[01:25] <ubot5`> ajeck: The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org and http://askubuntu.com
[01:34] <ajeck> nhaines: why would #ubuntu for ubuntu touch support?
[01:41] <k1l_> ajeck: oh, it did sound like a usb-wifi on laptop issue.
[01:41] <ajeck> k1l_: nah this is a nexus 5
[01:41] <ajeck> has a broadcom chip
[01:42] <k1l_> ok :)
[02:09] <jabawok> hi all.. anyone know how long an ota update from 7 to 9 is meant to take?
[02:10] <jabawok> BQ e5 new out of box -> update
[02:10] <jabawok> been 30mins sofar, stuck on the bq "powered by ubuntu" white boot screen
[02:10] <jabawok> i'll keep waiting a while
[02:11] <Stanley00> jabawok: I think it's just boot logo, the update process will show a rolling circle
[02:11] <jabawok> ah.. thats not good
[02:11] <jabawok> what do u think.. power off/on again?
[02:12] <Stanley00> jabawok: yes
[02:13] <Stanley00> jabawok: in the worst case, you only need to flash the rom again :3
[02:13] <jabawok> yeah looks like i might have to
[02:13] <jabawok> same screen
[02:13]  * jabawok looks up how to do that
[02:14] <jabawok> oh wait
[02:14] <jabawok> look like it posted!
[02:15] <jabawok> the old give it time trick
[02:19] <Stanley00> jabawok: yay, btw, in case you want to reflash, here is the link http://www.mibqyyo.com/descargas/categorias/aquaris-e5-ubuntu-edition/
[02:30] <jabawok> thanks Stanley00.. you rock
[02:55] <ajeck> has anyone run into the problem with /usr running out of space after mounting the system as writable?
[03:25] <duflu> ajeck: Yes, and there are workarounds
[03:26] <duflu> ajeck: http://askubuntu.com/a/660886
[04:25] <abhilabh> hello
[05:51] <ajeck> duflu: thanks,  the most voted one seems interesting.  I wonder if i could figure out a way to edit fstab so that the settings are preserved .
[06:21] <duflu> ajeck: The one I linked to is my technique. It's very fast. Although it baffles people who don't understand how sparse filesystems work :(
[06:21] <duflu> :(
[06:21] <duflu> :)
[06:21]  * duflu has a new keyboard and things are in the wrong place
[06:23] <ajeck> duflu: how so?  the fact that you are adding zeros at the end but not taking space?
[06:25] <duflu> ajeck: Because the same df command without seek= would just wipe the disk instead
[06:25] <duflu> So people are suspicious and worried
[06:26] <ajeck> duflu: ahh, well it did seem simpler
[06:31] <duflu> Hence the warning... /this will either do what you want or wipe your disk (if typed wrong)/
[06:37] <duflu> ajeck: BTW any OTA updates may replace that root image and reset it to 2GB
[06:37] <duflu> So either hack your device, or allow updates, but not both
[06:37] <ajeck> duflu: yah got it.
[06:43] <jabawok> first day with an ubuntu phone for me. loving it so far. Well done to any devs in channel!!
[06:43] <jabawok> so far got owncloud contacts/calendar sync working
[06:44] <jabawok> figuring out rss reader opml import atm
[08:54] <Tm_T> I'm on a proposed channel, I did install some Ubuntu updates yesterday and my Meizu haven't booted up since
[08:55] <Tm_T> is there any debug method I should try before bulldozing over?
[09:40] <JamesTait> Good morning all; happy Tuesday, and happy Innovation Day! 😃
[10:01] <zzarr> hello! I know my phone, Meizu MX4, do not support MHL, but is it possible to use a Displaylink Monitor?
[11:35] <V99> hi
[11:36] <davmor2> zzarr: How are you going to link to it?
[11:49] <victor_bq> Hi!
[11:51] <victor_bq> does anyone knows if there is a way to directly save contacts in SIM through the UI or terminal?
[11:52] <nhaines> No clue!  :)
[11:52] <nhaines> Although actually I know there's *some* way... so better to say I have no clue how.
