loganlambanyone here? a friend just told me about the register article and I wanted to touch base02:41
nhainesloganlamb: it'll be quiet for another 5 hours or so.  Which article?02:47

RAOFWhat particularly do you want to know about it?02:49
nhainesIt was nice that Canonical were able to reach out to anyone affected.  And it was easy to fix.  Not that this is scaleable.  :)02:50
loganlambwell, I wrote it02:50
loganlambI figured we’d end up chatting tomorrow, but wanted to touch base tonight02:50

dholbachgood morning06:42
zzarrHello! how do I select the order of my scopes?07:24
matv1zzarr its a little bit undiscoverable. In the scope overview, long press one of the scopes that you have. then, you are able to manage them. You can now drag any of you home scopes up or down by pressing the trailing iconicon07:31
nhaineszzarr: swipe up to enter the scopes pinning screen, then long press on the list and you'll be able to reorder your favorited scopes by dragging.07:31
zzarrmatv1 and nhaines thank you :)07:32
matv1np07:33
nhaineszzarr: my pleasure.  Much easier than what I used to do (which was just make sure to favorite them in the right order, lol).07:34
zzarrsweet, now the scopes are in the order I want them to :)07:34
matv1one could almost call that an easter egg  :)07:34
zzarrhehe, yes, it should be more obvious I think07:35
zzarra button or a symbol of some kind07:35
dholbachhey popey, who do I talk to to get help-app landings moved to vivid (https://code.launchpad.net/~torsten.franz/help-app/help-app/+merge/274746)?07:39
zzarrmay I ask dholbach why you want apps ti Vivid when Wily is realized the 22:nd?07:50
EdwardMorbiushello, is OTA-7 coming out today as scheduled? :)07:50
dholbachzzarr, the phone is based on vivid right now07:50
nhainesEdwardMorbius: that decision will be made based on future testing.07:51
zzarryes, dholbach but OTA-7 is comes today ;)07:51
dholbachright07:52
dholbachthat's based on vivid too ;-)07:52
nhaineszzarr: no Ubuntu phone release will be based on wily.07:52
dholbachand I'm looking forward to it :-)07:52
EdwardMorbiusnhaines ok thanks07:52
zzarrnhaines, yes ;) that's what I meant07:54
nhaineszzarr: since the Ubuntu phones will never run wily, the apps need to run on vivid.07:55
zzarrI assumed that OTA-7 would be based on Wily since it's so close to the release of Wily on desktop07:56
EdwardMorbiusnhaines never run wily? next phone base will be next lts then or still vivid in a foreseeable future?07:56
nhainesEdwardMorbius: vivid for the foreseable future.07:56
zzarrohh... I see, why?07:56
nhaineszzarr: nope.  It took a month or so to go from utopic to vivid, but they're not planning on switching to wily.07:56
nhainesThey're staying where they are, and eventually will port everything to snappy Ubuntu Core.07:57
zzarrnhaines, thanks for the heads up07:57
EdwardMorbiusnhaines I see, so phone is heading for snappy ubuntu core in the future, thanks for the information.07:58
zzarrlittle off topic: will the desktop version be heading for snappy too?07:59
nhainesEdwardMorbius: the phone, servers, desktops... everything.  :)  Not that the current desktop/server system is going anywhere, of course.07:59
nhaineszzarr: yup.  Probably test versions in June or July 2016.08:00
EdwardMorbiusnhaines I read about that, I have high hopes for snappy desktop, it seems to have lots of advantages.08:00
nhainesAnd at that point, the phone and a snappy desktop will be runnning identical software.08:00
zzarrnhaines, nice, will MIR be standard in 16.04?08:00
EdwardMorbiuszzarr I dont think so, unity 8 might be optional or so I heard.08:01
nhaineszzarr: almost certainly not.  Possibly in 16.10, probably by 17.04.08:01
zzarrnhaines, that's very nice08:01
zzarrbut I will be able to switch to MIR/Unity8 as soon as there are GPU drivers available?08:02
nhainesIt's been installable in Ubuntu since 13.10.08:03
EdwardMorbiuszzarr you can test it08:03
zzarryes, but there's no drivers for nVidia GPU's08:03
nhainesWorks fine with the noveau drivers, I believe.08:04
zzarror no drivers from the vendor08:04
EdwardMorbiusIt works with my Radeon and open source drivers08:04
zzarrI just realized that, but for some reason noveau is unstable for me08:04
EdwardMorbiuszzarr you have a newer nvidia maybe? nouveau is kind of flaky for some of them08:05
zzarr(on 2 different computers with different hardware)08:05
zzarrno, the machines are old08:05
EdwardMorbiusI seen nouveau on an old gt320 in a laptop, works fine in 14.04. which ubuntu do you run?08:06
zzarrone MacBook 5.1 (late 2008) and one stationary machine with a ASUS mainboard a D525 CPU and a nVidia ION LE GPU08:07
zzarr15.04 on both08:07
EdwardMorbiusunfortunately I have seen those gpus in action, seen gt/gtx series only. I am guessing properietary drivers no longer exist for them?08:08
EdwardMorbiushavent*08:08
zzarryes, I have proprietary drivers08:09
zzarrthey exist08:09
EdwardMorbiusgood, nvidia is usually better with those than amd.08:09
EdwardMorbiusamd linux drivers are well...for most gpus08:10
zzarrthey have resiliently extended so a few more years08:10
EdwardMorbiusI am off now and wait for OTA-7 eventually XD have fun people08:13

