bobloblianHello, I got my new Aquaris E5 yesterday, so I ran down and got a sim card.  It appears that the sim card is detected by the phone because when I swipe from the top and go under network, it will say the sim is unregistered or searching, or sometimes it says denied, but when I go into cellular settings and search for carriers it finds none.00:06
bobloblianhow can I find more info about why it is failing?00:07
bobloblianin case it matters, I am in northern canada, but the cell company says it supports 2g and 3g, and hspa00:09
Didge-That's interesting, have you "activated" the SIM prior with the telecom? I've never heard of this happening and really I don't have a complete answer.00:09
Didge-Maybe you can search for the carrier settings on google, and insert them yourself to get the 8bit SIM CPU to connect to the carrier via the phone then?00:10
bobloblianThe sim has never been in another phone, if that is what you mean...00:10
bobloblianhm.  I need to interpret that answer on google, give me a few minutes00:11
Didge-No that's fine, I understand that.. Maybe the SIM will not connect unless it has been activated, I'm in the UK and CAN/US do things differently I think. Sorry I could not be of more help to you.00:11
Didge-What phone company do you use?00:11
Didge-the new SIM!00:11
bobloblianI am connecting through a company called iristel00:11
Didge-okie, I will try to search with you and maybe we can come up with something eh :D00:12
bobloblianby carrier settings, are you talking about APN?00:14
Didge-That sounds just the ticket APN settings..00:14
bobloblianThanks for helping, by the way, you are awesome :)00:14
Didge-Don't worry mate, it's no hassle for me.. Even though I don't fully know what the settings are I'm sure we can find something to move this process along a bit more heh00:15
bobloblianokay, so the APN for internet, according to the store, is net.icew.ca00:15
Didge-They seem to be a VoIP provider more then a normal telco carrier, have you enabled "Data connection" in some way shape or form.00:16
bobloblianYes, they have given me a data plan...00:16
bobloblianwhile I was at the store, we took a sim card out of a different phone from the only other carrier up here, and it wouldn't detect any cell networks using that card either...00:17
bobloblianI spent about an hour there yesterday and we all tried to make it work...00:17
bobloblianthe way they explained it to me, and showed me on their android phones, when the sim card is in, it should show all the networks that can be joined too.  one guy said it was like the antenna wasn't working...00:19
Didge-That is as about as weird as it could get mate.. That's really odd, you know.. Even they noticed it!!00:21
Didge-They are right though, in Android it should just pop up and ask if you wanna switch carrier.. Let me see if I can find out how Ubuntu Touch goes about doing this online.00:21
bobloblianThe only place I found was under system settings=>cellular=>carrier00:23
bobloblianI was wondering if there is a log file I can look at that will tell me about the cell network connection?00:24
Didge-Their would be nothing in the file anyway mate, if it does not even pick-up a signal when the SIM in inserted all the file would contain just junk I reckon :(00:25
Didge-Have you inserted there APN settings into the device used now?00:25
bobloblianI did insert the APN settings yes...00:28
bobloblianI set it to use custom and put the setting in, they said no user/pass...00:28
bobloblianwhen I go back to it, the setting is still in there, but the custom option becomes unchecked...00:28
Didge-I know orange here in the UK use both user/pass as the word "orange"!00:28
Didge-it's the IMEI and SIM ID their after to proving that the SIM is one of theirs of something along them lines like..00:29
Didge-you could maybe try the company name as the APN usr/pass00:29
bobloblianI can find the IMEI, but I do not know where to find the SIM ID...00:30
bobloblianI guess if the phone is detecting the card, it should be listed somewhere?00:31
bobloblianI will phone them again in a minute to confirm about the user/pass...00:31
