muka_Can someone tell me if Meizu MX4 would work on t-mobile network in US? Also, is it possible to get MX4 Android edition and flash it to Ubuntu?00:21
nhainesIt would, where T-Mobile hasn't disabled their 2G network.00:22
nhainesIt is possible to flash some  Android MX4s with Ubuntu, but you won't be able to tell until you have it in your hand.00:22
nhainesSo maybe don't do that.00:23
muka_nhaines, thank you.00:27

JMDHey I got a Nexus 4 runing ubuntu touch, I saw that OTA7 should be release 26 but mine says r24 anyone know why?05:01
lotuspsychjeJMD: wich channel are you on?05:01
JMDGood question, hang on05:02
nhainesJMD: there was no OTA7 for mako yet.05:03
nhainesShould be coming soon.05:03
nhainesThe "why" is that they're in the middle of arranging things so that it's closer to the retail phone images.05:04
JMDAhah, ok05:04
JMDthx05:04
JMDReally liking Ubuntu touch, has come on a long way, just wish it had whatsapp05:05

JMDhere too: http://techfrag.com/2015/10/21/ubuntu-touch-ota-7-update-available-download-supported-devices/05:18
lotuspsychjejournalism...they never investigate the real facts05:19
JMDSo where should I be looking to make sure I'm getting the right news? The Canonical email list?05:21
nhainesPrett much.05:23
nhainesPretty much.  :)05:23
JMDok05:23
lotuspsychjeJMD: i read omgubuntu and softpedia, but some facts might be untrue indeed05:23
nhainesOf course, they also didn't bother telling anyone until somebody asked, so...  :)05:24
lotuspsychjeJMD: the twitter is pretty nice too: https://twitter.com/ubuntu05:24
JMDcool, thx05:26
JMDthe twitter mentions the coming of convergence to ubuntu touch, any ideas if the Nexus 4 will be able to support it?05:29
nhainesDepends what you mean by "convergence."05:29
JMDum, ok, can you explain?05:30
nhainesEvery phone ever will be able to run any Ubuntu app compiled for ARM.  Only some will be able to output to an external display.  The Nexus 7 can. I *think* the Nexus 4 can, too.05:30
nhainesI know the bq and Meizu phones can't.05:31
JMDok, the nexus 4 can output to an external screen05:31
JMDI bought a cable and it does, although it didn't display quite as I expected, but I did get it from a cheap PC place here in Hong Kong....05:32
JMDI guess for me convergence means being able to plug the phone into a dock that has a screen, keyboard, mouse and carrying on working. The demos I have seen have shown something like this05:38
CoZohello everybody06:50
CoZoI wonder if someone here have a touch screen problem on nexus 406:50