zzarrI can't launch the ssh shell on my phone from the SDK, what could be wrong? (the phone does have developer mode enabled)08:19
rbasakAre the lockscreen hanging issues since the last OTA a known bug?08:35
rbasakAfter a notification comes in, I often get a flashing screen (flapping between on and off) and attempts to pull down the notification bar from the top cause the screen to go off (I think because of the proximity sensor).08:36
rbasakSometimes the lock screen becomes completely unresponsive and I have to hard reset.08:36
rbasak(bq Aquaris 4.5)08:37
zzarrrbasak, happens to me too, I have a Meizu MX4, but if I wait long enough it comes back08:39
robin-herorbasak: If I'm right it is fixed in OTA-7, which is coming today08:40
zzarrrobin-hero, that's amazing :)08:44
zzarrahh, I missed the line saying "developer tools not installed", I'll just do that and try the ssh again (don't know if it will help or not)08:48
Guest42341hi all08:48
robin-herohi08:48
Guest42341where is ota7? :))08:48

nhainesThe decision won't be made until evening.08:49
Guest42341i see, thanks nhaines08:50
rbasakThanks all. I look forward to the update.08:50
rbasakDoes anyone know the bug number for the lockscreen issue? Only for my curiosity.08:50
zzarrare the developer tools referenced in Ubuntu SDK the phablet-tools package?08:50
robin-heroI have been using r26 (bq 4.5) since Friday :) nhaines: What do you test on it?08:51

nhainesNo, I don't think I'll be observing that one today.  :)09:07
rbasakrobin-hero: thanks. I'm not sure either of those symptoms match mine exactly, but perhaps the underlying issue is the same. I'll see if this next OTA fixes it.09:08

