wavishtc is apparently giving 20% off the nexus 9 today http://www.htc.com/us/tablets/nexus-9/01:22
wavisI would get one, but I'm not sure if I could get Ubuntu on it. You folks confident it would be less than 8 hours work for a typical linux user?01:23
mcphailwavis: pretty confident you are at least an order of magnitude out on that one01:24
mcphail!devices01:25
ubot5You can find the full list of devices, official images, community images, and works in progress at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices01:25
wavismcphail: in which direction?01:25
mcphailwavis: that bad direction :/01:26
mcphailwavis: you'd have to create the full port yourself01:26

vishnudevI've built ubuntu touch for my device12:23
vishnudevHow to make a zip out of it ?12:23

morphisjgdx: pushed some fixes which should also remove those warnings you mentioned12:23
jgdxmorphis, ty, will look in a bit12:24
morphisjgdx: still have to test it a bit more when the silo is updated12:25

jgdxfaenil, question, if I set ListItemLayout.title to undefined, is the label created?13:27
jgdxfaenil, s/undefined/an empty string13:28
mardytvoss: hi! Do we inject the location we get from other providers (such as HERE) into the GPS?13:35
tvossmardy, yup13:35
tvossmardy, well, at least into the driver, it is up to the impl to make use of that information13:35
mardytvoss: I'm studying the code a bit, and I was a bit lost. I think I found it now: it all starts in Engine::add_provider(), where the provider's on_reference_location_changed() method is connected to the location update signal, right?13:38
tvossmardy, yup13:39
mardytvoss: and saving the location and almanac across reboots, is it something that we should be doing explicitly, or do GPS chips always store this info internally in some non-volatile memory?13:40
tvossmardy, it is up to the chipset/driver to store that information13:41
mardytvoss: how convenient :-)13:41
tvossmardy, yup, we can request the chipset to forget previous data, but that's it13:42
mardytvoss: AFAIR in wikipedia, the almanac data is valid up to 180 days; wouldn't it make sense to fetch it from some online server, instead than slowly get it from the satellites?13:43
tvossmardy, we already do13:43
mardytvoss: ah; where is this?13:44
tvossmardy, the gps chipset driver requests a so-called XTRA download from us13:44
tvossmardy, http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/location-service/15.04/view/head:/src/location_service/com/ubuntu/location/providers/gps/android_hardware_abstraction_layer.cpp#L14313:44
pmcgowantvoss, did silo2 not make the image last night?13:44
tvosspmcgowan, it did as far as I know13:44
tvosspmcgowan, why?13:44
pmcgowancant find your location13:44
mardytvoss: cool, I saw that download interface, and that was going to be my next question. :-) Now it's clear, thanks13:44
tvossmardy, cool13:45
pmcgowantvoss, Here is still busted for me13:45
tvossmardy, please note that the xtra data is gps/chipset/vendor/soc specific13:45
tvosspmcgowan, hmmm, let me see13:45
pmcgowanI saw there were problems landing it13:45
tvosspmcgowan, let me wipe and try again13:45
pmcgowanbut thought it got into the second image13:45
tvosspmcgowan, hmm, no one pinged me13:45
tvosspmcgowan, pinging sil13:46
pmcgowantvoss, from jibel The silo was misconfigured and it didn't migrate to the archive. This is fixed but won't be on next build.13:46
tvosspmcgowan, ah okay13:46
pmcgowantvoss, yeah it didnt make it13:47
pmcgowannm13:47
pmcgowanbut tis landed now13:47
tvosspmcgowan, very good13:47
faeniljgdx: yes, if you don't want any label, you want to use SlotsLayout13:51
faeniljgdx: but if you give me more details I can give you a better answer13:52
=== awe is now known as awe|afk
faeniljgdx: the labels are created inside their getters, so if you never try to access the title property it won't be created13:59

