ogra_morphis, is there any chance that my turbo will support airtame or do i need to buy another dongle10:03
morphisogra_: no, airtame isn't supported as long as it doesn't support miracast10:03
morphisogra_: at best you buy the Microsoft Wireless Display dongle10:04
ogra_it dooes miracast10:04
ogra_(screen mirroring)10:04
ogra_might be it plugs something on top though10:04
morphisogra_: from what I know airtame does different thigns and not Miracast10:04
morphisthey have their own protocol10:05
ogra_i'm pretty sure they base on miracast ... but might have extended it10:05
ogra_anyway, if there is no chance it gets supported i'll get another dongle10:05

crs___morphis: what is wrong with the cheaper, non-microsoft miracast dongles?10:49
morphiscrs___: nothing, its just that nobody tested them yet with Ubuntu :-)10:49
morphiscrs___: even if they support Miracast there might be small problems10:49
crs___morphis: ok, thanks. maybe i will try a cheap one ;)10:51
morphiscrs___: do that, however several sources on the internet claim the MS one is the fastest available one10:51
crs___morphis: is there a lag noticeable when moving the mouse pointer?10:56
morphiscrs___: we are around 100-150ms now10:57
morphishowever depending on your environment10:57
morphisas this is still WiFi10:57
crs___morphis: that might be better than my cheap mhd-cable for nexus410:57
morphiscrs___: you still notice a very small lag but it is clearly usable10:57
crs___morphis: i can feel the lag with it10:57
morphiscrs___: and depends also how much you want to feel a lag :-)10:58
lauriHi again, got my Meizu11:33
laurithe new one :)11:33
lauriis there going ot be 16.04 based update available for the device?11:34
ogra_lauri, probably in 6 months or so11:35
lauriso there will be updates, right :D11:35
ogra_there are updates every 6 weeks11:35
lauriConsidering all the mess that's going on in the phone industry I must say good job guys :)11:36
lauriAnd thanks for convenient sudo access :D11:36
ogra_the underlying system is still 15.04 based and uses upstart a lot ... these bits need porting to 16.04 and systemd11:36
ogra_once that is all done and tested it will become the default11:37
DieGNUHi All! Someone knows if I can install Ubuntu Phone in my Huawei Ascend G6-L1111:49
DieGNU?11:49
ogra_DieGNU, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices i fear you would have to do a full port ...11:53
ogra_you might want to talk to the ubports guys (i.e. mariogrip) ... https://ubports.com/11:54
ogra_i know there has been some work to build some generic tool that makes porting easier11:54

