_SpongeIt's Friday \o/ Yay !09:08
_SpongeMorning everyone.09:09
mcphail!yay | _Sponge09:10
ubot5`_Sponge: Glad you made it! :-)09:10
mcphailNice timepiece09:10
zzarrhello! where is the android lxc located in a preinstalled ubuntu-touch image?09:47
mardympt: hi! I guess I should also show the package name (in the form com.ubuntu/Mail) in the secondary text in this page, right? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OnlineAccounts?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=phone-accounts-account.png10:17
Smurphy_Sponge: *lol* Nice wrist Watch you got there ...10:18
mptmardy, hmm, I don’t know. If we did, we’d need to show it here too: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityPermissions#Permission_lists10:18
mptmardy, we should ask tvoss10:18
bshahsil2100: morning10:18
popeyNice keyboard too!10:19
SmurphyGuys - instead of Twitter - put Wahtsapp into the phone.10:19
popeyOk!10:19
popeyI'll get right on that.10:19
mardympt: I vote for adding it, because it's not uncommon for an app and scope to have the same display name (like: Vkontakte, Facebook, Instagram)10:19
mardympt: this would let the user tell them apart (assuming that the icon is also the same)10:20
mptmardy, for a very geeky definition of “the user”, but yeah10:20
mardy:-)10:20
mardympt: well, it's something: otherwise there might be absolutely no hint to tell two apps apart10:21
sil2100bshah: morning :)10:22
sil2100bshah: any luck with 'teh branch'?10:22
bshahsil2100: so your final patch seems to work fine :)10:22
karlo1941?10:22
Smurphy!10:23
tvossmpt, what would be design's proposal to solve the issue that mardy mentions? glad for other suggestions10:23
sil2100Yay ;) Just hope that there were no other hidden issues with repacking the keyring10:23
bshahthough I can't test that image "works"10:23
bshahbecause shadeslayer don't have access to e5 for 2 week10:23
sil2100bshah: it seems it's been really long since we last used the 'keyring=' option anywhere, so this part of the code was a bit left for dead10:23
mpttvoss, I don’t know … I wish there was a better one, though10:24
tvossmpt, so display of the app id is not optimal, admittedly, but anything we can do has to be based on it10:25
mpttvoss, I wonder if we could use something like those auto-generated avatars on Web sites that are based on the commenter’s e-mail address10:27
tvossmpt, hmmm, interesting idea10:29
mptThey’re called identicons, apparently https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identicon10:29
tvossmpt, but we would have to educate the user what they actually mean, too10:29
mptyes10:30
tvossmpt, can you take that conversation back to design?10:31
mptsure10:31
tvossmpt, ideally, we would even surface the identicon in the store10:33
bshahsil2100: one feature request or minor bug that is hunting me.. so if I publish only one image in channel still it generates delta files and that is just time consuming10:35
bshahanyway to disable delta generation?10:35
sil2100bshah: hm, you mean you publish just one image in a channel (i.e. no other images were in that channel) it generates a delta still?10:55
sil2100bshah: a delta shouldn't be generated then, not if you didn't define a custom deltabase10:56
sil2100bshah: but anyway, it's possible to disable delta generation for a channel in overall, but then you get no deltas10:56
mardympt: meanwhile, would it be fine if I add the package line as we do in the trust store prompts?10:57
mptmardy, sure10:57
bshahsil2100: I've defined11:05
bshahversionbase = 111:05
bshahfullcount = 111:05
bshahstill it generatees delta.11:05
sil2100bshah: you don't want to have deltas at all in the channel?11:11
bshahno..11:11