Didge-no no no, that's not for you, I was just explaining how the telco know it's their SIM, the basic process..00:32
Didge-I have the EE APN settings and I don't think they would be to far from anyone elses bar an IP and a few things.00:33
Didge-Name - EE Internet00:33
Didge-APN - everywhere00:33
Didge-Username - eesecure00:33
Didge-Password - secure00:33
Didge-MMSC - http://mms/00:33
Didge-MMS Proxy - 149.254.201.13500:33
Didge-MMS Port - 808000:33
Didge-Authentication type - PAP00:33
Didge-the information you are looking for will in some form look like the above.00:33
Didge-But alas this firm have not publicly displayed their current settings and even worse still, hardly anything at all for customer support.. Must be costly for them to have to employ so many folks to answer questions like this when they can just have them online for everyone of their users..00:34
Didge-You should tell them about the exact model of your cell phone too and ask if they can go through the process with you while you are on-call.. Your paying for bill so you do require the support, otherwise you would take your hard earned cash elsewhere mate ;)00:36
bobloblianheh, in northern Canada carrier options are limited, not many places to take my cash too ;)00:37
Didge-Make sure you tell them you've got 6 kids and you had to skimp on bread and water this week to get to grips with their tech, LOL ;)00:37
Didge-Bunch of Bumba's eh.. Canada monopoly too I see ;D00:37
bobloblianactually, ice is the non-monopoly company, that is why I went with them...00:37
Didge-Jesus, you lot don't win eh!00:38
boblobliantrying to help them break into the system, because the monopoly company is pretty evil...00:38
boblobliannot yet, but we keep trying and we will some day00:38
bobloblianSo when I am talking to them, is there any info I can give them from the phone about what might cause the failure to scan the networks?00:39
bobloblianbesides "doesn't work"00:39
Didge-Not really, from what you are saying you have a fully working device, apart from when you insert this SIM card into said device..00:40
Didge-The only option would be to try the same new SIM in another device and see what happens.. You could have a defective SIM at the worst state of affairs..00:41
Didge-You could just list the make and model and OS usage of your cell phone and they should be able to do the handy work for you.00:42
bobloblianright.  we didn't try that, but we did put a known-good sim card into this phone and it did the same...00:43
bobloblianI will get on the phone with them now, I know the close soon.  thanks for the input, I will be back later, I am sure00:43
Didge-it's no worries mate, I'm sure everyone is here to help.. My first time in the channel hehe00:44
Didge-I think maybe you have a defective phone now.. Just from what you have said, I would try the NEW and old SIMs on two devices and see what happens too :)00:45
Didge-When did you buy this device?00:45
bobloblianjust got delivered to me yesterday...00:46
Didge-yep, I just scrolled up and taken a look at what you wrote earlier..00:46
Didge-You could well have a defective phone from the off of opening the package if the new SIM works in another device..00:46
Didge-Un less there is by chance some hidden mystical menu that only the phone manufacturer knows about but I highly doubt anything like that goings on.00:47
Didge-You tried just hooking it up to a WiFi connection and seeing if the WiFi even works?00:48
bobloblianya, wifi works, got email on dekko and such, gave it a good going over last night.  everything working except the cell network, and related apps of course00:48
bobloblianI considered starting with BQ to ask for support, but never got a chance to call them today.  It's so hard to be popular ;)00:49
Didge-Jesus, you have me stumped here I can tell you that now, it's a strange event unless we have both missed something really obvious here.00:49
bobloblianheh, not just me and you, three guys down at the wireless store too ;)00:50
mTeKIs the frequency supported on the phone and your carrier00:50
bobloblianso they say...00:50
