ogra_oSoMoN, dbarth, do you gys have plans to ever add a fullscreen button to the browser menu ?11:03
oSoMoNogra_, no plans, but feel free to file a bug to request the feature, it shouldn’t be hard to implement (there is already a keyboard shortcut that does that on devices with a keyboard)11:05
ogra_i just notice that i wouldnt have packaged many of my games if they would have been able to properly initiate fullscreen :)11:05

bkchrAnyone has an idea why my upstart doesn't create any log files in log/upstart?12:30
=== faenil is now known as faenil_
greybackbkchr: /var/log/upstart and ~/cache/upstart are where upstart logs usually12:37
greyback~/.cache/upstart12:38
bkchrgreyback: ahh okay, under ~/.cache/upstart there is something but nothing under /var/log/upstart, hmmm. http://pastebin.com/DkVJYktp any ideas why everything is crashing?12:43
greybackbkchr: define "everything" - it looks like ubuntu-location-service is in a crash loop though12:43
greybackyou've got a bunch of system services failing12:44
greybackbkchr: what image has you installed?12:45
greybackhave12:45
greybackeven your syslog service died. Which would explain the lack of logs12:46
bkchrgreyback: Hmm what image should I use? I'm new and I think I took the wrong -.-12:47
greybackbkchr: what device are you using?12:47
bkchrgreyback: Oneplus one, porting a kernel^^ Used the following image "ubuntu-.." image: http://system-image.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/devel/ubuntu/generic/index.json12:48
greybackbkchr: I'm not a porting expert. But I would recommend working on the "rc-proposed" (or "rc-stable") image instead of "devel"12:50

bkchrgreyback: So I should use one of these? http://system-image.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/rc/ubuntu/generic/index.json or should I use a rc-proposed?12:52
greybackbkchr: either is ok, rc-proposed changes daily, whereas stable moves very slowly (i'm not sure how often "rc" changes, not much looking at its history)12:54
jibelrc changes as often as stable12:57

TonyBostonis there any new way to sync with owncloud?14:29
bkchrogra_:  Hi, could you help with the adb daemon? I see in the kernel log that adb is started "adb_open", but my device isn't showing up at my PC. lsusb doesn't show anything. Added adb to /data/android-data/property/persist.sys.usb.config. Created the android-tools.override in /etc/init....14:29
ogra_if you already dont see it in lsusb there is a deeper prob than adb14:30
ogra_you should definitely see a connect event in dmesg when you plug it in and there should also be some entry in lsusb14:31
ogra_else i'd say the USB interface on  the phone side isnt up14:31
bkchrhow can I check if the usb interface is up?14:32
ogra_well, via lsusb and dmesg as i said14:32
ogra_for the phone side ... that depends on your device and how it handles that14:32
bkchrdmesg on my pc doesn't show any connect/disconnect. Yesterday I tried the same kernel, but with an older image14:32
bkchrand my adb was working :/14:33
ogra_well, i havent touched adb on phones in about a year now (and dont work on the phone anymore ) ... but i doubt anythin in the rootfs has changed in that regard14:34
bkchrhmm okay, but I think you're right that the problem isn't an adb problem, more an usb problem.14:36
bkchrogra_: I see "gadget: android_usb ready" in my kernel log. Maybe you have some hints, for what I could search?14:40

old_benzhey guys, I've checked out Ubuntu Touch following the "port to new dvices" guide17:14
old_benzI'm just very stupid, but where are the kernel sources?17:15
old_benzIt says on the developer page: You can find your kernel config at kernel/[manufacturer]/[codename]/arch/arm/configs/ cyanogenmod_[codename]_defconfig.17:17
old_benzI don't have a kernel folder though, in my ~/phablet folder17:17
ShihabHai17:26
old_benzI found this: git clone git://phablet.ubuntu.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_asus_grouper.git17:35
old_benzthat's for the 2012 Nexus 717:35
old_benzbut I don't see a similar repo for Nexus 7 2013 - flo17:35
old_benzany help guys?17:45
ogra_old_benz, the kernels for the suppported nexus devices are somewhere on kernel.ubuntu.com17:49
ogra_(and packaged as debs in the ubuntu archive)17:49
old_benzso they are not build alongside Ubuntu Touch?17:50
ogra_what would "build alongside ubuntu touch" mean now ?17:50
ogra_the images are built from deb packages17:51
old_benzI see17:51
old_benzI only found this: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ppisati/ubuntu-nexus7.git/17:52
ogra_you want to search for the codename ... i.e. flo17:52
=== dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader
old_benzdon't find anything with that search17:52
ogra_that branch is most likely from a few years ago when we tried desktop on the tablet17:53

