[03:15] <duflu> RAOF (I know you're away right now): Is this also your domain? - https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1499229
[04:20] <RAOF> duflu: Yeah, it is.
[10:52] <maikeul> Hello, I have a very basic question regarding running Xmir on an ubuntu phone (meizu), the connection is rejected by the server and I just cannot find a log or indications on how to allow this.
[10:53] <anpok> maikeul: you have to add a parameter --desktop_file_hint= iirc that tells unity8 which application it is dealing with
[10:53] <anpok> it otherwise tries to figure out the app id.. and that will fail
[10:53] <maikeul> ha thanks i will investigate this, i did not understood it was required
[10:53] <maikeul> undertand sorry
[10:54] <anpok> hm people at #ubuntu-unity shoud know more details
[10:54] <maikeul> thanks a lot
[10:54] <anpok> the parameter needs just one valid .desktop file..
[10:58] <maikeul> i'll just investigate this and eventually ask on the unity channel, thanks, so far i still get rejected
[10:59] <anpok> what parameter do you supply for mirSocket?
[11:00] <anpok> oh logs say rejcted..
[11:00] <anpok> nm, then it is the right one already..
[11:00] <maikeul> the one in /var/run
[11:22] <sturmflut> Does anybody know if GTK has a Mir backend? I think I read about it being patched for Mir, but that was a long time ago.
[11:29] <anpok> gtk3 has
[11:29] <anpok> yes and it is upstream
[11:31] <anpok> but on ubuntu-touch devices there are problems with the supported pixel formats.. none match the ones that cairo currently supports.. (I believe the backend currently tries to use software rendering)
[11:32] <anpok> or the opposite and that turns out to be a problem.. I havent looked in detail
[12:07] <sturmflut> anpok: Thanks for the detailed reply!
[12:07] <mcphail> sturmflut: if you get this working, can you let me know?
[12:12] <anpok> sturmflut: oh things have changed:
[12:12] <anpok> https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/gdk/mir/gdkmirwindowimpl.c?id=af5792f14126382705b2de328e4266f03ad1f824
[16:19] <maikeul> is there a repo/ppa where to get the latest builds for Xmir ?
[19:45] <bregma> maikeul, the latest version should be available in the vivid+overlay PPA, which should be in the sources on your device already
[19:47] <bregma> maikeul, just be aware there is no official support for running X11 apps directly on your phone