[11:54] <ogra_> you can definitely import them from the SIM ... but no idea if you can also export, write or store them there
[12:39] <davmor2> victor_bq: not currently, you can pull from but not save to
[12:44] <victor_bq> Ok thanks, seems that we all have the same info :P
[12:45] <victor_bq> I just wanted to mention that because some customers ask from time to time about it
[12:49] <ogra_> victor_bq, you can wait for bfiller to show up ... his team works on that and he knows if/where it is on the roadmap
[12:52] <victor_bq> good to read that =)
[12:55] <davmor2> ogra_, victor_bq: bfiller I think is on holiday this week iirc tiagosh or boiko might be a better bet for now
[13:00] <zzarr> davmor2, a Displaylink GPU is speaking USB
[13:40] <davmor2> zzarr: I doubt very much that it would work, Saviq, mzanetti or kgunn maybe be able to confirm though
[13:40] <mzanetti> no clue
[13:47] <Saviq> zzarr, it would Just Work™, assuming there's drivers, which there are none last I checked
[13:47] <Saviq> zzarr, DisplayLink is really just a GPU connected over USB
[13:48] <Saviq> there's a long-running campaign to convince DisplayLink to supply Linux drivers, but I don't think anything's happening on that front yet
[13:48] <Saviq> with USB-C coming, that might just be wasted work at that point anyway
[13:48] <Saviq> so I wouldn't hold my breath
[13:50] <kgunn> zzarr: fwiw, i'm not familiar
[13:54] <zzarr> Saviq, I know that it is, but on there page it says that the driver is open source
[13:56] <Saviq> zzarr, oh, that's a new development
[14:00] <Saviq> zzarr, so, in theory it should be possible, assuming the OTG support has enough throughput, in practice, though, Mir is using a newer driver model than X (EGL), which might still prove problematic
[14:00] <Saviq> so we'd need newer drivers for DisplayLink (not impossible, especially if they're open source)
[14:00] <Saviq> could be an interesting GSoC project
[14:52] <zzarr> Saviq, I think it's interesting, I hope the source code is good enough (like clean code good)
[14:53] <zzarr> I have to go now, but I leave my XChat open
[14:57] <dobey> zzarr: the displaylink drivers are proprietary. there is a basic open source implementation of an older version of displaylink in the upstream linux kernel.
[14:58] <mterry> pitti, the language-pack-touch packages haven't been regenerated in the stable-phone-overlay PPA since we commited that 'pam' fix.  Can we remake them to test that change?
[15:20] <jgdx> charles, hey, that settings:///system/location system settings branch is ready for your silo. Which silo was it?
[15:21] <charles> jgdx, ubuntu/landing-012 in https://requests.ci-train.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/949
[15:23] <charles> jgdx, want me to add https://code.launchpad.net/~jonas-drange/ubuntu-system-settings/lp1533835/+merge/285603 and rebuild?
[15:25] <jgdx> charles, yes, please. That would be great.
[15:25] <jgdx> kenvandine, could you take a look at that branch as well? ^ maybe seb128 too
[15:28] <seb128> jgdx, not likely today but maybe tomorrow if nobody beats me to it
[15:28] <jgdx> seb128, ack. Thanks
[15:28] <kenvandine> jgdx, sure
[16:13] <zzarr> dobey, thanks for clarifying that
[16:20] <pitti> mterry: I started the cronjob, but not sure if that makes any sense -- we need a new RTM export
[16:20] <pitti> mterry: but if this one fails, the cron'ed one will run in about 18 hours
[16:48] <joe_w> hi, mail app dekko icon has stopped working, can remove/move, cant load though....restart works but then stops again...any help would be appreciated
[16:49] <joe_w> *on side launcher
[16:53] <DanChapman> joe_w, that's probably bug 1541388. Looks like it's been fixed already
[16:53] <ubot5`> bug 1541388 in Canonical System Image "Icons in launcher sometimes refuse to launch application" [Critical,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1541388
[16:55] <joe_w> DanChapman, thanks
[17:02] <pitti> mterry: as I feared -- I just got the two metric tons of REJECT emails
[17:03] <mterry> pitti, so we need a new RTM export as you said above?  Does that require manual intervention or will that just happen on schedule?
[17:03] <pitti> mterry: it'll all happen automagically tomorrow
[17:04] <pitti> mterry: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-rtm/15.04/+language-packs FYI
[17:04] <mterry> pitti, good enough  :)  Thanks for trying early anyway
[17:04]  * pitti should have looked at that page first before firing the cronjob :)
[17:04] <pitti> sorry universe for heating you up a bit more in vain
[17:08] <mterry> :)
[17:48] <NwS> Heya guys a quick Q. Will Ubuntu introduce a convergence mobile in WMC (together with the tablet)?
