zzarrgood morning, my phone (Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition) can't find OTA-808:30
pandatronezzarr, :'(08:37
zzarrI hope it's released to day, I know that a batch of phones are selected for update at random ever so often (meaning I don't know the interval)08:39
EdwardMorbiusmorning, is OTA-8 live? I dont see an announcement on the mailing list.08:40
garroHi! I have a problem with the browser app for ubuntu Touch. My problem is similar to this "http://askubuntu.com/questions/692369/reinstall-browser"08:41

garro Hi! I have a problem with the browser app for ubuntu Touch. My problem is similar to this "http://askubuntu.com/questions/692369/reinstall-browser"09:03
garroCan anyone help me?09:03
EdwardMorbiusgarro factory reset maybe? I hope one of the developers can help you more09:05
garroit's a bit annoying... If there were someway to reinstall only the browser app I would prefere09:06
EdwardMorbiusgarro cant help you with that unfortunately, developers should know more, since the browser is part of system image reinstalling it would probably require making the image rw but I am just speculating.09:08
garroI frequently use the mount command with the remount rw option to get the image temporarly rw, so I think this is not a problem...09:11
garroanyway09:12
garrothank you Edward09:12
EdwardMorbiusgarro you are welcome, I hope your question will get answered by someone here that is more knowledgeable09:13

mardytvoss: about the s/reference/last_known/ change, I'll apply that to velocity and heading too, right?09:38
tvossmardy, yup09:38
zzarrlotuspsychje, in that case I'll have to wait more I guess09:41
jibelhow do I enable developer mode from the terminal? I cannot do it from the UI on devel-proposed09:42
jibelI tried android-gadget-service enable adb but it doesn't seem to be it09:42
mardytvoss: should I change it everywhere? even on the provider interface (on_reference_location_updated() and similars)?09:43
mardyI guess that would require rebuilding the espoo provider09:43

pandatroneIt seems the OTA-8 date will be moved one day later as mentioned in my09:51

tvossmardy, let's confine the change to the engine for now. I think we should do a coordinated landing of breaking changes beginning of next week10:02
mardytvoss: OK. I'm rebuilding the project, will push soon10:04
JamesTaitGood morning all; happy Thursday, and happy Use Less Stuff Day! 😃10:14
mardytvoss: MP updated10:19
mardytvoss: so, what do you think about having a provider querying the google-location-service API, which could be configured to work with either google or mozilla (the API is essentially the same)?10:20

Mirvmardy: sorry I've noticed you've been very busy with various landings lately, but just a reminder that there's also the ticket https://requests.ci-train.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/649 if you have to time to test + mark it for ready for publishing. no hurry though, there's a long time until OTA-9 and I don't have other qtdeclarative landings right at the moment.10:44
mardyMirv: I tested it several days ago; if you haven't changed anything since then, then I'll mark it as ready10:46
mardyMirv: "mark it ready" = "set status to QA granted"?10:46
Mirvmardy: ah! "Ready for QA"10:47
Mirvmardy: QA != you, QA == QA team :) so they'll check it next.10:47
Mirvmardy: and yes the status options are confusing, there's a bug about it10:47

popeylooks like OTA-7 and OTA-8 have the same kernel on our side18:17
popeymaybe a patch here or there, but most of the work happens in userspace.18:17
popeyBut no, probably not worth you switching back from Android studio_, as I doubt we have met your requirements.18:18

dobeyi know thousands of people, and so far, i can't think of anyone of them who has ever wanted to run an exchange server on their phone19:19
k1l_running a server on the phone is silly. you want a server to run a server.19:20
popeystudio_, I think we know where you're going with this - basically, ubuntu phone can't connect to an exchange server, therefore it's not a good platform.19:20
popeyEssentially.19:20
dobeywhy can't it connect to an exchange server?19:20
popeyproprietary undocumented protocols19:21

lotus|xenialdavmor2: :p19:32
studio_dobey, i am sorry about to understand you here in "ubunt-touch". you do not like to use a writeable system with aptitude or apt-get update / upgrade. we are talking about mir/wayland, xmir is still not supported, so what do you tell me? i am yust a "normal" user ...19:37
dobeyno we are not talking about mir/wayland19:38
studio_sure19:38
dobeythere is no such thing as a normal user, and even if there were, you certainly are not it19:38
studio_dobey, is ubuntu-touch supporting systemd?19:39
studio_if yes on what device?19:39
dobeyno19:40
dobeythe phone is still using upstart right now19:41
dobeybut again, what has that got to do with anything?19:41
dprophecyguyhey19:43

