k1l_what cables/dongles/adapters do i need to plug my n4 into dockmode?01:55
dobeyk1l_: slimport mhl for the hdmi, and bt kb/mouse if you mean for the "convergence" mode when docked02:01
k1l_hmm, dont have a bt mouse.02:05
andyworkdobey: does it really have to be an mhl adapter?02:25
k1l_iirc i saw some pictures with some otg cables using a usb mouse?02:26
dobeyandywork: as opposed to what?02:27
andyworksome new version that doesn't require external power for the adapter02:28
dobeyk1l_: yeah, on the device afaik. i'm not sure mhl+usb are doable on the slimport. but i'm not 100% certain.02:28
k1l_dobey: a right02:29
dobeyeh?02:30
dobey"mhl slimport adapter" search on amazon shows me lots of things that don't have external power adapters02:30
andyworkok, then perhaps i am wrong02:31
Elleodobey: aren't mhl and slimport different things? I thought they were competing standards, so you'd either have an MHL adaptor or a slimport adapter depending on the device (slimport for nexus 4)02:32
dobeyElleo: i have no idea about that. afaik, micro usb is micro usb02:33
dobeyi guess http://www.tested.com/tech/android/457205-mhl-vs-slimport/ answers it02:34
andyworki did a quick search, "SlimPort is an alternative to Mobile High Definition Link (MHL)"02:35
dobeyElleo: i guess the answer is "everybody really wants miracast anyway"02:35
Elleodobey: maybe, I'm not certain miracast will be that great for desktop style usage due to the increased latency; it's good for streaming videos and stuff to a display, but I'm not sure it'll be as good as MHL or SlimPort for more interactive usage02:37
ElleoI'd be very happy if I'm wrong about that though02:37
k1l_Elleo: with todays hardware or in general?02:38
dobeyElleo: eh, i don't know enough about all the wireless video or usb-to-whatever options to say much more about it. it's not something i'm likely to ever use anyway. i'm more interested in system integration features02:40
Elleok1l_: not sure, I wouldn't rule anything out in terms of improvements being made, but the primary aim of the standard was multimedia display rather than interactive use, so I doubt latency gets that much attention02:41
k1l_ah ok02:42
Elleok1l_: it only takes a small amount of latency for things like mouse movements to feel really awkward02:42
Elleobut I don't know how much can be tweaked from the ubuntu side02:42
dobeyElleo: well, the stereo in my truck has some thing where it can use miracast from the phone, and bluetooth, to do things. that doesn't have a mouse pointer though, just uses the stereo for the touch screen to tap on things and such02:44
dobeyi don't know how well it works either though02:44
dobeybut anyway02:44
Elleoyeah, from a bit of googling it sounds like while most adapters have pretty awful latency (300ms - 3000ms) there are some very low latency ones02:45
Elleoso it seems possible to do low latency stuff with miracast02:45
dobeycan't do too much with my nexus 5 anyway, without bluetooth02:45
Elleoanyway, I should get to bed :)02:46
dobeyyeah. it's horribly cold here, so i think it's time to go bury myself for the night02:47

zzarrhello!11:32
zzarris there a way to transmit the display wireless from my phone? (MX4)11:33
lotuspsychjezzarr: transmit?11:41
zzarrlotuspsychje, what I meant was connect a external display over a wireless protocol11:48
lotuspsychjezzarr: you want to stream something from your phone to another screen over wifi?11:48
zzarrlotuspsychje, yes, I wish to have a desktop environment on an external monitor over a wireless connection11:51
lotuspsychjezzarr: how about you wait for the convergence to happen? but i think that will be over cable11:52
zzarrlotuspsychje, but if I understand it correctly convergence is coming in the next update11:54
lotuspsychjei think that will be in OTA9 indeed11:54
=== chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk
zzarrsadly my phone don't have the possibility to connect an external monitor via cable11:55
lotuspsychjezzarr: mx4 does have an usb right?11:57
zzarryes, but no HDMI support11:57
lotuspsychjezzarr: i think some devices will be able to convergence over the usb port with adapter11:58
lotuspsychjezzarr: but not sure about mx4, dont shoot me ok :p11:58
zzarrthe MX4 don't have any support for MHL11:59
zzarr(HDMI over USB)11:59
lotuspsychjezzarr: ah, then im not sure mate12:00
lotuspsychjezzarr: we soon all will know whats gonna happen on ota912:00
zzarryes12:00
zzarrmaybe Aethercast is the answer12:10
delijatiapp publish is not working anymore12:10
lotuspsychjedelijati: file a bug or find an existing bug?12:11
robin-heroMX4 doesn't support SlimPort or MHL, so you can't connect to an external monitor via cable. But Canonical is working on a wireless solution: https://launchpad.net/aethercast12:11

