nhainesmhall119: on the one hand I'm surprised and disappointed to hear that OTA-10 won't be until the end of March.04:02
nhainesOn the other hand, I run rc-proposed anyway so trololol.04:02
mhall119nhaines: yeah, same here :)04:02
mhall119there's likely to be a 9.x OTA between now and then though04:02
nhainesSure, with the glib hotfix and nothing else.  :)04:03
talonzwhat happened to 9.5 ?05:49
nhainestalonz: a far more important security update came up and that was more important than the three other things the devel team are juggling.06:02

lotuspsychjedacorr_: ubuntu getting alot attention worldwide07:02
lotuspsychjeand 16.04 comming our way, will expand even more07:03

cbainesI have installed an app on my device through the store, and would like the coresponding source. Can I just find this online?14:36
mcphailcbaines: is the app open source?14:37
cbainesmcphail, No, its free software (licenced under the GNU GPLv3) (at least according to the ubuntu store)14:39
popeywhich app?14:39
cbainesIts called WorkMate14:39
cbainesI tried searching for it here, but with no luck https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/search/?q=WorkMate&op=14:40
popeynot sure, but it's qml so you have the source on your phone14:41
popeyin /opt/click.ubuntu.com/14:42
cbainesInteresting, thanks popey :)14:44
popeynp :)14:44
popeyobviously that wouldn't work with a C++ app, but happens to work in this instance14:44

NycticebuscoucanHi Guys, since the OTA-9 one app (namely OSM Scout) crashes every time I press the download map button. But it began already to behave strangely before the update. Simple unistalling and reistalling did not change anything.  Do you think that a complete removing of the app (via the console?!) might change anything and if yes how can I do that? Otherwise would it be possible to somehow "unisntall" only OTA-9 without loosing16:27

tonypHi everyone, I am trying out creating a webapp. I have created one with Webapp generator and want to try it out on my BQ phone. I have copied it to my phone and run <adb shell pkcon install-local --allow-untrusted path-to.click> but it does not appear in my apps scope.  Any ideas why?16:34
ogra_tonyp, try a pull down refresh16:34
tonypDone that16:35
ogra_manually sideloaded apps are not automatically picked up16:35
IZhtvoss: Could you please point me to its git?16:35
ogra_https://code.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/mtp/trunk16:36
ogra_bzr ... not git :)16:36
peat-psuwitanpok: When I pressed on the button, then slide the finger out off the button (it's touch screen button), it'll always repeatedly press that button.16:36
anpokpeat-psuwit: ah ok .. best thing you could do is look inside the kernel.. those android button faking touchscreen usually have configuration options to ignore touches outside the screen area16:37
anpokmaybe even a runtime option16:37
peat-psuwitanpok: looking in dmesg and kernel's code, it seems like it'll emit BUTTON_CANCLED event when that happen16:37
popeytonyp: pull down the scope to refresh16:37
anpokpeat-psuwit: oh a specific event for that.. hm can you install evtest and paste the logs for such a scenario16:38
tonyppopey: I have done that hundreds of times :-)16:38
peat-psuwitanpok: I'll try.16:39
tonyppopey: and just rebooted16:39
mhall119tvoss: mariogrip:it looks like the FP2 rev 9 might already be using Mir 0.19.3 (checking apt-cache)16:39
IZhtvoss: But why it is not on the https://code-review.phablet.ubuntu.com/#/admin/projects/ page? What is the page containing all phone's packages?16:39
peat-psuwitanpok: also, the buttons' mapping seems strange. For example when I press 'menu' button, I'll get character 'e'.16:39
ogra_IZh, thats only the android container contents ... has nothing to do with the actual OS16:40
mariogripmhall119: Can you check /var/log/lightdm/unity-system-compositor.log16:40
