dholbachgood morning06:40
pragomerhello. wanted to ask for an advice what ubuntu phone to buy for first.. in a few weeks there will be (in hope so for europe) above the bq 4.5 the bq hd5 and the meizu phone.. trying to choose between the last two phones. what I thought.. meizu will have the better hardware.. bq is in europe (better for reclamations and garanty)... normally I would prefer an european vendor.. but the meizu is (at this time I need a new phone) the be08:47
pragomertter hardware.08:47
pragomercould you give me some advice.. perhaps information I did not think on until now08:47
popeypragomer: the bq devices have sd slots and two sim slots if that's important to you08:50
popeythe meizu doesn't have multiple sim slots or an sd slot08:50
pragomerok.. this is also a point to BQ... what do YOU own? :-)08:52
pragomertried the 4.5 ?08:52
pragomeris it ok?08:52
popeyi have the bq e4.5 and a meizu mx408:57
popeyI dont have the e5 hd yet08:57
* RAOF really liked the e4.5 form factor, and is sad it went through the wash.08:58
JamesTaitGood morning, people! Happy Friday, and happy World Environment Day! 😃09:02
pragomeroh.. you have the mx4.. I think you bought it with android and flashed it with ubuntu-touch? do you feel a strong performance advantage to the 4.5 ?09:02
popeypragomer: the mx4 is quite a bit more performant than the e4.509:03
popeymore RAM too09:03
pragomermm... my direction goes to bq I think... unfortunatly I am without any phone at the moment.. could I expect the BQ HD5 to be bought in the next 2-3 weeks?09:06
popeyI understand the E5 HD goes on sale next week.09:07
pragomeroh.. thats cool.. think I will take the E5 than09:08
pragomerthank you.. helped me with my decision09:08
popeyno problem09:09

brunch875I noticed an issue with the 'swipe from bottom' to display tabs on the browser10:02
brunch875if the phone is on landscape mode, it won't work10:02
ogra_brunch875, how would it ... the "bottom" edge is occupied by a system gesture in that case10:06
brunch875well... by using the new 'side' edge10:07
ogra_she3ll rotation will fix that once it landed10:07

ogra_but as long as the system gesture is sticky the browser cant occupy that egde10:08

brunch875it's good to hear that10:08
popeyogra_: i have a 14.04 server and have added the sdk team ppa and upgraded, adb isn't seeing my nexus 710:15
popeyogra_: is there some magic I need to do on 14.04 to make adb work correctly?10:15
popeyit shows in dmesg10:16
popeyand adb devices shows it on another machine, so i know the tablet and cable are good10:16
popeyandroid-tools-adb is 4.2.2+git20130218-3ubuntu36 from sdk ppa10:17
popeywhich is a bit older than the one on my 15.10 desktop10:17
mandelogra_,  crazy question, but do you know what happened with Ubuntu-engineering mainling list, I got unsubscribed10:18
popeythere's a new list10:19

abiqueHi, I just got this touch screen from dell, and I wonder if anyone could recommend a software to try the touchscreen with gestures?10:20
ogra_mandel, what popey said ... new teams ...10:20
mandelogra_, yep, makes sense10:21
mandelmoving moving moving ja10:21
ogra_popey, you really dont want to run your converged desktop off an SD card even if it claims "30 times faster than a snail" :)10:35
popeyheh10:35
popeywell, desktop on the phone, data on the card10:35
ogra_yeah10:35
ogra_i hope we will get some real SSD in the converged phone ... even if its only 64G or some such10:36
ogra_heck, even 32G and SD slot would be fine :)10:36

