tedlz123sorry.07:41
nhainesIRC is slow.  A lot of people stay connected but only check in from time to time.  So it's better to ask a question and then check in later.  :)07:41

tedlz123Sorry, but I'm using my phone to connect this channel. And somehow my hand touched the "send" button so that my message was truncated.07:49
k1ltedlz123: IIRC, you loose the OTA updates if you make your system partition read/write to use apt-get07:50
nhainestedlz123: no, Ubuntu on phones doesn't use apt or apt-get.  It uses click packages, and eventually snaps.07:50
nhainesAs k1l mentions, you can work around this but it can cause problems and is not supported.  When we get around to snaps, though, it should be a lot easier.  :)07:51
tedlz123I'm considering to flash my Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250 with the system Ubuntu Touch. Which image should I use?07:55

salem88hi all! Maybe someone can help me: 3-4 month ago I watched at the following link the status of art about ubuntu touch for nexus 5 ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices ). For this device seem persists issues about bluetooth and battery. Is there someone who can confirm this? thanks!13:10
dobeysalem88: i don't quite understand what you're asking. bluetooth and several other things still do not work on nexus 513:24
salem88ok, thanks! :)13:24
dobeysalem88: my understanding is that bluetooth is definitely not going to work on n5, at least until the phone stack switches over to bluez5, due to the hardware and incompatibilies with bluez413:26
dobeyi don't know why gps and some other things don't work. but battery probably isn't going to improve much, until the drivers can be controlled for the hardware which isn't working in ubuntu (lack of ability to use the hardware, means it's possible the hardware can be eating power up, but software has no way to control it)13:28
mukaCan someone with nexus 4 let me know, or test, if can get network cellular data over 15Kb/s? This is what I get, and I would like to see if this is my service provider or phone. Thank you.13:34

robrumterry: oh hell yes. I tried to do that a year ago and we couldn't due to API backwards compatibility with whatever framework was supported at the time18:39
mterryrobru, oh hrm.  So we'd presumably still have that problem?18:39
robrumterry: well here's the thing. the API's been in a neutered state for a long time now. so any app using that API, would technically "work" but no results would ever be returned18:40
robrumterry: so if they haven't noticed by now, I dunno, I think it's plenty of a grace period18:40
robrumterry: API has been neutered for 13 months now: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~super-friends/friends/trunk/revision/25618:41
robrumterry: also IIRC at some point somebody audited the app store for any apps using this and notified them that it was going to stop working back then as well.18:42
mterryrobru, yeah I get that.  But still, that puts it in API-maintainer territory.  Who should we get sign-off from?  I'll subscribe them to the MP18:42
mterryrobru, I'm on board with nuking it  :)18:42
mterryI guess... depends how many actually still use it.  Maybe another audit is in order18:42
robrumterry: I dunno, what engineering manager is in charge of framework API commitments...18:43
robrumterry: how would we do such an audit? is it possible to grep all clicks?18:53
robruI think popey did this last time this came up18:53
mterryrobru, great question...  I assume the store people can...18:53
popeyhmm?18:53
robrupopey: can you audit the app store for any click packages still using friends api?18:54
popeynot easily or quickly18:54
popeyit's pretty time consuming to do18:54
robrupopey: is there no way to script or automate it?18:54
popeythere kinda is, but you have to a) download all the clicks, b) unpack them all, c) grep for the import18:55
robrupopey: they're just tarballs aren't they? can't you zgrep them? ;-)18:55
popeythey're ar archives18:55
popeylike debs18:55
robrupopey: is it possible that *I* could download all the clicks or do you have special permissions for that?18:55
popeyyou could just wget them all from my mirror18:55
robrupopey: what's your mirror?18:56

popeysorry, it's on my cable connection, only 5Mb up19:26
robrupopey: oh haha thought you had a cloud or something19:27
robrupopey: how much space do you think it would take unpacked? double? or triple? trying to decide if it makes more sense to unpack everything then grep everything or unpack one at a time in a loop...19:28
popeyi had a script which unpacked each one19:28
popeynever all at once19:28
robrupopey: I think I'll risk unpacking all of them just to see how much space it takes ;-)19:28
popeyyou'll need to ar -x the click, and then unpack the data.tgz inside19:29
robrupopey: oh thanks19:31
dobeyrobru: was friends api ever part of the sdk framework?19:34

=== dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk
robrumterry: the hardest part was unpacking everything, once I had it unpacked it was super easy. I use a tool called 'ack' which is basically the same as 'grep -R' but with some nicer output20:25
mcphailrobru: ag is faster20:26
robrumterry: apparently when you do 'ar x', the contents of the click all have the same filenames, so unpacking them all in the same dir, they all overwrite each other. had to do some gymnastics to make directories for each one to unpack to20:26
robrumcphail: ag?20:26
mcphailrobru: silversearcher-ag is the ubuntu package20:26
mcphailrobru: does most of the nice things ack does but faster20:27
robrunice20:27
robrumcphail: thanks20:27
mcphail:)20:27
robrumcphail: interesting, the output is the same, even same coloring. meant to be a workalike?20:28
mcphailrobru: more or less a drop-in replacement20:28
mcphailrobru: and it is one character less to type! (presented as a "feature" by the upstream author)20:30
robrumcphail: that's 33% faster!20:30
mcphailrobru: I alias it to "a" for extra special speed20:31
robrumcphail: well i could just alias ack to 'a' :-P20:32
mcphailrobru: you cheat20:32
* mcphail wonders if he can alias a command to the "enter" key to increase the speed by infinity20:33

TeaHullo - I might have done a dumb thing and made my phone writeable; ran apt-get update/upgrade and now whenever I close an app the phone reboots.23:03
TeaShould I just reflash it?23:04
mcphailTea: that would probably sort it out, I'd imagine23:08
TeaIt would sort it out but i would also like to try and figure out why updating caused it23:09
TeaI guess it's just dumb to try and upgrade with apt-get?23:09
TeaDoes it stick me on some bleeding edge branch or something?23:09
mcphailTea: as far as I can tell, so much happens off-piste on the phone images that updating can't be supported23:10
TeaRight23:11
mcphailTea: you should be able to reflash without losing your data, though23:12
popeyyeah, we never test using apt-get23:12
popeyso if it breaks, well done, you get to keep the pieces23:12
popey:)23:12
TeaThere's not much data I'm worried about except contacts23:12
TeaBut that's in /home, right?23:12
mcphailTea: yes, I think so. A normal reflash doesn't seem to lose contacts (but you should always back up just in case)23:13
TeaRight23:13
Tea.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/contacts.db is apparently it23:13
TeaAlso what do you mean by a normal reflash? Is there a recommended method?23:14
mcphailTea: just flash without passing --bootstrap and you should be OK23:14
mcphailTea: I've only had to flash with --bootstrap (and wipe everything) when I had a flash go wrong23:15
TeaAh - with what tool is that? I have an Aquaris 4.5. I had to install Ubuntu on this (person i got it from installed android) - they have a tool, but it's GUI and I don't know what flags it passes23:16
mcphailTea: the ubuntu-device-flash command23:16
TeaAh okay23:16
mcphailTea: "ubuntu-device-flash touch --channel=ubuntu-touch/stable/bq-aquaris.en" was what worked for me earlier this evening23:17
TeaRight so do I supply bq-aqauris.en or does it grab it?23:18
mcphailTea: it will download it for you23:18
Teaoh nice23:18
TeaHm - it's telling me it can't find an exposed adb interface, although I can use adb shell as normal23:21
mcphailTea: that is odd. Have you closed all other adb sessions before trying to flash?23:23
TeaI just rebooted it - it's working now23:23
mcphailok23:23
TeaAssuming I got the right contacts file this won't go terribly :D23:23
mcphail:)23:24
TeaIdiot that I am factory reset my old phone so I won't be able to copy them by eye, whoops23:24
mcphailTea: I think it is worth flashing a new recovery, when you get a chance, as well. The stock recovery doesn't have adb but there is an adb-enabled one out there. Helpful if you can't get the phone to boot23:24
Teaseems to be taking a long while on ubuntu-61dbd90be1acf5c2e4c9341f77e7054c98d4a53e90b1a211bcda9d2a02894368.tar.xz - no progress bar yet23:25
mcphailTea: yes - can take wuite a while23:26
