ahayzenah00:24
ahoneybunI think it would be awesome00:24
ahoneybunsince they are in pdf and document viewer can read them00:24
ahayzenwould be really cool if you could get them in a scope00:25
ahayzenthen open from the scope into docviewer00:25
ahoneybunahayzen: I have no clue what so ever about doing scopes00:25
ahayzenneither do i lol i need to make one at some point, cwayne would be your man when he is about00:26

robin-heroHey all! I tried to compile ubuntu-docviewer-app, but when I try to start it, I get the following error: module "QtQuick" version 2.3 is not installed.07:42
robin-heroAny suggestion?07:42
robin-heroI use Ubuntu 14.0407:42
sturmflut2robin-hero: From what I see in the manifest, the app needs the ubuntu-sdk-14.10 framework07:43
robin-herosturmflut2: So I can't use it on 14.04?07:44
sturmflut2robin-hero: I am not fully sure if the SDK PPA includes more recent frameworks, I'm on 15.0407:45
robin-herosturmflut2: I'll try it07:45
dpmrobin-hero, if you are on 14.04, you'll need to start the app on a 14.10 or 15.04 emulator07:53
robin-herodpm: Thanks, but I've installed SDK from ppa and just creating 15.04 kit. So do you think it isn't solve my problem?07:55
dpmrobin-hero, the issue is that you're on Ubuntu 14.04, which does not have QtQuick 2.3 available, which is part of the 14.10 framework that the docviewer app uses. In order to get the app running, you need to either do it in an Ubuntu host that has that framework (e.g. Ubuntu 14.10 or newer) or run an emulator (based on 14.10 or newer) from your Ubuntu 14.04 host07:59
dpmrobin-hero, so with your 15.04 kit you'll be able to compile the app, but to run it you'll need a 14.10 (or later) environment08:00
=== davidcalle_ is now known as davidcalle
robin-herodpm: Thanks. then I'll try with emulator. :)08:00
dpmrobin-hero, wise choice :)08:01
dpmrobin-hero, this should get you started: https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/apps/sdk/tutorials/using-the-ubuntu-emulator/08:01
robin-heroThanks08:02
dpmrobin-hero, np, anything in particular you're trying to do with docviewer? Any bugs you're trying to fix?08:03
robin-herodpm:  No, just want to see the new improvments :)08:04

ZabuldonHello Guys, maybe you can help me? I want to port ubuntu touch to my HTC desire 816, but i don’t have AOSP device tree for it, only cyanogenmod 11 and 12. Question: Is it possible to build ubuntu touch over cyanogenmod?08:16
dpmdavidcalle, perhaps you know the answer to Zabuldon's question? ^08:18
davidcalleZabuldon, hi, yes, it's possible, but we don't have a step-by-step guide for it yet. There are documented ports for cm, a good place to start is http://forum.xda-developers.com/ubuntu-touch/android-ports. There is also http://forums.ubports.com, which is still young, but can provide support (they have recently done the OPPO port)08:27
davidcalleZabuldon, also, the #ubuntu-touch channel, which is a good place to ask porting questions08:28
popeydbarth: has url-dispatcher behaviour changed? Seems broken for me09:25
popeyi.e. click links in browser, it opens in browser, not an app (youtube) registered for *.youtube.com09:31
flexiondotorgpopey, http://askubuntu.com/questions/534720/protocol-handler-on-ubuntu-touch09:32
flexiondotorgpopey, Seems someone else has encountered difficulty.09:32
popeyhm09:32
dbarthpopey: uh09:37
popey(or have I misunderstood the functionality)?09:38
dbarthpopey: the browser will navigate to it in the general case; it's only when something calls qt to open the link externaly that the app will get the url09:39
dbarthso that happens when you click on a url from a scope for example09:39
popeyah09:39
dbarthin that case your app gets control, in lieu of the browser09:39
popeym09:40
popeyl,09:40
dbarthbut within the browser, i don't think you can coerce the navigation to go to your app09:40
popeyok, yes, I see now09:40
popeyand it works, I can click videos from scopes and youtube app launches. thanks dbarth09:40
popeyso it's "working as designed" :)09:40
dbarthpopey: right ;)09:41
dbarthand from a security pov, it's better this way i think09:41

mcphailAre there any clever Mir people around?09:58
mcphailI'm trying to force landscape orientation in an SDL2 game. I've found I can obtain a MirConnection* and a MirSurface*, and was wondering if either of those pointers are worth investigating to force a change in orientation10:00
mcphailI feel as if I'm chasing this down a rabbit-warren10:01

