pittiogra_: I don't want unity8-autopilot with all its autopilot deps; but just shipping its tests sounds a lot less harmful10:00
pittiogra_: anyway, it's just one possible solution when we need to test old images; obviously the "archive snapshot of test deps" would be nicer (but lot more work)10:00
Isotop7is there any irc client hägoing to be release? there is really a lack of it i think...11:52

Dragonkeeperanyone running dev branch for bq phone ?18:26
Dragonkeeperi am getting cell network error :(18:28
anpok_Dragonkeeper: which dev channel?18:35
=== LarrySteeze|Away is now known as LarrySteeze
Dragonkeeperanpok_: i think im on  krillin/devel   r139   the problem has been for a few revisions .. the issue  just shows no network in the phone app . but both sims show they have signal in the notification bar ,   also in dmesg i can see PropSet Error:[ro.ril.ecclist:112,911] ro.* properties may NEVER be modified once set   and [lk_env] cann't find persist.ril.cfu.querytype18:40
anpok_Dragonkeeper: you might have run into #1467640?18:48
tathhuWill I brick my nexus 7 if i install scopes from bq?18:49
tathhu;D18:49
Dragonkeeperanpok_: i dont think so. the network connects , then the phone part doesnt work .. signal bars still show and network page still shows the network status ..18:50
Dragonkeepersome times the phone app will let me call and recieve calls then its just fails . some times it takes multiple restarts to get it back.. but once onces it fails it wont come back on its own18:51
anpok_.. ok this might be a different bug18:51
tathhuOh atleast today-scope is on store :o18:51
tathhuNvm18:51
tathhu:D18:51
=== LarrySteeze is now known as LarrySteeze|Away
tathhuBut it is *same* as on bq..18:53
anpok_Dragonkeeper: imo we shouldnt let that happen, (ubuntu-touch/devel being in such a state, but right now you are better off with using ubuntu-touch/{stable,rc,rc-proposed}/bq-aquaris.en18:54
Dragonkeeperanpok_: well if there is anything i can pull to help you out i will18:54
anpok_Dragonkeeper: look if there is another bug report in bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image18:55
anpok_I believe I have seen that error description somwhere18:56
tathhuSeems to be.18:56
anpok_tathhu: it should be the same yes..18:57
Dragonkeeperchecking18:57
blibanyone hanging in here?19:00
blibI am looking to load ubuntu on my htc one m8 device and connect it using usb to a ubuntu box. Has anyone done this ?19:00
anpok_take a look at the links in the topic..19:02
anpok_but I believe htc one m8 is to new for people to break it..19:04
blibanpok_: what's a good phone to use ubuntu one on?19:05
tathhuBq/Meizu/Nexus19:06
tathhu:D19:06
blibtathhu: does apt-get work on these? Nexus 5 for example?19:06
blibcan I install python on it?19:06
anpok_there should be python already installed19:07
blibsays "Power management issues (the battery performance isn't great)"19:07
anpok_this is at the moment only true for the mx419:08
anpok_but people are working on that right now19:08
blibanpok_: so nexus 5 works - no power issues/sensor issues?19:08
anpok_a nexus519:08
anpok_didnt read that..19:08
blibanpok_: is there a 2015 phone on which ubuntu works well?19:09
Dragonkeeperanpok_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/144296219:09
ubot5Launchpad bug 1442962 in telepathy-ofono (Ubuntu Vivid) "Dialer app reports "No network" even though cellular is connected" [Critical,In progress]19:09
anpok_not sure about that port, I only know bt does not work right now..19:09
blibanpok_: I don't need bt. But power issues are serious19:10
anpok_blib: if you consider e4.5 or e5 2015 phones.. then those.. and I am sure mx4 will be good soon19:10

anpok_Dragonkeeper: the bug states only vivid+overlay (which would be ubunt-touch/rc-proposed/*)19:13
Dragonkeeperanpok_: i know but that seems to be the bug im getting in the devel branch. or if its not the same , the result of it is19:14
blibtathhu: so no good phones of 2015 do ubuntu yet? - > iphone/samsung s6/LG G4/...?19:15
