lotuspsychjelookin good guys!07:59
zzarrlotuspsychje, very nice, very nice indeed08:11
zzarrI wonder.... if the MX4 lacks the hardware to output MHL, why is this here? https://github.com/meizuosc/m75/tree/master/mediatek/kernel/drivers/mhl/driver/mhl_tx_drv08:12
lotuspsychjezzarr: really dont know mate, i have bq myself..08:13
zzarrno need to tell me that it haven't been updated lately, I can see that my self08:13
zzarrthe reason I'm so interested in connecting my MX4 to an external display is that... yea, it's about 2 3 times faster than my stationary computer08:15
zzarrI think it's the same with the BQ devices (lacks MHL)08:23

victor_bqHi all!09:57
victor_bqquick question =)09:58
victor_bqI'm in rc 24209:58
victor_bqwith krillin and I found something strange in camera09:58
victor_bqin camera settings, when selecting 4:3 and 16:9 MP shown are incorrect09:59
victor_bqI think09:59
davmor2victor_bq: will take a look, thanks for highlighting10:02
victor_bqdavmor2 great! Would it be better if I look for it on Launchpad and report it if it's not reported yet¿ :)10:03
teveon my vegetahd only option available is 16:9 (19.5MP)10:05
victor_bqthat's wrong too10:06
victor_bqkrillin has 8Mpx sensor and vegeta 13Mpx10:06
victor_bqu're in rc to ?10:06
teveyep10:07
victor_bqwould be great having that Mpx haha interpolated =)10:08
davmor2victor_bq: hmmmm so just tested the rc image on krillin, I get too different sized images 2448x4352 and 3168x422410:14
robin-herofor me N4 shows 4:3 (8MP) on rc-proposed10:14
davmor2victor_bq: is it that the MP reported are just incorrect10:20
jibelKaleo, ^ do you know why the MPx reported by the camera do not correspond to the resolution of the sensors? (8Mpx and 5Mpx)10:29
jibelon krillin10:29
Kaleojibel, yes10:30
Kaleojibel, for krillin there is 2 resolutions for each sensor10:31
Kaleojibel, the native one and the "interpolated" one10:31
Kaleojibel, the second one is sold by BQ as a feature10:31
Kaleojibel, and we made the decision to keep it10:31
jibelvictor_bq, ^ does it answer your question?10:31
jibelthanks Kaleo10:33
Kaleovictor_bq, http://www.bq.com/es/aquaris-e4-5 "8Mpx - 13Mpx interpolados (Dual flash y autofocus)"  "5Mpx - 8Mpx interpolados"10:36
Kaleovictor_bq, maybe it's a little sparsely sourced, if you have more info about it, let me know10:36
davmor2Kaleo: so one question, 2448x4352 I assume is the 8MP mode if you take only the 1000's but is just of 10MP in reality is that a normal thing? Do the manufacturers just round down?10:39
davmor2s/of/over10:39
Kaleodavmor2, where do you get the 2448x4352 ?10:41
victor_bqKaleo, the specs about interpolated MPx in E4.5 are only in Android FW as far as I know, as well as the specs in E510:42
davmor2Kaleo: from the image data that I took in the different modes10:42
Kaleodavmor2, I'm going to guess you are using the default settings of the camera, that you did not touch the aspect ratio in the bottom edge panel?10:42
victor_bqIf Ubuntu camera app has MPX interpolated implemented that's ok10:42
Kaleodavmor2, right, that's 16:9, the default10:43
Kaleodavmor2, which is unrelated to the announced resolution10:43
davmor2Kaleo: 2448x4352 and 3168x4224 were the too different sizes in EOG10:43
Kaleodavmor2, if you select 4:3 in the settings of the camera you'll get the "announced" 13.4MP10:43
davmor2two even10:43
victor_bqbut the HW camera specs are 8MPx rear and 5 MPx front10:43
victor_bqfor E4.510:43
Kaleovictor_bq, right, since we are using part of the Android FW for the camera, I figured we could use the same interpolated resolutions10:44
Kaleovictor_bq, I'm not sure actually10:44
Kaleovictor_bq, would need to speak with the BQ engineer that did the interpolation bit10:44
Kaleovictor_bq, if you have his/her contact10:44
victor_bqI guess I can get it for you ;)10:44
Kaleo:=)10:44
victor_bqgive me some minutes =)10:45
Kaleodavmor2, you see the aspect ratio setting right? you know which one I mean?10:45
davmor2Kaleo: yes, and 4:3 (13.4MP) which match the interop spec, and then 16:9 (10.4) which doesn't should be 8 and 13 according to the spec right?  But I assume we are giving the resolution that we are receiving from the file ie 10.4 and 13.x right10:47
davmor210.7 even10:47
davmor2Kaleo: our idea of resolution seems to match the image not the spec given, and on the front camera you have 16:9 (8.3MP) which again is probably correct by the image taken but is in the spec at 5 MP10:49
victor_bqdavmor2, that's make more sense to me now :)10:50
Kaleodavmor2, no10:51
Kaleodavmor2, it's way simpler10:52
davmor2Kaleo: oh okay10:52
Kaleodavmor2, 4:3 is the native aspect ratio of the back camera sensor10:52
Kaleodavmor2, the obvious thing to do is to use that sensor at the maximum resolution allowed with an aspect  ratio of 4:3, which should be 8MPx10:53
Kaleodavmor2, now, because of the interpolation feature, it turns out this max resolution is 13MPx10:53
Kaleodavmor2, which is exactly what you get today when you set the camera setting to 4:310:53
davmor2Kaleo: ah so the 16:9 which is the only mode available on the front camera is in interpolation mode then right10:53
Kaleodavmor2, and by 13MPx I mean 13.4MPx10:54
Kaleodavmor2, right10:54
Kaleodavmor2, now the front camera sensor is a bit peculiar10:54
Kaleodavmor2, it's native resolution has an aspect ratio of 16:9 IIRC10:54
Kaleodavmor2, and as you said we use the max resolution available with that aspect ratio, the interporlated resolution10:55
Kaleodavmor2, now the reason why we sometimes have a second different aspect ratio selected by default10:55
Kaleodavmor2, is that we want the camera to fill up the entire screen (which in case of BQ's is 16:9)10:55
davmor2Kaleo: that clears that up then thanks :)10:56
Kaleo:)à10:56
victor_bqthanks kaleo for the clarification :)10:57
davmor2Kaleo: on a plus side our reported MP's match the image sizes so as far as I am concerned we are all good, I just didn't understand the discrepancy between Size reported on site vs actual size :)10:59
Kaleodavmor2, ah right  :)11:00
* mcphail thinks a camera should take photos in 6:4 ratio by default11:01
davmor2mcphail: wash you mouth out with soapy water ;)11:04
mcphaildavmor2: I'm serious. Any other resolution for photos is a pain. It's the de facto standard11:06
mcphailEvery print shop and every frame will have a 6" x 4" variant11:07
mcphail16x9 is becoming more common, I'll admit, but isn't what your granny would buy11:08
davmor2mcphail: that's not a 6:4 ratio though, that's a 3:2 ratio :P11:09
mcphail:)11:09
davmor2mcphail: and technically 3:2 didn't match the old film ratio either which I'm sure was 4:3 to make it commercially viable for the film and camera industry of the time :)11:12

