| bee_keeper | hey, am thinking of getting ubuntu-touch, will i see loads of annoying ads built into it like android? I dont want to buy music, vids and all that crap from my phone | 11:30 |
|---|---|---|
| ogra_ | no, you wont ... | 11:31 |
| ogra_ | there are options to buy music or videos (many people actually seem to do that) but you dont have to use them and there are no ads | 11:34 |
| bee_keeper | am ashamed to say i only found about this today, i saw an announcement ages ago but didn't realise it's avalable now.. | 11:34 |
| bee_keeper | android is so commercial, it's sickening. worse than apple | 11:34 |
| bee_keeper | i just want real control of my phone OS | 11:34 |
| ogra_ | the curse of success :) | 11:34 |
| bee_keeper | Is it possible to run android apps on the ubuntu-touch? | 12:11 |
| tathhu | no | 12:14 |
| JanC | bee_keeper: you can browse/search available apps on https://uappexplorer.com/ | 12:21 |
| bee_keeper | Thanks for the answers, just bought the BQ Aquaris E4.5 | 12:53 |
| ogra_ | bee_keeper, congrats ! | 13:02 |
| jgdx | bee_keeper, \o/ | 13:07 |
| bee_keeper | Yep it looks like it's a long way from being perfect but it's definitely worthy of support | 13:10 |
| ogra_ | it really depends on your needs, for me it is a proper day to day device ... but i mainly use G+, am fine with telegram instead of whatsapp and never really tied myself to any android apps before | 13:12 |
| jgdx | Been using it as a daily driver for 1.2 years, and it is an amazing thing–IF you can refrain from comparing it to iPhone and Android. | 13:26 |
| bee_keeper | Thing is android is hardly bug free. I just had a Z3 and it was rubbish plus 3x the price | 13:27 |
| ogra_ | i have to compare it at times (when helping my GF with her android phone) and i always go mad with android (the "back" action makes me crazy and i'm always trying to swipe) | 13:27 |
| bee_keeper | Anyway, gotta dash. thanks again | 13:28 |
| jgdx | was thinking about the comparison of ecosystems, but also comparisons of the ethics with which Canonical, Apple and Google operate. | 13:31 |
| jgdx | but yeah, bugs too | 13:32 |

| fuzzy7k | Hi all, I'm trying to port a new device, ls970 | 18:11 |
| fuzzy7k | I have recovery and boot images flashed, both still work | 18:11 |
| fuzzy7k | but when I run rootstock-touch-install, I get nothing. adb & fastboot see nothing. | 18:12 |
| fuzzy7k | where do I go from here? | 18:12 |
| tripleclones | amazing how joining a channel generally helps me realise solution whilst typing the question :) | 19:15 |
| tripleclones | so hi all, no help needed (yet) | 19:16 |

| nhaines | tripleclones: haha, that's called rubber duck debugging! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging | 20:19 |
| fuzzy7k | Why does the build process download files? | 21:33 |
| fuzzy7k | Second, why does it fail when it can't find the server? | 21:34 |
| fuzzy7k | Third, why doen't it use the file that it just downloaded two minutes ago? | 21:34 |
| fuzzy7k | raise ServerNotFoundError("Unable to find the server at %s" % conn.host) | 21:35 |
| fuzzy7k | httplib2.ServerNotFoundError: Unable to find the server at api.launchpad.net | 21:35 |
| fuzzy7k | make: *** [/home/xs/optimus-ub/out/target/product/ls970/ramdisk.img] Error 1 | 21:36 |
| nhaines | Why does the build process fail if it cannot download the files it needs from the server it can't find? | 21:45 |
| fuzzy7k | it just downloaded them previously | 21:48 |
| fuzzy7k | I'm also a little curious why it is downloading a binary ramdisk for an open source project. | 21:49 |
| nhaines | If it's something that never changes, that's not uncommon. | 21:50 |
| fuzzy7k | If it's something that never changes, why does it need to redownload during make | 21:51 |
| nhaines | Because the script doesn't cache the file, I would assume. | 21:51 |
| fuzzy7k | It was a retorical question. Hoping the dev's get the hint. | 21:52 |
| nhaines | It probably isn't an issue for them. | 21:52 |
| fuzzy7k | I'd like to contribute, but so far no luck getting anything more than recovery working. | 21:53 |
| nhaines | What device are you working on? | 21:53 |
| fuzzy7k | ls970, it uses the same kernel as e975, which is mid port. | 21:53 |
| nhaines | Looks nice. I hope you can make some headway on it. | 21:54 |
| fuzzy7k | Should it be possible to fastboot flash system system.img(aosp image) and get a working adb shell? | 22:22 |
| fuzzy7k | Assuming fastboot flash boot boot.img | 22:22 |
