jabawokcan anyone think of a creative solution to disable suspending background tasks on ubuntu touch?05:14
jabawokI've found the place in qtmir's session.cpp where the suspension stuff is happenning. I was thinking if I can find this constant in the binary I could just hexedit it:05:16
jabawokm_suspendTimer->start(1500);05:16
jabawokbut the QTimer class only accepts an int, so I could only delay suspension by a max of 32768ms05:18
Stanley00jabawok: that's just nearly 33 seconds... :(05:19
jabawokyeah, would have liked to set it to like 2 weeks or something to effectively and easily disable suspension05:19
jabawokwithout hacking around too much05:19
jabawoktheres almost zero scenarios where i want a background process suspended.05:20

orsonmmzdo you know if there is any xmpp client available?07:48
orsonmmzor if there is someone working on one?07:48
jabawokorsonmmz: not that i know of, i'm chasing one as well08:04
jabawokmy "solution" is to ssh into a server and run centericq08:04
jabawokits a really really poor solution - as soon as you alt-tab out of the terminal the ssh session gets dropped as the terminal gets a SIGSTOP08:04
jabawokcentericq within screen so you can reconnect if the phone goes to sleep or you switch tasks08:05
jabawokits horendously bad compared to a native app, but its something08:05
orsonmmzjabawok: ok, thanks ;)08:06

Tm_TAvasz: I believe that goes to translation team in question12:33
AvaszTm_T: and where do I contact the translation team? I installed Ubuntu touch ony yesterday so am not familiar with how the community/organization works, so would be nice if I can get some kickstart. :)12:34
Tm_TAvasz: which language?12:34
AvaszNepali12:35
AvaszThere is not Nepali locale available.12:35
Avaszbut the spelling of the country while choosing the country at start is incorrect.12:36
Tm_TAvasz: hmmm, I wonder if it still derived from something from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-ne12:36
AvaszLet me check if such mistake is there or not.12:37
Avaszno. Everything is correct there.12:37
Tm_TAvasz: I assume a good point to start then might be https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+filebug12:39
Tm_TI'm unsure, but worth trying maybe12:39
AvaszSure, maybe someone who know can guide me from there. :)12:40

