robin-heroAny suggestion?07:39

wligtenbergHi, just curious, is anybody working on supporting android wear on Ubuntu Phone?09:40
popeywligtenberg: not that I'm aware of09:41
popeywear is very tied to android09:41
popeythat would be like asking if people are working on Apple iWatch & Ubuntu09:41
popey.. more likely is that someone might work on Pebble Time with Ubuntu :)09:41
* popey tickles cimi 09:41
wligtenberg@popey, for apps running on the wear device I agree. But I would guess that pairing them and sending notifications would be something we should be able to get to work.09:42
popeyGood luck :)09:42
cimi:)09:43
cimipopey, for the pebble the jolla app might be a goot start09:43
cimigood09:43
popeytrue09:43
cimipopey, https://openrepos.net/content/smoku/pebble09:43
wligtenberg@popey: Apparently someone hacked something together for ios already. :) http://bgr.com/2015/05/11/moto-360-android-wear-to-iphone-connection/09:45
popeywell, I look forward to seeing your contributions :)09:46
wligtenbergyeah, I saw the announcement for the new Meizu, and that is a phone that seems very nice. And I would like to switch. Just thinking if my moto 360 then turn into something useless or not. And how difficult it would be to get something basic going.09:48
cimiwligtenberg, I think it might be harder with android wear than pebble to be honest09:49
wligtenbergcimi, probably, but I do own a moto360, no pebble :)09:49
cimiwligtenberg, you can always sell it, I am a happy owner of a kickstarter pebble time :)09:50
wligtenbergcimi, that is an option, but not the most appealing to me. I don't like the looks of the pebble. :)09:51
wligtenbergI will try to do some digging into the protocol. And at least write that down somewhere.09:51
cimiwligtenberg, pebble time looks MUCH nicer than the old pebble, and to be honest looks nicer in reality than pics09:51
cimiwligtenberg, however, the frame around the screen scratches SO easily :/09:52
wligtenbergcall me old fashioned, but I like my watches round :)09:52
cimipopey, just ordered 3 gadget wraps for the frame...09:52
wligtenbergNo scratches on the moto360 yet (and I have it for a while now)09:52
wligtenbergcimi, you maybe could get something 3d printed :)09:53
cimiwligtenberg, yeah, build quality of the pebble time is not good09:54
popeycimi: blimey, you got the steel?09:56
cimipopey, the normal time09:56
popeywhats a gadget wrap?09:56
cimipopey, but the frame is steel anyway, just with a cheap PVD coating on top09:56
popeyah09:56
cimiyou scratch away the pvd coating when you find a harder material09:56

sturmflut2Is there an "official" way to get the device name when confined?10:48
sturmflut2popey, mzanetti, ogra_: ^^10:51
mzanettino clue10:52
popeydevice name?10:52
sturmflut2popey: "krillin", "arale" etc.10:53
sturmflut2popey: The field system-image-cli -i shows10:53
popeylook at the system-settings code, it knows in "About this phone"10:53
popeybut that is probably a deb and thus unconfined10:53
sturmflut2Yep, I was about to say that that one runs unconfined10:54
popeywhy do you need to know from an app?10:55
sturmflut2popey: Someone on the mailing list asked how to do device detection because he has to work around bugs in gstreamer on different devices. I am obviously going to reply that this has to be fixed and not worked around, but it was an interesting question10:57
popeyyeah10:58
popeyit's an unsustainable thing IMO10:58
popeyonce there are 100 devices out there ㋛ - how will they maintain it10:58
sturmflut2Especially because he wants to do it via SoC/CPU detection, there will be more than one device with the same SoC (krillin and vegetahd already share the same), and there might be different bugs on devices with the same SoC10:59
ogra_sturmflut2, the android properties might be accessible via an upstart/dbus service ...11:00

