Joey_BellowsIs the Galaxy Tab 4 compatible with Ubuntu touch? I am trying to set up my Tab 4 with it but cant find a definite answer01:49
lotuspsychje!devices | Joey_Bellows01:50
ubot5Joey_Bellows: You can find the full list of devices, official images, community images, and works in progress at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices01:50
lotuspsychjeJoey_Bellows: check also the XDA forums for existing projects for your device01:50
Joey_Bellowslotuspsychje, I dont see an official or unofficial port for my Tab 401:51
lotuspsychjeJoey_Bellows: im not sure if one exist mate, idle here a bit to hear advice from the devs01:52
Joey_Bellowslotuspsychje, I hope one is on so I can ask, I want to test it out and if it is as good as I hope I would go full ubuntu01:53
Joey_Bellowswell on mobile devices I am on Debian for my laptop OS for now01:53
lotuspsychjeJoey_Bellows: you can always follow the porting guide here in 'topic'01:54
lotuspsychjeJoey_Bellows: and i reccomend ubuntu on your laptop also :p01:54
Joey_Bellowslotuspsychje, I was on Ubuntu, playing with Debian for a while, want to learn from an OS that wont hold my hand as much lol01:55
Joey_Bellowslotuspsychje, the porting could be a fun project except I have 0 dev experience but I might have ot hop in and try anyway01:56
lotuspsychjeme neither mate01:56
lotuspsychjeJoey_Bellows: talk to the devs, maybe they know more?01:56
Joey_Bellowslotuspsychje, they definitely would but im not sure how much they can or will be willing to share01:57
Stanley00Joey_Bellows: well, I wouldn't recommend you try ubuntu then, ubuntu-touch is *just work* right now. In daily usage, it's kind of limited01:58
Joey_BellowsStanley00, I would still like to try it just to get a feel for it01:58
Joey_BellowsStanley00, I read a review on the Ubuntu phone and from what I read the experience was quite nice01:59
Stanley00Joey_Bellows: yeah, I love my ubuntu phone. Performance is great, but the UX is not so good, so you will feel like it's slow02:01
Joey_BellowsStanley00, Im not too worried about that, I dont use my tablet as much as my phone and I just want away from the big 3, Apple Microsoft and Google02:02
Stanley00Joey_Bellows: and, the notification is very limited right now, all notifications I can get are from gmail, sms, phone call, and system update.02:02
ahoneybuntwitter as well02:02
Joey_BellowsStanley00, im not particularly worried about it being rough around the edges I just want my data away from the big 3, also are you in EU? I didnt think the Ubuntu phone was in the states?02:05
Joey_Bellowsahoneybun, I dont really tweet but I do read stuff on twitter so that would be nice02:06
Stanley00Joey_Bellows: I've searched the web, looks like you have to port ubuntu-touch by yourself :(02:06
Joey_BellowsStanley00, time to craft myself a dev hat and toss it on lol02:06
Stanley00Joey_Bellows: well, I'm not from EU. But I have a trip there when BQ sell the E5. Lucky me :302:07
Joey_Bellowsalthough maybe it isnt as bad as I think02:07
ahoneybunit's nice02:07
Joey_BellowsStanley00, you are lucky as hell02:07
ahoneybunJoey_Bellows: http://usefoss.com/index.php/2015/09/16/converting-to-ubuntu-touch/02:07
Stanley00Joey_Bellows: But I heard that BQ had plan to sell BQ world wide. You can buy one, but it won't support 4G network.02:07
Joey_Bellowsyou too if you have it ahoneybun02:08
ahoneybunJoey_Bellows: well I have the Nexus 402:08
Joey_Bellowsahoneybun, well you can still pop Ubuntu on it, my S6 I didnt see in the list02:09
ahoneybunJoey_Bellows: I have it on it thats how I know about twitter02:09
ahoneybunthe S6 is still rather new02:09
Joey_Bellowsahoneybun, I wish I would not have gotten it, for reasons other than not being ubuntu compatible02:10
ahoneybunthe Nexus 4 is the best device in the US atm02:10
ahoneybunmm02:11
ahoneybunI was looking at a Note 5 myself02:11
Joey_Bellowsahoneybun, I wish Samsung hadnt taken the removable battery and SD slot out thats my main problem, shit battery life02:17
ahoneybunyea02:17
Joey_Bellowsahoneybun, my S6 is terrible compared to my old G302:19
ahoneybunmm02:19
ahoneybunthat's sad to hear02:19
ahoneybunmy OnePlus One has been getting weird life02:19
ahoneybunI'm thinking its the ROM02:20
Joey_Bellowsahoneybun, I havent rooted my S6, if I do samsung pay is gone and that might be useful02:21
Joey_Bellowsdamn KNOX02:21
ahoneybunyea HTC was a bit weird to work with at well02:22
ahoneybunI hear from some people Android Pay is killed by root but Google Wallet works fine02:22
ahoneybuntill I get update maybe02:22
Joey_Bellowsahoneybun, there is a way to root without tripping KNOX by using a Dev/Testing ROM then the custom one but I havent tried and idk if its been patched02:23
ahoneybunso many bridges to cross to make it worth it02:24
Joey_Bellowsahoneybun, yep its a pain in the ass to Root02:25
Joey_BellowsI might do it anyway02:25
ahoneybunJoey_Bellows: the CoC applies in here02:25
Joey_Bellowsif only I could root with Touch -___-02:26