GabedukeI installed Ubuntu touch onto a device and the bottom half of the touch screen does not accept touch points which means I can't get past the login screen. Is there a way to enable developer mode from the device recovery possibly so I can remote to the phone?14:50
lotuspsychjeGabeduke: wich device?14:51
GabedukeNexus 414:51
lotuspsychjeGabeduke: wich channel?14:51
k1l_Gabeduke: uh, i had that on my nexus4 too. it was hardware failure.14:51
lotuspsychjeoh14:52
GabedukeStable14:52
timeaxCan u attach an usb keypoard and login through it?14:52
GabedukeUnfortunately I INR have an otg cable but if need be I can get one14:53
GabedukeDon't*14:53
timeaxUnderstood14:54
timeaxWhen u had android on it u had the same problem?14:54
GabedukeI was just curious if there was an alternative way to get in14:54
lotuspsychjeGabeduke: wich channel did you install on your device?14:55
GabedukeYeah same problem which is why I'm putting Ubuntu on it14:55
timeaxSo probably its the digitizer14:55
timeaxI think with 20/30 bucks u could find a new one14:56
greybackGabeduke: it should be possible using adb via recovery mode. You goal would be to create this file: "/userdata/.adb_onlock"  - note that /userdata is probably mounted from /system/var/lib/lxc/android/system.img14:56
GabedukeYeah that's another option. Alright thanks y'all ;)14:57
greybackGabeduke: oh, easier option: Use --developer-mode switch to udf14:57
timeaxGrayback are u expert in ubuntu touch portingd?14:57
GabedukeAwesome ty @greyback14:57
greybacktimeax: nope, sorry. I work on unity8. Device porting not my thing14:58
timeaxOk tnx anyway,i'm trying to port ubuntu touch on my xiaomi mi2s14:59
timeaxBut having some troubles14:59
timeaxI'm not expert in linux and first time i attempt to make a port :D14:59
greybackwell, you've got a difficult road ahead. Good luck!15:00
timeaxAhaha yep i noticed...15:00
timeaxI was able to make a build,but i bet something gone wrong15:01
timeaxIts 500 mb but there aren't boot.img and a lot of folders i found in the nexus 4 porting15:02
timeaxSo i think that build its not complete15:03
timeaxNobody online who could help me in making this port?15:04
lotuspsychjetimeax: i already suggested you the XDA forums15:04
lotuspsychjetimeax: start a project there, see if you get any help maybe15:05
Mirvjgdx: it's in QA queue right now, and actually under testing already. so it should land soon.15:05
jgdxMirv, okay, i'll subscribe to the qa trello card15:06
timeaxYep i think i should do like u say,but chatting directly with an expert will save me a lot of time15:06
lotuspsychjetimeax: alot of porting experts at XDA also15:07
lotuspsychjetimeax: maybe download all existing images of ports and look inside, see what you can learn?15:07
timeaxYep i know...i follow xda since i bought my old hp rw6815 :D15:08
lotuspsychjetimeax: there is no one-hit-button for a new port im affraid15:08
timeaxYeah thats a good idea too :D15:08
timeaxAhahhag lol i know,i'm doing that not coz i want ubuntu touch on my phone, but coz i wanna learn :D15:09
lotuspsychjetimeax: you develop stuff normally?15:09
timeaxNot exactly15:10
timeaxJust started with that15:10
Gabeduke@grayback can I set that flag through adb in recovery?15:10
lotuspsychjetimeax: you might have a hard time then :p maybe join #snappy also, alot of experts there too15:11
timeaxOh tnx now i go checking if its somebody online there :)15:11

timeaxNice phone the pro 515:17
timeaxBut i'll buy xiaomi mi5...its a beast :D15:17
timeaxAnd affordable price15:18
lotuspsychjetimeax: maybe after you port your device, the whole worl will use your image15:19
lotuspsychjetimeax: so dont give up on us right!15:19
timeaxYep i'm very determinate to complete this project :D15:21
lotuspsychjethats the spirit mate15:22
lotuspsychjetimeax: wich ubuntu ported phone resembles the most on your device?15:23
lotuspsychjetimeax: hardwarewise15:23
timeaxI started two weeks ago, i spent 1 entire week only for downloading all the necessary and setup my pc lol15:23
timeaxMy phon got qualcomm snapdragon 60015:24
lotuspsychjetimeax: maybe find the ported touch phone that looks most like yours15:25
lotuspsychjeand investigate the image inside15:25
timeaxThe nexus 4 got the early version15:25
timeaxI should find if the galaxy s4 was already ported15:25
timeaxOr htc one m715:26
timeaxNow i take  a look :)15:26

dobeyM-bobsummerwill: they are all built primarily from the same Ubuntu archive. phone and iot images generally have to use custom kernels with proprietary drivers though, which are not in the archive; phone images also have some .click packages installed, which are not part of the ubuntu archive, and snappy-based images for iot things have snaps. i'm not entirely sure how much in the way of .deb packages the snap-based images use19:28

faenilplus I disable wifi, reenable it, and it take 2 mins (next scan interval) to see APs in the UI :(23:57
faenilor, it takes years before it recognizes some APs are gone, when it does..23:57
faenilsometimes I wake the phone up after a couple of hours, and it's still showing the APs that were available before I put it to suspend 2h before...23:58
lpotterwifi probably goes to sleep?23:58
faenillpotter: not sure (it shouldn't show stale APs in any case)...otherwise why would it try to connect to "iPhone" while it's in my pocket23:59
lpotterahhh ok23:59
dobeynetwork-manager probably hasn't rescanned since23:59
