SturmFlutdobey, ogra_ : ping11:37
ogra_SturmFlut, whats up ?11:38
SturmFlutogra_: Quick question! When you're debugging system and process issues on the device, which tools do you use? ps, top, vmstat, strace, tcpdump, anything else?11:39
ogra_usually ps and top and logs11:39
ogra_i rarely work on stuff that requires anything beyond that11:40
SturmFlutogra_: anything "advanced", like ftrace?11:40
ogra_s/work on/used to work on/11:40
ogra_not for the stuff i usually do ...11:40
ogra_my main environemnt are scripts, init jobs/services etc11:41
SturmFlutOkay, thanks a lot!11:41
ogra_(or the initrd)11:41
ogra_if you actually need to debug binaries thats indeed more tricky11:41
ogra_(gdb, strace, valgrind )11:41
SturmFlutogra_: Yeah, I'll get into strace in a future article.11:43
ogra_though thats all easy ... it gets really funny if you need to debug something in the android container :)11:43
ogra_(for which you need bionic linked binaries you need to cross build yourself)11:44
SturmFlutogra_: I noticed that everything in the Android container runs unconfined. Will that change at some point?11:47
ogra_i doubt that11:47
ogra_it might run unconfined, but it is inside a container :)11:47
SturmFlutogra_: Jep. it still has full access to anything, including things like /dev/kmem, right?11:50
ogra_it has its own /dev11:51
ogra_(and its own /proc)11:51
ogra_but yes, if there are identical devices in both /dev trees both systems have access to them11:51
ogra_and the in-container bits have it unconfined11:51
stgraberSturmFlut: yep, it can access any device node and so do whatever it wants on the phone. There's really no way around this though. We use Android for hardware initialization and management...11:52
stgrabereven if we restricted it to the bare minimum it needs, it'd still be allowed access to the firmware interface in the kernel which lets it do just about anything (not to mention that most of the devices it's pushing firmware to, can then do DMA) :)11:52
ogra_SturmFlut, the img that gets mounted under /system is readonly ... and lives on a readonly device, breaking out of that to make any changes to the img isnt actually possible on the running system11:53
SturmFlutogra_, stgraber: Thanks a lot. I'm just asking to confirm that I've got it right.11:53
ogra_so if you wanted to inject something you would have to do it from an unlocked recovery11:53
ogra_where you can mount that img RW11:54
SturmFlutogra_: My thought was that I don't really trust all those proprietary Android bits in the container, so it might be interesting to confine them, but at the end it's like stgraber already said, still too many possibilities to mess with the system.11:56
ogra_right, all we can do here is make it hard to change the contents ...11:56
ogra_in case of "normal" phones where the recovery.img has no adb you shouldnt have an easy way to tinker with it11:57
SturmFlutGlad I got this right11:58
pittisil2100: updated langpacks are in the overlay PPA11:58
SturmFlutpitti: Have you found anybody who'll help you with systemd?11:59
pittiSturmFlut: several people raised interest (but more like "drive-by" contributions), and I got one volunteer for more in-depth maintenance12:00
SturmFlutpitti: Great! I have no clue about init systems, otherwise I would've stepped up :/12:01

kenvandinejgdx, interesting... ok13:52
kenvandineif so then it should be translated13:52

jgdxkenvandine, it actually does, looking at my carriers pages13:52

jgdxso it stays I guess13:52
kenvandineok13:52
kenvandinefine with me13:52
seb128kenvandine, what jgdx says I guess ;-)13:52
mptkenvandine, Windows Phone calls the MMSC the “WAP Gateway”. Maybe in other languages that term is more common than MMSC, and if so, they’d probably translate “gateway”.13:53