jnxdguess there's nothing but wait then09:49
nhainesNow if only the web archive would update.  :)09:57
jnxdis there anyway to update other than through the phone? I kinda can't use that channel because of some proxy issues.10:01
nhainesYou can do it via the desktop.10:01
jnxdnhaines: details?10:01
robin-herosil2100: Did you send the announcment email? Because I can't see yet.10:01
robin-herosil2100: Oop, it has just arrived  :)10:02
nhainesjnxd: https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/installing-ubuntu-for-devices/10:02
ogra_jnxd, wrt release party: ... the reason we do rolling releases in phone and snappy is that we can have a release party every day !10:02
jnxdnhaines: and will that prevent me from getting any further OTA?10:02
nhainesNo.10:03
jnxdogra_: lol10:03
nhainesjnxd: you might want to leave off the --bootstrap bit though, to keep your user data.  Someone else might be more clear on that--it's been a long while since I've done it.10:04
jnxdnhaines: seems like everything I have will wipe out!10:04
popeyYou only ever need bootstrap when coming from android10:05
jnxdpopey: so if I'm already on ubuntu, I'm safe?10:05
popeysafe from what?10:05
popeyWhat channel are you on?10:05
jgdxor when you've thoroughly hacked your installation to pieces10:06
jnxdfrom losing all the pics I've taken, all the music I have, blah blah10:06
popeyOTA doesn't delete your personal data10:06
jnxdpopey: well, I am on the channel the phone was on when I bought it10:06
popeysame here10:06
popeyyou'll get OTA-7 some time today/tomorrow10:06
jnxdso something like stable/bqaquaris.en10:06
Guest42341he's asking how to flash ota7 from pc without wiping user data10:06
Guest42341jnxd, right?10:07
jnxdpopey: see, the issue is, that uPhone still does not implement proxy properly. So I have to either go around begging someone for internet without proxy, or try flashing through PC10:08
jnxdGuest42341: yeah10:08
popeywhich phone?10:09
jnxde510:09
popeyubuntu-device-flash touch --channel=ubuntu-touch/stable/bq-aquaris.en --device=vegetahd10:09
popeygive that a go10:09
popeyit should print out the image number it's downloading near the start of the process10:09
popeyif it's less than #6 then it's not flashing ota-710:10
nhaines5 is right out.10:10
jnxdpopey: okay, and I ctrl+c before it's done downloading?10:10
popeyi think there's also a download-only option which won't flash it10:11
jnxdpopey: fine then. I'll try that out10:12
jnxdpopey: I think "adb shell system-image-cli --dry-run" is close to what you meant10:15
nhainesI can see the OMG Ubuntu headline now.  "Ubuntu developers abandon promised OTA-7 to work on OTA-8 instead."  :)10:16
jnxdpopey: nhaines: is there any way to install ubuntu apps and scopes by the PC route?10:16
davmor2jnxd: you know it's a phone right, so it has a sim that has data, if your plan is big enough you can set the update mechanism to trigger on any data type and install it via 3g10:16
popeyjnxd: no10:17
* rbasak just got OTA-710:17
popeyjnxd: i didn't "mean" that at all, I typed exactly what I meant10:17
rbasakSeems to have installed OK10:17
* popey shakes fist at rbasak 10:17
jnxddavmor2: I'm just a poor guy, blah blah blah10:17
jnxdpopey: well, "mean" in the sense that it serves the same purpose: I get to know what I'd be downloading10:18
nhainesWell, no, the purpose of what popey meant was that it downloaded the file on the PC without installing it, so that you could see the image number without risking your device.10:19
davmor2jnxd: ah okay, that just means you need no sympathy though right?10:20
jnxdnhaines: but if I go for a dry run, it should in principle tell me what version it'll download without me having to download it!10:21
jnxddavmor2: well, a guy with limited data ALWAYS needs sympathy :D (which is why I didn't complete the lyrics)10:22
nhainesjnxd: it won't be helpful, though.  The phone's phased but the computer won't be.10:22
jnxdnhaines: aah10:22
jnxdnhaines: i think i get the idea10:23
jnxdnhaines: popey's "no" was a little ambiguous, so let me ask again: is there any way to install ubuntu apps and scopes by the PC route?10:25
nhainesIf you could get them.  There's no convenient way.10:26
jnxdnhaines: okay. so I'm stuck10:26
nhainesYou push the click package to the phone via adb or MTP, then you run a shell on the phone.  'pkcon install-local --allow-untrusted foobar.click'10:27
popeymy "no" was to your question about adb shell10:27
Guest42341jnxd, as nhaines said you can but it's not very easy. to browse the apps and download see this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppStore/Interfaces/ClickPackageIndex10:28
popeyyou can grab clicks from the store and 'side load' (ugh) them as nhaines says10:28
zzarrwhen will OTA-7 be released?10:28
nhaineszzarr: 50 minutes ago.10:28
zzarrnhaines, nice, I'll install it now :D10:29
nhainesMaybe!10:29
jnxdzzarr: or, if my mail client is to be believed, 12 hours ago (heavens know how that came to be)10:29
nhaineszzarr: it's only rolling out to 6% of the users right now.  It'll continue rolling out over today.10:29
zzarrnhaines, okey, not overloading the servers I guess ;)10:30
nhainesOr destroying every phone at once, if there's a problem.  ;)10:30
zzarrnhaines, right10:30
nhainesActually, I wonder if system-image-cli is phased.  Now that I think of it.10:31
Guest42341we should have an opt-in for a faster OTA (maybe 2-3 days earlier)10:31
nhainesI should suspect not.10:32
ogra_Guest42341, nah, instead of producing extra work for everyone through that, people wantin something earlier should run rc-proposed and reprot bugs ;)10:32
nhainesOh, nice.  Someone's already downvoted my reddit post.  :)10:33
Guest42341:))10:33
nhainesBut it's stickied, so it's not going anywhere, so the joke's on them!10:33
Guest42341ogra_, after this ota i'll jump on rc (stable channel is boring for me)10:34
zzarrohh, I just remembered, I got a notification from my phone that there was an update on Friday, but there was not one, a bit odd10:35
nhaineszzarr: was an error in staging for OTA-7.10:35
zzarrnhaines, that explains it, I thought something like that was the case10:38
ogra_zzarr, you shoudl subscribe to the mailing list ;)10:39
ogra_(it was described there)10:39
zzarrnhaines, how are the 6% that have gotten OTA-7 selected?10:39
Guest42341random10:40
popeyit involves chickens, chalk and candles10:40
zzarrogra_, you're right, I should10:40
zzarrpopey, I ate chicken for dinner today, does that affect when I get OTA-7?10:41
* jnxd thinks popey took server "farms" a bit too literally10:41
ogra_zzarr, that food indicated OTA algorithm specifically looks at what sides you had since everything tastes like chicken10:42
zzarrogra_, nice, I like that kind of algorithms :) good food and updates for my phone ;)10:43

