ThaurwylthGreetings, all. I'm right now pondering. I haven't bought anything yet, nor decided yet. Pondering. The thing is I plan to get a tablet with PC like harware, ie not ARM, but PC like as I said. And then I'd try to make it Ubuntu dual or Ubuntu exclusive. I sort of know that this is possible. Is it wiser to get a Windows tablet for this or Android?08:39
Stanley00Thaurwylth: You cannot flash ubuntu to device not running android, IIRC08:42
ThaurwylthIs that indeed the case? Like, no Ubuntu on Windows phones? Whoa!08:42
Stanley00Thaurwylth: to be correct, "you can not flash ubuntu touch", someone already flashed ubuntu desktop to surface08:44
ogra_Thaurwylth, you can try one of the desktop-next images ... but most of the backend stuff (i.e. everything talking to hardware) wont be able to make use of your hardware with that08:45
ThaurwylthYeah, I guess I get a rather big screen tablet with fast processor and lots of space etc, so running the desktop version wouldn't be an issue I guess. And I don't really like touch screens either. Although I think I hear there's a caveat...08:46
ogra_(wifi, sound and graphics might work, BT, GPS and sensors most likely wont)08:46
ThaurwylthI mean with booting and not having a touch screen available - can this always be surpassed by having a USB keyboard?08:48
ogra_if you use the desktop-next with keyboard and mouse it turns into a desktop UI (otherwise it is the same as on the phone and tablets)08:49
ThaurwylthYeah, and this wouldn't cause problems with GRUB or anything? I mean getting GRUB to respond to a USB keyboard. Or mouse, in case you ever need mouse for anything on GRUB.08:51
ThaurwylthBecause the idea of dual boot kind of doesn't work unless you can input choices in GRUB.08:51
ogra_nah, that works today ... how else would you manage grub on a PC ?08:51
ThaurwylthSounds fair.08:51
ThaurwylthSo, did I now understand / gather correctly that only Ubuntu Touch has features that support touch screen?08:53
ogra_Thaurwylth, well, given that it is the default interface on phones ... make a guess ;)08:58
=== chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk
ThaurwylthFair enough.08:59
dhbikerogra_ what if i have asus transformer pad ? it should recognize the touchscreen right ?09:00
ogra_doesnt that use android ?09:00
ThaurwylthNow I found this http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/FAQ , is this still current, ie everything is up to date, right?09:00
dhbikerthe one i have is x8609:00
dhbikerwell... x64 but x86 bootloader... stupid09:01
ogra_and it runs windows ?09:01
dhbikeryes09:01
ogra_well, i guess it should (no guarantees indeed)09:01
dhbikerbootloader.. EFI09:01
dhbikermy bad09:01
dhbikerit's pretty good device for portability and stuff but windows is not my fav os09:02
ThaurwylthSo, is it still true that there is no X11 for Touch?09:03
dhbikerMir afaik.. i asked that few weeks ago09:04
guest42315Thaurwylth, xmir09:08
dhbiker== xwayland ? :D09:09
ThaurwylthOK, I'll use Google for that.09:09
ThaurwylthOK then... If Ubuntu is run on Android device from chroot, does this cause the Android to, I don't know, somehow running 'around' it or whatever, in a virtual machine style thingamajik? Especially does this cause additional CPU or memory consumption or bottlenecks?09:13
ogra_Thaurwylth, no09:13
ThaurwylthWohoo!09:14
ogra_it is the other way round ... it boots a normal ubuntu and before it needs to access any hardware it fires up a minimal android install (just enough to run the needed drivers and configure them) in an lxc container09:14
ThaurwylthGee, thanks. This is sort of good news.09:15
ThaurwylthHm, I was pretty sure that I might get a Windows tablet and run desktop Ubuntu installation, but now I actually might have to think this over again.09:15
ogra_on x86 installs that container might not be needed (depending on your hardware) ... but services try to talk to the container by default currently ... which is why i said some HW will likely not work09:16
ThaurwylthHow light APPROXIMATELY is Touch compared to the desktop version? I know this sounds like Xubuntu vs Lubuntu question and that there are no easy answers to that question. But approximately.09:18
ogra_well, not many things work in the desktop mode yet ... dont expect being able to use it as a full blown  desktop setup09:18
ThaurwylthHm, OK, I'll make a mental note on that.09:19
ogra_(by default you wont be able to run libreoffice or other desktop apps yet, that requires a lot of tinkering )09:19
ThaurwylthI see.09:20
ThaurwylthWell, anyways, thanks a lot, this has been very helpful.09:20