robin-herohey all14:41
robin-heroI would like to test OTA-4, so I have two questions about this topic. First, how can I backup my phone (everything), then how can I try the OTA-4, which channel I need to use, and finally how can I restore the backup from point #1 ? :)14:43
brunch875robin-hero, be a machoman and jump into the ice without restore! Wooo!14:45
dobeyrobin-hero: i just make a tarball of $HOME, after deleting some extraneous cache files or such, and then copy it over to my workstation. if you want to back-up any apps you installed too, you can tar up /opt/click.ubuntu.com/ preserving the permissions as well, but the apps can easily be re-installed from the store, so i don't usually back those up14:46
brunch875dobey: does that keep stuff like e-mail accounts on dekko?14:47
robin-herodobey: Thanks, I will try this later.14:47
robin-herobut I didn't get answer my most important question :) which channel I need to use?14:47
dobeybrunch875: should yes. as long as you don't delete them first :)14:48
dobeyrobin-hero: rc-proposed i think14:48
* brunch875 holds the urge to jump onto the devel channel14:49
dobeybrunch875: remember, apps are confined, so can only write into certain paths underneath $HOME anyway. so they won't have any data outside $HOME at this point (maybe when we have support for allowing apps to read/write to an SD card, there will be things outside home14:49
dobeybrunch875: you definitely don't want to switch to devel-proposed14:50
brunch875what's the worst that could happen?14:50
brunch875Even if it stops booting, I'd still be able to flash from fastboot... right?14:51
dobeybrunch875: devel-proposed is wily, which is not targeted to be on any phones, and there are going to be some big changes coming in the next few months in wily, which may break stuff on the phone14:51
tathhuHmm. gotta go willy on n714:51
tathhuAand rip.14:51
dobeywell, sure. but if it boots and is totally useless, don't want to waste your time filing bugs against things that work fine on the supported phone images, and that are only broken as a matter of disruption as wily moves toward snappy based system14:52
tathhuHmm.. I'm not sure if UT drains mor battery than android, damn :D14:53

Stskeepssure, i just know how chinese ODMs work ;)17:49
ogra_practically it is surely a ton of work to move forward ... and it only makes sense if we dont bloat the generic rootfs with backwards compatibility to much17:49

