Hawk_QOpenGLShader::link: "--From Vertex Shader: Error: Symbol textured defined with different precision in vertex and fragment shaders.04:27
Hawk_any idea what could cause this in unity log?04:27
Hawk_icons not showing in dash and app scope04:27
RAOFHawk_: That's a GL error; specifically, it seems that QOpenGLShader is constructing a with mismatching precision on one of its shaders.04:41
RAOFSince it seems you've got this problem after a driver update, it might be that the driver is now being more picky, or that QOpenGLShader isn't specifying the precisions and the driver has changed defaults.04:42
Hawk_i am try a port on xperia L04:47
Hawk_its not an update issue04:48
Hawk_can a particular fussy app cause this?04:48
RAOFHawk_: It's not an app being fussy; it's your graphics drivers.04:50

dufluDid we recently release changes to touch/gesture logic?08:54
dufluOr is just my mako broken?08:54
=== danilos` is now known as danilos
duflugreyback, Saviq: Did we just change anything to do with gesture recognition? My mako is suddenly quite erratic. Can't notice edge swipes properly even08:57
Saviqduflu, did not, but there's a bug about mako, its input area manages to grow outside of the phone somehow08:58
Saviqbug #140826308:58
ubot5bug 1408263 in android (Ubuntu) "Edge gestures still get lost (mako)" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/140826308:58
Saviqany chance that's that?08:58
dufluSaviq: A bit different. I need to rule out pure Mir first...08:59
Saviqduflu, you guys working on wily, right?09:00
dufluSaviq: yes09:00
Saviqthere's likely not enough attention being paid to wily09:00
Saviqvivid+overlay is still our main target09:00
dufluSaviq: Nevermind. My touchscreen is screwed. Even with pure Mir demos.09:02
Saviqkk09:02
dufluIt works slightly and intermittently09:02
anpok_Saviq: while testing silo-014 I experienced some odd stuff in camera09:02
anpok_-app.09:02
Saviqanpok_, oh?09:02
anpok_photos looked fine, but video at first did not take up the whole screen09:03
anpok_it first seemed like it would leave an area untouched for the small preferences tool bar..09:04
dufluWhy must there still be so many variables?09:04
anpok_but it also made a low resolution video..09:04
dufluSo many different bugs need fixing simultaneously09:04
anpok_after a restart of camera-app it worked normally..09:04
Saviqanpok_, doesn't seem like anything we (mir or unity8) have control over09:05
anpok_other than that mako / silo-014 on image 232 worked fine09:05
Saviqanpok_, I just tried on mako/wily and indeed the video played back had maybe some 2-3% blank edge09:06
Saviqmore on the longer edges than the short edge09:06
anpok_it seems to depend on the system rotation during start..09:06
Saviqoh, that might be indeed09:06
* Saviq tries09:07
anpok_but i cannot reproduce the issue anymore.. the space just seemed to match the difference height/width between09:07
=== diplo_ is now known as diplo
Saviqanpok_, everything seems fine here, too, I can only notice some margins in the camera app, video is HD09:11
dufluGoodbye mako.09:12
Saviqanpok_, maybe you somehow got into a lower res recording mdoe09:12
Saviqduflu, that bad?09:12
dufluSaviq: It's low level, maybe kernel or hardware. I need to try reflashing09:12
dufluTouches go missing a lot (visible in fingerpaint and target too)09:13
dufluThe same device has been fine for quite a while. I only updated over the air today09:13
=== chriadam is now known as chriadam|away
Saviqanpok_, I can easily get the camera app confused by changing video resolution and toggling between front/back camera, there's a lot of stretched images and such09:14

