[10:39] <robin-hero> hey, is it normal that I can't download the daily releases at rc-proposed channel since 2-3 days?
[12:34] <ogra_> robin-hero, "can't download " ? you mean by hand ?
[12:35]  * ogra_ definitely had updates the last days .. not today though since we dont build phone images on weekends
[12:53] <robin-hero> ogra_, in the Updates I got the following error: Installation failed, Sorry, the system update failed.
[12:53] <ogra_> oh, wow
[12:53] <ogra_> nothing like that here on my MX4
[12:54] <ogra_> (i havent updated the bq in two days)
[12:54] <robin-hero> this is a Nexus4
[12:54] <ogra_> ah, havent touched one in ages
[12:55] <robin-hero> r199 is the last release I can use, 200 and 201 are both wrong
[13:03] <robin-hero> I get the following error If I want to flash it via the command line:
[13:03] <robin-hero> 2016/01/02 14:03:07 error pushing: failed to copy '/home/robinhero/.cache/ubuntuimages/gpg/image-signing.tar.xz' to '/cache/recovery/': Is a directory
[13:11] <robin-hero> Hmm, if I use the --bootsrap option it works...
[14:22] <erpl> Hi everybody, I stumpled across an error while building an image for the Nexus 4 following the Porting Guide. Is there anybody willing to give some advice?
[14:32] <simox> hello world
[14:36] <simox> i just bought this new phone.. someone can tell me which is the best man to become it's administrator?
[14:36] <simox> its
[14:37] <erpl> Sorry, I'm new to irc and messed up with my client. I don't want to seem rude, because I might not answer correctly — might that I missed a few minutes.
[14:37] <k1l> erpl: no answer so far
[14:37] <erpl> thx.
[14:37] <k1l> and i think most devs are on holliday.
[14:38] <simox> ok...i will try another time thanks.
[14:38] <erpl> Yah, that seems plausible.
[14:39] <erpl> Is this the right spot to meet devs or should I go to another room?
[14:40] <k1l> this is right.
[14:40] <k1l> but there are already nexus4 ports officially from ubuntu.
[14:40] <erpl> k1l: Thx again.
[14:40] <simox> i think you should find them here for ubuntu phone..
[14:40] <k1l> so the ubuntu devs will have more info. but most of them seem to be on holliday.
[14:42] <erpl> k1l: I just followed the Porting Guide to set up the build environment and build the Nexus 4 image first before trying to port for another device. But that already failed...
[14:42] <k1l> erpl: ah ok
[14:42] <simox> devices must be very similar..
[14:44] <anpok_> simox: what phone?
[14:45] <anpok_> erpl: what failure?
[14:46] <erpl> ubuntu/libhybris/compat/media/media_recorder_client.cpp:265:22: error: 'struct android::MediaRecorderBase' has no member named 'pause'
[14:47] <erpl> I already asked my favourite search engine, but it did not return anythin useful (yet).
[14:48] <erpl> Ok, I found one simple fix, so that it compiles on ask ubuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/708991/error-struct-androidmediarecorderbase-has-no-member-named-pause.
[14:49] <erpl> Though that seems not satisfying to me.
[14:53] <anpok_> erpl: hm try reporting a bug to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libhybris
[14:54] <anpok_> https://bugs.launchpad.net/libhybris or rather here
[14:54] <erpl> anpok_: If that's the right way to go, yes.
[14:56] <anpok_> hmm ok the code is not there..
[14:58] <erpl> anpok_: I don't know which branch the Porting Guide uses. If it is master I might do better to choose a stable branch for "my first steps"?
[19:00] <discgolf> erpl: I have had the exact same problem trying to build also.
[20:07] <phablet> hi there
[20:08] <phablet> I have some lengthy mkv files downloaded. Is there any way to watch them on my ubuntu phone?
[20:08] <phablet> Just 'opening' them takes me to the gallery app, which freezes the whole system.
[20:09] <phablet> I haven't been able to find a video player in the store
[20:09] <dobey> you play them from within the gallery app or the videos scope
[20:10] <dobey> the system should definitely not freeze. it sounds like you've maybe encountered a bug in the thumbnailer
[20:10] <phablet> the gallery app freezes up when I try to do that. The files are about 500mb with embedded .ass subtitles
[20:11] <dobey> then it's a bug and needs to be fixed
[20:11] <dobey> please file a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gallery-app
[20:12] <phablet> is there a way to open them in the mediaplayer-app directly from the cli? when I try to open the app that way it complains that it cant find Mir running
[20:12] <phablet> I will
[20:13] <dobey> there is, but i don't recall the invocation
[20:13] <phablet> will investigate ty
[20:13] <phablet> quit
[20:35] <phablet> hi again
[20:35] <phablet> is there a proper video player for ubuntu touch (mxplayer, vlc and the like?)
[21:55] <Mihai17xxy> hi all
[21:55] <JanC> oi!
