[03:57] <Hawk_> like to try out the newer version of mir in ubuntu touch
[03:57] <Hawk_> can I just installed related debs?
[03:57] <Hawk_> such as https://launchpad.net/~mir-team/+archive/ubuntu/staging/+build/7842048
[03:58] <Hawk_> doing a port of sony xperia L
[03:58] <Hawk_> there is some opengl error. icons are missing
[03:58] <Hawk_> wily seem to be packaged with mir 0.14?
[04:03] <duflu> Hawk_: wily images with Mir 0.15 do exist. They are called the 'devel-proposed' channel
[04:04] <duflu> Technically mixing debs with the touch images is unsupported and can break things. Although we rely on such hacks for testing things
[04:04] <Hawk_> just want to test out
[04:04] <duflu> Yeah, we all install debs, so that's fine. Just don't expect your debs to still be correct after over-the-air updates
[04:05] <Hawk_> :(
[04:05] <Hawk_> wont have over the air updates
[04:05] <Hawk_> this is a xperia L porting
[04:06] <Hawk_> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/current/
[04:06] <Hawk_> is this the image for the devel-proposed branch?
[04:06] <duflu> Hawk_: No problem then. Also if you run out of space:   http://askubuntu.com/a/660886/439189
[04:07] <Hawk_> thanks for the head up on the space. yeah 2GB is running tight it seem
[04:08] <duflu> Hawk_: To get the latest, you should ideally put the phone in fastboot mode. Then:   ubuntu-device-flash touch --bootstrap --developer-mode --channel=devel-proposed
[04:08] <Hawk_> probably wont need 6GB though
[04:08] <duflu> Hawk_: It's shared space (thanks to sparse filesystems). It won't use the space until you actually use the space
[04:08] <Hawk_> I dont have the luxury of ubuntu-device-flash
[04:08] <duflu> Yeah fair point
[04:09] <Hawk_> i am trying to do a porting
[04:09] <Hawk_> fixing opengl issue is out of my league
[04:10] <Hawk_> just trying out any option that might help with the issue
[04:10] <duflu> Hawk_: Actually you probably won't ever need to do OpenGL. It's just all operating system hacking
[04:10] <Hawk_> guess not. thats the reason I would like to try newer version of mir
[04:11] <Hawk_> CM kernel for xperia L totally killed the gralloc hal
[04:11] <Hawk_> causing reboot
[04:12] <Hawk_> AOSP kernel seem to work on most stuff
[04:14] <Hawk_> icons are not showing on dash and app scope
[04:14] <Hawk_> QOpenGLShader::link: "--From Vertex Shader: Error: Symbol textured defined with different precision in vertex and fragment shaders.
[04:15] <Hawk_> unity log have opengl errors
[06:11] <duflu> Hawk_: Sounds like a bug in the latest Unity8. Or a package mismatch. Either way, it's not really a device specific failure
[06:12] <duflu> Sometimes on the bleeding edge, you will bleed a bit
[06:19] <Hawk_> i got the same error for vivid and wily image
[06:19] <Hawk_> i am using the current image in both build
[06:20] <Hawk_> unfortunately, its not affecting the official buid so it might be be noticed or have patch available :(
[06:29] <duflu> Hawk_: The current wily *.img files are unfortunately not being well tested right now. The team is focusing on delivering for vivid-based devices for the moment
[06:30] <duflu> Although vivid should work
[06:30] <Hawk_> i was using vivid all the while
[06:30] <Hawk_> switch to wily to check if issue still exist
[06:30] <duflu> Hawk_: Yeah, let me find where that error is
[06:30] <Hawk_> duflu, need any log from my end?
[06:31] <duflu> Hawk_: Was there anything other than that link message?
[06:31] <Hawk_> there are many different precision in vertex and fragment shaders
[06:31] <Hawk_> I am listing one of those
[06:32] <Hawk_> dont have the device with me atm
[06:33] <Hawk_> in any case, i have never gotten the icons since my port
[06:33] <Hawk_> just for the record
[06:34] <Hawk_> so the opengl error and the missing icons might not be related?
[06:40] <duflu> Hawk_: Actually the toolkit (including icon display) is heavily dependent on OpenGL extensions and sensitive to platform changes
[06:40] <duflu> More than you'd think
[06:41] <duflu> Hawk_: Can you please document the issue here so the relevant people will see it?... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+filebug
[06:42] <duflu> Heh.
[06:42]  * duflu waives to Saviq on that note
[06:42] <duflu> waves
[06:45] <Hawk_> u think its an issue worth logging?
[06:45] <Hawk_> and not due to porting?
[06:48] <duflu> Hawk_: Doesn't matter if it's a mistake of your own making or ours. Logging a bug is a nice formal way to figure out which is true
[06:48] <Hawk_> ok, will do it later when i have the device with me.
