[03:02] <cc> hi
[03:04] <cc> Does anyone have buy the Meizu Pro 5 Ubuntu at en.jd.com here?
[10:37] <DanneJo> hi i want to port ubuntu touch to Zuk Z1 i have source code for CyanogenMod i was able to compile the test example for nexus 4, but how do i port a new device
[10:37] <DanneJo> im stuck atm :( best regards Daniel
[10:38] <greyback> DanneJo: you've seen https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/phone/devices/porting-new-device/ ?
[10:39] <DanneJo> absolutly it made me found you guys at the bottom of the page :)
[10:40] <greyback> porting isn't an easy task. That guide has the essential steps you need to follow, so you need to study it carefully
[10:41] <DanneJo> unsure what i need to extrace from cyanogen into ubuntu
[10:42] <DanneJo> brb
[11:36] <cc> may i ask a question?
[11:38] <cc> how can i use "wechat" on ubuntu phone? "wechat",not"weechat"
[11:38] <cc> in china,most of us are all using wechat for chatting or working
[12:36] <pmcgowan> ogra_, should the upstart log config have nocreate in it? after logs roll there is no active log file
[12:58] <pmcgowan> oh he is holidaze
[15:36] <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?
[18:44] <ahoneybun> mm anyone have a bug about device turning off on it's own?
[18:45] <ahoneybun> not a low battery issue
[18:45] <Acou_Bass> ahoneybun: whic hdevice?
[18:45] <ahoneybun> Nexus 7
[18:51] <ahoneybun> man the camera is broken on here
[18:53] <dobey> broken how?
[18:59] <ahoneybun> the rotation is all off and does not record video
[19:00] <ahoneybun> well then
[19:03] <dobey> the camera rotation is being fixed i think
[19:04] <dobey> iirc, same issue existed on the m10
[19:06] <ahoneybun> roation: https://www.flickr.com/photos/44748317@N08/26743506972/in/dateposted-public/
[19:06] <ahoneybun> recording video failed: https://www.flickr.com/photos/44748317@N08/26232653643/in/dateposted-public/
[19:39] <ahoneybun> mm bluetoothctl says I'm paired with my BLE mouse
[21:08] <altker128> Is there a build of Firefox for Ubuntu-Touch?
[21:11] <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
[21:12] <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?
[21:13] <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
[21:14] <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 ;)
[21:23] <kaisoz> Hi
[22:17] <Paddy_NI> Yikes http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/05/bq-m10-ubuntu-tablet-review-crazy-slow
[22:21] <Acou_Bass> ;(
[22:24] <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
[22:26] <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
[22:28] <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> :-(
[22:29] <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
[22:30] <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
[22:31] <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?
[22:32] <mhanne> yes, it says "Can't boot recovery image"
[22:32] <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|
[22:33] <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
[22:34] <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
[22:35] <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
[22:36] <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
[22:37] <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'
[22:38] <popey> Acou_Bass: what kind of display?
[22:39] <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
[22:42] <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)
[22:44] <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
[22:45] <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
[22:46] <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
[22:47] <Acou_Bass> honestly ubuntu touch has it all covered, except the hardware kb ;D
[22:48] <Acou_Bass> and the IR/radio transmitter i suppose if youre into that
[22:50] <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
[22:55] <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?
[23:06] <ahoneybun> popey worked with openweathermap api?
[23:09] <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
[23:11] <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
[23:12] <talonz> yeah i dont have a wm any more just console its good for that
[23:13] <Acou_Bass> hehe thats a nice idea, have a li'l SSH client ;D
[23:14] <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
[23:15] <Acou_Bass> ;D awesome too
[23:16] <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
[23:21]  * lpotter still has n900 sitting in a box
[23:21] <Acou_Bass> hehe
[23:21] <talonz> nice lpotter
[23:22] <lpotter> had qtopia on it for a while
[23:23] <lpotter> back when I was community manager for qtopia
[23:25] <talonz> qtopia is qt extended right ?
[23:28] <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
[23:31]  * ahoneybun kinda feels doomed with this project 
[23:32] <ahoneybun> all I need is a simple call to the api to show the current weather
[23:32] <ahoneybun> to get me started
