mcphailIs there a roadmap to getting video chatting in place on the phone? What would be the likely direction? WebRTC?08:42
ogra_mcphail, yeah, webrtc08:46
mcphailogra_: is there already support in the browser? I was wondering if it would be a simple matter of giving browser access to the camera?08:46
mcphail(or webapp)08:47
ogra_no, there isnt ... first of all it needs trust-prompt/trust-session integration08:47
ogra_then oxide needs to learn to manage hw devices08:47
ogra_probably oSoMoN knows where that stands, there is definitely work going on to implement it08:48
mcphailogra_: ok - chromium is capable, isn't it?08:48

ogra_oh, the cursor, sorry misread10:33
ogra_the fix will be in the next mir release afaik10:34
zzarrI understand that you can't give an exact date when that fix is released, but any idea?10:36

zzarrsry ogra_ I ended up running a debootstrap in any way I want apt ;)10:54
ogra_?10:54

ogra_not in the tarball i linked10:54
ogra_the snappy tarball is at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/daily-preinstalled/current/10:55
zzarrI wanted vivid, so I browsed around a bit10:55
ogra_the http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/daily/current/ is just the content of a "debootstrap --minbase"10:55

Guest82082yes11:11
zzarrGuest82082: how?11:11

zzarrthanks Guest82082 :)11:15
ogra_nobody holds you back to create a dalvik hack that works with Mir and ship that inside your click package though ;(11:15
ogra_err11:15
ogra_;)11:15
nhainesI'm not sure about that mailing list entry.11:15
nhainesStep 1: break your phone.11:15
Guest82082nhaines, zzarr is a developer11:16
zzarrokey, nhaines and ogra_11:16
ogra_well, following that clearly asks for re-flashing after you tried it11:16
zzarrI thought of that way yesterday, running Android apps in ARChon11:17
Guest82082zzarr, you can also make the terminal app not suspend11:18
zzarrGuest82082: how?11:18
Guest82082it's just a setting in gsettings11:18
ogra_via even more hacks :)11:18
zzarrall the hacks :)11:19
Guest82082zzarr, http://notyetthere.org/openstore-tweakgeek-and-more/11:21
zzarrAs much as I don't like Android apps I wish to use my banks app (it will take a while before it's ported to Ubuntu Touch)11:24
ogra_i guess you are out of luck with that ... unless you plan to never upgrade your phone after you set it up11:26
zzarrif there's a solution now, there will be in the future ;)11:27
ogra_i doubt that11:28
zzarrwhy?11:28
ogra_there is no sane way to allow execution of android apps in our security model11:28
zzarrwhat about XMir, Chromium and ARChon?11:29
ogra_even if you did go the "ship dalvik inside your click" way your app wouldnt have access to anything, missing the android system groups etc etc11:29
ogra_the only way to make it run is the apt way which we will never officially support on phones11:29
ogra_(since it works around all security)11:29
zzarrbut XMir will be officially supported?11:30
ogra_there might be a chance that someone eventually writes a snappy framework to run it inside a container or so and once the phones moved to snappy you could use that ...11:30
ogra_but that woiuld still not give you access to HW11:31
ogra_(or any other underlying system bits your app or the VM wants)11:31
zzarrtrue11:31
ogra_also you wouldnt be able to actually use the input layer properly i guess11:31
ogra_snappy will make all such things possible ... technically ... but that doesnt mean that your app will get along with that11:32
zzarrbut the bank app I'm talking about only needs a internet connection11:32
ogra_you would need transaltion layers everywhere11:33
* svij wouldn't use banking apps on any phone anyway…11:34
zzarrI'll have a look at ARChon later, maybe I can use some code from chromium and make my own app using webkit11:34
zzarrI don't see the harm in using it, it's very limited11:35
ogra_uuh11:35
ogra_that would become a gigantic click package ... if you ship webkit inside :)11:35
ogra_(there is no webkit on the phone)11:35
svijwhats the browser using then?11:35
ogra_oxide11:36
zzarrwhat about "include Ubuntu.Webkit" in QML?11:36
ogra_i dont think thats supported anymore11:36

