matv1is there still no one who experienced that when starting music player, audiolevel  initially goes to max (on BQ)?09:27

Tm_Togra_: I rather would have constant connection (:12:01
Tm_TI even did in early 2000 with those "dumb" phones with midp software, I could read browser and have ssh to irssi at the same time12:01
Tm_Tnot to mention good old HP iPaq I have (:12:02
ogra_Tm_T, well, for constant IRC we just need the telepathy plugin installed by default12:02
ogra_then you can just have a UI app attaching to it12:03
* ogra_ bets there is a bug open for telepathy irc integration12:03
Tm_Togra_: that too12:03
Tm_Togra_: ... 140 channels doable with that?12:04
ogra_no idea, i never used it12:04
Tm_Tnot that I use irc much (;12:04
ogra_i just know it will allow using IRc via telepathy ... which provides a permanently running backend process12:04

praxyHi, I want to install ubuntu (or any other gnu/linux) alongside the android lxc container in my vegetahd (bq e5hd) device. With lxc-create etc. Any docs / pointers / people who've done this before?12:21
ogra_(at least if the code didnt change since i looked last ... which is a while ago admittedly)12:21
ogra_praxy, no, i dont think aynone has done that before ... if you do it, keep notes and blog about it ;)12:22
ogra_you will have to use some writable space for the rootfs though ... like /home/phablet/ or space on the SD12:22
Tm_Togra_: usability is one12:22
Tm_Togra_: talking about why large number of channels might not work with every client12:23
praxyogra_: ok... will do. Well the install is easy. Just pull template file from lxc package and lxc-create it. Works so far, but ran into cgroup related errors when trying to start it.12:23
praxyyou using -P /home/ubuntu12:23
praxyyea* using -P /home/ubuntu12:23
ogra_Tm_T, well, but thats a matter of the UI and its design .. i cant imagine teechnical limits foor the telepathy backend12:23
Tm_Togra_: yeah, it's just that irssi works too well with tmux for me to want to make any changes (:12:24
Tm_Tnot to mention my work being mostly poking stuff over ssh anyway12:24
ogra_praxy, what release is it using for the target ? might be systemd that causes this ... if you try something pre-vivid it will use upstart12:24
ogra_Tm_T, well, there is the openappstore ... that has a tool to exclude the terminal from lifecycle i think12:25
ogra_(just not the same as having the app do it by default=12:26
ogra_)12:26
praxyogra_: it's the same with the debian/gentoo template though. I'll have to come back with exact errors since I don't have the device on hands right now. Template uses precise.12:30

nocturnHi guys, I'm awaiting my Meizu phone and wanted to check some things already in anticipation :-)12:31
nocturnCan I use Jabber on Ubuntu touch?12:31
nocturnAnd does it support Activesync?12:32
ogra_Tm_T, https://open.uappexplorer.com/ in case you dont know about it ... https://open.uappexplorer.com/apps ... tweakgeek should allow to exclude the terminal from the lifecycle12:33
ogra_nocturn, no to both (yet)12:33
jdstranddholbach: cool, thanks!12:34
nocturnogra_, that is a shame.  Activesync I suspected that a bit, though lack of Jabber support surprises me12:36
ogra_nocturn, it is just that nobody had time to work on it yet ... and nobody from the community picked it up either ... for jabber a telepathy-xmpp plugin would have to be included ... then people could write UIs for it12:37
ogra_not sure if there are any plans for activesync though12:37
* ogra_ didnt know that still exists ... i thought that died with the rising of android12:37
ogra_i havent seen activesync being used by anyone since my last iPaq :)12:38
nocturnogra_, activesync?  That is the default protocol to sync with Exchange from any phone.  I don't care about exchange but Zarafa has z-push which works really well12:38
ogra_ah ... thats what 15 years of linux does to you :) i didnt know :)12:39
nocturnMost phones don't call it that BTW, it will be labeled business mail account or Exchange account12:39
nocturnI use in on a Linux server with Zarafa12:39
ogra_(the last MS OS i touched for actually doing work with it was XP when it was brabdnew)12:40
nocturnogra_, same here, my last was Windows 9812:41
ogra_i wonder if dekko could do it without having actual extra stuff implemented on OS level12:41
nocturnbut Zarafa is completely Linux based and GPL'd, it has native support for MAPI and ActiveSync12:41