mardy_Mirv: hi! Will you land this yourself, or should we put it into one of our siloes? https://code.launchpad.net/~timo-jyrinki/ubuntu-system-settings-online-accounts/stop_depending_on_transitional_packages/+merge/29505113:59
Mirvmardy_: from comment in the bug "Since this does not require much brain power, I can provide branches. Just take care of adding them to your landings.", but thanks I added another note at the top of the description14:01
Mirvmardy_: I wouldn't want to tip-toe on other people's landings so just include it in your next one14:01
mardy_Mirv: excellent, thanks14:14
=== mcphail_ is now known as mcphail
dobeymardy_: ci train blew up with the triple landing stuff, so trying to get that dealt with, and then i can poke again, but i really think we need to get the UX issues there resolved first, so that the plug-in can provide the UI for the re-authentication bits14:30
mardy_dobey: OK; but the latter part, let's keep it for later (if even it's needed), or we'll never land it (it's a big change for OA)14:32
mardy_dobey: since the U1 plugin is basically the only user for this dialog, we can directly design it as you like in OA anyway14:33
dobeymardy_: as i discussed with mpt last week, i think it's needed to have the log-in and re-authentication UI be pretty much the same. there's no reason that U1 should be different here.14:34
mardy_dobey: that's not an issue, we can make them look nearly identical14:34
dobeymardy_: it is an issue. i don't think we should be making generic UI look specific to U114:36
dobeyand U1 shouldn't be using generic UI14:36
dobeythis is something the account plug-ins should provide the UI for14:36
mardy_dobey: I don't see a lot of things specific to it, it's just username + password + 2fa14:38
dobeymardy_: then why do all the OAuth based accounts not just pop up a generic username/password dialog?14:39
dobeyinstead of the web sites14:39
davmor2dobey: because it annoys you and we all like to annoy you?14:41
mardy_dobey: what OA offers now, is two kind of UIs: one is a webview (used by OA), the other is a configurable password dialog14:41
mardy_dobey: imagine, back in Nokia times this dialog was even handling captcha requests14:42
mardy_dobey: now we don't have any account requiring that, but in theory it should work14:42
dobeywell we aren't nokia14:42
mardy_dobey: just to say, that this thing has been planned to be flexible since day 114:42
dobeyexcept it doesn't allow the account plug-ins to provide their own UI14:43
mardy_dobey: true, and until I hit my head on a wall while trying to implement the desired UI, it won't have it14:44
mardy_dobey: that said, I *could* hit a wall, but why give up before trying?14:45
dobeyit's not about giving up14:45
dobeyit's about not spreading the UI for an account over N projects14:45
mardy_dobey: that's a point. But a little one, given that this UI won't change often, and it's rather simple14:51
dobeyhow often you expect something to change is not a good enough reason to not do something the right way14:53
mardy_dobey: the other point is, that we need to have this kind of UI in OA anyways (owncloud will use it, as well as the generic email accounts for Dekko)14:57
dobeywell i'm not talking about generic user/pass accounts. i'm talking about a branded core faeture of our platform14:59
mardy_dobey: maybe, maybe. Just please don't block on this, let's leave it for discussion after we land the thing, or we'll never do it15:02
dobeymardy_: if we don't block, it'll certainly never get done15:02
mardy_dobey: it doesn't have to, it's a minor thing, and it's not even in your project15:04
dobeymardy_: part of it would be in u1-credentials, as i would surely expect we need to change the QML a bit to handle things a little differently fron a new login15:05
alecudobey: is u1creds prompting for a captcha when the server has that enabled?15:12
dobeyalecu: no, v2 API doesn't use captchas15:12
alecudobey: I recall the server can enable that when there's a spike in account creations15:13
dobeyalecu: good luck trying to create new accounts fast enough via the online-accounts UI to force that to happen, if so15:14
alecudobey: this is about bots and the web APi15:15
dobeyalecu: i am pretty certain there is no captcha ever in the sso v2 REST API we use15:17
dobeyone of the major points of the v2 API was so we could avoid having to deal with captchas in the client15:18
dobeyanyway, i need to get lunch15:18
mptmardy_, how does your generic UI handle password reset?15:22
mpt(sorry, I was in a meeting)15:22
JeenaHi, so someone broke in into my flat and stole my computer, my cammera and my Jolla phone. I don't want a new Jolla because it is not as open as I thought, now I want to have a Ubuntu Touch phone. But I want a reosonable small one, like the Jolla, like 3.5" or 4". Is there something like that to buy out there?15:28
popeySorry to hear of your theft.15:29
Jeenathanks15:29
lotuspsychjeJeena: BQ 4.5 is nice15:31
Jeena £129 I kind of fear that the CPU will be really slow for such a pricj15:34
lotuspsychjeJeena: that bq is pretty neat to work with actually15:35
Jeenaok cool I'll check out some reviews on youtube for it15:36
mcphailJeena: I've run both Ubuntu and Android on that phone. The processor is fast enough for android to run very well. Ubuntu is a little sluggish, but hopefully some of the current optimisation work will improve that15:37
JeenaI like the sice at least, the Jolla size was so much nicer than the big Nexus 6 I had before that15:38
mcphailJeena: the ubuntu UI needs enough screen space for gestures, but not too much to force you to use it 2 handed. I like the size of the bq4.515:39

