pmcgowanthe plumbing has been made to work but there is UI work to be done14:54
Guest26605pmcgowan, so cups is working?14:56
pmcgowanGuest26605, yes but not sure everything is in the image yet14:57
pmcgowansorry not a very good answer, the work was done to enable it, I woul dneed to check the status of the packages14:58
Guest26605what channel is working ?15:00
Guest26605devel-proposed ?15:00
popeydevel-proposed isn't a good channel to try - that's xenial15:00
popeyand I don't think any other channel has the cups parts all in15:01
Guest26605isnt't xenial the "next"?15:01
popeyeh?15:02
popeyall our currently supported images are based off vivid15:02
Guest26605xenial is working fine here on a desktop15:02
popeysame here15:03
popeythe phone image is built differently though15:03
popeyand xenial images aren't fully tested so not supported yet15:03

* lotuspsychje doesnt have any other devices in the house then ubuntu15:16
Guest26605what about the "fstab.mt8163", will it in the future support "auto" for the filesystem?15:16
mcphaillotuspsychje: Ta, but it is really thanks to the team for making this happen!15:16
lotuspsychjemcphail: for sure, they have changed the world with this15:17
Guest26605"/devices/mtk-msdc.0/11240000.MSDC1 auto vfat defaults voldmanaged=sdcard1:auto" is not so nice15:19
Guest26605why vfat?15:21
=== dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader
Guest26605normally "auto" also should work15:22
Guest26605isn't it?15:24
mcphailGuest26605: man mount says "if your data is valuable, don't ask mount to guess"15:28
Guest26605I am not talking about "man mount" I am talking about the "fstab.mt8163"15:29
Guest26605I mean the  fstab.mt8163 inside the "recovery-frieza.img-kernel.img"15:33
mcphailGuest26605: why do you think that has nothing to do with "man mount"?15:34
Guest26605because mount supports "auto" for the file system, but it is not included?!15:35
mcphail15:28 < mcphail> Guest26605: man mount says "if your data is valuable, don't ask mount to guess"15:36
mcphailGuest26605: it is always best practice to be explicit about the filesystem15:37
mimecargood evening...16:02
mimecarAre Ubuntu Phone core applications developped with C or QML?16:05
mcphailmimecar: mainly QML and C++, form what I've seen16:05
mcphail*from16:05
mimecarOk , I'm thinking program some things and wanted to know the language that was more likely .16:06
mimecarI think I will start with QML16:06
mcphailmimecar: you can, of course, develop your own apps in whatever language you choose16:06
mimecaryes, I use Java on Android and I would like learn other language16:07
mimecarthere is not problem with QML and C++16:07
mcphailmimecar: that is the best supported combination (or, for more limited apps, QML + javascript)16:08
mimecarok16:08

taiebotbtw i confirm the gps regression is not only due to unav here maps is showing the same behaviour16:51
pmcgowantaiebot, you mean the crash? that should be fixed in current image16:57
taiebotpmcgowan: no it does not crash anymore. After like 2min in the navigation the location stop getting updated.16:59
pmcgowanhmm17:00
dobeytaiebot: you might be able to get some more info/help tomorrow. most of EU people are away today17:00

lib7404coding c++ on Ubuntu Touch19:42
lib7404Is this possible to compile on the tablet?19:43
popeyyup19:44
popeymake a chroot and build inside that19:44
mcphaillib7404: yes, but not really a good idea for most people19:44
lib7404Ideally, I would love to be able to leave my system76 laptop at home (6+ lbs). I sometimes need to write some quick code at a clients office or tweak something or another.19:45
lib7404The BQ M10 FHD seems to be rather weal on the RAM (2GB)19:46
lib7404weak19:46
mcphaillib7404: remember you'll have to cross compile if you want to generate x86 code. That adds extra complexity19:47
lib7404ahh yes.19:47
lib7404The other option I have is python. Is that available?19:49
mcphailyes. Again, probably best building a chroot on the phone if you want to install different modules etc19:50
lib7404Ok. Will the OTA updates be an issue if software is added?19:51
mcphaillib7404: not if you use a chroot to install your custom things19:52
lib7404Great. Many thanks!19:52
mcphaillib7404: enjoy!19:52
popeylib7404: while python is on the phone, there's no guarantee it always will be19:53
lib7404I was looking into getting the M10 Tablet.19:54

EOBeavSo....how soon are we to having a working ubuntu phone in the US?21:15
dobeyEOBeav: well, if you buy a nexus 4 off ebay and flash it, you'll have one :)21:23
dobeybut as for avaialble from a carrier, that's up to manufacturers/carriers. so best to keep asking your carrier for an ubuntu phone21:24
EOBeavReally...is there some good documentation for doing this?21:24
dobeyyes21:24
dobey!devices | EOBeav21:24
ubot5EOBeav: You can find the full list of devices, official images, community images, and works in progress at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices21:24
EOBeavNice, thanks for the heads up. I'm in the market for a new phone and was just wondering what's available in ubuntu.21:24
dobeyi use it on my nexus 5, but it doesn't have bluetooth support on that device, and battery life isn't great, so may not be what you want21:26
dobeyanyway, i have to go now21:26
dobeygood luck :)21:26
PhantisyI have a Nexus 7 2012 and I am trying to install the grouper ubuntu image to it22:50
Phantisycan I do this through my ubuntu desktop commandline?22:51
Phantisyor can I do it through TWRP?22:52
mcphailPhantisy: not sure. The 2012 Nexus 7 hasn't been supported for ages. Are you sure you want to install? The build will be archaic and unsupported23:00
PhantisyI was just curious to try it out. Is it something that can be used for a daily driver?23:00
mcphailPhantisy: I've never tried it, but the reports are bad23:01
mcphailPhantisy: if it works at all, it is going to be a security nightmare. It won't have been patched in ages23:02
PhantisyAlright. I was just wanting to install it and mess around. I have had the tablet sitting around collecting dust.23:05
mcphailPhantisy: if you ask again in European office hours tomorrow, I'm sure someone will be around who has experience with that device23:06
PhantisyAlright. I work  overnight so I am sure I will be awake when they are around. Thank you for your time.23:07