pmcgowankenvandine, should I have not marked that fixed?16:31
kenvandinewell, i worked around it in settings16:31
kenvandinebut i think it should be fixed in usc16:31
pmcgowanok16:32
kenvandinewhich had been marked as invalid16:32
kenvandinei really just think the dim-timeout setting should go away, and let usc manage when to dim16:32
kenvandinesince apparently it should always be relative16:32
kenvandineand eventually we should have an API for apps to request the screen stay awake16:32
pmcgowankenvandine, there is a separate bug for that to hook up the standard qml api16:33
kenvandineyeah, for the API16:33
kenvandinebut the dim-timeout should just go away16:33
kenvandineand let usc decide when to dim16:33
pmcgowanyep16:33
kenvandinewhich should default to 10 seconds before locking, per design16:33
pmcgowanoh I see did you add a new setting for it?16:34
ogra_well, for the "never" setting the dim should at least be infinite16:34
kenvandineno... i didn't add it16:34
kenvandinewe already had the setting16:34
ogra_this is really dangerous16:34
kenvandineit was just never getting changed16:34
pmcgowanok16:34
kenvandinesince it was meant to always be lock timeout - 1016:34
ogra_it is the typical setting to use when in your car16:34
kenvandineso i added a hack to change dim-timeout whenever lock timeout was changed16:34
ogra_where you dont want distraction by dimming every 50sec16:35
kenvandineogra_, the app should be requesting that though, shouldn't be a setting16:35
ogra_well, the app cant currently16:35
kenvandineright16:35
kenvandine:)16:35
ogra_so if you use GPS anvigation you usually set it to never16:35
ogra_and then tap every 50sec16:35
ogra_until you crash in that tree16:35
pmcgowanlol16:36
kenvandinehaha16:36
pmcgowanogra_, well you have a really old car anyway16:36
ogra_thats true ... :)16:36
kenvandinewe really need the api for the app to request it16:36
ogra_it is fast enough to hit the tree hard enough that i never have to care for anything afterwards though :)16:36
kenvandinei hate the idea of changing that setting just so i can run an app :)16:36
pmcgowankenvandine, don't we have what we need, just need to hook it together?16:36
kenvandinefor the API?16:37
kenvandineusc can handle it, just needs to be exposed somewhere16:37
kenvandinefor dim-timeout, it should just handle dimming the screen relative to the activity-timeout rather than from a setting in gsettings16:37
pmcgowanI meant the keep the screen on thing16:38
kenvandineyeah, we have the infrastructure for it16:38
kenvandinebut afaik nothing exposed to the apps16:38
pmcgowankenvandine, there is a standard qt api16:39
kenvandinebut does usc honor it?16:39
pmcgowannot yet, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1462489/comments/2016:39
ubot5Launchpad bug 1462489 in Canonical System Image "Allow apps to keep the screen on" [High,Confirmed]16:39
kenvandinewe need to expose it either as a property in the toolkit, or maybe even something in the .desktop file16:40
kenvandinelike full screen16:40
pmcgowanmaybe comment on that bug then16:40
kenvandinei guess maybe only programatically, like you don't want the screen to stay on while just viewing maps, etc... but if you are actively using it for navigation it should16:44
seb128kenvandine, pmcgowan, do we really need a permission for that? what's the issue with having the foreground application being able to hold the screen?16:44
kenvandineso maybe that solution is good16:44
ogra_seb128, battery life16:44
ogra_seb128, at least thats what tvoss always told me when i asked in the past16:44
kenvandinemaybe use trust-store for that part16:45
seb128ogra_, well, if the foreground app keep the screen it's quite visible16:45
ogra_"we dont want to allow apps to drain your battery"16:45
kenvandinebut regardless, it's only when that app is visible16:45
seb128it's not like it wouldn't be obvious to notice16:45
kenvandineyeah16:45
seb128it's not like a bg app was eating cpu16:45
ogra_i think android has an ability to tie it to the charging state16:45
ogra_so if you unplug the cable it falls back to default16:46
ogra_that would surely help in the in-car case already16:46
seb128so you crash your car because you can't use your gps ? ;-)16:46
ogra_yeah16:46
seb128well, I agree with not letting apps doing non obvious things that impact on what you perceive of the system16:47