SturmFluttvoss: I was looking through cking's system tool collection, and while using "eventstat" I noticed that ubuntu-location-serviced apparently causes ten timer events per second on my bq with OTA-3.5, even though Location detection is completely turned off. Could that be possible?20:22
tvossSturmFlut, I looked at that some time back, and it turns out that the android gps hal implementation for the bq keeps on "ticking" at that rate20:23
tvossSturmFlut, I might have missed something, best way to check: edit the location service upstart job override and remove the --provider gps::Provider20:24
tvossreboot, and see again20:24
SturmFluttvoss: Ah, nice to know, I was mostly asking to confirm that I actually understand things20:24
SturmFluttvoss: Any chance to turn that "ticking" off if Location detection is turned off completely? Does this increase power consumption by a noticeable margin?20:26
tvossSturmFlut, unlikely, specifically as it does not prevent deep sleep. So the answer probably is: if it is our last problem to solve, we are in a very good position power-save wise20:27
tvossSturmFlut, also note that we do not have control over the gps HAL implementation20:27
SturmFluttvoss: Ah, if it doesn't prevent deep sleep then it's a completely different story, right20:27
tvossSturmFlut, yup, it should be addressed at some point, but I think we can identify more pressing power saving issues with cking's tooling20:28
SturmFluttvoss: He just told me about his tools a couple of hours ago, I'm currently writing a special article to make them known to a wider audience. Any hints on how you "usually" use them? For example, how did you find out that this GPS "ticking" doesn't prevent deep sleep? So I don't have to bother you next time20:30
tvossSturmFlut, it's a case-by-case basis, and you probably want cking's input on the usual usage pattern. I usually just react to his findings :)20:31
SturmFluttvoss: Hehe20:31
SturmFluttvoss: I'll ask him to proof-read the article if he has the time20:32
tvossSturmFlut, that's probably best20:32
cwaynetvoss: btw, do we have any plans in place for apps that want to track location while the screen is off (think like a run-tracking app)?20:32
cwaynemaybe even just the ability to write coords to a file every x seconds could work..20:33
tvosscwayne, yup, we started talking about that ... however: it's a very delicate balance between privacy and flexibility. there obviously also is a power consumption concern but to me, the privacy concern is more important20:33
mcphailcwayne: you can run in background if the app doesn't spawn a gui (which is really hacky)20:34
tvossmcphail, and actually a known bugby now :)20:34
cwaynetvoss: right, that's certainly a fair concern, but it's also a pretty common use case really20:34
tvossmcphail, which will be fixed soon'ish20:34
mcphailtvoss: don't close it... :)20:34
tvossmcphail, we have to :)20:34
mcphailaargh20:34
SturmFluttvoss: Probably display some kind of authorisation dialogue to the user, with the option to remember the answer?20:35
tvosscwayne, sure, not questioning that :) it will require a specific trust prompt and the ability to register a hook with the service when significant changes to the position occur20:35
tvossSturmFlut, yup, that's what we call a trust prompt20:35
SturmFluttvoss: Are you collecting public input for that hook/callback API? I could come up with some quite interesting use cases I think20:40
tvossSturmFlut, we have mostly brainstormed thus far, I will ping you a link once we have a bug/document open for input20:40
SturmFlut\o/20:40
mcphailtvoss: is this API going to be available for any task to run in background, or only specific things like hooking into GPS changes?20:43
tvossmcphail, this is service-specific, not a general "run-in-background" api20:43
mcphailhmm. shame20:43
mcphailWould be good if you could permit a service to run in background for, say, 1% of screen-off time. If permission was explicit the app would still be running under the usual confinement so I can't see the privacy concern20:46
SturmFlutIs this a joke or is the new Mac OS X actually called "El Capitan"20:47
tathhuSturmFlut: I guess it tis21:08
Sleep_Walkerhi21:24
Sleep_Walkeris it known bug that Ubuntu market stops working when localized? (it broke after some recent update)21:24
Sleep_Walker'Ubuntu Store' to be precise21:25
Sleep_WalkerI'm using Czech localisation21:25
Sleep_Walkeraquaris 4.5 ubuntu edition21:26
Sleep_Walker'stops working' = after some recent update it doesn't do anything21:27
Sleep_Walkeras I noticed Ubuntu Store button localized, I tried to set tu US localization and it started to work again21:28
dobeySleep_Walker: please switch back to the translated version, and file a bug, attaching ~/.cache/upstart/scope-registry.log to the bug report.21:29
dobeythat isn't a known issue to me. should be working, and nothing has changed with the scope in some time. it might be that a translation update broke something that causes the scope to fail to start though :-/21:30
dobeyplease file a bug though. :)21:30
Sleep_Walkerafter switch it works again even localized :|21:30
Sleep_Walkerbut didn't work before21:30
dobeyoh21:31
dobeymaybe just bad timing then21:31
Sleep_Walkeris log still worth of attaching?21:31
Sleep_Walkerit didn't work for week or so21:31
dobeywould need the log from when it was failing21:31
dobeya log of it working won't help :)21:31
Sleep_WalkerI assume that log is created/truncated on boot :(21:31
Sleep_WalkerOK, I'll attach the file next time I'll meet it21:32
Sleep_Walkerthanks21:32
dobeyi don't recall when it gets truncated/rotated. you could look at the rotated compressed log files and see if it's still in there anywhere21:32
dobeyif you have one that is dated for a day that was failing, it probably has it21:32
dobeyanyway, i have to go now. if you find a useful log file, please file a bug with the log :)21:33
dobeylater21:33
Sleep_Walkerack21:33
buntywhat are the possible players for RTSP streaming on ubuntu touch?21:36
Sleep_WalkerI can see some dbus error in the log, but "preferred method for filing bugs" is not working for me21:43
Sleep_Walkereither view report or send report does nothing21:43
Sleep_WalkerI assume I chose the command correctly `adb shell ubuntu-bug unity-scope-click'21:44
buntywhat are the possible players for RTSP streaming on ubuntu touch?21:44
buntyi tried Mplayer but video codec is not working21:44
buntyVLC Control is also not working21:45