mcphailOn the subject of SD cards, can we get default read/write permission to a directory on the sd card for apps please?11:06
ogra_not without someone implementing a proper SD crad service in the framework11:07
ogra_which we currently do not have11:08
mcphailogra_: we don't really need an sdcard service, just a default inclusion of /media/*/*/appname.user/11:09
ogra_we do ... so you cant just fiddle with apparmor to break security :P11:09
* mcphail is busted11:09
ogra_also app separation is close to impossible to do securely on a vfat system11:09
ogra_until these points are solved i doubt there will be SD support for confined apps11:10
mcphail:(11:10
ogra_all "workarounds" you could do currenly would only expose security bugs that would be closed immediately11:11
ogra_(so these workarounds wouldnt get you very far)11:11
mcphailext4 for the sdcard would be a good thing, though11:12
ogra_mcphail, except that they wont work in your moms win XP desktop :)11:22
* mcphail wonders how many windows-only households have an Ubuntu phone...?11:24
ogra_mcphail, long term hopefully many11:25
mcphailis the MTP interface filesystem-agnostic?11:25
ogra_yes11:27
ogra_pmcgowan, when will we get the proper initramfs on the arale ? it is still not in the image11:28
mcphailso it seems daft to stick to a broken filesystem for the tiny percentage of users who are (a) windows only and (b) only willing to write to the SD card when it has been removed from the phone11:28
Elleosil2100: are the any commit logs for wily images? trying to track down a regression in recent images, so would be handy to know what landed when11:28
ogra_mcphail, sure, someone needs to implement support for managing filesystemm permissions11:29
ogra_(before we could support extX)11:29
mcphailfair enough. The added advantage is we could store our huge video files11:29
ogra_yes, but i guess it is a man-month of preparation work needed to implement it11:30
mcphailabandoning vfat might also remove a spectre of MS patent trolls11:31
ogra_it will definitely not be abandoned11:31
ogra_it will stay the default ... but  optionally support for ext2 or 4 should be added11:31
mcphailthat would be a pity. Seems rather regressive11:32
ogra_mass compatible :)11:32
pmcgowanogra_, sorry whats the issue? I was not aware11:32
dadexix86I personally would like to have something a bit more secure than FAT as a default and give FAT as an optional choice, not the other way around.11:33
popeyshould have an encrypted file formatted as ext4 inside :)(11:34
ogra_pmcgowan, there is an ubuntu-touch-generic-initrd in the overlay PPA since 4 weeks waiting for inclusion into a device tarball ... allowing full access to the arale diskspace (the same initrd is used on krillin and vegeta already but despite me asking a million times it still isnt in arale)11:34
brunch875I thought krillin was a coincidence but vegeta wiped all doubts11:35
ogra_pmcgowan, sil2100 said last week in a landing meeting he would poke you abut it ...11:35
pmcgowanogra_, ok let me follow up, cant find a bug on it11:35
ogra_there isnt a bug ...11:36
pmcgowanogra_, so I should see a package in the PPA?11:37
ogra_(would have to be against the device tarball build scripts)11:37
ogra_pmcgowan,  initramfs-tools-ubuntu-touch - 0.94vivid511:39
pmcgowanof course ok11:39
ogra_i think arale is still at vivi1 or vivid211:39
pmcgowanogra_, apt-cache tells me its the latest one11:42
matv1about the telegram app. I have over the last few weeks been seeing the app just not syncing (on the bq). Its happened plenty of times. I no there are newer mssgs because i see them on another client.11:51
matv1but the app does not freeze or chrash (which is what the current critical bugs are about)11:52

ogra_pmcgowan, apt doesnt tell you anything about the device tarball12:01
pmcgowanogra_, was surprised to see the package at all12:02
ogra_well, on devices where we have full initrd access (nexus) it is useful ... and thus it is seed12:02
matv1popey regarding that change: has the purpose of this channel changed? I do now recall something or some questionaire pass by on the mailinglist but I not sure if anything came of it12:03
ogra_on arale, vegeta and krillin it isnt used ... but its only a few bytes12:03