dprophecyguyokay19:45
dprophecyguythanks19:45
davmor2dprophecyguy: this is a channel for phone related stuff, you'll want to ask on #ubuntu19:45
dobeybut on a phone, apt is not supported19:45
davmor2dobey: man you type fast19:45
studio_ok, k1l_ did made an withdrawn, after i askek him about "productive environment ", but please, is anybody here using the ubuntu-touch device i an productive environment system?19:46
dobeydavmor2: an awesome developer must be light on one's fingers19:46
dobeystudio_: stop.19:46
studio_dobey, stop is the wrong answer!19:47
dobeyubuntu phones have been in production for almost a year.19:47
dobeyyour disagreement with what is available or how you wish to use such a device, has nothing to do with a "productive environment"19:47
dobeyfrankly, you are creating an unproductive environment by coming in here and spewing your vitriol19:48
davmor2dobey: oh that's such a nice word :)19:48
dobey:)19:49
OerHeksany answer to studio_  gives 2 more questions :-D19:49
studio_dobey, maybe  a missunderstanding, i do not mean "in production"", i mean in "productive environment" ...19:49
dobeystudio_: it's a phone. it makes phone calls. it is by definition fulfilling its purpose, and thus productive19:49
dobeystudio_: you however, are not productive19:50
studio_dobey, you missed the point19:50
davmor2studio_: there are 1000's of people using it daily as their main phone. so yes people use it in a productive environment daily19:50
dobeyof all the points in this channel, it is not i who is missing them19:51
studio_davmor2, there are 1000's who reflash their ubuntu-Touch devices back to Android 5.0, have you ever seen that?19:52
popeystudio_, I use multiple ubuntu phones in my productive environment19:52
davmor2studio_: No19:53
popeyI see six devices from where I'm sat.19:53
davmor2popey: light weight19:53
popeyhah.19:53
dobeydavmor2: but studio_ has done so a 1000 times19:53
dobeyandroid 5 is so last week though19:54
popeystudio_, there are thousands of people who use Ubuntu on their phone and have not switched back to Android, we know this.19:54
dobeyall the cool kids are using 6 on the nexus 5x19:54
popeybecause we switch the camera on periodically to watch them19:54
popey(we don't really, but it's a fun idea)19:54
dobeyhahaha19:54
* Stskeeps tells phoronix19:54
popeyhah!19:54
* lotus|xenial is never going back to android19:55
popeynever say never :)19:55
studio_popey, how do you use your ubuntu-touch device in an "productive environment" ? For exp. how do you sync your e-Mails from the device with you computer/laptop?19:55
dobeywell, when google buys canonical and renames ubuntu phone to android19:56
popeystudio_, I connect my mail client on my phone to my server via imap19:56
popeystudio_, i use webmail on my laptop. so they're in sync19:56
dobeysrsly nobody "syncs" e-mails any more19:56
dobeythis isn't 200219:56
lotus|xeniallol19:56
popeyWell, you could run Mutt on the phone if you want.19:56
studio_popey, come on, how do you use gpg?19:56
popeyI don't.19:57
dobeymutt supports imap19:57
popeyI haven't used GPG for years19:57
popeyBecause nobody I ever email uses it.19:57
jibelah, no lotus notes for Ubuntu phone, so disappointed :(19:57
popey\o/ Domino!19:57
davmor2jibel: hahaha19:57
dobeyif you want gpg in dekko, go to #dekko and help them implement a reasonable user experience for it19:57
popeyI said "Wow, people still use domino?" to an IBMer recently, he was _really_ offended.19:57
studio_so you still send e-mail like an postcard?19:57
popey"YES!" he protested19:57
popeystudio_, no, because I use TLS19:58
dobeyno, you can't lace e-mails with anthrax19:58
studio_popey, why the update from the device is working over gpg?19:58
popeyI don't telnet to the imap server and type out imap commands to it19:58
dobeythe phone uses gpg just fine19:58
popeystudio_, I don't understand your question19:58
popeyit works well, except... that one time...19:59
dobeythere's a gpg key for the app store19:59
studio_popey, you know what gpg is and for what it is used?19:59