matv1ogra_ question about that logitech K480. Do you actually use it for the bq tablet? Does it sit well in the holder? is it wide enough for that?11:46
jjardonHi, does ubuntu-touch have a special mechanism to store status/data of the phone in case power loss?11:49
ogra_matv1, i dont have a bq tablet (yet) .... i use it with my old N7 currently12:04
ogra_matv1, but i would expect the bq to fit ... perhaps popey knows12:04
ogra_i know there are such kbd's in the canonical office so i would expect *someone* to have tried that12:04
popeyI dont have a bq tablet12:05
matv1oh my12:06
popeyhappy to measure the k380 though12:06
ogra_popey, no, but you are at the office at times and could have seen one sitting in a k480 kbd :)12:06
ogra_matv1, why oh my ?12:06
popeyJMulholland oi oi, have you seen any Logitech (black and yellow) Bluetooth keyboards around? Fancy jamming a BQ M10 into it to see if it fits? :)12:06
ogra_the slot has a lot of wiggle room if i use the n712:07
matv1well ogra_ and popey not even having used a phisical bq tablet is not what i expected if you guys are releasing it in a month or something12:08
popeyPlenty of others have them12:08
popeyNot everyone needs one12:08
matv1ah!12:08
ogra_matv1, i dont work on the phone team since about a year now :)12:08
anpokyeah the ones that have one play remote controlled testers12:08
ogra_i'm a normal customer, like you :)12:09
anpokwhich is kind of nice.. delegating testing some one else .. you can focus on generatig ideas12:09
ogra_anpok, does that mean you casn call yourself an "architect" now ?12:09
ogra_(seems to be a fashionable thing :) )12:09
anpokyeah.. solution architect maybe12:10
matv1ogra_ popey ok cool :)12:12
victor_bqHi all!12:16
victor_bqsomeone to lend a hand with two customers?12:17
victor_bq=)12:17
popeyvictor_bq: what's up?12:18
victor_bqwell I've got two customer experiencing this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/150808112:19
ubot5`Launchpad bug 1508081 in ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu) "Fails to receive OTA updates" [High,In progress]12:19
popeyhave you seen comment #18 from Ken?12:20
victor_bqok, I'll give them those instructions12:21
victor_bqand if the problem remains? something else to do?12:21
popeyI wonder if opening the terminal and manually running "system-image-cli" will do it. barry or kenvandine may know...12:22
victor_bqwell enough for me =), if the problem persists I'll contact again12:22
victor_bqthanks popey!12:23
popeynp12:23
matv1popey victor bq if i may jump in. I distinctly remember ogra_ saying that to another person with the same problem, which resolved it then. about a week ago i think12:23
popeyhandy to know12:24
victor_bqgreat!12:24
popeythanks matv112:24
victor_bqthanks =)12:24
matv1but i have no way to confirm as i do not know how to recreate the failing ota12:24
victor_bqWell, no problem I'll let you know in the bug if it worked for this 2 customers ;)12:25
matv1cool, i hope it does12:26
sil2100bshah: sorry, went to lunch - anyway, if you don't want to have deltas at all in a given channel, just add 'deltabase = ' to the channel config12:36
bshahoh okay12:37
sil2100bshah: this basically means that no deltas will be generated, only full images12:37
bshahok12:37
sil2100(it will generate a warning but work as intended)12:37
sil2100But yeah, OTA updates will be big then12:38
bshahwell plasma mobile is still under development so we don't have kind of OTA update etc12:44

popeyogra_: what's the best low price ubuntu compatible arm device that I could use for building?13:46
popeyPreferably something that has sata port or some other decent size storage (i.e. not a phone)13:46
ogra_depends ... if you want to fiddle a little i'd go with a bananaPi ... that has SATA13:48
ogra_(natively)13:48
ogra_else rpi with snappy in a classic shell (that gets you a full apt env in the 16.04 images)13:48
popeyif I went rpi I'd probably just go for normal ubuntu images13:50
popeyactually, I have a bananapi!13:52
popeyi think13:52
popey\o/ i do13:53
popeyogra_: do we have a snappy image for the banana pi?13:56
ogra_not anymore, no13:56
ogra_we used to in 15.04 ... but that wouldnt help you much13:57
ogra_but i bet you will find some ubuntu image somewhere for it13:57
popeybah13:57
popeyactually 15.04 would help13:58
popeybecause I want to build stuff for 15.04 :)13:58
ogra_for snappy ?13:59
popeyoh, no13:59
popeyso probably best to go for tranditional deb based image13:59
ogra_right13:59
ogra_there was a very early beta image http://forum.banana-pi.org/t/bpi-m2-new-image-snappy-ubuntu-15-04-image-v4-0-release/436 ...14:00
ogra_if you cant find anything you at least could fish bootloader and kernel out of that one and just use the good old ubuntu-core tarball14:00
ogra_popey, in any case, SATA will get you fast file IO ... but for fast compilation you want a fast CPU and much RAM ... it matters what exactly you want to build14:03
ogra_(images and rootfses -> you want SATA .... compiling libreoffice for arm ... better go for something like a parallella board .... they have impressing compute power)14:04
popeynah, nothing that big14:05
popeysmall phone apps14:05
ogra_then an rpi would do i guess14:06
ogra_wont be super fast but you can have snappy as well as ubuntu mate images and easily flip the SDs around14:06
popeytrue14:07
jgdxpete-woods, hey, specific vpn routes (not sure what they're called) are missing from your vpn editor? Are they supported by connectivity api?14:07
ogra_and i bet you could play around with distcc to cluster a few of them to have distributed compiling14:08

