mhanne | i'm still trying to get ubuntu touch onto an aquaris e5.. i managed to install twrp now, with a "vegetalte" rescue image. but ubuntu-device-flash doesn't recognize this device, it only has "vegetahd"... am i right in assuming that this means i'm out of luck? | 15:36 |

ahoneybun | Nexus 7 | 18:45 |
ahoneybun | man the camera is broken on here | 18:51 |
dobey | broken how? | 18:53 |
ahoneybun | the rotation is all off and does not record video | 18:59 |
ahoneybun | well then | 19:00 |
dobey | the camera rotation is being fixed i think | 19:03 |
dobey | iirc, same issue existed on the m10 | 19:04 |

altker128 | Is there a build of Firefox for Ubuntu-Touch? | 21:08 |
Acou_Bass | i dnt think so - only the ARM one for running in libertine | 21:11 |
dobey | no, there isn't a build designed for the phone interface. the tablet has it installed by default in the legacy apps container though | 21:11 |
Acou_Bass | the stock browser is pretty nice anyway ;D i like it | 21:12 |
Acou_Bass | obviously not as featured as desktop firefox but which phone browser is? | 21:12 |
dobey | the "firefox mobile" tree could probably be built, and a package made, but i'd suspect it is quite a bit of work to do | 21:13 |
Acou_Bass | you mean, the android version? or the old-timey Fennec version? | 21:14 |
dobey | i mean whatever. firefox is open source :) | 21:14 |
altker128 | Well, the idea if one gets Firefox with desktop capability is the ability to use plugins...like noscript ;) | 21:14 |
kaisoz | Hi | 21:23 |
Paddy_NI | Yikes http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/05/bq-m10-ubuntu-tablet-review-crazy-slow | 22:17 |
Acou_Bass | ;( | 22:21 |
Paddy_NI | I do think that these devices should be sold with a strong emphasis on the words "Early adopters, Unfinished/Experimental and possibly Developer Edition" being used as liberally as possible so as to not create a bad impression on the uninitiated | 22:24 |
Acou_Bass | im watching a couple videos of people using it... doesnt look any slower than it is on my nexus 4 | 22:26 |
Acou_Bass | which is completely usable | 22:26 |
Paddy_NI | Acou_Bass, That video makes it look terrible, however I have a bq Aquarius E4.5 that I flashed with Android lollipop a while back and it ran reasonably well on that | 22:28 |
Paddy_NI | I have never not been able to get Ubuntu Touch back on since | 22:28 |
popey | https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2016/05/the-ubuntu-tablet-a-review-of-the-aquaris-m10-ubuntu-edition/ | 22:28 |
Paddy_NI | :-( | 22:28 |
popey | thats another terrible, but honest review from an Ubuntu user | 22:29 |
popey | We need to take this feedback on board and fix the issues | 22:29 |
popey | and not ship devices with stuff like this | 22:29 |
Paddy_NI | popey, Exactly what I was thinking | 22:29 |
Paddy_NI | That is why I mentioned those words above | 22:29 |
Paddy_NI | Perhaps something with less negative connotations | 22:30 |
Paddy_NI | Developer Edition I think | 22:30 |
mhanne | since you are talking about aquaris devices, forgive me if i ask again: anybody know if its possible - or planned - to get ubuntu touch on an E5 4G? | 22:30 |
Paddy_NI | mhanne, It runs on the E5 so I don't see why not | 22:30 |
Paddy_NI | Unlock the bootloader if necessary | 22:31 |
mhanne | well, that's what i thought when i bought it.. but turns out the 4G version is "vegetalte" and i can only find ubuntu for "vegetahd" | 22:31 |
Paddy_NI | mhanne, Did you try flashing it? | 22:31 |
mhanne | yes, it says "Can't boot recovery image" | 22:32 |
=== salem_ is now known as _salem | ||
popey | we dont have an image for that device | 22:32 |
popey | no idea if it even has the same soc | 22:32 |
mhanne | and only if i set --device to vegetahd, otherwise it says Device is |MSM8916| | 22:32 |
popey | you might need to sort the partitioning first | 22:33 |
popey | you'd need the tool from bq and a scatter file | 22:33 |
popey | but again, no idea if the hd image would work on the lte, there may be significant internal differences | 22:33 |
Paddy_NI | Oh I see there are a few variants of the E5 | 22:34 |
mhanne | ah. that's the other thing.. the bq page doesn't accept my S/N for that... | 22:34 |
mhanne | so i guess it's just not intended to be able to install ubuntu on it :/ | 22:34 |
Acou_Bass | while we're on the subject (or not...) - can anyone link me a slimport cable they use with a nexus 4, so i can be 100% sure its not my phone thats causing convergence to not work for me? | 22:34 |
popey | sure Acou_Bass | 22:34 |
popey | https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00F44PA5M | 22:35 |