Dragonkeeperif it has ubuntu then its upgraded to a great phone automaticly19:16
tathhuDragonkeeper: :P19:16
blibDragonkeeper: how do you access the sensors from python ?19:16
blibcamera/accelerometer/...?19:16
blibalso, what interface does the usb wire support? How do I ship out data from a ubuntu phone to a ubuntu box? (camera output/other data)19:17
* Dragonkeeper shrugs19:17
hevyhomiehi there, I am porting touch to Moto E, and I keep getting this on build: http://pastebin.com/BAbhizUy19:18
anpok_hevyhomie: is this really the first compilation error?19:18
Dragonkeeperim not of mass knowledge atm. lol  blib19:18
Dragonkeeperworking long hours takes its toll19:19
blibmaybe someone else knows19:19
blibhow do you access the sensors from python ?19:19
tathhublib: plug it in and it worksTM19:20
anpok_blib: depends on the sensor.. some are generic evdev .. some are more specific19:20
tathhuafaik19:20
tathhuiirc :P too lazy to test19:20
anpok_just like on your pc..19:20
blibanpok_: accelerometers/magnetometers/gps - is there a sample somewhere?19:24
blibtathhu: works - and apis are different things - am asking about the python api.19:24
anpok_for general positioning better take lp:location-service .. it has a dbus api19:25
blibanpok_: is there a python interface for these things?19:25
tathhublib: ahh. :D19:25
anpok_blib: dbus?19:25
blibanpok_: also, how do I ship data from the phone to the host computer running ubuntu19:25
blibanpok_: is there a wrapper around dbus that one can use from python? Or do I have to compile/install dbus on python + write my communication code.19:26
blibanpok_: does apt-get run similar to ubuntu boxes on the phone?19:27
blibanpok_: is gpsd running on the phone already?19:28
anpok_blib: the most important thing to consider when writing for ubuntu-touch (and ubuntu in the future) is application confinement and application lifecycle.19:30
anpok_take a look at that: https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/platform/19:31
anpok_-> App confinement..19:31
tathhu"The application life-cycle policies enforced on Ubuntu Touch* also mean that the app is unable to run in the background. If you switch to another app during streaming the app will stop playing music." :-(19:32
anpok_wrt to apt-get - we currently only use that for development. to add stuff on top of the image. For that you have to make the file system writeable.. and with that the gates are open for breaking the image based update or the installed image..19:33
anpok_if you want to stay out of trouble you better ship the stuff you need as click packages.. (which is like a more self contained deb with extra stuff)19:35
anpok_tathhu: for that purpose there is media-hub which handles audio and video playback in a centralized manner19:35
hevyhomieanpok_: yes it is first compile error19:35
anpok_hevyhomie: hm sorry not enough context to figure out what could be missing.. xda-developers.com might be a better source for help19:36
Dragonkeeperanpok_: ok i am going to flash19:39
Dragonkeeper(branch change)   what do you recommend19:39
hevyhomieanpok_: all good. Unfortunately XDA-developers.com has no Moto E thread :(19:40
hevyhomieanpok_: for touch19:40
hevyhomieanpok_: thanks anyways19:40
anpok_wait..19:41
anpok_that error did not look very ubuntu touch specific19:41
Dragonkeepermine ?19:42
anpok_no hevyhomie19:42
anpok_Dragonkeeper: to be safe use ubuntu-touch/stable/bq-aquaris.en ... or s/stable/rc19:44
Dragonkeeperanpok_: are they currently on 14.04 / 14.10  still ?  i wasnt able to use gba emulation with stable when i previously used it19:46
anpok_yes still on 14.10 with the stable-phone ppa applied on top19:47
anpok_what was the problem with the gba emulation?19:47
Dragonkeeperwouldnt process the image to the screen. leaving me with black white image..  currently its working on 15.1019:48
Dragonkeeperblank*19:48
anpok_hm that was a problem with libsdl?19:49
Dragonkeepermaybe.. i didnt really look into it tbh19:49
Dragonkeeperapparently it was working on nexus devices so it was a bq specific thing at the time19:50