jgdxfaenil, that answers it, thanks14:08
mardytvoss: where is the source code of the Qt module which implements location using the platform api?14:10
tvossmardy, lp:qtubuntu-sensors14:10
mardytvoss: thanks14:10
faeniljgdx: I'm still curious...14:12
jgdxfaenil, most of the ListItemLayout usage in USS uses the title label, but a few uses the subtitle and summary.14:13
jgdxfaenil, and I want to create a component that can be used in all cases (title/title+subtitle/title+summary), but not if there e.g. the subtitle label is created, always.14:14
jgdxs/there/the14:15
faeniljgdx: why not just set title or subtitle accordingly?14:21
jgdxfaenil, I could, but we have dividers (a line beneath the ListItemLayout). And I like a reusable component that provides that, but not necessarily ListItem.14:22
jgdxsuggestions?14:23
faeniljgdx: what about dividers?14:25
faenilare you using a custom divider to avoid using ListItem? :P14:26
jgdxfaenil, essentially, I just need a ListItemLayout and a divider, so shouldn't I, for speed, not use ListItem? :p14:28
faeniljgdx: yeah, as long as the disadvantages don't outweigh the advantages...plus we don't have a ListItemDivider component which can be used from QML, so you're going to have to update the divider when its colour is finalize14:29
faenil(and I'm not sure it is finalized)14:29
jgdxwhat about U.C.ListItems.ThinDivider?14:30
faeniljgdx: that's from the old module14:30
jgdx1.3?14:30
faenilit's ListItems, the old module14:31
faenilListItem is using an internal divider item14:31
faenilzsombi: is ListItem's divider type exposed to QML?14:31
faenilif not, is there any plan to do that?14:32
jgdxfaenil, it is ListItem.divider14:32
faeniljgdx: that's the instance14:32
zsombifaenil: there is one ThinDivider in teh U.C.ListItems14:32
faenilzsombi: yeah, from the old module14:32
=== alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g
faenilzsombi: is there any decision about that? should we encourage people to use ThinDivider if they just need ListItemLayout + a divider?14:33
zsombifaenil: we have to move that under U.C so it is marked as kept14:33
faenilzsombi: yep14:33
labsinHi, I did a bugreport/feature request on qtubuntu for touch. I've addached a branch and proposed it for merging. Is there more I should do?14:33
jgdxfaenil, okay, I'll use the listitem for the divider for the time being, is that what you're saying?14:34
faenilzsombi: at that point though ListItem should start using that instead of the internal one, for consistency14:34
zsombifaenil: ehm... ListItem si a cpp component ThinDivider is QML...14:34
faeniljgdx: I don't know, I'm trying to understand the situation about dividers myself, remember I'm crossteams, I'm not sdk :D14:35
zsombifaenil: do you volunteer to make ThinDivider as cpp?14:35
faenilzsombi: no, but you already have ListItemDivider...14:35
faenilzsombi: either you expose that, or you move ListItem to ThinDivider, that's what I mean14:35
zsombifaenil: ListItemDivider14:36
zsombi...14:36
faenilzsombi: yes?14:36
faeniljgdx: so, since it seems there's no plan about that, I don't know what to tell you, sorry14:41
faeniljgdx: I'll write a quick benchmark and see if it's worth saving time by not using ListItem14:42

faeniljgdx: np :)14:53
jgdx:)14:53
faenilzsombi: have a look :)14:54
faeniljgdx: the difference is probably because ThinDivider uses 4 GradientStops14:54
zsombifaenil: what should I look at?14:54
faenilzsombi: the pastebin,14:55
zsombifaenil: ListItem also uses that method14:55
faenilzsombi: it has 2 gradient stops, not 4, or am I wrong?14:55
faenilzsombi: ah no, it has 4 gradientstops as well14:56
faenilzsombi: then I wonder why so much difference :D14:57

mac__Hello there. I have few questions about porting ubuntu touch to an android device. Am I at the right irc channel?17:40
k1l_mac__: yes17:41
k1l_mac__: there is a porting guide. and porting is not an easy task. you need advanced knowhow to do that.17:42
mac__Currently I have manage to port android 4.4 and android 5.1 to my device. My device is an old device and has few mtd partitions which is small so cannot be used.17:43
mac__we use the sdcard instead by have two partition sd-ext and sd-ext2 assigned as system and data in rom. however in recovery we do not mount system and data on sd-ext partition. Instead our installer zip takes care of mounting system and data.17:45
mac__I have compile ubuntu touch but am stuck with installation.17:45
mac__since in recovery we do  not have system and data partition, but have sd-ext and sd-ext2 instead, so the installation fails17:46
mac__My question. where does ubuntu get install if we install as per ubuntu wiki's website. I beleieve it is data partition. Am I correct?17:48
k1l_mac__: most devs are europe based and might have already went home. if no one is answering here you might want to mail to the mailinglist, where people can read it when they get online again.17:56