Didge-Right I'm very sorry for leaving but it's 0200hours here in the UK and I need to get a nap for a while :) I'll be back in ten, twelve hours and I would be interested in hearing about how this plays out for you :)00:52
Didge-Night guys, nice to meet you all btw :D00:52
boblobliannight didge, thanks again00:53
bobloblianjust got off the phone with the cell company.  On both 2g and 3g, they support 450, 850, and 1900.  the phone on 3g only does 900 and 2100, but on 2g it does list 850 and 1900 as supported frequencies...01:01
bobloblianthe other cell company also supports the 900 and 2100 on the 3g band, so in theory, it should still detect those networks even if it doesn't connect to them01:02
bobloblianreally starts to look like this is a hardware problem01:03
Didge-I have just got an eMail from Linaro regarding WiseDevice, I have a meeting via t'internet tomorrow.. How kewl is that, love the ubuntu community :)01:23
nhainesOoh, congrats!01:23
Didge-Cheers pal :) Even if it's a bugger off, I would still be happy to go through the motions and work with the linaro and ubuntu community.. it's got massive potential on the open market :D Well it has had for the last 5-7 years i reckon :)01:25
Didge-Can't wait! Anyway I better hit the sack. Just thought I would pop in and let you guys know, maybe we can all see how the outcome goes tomorrow eh :)01:25
Didge-Night fellas and thanks for having me :)01:25

bobloblianduflu: no luck yet.  Everything is pointing me at this being a physical problem with the device, so I have submitted a ticket with BQ and will see what they have to say before I proceed with other diagnostics01:45
bobloblianif it is a hardware problem, not much point in trying to configure my way out of it...01:46
bobloblianBut I will join the mailing list, it's the best way to learn ;)01:47
JanCbobloblian: might be a regulatory thing too01:50
bobloblianJanC: you mean like a phone that isn't configured by the cell company can't connect to the cell company's network, or you mean something to do with the frequencies?01:54
JanCbobloblian: both, to some degree; they might block phones that are considered "incompatible"/"untested"?02:06
JanCalso, did you try to disable 3G as those frequencies don't match up?02:06
bobloblianhm.  according to the guys at the store any phone that supports the sim card should work, but this phone definitely isn't one of the standard manufacturers for this area, so I guess that is a possibility..02:08
bobloblianyes, I set to use the 2g only (save battery) option02:08

aquariusI've just had OTA-6 arrive on my MX-4; told it "install and restart" and I now have a black screen, spinning Ubuntu logo, flashing "In Progress", and "Restarting...". But the phone can lock, and when I unlock it takes me back to this screen. It's been like it for ten minutes, so I assume that something has gone wrong with the upgrade. What should I do?10:03

montimeranyone use the core app Calendar? I'm having trouble running it to begin with, getting this error: http://pastebin.com/Up3b7ft110:36
popeymontimer: what you running that on?10:38
montimerpopey: 15.04, nothing special :/10:39
popeyyou probably need the sdk ppa10:39
montimerpopey: wait, nooby question: what's sdk?10:41
nik90montimer: the ubuntu-sdk. Add this ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa10:42
nik90and then try again10:42
montimernik90: so the sdk is a developer tool? just trying to understand the system10:43
nik90montimer: the Ubuntu-SDK allows developers to create Ubuntu Touch apps using a common API and is based on upstream QT. I am pretty sure someone else can give a better definition than me.10:45
nik90montimer: Installing the Ubuntu-SDK also installs the Qtcreator IDE, along with other developer tools.10:46
montimernik90: ok cool :) thanks! I'll let you know if it works10:46
montimer:The following packages have unmet dependencies.  ubuntu-sdk : Depends: ubuntu-sdk-libs-dev but it is not going to be installed10:47
nik90montimer: I just looked at your error log. I am not sure it will work.10:47
montimernik90: oh. howcome?10:48