duflugreyback, Saviq: I've noticed (especially on wily) that the welcome wizard is exhibiting Apple/Lollipop level scrolling smoothness (when selecting language). What's so different about the wizard that makes it fantastically smooth?09:38
greybackduflu: it runs as part of the shell09:39
duflugreyback: Ah, yes.09:39
greybackduflu: am looking forward to your qtmir smoothness patch! :)09:40
guest42315me209:40
duflugreyback: Annoyingly I'm losing count of the number of fixes that have to all work together09:40
dufluBut we're getting there09:40
greybackduflu: is there an obvious way we can measure the improvement, aside from fps?09:41
duflugreyback: Try flashing a device with wily. The welcome wizard's responsiveness really is far ahead of everything else09:41
greybackbuffer acquire/release times09:41
duflugreyback: The Mir client perf report also mentions number of unique buffers (and the queue cycle latency)09:42
duflugreyback: Also, just landed: Mir's latency acceptance test now works and gives proper latency numbers09:43
duflu(coming in 0.16)09:43
greybackduflu: ok. I would like to aim towards gathering numbers on these things, with the goal to ensure we don't regress09:43
duflugreyback: It's actually enforced in CI now. Latency must be in a strict range or failure09:44
dufluThat's not really new, but the test now works as of today09:44
greybackduflu: in mir's perhaps :) I wants me the same in qtmir!09:45
duflugreyback: You know what I was working on in QtMir was actually just smoothness. If it goes well, that will allow Mir's latency improvements but I fear we're also waiting on some GL optimizations (like making the dash consistently quicker to render)09:46
duflugreyback: When do you use wakelocks, btw? Do you have any numbers on their benefit?09:56
greybackduflu: wavelock only grabbed when app running and in foreground09:57
duflugreyback: For the duration of the app?09:58
dufluI thought wakelocks automatically expire so have to be acquired for only short, or regular periods. But could be wrong09:59
greybackduflu: no, they're acquired and released by qtmir. they don't time out09:59
duflugreyback: In that case they're either ineffectual or we're holding them wrong... https://bugs.launchpad.net/qtmir/+bug/148838610:00
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1488386 in qtmir (Ubuntu) "[performance] Double buffering is only smooth while you're touching it" [Undecided,New]10:00
greybackduflu: then it's not related to wakelocks. Wakelock is held while app running and in the foreground.10:01
greybackuse "power-cli list" to check10:02
greybackpowerd-cli10:02
duflugreyback: Right, we may well be using them correctly, but they're still not helping us10:02
greybackduflu: they do prevent cpu dropping to low power mode, keeping system a bit more responsive10:03
duflugreyback: Hmm, OK, I guess it could always be worse. My observations are that the scaling and frequency governors are not affected by them then...10:05
dufluAt least not sufficiently. Not as much as just touching the screen10:05
greybackmust be something else at work so10:05

ThaurwylthAre SD storages a bottleneck compared to traditional HD's? Let's say I create a new partition on a Windows laptop with Ubu desktop installation for dual boot. Or my Android device has little native disk space so I add more storage and put part of Ubuntu Touch there. Or whatever. Is this going to severely affect performance?14:27
mcphailThaurwylth: I used to do this with my old Nexus One. It was slower, and was at the borderline of annoyance.14:29

ThaurwylthOK, I'll take your word for it. Are there in general benchmarks for SD speed somewhere? I guess traditional HDD speeds are pretty well behaved.14:38

mcphailStill getting frequent lags on current OTA, with "top" showing dbus-daemon consuming up to 99% of CPU. dbus-monitor has lots of entries with "INTERFACE=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager/AccessPoint/variousnumbers". Most lags happen at work, and may be related to poor 3G signal, I suppose. Any way I can debug this further without access to a decent computer with adb etc?15:18

coinHi. I asked myself why there is (to my knowledge) no application on mako that uses the compass. Looking at /sys, I can't find the magnetometer, which is, according to the Nexus 4 spec, an AK8964, nor the gyroscope/accelerometer, which is a MPU-6050. Looking at the code source of vivid-mako, I see that it contains a code for the magnetometer for AK8975, and not AK8963. Why ? And why the compass seems not to be accessible for applica19:01
cointions ? Any idea ?19:01
dhbikerjgdx, where do i report that ?19:03
jgdxdhbiker, it sounds like pulse, but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe file it against canonical-system-image? https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+filebug19:04
popeycoin: does the sensor status app not have a compass entry?19:12
rschrollQuestion on app review: How long show I expect to wait for a manual review of an app that failed the automated review?19:15
dhbikerty jgdx19:17
popeyrschroll: let me take a look.19:18
coinpopey, yes, that is the point: It says that no datas are available for gyroscope and compass (and all others, except GPS and accelerometer).19:18
coinBut the nexus 4 seems to have a gyroscope and an accelerometer.19:18
rschrollpopey: click app #3405, if you want to see why I'm asking.19:18
popeyrschroll: ah, one for jdstrand who is on vacation today I suspect.19:18