popeyOf course I do20:00
popeyJust because I choose not to use it, doesn't make my phone use any less valid.20:00
popeyMy mum never uses GPG either20:00
popeyNeither does _anyone_ I regularly send emails to.20:00
studio_so you never made an update on your device?20:00
popeyI said I don't use GPG for email.20:00
popeyI press a button to update my device20:00
studio_updates are using gpg20:01
popeyI don't care what it does underneath, it could be magic pixies for all I care20:01
popeyYes, I know.20:01
davmor2popey: GPG Grand Piano Gang?20:01
davmor2It's a classic group right?20:01
popeystudio_, so, again, back to your question, yes, I use my phone in a productive environment20:01
popeywhich - this may be a shocker for you - differs from the way you use a phone.20:01
* lpotter believes in magic pixies that update phones20:02
popeyI hope you were sitting down for that revalation.20:02
dobeystudio_: why are you still here?20:02
dobeystudio_: aren't you using android 5.0?20:02
davmor2studio_: so do I, in fact my job is completely dependant on them20:02
studio_popey, what is you default email-client?20:02
dobeynetcat20:02
popeyDekko.20:02
dobeybest e-mail client evar20:02
davmor2dekko20:02
dobeyi just have netcat running on port 25 and it dumps everything to /dev/null20:03
studio_can dekko handle smime or gpg?20:03
dobeyyou know the answer already20:03
studio_no?20:03
davmor2studio_: Not yet20:03
dobeythis is not #dekko20:03
popeyPatches welcome!20:03
dobeyif you want to ask questions about dekko, i suggest you seek support from its developers20:03
popeyI would love to see GPG support in dekko. That would be awesome.20:04
popeyMaybe I'd use GPG more if it did, who knows.20:04
davmor2popey: don't make me laugh20:04
studio_so, popey, your company prescribing you to send emails like an postcard?20:04
popeyI might, if it was made easy for normal people.20:05
popeystudio_, again, I don't use GPG20:05
popeystudio_, repeating it doesn't make it any more amusing20:05
dobeystudio_: we don't use e-mail20:05
dobeystudio_: we use RFC-1149 for sending messages20:05
davmor2dobey: is that carrier pigeon?20:05
dobeyyes20:05
davmor2nice20:06
studio_popey, again, what is canoncial using to encrypt emails?20:06
=== salem_ is now known as _salem
popeystudio_, that sounds like a question for the IS department20:06
popeyI just read and write mails, I don't administer the servers20:06
dobeya proprietary corn feed from Monsanto20:06
studio_popey, what is IS department?20:07
dobeyis totally how the RFC-1149 messages are encrypted20:07
popeyTechnical people20:07
popeyAgain, we don't have GPG support in Dekko, but it would be great if we did. Patches welcome studio_ !20:07
dobeye-mail is for suckers20:07
lpotterI prefer post-it notes folded into airplanes20:07
studio_popey, why isnn't thunderbird supported in ubuntu-touch?20:08
popeystudio_, because it requires X20:08
popeyThunderbird _will_ be able to be used in the future.20:08
lpotterand an interface redesign20:08
popeyBut not a mobile UI - you'd need to ask Mozilla about that20:08
popey(Thunderbird is their project, not ours)20:08
studio_popey, why isn't xmir supported in ubuntu-touch?20:08
davmor2studio_: because it lacks a mobile interface, is x only and requires more space than the moon20:09
dobeystudio_: why don't you read public announcements?20:09
popeystudio_, because it's not finished20:09
popeystudio_, it will be, soon enough.20:09
studio_ok20:09
dobeyif you want to be notified of when certain features will be available, and on what devices, then subscribe to the mailing list and actually read the status/announcement e-mails about such things20:10
popeyOk, are we done with the bizarre questions for today?20:10
=== _salem is now known as salem_
dobeypopey: you know the moebius never ends20:11
studio_popey, why bizarre? :)20:11
popeystudio_, s/bizarre/boring/20:11
popeymaybe repetitive?20:11
popeyDisruptive?20:11
dobeybecause you asked them 6 months ago, have been answered hundreds of times, and already know the answer20:11
popeyIrritating?20:11