jgdxseb128, hey, you around? If I build-dep on libgnome-desktop-3-dev, any way of figuring out what the binary depends on?14:28
tsimonq2davidcalle: what can I choose from?14:28

tsimonq2davidcalle: what if I don't have an app idea? :P14:29
tsimonq2:D14:29
seb128jgdx, but if you want indirect depends easiest is to install it in a pbuilder or such14:29
jgdxseb128, rather, I want to know what I am supposed to put in the binary section of debian/control..14:30
jgdxseb128, installing my uss deb right now produses dependency errors14:30
davidcalletsimonq2: there is a live Q&A about this contest on thursday, I'm pretty sure live commenters on IRC will come up with suggestions :)14:30
seb128jgdx, sorry but I'm not sure to follow14:31

seb128jgdx, what sort of errors?14:31
tsimonq2davidcalle: when is it?14:31
jgdxseb128, that makes two of us. Let me try again: I've added libgnome-desktop-3-dev as a build dep in System Settings. Trying to install that .deb gives me these [1] errors. [1] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14671976/14:32
davidcalletsimonq2: 17 UTC14:32
davidcalletsimonq2: blog post incoming today with more details about it. But even if you miss it, it will be recorded.14:33
seb128jgdx, oh, use apt14:33
tsimonq2davidcalle: ahh okay, thanks :)14:33
jgdxseb128, and trying to install libgnome-desktop-3-10 gives another dep error, that I need to install gnome-desktop3-data. I can install both fine, but do both have to be in debian/control for the binary?14:33
seb128dpkg doesn't resolve depends14:33
seb128no14:33
seb128just list what you need14:33
seb128apt takes care of resolving the depends14:33