delijati@lotuspsychje alread did12:13
zzarrrobin-hero, I knew that SlimPort and MHL don't work, but do you know if aethercast will be available in OTA-9?12:13
robin-herozarr, certainly not, it is still in a very early stage, maybe the end of the year. but this is only a speculation, I'm not a Canonical employee12:15

robin-herozzarr, I hope that so, because my main phone is a Bq Aquaris E4.5, and that also doesn't support SlimPort...12:17

BlackJohnnyHello! I could use a hint on what reference to check in order to learn what to do when my main ubuntu-touch process is placed in background13:01
lotuspsychjeBlackJohnny: what do you mean process?13:03
BlackJohnnylotuspsychje, I am working with the camera from my app and eventually it freezes and does not release anymore the camera an you need a reboot of the phone in order to recover from this situation13:04
BlackJohnnyeventually, if it is placed in the background with "alt-tab"13:04
lotuspsychjeBlackJohnny: wich phone is this?13:05
BlackJohnnylotuspsychje, i got the behavior on both BQ and MX413:05
BlackJohnnylotuspsychje, and it is only after a few switches13:06
lotuspsychjeBlackJohnny: updated to ota8?13:06
BlackJohnnylotuspsychje, 8.5, and it is an app already on the store and some users are complaining about this behaviour13:06
lotuspsychjeBlackJohnny: wich app?13:07
BlackJohnnylotuspsychje, and it is not happening so often but it is not ok13:07
BlackJohnnylotuspsychje, aieye13:07
lotuspsychjeBlackJohnny: maybe file a new bug for aieye or find and existing one?13:07
BlackJohnnylotuspsychje, file a new bug to who? :)13:08
lotuspsychjeBlackJohnny: check the bug link in our topic mate :p13:08
BlackJohnnylotuspsychje, I read that this is an architecture decision and somehow you need to take care of the state13:09
BlackJohnnylotuspsychje, but I dont know where is this documented13:09
lotuspsychjeBlackJohnny: ah i see you are the writer of this app?13:09
BlackJohnnylotuspsychje, yes :)13:10
lotuspsychjecool :p13:10
lotuspsychjeBlackJohnny: well filing a bug could be relevant for others to troubleshoot right13:10
lotuspsychjeBlackJohnny: if an app freezes the system, we should at least know why...13:11
=== Guest83 is now known as Norbell
BlackJohnnylotuspsychje, not the entire system but it blocks the access to the camera even for the default camera app13:11
lotuspsychjeBlackJohnny: you have the camera app enabled in system settings right?13:12
BlackJohnnylotuspsychje, I do13:12
lotuspsychjeapp permission camera13:12
BlackJohnnylotuspsychje, I will dig more into the documentation13:12
lotuspsychjeBlackJohnny: i would file a new bug...13:13
BlackJohnnylotuspsychje, it is working ok most of the time :)13:13
BlackJohnnylotuspsychje, ok, thanks13:13
lotuspsychjeBlackJohnny: have you tried also a reset to defaults and try aieye?13:13
BlackJohnnylotuspsychje, that I have not tried13:13
lotuspsychjeBlackJohnny: as maintainer, i would advise that :p13:13
lotuspsychjeBlackJohnny: to be sure its not solved13:14
BlackJohnnylotuspsychje, I will do that but I have the feeling I need to release the camera when my app is sent to background13:15
BlackJohnnylotuspsychje, thanks13:15
lotuspsychjeBlackJohnny: maybe you should talk to app creators that use the camera app also? they might know13:16

matiasbdelijati, afaict, it seems there is some conflict with your package version and previous uploads; I'd try to re-upload your package with an updated version number, and check if that works15:30
CheeryLeeCan you help me with flashing the system image?15:32
delijatimatiasb: hmm ok but there is not app listet under https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/dev/click-apps/ -> "You have no packages."15:37
matiasbdelijati, right, you still need to upload it as a new package, but updating the version number in your package may fix the problem (from what I can check, your upload may be conflicting with a previous failed one), since upgrading the version number will process it as a completely new binary15:57
delijatimatiasb: ahh ok thanks i give that a try15:58
delijatimatiasb: btw. it there a more "cli" way of uploading a click app?16:02