nik90montimer: can you follow the instructions on https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-sdk/installing-the-sdk/10:48
nik90montimer: because10:48
nik90your error has something to do with OAuth authentication which is not something the SDK will solve10:48
nik90I am curious, let me try running it on my end10:48
montimernik90: thanks!10:49
nik90montimer: hmm it runs on my laptop without any problems. I am on 15.10 but that shouldn't matter.10:52
nik90montimer: Do you by chance have bzr installed? You could try running it directly from source without any compilation.10:52

nik90pmcgowan: Do you expect the default alarm sound to be localized to the clock app? There are 2 sides to this. Indicator-datetime sets the default alarm sound which will be used by *all* apps.10:53
nik90pmcgowan: I could expose a settings in the clock app to set the default alarm sound. But do you want that to override system-wide or just within the clock app?10:54
pmcgowannik90, hmm I didn't realize it was a system level setting, one sec10:54
montimernik90: Don't have bzr. :/ I'll try installing that missing library dependancy, and then install sdk and see if it works10:55
=== zhxt is now known as zhxt_away
nik90montimer: ok, give that a shot.10:55
pmcgowannik90, but the alarm sounds are not exposed anywhere it seems10:55
nik90pmcgowan: the indicator-datetime exposes that via dbus to the clock app. https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~charlesk/indicator-datetime/lp-1318997-export-properties-to-dbus/view/head:/data/com.canonical.indicator.datetime.AlarmProperties.xml10:56
montimerHA. nik90 that lib depends on qtmultimedia5-dev. how far up will this chain go?10:56
pmcgowannik90, seems sound settings should support this then10:56
nik90pmcgowan: hmm I suppose then the system-settings app can provide that settings option to change the default alarm sound which can the be respected by the clock app automatically.10:57
pmcgowannik90, that seems correct to me, I wonder if the design already includes this10:57
Laneyhttps://jpetazzo.github.io/2013/10/06/policy-rc-d-do-not-start-services-automatically/10:58
nik90pmcgowan: however there are drawbacks to this approach though. If the user sets a long custom sound as the default alarm sound in the system-settings app, then the calendar events will also use that sound since we're overriding it system-wide.10:59
montimernik90: the chain goes up quite a bit. Am I missing an entire app that might explain why I'm missing so many libraries?10:59
pmcgowannik90, to me events not equal alarms, they are two different roles10:59
nik90montimer: lol .. no idea. I usually just install "ubuntu-sdk" and it installs everything for me.10:59
pmcgowannik90, so we have no control of this today, I will enter a different bug them, you can mark that one invalid11:00
nik90pmcgowan: true, I suppose then the calendar-app should take note and set a separate sound for events.11:00
montimernik90: first time it's doing this for me too..... maybe I'll ask over at #ubuntu for this and come back here if it still doesnt work. Thanks for the help!11:00

nik90montimer: do you have EDS installed?11:00
nik90montimer: qtorganizer5-eds11:01
ogra_john-mcaleely, i assume you dont want libreoffice inside the rootfs but rather in the custom tarball, how about moving custom to userdata and keeping cache for the system ? i.e. a split approach11:02
john-mcaleelyogra_, yeah, that's not a bad idea11:02
john-mcaleelyand yes, it seems likely to be in in custom11:03
montimernik90: Nope. Do i need it?11:03
john-mcaleelyhowever, I think some of the container infrastructure will be rootfs based, and also large11:03
ogra_would be sad to not make use of the cache partition at all anymore11:03
john-mcaleelyyeah11:03
ogra_rightm, the infrastructure needs to go into the rootfs11:03
nik90montimer: install that one and try it out. Calendar stores its events in EDS (also used by Gnome Evolution). But might be the culprit here.11:03
nik90s/But/that11:03
ogra_the bits using it dont need that necessarily11:03
ogra_a complete ubuntu-core (not snappy) chroot is gz compressed about 45MB ...11:04