[21:56] <Mihai17xxy> I am tring to bilg ubuntu touch on my pc and  flash it to my fone , it can be done ?
[21:57] <dobey> see the porting guide in the topic
[21:57] <Mihai17xxy> I have an Sony z 3 compact and an Meizu Pro 5
[22:00] <Mihai17xxy> yes I am on that for 3 days but evry time I am close to the end the OS starts no more I am bilding it in VM , is that false ?
[22:01] <dobey> i don't know
[22:02] <Mihai17xxy> ...
[22:03] <dobey> you mean your VM no longer boots, or your phone no longer boots?
[22:04] <Mihai17xxy> the VM
[22:04] <JanC> maybe you filled all diskspace in it?
[22:04] <dobey> you probably have the disk too small for it
[22:04] <dobey> the android source tree is very large itself
[22:05] <dobey> so very likely you have filled the disk in it
[22:05] <Mihai17xxy> it dosent give an low disk error for that ?
[22:06] <dobey> i don't know. i don't have ubuntu on a vm, and i've never filled the disk of ubuntu in a vm
[22:06] <Mihai17xxy> I have made a new 1 with  /boot 10G  swap 10G and / 100G
[22:06] <Mihai17xxy> should sufice no ?
[22:07] <dobey> i don't know. i haven't ported ubuntu to any new devices myself, so i don't know what the total storage space required after building the tree is
[22:08] <dobey> and i can't see your screen, so i can't tell you exactly what is going wrong and causing it to not boot any longer.
[22:08] <dobey> and i must go now
[22:08] <dobey> good luck
[22:09] <Mihai17xxy> thx u too
[22:09] <Mihai17xxy> good night
[22:14] <JanC> Mihai17xxy: you don't need that much for /boot (0.5 to 1 GB should be plenty, or just leave it on / instead)
[22:14] <Mihai17xxy> I had a problem / error that I had no boot
[22:15] <JanC> /boot is only for the bootloader & kernel
[22:17] <Mihai17xxy> afther the command (phablet-dev-bootstrap phablet) ended I am with 4.6G of files and in instructions it says ( This step will take a long time (several hours), as it is downloading around 15GB of Android sources.)
[22:17] <Mihai17xxy> something is wrong no ?
[22:17] <JanC> I think it should be possible to resize the virtual disk you were using too, which should allow you to boot it again
[22:18] <Mihai17xxy> I olready made and started the new one , thats ok
[22:19] <JanC> and I never ported Ubuntu Touch to a new device either, so that part I can't really help with
[22:19] <Mihai17xxy> sorry that I am so noob :) I tried for a long time alone on an asus zenfone 6 with no succes :D and I tolded myself that I asck now
[22:20] <Mihai17xxy> sorry for the bad EN
[22:21] <JanC> no problem, many people here are not native English speakers  :)
[22:23] <Mihai17xxy> alsow I have this question that my CPU on fone is ARM -v8 and in compiling it tels me that is bilding ARM -v7a
[22:23] <Mihai17xxy> is that ok for me ?
[22:25] <Mihai17xxy> I am sorry for stresing u guis
[22:25] <JanC> first this: maybe if nobody answers tonight, ask again at a time when more developers are around (work day / business hours for the developers)  :)
[22:26] <JanC> ARMv8 is 64-bit
[22:26] <JanC> ARMv is 32-bit
[22:26] <Mihai17xxy> yes
[22:26] <JanC> ARMv7 is 32-bit
[22:26] <Mihai17xxy> that is bad for my CPU no ? :f
[22:26] <JanC> I don't think 64-bits is very useful on a phone currently?
[22:27] <JanC> AFAIK ARMv8 CPUs can run ARMv7 software
[22:27] <Mihai17xxy> so I can use the 32 bit on the 64 architecture ?
[22:27] <Mihai17xxy> ok , thx
[22:28] <JanC> just like x86_64/amd64 can run x86 32-bits
[22:29] <Mihai17xxy> I started to compile the system and I am geting TONS of dependencies :( fom audio on start , working on them ( alsa and pulse
[22:30] <JanC> considering phones usually have limited RAM, I think 32-bits is better (as it uses less memory), but I'm not sure
[22:31] <JanC> and like I said, I never ported Ubuntu Touch to a different phone  :)
[22:32] <Mihai17xxy> I understeand :) but atleast u can give me some advices :D
[22:32] <Mihai17xxy> I have 4G ram on PRO5 and 64G ROM
[23:25] <maitimarco> Hi, I'd like use ubuntu-touch on my device with no brand. I'm using xubuntu 14.04. I'm using this guide: https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/porting-new-device/ ... I'm at make -j4 and at lunch i've used the first choice (arm generic) this is the error: http://pastebin.com/91FAe5ck
[23:35] <rtm> To or similar documentation somewhere that explains how to use xMer on an Ubuntu Touch device?
[23:36] <rtm> Opps - sorry, that should have read: Is there a Howto or similar documentation that explains how to use xMer on an Ubuntu Touch device?