* ogra_ grins11:16
zygaogra_: -o yes-i-did-read-http://wiki.ubuntu.com/WritableRoot11:16
ogra_instead of making anything writable people should start to develop scripts that work around writable root completely ... there is no need at all to make your root writable11:17
zygaogra_: path of least resistance11:18
ogra_you can run containers and chroots in the writable space11:18

ogra_zyga, depends, does he have a smartphone with camera with him ?11:19

zygaogra_: "what does an engineer do when he sees a normal garbage bin?"11:19
zygajoke*11:19
ogra_joo-_, right, you need to put the key in place ... wget is preinstalled so if you have your pub key somewhere downloadable you could just wget it11:19
joo-_yeah i guess, i am just getting very tired of typing long commands on a touch screen hehe :-)11:20
zygajoo-_: this is all much easier with phablet-shell11:20
ogra_heh, yeah, well, use adb to push it over11:20
joo-_thanks guys i guess there is now hope again for me :-) But how am i supposed to install stuff by apt-get without mounting root?11:21
zygajoo-_: you're not supposed to in the outer root11:21
joo-_ok so like in a ch-rooted environment instead?11:22
ogra_joo-_, while you indeed can make the system rw and use apt on the rootfs, you will get into trouble long term ... the system wasnt designed for apt (beyond building it from debs) so updating packages will eventually fail ... also, if you make any changes and use OTA upgrades your changes will be reverted11:23
ogra_the OTA concept is based on having a diff between two readonly rootfs images ... for that the server needs to have an identical rootfs to your phone to base this on ...11:24
ogra_if you make changes to the base, thisngs get reverted (best case) or even break (worst case)11:24
ogra_using apt is fine for developers who regulary re-flash their device, it isnt a long term solution for users11:25

popeysturmflut2: i dont see one in any place I'd expect it12:14

Kaleodid I say something?12:17
Kaleo:)12:17
Kaleooh right12:17
sturmflut2popey: Strange. I just took the same picture with each quality setting, all three files have 2880x5120 pixels (which is wrong for arale), the file sizes are 930kB, 1.3 MB and 2.9 MB.12:20
sturmflut2popey: I already noticed it on r1 and it's still so on r212:21
popeyok, do file a bug in camera-app then, and attach the different pics pls12:21
popeylet me know the bug number and i'll reproduce here12:21
Kaleosturmflut2, quality setting corresponds to levels of JPEG compression12:22
Kaleosturmflut2, not resolution12:22
sturmflut2Kaleo: Yeah, but the resolution is still wrong, the MX4 has a 20 MP camera and not a 14.7 MP one12:23
sturmflut2I have no idea where "14.7 MP" even comes from12:23
sturmflut2Errr, am I stupid or is it wrong on krillin as well12:25
sturmflut2krillin has an 8 MP camera, the files are 2448x4352 = 10.6 MP12:25
Kaleosturmflut2, MX4 has a 5248×3936 back camera indeed12:26
Kaleosturmflut2, and BQ E4.5 has a 3264×2448 back camera12:29
=== MacSlow|lunch is now known as MacSlow
mcphailsturmflut2: the final resolution of the picture isn't always the same as the resolution of the sensor, though (I think). There's a lot of jiggery-pokery goes on in firmware with interpolation and oise reduction before jpeg processing12:32
Kaleosturmflut2, the reason is very likely that qtubuntu-camera uses a prioritized list of aspect ratios to decide on which resolution to pick12:34
Kaleosturmflut2, the list has first the aspect ratio of the display12:35
Kaleosturmflut2, followed by 16.0f/9.0f, 3.0f/2.0f, 4.0f/3.0f, 5.0f/4.0f12:35
popeythanks for the info Kaleo12:36
Kaleopopey, I'm not sure why it was done like that, so it could very well be a bug12:37
ckingsturmflut2, i've fixed that CPU hogger issue, just trying some other fixes now12:37
sturmflut2mcphail: Sure, I could understand that images are scaled down on arale, but there is no point in scaling them *up* on krillin12:48
svijsturmflut2: that might be the interpolation-"feature"12:49
mcphailsturmflut2: the early android phones had camera modules which scaled up with dodgy interpolation algorithms12:49
sturmflut2Hmpf12:49
sturmflut2I'll open a bug, in the worst case it gets assigned "Wishlist"12:50
mcphailsturmflut2: we tried to hack one to get RAW sensor output. It was a complete black box. No idea if krillin's camera is the same12:50

