[11:38] how can i use "wechat" on ubuntu phone? "wechat",not"weechat" [11:38] in china,most of us are all using wechat for chatting or working [12:36] ogra_, should the upstart log config have nocreate in it? after logs roll there is no active log file [12:58] oh he is holidaze === _salem is now known as salem_ === Sc is now known as Guest65617 === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk [15:36] 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? === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader === marcusto_ is now known as marcustomlinson === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk [18:44] mm anyone have a bug about device turning off on it's own?

[18:59] the rotation is all off and does not record video [19:00] well then [19:03] the camera rotation is being fixed i think [19:04] iirc, same issue existed on the m10 [19:06] roation: https://www.flickr.com/photos/44748317@N08/26743506972/in/dateposted-public/ [19:06] recording video failed: https://www.flickr.com/photos/44748317@N08/26232653643/in/dateposted-public/ === vr__ is now known as altker128 === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader [19:39] mm bluetoothctl says I'm paired with my BLE mouse === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun === bb is now known as Guest82294 [21:08] Is there a build of Firefox for Ubuntu-Touch? [21:11] i dnt think so - only the ARM one for running in libertine [21:11] no, there isn't a build designed for the phone interface. the tablet has it installed by default in the legacy apps container though [21:12] the stock browser is pretty nice anyway ;D i like it [21:12] obviously not as featured as desktop firefox but which phone browser is? [21:13] 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 [21:14] you mean, the android version? or the old-timey Fennec version? [21:14] i mean whatever. firefox is open source :) [21:14] Well, the idea if one gets Firefox with desktop capability is the ability to use plugins...like noscript ;) [21:23] Hi [22:17] Yikes http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/05/bq-m10-ubuntu-tablet-review-crazy-slow [22:21] ;( [22:24] 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 [22:26] im watching a couple videos of people using it... doesnt look any slower than it is on my nexus 4 [22:26] which is completely usable [22:28] 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] I have never not been able to get Ubuntu Touch back on since [22:28] https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2016/05/the-ubuntu-tablet-a-review-of-the-aquaris-m10-ubuntu-edition/ [22:28] :-( [22:29] thats another terrible, but honest review from an Ubuntu user [22:29] We need to take this feedback on board and fix the issues [22:29] and not ship devices with stuff like this [22:29] popey, Exactly what I was thinking [22:29] That is why I mentioned those words above [22:30] Perhaps something with less negative connotations [22:30] Developer Edition I think [22:30] 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] mhanne, It runs on the E5 so I don't see why not [22:31] Unlock the bootloader if necessary [22:31] 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] mhanne, Did you try flashing it? [22:32] yes, it says "Can't boot recovery image" === salem_ is now known as _salem [22:32] we dont have an image for that device [22:32] no idea if it even has the same soc [22:32] and only if i set --device to vegetahd, otherwise it says Device is |MSM8916| [22:33] you might need to sort the partitioning first [22:33] you'd need the tool from bq and a scatter file [22:33] but again, no idea if the hd image would work on the lte, there may be significant internal differences [22:34] Oh I see there are a few variants of the E5 [22:34] ah. that's the other thing.. the bq page doesn't accept my S/N for that... [22:34] so i guess it's just not intended to be able to install ubuntu on it :/ [22:34] 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] sure Acou_Bass [22:35] https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00F44PA5M [22:35] i own that cheapo one [22:35] any slimport one should work [22:35] hmm [22:35] yep, i think my phones borked then [22:35] mhanne: we support very specific devices [22:35] xD [22:35] bummer [22:36] 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] I will keep the faith :-) [22:36] http://askubuntu.com/questions/602035/how-do-i-use-ubuntu-device-flash-with-the-bq-aquaris-e4-5-and-aquaris-e5 [22:37] thats the "canonical" page [22:37] 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] note the guy who replied runs the team who do porting, so knows his stuff ㋛ [22:37] popey, Cool thanks :-) [22:37] 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' [22:38] Acou_Bass: what kind of display? [22:39] well its a HDMI TV [22:39] 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 [22:42] 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) [22:44] It's pretty normal for the usb port to go on devices [22:44] I had to strip down a tablet to replace the usb port board recently [22:45] yep, thats why i quit using my ol' faithful n900 :P yanked the cable too hard one say and out came the port [22:46] awww, n900... [22:46] yeah, ive still got it... sometimes i boot it up and fiddle with it just for old times sake... [22:46] :) [22:46] I never had one, looked longingly at it [22:46] still works fine, ive got a spare battery and an external charger [22:46] but couldn't bring myself to buy one [22:46] still covet them when i see them [22:47] honestly ubuntu touch has it all covered, except the hardware kb ;D [22:48] and the IR/radio transmitter i suppose if youre into that [22:50] 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 [22:55] popey, I both understand and feel confused by his anger [22:55] popey, Terence did know what he was buying in to right? [23:06] popey worked with openweathermap api? [23:09] 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 [23:11] yeah i ran arch on mine, though i ran it off an SD not off the main memory, the main was reserved for maemo [23:12] yeah i dont have a wm any more just console its good for that [23:13] hehe thats a nice idea, have a li'l SSH client ;D [23:14] 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] which was awesome [23:15] ;D awesome too [23:16] 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 [23:21] * lpotter still has n900 sitting in a box [23:21] hehe [23:21] nice lpotter [23:22] had qtopia on it for a while [23:23] back when I was community manager for qtopia [23:25] qtopia is qt extended right ? [23:28] ahoneybun: not personally. examples in the weather app code :) [23:28] ya, same thing, different marketing name [23:28] popey wayyyyyyyyyyyyy to ahead of me [23:28] I need something dead simple [23:28] I do have the code downloaded [23:31] * ahoneybun kinda feels doomed with this project [23:32] all I need is a simple call to the api to show the current weather [23:32] to get me started