gihel_hi guys, does the new OTA6 fix the unity crashes ? I'm still waiting for it (bq 4.5)09:32

gihel_ogra_: and need to restart the phone09:42
ogra_did you file a bug ?09:42
ogra_usually the reports get closed if a fix gets released09:42
popeygihel_: is there a crash file in /var/crash?09:43
gihel_didn't file a bug09:43
gihel_I'm checking the logs09:43
gihel_can't find anything, I will check again just after a freeze, it happens once every couple of days10:05
gihel_I only have crash files for messaging app, location serviced, webapp conti10:07

gihel_and scoperunner that I don't ever use10:08
gihel_when the bug occurs, the screen is frozen, touchscreen is not responding, and I can only turn off the screen or restart the device10:15
morphisgihel_: does it come back after a while when you leave the screen on?10:18
gihel_morphis: as long as I waited, no10:19
morphishow long did you wait?10:19

mterryjgdx, do you know much about the hotspot work?14:01
jgdxmterry, what do you need?14:01
jgdxama14:02
mterryjgdx, :)14:02
mterryjgdx, I discovered today that there is a bug about how it shouldn't be enabled on mako'14:02
mterryjgdx, but I had already played with it on my mako over the weekend14:02
mterryjgdx, and I got into a state where I can't use wifi anymore14:02
mterryjgdx, all I ever see when enabling wifi is the name of my hotspot network14:02
mterryjgdx, even though it doesn't seem to be broadcasting14:02
jgdxmterry, that's new.14:03
mterryjgdx, maybe it's mako specific, in which case it's not so bad...14:03
mterryjgdx, how can I give you logs to help figure this out / help me reset state14:04
mterryjgdx, (because I can't figure out how to get out of this state via the UI)14:04
jgdxmterry, you can't turn off hotspot at all?14:05
mterryjgdx, well... the hotspot isn't running (as far as the UI goes).  But when I turn on wifi, the only item in the list is the name of the hotspot network I had set up14:06
mterryjgdx, and selecting it turns on hotspot functionality14:06
jgdxmterry, okay. Maybe PM me the /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<hotspot> file as well as the indicator network log (.cache/upstart/indicator…)14:07
jgdx(if sensitive)14:08
* mterry gets that14:09
jgdxmterry, this might very well be mako specific, since we know that wpa supplicant spins out of control at times. Might put the system in a weird state? Idk14:09
jgdxmterry, might need your syslog too. I wonder why urfkill wasn't running14:16
awe_jgdx, don't we prevent hotspot from being used on mako, or did we let that slide?14:21
jgdxawe_, it slid14:21
awe_sigh...14:21
awe_jgdx, also re: wpa_supplicant spinning out of control, the bug actually says this occurs on krillin, not mako.  As such, I re-assigned back to you14:22
awe_https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpasupplicant/+bug/142931414:22
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1429314 in wpasupplicant (Ubuntu) "Setting interface firmware on krillin causes wpa_supplicant process to freeze device" [High,Incomplete]14:22
jgdxawe_, re: that, I always have this one in mind: bug 143459114:23
ubot5bug 1434591 in network-manager (Ubuntu) "[mako] Cannot connect to a secure, shared "ap" hotspot" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/143459114:23
awe_mterry, if you're just lookinvg to restore your WiFi functionality, you should be able to just delete the hotspot connection from /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections14:24
awe_jgdx, k.  Can you close out the other bug then?14:24
jgdxawe_, done14:25
mterryawe_, OK, cool.  Not sure if I should get out of this state though, since maybe it's useful for debugging -- eh, jgdx?14:25
awe_mterry, well... in theory, the UI should never have let you enable hotspot14:26
jgdxmterry, I'll save it. Just delete the config files in system-connections for the hotspot and reboot14:26
jgdx(or using any other nm method)14:26

TonyBostonare we going to see an ubuntu touch update in the near future?14:44
mterryjgdx, deleting the connection files and rebooting did the trick -- I'm not stuck on the hotspot anymore14:45
pmcgowanTonyBoston, yes, it is being validated for BQ right now14:45
jgdxmterry, great14:46
TonyBostonpmcgowan, thanks, thats good since I own a bq14:46
pmcgowanTonyBoston, should see it Wed if all goes well14:47
TonyBostonpmcgowan, its kind of hard to get into developing with ubuntu touch, where can I start?14:47
TonyBostonat least with bug reporting14:47
TonyBostonplus, I don't have an Ubuntu machine14:47
TonyBostonfedora or freebsd here14:47
pmcgowanyeah developing mostly requires ubuntu although some have done so on fedora14:48
pmcgowanthere is http://developer.ubuntu.com/14:48
TonyBostonpmcgowan, can I read about changes in the next version? as its almost unusable sometimes14:49