ogra_(unless youo also provide the whole VM)16:15

ogra_they all run natively on Mir via SDL216:15
faenilcool stuff16:15
ogra_yep16:16
faenilI don't know much about apkenv atm, but I thought it could be a good starting point16:16
faenilI thought it was actually the opposite, it ran java apps but needed hacks for the ndk ones16:16
faenilbut your point makes more sense16:16
bschaeferfaenil, it should work fine as long as you use16:17
bschaeferfaenil, what version of mir? If you're 0.12 you should be fine16:17
bschaeferif you are greater then that you'll need this branch:16:17
bschaeferhttps://code.launchpad.net/~brandontschaefer/+junk/SDL2-new-mir-ABI16:18

john-mcaleelypete-woods, in fairness, I think it's more likely to be the arale usb controler, not your cables :-/16:22
john-mcaleelygood to see it working (I got distracted for a while)16:23
pete-woodsjohn-mcaleely: if it's useful information, it's a relatively expensive 1ft "Anker" cable that's working16:24

thepeter-webHi :)19:02
thepeter-webI have bought bq5 ubuntu edition and I would like to start with doing as real work as possible, but I have some questions (reagrding principles but also technical ones) who can I ask them please?19:05
Guest82082!question19:07
ubot5Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience19:07
popeythepeter-web: yeah, just ask away here.19:09
popeyor at askubuntu.com :)19:09
thepeter-webheh ok why is there a store with need for login do get apps? (I am linux user I know how packaging system work so why do I need to use login?)19:09
popeyso that we can do things like deliver the same apps to all your devices, keep them in sync, re-download paid apps19:09
thepeter-webthat is a very first one :D19:10
popeydoing this on day one means it's easier to add those features later19:10
popeywithout having to say to people "okay, 2 years later, _now_ you need a login"19:10
thepeter-webpoopey uhm okay but there is a way to use it with this feature is it?19:11
popeynot all of it is implemented yet19:11
thepeter-webcuase that the kind of freedom I like on linux  (decentralisation)19:12
thepeter-webcause ^19:12
thepeter-webI just would like to u know open terminal and start scripting (optimal would be python, but as I've red official support won't be seen for it soon)19:14
dobeyyou bought a phone, but you want a PC?19:15
thepeter-webehm I bought a device with some abilities somehwere between phone and PC :D19:16
mcphailthepeter-web: I can't see that anything stops you opening a terminal and starting scripting...19:16
dobeymcphail: probably the common complaint that certain things are not installed; like emacs19:17
thepeter-webI don't expect it to be PC, but yes I admit I want more than just smart phone19:17
dobeythepeter-web: https://askubuntu.com/questions/620740/recommended-way-to-install-regularcli-deb-packages-on-ubuntu-phone/623311#62331119:17
mcphailthepeter-web: the phone is remarkably hackable. You just need to spend a little bit of time working out the restrictions19:19
thepeter-webdobey cool thanks for link I just wanted to know if I can avoid using login and registering email and so on and just install terminal to open it for adjusments :P19:20
dobeyno, you can't install apps from the store without logging in19:20
thepeter-webmcphail that is what I expect from it (since it is opensource :P)19:20
dobeyyou can side-load apps over adb if you have developer mode enabled, and the .click package file to be installed19:21
ogra_thepeter-web, being opensource doesnt say anything about the hackability when the binaries are on a device ;) ... that the phones are hackable at all is due to the manufacturers allowing that, you can lock down ubuntu on the phone as much as you can with android :)19:23
ogra_(so if the vendors wanted that they could ... )19:24
thepeter-webdobey okay, so I am on 15.04 r4 is there documetation about  system? (dir structures and so on), so I am gona get my login in the store to get terminal on :P19:24
nhainesthepeter-web: you'll have to download the source and compile the Terminal yourself.19:25
