rtmI'm running Ubuntu Touch on a Nexus 5, and it works well.   But I need to be able to run X11 legacy apps.   I can't get Xmir to work.   Is there an "Xmir Howto" or something similar that explains how to get Xmir working?06:16

mcphailIf I format my SD card as ext4, mount it and bind-mount subdirectories under $HOME, will confined apps be able to see those directories or will I get apparmor denials (similar to symlinking)?10:03
peat-psuwitTouching is broken on LG D410 (my port) when upgrade from 20151218.1 to 20151221. What have been changed between these versions?13:30
jdstrandmcphail: confined apps will be able to see those directories14:01
jdstrand(since there is nothing to resolve the path to something else)14:01
mcphailjdstrand: thanks! Wanted to check before I reformatted my card. Want to add extra storage for a chroot, but keep plenty of SDcard space for music etc14:02
* mcphail plans to play with xmir14:05
someguy1232good day #ubuntu-touch. I am looking at buying a nexus 7, and would like confirmation that any of the devices will work.16:40
someguy1232that is, I dont need to worry of different CPU or video cards not being supported (some say nvidia-tegra, arm, Qualcomm, etc).16:43
Elleosomeguy1232: it needs to be the 2013 nexus 7 model, not the 2012 model (they're different devices), other than that I don't think there's anything to worry about16:52
peat-psuwitTouch screen on LG D410 (my port) is broken when I upgrade from 20151218.1 to 20151221. What have been changed between these versions?17:39

dobeysomeguy1232, Elleo: only the wifi 2013 nexus 7 model is officially supported as well.18:04
Elleodobey: ah, didn't realise there was a difference with the LTE version; do those not work at all or is it just the LTE part that doesn't work?18:06
dobeyElleo: the device name is different between lte and wifi models. wifi is "flo" and is what's on the official image server. there's a community build for "deb" (the LTE model), but that server is woefully out of date with meaningful channels, and i haven't had time to set up an alternate server myself (nor a device to test with myself)18:08
Elleodobey: ah, okay thanks18:11
someguy1232Thanks Elleo and dobey. That calms me greatly.18:16
anpok_as soon as peat-psuwit comes back, tell him that this is udev/libinputs fault, and one of those needs fixing..18:29
anpok_peat-psuwit: hm18:30
anpok_could you provide information about the touch screens18:30
anpok_peat-psuwit_: we switched to libinput18:32
anpok_peat-psuwit_: with that udevs device deteciton is useed18:32
peat-psuwit_anpok_: I don't know what make & model is the touchscreen. The phone is Qualcomm-based.18:34
anpok_peat-psuwit_: doesnt matter much.. it depends more on the driver..18:34
anpok_but if you can provide the contents of the rouchscreen sys folder we can fix that easily18:36
anpok_or it might be that the touch screen sends awkward events..18:36
anpok_could you file a bug report..18:37
anpok_against canonical-system-image.. and mir..18:37
anpok_then you need to provide some information18:37
peat-psuwit_anpok_: Ok. What should I provide on the bug report?18:39
anpok_peat-psuwit_: could you attach /var/log/lightdm/system-compositor.log18:40
anpok_then .. search in /sys/ for a directory that contains a directory called capabilities18:41
anpok_those are the input devices..18:41
anpok_then for each of the devices paths, strip the prefix /sys and run "udevadm test-builtin input_id /devices/WHATEVER_THE_REMAINING_PATH_TO_THE_DIRECTOR_IS/"18:46
anpok_and it will tell us if udev successfully discovers those devices as touchscreens and phone buttons18:46
peat-psuwit_anpok_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/153038418:57
ubot5Launchpad bug 1530384 in mir (Ubuntu) "Touchscreen stop working on LG L90 Dual" [Undecided,New]18:57
anpok_wow thx19:01
NirgalHi there. I just got a nice bq phone with Ubuntu. I have a bunch of questions now. Like how do I enter a wifi password for starter. And how can I read/write the adress book (I don't mind hacking)20:54
Nirgalops, the wifi password is now showing up :)20:55
JanCNirgal: what do you mean by "read/write address book" ?21:11
JanCit's using evolution-data-server internally21:14
NirgalI mean I'd like to sync it with my own that uses a private format. I'll look into that, thanks :)21:18
NirgalIsn't it possible to download applications without registering ?22:11

JanCNirgal: IIRC you can use SyncEvolution (probably check Ask Ubuntu for that)22:54
JanCNirgal: not in the store scope, but you can install apps from the commandline22:55
