[00:36] he guys [00:36] I have an iview i would like to install touch on. [00:37] im running into some differences in the install process but this device looks like it should be rather simple..its got developer mode enabled out of the box. === timchen1` is now known as timchen119 === hi is now known as Guest88658 [07:17] good morning [09:12] is popey in? [09:13] lol [09:14] yeah, stupid internet connection [09:14] wassup? [09:14] This went down yesterday? [09:15] Dunno if you remember but I had an incorrect artist picture in my music [09:15] I checked the ID3 tags using easytag, it ,looked ok [09:16] Just wondered if you had any other suggestions or should I file a bug? [09:17] i do recall, yes [09:19] I would file a bug, but you'll probably need to provide one of the offending audio files so someone can reproduce it.. [09:20] ok thx [09:22] So is the OTA 8.5 out yet? [09:23] pass [09:23] I just connected [09:23] Think it's imminent.... [09:23] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/ReleaseNotes/OTA-8.5 says not yet [09:24] Looking forward to OTA9 so I can connect my bluetooth keyboard.. [09:30] popey. Just thinking about it, I'll do another test with another album by this band where I hadn't converted it from a record. If it's still wrong then I'll file a bug [09:30] tbh it's going to be hard, for tracks like that === ecloud_wfh is now known as ecloud [09:34] Yeah we'll see, don't want to waste anyones time on an obscure band no one else has probably heard of from the mp3 converted from analogue lol [09:37] Good morning all; happy Wednesday, and happy Day Of Reconciliation! 😃 === ara is now known as Guest6835 === ara_ is now known as ara === sil2100 changed the topic of #ubuntu-touch to: Home: http://bit.ly/YEqEfo | Install: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install | Porting (advanced) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting | Bug filing: http://bit.ly/1aV9AJG | Dashboard: http://bit.ly/12AQV53 | Changelog: http://bit.ly/1ljube1 | http://www.bq.com/gb/ubuntu.html | http://www.meizu.com/products/ubuntu.html | OTA-8.5 phased update in progress! [11:41] hiya [11:42] will I lose my user data (contacts, photos...) if I ubuntu-device-flash? [11:45] RTE89, no, as long as you do not pass --wipe or flash from the bootloader iirc [11:46] I see [11:47] I'm getting this errors. Already enabled developer mode and the device is connected (and MTP mounted automatically): [11:47] *these [11:47] Expecting the device to expose an adb interface... [11:47] Cannot determine the device name: exit status 255 [11:48] also adb complains it cannot find the device when I try to use adb shell [11:55] RTE89, the phone is in dev mode? [11:55] yup [11:56] what's the device? [11:56] Aquaris E5 [11:59] adb devices is empty? [12:00] maybe adb doesn't know the device due to it being old. Maybe try http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14048970/ ? [12:01] that did it === mzanetti_ is now known as mzanetti [12:02] thank you [12:04] is it ok to be in the rc channel instead of stable? [12:04] do things break often? [12:04] RTE89, np. Yes. [12:05] will there be frequent updates though? [12:05] daily [12:05] mmh ok [12:06] it's okay if you feedback the bugs you find, not okay if you expect an image with tons of qa :) [12:06] because there will be bugs [12:07] RTE89: rc-proposed is updated daily, rc is what become stable, if this is your only phone I recommend staying on stable [12:07] jgdx: of course [12:07] davmor2: I see, thanks [12:20] can i send all ubuntu phone traffic via vpn? [12:23] vandenoever: openvpn is currently installed but you would need to enable it via the terminal, hopefully coming soon will be a full system-settings way of setting up a vpn [12:24] davmor2: ok, so is there also a way to send all http and https via a proxy e.g. privoxy? [12:24] davmor2: of course with vpn, i could do that serverside [12:24] vandenoever: not currently === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk [12:49] I've got a custom ringtone I'd like to use. If I copy it to /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/ringtones, will I lose it on the next update? [12:58] I -o remount,rw'd and copied it there. Better than nothing === oever is now known as vandenoever === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader [13:18] RTE89, you will [13:18] RTE89, can't you just use System Settings? I think we have custom ringtones in OTA8 [13:34] jgdx: there are custom alarm sounds, but not ringtones [13:35] RTE89, okay, then maybe that's ota9 [13:35] nice [13:35] RTE89, if you put a sound in .local/share/sounds… it should work IIRC. [13:35] I think that's a part of xdg data dirs [13:40] I moved it from /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/ringtones/ to ~/.local/share/sounds/ubuntu/ringtones/ (had to create most of the destination tree) and it seems to work, but we'll see [13:41] Yeah, I think that did it [13:56] anyone who knows what's new in version 28? === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g [13:59] apparently not enough for you to wait for an answer [14:02] davmor2: lol [14:03] davmor2: btw, is there a roadmap I can check out? [14:04] davmor2, i love the old drive-by help me messages [14:04] davmor2, they're funny [14:05] RTE89: there are the milestones you can find them in launchpad https://launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+milestone/ww02-2016 is the current ota9 one [14:06] brendand: meh [14:07] davmor2: ty [14:10] wow, these people are working their asses off [14:14] RTE89: it's only an guestimate some will be moved onto the next milestone, it's like the "this is what we'd like to hit", lets see how we do kinda measure :) [14:14] RTE89: holidays, illness, projects taking longer than anticipated all have knock on effects [14:19] I hope I'll get some free time soon. I'd like to get my hands dirty and there are still a lot of basic apps missing (like an FTP client) [14:26] RTE89: there's a terminal app why would you