[02:20] <liuxg> how to install "Ubuntu.Components" version 1.3  on vivid desktop？
[06:41] <dholbach> good morning
[08:25] <mcphail> ogra_: You've talked about writing apps which directly use EGL, bypassing Mir altogether. Is that possible/sensible? I'm working on a port of the Godot games engine and am just about to get to the guts of all of this
[08:26] <ogra_> mcphail, i'm not sure what access confinement allows you to libGLES and libEGL ...
[08:26] <mcphail> aah - good point
[08:26] <ogra_> i guess that would need to be tested :)
[08:26] <ogra_> if you can reach them, sure, you should be able to directly use GLES
[08:27] <mcphail> ogra_: I'll try the Mir convenience functions first, then. I know they are supposed to work from confinement
[08:27] <ogra_> yeah, Mir as SDL2 should just work
[08:28] <mcphail> ogra_: unfortunately, SDL2 isn't used here so I'm writing from scratch
[08:29] <mcphail> ogra_: Using libraries I don't understand, employing abstraction layers I don't understand, in a language I don't understand :)
[08:29] <ogra_> yay
[08:30] <ogra_> steep learning curve
[08:30] <mcphail> Success is guaranteed
[08:30] <ogra_> definitely :)
[09:24]  * thepeter has up to date ubuntu on PC with SDK ubuntu on phone in developers mode and now it's time for to get started using these gadgets 
[11:53] <Elleo> nik90: sorry, I was away on holiday; are the podbird stats still of any use to you?
[12:27] <nik90> Elleo: no problem, I was just curious to know. looking forward to the new release.
[12:29] <Elleo> nik90: ah right, well we're up to 2987 users now, with 4525 total downloads (2989 downloads for version 0.6, so most users have probably upgraded and continued using it, which is nice)
[12:30] <Elleo> nik90: I'm hoping to get the last few branches reviewed and merged this weekend, then will put out a call for translation updates if there are any new strings and release a few days after that
[12:31] <nik90> Elleo: There are a few string changes in the last few branches. A call for translations will be necessary.
[12:31] <Elleo> nik90: okay
[12:32] <nik90> Elleo: If possible, try to reduce the aggresiveness of the on start check for new episodes to only once per day. It seems to be the most requested by users.
[12:32] <nik90> Should be a one-liner change since we kinda of do it for episode cleanup script.
[12:32] <Elleo> sure thing
[12:36] <byte_> hello there! just a new ubuntu phone user :)
[12:36] <popey> hi
[12:58] <davidcalle_> Awesomeness with "import Ubuntu.Thumbnailer 0.1" -> http://i.imgur.com/FWIDJQt.png
[13:00] <nik90> davidcalle_: What is the advantage of Ubuntu Thumbnailer over manually setting the UbuntuShape source to the image url?
[13:00] <nik90> davidcalle: Does it help improve the loading behavior, memory usage and such?
[13:01] <davidcalle> nik90, advantage is: you don't need an actual image source, it thumbnails local tracks, videos, and allows you to request album and artist art over the network at specific sizes.
[13:02] <nik90> davidcalle: ooh...so I could just provide it with a local podcast and have it fetch the thumbnail automatically. That's nice
[13:03] <davidcalle> nik90, the example above is simply Image items with the source indicated on the side
[14:26] <ahayzen> davidcalle, nik90, we use the thumbnailer in music for all cover art fwiw :-)
[15:49] <nemo> hm... and a few weeks later...
[15:49] <nemo> mcphail: any news? ☺
[19:57] <popey> nik90: boo
[20:03]  * popey waves
[20:04] <xpheres> hello
[20:04] <xpheres> is the ubuntu touch emulator working?
[20:04] <popey> good question.
[20:05] <popey> boo
[20:05] <xpheres> I guess not yet
[20:05] <popey> i saw mention of it being better now
[20:05] <nik90> popey: yay that worked :)
[20:05] <popey> not tried recently
[20:05] <popey> yay nik90
[20:05] <xpheres> I started an app and I can not see the real results
[20:33] <CaptainHeavy> I read a snippet regarding album art in the Music core app earlier, is there a way to tell the app to fetch an image for an artist?
[20:33] <CaptainHeavy> Its not essential its just that I'm a little OCD when it comes to my music collection!
[20:34] <CaptainHeavy> Alternatively, can you set an artist's image?
[23:05]  * ahoneybun 's app has hit the 3000 range
[23:05] <ahoneybun> lol