* dobey wonders how to build images for a system-image server13:59
mariogripdobey: Just package an tarball (tar.xz) where (boot.img and system.img) is placed in a folder named partitions and the system files is placed in a folder named system (example system/var/lib/lxc/system.img or system/etc/nginx/test.conf)14:02
dobeymariogrip: i mean in the broader context of "where do i get the kernel for this device and how do i build it exactly"14:03
mariogripoh14:03
dobeytaking the existing tarballs and repacking them should be easy enough. but i have no idea how to actually build the rekernel for the nexus5 for repacking based on the mako images, for example14:04
=== balloons_ is now known as balloons
dobeybecause tassader's server is way behind, missing channels, etc… and i haven't seen him around for some time now :-/14:04
mariogripthat should be easy, just take the device tarball from his server and take the system (ubuntu) tarball from generic or mako14:05
mariogripthat should work14:06
mariogripthey are spited into 2 different tarballs14:06
mariogriplike boot and device specific settings is on the device tarball and all common ubuntu system files is placed on a ubuntu tarball14:07
binaraccording to the porting guide, the apparmor patches should be taken from something like http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-utopic.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/mako, however this 404s14:10
binaris there any recent recommendation?14:10
jgdxkenvandine, the ubuntu_system_settings.tests.test_sound.SoundTestCase.test_silent_mode_sound_switch failure seems real. Maybe I've broken something.14:20
jgdxthe updates failures as well14:20
jgdxbut not related to the 1.3 branch14:20
eddiemaidenHey, If I updated my phone at Friday when the "accidental" release was happaned, Will I also get a new OTA? Or is it the same release?14:25
matv1eddiemaiden it is the same14:28
eddiemaidenmatv1: Thanks, but I read somewhere a fix was missing from that release...14:29
kenvandinejgdx, yeah, i was just looking at that14:29
kenvandinejgdx, so those are failing on other branches too?14:29
kenvandinejgdx, the test_space test was the one that passed in the CI run before this one14:30
kenvandineso that one at least seems to be flaky14:30
matv1eddiemaiden ah then i missed that. I just remember Lukasz saying in the mailing list that it was the same one14:30
eddiemaidenmatv1: Yes, he said that, but If I am right davmor2 said a fix was missing from that release14:33
davmor2eddiemaiden: it's the same unless you are on the MX414:34

