alan_ggreyback: I know it isn't your top priority (yet), but I'd like feedback on these questions before investing more time: https://code.launchpad.net/~alan-griffiths/mir/MirBlob/+merge/269949/comments/68282615:43

zzarrhello, is there a mir version of java?17:20
kdubzzarr, there arent mirclient api binding for java that I know of, although maybe a supported toolkit would have those bindings17:35
zzarrokey, but xmir+java for x should work17:36
kdubat that level, its more a question of whether X+java will work right, but sure :)17:38
zzarrI have a Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition, how do I install xmir?17:40
zzarrI run a stable release on it (OTA-6)17:42
anpokzzarr: well if you just want to test stuff you can make the system image writable and apt-get install xmir17:50
zzarrokey17:50
anpokbut I dont know whether the pixelformat issues were resolved yet17:50
anpokrobert_ancell who just left would know better17:50
zzarrhow do I test it?17:50
zzarrokey17:50
anpokyou would start an Xmir instanec with: Xmir :0 -damage -mirSocket /run/user/<id>/mir_socket -mirAppId app-dialer17:51
anpokoops17:52
anpoks/mirAppid/mir17:52
anpokand then launch an application with DISPLAY=:0 some_application17:52
zzarrokey, thanks :)17:52
=== dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader
anpokthen what could possibly happen .. since there is no x window manager involved you get odd looking windows (you could launch something like unity7 though.. )17:53
anpokand you application might try to access stuff that is not allowed in ubuntu touch17:53
zzarrokey17:54
zzarrcan I use a chrooted environment?17:54
anpokthere is also a project called libertine that does exactly that with a container17:54
anpokand ChrisTownsend and bregma work on that right now.17:54
zzarrnice17:54
bregmaXMir on the phones is still problematic:  color format support and stray GLX calls are some of the problems17:57
ogra_not to mention that it will trash your install :)17:58
anpokcolor format is a recurring issue17:58
ogra_(i.e. no proper upgrade mechanism after you installed debs ... needs re-flashing yadda yadda)17:58
zzarrin that case I'll skip it until it's fixed17:58
zzarrif it's not possible to run Xmir from a chroot (I think it's just a matter of bind mounting the correct file)18:00
anpoki would think so too18:03
anpokcairo on the phone has that color format issue too... we need a abgr support .. or was it bgra18:04
anpokand of course what ogra_  said..18:04
ogra_well, chroot might work. lxc container too ... (though i think you cant run lxc as user)18:05
zzarryes, sounds like what we need18:05
zzarrogra_, when's the next OTA?18:06
ogra_zzarr, no idea :)18:06
zzarrokey18:07
bregmausermode LXC won't work on the phone because it requires a much newer kernel18:08
zzarrokey, ogra_ if I change password, will that do something nasty to my pincode?18:09
ogra_you mean from cmdline ?18:09
zzarryes18:09
ogra_yeah, that would likely break ... you can switch the system to pw auth via the UI ... that should work then18:10
zzarrokey18:10
zzarror is there a better way to make a ssh login possible with password?18:10
ogra_the UI needs to know the auth method ... while the actual password db is used the UI wont give you the right input if you just change it underneath18:10
ogra_oh18:11
ogra_that wont work unless you hack the sshd setup18:11
ogra_it is hardcoded to key auth18:11
zzarrI can't change /etc/ssh/sshd_config ?18:11
ogra_that is readonly and gets reverted on upgrade ...18:12
zzarrokey18:12
ogra_we set the configs in the ssh.override upstart job (but that will also be reverted on upgrade if you change it)18:12
ogra_why not use a key ?18:12
ogra_thats a lot safer18:13
zzarrokey, how do I do that?18:13
ogra_https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys18:13
zzarrthanks18:13
zzarrI know I have asked before, but where's the wishlist for phone?18:18