TonyBostonpmcgowan, I guess you just have the problem here14:56
TonyBostonlike you gave me like 4 links with different addresses14:56
TonyBostonif the whole thing would be at one place, be much easier I guess14:56
pmcgowanTonyBoston, fair point14:56
TonyBostonthats what I always felt bad about14:56
mandelkenvandine, nessita in #u1-internal should be looking into that14:57
kenvandinei'd just feel better if the bug was assigned :)14:57
kenvandinemandel, so i tested those fixes again and i'm still annoyed that we even present the app updates14:58
kenvandineso on friday i hacked it to clear them out of the model14:58
TonyBostonpmcgowan, one big issue is when I leave home wifi, it renders the phone almost unusable since I guess its searching for the wifi. takes like 2mins to get back to normal and realise that wifi is gone14:58
TonyBostondunno if that has already been reported14:58
kenvandinemandel, which works, but the UI is wonky14:58
kenvandinemandel, like if there are a bunch of app updates, the login button is off screen14:59
mandelkenvandine, can I see the changes, what did you do?14:59
mandelugh.. feo14:59
kenvandinethat's why i removed them14:59
mandelkenvandine, we need to get that 401, lets bully them14:59
kenvandineright14:59
kenvandinethere's no better solution14:59
kenvandinemandel, basically i'd like to push to just land it without my hack to clear them out of the model15:01
kenvandinebecause at least then we know we're doing the right thing15:01
kenvandinei just want the 401 before ota7 ships15:01
celliowas wondering if using apt could break the OS during an update?15:37
beunocellio, indeed, once you use apt system updates will likely break15:38
dhbikeri installed htop15:38
celliothanks beuno i guess i will not use it for the time being untill i get more experience15:38
dhbikerstill works :D15:39
cellioalso trying to find out of the ubuntu edition of the meizu mx4 is unlocked?15:39
beunodhbiker, hence the "likely", not "for sure"  :)15:40
dhbikeryeah ofc15:40
dhbikerdepends on what you install too15:40
beunocellio, not sure, I would assume it is. What do you mean by unlocked, though?15:40
dhbikerprobably root15:40
celliowell if something breaks i want to know if i would be able to reinstall the OS15:41
ogra_cellio, it is fully hackable and you can re-flash it at any time15:41
dhbikerogra_ but do you approve hacks ? :D15:41
ogra_(ubuntu that is, android would need a different partitioning scheme and a different flash tool)15:41
celliothanks ogra, thats good news!15:41
ogra_dhbiker, for people that are aware that they might need to re-flash after breaking everything (and that know how) i surely approve it :)15:42
dhbikeralso ogra_ i have a ton of crash reports in /var/crash ...15:43
dhbikerdo i report them or not ? :D15:43
ogra_well, your system should have reported them for you already15:43
cellioawaiting my meizu mx4 with ubuntu that i ordered last week, will get it tommorow :)15:43
ogra_there is an option in the privacy settings of system-settings that allows you to look at them ("former reports" or some such)15:43
dhbikerjust wanted to say that... depends on the settings15:44
ogra_if you can actually nail such a crash to a certain packag you should file a bug and link to the crash report15:44

kenvandinei want to confirm that the qtmir bug was really fixed, it should be triggering quit to be called when swiped away17:19
kenvandineit wasn't before, but that branch i linked about should have fixed that and it was merged17:19
kenvandineactually it was in qtubuntu17:19
kenvandinebasically it's the window manager closing the widnow17:20
kenvandinewindow17:20
kenvandinewhich qt should ensure quit is called for17:20
kenvandinebefore it was killing the process17:20
kenvandinezsombi_, so state should always be getting saved on deactivate, but only restored when the app was killed by the OOM killer17:21
kenvandinenot if the app was closed properly17:21
kenvandinebfiller, ^^ right?17:21
kenvandinebefore we couldn't tell the difference, but now it should be quit gracefully, so that should wipe out the state17:22
bfillerkenvandine: I just know that it should only be restored if it was killed by OOM killer, when and where it's actually saved I don't know17:23
kenvandinei think the only way to handle that is to clear the saved state on quit17:23
kenvandineso if the app closes gracefully, wipe out the state17:23
bfillerkenvandine: makes sense17:23
kenvandineotherwise you can assume it was killed17:24
