dholbachgood morning07:41
diwictvoss, hi, did you ever get your translation change that you requested last week? If not I can probably fix it today.09:09
tvossdiwic, nope, did not get to that09:10
tvossdiwic, change would be appreicated :)09:10
diwictvoss, silo 47, right?09:11
JamesTaitGood morning all; happy Tuesday, and happy Pretend To Be A Time Traveler Day! 😃10:13
diwicJamesTait, sorry, Tuesday in what year?10:15
JamesTaitdiwic, 2319 of course!10:15
diwicJamesTait, oh, that explains why my facebook page shows no cat pictures today...humans must have evolved!10:16
JamesTaitTuesday, the 42nd rotation of the 17th cycle, of the year 2319 of the new age of the post-enlightenment.10:17
JamesTaitAlthough I can't help feeling I've been here before....10:18
JamesTaitHumans were extincted long ago. Extincted themselves, in fact.10:19
diwicpost enlightenment? Back in my days, enlightenment was a display manager, not an http server10:20
mcphailJamesTait: Does bluetooth work on the Ubuntu Phone yet, in 2319? ;)10:22
diwicBluetooth is no more. There is no need for colors, nor for teeth. We use more efficient methods of visualization and digesting.10:23
JamesTaitmcphail, only for input, as far as I've been able to tell. Occasionally I've heard reports of it also working with in-vehicle voice kits, but I'm not sure if I believe them.10:24
* mcphail is losing hope it will connect to his flying car10:25
davmor2JamesTait: I'll take a video of it working with voice control in my car :P10:26
NwSHeya guys, are there any news of a new Ubuntu phone yet?11:06
davmor2NwS: not yet no why?11:16
NwSdavmor2, I'm waiting for a new model so I can replace my current smartphone :P11:16
NwSSince you know the Meizu is sold out plus from what people told me it can't support convergence11:18
lotuspsychjeNwS: you can buy a nexus4 or a bq 4.5?11:22
NwSI prefer to wait for an official Ubuntu phone instead of a gphone. And Bq is kinda ugly :/11:23
lotuspsychjei have a bq, nothing wrong with it11:23
NwS"kinda ugly" personal opinion :P11:23
lotuspsychjeNwS: maybe someone sells his meizu second hand in your region?11:35
svijNwS: a new convergence phone is supposed to launch "early next year" from bq11:35
lotuspsychjeNwS: their also working on an LG with ubuntu touch atm11:36

lotuspsychjesturmflut: thanks for info11:46
NwSty for the info lotuspsychje & svij11:46
lotuspsychjesturmflut: you still working on the one+one aswell?11:46
lotuspsychjeit all sounds very promising11:46
svijlotuspsychje: it was mariogrip who worked on one+one i think11:49
lotuspsychjeoh right i confused tnx11:49
lotuspsychjesturmflut showed up on many articles too, thats why :p11:50
sturmflutlotuspsychje: I tried to build Ubuntu for the Aquaris M5, but decided to not devote any more time to it because porting Ubunt/Android is a time-consuming process and my time is most likely better spent on solving bugs that affect all devices11:50
lotuspsychjesturmflut: understandable :p11:50
sturmflutAlso I lost all faith in humanity when I looked at the Android source code and build system11:52
lotuspsychjewhen i hear android my hair comes up :p11:52
sturmflutA guy posted an excellent comment on this to the ML today11:54
sturmflut"I guess the lesson is people who enjoy phones and sausages shouldn't watch either of them being made."11:54
lotuspsychjelol11:55
lotuspsychjeyou never know whats inside11:55