mhall119mariogrip: what are your thoughts on Maarten's email this morning? Are the binary blogs needed for this port going to be a problem?16:43

balloonsJamie_1, you are free to do whatever interests you :-) Talk to flocculant for what tests are most needed at the moment; he can point you in the right direction. Though obviously any bug works: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual-tests18:10
mariogripmhall119: no power? for adb enable developer mode18:10
mhall119mariogrip: yeah, I'm not sure why it wouldn't get power18:11
mhall119I don't get MTP either....somethings up with this cable I think18:11
Jamie_1 balloons: thanks, sorry about being annoying its gonna take me a little to get used to the way things run with ubuntu.18:11
balloonsJamie_1, no worries at all. I would recommend trying a few different things out, to see what you enjoy the most and where you excel.18:12
mariogripmhall119: I think I found the problem with the screen, it has a old video driver in the kernel (screen works perfectly on the opo)18:12
balloonsglad to have you contributing!18:12
mariogripmhall119: I have the same issue, it's not your cable18:13
Jamie_1balloons: whelp had to find something, Also i will be working on porting to the Z3C... i need to make use of the dam expensive thing anyways18:13
mhall119yeah, I just tried with my Nexus 4 and it works fine there18:13
mhall119it gets power when I use my A/C charging cable18:14
mariogripmhall119: it might be a problem with the power negotiation18:15

mariogripogra_: that would be awesome18:48
popeyyes, make a snap, which is uninstallable on the phone :þ18:48
ogra_popey, why would you install the server bit on the phone ?18:48
dobeypopey: running an irc bouncer on your phone is probably not what you want anyway18:48
ogra_you need a remote server that sends the notifications18:48
popeywhy not? :)18:49
dobeybut znc is already packaged in ubuntu too18:49
dobeypopey: because you're not studio?18:49
ogra_popey, because it would be confined and lifecycled18:49
popeytrue :)18:49

ogra_for photos there is nothing better than the MX4 .... also the display is awesome ...18:54
xNeardo any of us use ubuntu touch as main OS?18:54
xNearof you*18:54
xNearsorry18:54
ogra_but the aquaris 4.5 is definitely a lot faster than all the others18:54
mariogripI do, I use bq 4.518:54
dobeyxNear: i mean, if you have a phone running ubuntu, but you don't use it, then it's not going to be the "best" one :)18:54
popeyOnePlusOne is way faster than MX4 or bq e4.518:54
JanCxNear: do you mean for desktop or phone?18:54
popeyand Nexus 4 is faster than 4.518:55
ogra_popey, even than the 4.5 ? wow18:55

popeyUI updates are silky compared to mx4 and bq18:55
sergiusenspopey, force thomas to use the phone as his main phone and the lifecycle restrictions will start to get fixed ;-)18:55

ogra_pmcgowan, works on my N719:40
ogra_make sure to only press the left pair button19:40
pmcgowanogra_, I got prompted for a pin code then it failed19:40
ogra_weird19:40
ogra_havent had any issues with it19:40
pmcgowanok will see what bluetoothctl says19:41
pmcgowanmight work on the tablet19:41
ogra_i havent tried it with a phone yet19:41
pmcgowanogra_, worked on freiza so all good19:43
ogra_hmm, something is wrong with the N719:43
ogra_comes up with bt off ... and turns itself off after a while19:44
pmcgowanogra_, bt got busted ther recently19:44

pmcgowanjohn-mcaleely, that fixed yet?19:44
ogra_not on todays image it seems :)19:44
ogra_pmcgowan, does the freiza fit into the slot ?19:45
pmcgowanit does!19:45

john-mcaleelyie, they know, not me19:48
pmcgowanreally?19:48
pmcgowanits losing connection19:48
charlesI'm looking at bug #1530807 right now and am working on the indicator component of that19:49
ubot5`bug 1530807 in indicator-bluetooth (Ubuntu) "Bluetooth cannot be activated on several devices" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/153080719:49
pmcgowanfeels like bluez crashed19:49
charlesbut that doesn't mean I'm taking on all bluez bugs :-)19:49
pmcgowanits in a state where its not scanning at all19:49
pmcgowancharles, its like settings cant talk to the backend19:50
charlespmcgowan, I think there is something going on in systems-settings19:51
charlesthe part about discoverable / not discoverable in settings in bug 1530807 isn't coming from the indicator, it's coming from code in u-s-s that talks to bluez19:51