IZhogra_: Ah... And is there the page about actual OS?16:41
mariogripmhall119: at the top it will say  the version16:41
ogra_IZh, not really about the middle ware ... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Avengers is there, but for the higher level (UI and all)16:41
IZhogra_: Thanks.16:42
popeytonyp: did it install okay? I mean, do you see it in /opt/click.ubuntu.com/16:42
ogra_IZh, there is a manifest file for the image contents at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/vivid/daily-preinstalled/current/vivid-preinstalled-touch-armhf.manifest ... but thats probably already to much detail again :)16:42
IZhogra_: And as I see, it's not the git but the bazar? :-)16:43

talonzif you cannot use convergence via usb and wireless convergence is not implimented yet then i would say theres no convergence22:18
k1l_so its not soldered internally? or softwarewise?22:18
k1l_i thought ubuntu guys were working on aethercast22:19
talonzi do not know k1l_22:19
talonzyeah they are working on some kinda cast solution and i hope they succeed so much better than dealing with wires22:19
mariogrippopey: oh, that no cool... the phone seems to be in every norwegian news site22:20
k1l_talonz: the chip in the bq phones could do mhl, but its not soldered on the devices.22:21
kkihi22:22
popeytalonz: there's a ton of stuff that's not finished yet22:23
popeyeven if you did have hdmi out, there's still a load of stuff that isn't complete. the "Convergence" story isn't finished yet22:24
popeyit's not like apple or google where the code gets thrown over the wall at WWDC or Google IO. We develop in the open, so while you can get a device today, tomorrow (or next month) you might get the wireless display22:24
popeyso again, saying "no convergence" is misleading22:25
popeybecause the whole thing is "not yet", not "never"22:25
kkiis there anyone who can help me to recover my E5? I spent several hours to find solution, but i was not successful.22:25
talonzyeah i know popey but selling a device to developers and enthusiasts with out the ability to explore convergence is upsetting22:25
mariogripkki: Do you want to fully reflash the device?22:26
kkiyes22:27
talonzand yeah im sorry i should of used my words more acurately ... "the inablility to use convergence at launch..."22:27
mcphailtalonz: The more phones, the merrier imho. I don't mind if some will not (easily) support convergence as long as some will... eventually22:28
popeyi give up22:28
mariogripkki: Then reboot into bootloader (fastboot mode) and run ubuntu-device-flash touch --channel=ubuntu-touch/stable/ubuntu --bootstrap from your pc22:29
mcphailtalonz: the new meizu doesn't appeal to me, but if someone was looking to buy an Ubuntu phone as a phone (i.e. what I've been using the bq for for the past 10 months) it looks like a good bet22:29
mariogripkki: if that doesn't work try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/602035/how-do-i-use-ubuntu-device-flash-with-the-bq-aquaris-e4-5-and-aquaris-e522:30
dobeymariogrip: the bq recovery image will also be required as documented on the devices wiki22:30
dobeythe recovery-vegetahd.img22:30
mariogripdobey: Yeah, i just saw that,22:31
mariogripkki: use the last link i sendt to you, that should work22:31
kkimariogrip: I fond it too, but i get this error, and I can't foundout how to solve it: mkdir /root/.cache: permission denied22:31
talonzmcphail: the 5 pro looks like a great phone and i will probably buy it soon but as i mentioned earlier not having convergence is a little disapointing. popey sorry if i frustrate you i dont hate just hope for so much more22:32
mariogripkki: try running it as sudo22:32
popeysure, sorry22:32
k1l_biggest issue is: to get more phones out in the wild.22:33
talonzit has been a long time since an mobile operating system has truely excited me. sailfish and firefox got nothing on this22:33
