52
Silviuballoons: this is beyond cool15:54
raslinmy last question ?15:54
rarararaQUESTION: Is qml interpreted every time I launch an app on UT? Or is there some caching going on. Has the app launch time improved?15:55
yoann54i mean someone that can show how to handle with qt15:55
raslinthanks15:56
popeyThanks everyone!15:56
tjukkolaQUESTION: Will Ubuntu phone be able to resolve http://runeaudio.local at some point? I think it needs an avahi/bonjour support for that?15:57
mhall119raslin: it's Javascript, so it's interpreted. The QML scene-graph is now being cached, which helped app startup quite a bit from where it was originally, and we're still investigating other options to improve startup time15:57
balloonstjukkola, we answered on the video, but yes. Someone simply needs to make a client for it and it should just work, afawl15:58
balloonsthank you all!15:58
tjukkolaok. Thanks. Waiting for a client for it.16:00