pmcgowancharles, this is what I am seeing19:52
pmcgowanI paired the keyboard and its working...19:52
tathhuwell, if m10 fits into k480.. i'm even more goign to buy it :P19:52
pmcgowanthen the device no longer sees it19:52
charleskenvandine, ^19:52
pmcgowanthen the device does see it19:52
pmcgowanbut no settings cannot talk to the backend19:53
pmcgowanI think the daemon may have restarted19:53
charlespmcgowan, I think you can use hciconfig to get a dump of bluez status from the command line19:53
dobeywell i can't seem to pair my mako to my PC right now either. it just says "failed" on the PC, and no magic PIN stuff ever happens on the phone19:54
charlespmcgowan, eg https://launchpadlibrarian.net/233590765/screenshot20160109_140631775.png19:54
kenvandinemy flo never sees devices to connect to19:55
kenvandinecharles, the toggle to turn on and off bluetooth comes from the indicator, but the discoverable thing is just dbus to bluez19:56
kenvandinei think19:56
charleskenvandine, I think that's correct19:56
kenvandineand that's all working fine on my other devices19:56
kenvandineflo is in bad shape though19:56
charleskenvandine, I think there are at least two bugs here, one regarding the indicator toggle and the other in system-settings regarding discoverable19:56
charlesI'm adding u-s-s to 153080719:57
charlesthough maybe it should be in a separate ticket...19:57
kenvandinecharles, no, i think they are the same bug19:57
kenvandinesomeone said if you enable bluetooth from the command line then it all works19:57
kenvandinethe problem is the toggle in the indicator isn't working19:58
* kenvandine isn't even sure how to do that from the cli :)19:58
pmcgowanI have bt enabled it simply wont connect the keyboard again19:58
charleskenvandine, I'm not sure how the indicator could be breaking the discoverable / not discoverable status in systems settings, the indicator doesn't have any of that logic?19:58
kenvandinecharles, i think we can toggle discoverable when bluetooth is disabled19:59
kenvandinewhich seem swrong19:59
kenvandineseems wrong19:59
pmcgowanFailed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed19:59
pmcgowanseems there are multiple problems here19:59
kenvandinecharles, so bluez can report it is discoverable, but other devices won't see it if bluetooth is disabled20:00
charleskenvandine, that's plausible20:00
kenvandinepmcgowan, maybe, but multiple problems only on some devices?20:00
kenvandinecharles, yeah, i think the bluez API lets us interact with it20:00
charlesI don't know if that's what's happening but it passes the sniff test anyway20:00
kenvandineeven though the device is actually blocked20:01
kenvandinesomeday i might understand bluez :)20:01
charleskenvandine, what is the bluetooth settings plugin getting from the indicator? just the on/off flag?20:01
kenvandineyeah20:01
charlesok20:02
charlesI'll see if I can't figure out what's going wrong in the indicator20:02
kenvandinecharles, and i think a restart of indicator-bluetooth makes it work again20:03
MujisiroHi all, is there anyone who successfully installed ubuntu touch on a lg g2?20:04
charleskenvandine, yeah I'm seeing the same thing, and I think someone in-ticket reported that as well20:04
charleskenvandine, it may be a startup timing issue, eg the indicator expecting bluez to be ready for business when the indicator starts20:05
kenvandineyeah, confirmed everything seems peachy after restarting indicator-bluetooth20:05
charlescool20:05
pmcgowankenvandine, Ithe bt panel just isnt initating scans20:07
alecucharles: sounds like what you suspected all along20:07
kenvandinepmcgowan, it is for me20:07
alecucharles: is there a way to steadily reproduce this?20:08
pmcgowankenvandine, it will scan with devices connected right?20:08
kenvandinebut on my flo only after restarting indicator-bluetooth20:08
charlespmcgowan, will it initiate scans after you restart indicator-bluetooth?20:08
kenvandinei just forgot all devices and let it find them again20:08
kenvandineand paired the mouse20:08
kenvandineall worked perfectly20:08
charlesalecu, I don't know how to reproduce it every time yet20:08
kenvandineafter restarting the indicator20:08
pmcgowancharles, how?20:08

alecucharles: I think I managed to get my bq 4.5 into the broken state20:31
alecucharles: I first disable autostart of the bluetooth daemon:20:32
alecuecho "manual" | sudo tee /etc/init/bluetooth.override20:32
alecuthen I reboot20:32
alecuand after everything starts, I run "sudo start bluetooth"20:32
alecuafter that, the on/off switch in indicator and system settings seems to not match20:33
alecuand bluetooth keeps connected all the time, independent of what those switches show.20:33
alecuadded a comment about that to the bug.20:54