need ftp ;) [14:35] what's best for popmail on ubuntu phone? [14:36] I think dekko (future official app) [14:36] ok, cool i found it [14:36] dekko doesn't support pop yet [14:36] oh [14:36] I only use imap ^^ [14:37] patches welcome though :-D [14:38] probably some kde frameworks libs could help [14:41] vandenoever: erm possibly not, if you use kde frameworks that will pull in most of kde's lib/file controls etc etc You might be able to find a qt pop lib but the trojita project is only imap which is what dekko was based on [14:42] davmor2: as far as i know, kde frameworks has become very modular with each module requiring as little as possible [14:42] dekko's search seems to come up with the same messages no matter what you search for [14:44] vandenoever: you would still require a lot of lib and files that are not on the system, that's my point [14:59] tvoss: hi! When you have some time, I'd appreciate your directives on https://code.launchpad.net/~mardy/location-service/providers-dir/+merge/280724 [14:59] mardy, sure, will be later today, though [15:00] tvoss: excellent. And don't bother with an in-depth review, I'd just like to know if overall you think that the direction is good (the MP description contains a few questions to you) [15:00] mardy, perfect, thank you [15:07] i've trouble getting my meizu mx into the mode where i can flash it [15:08] i try holding lower volume + power [15:08] disconnect the usb cable when you do it [15:09] ah, what should the screen look like on success? [15:12] vandenoever, you just see small text that its in fastboot [15:12] black bacground [15:13] pmcgowan: ok got that and send the recovery.img, now i rebooted to 'recovery mode' [15:13] which shows only ubuntu logo on purple [15:15] "Cannot cleanup tree to ensure clean deploymentexit status 255" [15:17] vandenoever: what recovery image are you using and what are you attempting to do [15:17] hi all [15:18] davmor2: i'm using the image from here: http://people.canonical.com/~alextu/tangxi/master/device_arale.tar.xz [15:18] davmor2: i want to flash to a new release because the version i have does not do owa [15:18] putting the recovery.img seems to have worked [15:19] now trying to run "ubuntu-device-flash touch --clean-cache --device arale --channel ubuntu-touch/stable/meizu.en" [15:19] is anyone even get the issue on a nexus 4, some touch screen area are non functional after a ubuntu install. I saw same issue with older android (was a kernel problem) ? [15:20] vandenoever: "ubuntu-device-flash touch --device arale --channel ubuntu-touch/stable/meizu.en --recovery-img /path/to/recovery.img" [15:20] current version is 'Ubuntu 15.04 (r4)' [15:21] davmor2: unknown flag `recovery image' [15:21] CoZo: sounds like a hardware problem [15:22] vandenoever: --recovery-image sorry [15:23] dobey: yes, i saw the same pb here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/section-touch-screen-t2232903 that why i wonder about a kernel fact [15:23] davmor2: still unknown :-/ unbuntu-device-flash 0.2+14.04.20140416.2-0ubuntu1 [15:23] (i'm on trusty) [15:23] CoZo: the kernel we use on mako has been the same since forever; the android 4.4 kernel [15:24] vandenoever: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices#Working_with_ubuntu-device-flash [15:24] it's --recovery-image [15:24] not img [15:24] mmh okay i will try to flash again [15:24] thank you [15:25] dobey: I corrected that but he says it is still playing up [15:25] CoZo: like i said, it's a hardware problem [15:25] now running "ubuntu-device-flash touch --device arale --bootstrap" which does something [15:25] vandenoever: are you ok with losing all your data on the phone? [15:26] dobey: yes [15:26] vandenoever, you need to get the latest package from the ppa [15:26] that version is too old === dandrader is now known as dandrader|lunch [15:46] i've now upgraded ubuntu-device-flash to the latest version and booted to the ubuntu logo in recovery mode [15:46] unf the error is now '2015/12/16 16:45:41 Target device cannot be reached over adb' [15:53] ah, i need an adb-enabled image for the mx4 [16:16] how long does recovery take? three small images have been pushed, the three large ones (57M, 69M, 282M) are still in progress it seems [17:31] * lotuspsychje just updates his Bq to OTA 8.5 === dandrader|lunch is now known as dandrader [18:03] systemupdate is the 8,5 update? [18:04] ah, it says in the topic :) === alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOD [18:08] k1l: working like a charm here :p [18:17] Myself5 you can build ubuntu rootfs image straight from android tree now [18:17] Myself5 just call make ubunturootfsimage [18:18] Myself5 I will download tarballs from system image, unpacks them and then creates ext4 img file [18:25] does the camera app not use the microphone? === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader [20:34] the browser on the ubuntu phone is crazy fast: very nice [21:02] I look at unity running on this 21.5" monitor and wonder when the app will be coming to my 4.5" phone - http://www.bloomberg.com/features/2015-george-hotz-self-driving-car/ ;) [22:30] anyone know how to make wifi works on a new device without use insmod .../wlan.ko on terminal? [22:39] kowak: I would say either build the module into the kernel and not as a module, or load the module during init [22:50] mzanetti, hey, what happens if I send 100 sms messages to my bq? does unity8 do anything to prevent 100 notifications from showing in succession? [22:50] jgdx, probably not... would need to check the code [22:51] mzanetti, wouldn't unity8/postal office be the right place to deal with that problem? [22:51] if not, every app have to deal with this themselves [22:51] iiuic [22:51] yes, lp:unity-notifications is the place [22:52] there is some fancy queuing mechanism with priorities and whatnot [22:52] okay, I'll test some stuff tomorrow morning and file a bug if I find crazy [22:52] however, I'm not sure right now if it has some DoS protection [22:52] mzanetti, ack, thanks!