sturmflut2Yay, questions!15:23
john-mcaleelymy bet is some legacy android blob we've not tracked down15:23
sturmflut2john-mcaleely: my guts tell it's the GPU, it also generates a lot of timer events when the phone sleeps, but I can't prove it15:24
john-mcaleelyoh, maybe. and that neatly explains the mx4 vs bqaq4.5 diff15:25
john-mcaleelygpu's also use lots of memory without trying15:25
sturmflut2Suddenly it all comes together!15:25
sturmflut2If it's the GPU, that would somehow explain why the disparity becomes larger and larger the more UI apps are started15:27
sturmflut2cking: There is no way to account the memory allocations of drivers and kernel threads, is there15:29
ckingsturmflut2, i'm not sure about that one, never give that a thought before now15:30
ckingsturmflut2, perhaps cat /proc/modules ?15:31
ckingargh, not ignore that15:31
sturmflut2cking: I don't think it is, drivers and kernel threads don't have their own address space. Solaris had a Kernel Memory Allocator Debug Module, it could tell you a list of all allocations made within the kernel15:32
sturmflut2But wait, maybe with ftrace and kprobes...15:32
sturmflut2The idea might be insane enough to try it15:34
ckingsturmflut2, i think it's non-trivial for sure, there aren't any easily user space readable /proc interfaces to get this kind of info15:34