john-mcaleelyI think the error cases get a lot more complex if there are two download locations11:04
ogra_if you compress that with xz you'll likey end up with something below 40M11:04
ogra_(and i assume the infra is nothing more than a chroot with the very basics to execute things... )11:05
montimernik90: Wait. I had evolution before, but I uninstalled rather messily because I wasn't happy with it... maybe that caused it?11:05
john-mcaleelyogra_,  there's talk of a 1.2G default image, compressed11:05
ogra_thats insane11:05
john-mcaleelyonce you include the container stuff + libreoffice11:05
john-mcaleelyyeah11:05
ogra_ah, and libreoffice11:06
=== plutonux is now known as plutoniix
nik90montimer: Could be. Since your original error about "Tasks" not supporting OAuth 2.0 and stuff is definitely EDS related.11:06
ogra_well, libreoffice should ship its own deps and the like insode its package (snap/click whatever) ...11:06
ogra_but the infra should only be an execution env11:06
ogra_which shouldnt add gigs to the rootfs11:06
montimernik90: damn. should i reinstall evolution, and then try again?11:07
ogra_i cant imagine that the rootfs itself needs to grow more than 100M if properly designed11:07
ogra_to provide container/chroot execution11:08
ogra_(so that devices that dont ship libreoffice dont need to grow so much ... this needs to be intelligently split)11:08
nik90montimer: maybe try cleaning up the eds config files first. I need to quickly check where they are usually installed11:09
nik90montimer: delete .local/share/evolution and then reinstall qtorganizer5-eds and then try calendar app.11:09
nik90montimer: note that removing evolution folder will remove all your emails, calendar events etc you might have had in evolution11:10
montimernik90: I had nothing that I don't have elsewhere. Haven't used evolution in a long time because I didn't like it11:10
nik90montimer: then go for it11:10
montimernik90: is there a separate ppa for qtorganizer? I can't install it just like that11:12
nik90montimer: why not? Package not found?11:13
montimerthat's odd..... it says it's already installed but running it does nothnig11:14
nik90montimer: new thing then...kill evolution process and then remove .local/share/evolution and then start calendar11:15
nik90if you remove the folders while eds was running, it doesnt work (I think)11:15
montimernik90: oh my god it works!11:16
montimernik90: wait.... how does it have some of my accounts already? and how do i modify that?11:17

Didge-Just finished my meeting with Linaro, awesome community!!!16:22
Didge-I now need to employ some software developers to help me mod the GUIs and a few other things from the ubuntu community, so that we can OSS the hardware and software..16:23
Didge-Not sure how to approach OSS ubuntu developers, pay them too..16:24
popeyDidge-: what's the context?16:25
Didge-I can give you a link to my firm website, demonstrating the device if you would allow me?16:27
Didge-http://www.wisecorp.co.uk/wisedevice.html16:27
Didge-Currently working with a PCB producer and with the SoC manufacturer.. But things take time, as ever on a hardware front.16:28
popeySounds expensive.16:32
Didge-so's an apple iPhone or Samsung S6 Edge, but with the contacts we have at maximum cost a complete wisedevice can be produced for near on $200 dollars?16:33
Didge-15%~20% of the profit goes back to ubuntu community, too.16:33
Didge-4G antenna alone will cost about 100 EUROs16:34
dobeyi guess you want to get in touch with canonical about partnering on support of the device or something?16:34
Didge-That sounds like another good option, I started with Linaro as my first point of call to be honest.16:35
ogra_linaro does phones ?16:36
Didge-Gotta say though, Ubuntu community is more stable then most with regards to the community infrastructure.16:36
Didge-https://www.linaro.org/16:36
dobeyogra_: linaro just does low level hardware stuff. i guess you could use some linaro arm stuff to build a phone.16:36
ogra_yes, i know :)16:37
Didge-take a look, we was looking to develop our own SoC along with ARM in cambridge, SoC fabrication would have been taken care of by AllWinner16:37
