mbufSmurphy, Cool. Is there an alternative to "Google Authenticator" in the Ubuntu repository that I can use on the Ubuntu phone?06:42
popeymbuf: yes06:47
popeyhttps://uappexplorer.com/app/com.ubuntu.developer.mzanetti.ubuntu-authenticator06:47
mbufpopey, nice, thanks!06:49
zzarrhello!06:52
zzarrwill I be able to use miracast or any other Wi-Fi display technology on my MX4?06:57
popeynot yet i don't think06:58
mbuffor the second question on the choice of Ubuntu phone device?06:58
zzarrohh... I meant when OTA 11 is released06:58
popeyI just ordered a Meizu pro 5, looking forward to getting that06:58
popeyOTA11 froze this week, so within a few weeks06:59
mbufis it actually possible to completely re-build the Ubuntu image from sources? or are there any binary firmware?06:59
popeyonce testing is done06:59
popeythere's blobs06:59
mbufpopey, I see06:59
popeybut that's all android driver stuff06:59
popeynot our bits06:59
mbufpopey, okay06:59
zzarris OTA 11 based on 16.04?06:59
popeyno, OTA-11 is still 15.04 + Overlay PPA07:00
popeyTesting still ongoing for 16.0407:00
zzarrokey07:02
zzarrwill I be able to run X11 apps?07:03
mbufpopey, is there a lower-priced model compared to the Meizu pro 5?07:05
andoruhi, I want to try finding out why I get no sound output over HDMI from Nexus 707:05
popeymbuf: the bq e4.5 / e5 are lower spec07:06
popeybut they're quite a bit lower spec ㋛07:06
zzarrmbuf, I think the Meizu Pro 5 is the lower-priced highend phone07:07
mbufpopey, zzarr okay07:07
popeyit's a very nice phone07:07
popeyI had a play with one recently for the first time07:07
popeyreally feels high end in the hand07:07
mbufpopey, okay07:08
mcphailDon't dismiss the capabilities of the bq phones. When a few of the wrinkles in the OS are ironed out, they will run nicely. They do feel cheap, though07:09
zzarrpopey, does it have USB C/USB 3.1?07:10
popeyzzarr: it may have some of the USB C spec, but not all07:11
popeyI don't have one yet07:11
zzarrpopey, okey, what parts is it missing?07:12
popeydunno, i don't have one07:12
zzarrpopey, I guess that it don't have the DP part07:13

lotuspsychje!releasenotes08:53
ubot5Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes08:53
danimanIs there any hope that i can run Viber on my ubuntu phone???09:02
lotuspsychjedaniman: ive seen viber released for linux for sure, but not yet on ubuntu-touch yet i think09:03
lotuspsychjedaniman: use telegram for now as alternative09:03
danimanlotuspsychje: telegram will be an option but how about an andriod emulator, i am sure ubuntu-touch has imported some andriod features09:10
brunch875I wonder if there's a way to make the music app delete tracks from the queue as they're played09:10
brunch875kind of how rythmbox behaves09:11
lotuspsychjebrunch875: add a new bug for your idea09:14
lotuspsychjebrunch875: check the existing bug list in our topic first also09:14
lotuspsychjedaniman: you cant run android apps on ubuntu-touch09:15
lotuspsychjedaniman: but its possible to create a touch app yourself09:15
lotuspsychjedaniman: or request one to the viber maintainer09:15
lotuspsychjethe more people ask, the more change something gets ported09:16
danimanhmm09:18
brunch875lotuspsychje: Is there a place to discuss this before filing a bug? Maybe people prefer having the queue as it is right now... :s09:27
lotuspsychjebrunch875: a bug for a new idea is the proper way mate09:28
lotuspsychjebrunch875: discussing it here is bit hard due to timezones09:28
brunch875Ah, I see :). So if I oppose to a suggestion I should make a comment in the filed bug, then?09:29
lotuspsychjebrunch875: just use the main bug window for your idea09:30
lotuspsychjeubuntu-bug yourpackage09:30
lotuspsychjethen, musicplayer cant do this...because of....09:30
lotuspsychjebrunch875: you can change the bug itself to a real bug or idea09:32
brunch875That's pretty handy! Thanks for the information.09:32

john-mcaleelyseems unlikely12:55
mhinnesjohn-mcaleely: Think I read somewhere OTA11 will enable miracast or something like that12:57
john-mcaleelyyes. I think it will be for one device only to start with12:58
john-mcaleelyI don't believe chromecast == the same as miracast12:58
mhinnesyes miracast is intel i think12:58
john-mcaleelymiracast is a standard implemented by a number of dongles and tvs12:59
john-mcaleelychromecast, is, well, chrome12:59
mhinnesyes12:59
mhinnesso until chrome is not supported chromecast won't be?13:01

jonathan_ubuntuHello, is there a new bq phone planned with ubuntu ?16:14
jonathan_ubuntuy a des gens ici ?16:19
seb128jonathan_ubuntu, oui16:19
seb128but it's an english speaking channel16:19
jonathan_ubuntumy previous message was in english.16:20
seb128right, need to show patience on IRC16:20
seb128everybody is not spending their days staring to their IRC client waiting for questions to come16:20
seb128:-)16:20
jonathan_ubuntua bad english perhaps ;)16:20
seb128no, just nobody around to reply16:20
seb128also it's probably not the channel to get press announces about new devices16:21
seb128so it's likely that nobody has an answer to your question here16:21
jonathan_ubuntuthey should disconnect if so16:22
seb128that's not how IRC works16:22
seb128usually people get busy, head down in code or going for lunch, they eventually read the backlog/reply later on16:23
seb128but it might also be that your question doesn't have a known answer16:23
jonathan_ubuntui try to collect info about ubuntu on phone but there s not a lot16:23
jonathan_ubuntumerci d'avoir répondu ;)16:24
seb128jonathan_ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/devices16:24
seb128jonathan_ubuntu, https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/ is also active/having useful content16:24
seb128jonathan_ubuntu, de rien!16:24
seb128pmcgowan, http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/devices ...the e4.5 links to a 404 page is that known?16:25
seb128that might be locale dependent16:25
seb128it sends me to https://store.bq.com/gl/smartphones/ubuntu-edition-e-4-5-fr/16:26
pmcgowanseb128, let me look16:26
pmcgowanseb128, ah they no longer sell it, we should update the page16:26
seb128right16:26
pmcgowanI can remove the link16:27
pmcgowanoh not there16:27
seb128or change the button like for the mx416:27
seb128which has "sold out"16:27
seb128not clickable16:27

wpgriggshey guys, I just installed ubuntu onto a surface pro 3, the touch cover trackpad is working but the keyboard isnt19:23
wpgriggsany ideas?19:24
troyreadywpgriggs: weird; I'd expect the opposite problem19:31
troyreadyI haven't used Ubuntu Desktop on my SP3 since 15.04 but I seem to recall the keyboard working ootb. I'd think that'd be better now with 16.0419:32
wpgriggstroyready: Im using 14.04LTS, should I upgrade>19:33
troyreadyAh. yeah. It's one of those things where you're going to be chasing the latest kernel for some time to come. I'm pretty sure there are still kernel patches that you'd want that aren't merged into mainline yet19:34
troyreadyBest place to research and ask questions is probably https://www.reddit.com/r/surfacelinux19:35