awelooks like ricmm's original bug.  I'd want an ack rsalveti, Chicken or ricmm to adding a new mode.  I think that's a clean way to fix it.  That said, we could easily add logic in the indicator, so I guess I'd lean that way20:09
kenvandinebut... that is clearly not the easiest20:09
awewell...I wouldn't say it's not easy, it's just one more patch we need to worry when working with upstream20:10
kenvandinethat's what i mean, having a delta from upstream costs20:10
awethat said, if you want to write the patch, I'll review it20:10
awe;)-20:10
* kenvandine doesn't plan to touch network-manager20:10
aweyes, that'd be a good career move20:10
tathhu:D20:11
aweso I guess I'll leave it to you for now.  I for one, would entertain a powerd patch, but we'd also have to patch the cli, and then we end up with yet another script in lxc-android-config20:12
awethat's not really documented, and changes the system networking behavior20:12
=== dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk
mukaI get : Cannot push .... to device: free space /cache/recovery is 542M. How can I free it?20:41
=== dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader
mukaOK. What happens if I delete all files from /cache/recovery/?20:52
=== BOHverkill_ is now known as BOHverkill
dobeymuka: can you boot the device and connect to it with phablet-shell?20:58
dobeyin ubuntu that is, not recovery20:58
mukayes21:00
dobeymuka: instead of trying to flash again with u-d-f, you might want to switch to the more stable 15.04 channel21:02
dobeymuka: there is no intention to release a supported version of wily on phones. the devel-proposed images exist to test things, but you probably shouldn't be using it if you want an actual somewhat stable phone that you use daily21:03
mukadobey: not sure what you mean by u-d-f, but I'm trying this: ubuntu-device-flash  --channel=ubuntu-touch/devel/ubuntu. all works fine until I get  Cannot push .... to device: free space /cache/recovery is 542M21:04
dobeymuka: u-d-f == ubuntu-device-flash21:04
mukaoh21:05
dobeymuka: but it sounds like you are on devel-proposed from your earlier complaint about image 235 breaking21:05
mukayes21:05
mukai'm trying to change that without wipe21:05
dobeymuka: so my suggestion is to do "sudo system-image-cli --switch" on the phone, to switch to the more stable channel21:05
dobeythe phone will need an active wifi connection to download the image though21:06
mukawifi works, but "sudo system-image-cli --switch" no chennel?21:07
mukachannel21:07
dobeyyes you need to specify the channel too21:07
dobeyi just don't recall what the stable channel is for mako at the moment21:08
dobeyrc-proposed maybe21:08
dobeyif you don't want stable stable21:08
dobeybut slightly less stable stable21:08
mukaok thank you21:09
dobeyubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/ubuntu-developer maybe21:10
extraymondHi! Anyone know how to get gps working on nexus4? More specifically, do anyone know what channels support here maps's agps service?21:17
=== _salem is now known as salem_
Richanyone know how to view the data usage?22:07
dobeyas in cellular data usage?22:08
RichYes that is the one. Like in android, get a warning on the monthly cap?22:09
RichI jus got the HD phone and a little worried, being new and all that, it will burn throw my awful 700meg a month limit.22:09
dobeyno, i don't think there is any way to view that locally on the device at the moment. if your provider has a web site where you can view it, you could perhaps create a web app for it though22:09
tathhuÄh, thank god I live in Finland :l22:10
RichI thought this might be the case, bit of a shame. I guess took Android quite a few revisions to get that kind of functionality.22:10
RichYer, UK sucks on phone deals.22:11
dobeywell, some providers have special exceptions and such, which make local data tracking kind of moot anyway22:11
tathhuI gotta get proper case for my Nexus 7 so I could run ubuntu on it.. :D22:12
dobeylike, t-mobile us has unlimited music streaming from various services, so even though i've streamed 2.5 GB of music, i've only used about 200 MB of data22:12
tathhuCheapeiest one on ebay just suck, can't swipe :D22:12
RichI don't really know that much of how all this works. was hoping that in the network settings for the sim would show data usage. No idea if that is a statisic sent from the providor or the phone tracks it.22:12
dobeyi'm not sure. i know android definitly isn't getting it from the provider though22:13
RichI'm stuck on EE as they the only people who get a signal where I live.22:13
RichAh that is intresting, so sounds like the phone could be out of sync.22:14
Richthe android on that is22:14
dobeyi think android probably just tracks bytes transferred on the physical network interface22:15
dobeywe could possibly do that in ubuntu too, but would take a fair bit of work i think22:15
RichWould be a good bet. I would imagine it would have to be at the OS level as you can have apps having access to the data stream. (guessing a bit here)22:16
Richcan't22:16
Richnot can22:16
RichOnly got my phone yesterday, not dug into it yet. Not to be void of the samsung bloat on my Note 3.22:17
dobeyright, it would be a change in the system level, you can't provide an app in the store to add the feature22:18
RichNice not, Not. silly typos.22:18
DonkeyHoteii just switched to the note 322:18
dobeyall an app could do would be get info from the provider over the internet, or just be a webapp that opens the provider account page22:19
RichGood phone, don't get me wrong. But loads of apps getting updated all the time I can't uninstall.22:19
RichThat is not a bad idea dobey. But may end up being a bit specific. Unless they all have a standard REST interface.22:20
dobeyno, that would be too hopeful :)22:20
dobeyyou could report a bug about data usage tracking not being available, at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-network perhaps22:21
RichI do a load of steam stuff at work, they web interface rocks. Json and REST. All you need. Ah thanjs for the link, was googling for that got a bit lost. Coming back to ubuntu after a years back packing in Windows 8 land. ;)22:21
RichThanks for the help. Bug submitted. Hopefully I've done it correctly.22:28

dobeyRich: great, thanks22:35
dobeyand now i must leave :)22:35
mukaRich, not perfect but you can try installing nload.22:50
RichIs that on the store?22:51
mukano, your phone must be read-write mode and than sudo apt-get install nload.22:53
mukain terminal22:53
RichI see, ok. Only got it yesterday. Need to reconnect my Ubuntu HD to my PC first. Had to run Windows for a bit for some Uni work. Will look at that when I'm back up to speed. Ta. :)22:54
