mcphailsturmflut2: If you're keen to get a proper IRC app working, the quassel backend runs on the phone (and can keep running in the background). Just needs someone clever to write/port a frontend00:02

mtk300How do I enable multi touch on a screen/touchscreen running ubuntu?12:09
davmor2mtk300: it already is that is how pinch to zoom works12:13
mtk300davmor2: Then how do I enable pinch/zoom. I only currently have single touch.12:15
davmor2mtk300: what device?12:15
mtk300davmor2: It is a development setup. I have a 10 inch screen with the n-trig overlay. The processing comes from a raspberry pi running ubuntu.12:18
davmor2mtk300: ah then it might be a driver flaw in that case. The driver on my dell xps 13  is working on X server with pinch to zoom, as are all the mobile devices we support12:19
davmor2mtk300: not sure who would be best to help you debug it either sorry12:20
mtk300davmor2: Thanks anyway.12:21

jgdxjhodapp, hey, is there a media hub dbus api unconfined services can use to play sounds?14:55
jhodappjgdx, what do you mean by unconfined in this instance...what are you trying to do?14:58
jgdxjhodapp, I want to play a sound from ubuntu-push using media hub14:59
jhodappjgdx, can't you just use the QtMultimedia Audio component?14:59
jgdxjhodapp, sure, but it's go14:59
jgdxI'd much rather use dbus15:00
jhodappjgdx, that's not currently supported, only qtubuntu-media directly uses the media-hub client library15:00
jhodappjgdx, the plan is to have a platform-api set of calls to do exactly what you want, but nobody has ever created it15:01
jgdxjhodapp, right. Okay, I'll go for qtmultimedia.15:02
jgdxjhodapp, thanks!15:02
jhodappjgdx, np, good luck15:02
tvossjgdx, why would push play a sound?15:15
tvossjgdx, that's the job of the notifications, isn't it?15:17
jgdxtvoss, push code does not make that distinction currently.15:17
tvossjgdx, hmmm, so I got the impression that you are adding that feature to the push daemon on the phone, wondering why15:18
jgdxtvoss, no, the feature is there, but it's broken.15:18
jgdxtvoss, are you saying I could use a notification api and have it play sounds?15:18
tvossjgdx, hmmm, do you have a link handy?15:18
jgdxtvoss, 2 sec15:19
tvossjgdx, well, push used to be responsible for receiving data and handing out data to helpers, that's it15:19
tvossjgdx, the helpers would then translate to notifications, which can also carry sound hints15:19
tvossSaviq, correct me if I'm wrong please ^15:19
jgdxoh man I'd love to rip the sound stuff out, if that's the case.15:20
jgdxtvoss, here postal has a concept of a Presenter [1], and one of those is "sound" [2]. [1] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-push-hackers/ubuntu-push/automatic/view/head:/client/service/postal.go#L172 [2] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-push-hackers/ubuntu-push/automatic/view/head:/sounds/sounds.go#L4515:21
Saviqtvoss, jgdx, notifications can play sounds yes15:22
Saviqtvoss, it won't be as simple as that, soon, because with the redesign of notifications we'll need a central place where they get stored (across reboots), re-triggered on demand and a few other things, unity8 needs to become just the renderer for whatever the "post office" tells it to display - on the greeter, as a bubble, in the messaging indicator etc.15:23
Saviqand yeah, we need to decide on where all the different bits and pieces live - waking the device up, turning the screen on (with{,out} proximity) etc.15:25
tvossSaviq, sure, that's the post office15:25
tvossthe central place15:25
Saviqyes15:25
tvossbut yes, we need to actually write that stuff down15:26
Saviqshould likely deal with incoming push, too, no need for a separate thing to deal just with push15:26
tvossSaviq, yup15:30
tvossSaviq, push is just one source15:30
=== chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun
jgdxwhat are the time frames here? Should we not invest in fixing push?15:30
jgdxtvoss, ^15:31
jgdxkenvandine, what's the story on custom notification sounds?15:32
tvossSaviq, I *thought* that push right now would just assemble a notification and hand it over to the notification service, which happens to be implementedby unity, which then plays the sound15:34

dobeykenvandine: do you have mediascanner-2.0 running?17:59
kenvandineyup17:59
dobeykenvandine: is the db corrupt? :)17:59
kenvandinei removed it all17:59
kenvandineand started over17:59
kenvandinejust tells me to import music :/17:59
dobeyhuh. i'd expect it should work as long as nothing is wrong with mediascanner, and it scanned your music18:00
kenvandineyeah18:01
kenvandinehow can i confirm mediascanner scanned my music?18:01
dobeyopen the db with sqlite3 and check the contents of the tables i guess?18:02
dobeyis your hdd light going crazy? :)18:03
kenvandineok... that's it18:03
kenvandineno music in the db18:03
kenvandinebut there are pictures18:03
popeykenvandine, is your music dir called ~/Music ? and tail the mediascanner log and see if its running or dying18:34
popey(It dies under some circumstances, like if you have webm videos on the machine)18:34
popey(that bug may be fixed, others may still be apparent)18:34
kenvandinepopey, it is ~/Music18:35
kenvandinelog only lists entries in ~/Pictures18:35
kenvandineand the process is running18:36
kenvandinepopey, i do have webm videos somewhere, but it's not dying18:36
popeykenvandine, maybe it just hasn't got to your music yet?18:37
popeyit's not the fastest daemon18:37
popeyespecially when you have 12 years of photos on your machine18:37
kenvandinebeen a few hours :)18:37
kenvandinethe tail doesn't look active18:38
kenvandineand actually... mediascanner-2.0 was running before i even tried running music-app18:38
kenvandinenot something i just started, i guess it's been running for a while18:38
popeyI think it uses some xdirs thing in .config to determine what folders to scan18:38
kenvandinei'm running vivid+overlay18:38
popeyso if it's not scanning music that may be why18:38
kenvandineXDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/"18:39
kenvandinewtf!18:39
popeyhahaha18:40
* popey points and laughs18:40
popeybet you deleted your ~/Music at some point in the past18:40
popey(I did this too)18:40
popeyand it did the same to me18:40
kenvandineyears ago it was a symlink18:40
kenvandinebut i moved that to a regular directory like in natty...18:40
kenvandinethis has been broken for a really long time :)18:40
kenvandinebanshee never complained :)18:41
* kenvandine ducks18:41
popeyMono is evil. Etc.18:42
davmor2popey: I disagree Stereo is evil particularly if one speaker breaks18:43
popeySt                        ereo18:44
kenvandinehaha18:49
kenvandinepopey, ok... so that worked18:49
popeySweet!18:50
kenvandinenot playing the music now, but i assume that's because i don't have media-hub installed :)18:50
kenvandineinstalling media-hub didn't fix that... popey, ideas?18:52
kenvandinealthough i have enough working for my current need, importing ringtones in settings :)18:53
popeyrun it from terminal and see what it's doing?18:53
kenvandinei am, nothing output that seems to reflect that it's not playing18:53
kenvandineit thinks it's playing, just no sound18:53
kenvandineah ha!18:54
kenvandineweird, qmlscene was turned all the way down to 018:54
kenvandineanyway... thanks!18:54