[17:50] <OerHeks> It is MWC, and yes, http://news.softpedia.com/news/canonical-will-be-present-at-mwc-2016-to-showcase-its-ubuntu-convergence-500338.shtml
[17:51] <NwS> Ehm yeah MWC messed up the letters xD tyvm
[17:53] <lotuspsychje> and OerHeks will prob buy the new meizu 5 pro :p
[17:53] <OerHeks> nope, as it will be more expensive .. unless i win the jackpot
[17:54] <NwS> I'm waiting to buy my first Ubuntu phone too
[17:54] <OerHeks> BQ5 it is
[17:54] <NwS> No ty :P ugly
[17:54]  * lotuspsychje is the proud owner of Bq 4.5
[17:54] <NwS> I would buy the Meizu MX4 but it was sold out
[17:55] <NwS> And then some guys here told me that it wouldn't support convergence anyway so I am still waiting :P
[17:56] <NwS> Hopefully I'll have enough money to buy it within the next months.. We'll see.
[17:56] <lotuspsychje> here $$$$$$
[18:33] <dasjoe> I experience an issue with OTA-9, when connecting a BT keyboard to my Nexus 4 I can close the "Scopes" application (if it doesn't crash by itself, that is) and then can't find a way to restart it
[19:02] <jamie1> hey i am wanting to work on porting ubuntu touch to the z3c, right now i am on 15.10, should i be on 14.04 to be working on it? some of the stuff for building is only for utopic
[19:29] <dasjoe> As it turns out "Scopes" disappears about half the time. When it doesn't disappear by itself I can close the window, which then tries to reopen itself for a few times before giving up
[19:29] <dasjoe> Any way to get it back? :)
[19:40] <Guest37661> hello
[19:43] <dobey> dasjoe: "restart unity8-dash" maybe
[20:08] <Guest37661> can i install ubuntu touch on arm a8 devices
[20:08] <jamie1> Guest37661: if there is a port available for your device
[20:08] <Guest37661> port as in?
[20:09] <Guest37661> like boot from micro sd card
[20:10] <jamie1> what device are you trying to put ubuntu touch on?
[20:11] <Guest37661> ubislate 7c+
[20:11] <jamie1> Guest37661: here is the list of devices that ubuntu touch is currently work on
[20:11] <jamie1> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices
[20:12] <Guest37661> Thanks, but I looked up the list before. Can I boot from sd card in android
[20:14] <dobey> Guest37661: you can't boot anything, if your device wasn't ported
[20:14] <jamie1> it cant communicate with the hardware without the device being ported to
[20:32] <ahoneybun> is it a bug if the icon in the Dash is not updated with the new one?
[20:32] <ahoneybun> uNav in this case
[20:36] <dasjoe> dobey: well, that would require an adb connection via USB. I'm on the go, with just the phone and a bluetooth keyboard
[20:37] <dobey> dasjoe: no, you can use the terminal app
[20:37] <dobey> i suppose you would need it to be running at the time, though
[20:37] <dobey> or at least, in the launcher
[20:38] <dobey> ahoneybun: possibly, but highly unlikely
[20:38] <ahoneybun> I unpinned it and repinned it, and it was updated dobey
[20:38] <ahoneybun> thanks
[20:39] <dobey> ahoneybun: you mean the launcher didn't auto-update then?
[20:39] <dasjoe> dobey: oh right, I'll try that
[20:42] <ahoneybun> no the icon was the old white one
[20:42] <ahoneybun> not the new blue one
[20:43] <dasjoe> dobey: it opens and immediately gets killed (by TRAP signal, according to .xsession-errors)
[20:43] <dobey> ahoneybun: you mean in the launcher, though, not the dash? the dash doesn't have things pinned in it (unless you went about tweaking some gsettings by hand)
[20:43] <ahoneybun> launcher I mean, sorry
[20:43] <dobey> dasjoe: sounds like it could be a bug then; do you have anything in /var/crash ?
[20:44] <dasjoe> dobey: nope, it's empty
[20:47] <dobey> hmm
[20:47] <dobey> dasjoe: i'd suggest filing a bug to get started then
[20:52] <dasjoe> dobey: right, filed :)
[21:34] <QuentinQuaadgras> Hi can anyone help me with installing Ubuntu Touch on an i386 touchscreen laptop?
[21:35] <QuentinQuaadgras> I have the images but I am unsure how to format the partitions
[21:57] <QuentinQuaadgras> anyone here?
[21:57] <QuentinQuaadgras> Is this the right place to ask or can someone point me somewhere?