kenvandineMirv, your recent patch to qtbase5 seems to be causing system-settings to crash on startup, but seems to be only on the desktop with vivid + stable overlay15:13
kenvandineMirv, the crash is in qnmbearer15:14
kenvandineMirv, stacktrace http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/13825552/15:14
Mirvkenvandine: not my patch though15:33
Mirvkenvandine: if you think there's something to fix ping Tony, but the general idea is to have that as a quick hotfix and work on connectivity-api bearer (I did draft packaging at  lp:~timo-jyrinki/+junk/connectivity-api-bearer ) to replace the NM bearer even for OTA-915:34
kenvandineawe_, ^^15:37
kenvandineawe_, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/13825552/15:37
awe_kenvandine, hmmm...  is that critical enough to block the OTA?15:43
awe_can we get the OTA out, and then shoot for a fix asap?15:45
kenvandineawe_, well it makes hacking on settings incredibly painful :/15:47
kenvandineawe_, any ideas why it causes the crash on desktop only?15:49
awe_kenvandine, cause desktop users typically used Wired/Ethernet15:52
awe_and phones users don't15:53
awe_looks like the crash is the QNetworkManagerInterfaceDeviceWired class15:53
awe_kenvandine, can you file a bug and assign to me?15:54
awe_we can work on getting a fix after ota8.5 leaves the building15:55
kenvandinewill do15:55
awe_sorry for the hacking pain15:55
kenvandine8.5?15:55
awe_um, yes15:55
awe_have you read the landing emails lately?15:55
awe_;)-15:55
kenvandinei guess not :)15:55
awe_so basically, this fix gets rid of a ton of unecessary NM DBus logic that impacts any Qt app which uses QNetworkAccessManager15:56
awe_we're planning on moving to an even newer plugin for OTA915:56
awe_which will replace the NM plugin with our own as Mirv mentioned above15:57
kenvandineawe_, bug 152397516:00
ubot5bug 1523975 in qtbase-opensource-src (Ubuntu) "system-settings crashes on startup with 5.4.1+dfsg-2ubuntu11~vivid1 " [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/152397516:00
awe_kenvandine, I would say "High" vs. "Critical".  I will see if I can get something done before the break, but can't drop everything for this16:05
kenvandineawe_, ok16:05
awe_how much other stuff gets pulled in when you install qtbase?16:06
kenvandinenot sure16:07
awe_well, how do you install?16:07
kenvandineanyone with uitk has it16:07
awe_uitk?16:07
kenvandineit's libqt5network516:07
kenvandineubuntu-ui-toolkit16:08
kenvandineif you install ubuntu-system-settings from the overlay ppa you'll see the crash16:08
awe_right, so you add the overlay PPA as a PPA to your desktop16:08
kenvandineyeah16:08
awe_then update ubuntu-system-settings?16:08
kenvandinehave to for phone development16:08
kenvandineand libqt5network516:09
kenvandinejust apt-get upgrade :)16:09
awe_I do all my devel on the phone16:09
awe_no modem on my desktop16:09
awe_different wifi drivers, ...16:09
kenvandineyeah16:09
awe_I'll add a note to the original bug, maybe lorn might come up with a quicker fix16:10
bs_Hi guys, quick question, I want to test Touch on my old Nexus 4. However, I use Mint not Ubuntu, can I get away with using the same process as if I were using Ubuntu or am I best using Ubuntu to do it?16:20
dobeybs_: install phablet-tools, or you may need to add the PPA mentioned in the docs to get the latest version, and then use ubuntu-device-flash just the same as in in the instructions16:23
bs_ok, thanks. Thought I'd be ok on Mint, but thought it best to check! :)16:25

thepeterHi :)20:17
dobeyhi20:17
thepetergot kind of "design" question ... I know that on PC ubuntu there has been talk about it and what is let's say outcome but friend which is left-handed actually asked me (he's already owning ubuntu phone) if is possible to show the "menu" from right side of the screen :D20:20
lotuspsychjethepeter: default bar goes left mate20:21
thepeterI've been googling it but I can't find out anything on it  :D20:21
dobeyno, there is currently no option to swap the left/right swiping afaik20:21
thepeteruhm okay :D I've expected it :P20:22
thepeterdobey: but is it ... you know "the dead end"? or do you think that it might just happend in time?20:23
thepeterpersonaly I don't have this issue but just to communitace him it the right way20:24
thepeterbtw to anybody responsible for the last OTA - great thanks for that since battery life is almost doubled on BQ Aquaris 5 :) I really appreciate it20:27
dobeyi can't say if it will ever be implemented or not. i don't know20:29
dobeyi can say "file a bug about it" though :)20:29
lotuspsychjethepeter: we have other users with existing bugs on bettery life20:31
thepeterhehe I've been actually thinking about it (regarding "lefthanded" support wish)20:32
thepeterlotuspsychje: on bq 5 I can confirm that it is much better after the last OTA, and I would buy a drink to the one who resolved it if it would be possible20:34
lotuspsychjei have 4.5 here and no issues20:35
lotuspsychjemcphail: around?20:35
thepeterlotuspsychje: me neither what I am saying that battery now holds almost twice longer than before - I am not complaining I am expressing my kindest thanks for this improvement :)20:36