ogra_but nothing they do would help porting ubuntu phone ...16:37
Didge-it's not the wisedevice I am touting to them but further hardware development with my own SoC designs..16:37
ogra_ah16:38
ogra_cool16:38
Didge-sorry dude :(16:38
ogra_no, thats all fine :)16:38
dobeyogra_: well, ubuntu + linaro is a known good combination, so seems like a decent starting point to designing the hardware that would become the phone.16:38
dobeyanyway16:38
ogra_i was just wondering how linaro is related16:38
dobeylinaro definitely doesn't do front end ubuntu UI stuff16:38
Didge-Thats fine ogra_ , I was not dissing you in any way mate and I can see the confusion. :)16:39
dobeywhich is what it seems Didge- is needing16:39
ogra_right and their hwpack setup doesnt really go well with the phone setup we have16:39
ogra_its closer to snappy than to ubuntu phone16:39
Didge-Snappy?16:40
dobeythe mock-ups for the wise thing as shown on that page would definitely need some changes in the ubuntu image to be able to support it16:40
ogra_(phone requires most HW bits in a container that carries the android drivers)16:40
dobeyogra_: right, that's because we've only built images for android-based devices so far though16:40
ogra_Didge-, yeah, our new IoT, cloud, router/switch (and future phone) OS16:40
Didge-indeed, it does, I just did not want to show the hinge mech and the general design outlay just yet as I'm still working on the complete shell design and 3D printing it for testing at home or work.16:41
ogra_Didge-, https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/16:41
Didge-cheers for the link, brb16:41
ogra_we'll base the phone on this eventually16:41
ogra_(and the pocket desktop)16:41
dobeyvictorp: ^^ do you know whom at canonical Didge- should be getting in contact with about partnering to support a new device? i don't see an obvious "contact us here about this" on the "For partners" page for phones on ubuntu.com16:42
Didge-I have been trying to find out that information and contacts myself over the last few months, heh it's hard to get contacts within the community at that level I think.16:45
Didge-I will approach the Ubuntu community in a few hours with regards to putting the idea about, looking for developers for this fork? or expansion on the Touch version of Ubuntu :)16:48

StatelessCatHello Dragnell20:03
StatelessCatDragnell: I'm installing Ubuntu Touch on N4 too. Did you talk about this https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/image-channels/ ?20:03
StatelessCatDragnell: are you talking about "ubuntu-touch/stable/ubuntu" and "ubuntu-touch/devel/ubuntu" ?20:04
Dragnell_No, more like this20:05
Dragnell_https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/ReleaseNotes/OTA-620:05
Dragnell_ ubuntu-touch/stable/bq-aquaris.en - mako20:06
Dragnell_bq-aquaris ? for mako20:06
Dragnell_I am using stable/ubuntu20:07
Dragnell_just want to know the differences20:08
dobeyDragnell_: it's an image closer to what is on the bq devices, but for mako20:08

dobeyyes, iirc20:11
dobeyiirc, it has today scope and others installed by default20:11
Didge-Dunno whats gone on with ubuntu forum, after they have given me a clout for spamming when I was not it seems I cannot even contest the matter with them?? Not a clue what they have done but my profile has less rights then an anonymous user from anywhere in the world.. I get more access to more information logged out still..20:11
dobeywhile the /ubuntu image doesn't20:11
dobeyDidge-: i have no idea, but the place to ask about forums is in #ubuntu-forums iirc20:12
Dragnell_glad to know thanks20:12
StatelessCatI just installed ubuntu-touch/stable/ubuntu on my N4 mako, and I got no WIFI. I look around and installed 4.3 radio.20:13

StatelessCatDragnell_: what was the Android version you were using just before installing Ubuntu Touch ?20:16
StatelessCatdobey: glad to see it's possible to get it works :)20:16
dobeyStatelessCat: are you using multirom and android 5.x?20:17
StatelessCatdobey: same question, wich version of Android before Ubuntu touch installing ?20:17
Dragnell_StatelessCat: 5.020:17