tsimonq2davidcalle: can I put my app on Github while I am working on it, or does it have to be private code? and when does it end?14:35
davidcalletsimonq2: sure, that's up to you :) It ends february 29th14:42
tsimonq2davidcalle: ok, I was just making sure that it wasn't against the rules14:42
edude03Hello everyone - sorry if this question has been asked a million time, but is it possible to build ubuntu touch on the latest AOSP or does it have to be the 4.2.2 branch?14:43

ahoneybun_Sponge, Nexus 5?21:50
_Spongeright-oh21:50
ahoneybunonly the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 are supported atm21:52
dobey_Sponge: nexus 4 has 4g if you use the old radio from before it was disabled21:55
ahoneybuntrue21:56
edude03Does the nexus 5 support convergence with OTA 9?21:58
matv1_Sponge but you will get poor sound in calls in return if I remember correctly  :)21:58
ahoneybunI think the N5 has MHL support21:58
edude03It does21:59
edude03I guess that's the only way - no miracast or UDL support I guess21:59
dobeyslimport i guess, not mhl22:05
dobeybut nexus 5 is not an officially supported device22:06
dobeybluetooth doesn't work on it, so it's going to be hard using the slimport adapter with a bt kb/mouse to demo convergence on a nexus 522:06
edude03rekt22:09
edude03hmm dobey what version of UT is bluetooth broken in? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bluetooth/TouchBluez5Testing leads me to believe it might work if I use a nightly22:11
dobeyit's not "broken" exactly22:12
dobeybluetooth has never worked on the nexus 522:12
edude03hm :/22:15
edude03Seems like Canonical and Partners don't want me to have a UT device22:15
dobeythe nexus 5 has never been an officially supported device.22:16
dobeythe nexus 4 is though22:16
edude03I know but the nexus 4 is.... 3 years old now?22:17
edude03I feel like I can't expect much from it / it wouldn't be a good device to demo convergence on22:18
ahoneybunit is a great device for it I think22:18
edude03If there was something more modern that I could flash I'd pick it up on my home tonigh22:18
edude03*tonight22:19
dobeyyou mean like all the existing demos that are running on it?22:19
ahoneybunwell all the convergence pics and videos are of the nexus 4 so...22:19
dobeythe nexus 5 is 2.25 years old too22:20
edude03dobey yeah I know but I can't buy the Meizu MX4 anywhere, the BQ 4.5/5 aren't very powerful either, The N7 is too big, the 1+1 doesn't have HDMI out22:22
edude03The pickings are extremely thin22:22
dobeyedude03: the bq 4.5/5 and mx4 don't do mhl either22:22
edude03Right22:22
edude03I'd buy a MX4 just to play with if I could find it though22:23
dobeywell i've been using a nexus 5 with ubuntu for about 2 years now22:24
ahoneybungod I need bluetooth in my life too much for that22:24
dobeyofficial support would be nice, as would bleutooth, but eh, it works pretty well as a phone22:24
edude03bluetooth is a necessity for convergence apparently though22:25
edude03Is 16.04 still based on AOSP 4.2.2 by the way?22:25
dobeyi think some people are expecting way more out of having a phone appear on a large screen as a traditional pc interface, than they are going to get22:26
dobeyi guess it's 4.4, but yes, it's still 4.x22:27
dobeynot 5.x yet22:27
edude03I'm possibly one of them22:27
ahoneybunthe 1+1 port is getting rebased on 5.x I believe22:30
ahoneybuntrying to fix the current issues that way22:30
dobeyahoneybun: there's general work to make stuff work on 5.x, because 5.x is needed for 64-bit and various other things22:31
ahoneybunoh22:32
dobeyand i guess the cost of 64-bit chips has come down enough that there's a larger market shift to it happening22:32
edude03hmm22:42
edude03I wish the CM porting guide was out22:43
edude03I'd take a stab at it if I knew where to start22:43
dobeywhat CM porting guide?22:43
edude03Word around the web is that one is coming one day22:45
mcphaildobey: there is one promised on the AOSP porting guide. Has never appeared, though22:46
dobeyoh, well CM is based on AOSP, so i guess it should be pretty obvious what to do there22:47