stakewinner00how can i reduce ram usage? 591M when I only opened a terminal seems to much for a phone. In fact my computer are using 150M now...11:07
mcphailstakewinner00: this is linux... Unused RAM is wasted RAM. Have you been having problems running out of memory?11:08
=== marcusto_ is now known as marcustomlinson
stakewinner00mcphail, then, why not use the 100% of RAM for the OS?11:13
mcphailstakewinner00: mine is using 100%...11:14
mcphail(and usually does)11:15
stakewinner00mcphail, the phone slows down if i open some apps in the same time,11:16
stakewinner00if the OS are consuming 50% of the RAM, the apps can only use 50% of the RAM11:16
stakewinner00My computer if i close everithing consume 120M aprox, 5 GB of RAM can be used for programs like firefox, virtualbox, etc.11:18
jgdxstakewinner00, I don't think this discussion can lead anywhere. Either hope that someone in here are linux memory allocation experts and can chime in, or read up on it.11:22
mcphailstakewinner00: If your phone is slowing down because you have a few apps open, that is a bug11:23
mcphailstakewinner00: backgrounded apps should be in a suspended or stopped state, ready to be killed if memory is exhausted11:24
mcphailstakewinner00: something like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1480877 would be a more usual cause of lag11:25

stakewinner00i opened 7 or 8 apps and don't responds lol i'll restart the phone...11:51
stakewinner00mcphail, but background apps will consum swap space too, and if you opened multiple apps the memory can be exhausted11:53
popeymcphail: yes, and the kernel takes care of that11:54

jgdxElleo, morning, is this implementable currently? Bug 146520212:20
ubot5bug 1465202 in ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu) ""Spell checking" screen is missing" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/146520212:20
jgdxElleo, … or do we need new functionality in ukeyboard?12:22
Elleojgdx: custom words could potentially be implemented, I'm not sure about the language selection stuff though, currently we tie that to the layout and the last time it was discussed people were against separating them12:26
Elleojgdx: although really we don't have proper spellchecking as I think those designs expect12:26
Elleojgdx: currently the spellchecking tick box only relates to checking of the current word being typed, whereas I think the design expects it to be actual spell checking of all the input (but we need better support in Qt for that)12:26
jgdxElleo, okay. Now it appears as this is just a matter of “fixing” System Settings. When you have time, could you refresh that bug a little, so it reflects reality?12:28
Elleojgdx: custom words just needs to edit the relevant language file in ~/.local/share/maliit-server/ (e.g. en_userDictionary.dic) for custom English words (just a plain list)12:28