Dragonkeeperalso what is the extra pay load ubuntu-touch/stable/ubuntu-developer  has ?19:51
anpok_no idea..19:54
Dragonkeeperhmm ill try out ubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/bq-aquaris.en19:57
anpok_https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/146014919:58
ubot5Launchpad bug 1460149 in Mir "Visible corruption in SDL apps (Neverball, Neverputt) on Nexus 4 / Nexus 7." [High,In progress]19:58
Dragonkeeperunsure if i had a problem with them on 14  all working on 15 tho19:59
blibcan one run a ubuntu server box on these phones? Can the sensors be accessed from python then?20:02
anpok_blib: you can modify the software in any way you want.. (only limited by user space driver blobs or binary firmwares)20:04
Dragonkeeperok looks like im going from r137 to r65   .. the problem (as a guess) was around r134  so fingers crossed i should be fine20:06
Dragonkeeperthen i should really pay my phone bill so they resume service lol20:08
Dragonkeeperif ubuntu has a way for my laptop to use its network that would be great20:11
Dragonkeeperits a chromebook20:11
Dragonkeepermy company does everything via paperwork  so there is litterally no computers anywhere... some days i feel like im dying20:12
blibanpok_: once you load ubuntu server 14.04.02LTS on a phone like E5 - what do you do to make the sensors accessible? What happens to the power part? LCD interaction?20:16
anpok_Dragonkeeper: there is a android-gadget-service enable rndis ..: http://askubuntu.com/questions/616245/tether-ubuntu-bq-phone20:16
Dragonkeeperanpok_: this works ok now ?  it never wanted to forward the connection before20:18
anpok_never tried it20:18
anpok_i just heard people claim it wokrs20:20
Dragonkeeperll try it again once phone boots new revision20:20
Dragonkeeperonly 2 things i need in my life .. internet and dual sim lol20:22
blibDragonkeeper: have you ever run ubuntu server on a phone?20:23
Dragonkeeperwhich brings me to the point...  when dual sim is activated ..  ubuntu should tell you which sim your being called from20:23
Dragonkeeperatm i dont think it even tell you which number is calling unless its saved in contacts ??20:23
Dragonkeeperblib: nope20:24
Dragonkeeperwell network is showing in phono app so..bonus /20:25

SturmFlutkalikiana: Great Ubuntu game reviews on G+22:42
kalikianaSturmFlut: Thanks!22:45
kalikianaHoping to see more of these native games (yeah I'm a little biased, as much as I love some web apps, native more often than not trumps web)22:46
SturmFlutkalikiana: Oh, Panda Love and Snowball World are standalone HTML5 games22:47
kalikianaSturmFlut: heh, way to prove my bias wrong :-D22:48
kalikianaI guess they're still written with Ubuntu touch in mind?22:49
SturmFlutkalikiana: We had to build a custom QML WebView container around them though, to force the orientation on both OTA-4 and OTA-522:49
SturmFlutkalikiana: No, actually we licensed both games from a guy from Brasil (I think) who created them with a game builder called "Construct2" and then exported to HTML5.22:51
kalikianahmmmm https://www.scirra.com/construct2 looks windows only22:53
SturmFlutVersion 3 will support Linux22:54
kalikianaah22:54
SturmFlutWe think about everything ;)22:54
kalikianaI was gonna say that would make it a really odd choice22:54
kalikianasuppose it goes to show how well our html5 experience works if I can't easily tell it from built for the system22:56
SturmFlutYeah, I am pretty happy with the result. And it worked as expected. Design the game in Construct2, hit on "Export HTML5", put the output inside the prepared Ubuntu container, ship.22:57
SturmFlutI think when everybody has updated to OTA-5 we can even drop the QML and just use webapp-container directly22:59
SturmFlutThis opens the platform for an incredible number of games, Construct2 is very popular and if you ship the game for free you can even use the free version of the tool.23:01
mariogripAnyone know why qmuxd gets "Unable to open port id /dev/smdcntl0, error [19:No such device]" when i know the smdcntl0 exist + has correct permission?23:30