popeyso far today I have seen complaints that the pro doesn't have a) convergence, b) wirless charging, c) fast charge, d) full-capability usb-c, d) removable battery....22:33
popeyeveryone has their wishlist22:33
mcphailtalonz: if plugged-in convergence is important to you, wait a little longer and see if a new device supports it. If you're simply looking for a cool Ubuntu phone, it would be nice to support Meizu. I think it is cool both bq and meizu have gone for a 2nd device22:33
k1l_microsoft only did this while paying a lot of money.  others completly failed at it. look at webos, or firefox os or jolla.22:33
popeyPersonally I think it's nothing short of astounding that a tiny company like Canonical can do this22:33
k1l_so every new phone is a good phone right now.22:33
kkiperfect, It is works, but i did it as root. so I don't understand22:33
kkiThank you22:34
mariogripkki: np :)22:34
talonzcanonical is awesome22:34
k1l_talonz: if you want a convergence capable phone by a used nesxus4 :)22:35
talonzk1l_: i got a nexus 4 and love it but thanks22:35
talonzmcphail: bq are on their 3rd device now with a 4th on the way ?22:36
mcphailtalonz: hope so22:37
popeyfingers crossed22:38
popeyI heard more devices were going to be demo'ed at MWC next week22:38
dobeypopey: i'm so upset the pro 5 doesn't have unicorns22:38
popeyI'm not, I hate unicorns22:38
dobeyk1l_: lol. i wouldn't say webos failed exactly.22:39
mcphailtalonz: I'd love an Ubuntu device with a Psion Series 5 form factor. I suspect I'm not ever going to get it, but I can dream ;)22:40
dobeyk1l_: more like, webos was murdered.22:40
k1l_dobey: well, i got a hp touchpad tablet. so i would say: yes :)22:40
k1l_dobey: i dont know what hp did think when selling that for the ipad prices.22:40
dobeyk1l_: that's a poor attitude to have22:41
=== steev_ is now known as steev
k1l_dobey: webos was quite good actually. but because the devices were way to expensive there wasnt enough users to get more developers to do apps etc. etc. and when the firesale went on everyone just wanted to put android on it.22:42
lpotteras far as I know, pro 5 will have convergence, not through hdmi, but through Jedi mind tricks22:42
popeymcphail: you can buy clip-on keyboards, I bought one for an iphone 4s, it was a bizarre experience22:43
dobeyk1l_: the devices were not that expensive. they were no more expensive than other phones.22:43
popeybe nice for someone to make a nice slimline clip on keyboard for an ubuntu phone, but that's only likely with very wide adoption22:43
dobeywould be nice for someone to make a phone that's a decent size, and has a built-in slide out keyboard22:44
k1l_dobey: the touchpad was ipad pricerange back then.22:44
mariogrippopey: are you going to mwc?22:44
popeynope, I'm going to Embedded World next week22:45
popeyI'm not pretty enough to go to MWC :)22:45
mariogrippopey: Awww, i'm sure you are :)22:45
* lpotter remembers when everyone wanted small phones22:45
k1l_i have given up on wanting a qwertz slider smartphone :/22:45
dobeyk1l_: and your point is? if HP didn't kill everything, you'd be complaining the iPad was priced at the same point as the touchpad, instead.22:45
dobeylpotter: it was 5 minutes ago22:45
popeyi still want a small phone22:45
lpotterseems that way22:45
popeyiphone 4s was (IMO) the best form factor22:45
popeybut the OnePlus X is close22:46
popeyIMO22:46
lpotteri feel the pro 5 is a bit too big, really. hard to navigate with one hand22:46
mariogrippopey: the opo is perfect size, anything smaler than that is had to use22:46
mariogriphard*22:46
k1l_dobey: no. hp priced it to high. that made sell it not good enough. then they pulled the  trigger and got rid of it in the firesale.22:46
popeyhah22:46
talonzi loved and still love the n90022:46
popeyOPO feels like a door in my hands22:46
k1l_dobey: ipad like pricing as a newcomer was the main issue, imho.22:46