kenvandinethe app should just be able to keep the screen awake when it's needed16:47
seb128like use cpu in bg16:47
kenvandineit's not in the bg16:47
seb128but if something in bg keep the screen on it's obvious to see16:47
seb128in fg*16:47
ogra_sure ... but also easy to forget16:47
seb128if you use an app that does that and forget it's your fault16:48
ogra_you put your phone on the table when coming home after you used GPS and forget about it ...16:48
seb128well, permissions don't fix that usecase16:48
kenvandineogra_, no... it's not just "using GPS"16:48
seb128you would ack the gps app to keep the screen on16:48
ogra_30min later the battery is empty and you miss that call where the lottery society wanted to give you 5mio16:48
kenvandineit's when you are navigating16:48
kenvandineso when you get home, it should have arrived and exit navigation16:48
ogra_but you probably forget16:49
=== alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOW
kenvandinethe app should exit navigation mode16:49
kenvandinethat's what google maps does16:49
seb128well, you say the GPS app shouldn't be allowed to keep the screen on ever?16:49
ogra_so you just pull the phone out of the holder ... and throw it on the table next to your keys16:49
ogra_seb128, no, i say we should have that feature tied to "charing"16:49
seb128my car has no usb plug16:49
seb128I use the gps on battery16:50
ogra_i personally never use GPS in the car without cable attached16:50
kenvandinei rarely keep mine plugged in while in my car16:50
ogra_wow16:50
seb128ogra_, you have an old car but it has an usb charger? ;-)16:50
ogra_its not that old and it has a cigarrette lighter :)16:50
seb128well mine doesn't16:50
kenvandinewith google maps, it's pretty easy to tell it's still in navigation mode16:50
ogra_(it is only 21)16:50
seb128and most of the time I use the gps on less than 1 hour drive16:50
kenvandineand lets you exit nav16:50
ogra_(just drinking age)16:50
davmor2seb128: no it has a cigarette lighter that you can plug into a phone :)16:50
john-mcaleelya phone with another OS is sitting here fully lit up, given that I've started navigation16:50
john-mcaleely(no cables soiled in this experiment)16:51
john-mcaleelycome back in a few hours to see how it ends16:51
seb128hehe16:51
seb128I think we just need to convince tvoss that having a gps app in foreground keep the screen on is ok16:51
seb128:-)16:51
kenvandinethe other use case is reading an ebook16:51
john-mcaleelywill I be in tears, with a flat battery? will the OS defend itself?16:51
ogra_well16:51
john-mcaleelywhat a cliffhanger16:52
ogra_for reading an ebook you dont need to keep it on forever16:52
kenvandineyou should16:52
kenvandinewhile in reading mode16:52
ogra_no16:52
ogra_you should have a very long lock time instead16:52
kenvandinemaybe if you don't turn the page in a long time16:52
kenvandineit should timeout16:52
ogra_so you can forget the book and it still doesnt drain16:52
ogra_how long do you need for reading a page ?16:52
ogra_30min ?16:52
kenvandinei don't think my kid's kindle fire does that though16:53
kenvandineif you're reading it'll stay lit forever16:53
kenvandinei might have to do an experiment with that :)16:53
john-mcaleelymy eink kindle gives up and turns off16:53
ogra_i think allowing an app to bump it to 10min would be enough for the reading case16:53
kenvandineyeah16:53
kenvandinebut only when focused16:53
ogra_while GPS needs "never"16:53
seb128yes, so let's just have an api that let you specify the delay16:54
john-mcaleelyall journeys end ogra16:54
kenvandineindeed16:54
john-mcaleelythe app can come up and tickle something every now and again16:54
ogra_john-mcaleely, we dont have an api for that though :)16:55
ogra_Qt.Tickle()16:55
john-mcaleelywe lack many apis. lots to do for v216:55
ogra_(with the Mu_Ha_Ha_HA() callback)16:56
davmor2john-mcaleely: this phone journey had better not end or we are gonna lynch you ;)16:56
john-mcaleelymy 'other os' phone is still fully lit up16:58
john-mcaleelyno noticable battery depletion yet16:58
ogra_seb128, btw going to watch the girls play later ?16:59
seb128ogra_, I might, let's see if we do better in that remix ;-)17:00
ogra_you are doing really good ... i watched the last game17:00
ogra_that will be quite a challenge for us :)17:00
pmcgowanwhat do we think germany usa final?17:01