ogra_ask in #ubuntu-kernel then ...17:53
ogra_note that all of the above only applies to the nexus images17:53
ogra_non-nexus devices usually build their kernel from the android tree directly17:54

old_benzsorry, all: do you know where I might be able to find the sources of the custom CWM recovery that Ubuntu Touch uses?21:09
old_benzalso, is it possible to install Ubuntu Touch without the custom recovery?  The kernel sources that "flo" is using are patched up to support this device.  The root of my problem is that the CWM recovery isn't able to mount any partitions21:11

ktatar156Hello21:58
ktatar156I've got a problem with flashing21:59
ktatar156paste.ubuntu.com/1243080021:59
ktatar156Last message from terminal was ~25 minutes22:00
ktatar156should I stop that by CTRL+C and do it again? Can that break device?22:00
mariogripktatar156: The script only pushes the tarballs to device, and the devices recovery will install the updates on the system. so it is save to stop and do it again.  (dont reboot the device if there is a spinning Ubuntu logo, that means that it's progressing the tarballs and edits the system)22:05
mariogripsafe*22:06
mariogripso, the script is safe to stop at any time.22:06
mcphailktatar156: I've had similar problems with a silently dropped adb connection22:07
mcphailktatar156: the channel flashing is certainly buggy22:07
mariogripYeah, a dropped adb connection will halt the script22:07
mariogriphalt/crash22:08
mcphailktatar156: I've had better results flashing from recovery, but I don't know if that was just good luck22:08
ktatar156Thanks. So I must just try and try?:)22:09
mcphailktatar156: yep :)22:10
mariogripmcphail: Should be the same, the script will just "fastboot boot recovery.img" any way.22:10
mcphailmariogrip: I've never had a dropped connection when flashing from recovery, though22:10
mariogripI dunno, but it *should* be the same, since it boots the same image22:11
mcphailmariogrip: yes, probably just luck22:11
mariogrip:)22:11
mcphailmariogrip: I did wonder whether there was a bug which makes the system drop adb connections, though22:12
ogra_the USB on the meizu is very picky in general22:12
ogra_thats a HW issue22:12
mcphailogra_: i have the bq22:13
ogra_if you have a device with USB 1.1 port, try that ...22:13
ogra_or an 1.1 hub you can put in the line22:13
ogra_that usually tames it22:13
ogra_mcphail, yeah, i was more commenting on the problem above22:13
ktatar156So, to get best result, I should use ubuntu-device-flash touch --wipe --channel=ubuntu-touch/stable/meizu.en --bootstrap --recovery-image=recovery.img in fastboot mode, yes? Or other command?22:15
ogra_if you use --botstrap you dont need --wipe22:16
mcphailktatar156: that will completely wipe the device22:16
ogra_*bootstrap22:16
ktatar156I want to delete as much as I can and reinstall all22:16
ogra_then --bootstrap is correct22:17
ktatar156without --wipe?22:17
mcphailktatar156: you don't need --wipe to wipe the device if flashing from fastboot with --bootstrap22:18
mcphail(--bootstrap was enough for a full wipe for me, anyway)22:18
ktatar156ok, thanks22:20
ktatar156But still I'm not lucky man, can't flash it... maybe because of using Ubuntu in virtual box...,22:20
mcphailktatar156: You're quite brave to be flashing a device from a virtual machine22:22
ktatar156Just can't make my arch working with that ubuntu-device-flash...22:25
ktatar156maybe phablet-tools? But how to use them - what command to flash with stable channell Meizu?22:28