ogra_/dev/disk/by-partlabel/userdata   12G  4,5G  6,4G  42% /home12:05
ogra_pmcgowan, as long as these numbers dont match we still use the old initrd (partition is 27G here, but userdata does only fill 12G)12:05
pmcgowanogra_, thats bad12:05
ogra_right12:06
ogra_which is why i brought it up ;)12:06
pmcgowank will file a bug and pester till done12:06
ogra_thanks :)12:06
popeymatv1: nope. :)12:06
pmcgowanogra_, although I recall something about not shipping on the larger disks, will also check12:08
ogra_pmcgowan, we use mmcblk0p16 for userdata on arale ... the fs isnt expanded to the full disk size (which the initrd does)12:09
pmcgowanogra_, yeah but I think we aonly sell on 16GB devices12:09
ogra_if we didnt want to use all of the partition, then fine ... (though i wonder why)12:09
ogra_pmcgowan, sure, and we install with 8G fs12:10
ogra_(same image everywhere ... that initrd cares for the size differences (and is used on vegeta)12:10
pmcgowanogra_, so I am confused, we are gettign 12GB of user data12:11
matv1popey: cool.12:12
ogra_pmcgowan, *i* am ... not sure if the factory images do ... afaik we use the same 8G size everywhere and only expand on first boot12:12

Elleokenvandine: sure thing14:14
kenvandinethx14:14
kenvandinethe 15.04 branch doesn't have CI setup, so no builds of that yet14:14

kenvandinebut we can at least get it in trunk14:14
Elleookay, cool14:14
ElleoMirv: I did some testing of the maliit-framework package, there's some tests that fail but they seem to have been introduced by some other change in image 213 which causes the visibility/keyboard height not to be reported, besides that everything seems fine14:17

Elleokenvandine: do the autopkg tests get run as part of a CI run at the moment?15:28
dobeyElleo: yes and no, depending on what you mean exactly :)15:29
Elleodobey: ken's just added some new autopkg tests as part of this MR: https://code.launchpad.net/~ken-vandine/content-hub/url-dispatcher-tests/+merge/261126 I'm wondering if they've already been executed as part of the CI run on that, or if I should check them manually myself15:30
dobeyElleo: no, CI doesn't run them at that point. they will be run during migration of the package, though15:31
Elleookay, I'll see about trying to run them myself before approving the MR then15:31
dobeythat test looks a bit scary to me though15:32
Elleooh?15:33
dobeyit's starting Xvfb on a static display address for one15:35
Elleois there a better way of handling that? ^ kenvandine?15:36
dobeywell dbus itself doesn't require X, and i don't think the other commands being used do either15:36
dobeywould probably be better if each test was pulled out to individual tests, and they were run using dbus-test-runner or similar15:39
dobeythis level of integration testing could probably also be run during the build of the package as well15:40

kenvandinei had to do the Xvfb stuff to get it working, i followed pitti's blog post16:47
kenvandinestatic display number probably isn't great, but it seems ok and i trust pitti :)16:47
kenvandinei copied that from his :)16:47

kenvandinesure16:49
kenvandinegood idea16:49
kenvandineElleo, http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/auto-pkg-test.html16:50
kenvandinehas some instructions on running the tests16:50
kenvandineElleo, although i found it easier to build the source package, then use that for adt-run16:51

kenvandinethat's what i did to run it16:51

kenvandinewill take 30 minutes or so16:54
kenvandinemaybe 1516:55
Elleokenvandine: okay :)16:55
kenvandineadt-run will build the packages then run them installed in qemu16:56
Elleookay, cool16:58
dobeykenvandine: why do they need to be run when installed? i presume the content-hub-test-share isn't an installed thing?17:15
kenvandinedobey, it is17:15
kenvandineit's part of the content-hub-testability package17:16
kenvandineand it expects it to be handled by the service17:16
kenvandinethey provide automated response to transfer requests17:16
dobeykenvandine: i would refactor these tests to be individual tests and run with dbus-test-runner, and also during build, if it were me; afaict, they should be run both during build, and against the installed packages.17:18
kenvandinedobey, and this is really integration testing, so works better this way17:18
dobeykenvandine: do those content-hub-test-foo things require a DISPLAY?17:18
kenvandinethey don't17:18
dobeythen i would get rid of the X dependency there17:18
kenvandinebut it was giving me problems17:18
kenvandineand then i found pitti's blog post solving a similar issue17:18
kenvandineand just stole his code :)17:18