ogra_i would love to see that17:01
ogra_but i'm a slight bit doubtful germany will survive today ...17:01

anpoksil2100: for glmark and xorg-xserver, is it enough to upload a source package/17:03

SturmFlutHm, I had arale (with r2) idling in my backpack for ten hours today, with all radios off, and the battery level went down just four percent points. Does anybody have the numbers for r2 with radios on?17:39
SturmFlutI didn't really check r2 under "real" conditions because I was mostly connected to it via phablet-shell17:40
=== dpm-afk is now known as dpm
svijSturmFlut: mine got down from 60% last night until 18% right now, I also didn't use it much. (Wifi and cellular were on)17:43
SturmFlutsvij: Thanks! My four percent points do not sound much, but if you extrapolate it, that's about nine days of standby with all radios off. The E4.5 can do seven days of standby with both radios on, and the battery of the MX4 has a 50% higher capacity17:45
svijyep17:46
SturmFlutSo the actual difference between both devices is quite extreme17:46
svijthe standby time before OTA-3(?) on the bq E4.5 was really bad.17:47
svijso yeah… could be worse ;)17:47
SturmFlutsvij: I've compared the number of kernel events on krillin and arale, on average it's about the same number. So either those events are more "costly" on arale, or some hardware component doesn't really go into deep sleep, or some hardware component consumes more power to begin with.17:52
SturmFlutAt least the GPU driver claims that the GPU is sleeping17:55

SturmFlutTm_T: I think people like Selene have to look at it with their magic hardware measuring devices18:01

svijheh, someone hacked the Meizu Invitation thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/3b2kqk/ubuntu_meizu_mx4_for_europe_invitations_game_hack/18:08
SturmFlutogra_: I went through all logcat buffers on my arale, actually there are hardly any problems. RIL is sometimes unhappy with the value of the 3G network LAC field, the audio subsystem is a bit unhappy during initialisation, libEGL seems to be called without a valid context quite a bit, the sensors are unhappy with the Acceleration sensor bias18:09
SturmFlutsvij: AHAHAHAHA18:09
SturmFlutsvij: Well, if you are able to pull something like this off, you probably deserve as many phones as you want18:10
svijSturmFlut: if you have enough money, yes. :)18:10
SturmFlutsvij: That is step 2 of the hack ;)18:10

fraha_Hi all, I have a question, hope this is the right place to ask. I want to develop an app which processes the incoming and outgoing audio stream during a call. Is there a way to do that with Ubuntu touch? Or is it hopeless to try, like i Android?18:10
SturmFlutfraha_: Hmmm, that might also depend on the hardware wiring. I have no idea if microphone and speaker are directly connected to the baseband during a call.18:13
SturmFlutjhodapp, ogra_: Ping18:13
fraha_so there is no direct audio processing by the os?18:14
SturmFlutfraha_: I am looking at the MT6582 datasheet, a moment18:14
jhodappSturmFlut, speaker and the baseband are at least effectively connected during the call...exact hardware config I'm not sure...currently pulseaudio is not connected to this audio route at all18:15
jhodappSturmFlut, rsalveti would know more detail18:15
SturmFlutjhodapp: I thought so, the baseband also does all the noise cancellation etc. in hardware18:15
jhodappcorrect18:16
SturmFlutfraha_: It might be possible, but probably not with a lot of help from the drivers and the OS18:17
SturmFluts/with/without/18:17
fraha_ah s**t, this means no way arround, other than e.g. writing an VoIP app...18:17
jhodappfraha_, I believe we'll get that ability sometime in the future, although there will be apparmor restrictions around it and the like18:18
SturmFlutfraha_: At least the block diagram in the MT6582 datasheet doesn't give a clear answer. Audio codec and baseband run a big block of proprietary firmware and on this SoC they are on the same chip, so the OS is not forced to care about calls, it can just tell those two to talk directly to each other18:22
fraha_thanks for the answers, now i really have to think about another effient way to manipulate audio during a call with mobile phone, give me headache :)18:22
fraha_SturmFlut: this means that the core functionality of ubuntu touch depens on closed source drivers and firmware?18:23
SturmFlutfraha_: Yep, like any other phone. There is no chip on the market that supports up to date mobile technologies and has an open firmware at the same time18:24
SturmFlutNot even the Neo900 solves this problem18:24
SturmFlut:(18:25
fraha_... and i will never understand why..18:26
SturmFlutfraha_: Well, there are a lot of problems that contribute to this situation.18:27
fraha_Like money? I guess this is the biggest problem, if it is security they are doing something wrong...18:29
SturmFlutfraha_: The most important one being that we can't have people running around with modified baseband firmware, a single error can take down multiple networks in a whole area. Baseband vendors go through a lot of testing to make sure that their hardware and software doesn't randomly kill networks, Joe Random does not.18:29
SturmFlutI trust hackers, but there are a lot of lunatics out there who don't know what they're doing and will just apply random changes from the internet because they think their 4G gets faster or something18:30
SturmFlutJust look at what some people do to their WiFi chipsets and drivers18:30
fraha_I can see your point... never underestimate stupidity :)18:33
SturmFlutfraha_: The other is money, yes. If you want to build an LTE Cat 4 radio from scratch, just reading through all the standard documents will keep a team of people busy for a year. Then it's another couple of years until full validation is completed and rollout can be attempted.18:41