StatelessCatI was using 5.1.1 before installing, I wipe cache and everything. And I have done the installation of Ubuntu Touch (I Have done nothing for getting multiboot)20:17
dobeyStatelessCat: i am pretty sure it had 4.4 on it when i flashed it originally20:17
dobeyStatelessCat: that was over a year ago though20:17
Didge-<dobey>I'm on it mate, cheers for the help and advice :)20:18
dobeyStatelessCat: i'd suggest flashing 4.4, booting to the welcome screen, rebooting to fastboot/recovery, and then flashing ubuntu20:18
StatelessCatthanks :)20:18
StatelessCati will20:18
Dragnell_StatelessCat: let us know20:19
StatelessCat4.4, 4.4.2, 4.4.3, 4.4.4 ?20:19
dobeyi know android 5.x has created some issues with flashing because the recovery and kernel are different20:19
StatelessCatDragnell_: I will!20:19
dobeyStatelessCat: 4.4.4. should be fine. any of those would be really. just 5.x is what causes issues20:19
dobeyif you got booted enough to have wifi not work, i'd say you're lucky :)20:20
Dragnell_dobey: the wiki should mention this.20:21
StatelessCatdobey: not sure to understand the joke :/, but :)20:21
dobeyStatelessCat: not a joke. if you had android 5.x and you were able to successfully flash the device, you're very lucky. i've not heard of anyone successfully flashing a device that had 5.x on it20:24
dobeyStatelessCat: but hopefully reflashing to 4.4.4, then back to ubuntu, will fix your issue20:24
Didge-Whos the fella last night that could not get their new SIM to connect to their new provider... Wonder how thats going :/20:38
bobloblianThat's me.  I have a ticket in with BQ, gave them all the relevant info, waiting for a response20:39
Didge-Jesus, thats a turn up for the books.. At least they are working towards solving the matter matey :) Glad to hear it :)20:40
StatelessCatdobey, Dragnell_, just to be sure, you are using ubuntu-touch/stable/ubuntu or ubuntu-touch/devel/ubuntu ?20:44
dobeyStatelessCat: i'm using neither, but i'm special and i wouldn'd advise using the channel i'm using as it's very unstable :)20:45
StatelessCatI see, youre a Ubuntu Touch dev ?20:45
dobeyyes20:46
dobeyfor a stable phone, i'd suggest using stable20:46
StatelessCatnot sure my phone is stable, I use it when I'm walking, it's not very stable for the device :)20:46
dobeywell i presume you want the software to be stable, while you're walking ;)20:47
StatelessCatIs Ubuntu Phone is like Android, with FOSS apps mixed with Proprietary closed sources app (gmail, ....) ?20:47
dobeystable channel is the most tested20:47
dobeywell gmail is just a web app. the web site is obviously proprietary20:47
dobeyand some of the drivers are proprietary20:48
Dragnell_StatelessCat: stable20:48
dobeythe telegram app is open source20:48
StatelessCatI mean about all Proprietary apps in Android. That lead to a partial Open-Source OS. Is Ubuntu Touch doing the same ?20:48
dobeyi guess the HERE app might be proprietary, not sure20:48
StatelessCatDragnell_: thanks20:49
dobeyStatelessCat: the ubuntu-touch/stable/ubuntu channel has no proprietary apps installed by default; only thing proprietary in that image, is hardware drivers20:49
StatelessCatdobey: are you sure on Android GMAIL is a Web App ? That can explain the Google involvment in WebComponents specifications and Polymer...20:49
dobeybecause hardware manufacturers are not up and up on the whole open source love thing yet20:49
StatelessCatnice :)20:50
dobeyStatelessCat: not on android, on ubuntu it is20:50
StatelessCatFor me this is a good argument for Ubuntu Touch :)20:50
dobeyi don't know what the apps on android that i don't have the source for, are :)20:50
StatelessCatI just installed 4.4.4. Do I need to clean cache or something before installing Ubuntu Touch ?20:51
dobeyi presume it has the web component beause emails are html and whatnot20:51
dobeyi don't think so20:51
Dragnell_StatelessCat: still, the phone some time freeze, and today scope is broken most of the time20:51
dobeyyou just need to boot the phone, so it initializes stuff, iirc20:51
StatelessCatok20:53
StatelessCatBy the way, ubuntu-device-flash is runngin very nice on other distro than Ubuntu :)20:53