ahayzendbarth_, Hey, I was told you may be the best person to speak to about this, I had a WebView that played some audio (possibly two at the same time) when this occurred it caused the whole phone to freeze and then reboot. It doesn't happen often (its happened twice so far) but i was wondering if it has been reported before, or if there are any logs i would be able to look at the next time it happens?12:56
ogra_ahayzen, definitely take a look at /var/crash12:57
ogra_(and check the timestamps)12:57
ahayzenogra_, but the phone froze for like 5-10s then rebooted, would there even be enough time for apport to kick in?12:58
* ahayzen checks anyway12:58
dbarth_ahayzen: hi12:59
ahayzenogra_, only the push-client, dash, location services and scopes have crash files12:59
dbarth_ahayzen: where you using the background playback feature?12:59
ogra_ahayzen, any of them with a timestamp that matches the crash time ?13:00
ahayzendbarth_, yes its with the new bg-playlists media-hub, but the application itself was focused and it was a short sound13:00
ahayzenogra_, i don't think so13:00
ogra_:(13:00
ahayzenogra_, i've had hardoffs via the camera before that don't create a .crash, i was told that was something in the android side bfore13:01
ogra_indeed, that could be13:01
ogra_you can use /system/bin/logcat to inspect that side13:01
ogra_(though that wont help if you already rebooted indeed)13:02
ahayzenyeah :-/ ... or if the phone reboots itself ? ;-)13:02
ogra_right13:02
dbarth_ahayzen: shouldn't have crashed anyway; you can file a bug report, and i can direct it to one of the developers to see what's wrong13:02
ahayzendbarth_, ok, which project should it be against, oxide ?13:03
dbarth_i possible, list down the ways to reproduce, and the use of the particular new playlist support with media hub13:03
dbarth_ahayzen: i would file against media-hub for now13:03
dbarth_and then we can see if that's a bad interaction from xoide / the webview, or not13:03
ahayzenok cool13:03
jhodappdbarth_, why against media-hub? It's not using media-hub for playback to my understanding13:04
dbarth_ahayzen: jus ping me the bug number, as i may not get it automatically via a notification13:04
dbarth_jhodapp: bg playlist support?13:04
jhodappdbarth_, but I thought this was playback from a webapp which wouldn't even touch bg playlists13:05
dbarth_ahayzen: you mean the webview is embedded in a qml app wich itself calls media-hub directly with the new playlist feature ?13:05
ahayzendbarth_, i mean it is a qml app with a WebView ... and the website itself plays audio13:05
ahayzenso its coming from oxide13:05
ahayzeni'm not linking in anyway with media-hub13:06
dbarth_ah, so that's plain oxide, and it have the env. variable to play in the background then13:06
dbarth_ok, clearer; then oxide and i'll send to justinmcp13:06

bee_keeperHi, so i go to a scope and swipe up.  There's a crap load of apps (under also installed) there which don't appear in my apps panel.  Q1. What gives?  Q2. How to delete them?15:43
dpmbee_keeper, what's "a scope"? I.e. which particular scope are you referring to?15:44
mcphailbee_keeper: first thing is to be aware that some of the scopes listed serve data to other scopes, and that data will go missing if you remove them15:44
bee_keeperdpm: well any scope.  For example music, videos, news etc15:44
ogra_dpm, bee_keeper means the scope manager15:45
ogra_(bottom swipe)15:45
dpmoh, I see15:45
bee_keeperthanks ogra_, no sure of the terminology15:45
mcphailbee_keeper: If you click the star, they will be added to the main scopes list15:45
dpmbee_keeper, what you see there are not apps, they are other scopes that can be added as a source of additional content15:46
bee_keeperdpm: ok makes sense. so i guess i want to say, how can i delete those scopes?15:46
ogra_as mcphail said, many of tehm are aggreated into other scopes so removing them would break stuff15:47
ogra_(there is surely a way via cmdline to remove them though, but it might break stuff)15:47
mcphailbee_keeper: you can unistall from the app store, although I'm never sure whether uninstalling does anthing for the preinstalled scopes/apps15:48
dpmyeah, I was going to mention something along the lines as well15:48
bee_keeperso try to do it via the store?  I have the terminal app, am thinking i can maybe just delete them at source?  Is that safe?15:49
dpmyou can search for a particular scope you've got installed and uninstall it from the app store (scroll down the apps scope -the one with the apps grid-)15:49
dpmthe store would be easier and probably safer15:49
ogra_yeah15:50
dpmIIRC you can also uninstall the preinstalled ones via the terminal, but you'll have to watch out for not breaking stuff that depends on them15:50
bee_keeperok seems to be working, thanks15:52
dpmcool15:52
bee_keeperit would be good if you could go to all installed in the ubuntu store and then just delete them all15:55
* ogra_ never felt the need to uninstall them ... and it is the first time i see this asked here i think15:56
ogra_it isnt like they do anything if you dont activate them15:57
ogra_(and they will come back with the next update i think)15:57
bee_keeperogra_: phone runs a bit slowly and sometimes freezes when displaying the install list.  I don't want app crap that i never use15:57
ogra_well, its a preinstalled set and it will come back on upgrade (i think)15:58
ogra_if you see freezes it is surely not related to no-enabled scopes15:58
ogra_since they are not enabled :)15:59
bee_keeperThey're not enabled but they are installed.  They must be using some system resources however negible15:59