studio_boring is ubuntu touch compared to ubuntu ...20:12
dobeyboring is what bores do20:12
popeyyou just reminded me of a joke I used to do when I was like 1520:13
dobeyhaha20:13
lpotterthat's like comparing a cucumber to a pickle20:13
popeyput index finger on arm of friend, rotate clockwise and anti-clockwise a few times20:13
dobeynot at all20:13

popey"Am I boring you?"20:13

* lotus|xenial thinks only idle will help this case20:37
studio_lotus|xenial, it is not "allowed" to make the device writeable, so how to install autofs, rsync and incron in a "normal" ubuntu-touch device?20:39
dobeyhttps://askubuntu.com/questions/620740/recommended-way-to-install-regularcli-deb-packages-on-ubuntu-phone/623311#62331120:40

studio_dobey, but the device needs to made writeable20:42
dobeyno it doesn't20:42
studio_ino?20:42
studio_no?20:42
dobeyread my answer there20:42
dobeythe / partition does not need to be made writable to create and us a chroot in the home directory20:43

popeyI'll let everyone figure out who that was aimed at20:44
dobeyrepublicans, obviously20:44
popeystudio_, my phone has rsync installed out of the box20:44
popeyif they're simple binaries, just extract them from the archive (or build them somewhere else) and copy them onto the device20:45
popeythats what I did when I wanted ncdu on my phone20:46
popeycopied the binary to ~/bin.20:46
studio_dobey, sorry i do not understand your link, i just want to "apt-get install" or "aptitude install" autofs rsync incron ...20:46
mcphailha!20:47
dobeymeh, it's still too early for me to go get pizza and beer and shoot things in the face20:47
mcphailbrilliant...20:47
dobeystudio_: then too bad20:47
popeystudio_, it is "allowed" to make your phone writable20:48
popeyit's _your_ device after all.20:48
studio_dobey, could you please explain me the "correct" way?20:48
dobeyif you can't understand the simplest way to create a chroot container, then you probably shouldn't be running such things. but if you want to break your device feel free20:48
dobeydon't come crying in here for support because you broke your device by doing what you were told would definitely break your device, though20:49
studio_i understood a chroot-container, but for what?20:49
dobeyyou want to run legacy tools on your phone20:49
dobeythat is the best way to do it20:49
dobeyit is exactly the same if you want to run said legacy tools on android, so don't go pulling that threatening crap about flashing android, because it's bollocks20:50

dobeywtf are you talking about?20:54
dobeyi'm not hawaiian. i don't much care for spam20:54

mcphailI don't know if my bladder can take this20:57
popeychroot is a *bit* advanced20:57
dobeyare autofs, rsync, or incron in the app store?20:57
popeyThe thing is, you're playing the _part_ of a user, but you're actually very technical.20:57
lotus|xenialmcphail: working directly on the nerv-system :p20:58
popeyWhich is why people call you a troll, because you're asking questions which you know the answer for, but are deliberately being a doofus to prove some kind of point.20:58
mcphaillotus|xenial: this channel is better than the telly20:58
dobeyno. they are not. therefore any answer is advanced, becasue it is not "install it from the app store"20:58
popeyIt's mildly entertaining for a while. But gets boring quickly.20:58
popeyYou're way past that now.20:58

dobeyman, the fonts on that forum are really really bad for 4K21:27

mcphailRebooted into OTA8 and I have that annoying white pixel in the top left corner. Why does it do that sometimes?21:40
OerHeksmaybe one colour-cel in your screen is broken ..21:42
popeythat's the tracking pixel ;)21:42
mcphailooh -it has gone again. I can't be of interest :)21:42