dobeymariogrip: right (sorry, got distracted by work for a bit :), but i don't know where the kernel source for the kernel is for ubuntu for hammerhead. i'm pretty sure it needs rebuilt with some newer changes at this point15:11

jameshjhodapp: hi.  I just replied to your email.  It's late here, but if there's anything else you need to know hopefully I can help15:26
dobeymariogrip: yes, it's still the same kernel base. but the video is broke on n5, and i'd like to rebuild with whatever changes are necessary for bluez5. there's also a seccomp backport about to end up in the supported phone images, and i'd like to pull that in for hammerhead too15:26

dobeywhatever17:39
popeydobey: so, suggestions for store text description edits welcom...17:51
popey*welcome17:51
dobeypopey: the text description is not the problem. the two apps have almost the same icon, the exact same visible name. the "new" app behaves differently and doesn't import any data from the abandoned app, so there is no migration path.17:57
dobeyi don't understand why the new app was renamed from reminders, considering that's pretty much what it's designed to do17:57
popeydobey: I never use the reminder functionality, only the note taking function.18:02
dobeypopey: i mean, the UX seems to be all about reminders and organization (stuffing things in lists) rather than just jotting some text down in a note, where the actual "notes" app is more like just throwing something on a sticky note18:03
arioBarzananyone tried ubuntu-touch on a surface pro 3?18:18
arioBarzanor any other tablets with intel cpu instead of arm?18:20
ogra_popey, btw, you talked about adblock ... http://hostsfile.mine.nu/Hosts  (3MB !) ... replace /etc/hosts ... done :)18:20

ogra_now if chrisccoulson had some docs about how to intercept dns lookups in an oxide webview i could build that into my clicks :)18:23
popeyor build an app which does it18:23
ogra_though i guess a 3MB db lookup would slow everything down a lot for each url that gets loaded by a site18:24
dobeychanging /etc/hosts is a hack18:26
ogra_well, it was just for trying18:26
ogra_i would actually like to have it integrateable in a webview18:26
ogra_but i couldnt find a way yet18:27
dobeyit would be nice if webbrowser-app had a method of blocking ads by modifying the DOM, and all webapps just picked it up without having to provide anything themselves, though18:27