dobeybut pretty sure it's not working20:39
tedgCool, so confused with all the channel names :-)20:40
tedgEh, I figured it was "mostly broken," but that's okay for now.20:40
tedgNot a daily driver thing.20:40
dobeyi'm not sure it boots yet :)20:40
tedgHmm, devel-proposed didn't require downloading anything. Seems odd it'd be in my cache.20:41
dobeyubuntu-touch/devel-proposed/ubuntu would be the full channel name20:46
jgdxdobey, I'm trying to land automatic -> vivid-overlay. It seems I have to cherry pick fixes?20:50

jgdxthe former or the latter?20:51
dobeyjgdx: do a dual landing20:51
dobeyjgdx: either20:51

sveppirhi, I just got an ubuntu phone and want to get my hands dirty on some coding.  First thing is the icelandic keyboard that is unusable.  How do I proceed?  I have joined launchapd, but there is no discussion there.  Sorry if this is not the right venue for this type of question.  I'm still trying to figure out where the famous ubuntu community hangs out22:00
dobeysveppir: if there's a problem with the icelandic keyboard, i guess you probably need to file a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-keyboard about the issues22:03
dobeywell, one or more bugs, depending on how many issues there are :)22:03
sveppircool22:04
sveppirit just looks randomly generated22:04
k1lthats what icelandic looks as a language to me :)22:05
sveppirhaha, there is still a need for structure at the base of that randomness22:08
sveppirBug has been filed22:08
sveppirI wanted to fix it on my phone22:09
sveppirgot the ubuntu-sdk, branched the keyboard, changed the layout, but am having troubles building it22:09
sveppirlatest one is : :-1: error: cannot find -lubuntu_application_api22:10
mcphailsveppir: I think Elleo makes the keyboard. He may be able to give you more build instructions?22:23
sveppirthanks, I'll ping him22:29
mcphailsveppir: looks as if he is afk just now. Always best to ask in European office hours - most people are around then22:30
sveppirthanks mcphail, I'll check on him tomorrow then22:37
a10b87a10feea58eIs this commit going to get merged? http://askubuntu.com/questions/674179/ubuntu-device-flash-fails-on-nexus-7-2013-android-5-0-2-cant-copy-image-to22:46
a10b87a10feea58eHardware: "rev_e" needs it22:47
dobeywhat commit?22:49
dobeyafaik, compat with android 5 is being worked on. when that compatibility is fixed so should the ability to flash to a device with android 5 already on it22:51
a10b87a10feea58eThe one in the answer. From Asus22:51
dobeyif you want an easy workaround, flash android 4.4 onto the device, and then flash ubuntu onto it22:51
a10b87a10feea58eUbuntu uses the original os?22:52
dobeyoh, though if the hardware changed, then it might indeed require kernel changes22:52
a10b87a10feea58eAnyway older kernels can't boot rev e. You need to change one if statement, then its fine22:52
a10b87a10feea58eThe version changed to 6 for emmc. I don't know anything about emmc but the Asus commit works in android world, so it should in Ubuntu touch22:54
=== elopio_ is now known as elopio
dobeyno, the change is from 6 to 722:54
a10b87a10feea58eYeah.22:54
dobeyubuntu is built using the stock android kernel, but i don't know when it was last rebuilt for that device.22:56
dobeythat change seems weird to me too22:56
a10b87a10feea58eWhich android kernel?22:56
a10b87a10feea58eThere's loads22:56
dobeynot the 5.x kernel22:56
dobeyas i said, compatibility with android 5 is being worked on, afaik22:57
dobeybut all our images are based on the android 4.4 trees at the moment22:57
a10b87a10feea58eThat commit won't go straight to 4.4 branch, so that might be an issue. But if you don't change anything from googles flo kernel I think it should be able to boot 5 kernel with 4.4 device22:59
a10b87a10feea58eDo you have a gerrit for touch?23:00
dobeythere are some small changes to the kernel, to enable apparmor and such23:00
dobeyi don't know, i don't work on the kernel or supporting new devices23:00
a10b87a10feea58eDon't blame you, stay as far away as possible23:01
a10b87a10feea58eHard enough in android land, touch is all new to me23:01
dobeyanyway, i have to go23:04
a10b87a10feea58eThanks anyway23:05