nhainesThen you can sideload it without issue.19:25
dobeythepeter-web: it is ubuntu19:25
dobeythepeter-web: the root filesystem is read-only (it is a phone, after all)19:26
dobeyhence, the chroot method i linked to19:26
thepeter-weborga_ hackability is probably a strong word used by mcphail :D I just want to adjust it as linux machine adjusted can be :P19:26
mcphailthepeter-web: file system is similar to stock ubuntu. Clicks packages (e.g. apps from app store) get installed under /opt19:26
ogra_thepeter-web, you can do that ... within the bounds of the system ....19:26
mcphailthepeter-web: by "hackability" I mean I can write an app in almost any language and expect it to run. That is fairly cool19:27
ogra_ou can also hack nearly any part of the system ... technically :)19:27
dobeyor with an axe19:28
ogra_(there are some binary blob drivers that you cant ... obviously)19:28
nhainesI'm more than a little impressed that all the OEMs were fine with shipping with unlocked bootloaders.19:28
thepeter-webdobey okay but there are still specific thing to work with which I would not expect to be covered on computer but I'll just look for them19:28
dobeyi don't know what you mean19:28
nhainesthepeter-web: you're being awfully vague about it.19:28
ogra_nhaines, yeah, both commpanies acted really great here19:28
ogra_-m19:28
mcphailthepeter-web: you'll need to get used to app confinement and lifecycle management19:29
thepeter-webmcphail I would like to get to that point too ... in time :P19:29
nhainesogra_: even locked but unlockable would have been disappointing but acceptable.  Barely.  :)19:29
thepeter-webmcphail even with "my own small apps" ?19:29
mcphailthepeter-web: yep19:29
ogra_yeah, well, a nexus like way was what i hoped for initially ... we got far more ;)19:29
dobeynhaines: when an ubuntu phone is in "will it blend?" then you'll know we have been successful19:30
ogra_+119:30
mcphailthepeter-web: for your own apps, you can break confinement but it isn't so easy to break lifecycle management.19:30
nhainesogra_: until then, it's slightly less whining in /r/Ubuntu by people who won't buy the phone anyway, so it all works out for me.  :P19:30
thepeter-webnhaines sorry for that :) it is because I don't have absolutelly clear idea what adjusments I would like to do since don't really know yet how much is the system "locked" as orga_ menioned19:31
thepeter-webso I am just starting my imagination on this one19:32
ogra_thepeter-web, well, nothng is locked ... but if you make the readonly bit writable and modify it you can break it badly19:32
ogra_for example19:32
ogra_if you really want to dig in ... the first thing you shuld do is find out how to re-flash it ;)19:33
ogra_then just break it badly til you found your middle ground (or a proper way) for doing what you want19:33
thepeter-weborga_ I am very well aware of that danger :P that's why I went here to prenet as much dammage as possible :P19:34
ogra_we are here for any concrete questions ;)19:34
ogra_and i'd also suggest to subscribe to the ML19:35
FgmeizuWho is familiar with making scopes via scopecreator19:35
ogra_Fgmeizu, cwayne can surely point you in the right direction19:35
thepeter-webok so ... I have my contacts exported from old phone, and  I want to import them avoiding thirt party servers connections an so on ... I have them physically copied to the phone, is there a way to just import them to "contacts"?19:36
FgmeizuAllright have tried to make one, installed it on my meizu but not the result I expected19:36
FgmeizuThen made a few builds....19:36
FgmeizuBut think i made a mess now in my phone "click wise"19:37
FgmeizuHow can i see what packages are installed and how can I remove them from my phone?19:39
ogra_thepeter-web, the phone uses syncevolution and i think it is possible to import vcf contacts (not sure about bulk, i use google contacts) ... SIm import and google contact import are the only ones that currently have UI support19:39
dobeyFgmeizu: "click list"19:39
FgmeizuSaw somethink in the net like click list, but the package is not listed19:39
dobeywhat package is not listed?19:40