dpmhi DanChapman, quick question: one thing that I keep hitting on Dekko is the fact that I read some e-mails on my desktop's browser (with a gmail account), but when I open dekko on the phone afterwards, they still appear as unread. Is this a known issue, or is it an aspect of IMAP I'm not familiar with?10:13
ogra_probably an aspect of gmail ... :)10:14
dpmor that :)10:14
sn33zyhi, i plan on making a closed sourced game for ubuntu and itll be my first so im having problem interpretting this "You need to provide us with the a Debian source package (.dsc, diff.gz, orig.tar.gz files), bundled in an archive file (.tar.gz, .zip, etc)."10:14
sn33zyi know that should mean source code right?10:14
mcphailsn33zy: if you want to upload to a PPA, it has to be open source. It doesn't stop you creating a closed source deb yourself and distributing through other channels10:16
dpmsn33zy, I think nowadays you need to provide your own debian packaging, but I think the best thing is to put your app in a PPA10:16
DanChapmandpm it's a bug in gmail. It's been like it for a few weeks now. It seems to be a bit tempromental on when it sends flag changes10:17
mcphaildpm: can you have a closed-source PPA? I thought the build machines had to build all the debs?10:17
sn33zyso if i put it on a ppa, i just put the binary files in the deb file and set it to install to the appropiate location, correct?10:17
* popey tickles dholbach now he's back with https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/dev/click-apps/806/changerequest/10:18
dpmok, thanks DanChapman10:18
dpmmcphail, I guess you'd just put the readily built binary in the source package, and the PPA would just package that up, but I'm not an expert. Essentially what sn33zy is mentioning10:19
mcphaildpm: i thought the package gets rejected if you do that... but I haven't tried10:21
sn33zyand i notice most ppas have a branch for each distrubtion... i guess theres a quick an painless way to compile for lts even though im on 15.04 right?10:23
dpmsn33zy, looking at the packaging guide, pbuilder-dist seems to be the recommended way, but perhaps dholbach, ogra_ or someone more familiar with packaging can give you more insight10:25
mcphailsn33zy: yes - compiling for the different releases is quite trivial and the build machines will compile for all the different architectures. But I'm not so sure whether you can roll in any pre-compiled closed-source stuff10:25
popeysn33zy: it gets tricky if you have different lib dependencies in different releases10:25
popeybut you can actually use the "copy package" feature in launchpad to "copy" your 15.04 source back to 14.04 and have launchpad try and build it10:26
sn33zywell the only thing i would be using is sdl and opengl libraries10:26
sn33zyand then whatever handles keyboard input10:27
sn33zyi guess i just setup dual boot with lts10:27
sn33zymake things easier to build10:27
mcphailsn33zy: no - you don't need to set up different installs. Just follow the guide on launchpad when you set up your PPA and it'll take you through the process of making a building environment for any release10:29
sn33zyoh ok10:29
mcphailsn33zy: I am a numpty and I could follow it :)10:29
sn33zylol10:30
sn33zywell next step is writing this game... i have a few ideas but i wonder, how to determine what games the average user might buy on the store...10:30
sn33zyugh... gotta pick the best one first10:31
mcphailsn33zy: dare I say it: I suspect selling a game through the store is not going to make you rich10:32
mcphailsn33zy: If I was looking at a commercial SDL game, I'd be targeting steam and multi-platforms10:33
dpmsn33zy, have you thought about writing a mobile game instead?10:34
sn33zyugh...10:35
sn33zywhen i looked into multi-platform i understand how to get windows (have a liscence) but a mac build is the problem10:35
sn33zyand when i looked into alternatives, i had to purchase software10:35
sn33zybut it only ran on windows10:36
mivoligospeaking of selling stuff in Ubuntu Store, are there any plans to reduce the minimal price?10:36
popeymivoligo: possibly in the future when we have more handsets out there10:38
popeyit's a limitation of the payment provider10:38
popeyAIUI10:38
sn33zyi was going to use unity to build games cross platform but that would require windows all over again...10:40
mivoligopopey: thanks10:41
popeysn33zy: http://compilgames.net/10:41
popeysn33zy: also, sdl is _really_ cross platform.10:41
* mivoligo thinks popey wants more games for his 4 phones ;)10:43

dpmDanChapman, ah, thanks. It turns out the new translation is not correct. I'd suggest forwarding the translations suggestions to the mailing list, where generally translators fix them in a matter of hours. I know the poster on ubuntu-phone suggested it to be helpful, but I myself would have done a different translation12:09

dholbachsalut davidcalle, do you think you can leave a comment on the MPs that you looked at them ... or something - if you don't approve them? :)12:45
dpmballoons, re: the clock app test e-mails: I wasn't implying that the test failed on Jenkins, although I understand they fail on your desktop. In my case it was just the one test failing to access the net from the PPA builder. So would you suggest to mock the online service in this case, or just leave as it is, on the grounds that Jenkins can access the net and we shouldn't worry about PPA builders?12:45
popeydpm: that would be my suggestion12:47

sverzegnassiI'm having a play with the "QML App with Simple UI (qmlproject)" template in the Ubuntu SDK. I've seen that it uses a Makefile to build translations and running the tests, but the file is filtered out by the rules in the .excludes file, which is shared by all the templates of the qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu project. Is the Makefile supposed to be part of the source code of the app and, if so, is it worth15:38
sverzegnassito report this bug?15:38

popeyballoons: you know the sheet we track click versions in?16:29
Elleosverzegnassi: the Makefile is auto-generated by the qmake .pro file, so shouldn't be versioned or edited directly itself16:30
popeyall the data has broken, and I suspect it's due to the json resuts being formatted differently.16:30
sverzegnassiEllo: even with .qmlproject file? I've seen in the source of qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu that it's the only template that has that file16:31

zbenjaminsverzegnassi: we are going to drop the qmlprojects in the next release17:05
mcphailI think this chroot is going to drive me insane. Why oh why oh why can't the compiler see the declaration of the function? Aargh17:07
sverzegnassizbenjamin: oh, ok.. I chose the qml project since the game I'm rewriting is pure QML. Good to know that it will be dropped, I'm still in time to switch to qmake. Thank you for the infos!17:08
mcphailThe preprocessor can see the #included file. The function declaration is in the #included file. Still I get -Wimplicit-function-declarations and errors on undeclared enums. Any more of this and I'm starting developing for Windows :)17:12

nik90at the moment the workaround is to remove the header button and also removing the ability to press on the list item to select/deselect it23:00
ahayzenmaybe we need to call selected=true for the delegate?23:00
nik90thereby leaving the only way to select/deselect is to use the checkbox itself23:00

nik90hmm could be actually23:01
nik90I will also have a look at it tomorrow23:01
