[11:18] <kbroulik> is there a way to have an app be deployed as binary rather than launched through qmlscene? I'm trying to deploy an existing Qt app for android, ios, etc on ubuntu phone but it seems I need to go through qmlscene?
[11:18] <popey> you dont need to use qmlscene
[11:18] <popey> we have a number of binary apps which don't use qmlscene
[11:20] <popey> kbroulik: probably get better answers in #ubuntu-app-devel though
[11:21] <kbroulik> sorry, will do, thx
[11:36] <popey> willcooke: \o/
[11:44] <popey> lulz, vol+ and vol- works to take a screenshot on laptop :)
[12:39] <dandrader> mzanetti, how do I install ppa's nowadays? I did add-apt-repository && apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade on silo 04 ppa
[12:39] <dandrader> mzanetti, but the dist-upgrade does nothing
[12:39] <mzanetti> should work...
[12:40] <dandrader> mzanetti, because apt-cache policy tells that the lower versions from ubuntu repo are still preferred from the ppa ones
[12:40] <dandrader> mzanetti, so I have to do "apt-get install foo=1.2.3" to make apt install the latest version from the ppa
[12:40] <mzanetti> dandrader, ah, I think the stable-phone-overlay is pinned
[12:41] <mzanetti> dandrader, you should use the citrain tool to install a silo anyways
[12:41] <dandrader> mzanetti, last time I tried to use that tool it didn't work. but sounds like the perfect time to give it a second chance
[12:41] <mzanetti> yeah. seems to work for me lately
[12:42] <dandrader> never heard of this "pinning repos" feature before
[12:42]  * dandrader googles for it
[16:16] <balloons> ChrisTownsend, I need the unity8 desktop preview ppa, even in wily?
[16:40] <balloons> I say that because the version in the ppa is newer than vivi
[16:40] <balloons> *wily
[17:58] <ChrisTownsend> balloons: You mean the unity8-lxc stuff?
[18:13] <balloons> ChrisTownsend, yea, sorry :-)
[18:14] <ChrisTownsend> balloons: Hey, so if you always want the latest and greatest (along with potential bugs), use the PPA.
[18:16] <ChrisTownsend> balloons: Getting fixes into the archive requires the ci-train and that can sometimes take a while to get done.
[18:33] <balloons> ChrisTownsend, ack.. Just wanted to confirm that was true