StatelessCatI'm using this PKGBUILD https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=ubuntu-device-flash on Arch, and it seems to works very well20:54
StatelessCatThe first time I come to Ubuntu Touch, I Was thinking I must have and Ubuntu installed on my computer...20:54
dobeycool20:54
StatelessCatthe documentation is a little... vague on this topic20:54
StatelessCat:/20:54
StatelessCatI think it's bad, this can discouraging people to install it.20:55
StatelessCatStill I'm thinking I need Ubuntu for dev apps for Ubuntu Phone. Is it true ?20:55
StatelessCatAfter 4.4.4, the ubuntu-device-flash seems to take less time than when i was trying to go from 5.1.1 to Ubuntu Touch ^^20:56
StatelessCatraaaah still no WIFI :/21:01
StatelessCatI even dont have any switch to enable or disable Wifi, that is stange21:01
StatelessCatjust having "previous networks" on the wifi menu21:03
Dragnell_StatelessCat:"throwing rock here", did you test conecting to a wifi from android?21:06
StatelessCatOf course, I'm doing it everyday21:07
StatelessCattoday I was using Wifi on this phone21:07
Dragnell_public, not hidden wifi ?21:09
StatelessCatyeah21:09
StatelessCatI have around 10 wifi acces point in this building21:10
StatelessCatmaybe It's because I live in France, a Channel issue ?21:10
StatelessCatin France we uses some channels that are not the same as in USA...21:11
StatelessCatOMG, after rebooting, I GOT WIFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII21:11
Dragnell_I live in cuba so, i don't think that is the issie21:11
Dragnell_haha21:11
Dragnell_glad to know21:11
* StatelessCat *hugs* Dragnell_, dobey21:11

dobeycool21:12
StatelessCat"did you try turning it off and on again" ? ^^21:12
Dragnell_StatelessCat: haha you know21:13
dobeyStatelessCat: you don't technically need ubuntu do develop apps for the phone, but we don't build the sdk and runtims for platforms other than ubuntu21:13
dobeyStatelessCat: it's certainly possible to compile all the bits on other distros, though21:13
StatelessCat23:13:28    dobey | StatelessCat: you don't technically need ubuntu do develop apps for the phone, but we don't build the sdk and runtims for platforms other than ubuntu21:14
StatelessCatbut without the SDK... I just can write source code in vim ^^21:14
dobeywell you will need the tools to build the package and such21:14
StatelessCatthat's is not what I call to can developp on smartphone. But I understand21:15
dobeyand you should build your app inside a chroot of the target version of the phone you're building for21:15
dobeyyou can build the SDK on another distro if you want :)21:15
StatelessCatdobey | and you should build your app inside a chroot of the target version of the phone you're building for --> not sure to understand21:15
dobeyfwiw, the "sdk" is mostly a plug-in for qtcreator21:16
StatelessCatyou mean in a chroot of the phone ?21:16
dobeyStatelessCat: the sdk creates a container of the target version for building your app in, for example21:16
dobeyso not on the phone, but a chroot of the phone image, plus the supported -dev packages, so you can compile c++ or such21:17
dobeywe don't ship a compiler on the consumer phone image itself :)21:17
StatelessCat:)21:20
dobeyStatelessCat: another option to get started on another distro, would be to just create an lxc/chroot of a minimal ubuntu install, install the SDK and stuff in it, and run it from within there21:20
dobeyor in a vm too of course21:20
dobeythat's the easiest path at least. not sure how difficult building all the bits would be21:20
StatelessCatfor starting I will try on a Virtualbox or in a Docker. Do you think about exposing a docker image with all the sdk and stuff for compiling/building apps ?21:21
dobeyi personally don't, but i am not working on the sdk or any of that stuff.21:22
dobeyStatelessCat: the people in #ubuntu-app-devel might have better info on the sdk side of things, though :)21:22
StatelessCatthanks a lot :)21:22
StatelessCat"Import contact from Google" --> NICE STUFF !21:23
dobeyno problem.21:23
dobeyi have to go now, but good luck! :)21:23