popey | i own that cheapo one | 22:35 |
popey | any slimport one should work | 22:35 |
Acou_Bass | hmm | 22:35 |
Acou_Bass | yep, i think my phones borked then | 22:35 |
popey | mhanne: we support very specific devices | 22:35 |
Acou_Bass | xD | 22:35 |
popey | bummer | 22:35 |
Paddy_NI | popey, I must pick your brain tomorrow if you are available, I ended up getting the LG G5 so I am quite keen on getting Ubuntu Touch back on my E4.5. Was unable to achieve this previously some months ago with the help from various people here possible including yourself... | 22:36 |
Paddy_NI | I will keep the faith :-) | 22:36 |
popey | http://askubuntu.com/questions/602035/how-do-i-use-ubuntu-device-flash-with-the-bq-aquaris-e4-5-and-aquaris-e5 | 22:36 |
popey | thats the "canonical" page | 22:37 |
Acou_Bass | i can *sometimes* get my monitor to pick up on it - but i have to jiggle the chord and do that thing where you holdit in such a stupid position that any attempt to put it down disconnects it | 22:37 |
popey | note the guy who replied runs the team who do porting, so knows his stuff ㋛ | 22:37 |
Paddy_NI | popey, Cool thanks :-) | 22:37 |
Acou_Bass | and not had anyone whos been willing to fix it yet, because they just plug it into a laptop and go 'look, USB works fine! whatcha talkin' bout' | 22:37 |
popey | Acou_Bass: what kind of display? | 22:38 |
Acou_Bass | well its a HDMI TV | 22:39 |
Acou_Bass | ive tried a couple of slimport cables but the one im using now is some fancy one that cost me like £20 so it better bloody not be the cable | 22:39 |
Acou_Bass | im at least 90% sure its the USB port in my phone thats loose... but connecting it to a PC for the most part works (it sometimes dc's randomly, and only works with certain cables) | 22:42 |
popey | It's pretty normal for the usb port to go on devices | 22:44 |
popey | I had to strip down a tablet to replace the usb port board recently | 22:44 |
Acou_Bass | yep, thats why i quit using my ol' faithful n900 :P yanked the cable too hard one say and out came the port | 22:45 |
popey | awww, n900... | 22:46 |
Acou_Bass | yeah, ive still got it... sometimes i boot it up and fiddle with it just for old times sake... | 22:46 |
popey | :) | 22:46 |
popey | I never had one, looked longingly at it | 22:46 |
Acou_Bass | still works fine, ive got a spare battery and an external charger | 22:46 |
popey | but couldn't bring myself to buy one | 22:46 |
popey | still covet them when i see them | 22:46 |
Acou_Bass | honestly ubuntu touch has it all covered, except the hardware kb ;D | 22:47 |
Acou_Bass | and the IR/radio transmitter i suppose if youre into that | 22:48 |
Acou_Bass | im really impressed still at how the maemo.org community just picked it up when nokia ditched it.. that phone still gets updates even now | 22:50 |
Paddy_NI | popey, I both understand and feel confused by his anger | 22:55 |
Paddy_NI | popey, Terence did know what he was buying in to right? | 22:55 |
ahoneybun | popey worked with openweathermap api? | 23:06 |
talonz | i run archlinux on my n900 it doesnt get much on time no but its still sitting here staring at me on my desk ... hard to let such a great device go | 23:09 |
Acou_Bass | yeah i ran arch on mine, though i ran it off an SD not off the main memory, the main was reserved for maemo | 23:11 |
talonz | yeah i dont have a wm any more just console its good for that | 23:12 |
Acou_Bass | hehe thats a nice idea, have a li'l SSH client ;D | 23:13 |
talonz | you can run a samba share on it i had it running with a heap of mp3's on it for my sonos setup to play music | 23:14 |
talonz | which was awesome | 23:14 |
Acou_Bass | ;D awesome too | 23:15 |
talonz | i got an aquaponics system that i want to automate a little more with some sensors and stuff i know there are some linux apps out there to do that im thinking of using my n900 for that if possible | 23:16 |
* lpotter still has n900 sitting in a box | 23:21 | |
Acou_Bass | hehe | 23:21 |
talonz | nice lpotter | 23:21 |
lpotter | had qtopia on it for a while | 23:22 |
lpotter | back when I was community manager for qtopia | 23:23 |
talonz | qtopia is qt extended right ? | 23:25 |
popey | ahoneybun: not personally. examples in the weather app code :) | 23:28 |
lpotter | ya, same thing, different marketing name | 23:28 |
ahoneybun | popey wayyyyyyyyyyyyy to ahead of me | 23:28 |
ahoneybun | I need something dead simple | 23:28 |
ahoneybun | I do have the code downloaded | 23:28 |
* ahoneybun kinda feels doomed with this project | 23:31 | |
ahoneybun | all I need is a simple call to the api to show the current weather | 23:32 |
ahoneybun | to get me started | 23:32 |