* ogra_ has never used scopecreator but i would guess the same19:41
FgmeizuOk, so where on the phone is it? Because the scope is there19:41

thepeter-weborga_ I know here is no simple UI for that, will use man to find text config, but step by step, first the terminal and some text editor :P19:44
popeywe ship nano and vi by default on the phone19:45
popeyso you're okay for editors..19:45
popey..unless you're some kind of emacs *pervert*19:45

thepeter-webmcphail :D :D I take these jokes as any noob should :P (I just hope I just didn't broke CoC by writing this :P)19:51
FgmeizuDobey: where do I find these?19:51
mcphailthepeter-web: I was semi-serious :)19:51
thepeter-webmcphail okay then :)19:52
dobeyFgmeizu: /home/phablet/.cache/upstart/scope-registry.log might have some errors when you try to use your scope. if you tail it, and watch it while trying to use y our scope, you might see it can't get results, or such19:52
ogra_thepeter-web, technically you could implement a file browser with a few lines of meta data in a click package that way ...19:52
ogra_mcphail is right ;)19:52
ogra_(as a webapp)19:52
mcphailthepeter-web: i really like the web renderer on Ubuntu, as used by the browser and the webapps. Very fast and standards-compliant19:53
FgmeizuDobey: ok19:53
FgmeizuDobey: just removing the package from the phone and trying to build again, opion? I have all files on the pc as well19:55
thepeter-weborga_ :) and thats why I wanted the documentation on 15.04 (r4) in the first place :P is there a blog of somebody decsribing how he/she did it? (u know examples ... easiest to learn on them :P)19:56
dobeyFgmeizu: ok. i'm just giving you hints on where to look to find out what's not working for you, so that you may fix it. i've not used that script myself, and i don't know what you're trying to do exactly19:57
dobeythepeter-web: i presume they all did it on an actual PC, using the SDK :)19:57
dobeywhich has fairly decent documentation, and a template for creating a web app :)19:58
thepeter-webdobey uhm you are probably right :P19:58
* ogra_ does it using vi in a terminal ;) 19:59

abacustardvarious other channels but I can't find a channel with a json for grouper21:22
nhainesSorry, I thought 'grouper' was the name for the GSM version of 'flo'.21:24
mcphailabacustard: what one is grouper? is that the 2012 or 2013 nexus 7?21:24
nhainesGrouper isn't supported and can't run Ubuntu.21:24
nhainesmcphail: it's the wifi 2012 model.21:24
mcphailnhaines: I think the 2012 ones can't run ubuntu21:24
mcphailnhaines: sorry - nick error!21:25
mcphailabacustard: ^21:25
abacustardi had quantal running earlier21:27
abacustardbut it was pretty unresponsive21:27
nhainesIf you want to run Ubuntu on it, you'll need to port it yourself.21:27
nhainesAnd there are no graphics drivers available if I recall.21:27
abacustardthanks nhaines21:41
abacustardxda seems to have a few successes21:41
nhainesabacustard: Hopefully so!21:46
abacustardstill a bit confised as to why the developer preview would work but nothing else BUT confusion is a state I am cofmortable with so hey ho21:48
mcphailabacustard: support was dropped21:48
nhainesabacustard: because AOSP dropped support for the hardware.21:48
nhainesThey spend significant time and resources trying to port it, but it was resources they didn't have.  And since they were almost a year off from their announced release date even after dropping support for the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 (2012), I'd say it was probably the right call, no matter how annoyed I was about it.  :)21:50
abacustardmakes sense - thanks so much for your help nhaines21:50
nhainesabacustard: sure.  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but maybe you saved some time.  See if anyone's still working on it over at xda perhaps!21:51
abacustardand mcphail!21:51
abacustardre: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/current/21:52
abacustardwhy are there grouper.img listed?21:53
habsbarry: I'd like to but I really can't because I'm working on a patch for an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS deriv and system-image-2.2 is the latest supported version in Trusty21:53
nhainesBecause they commited to maintaining the daily builds so that if the community stepped up and did the port, they'd accept the patches upstream so that everyone could use them.21:53
habsbarry: Does it seem like my problem http://sprunge.us/UJXS is related to the package version / will be fixed in a newer one? If so I could try compiling the newer version but I'd still need for it to work on the older one21:54
barryhabs: i'm almost positive the permission error is fixed in later versions, and the timeouts were due to race conditions that were also fixed.21:56
abacustardnhaines: ok I understand now - thanks again21:56
nhainesabacustard: it was a good question. :)21:56
mterryralsina, hello!  I see that once upon the time, you set ubuntu-push to not show a notification when the greeter is up.  Why is that?  Feels weirdly out-of-sorts with how we treat SMS22:41