louisdkWould it be possible to install Ubuntu Touch on the Aquaris E5 edition with 4G and 2GB ram? If one would flash the ubuntu touch image to it would it brick?22:15
sverzegnassiCould someone confirm this is an unwanted behaviour? On OTA-8, I launch 'Monster Wars', wait for the app to be launched, turn off the screen -> the app stops reproducing audio (the app has been freezed, I suppose).22:32
sverzegnassiIf I launch 'Monster Wars' again, and turn off the screen before the app is fully loaded, the app keeps playing some audio even if the screen is turned off.22:32
sverzegnassi(Replace 'Monster Wars' with any app, just saw this while launching that game)22:33
ahayzensverzegnassi, jhodapp maybe best to ask about that if its happening all the time22:34
nhainesCan anyone confirm this unwanted behavior on OTA-8?  I tried to send email not as a postcard, but GPG isn't supported yet so all email communication is impossible.22:37
sverzegnassihaha22:38
ahayzennhaines, don't start that again ;-)22:39
sverzegnassiahayzen, thanks for pinging! actually it seems to happen all the time... hope it's just about media-hub ;)22:40
ahayzen:-)22:40
popeyElleo, do you know of some way to route the OSK to an SDL app? (e.g. http://people.canonical.com/~alan/screenshots/device-2015-11-19-184911.png )23:13
popeyso for SDL games where you have to type in a character name or something23:13
jhodappsverzegnassi, surely it's not every app, sounds to me like it might just be apps that directly play sounds via Qt -> Pulseaudio23:30
nhainespopey: have you ever used dosbox in a "productive environment"?23:32
popeyhttp://linux.softpedia.com/blog/watch-doom-first-person-shooter-video-game-running-on-ubuntu-phone-496446.shtml23:33
popeyyes :)23:33
nhainespopey: If you've ever run VisiCalc or Microsoft Works in dosbox then you know what I'm talking about.  ;)23:33
popeyI was more of a Lotus 123 kinda guy23:33
popeyand then As-Easy-As 12323:33
nhainesHehe.23:33
popeyAlso, turbo pascal...23:34
popeyhappy days23:34
popeyoh no, my brain is now recalling Ashton-Tate dBase III23:34
nhainesI was a QuickBASIC guy, but oh, now I miss Terminate and BBSes...23:34
sverzegnassijhodapp: I've tried also with Falldown, which is a QML app and I happens the same. I tried with PathWind and seems there's some magic that mutes the audio.23:34
nhainesProbably because the flow of time has worn away all the annoying bits....23:34
Elleopopey: typically you need some sort of IME plugin in the toolkit for the keyboard to talk to when using maliit, which exists for Qt and GTK but I suspect there isn't anything for SDL23:34
Elleopopey: might be possible to wrap an SDL app in Qt and do it that way though23:35
sverzegnassiDon't know how media-hub works, though23:35
jhodappsverzegnassi, yeah most likely these apps aren't going through media-hub23:35
OerHekssome miss the dailup sound to the internet23:35
jhodappsverzegnassi, QML calls into normal C++ Qt23:35
popeyElleo, ok. ta23:35
sverzegnassijhodapp: huh, ok. I supposed that media-hub stuff were forced somehow into a QML environment.23:36
nhainesTell me when media-hub supports GPG!23:36
* nhaines stops trolling and goes back to work.23:36
mcphailjhodapp: afaik, openal apps don't get muted and the volume control doesn't work at all23:36
Elleopopey: although I expect for something like doom adding some onscreen controls would be better, since the keyboard takes up a lot of the screen with keys that aren't needed for a game23:36
popeyhmm, good point23:36
mcphailElleo: but an onscreen keyboard would give an easy win for lots of existing games23:37
jhodappsverzegnassi, it is, but if an app uses say the SoundEffect object, that calls directly to pulse and skips media-hub as it's supposed to be a very low latency bringup23:37
popeyElleo, for some games (like Xcom) you only really need the keyboard now and then, to enter player name for example23:37
jhodappmcphail, interesting23:37
nhainesI can't wait to play Doom with the Steam Controller.  Although actually it'll probably be Dark Forces first.23:38
mcphailjhodapp: try http://themcphails.uk/altest.njmcphail_0.1_armhf.click for an example23:38
Elleopopey: yeah, in that case I'd suggest a Qt wrapper with a little "show keyboard" button, so it isn't there when it isn't needed23:38
Elleopopey: like the terminal23:38
popeyElleo, know any examples of wrapping an sdl app in qt?23:38
jhodappmcphail, have the source to that?23:38
mcphailjhodapp: i think i might have left the source in the click itself23:39
popeynhaines, I have a bluetooth controller her, hoping to get that working soon23:39
Elleopopey: afraid not23:39
popeyk23:39
jhodappok23:39
mcphailjhodapp: yes, the source is in there23:41
nhainespopey: +123:41
Elleopopey: looking at one example I think a lot will depend on what Mir and the Mir SDL backend support, since they're basically telling SDL to render in to a specific window id23:41
Elleopopey: which may not be an option with Mir yet23:41
sverzegnassijhodapp: thanks for the explanation! Btw, I've already reported it in the Canonical System Image project, bug 1518122, since it looked to me as something a bit annoying.23:41
ubot5bug 1518122 in Canonical System Image "Launch Falldown/Monster Wars and turn off screen before the app is ready ---> the app keeps reproducing audio" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/151812223:42
mcphailsverzegnassi: isn't that an extension of the bug I exploit to keep apps running in the background? If there is no gui, the app doesn't stop when the screen goes off23:44
=== IdleOne- is now known as IdleOne
jhodappsverzegnassi, thanks...I'm doing a quick investigation just to see if it does in fact utilize media or not which will help me categorize that bug report better23:46
sverzegnassijhodapp: thanks again!23:47
sverzegnassimcphail: that's really interesting!23:47
mcphailsverzegnassi: my syncthing app on the store exploits it to run in the background23:48
jhodappsverzegnassi, I reproduced that bug23:48
jhodappsverzegnassi, and I know why it's happening23:48
jhodappsverzegnassi, yeah it's a bug in the life cycle exception handler23:51
jhodappsverzegnassi, I just did a test, when you shut the screen off during the splash screen, the app doesn't get suspended23:52
sverzegnassijhodapp: ouch... seems like mcphail's app won't be working in future. sorry! :-)23:53
mcphailsverzegnassi: they've been threatening to fix that bug for months. I won't worry yet :)23:54
sverzegnassihaha23:54