popeyyeah, i loved the idea of the n90022:46
mcphailpopey: 7 inch screen, desktop mode and fold-out keyboard would be perfect for me22:47
popeyditto22:47
popeylets make a phone!22:47
mcphailha!22:47
mariogriplike the bq 4.5 i have to have to have to phone 4cm from the face to see a youtube video22:47
dobeyk1l_: no. hp killed it all like the day after the touchpad was released22:47
* mariogrip cannot spell22:47
popeyi cant focus 4 cm from my face :)22:47
* popey is old22:47
k1l_popey: i got used to my nexus6 better than i thought.22:47
popeyi bought a one plus x and love it dearly22:47
dobeyk1l_: main issue is that HP had no bloody idea what the hell they wanted to do22:47
mariogrippopey: got ubuntu touch on that ;)22:48
k1l_dobey: i totally agree on hp ruined it.22:48
lpottern950 was better than n900, imho22:48
lpotterbut I might be biased22:48
popeymariogrip: i will when you port it ㋛22:49
popeytrue22:49
popeyn950 was a really nice device22:49
lpotterya, sadly I had to turn in my dali when they fired us22:49
dobeyiphone 4s is probably the perfect size. it just needs to be a slider, and have a good OS on it22:49
mariogrippopey: that's next on my list :) I kinda want to use that as my daily driver, it's so pretty :)22:49
talonzlpotter: i never had the n950 ;[22:50
popey:( lpotter22:50
popeythere's still a few canonicalers who hang on to their n9 and 95022:50
lpotterit was actually ok, because the one I had had no bluetooth22:50
k1l_dobey: it was one1,5 months after the touchpads start. yes, that is not enought time.22:50
lpottersomeone wanting a phone w/ keyboard could get a jolla with that keyboard TOH attachment22:51
* mcphail needs an Ubuntu device opening like this - https://d262ilb51hltx0.cloudfront.net/max/800/0*04pEuXPD9veCdeb7.gif22:51
dobeylpotter: nope. that is awful22:52
lpotter:)22:52
k1l_the motorola milestone was quite nice. the locked bootloader was a pain.22:52
lpotterdobey: never had the keyboard22:52
k1l_mcphail: that looks like a lot is going to break22:54
mariogriplpotter: you could buy a 3D printer and make a mount for a bt keyboard and mount that on the phone22:54
mariogrip:)22:54
popeymcphail: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psion_Series_5#/media/File:2005-04-16_Psion_Serie_5mx_PRO_24MB_beschn_unscharf_scharf.JPG22:54
popeythat kinda thing?22:54
popeymariogrip: that would be awesome too22:54
mcphailk1l_: you'd be surprised. There was a weak ribbon connector from body to screen which had a tendency to break, but post-hoc replacements fixed that flaw22:54
dobeylpotter: i can't stand the sideways keyboards22:55
mcphailpopey: yep - you ever used one. Best keyboard on a PDA _ever_22:55
popeyno22:55
lpotterI'm waiting for T9 keyboard22:55
dobeyeww22:56
popeyI bought an interesting portable device with a built in keyboard off ebay recently22:56
popeyruns on AA batteries...22:56
popeySinclair Z88 :)22:56
mcphailI'd love a Z88!22:56
popeyits a hilarious device :)22:56
popeywhen i got my Logitech K480 bluetooth keyboard it made me think of the Z88 and they're very similar sizes22:57
mariogripthe question, will it run ubuntu touch22:57
popeyhah22:57
popeyI used to love writing Z80 assembler22:57
mcphailI love anything with a Z80 chip, tbh.22:57
popeyditto22:57
popeyi have 3 CPCs and a couple of speccys in the loft :)22:57
popeywish I had a z80 co-pro for the bbc micro22:57
mcphailI regret binning my speccy, but it did turn into a smouldering heap as I bodge-fixed the keyboard membrane...22:58
popeyheh22:58
mcphailpopey: you going to get a vega+ ?22:59
popeytempted22:59
mcphailI need to find some way to sneak that one past t'wife23:00
popeyPart of me wants to build a portable gaming device with a pi2, screen, joystick etc23:00
popeybut then realise I'll never get enough tuits23:01
popeystill watching that psion gif btw23:01
popeymuch better than BBC QT23:01
mcphailooh - forgot about QT23:02