* mcphail is struggling to work out why modifying /etc/hosts is a hack? Surely it is being used as intended?18:37
dobeymcphail: it doesn't block things served from the same domain, for one.18:37
dobeyand it's not usable by everyone18:38
ogra_it is a proper blacklist mechanism ... usually ... on PCs ... which are not readonly ...18:38
mcphaildobey: it isn't perfect, but it isn't a hack. And I am very happy to see ads served from the same domain: I'm against ad syndication where the site owner abrogates responsibility for the ad content18:39
ogra_it is surely not a proper solution for the phone ;)18:39
ogra_mcphail, if you need to make the rootfs rw (even temporary) it is a hack18:39
mcphailOK, I'll take that point18:40
dobeyogra_: it's not a proper solution for PCs either. it's something that requires excessive technical knowledge to make use of18:40
ogra_would be nice to have an /etc/hosts.d dir ... writable ... where people can dump files in18:40
dobeywould be better to have a proper ad blocking solution with proper UI ;)18:41
ogra_talk to adblock ... :)18:41
ogra_they will probably tell you "yeah once whatsapp is there" :P18:41
dobeyapparently adblock is evil now, having sold out to an anonymous buyer18:41
mcphailThe android /etc/hosts adblockers manage to work well, with good UI. It _is_ possible18:41
dobeyogra_: adblock existing as an extension or not though, is only useful once the browser actually supports extensions :)18:42
dobeymcphail: don't all of them require "jailbreaking" the device?18:42
mcphaildobey: yes, you need root18:43
ogra_right, you could have an unconfined click that provides that UI (and remounts using sudo etc etc )18:43
ogra_so android also uses a hack :)18:44
ogra_just that google allows hackish packages into their store ... we dont18:44
mcphailMy mind is boggling. When did using root for admin purposes become a hack?18:44
dobeyhow is ad blocking "admin purposes" exactly?18:44
ogra_mcphail, the hack is to do it on that low level18:45
mcphailcontrolling the network is an admin task, surely?18:45
ogra_and to give users the gun ... loaded ... pinting at their face ... and put their finger on the trigger18:45
dobeywhen did network administration become a required field of knowledge for people to have a decent experience using their phone or the web?18:45
ogra_a phone user shouldnt have to fiddle with /etc/hosts18:45
ogra_not even if there is a nice UI on top18:46
mcphailogra_: they don't have to. Check out the android apps. Press the big red button. That's it18:46
ogra_(that might do whatnot to your system ... its a java binary, how do you knwo)18:46
dobeyif you have to jailbreak your phone, you already lost18:46
mcphailWe don't have to jailbreak Ubuntu18:47
dobeyyou do if you want to write to /etc/hosts18:47
ogra_if you want a UI18:47
mcphailogra_: unless the functionality can be provided in a framework18:48
ogra_sure18:48
dobeyyou mean like a browser extension?18:48
ogra_and the hosts file gets writable18:48
ogra_then you could have something like that18:48
mcphailIt would be easier than a browser extension and would apply to all apps18:49
mcphailANd would save millions of DNS lookups18:50
dobeyeasier? for whom?18:50
mcphaildobey: easier to implement18:50
dobeyand browser extension would not result in those DNS lookups happening either18:51
dobeyunless it's implemented totally wrong18:51
mcphaildobey: a browser extension wouldn't help with all the webview apps18:51
dobeyit would if it was implemented correctly18:51
ogra_sure18:51
ogra_the webview is just a minimal incarnation of the browser18:52
dobeyexactly18:52
mcphailsurely that would break the security model? An extension in one app could affect components in another?18:52
* mcphail pretends altering /etc/hosts is secure18:53
dobeyno, it wouldn't have to break the security model18:53
dobeyand you would actually get a readable web page as a result, with a browser extension, rather than a bunch of broken images and such18:53
mcphailYou don't get broken images with hosts file alteration either18:54
dobeyand modifying /etc/hosts doesn't prevent DNS lookups. it just means they resolve locally18:54
mcphaildobey: that is a little faster, though18:54
dobeysure you do. what do you think browsers display for images when they can't load the images?18:54
mcphaildobey: they haven't displayed placeholders for 10 years18:55
dobeyyou must not use the web much :)18:55
mcphail:)18:55
dobeybrowsers definitly display placeholders18:55
mcphaildobey: I never see them, and use hosts based blocking on my desktops and phones18:56
mcphaildobey: if you have concerns, you can run a server on localhost which will serve a 0px image18:57
dobeyyou are ignoring all the points18:57
mcphailbut I've never found the need18:57