brunch875...¡¡¡¿¿¿external display???!!!16:02
popeyi will do another demo with it using a proper keyboard/mouse etc16:02
popeythat was just a test to see if it worked16:02
brunch875Can the e4.5 do this sort of stuff?16:02
* brunch875 is in awe16:02
popeywas somewhat surprise (as you can tell) that it worked16:02
morphisbrunch875: technically yes, but not implemented yet16:06
brunch875I see a little "External display" grayed out16:06
morphisbrunch875: on your e 4.5?16:07
brunch875yea16:07
brunch875I'm on rc-proposed, though!16:07

morphiss/if/we have explicitly disabled that feature for any other device than the pro 5/16:08
mcphailpopey: you got _another_ new device??!16:10

mcphailLooks cool. Well done screencasting chaps and chapesses16:12

davmor2popey: why were you surprised I tested it, of course it worked :P16:13

peat-psuwitIs there anything like BetterBatterStat on Ubuntu touch?20:20
dobeypeat-psuwit: no idea what that is, but i don't think there's any way on an ubuntu phone for a confined app to get battery stats20:28
peat-psuwitdobey: Don't need to be app. I'm just finding what wakelock is keeping system from going to deep sleep.20:30
dobeypeat-psuwit: cf "no idea what that is"20:31
skaydobey: would var/crash for a chroot be in ~/.cache/libertine-container/<name>/rootfs/var/crash? because there is no crash there.20:46
dobeyskay: yes. hmm, maybe there isn't any apport happening for legacy apps then20:48
dobeyskay: do you have the stable-phone-overlay PPA enabled in the container, with everything updated?20:48
skaydobey: how do I verify that?20:50
dobeyskay: do you have xterm or something in the container?20:51
skaydobey: no, but should I be able to see apt sources in /path/to/rootfs/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ? because that's empty20:51
dobeyskay: yeah, you should have one for the PPA if it's enabled20:52
skaydobey: how would you normally add a ppa to a container?20:52
dobeyskay: i'm not entirely sure how to use the libertine tools to do it20:52
skaydobey: me either. how bad would it be to add a list file by hand?20:53
skayI'd really like keepassx. typing my long garbage passwords by hand gets very old fast20:53
dobeyskay: well the problem is you still need to apt-get update and apt-get upgrade after adding the PPA20:53
skaydobey: but that is not so bad, there is a command to do that from the libertine manage command20:54
skaydobey: but they don't have a command to add a ppa afaik20:54
dobeybregma: ^^ do you know how one can add the stable-phone-overlay PPA to a container with libertine, and then apt-get update/upgrade?20:54
dobeyskay: oh?20:54
skaydobey: libertine-container-manage has update, which I assume does an apt-get update.20:55
dobeyi have no idea20:55
skaydobey: oh foo, I thought I saw an upgrade command too20:55
skaydobey: forget what I said, my memory is fried. I will play around more later. I can maybe look at the libertine-container-manager code to see what it is doing20:56
skaydobey: I see there is a libertine-lxc-manager, but when I try to call it it hangs. is that a known issue? am I using it wrong?20:57
skaydobey: I am more familiar with lxc than with chroots20:57
dobeyi don't know. i don't have an m10, and running X apps on my phone would be too painful to bother with, so i haven't tried20:57
skaydobey: oh indeed! I would hate that20:58
skayI have an old nexus 5 that is pretty big compared to other phones. I am curious why no one has ported it for that phone20:58
skayand I have an old nexus 7 tablet, but it is the earlier generation than the generation that works20:59
dobeywhat do you mean not ported to nexus 5?20:59
dobeynexus 5 is not big compared to the retail ubuntu phones. but i'll agree it is too big. though with no internal keyboard or mouse, and no working bluetooth, using legacy apps would be painful21:00
dobeybut i've been using ubuntu only on my nexus 5 for over two years, so ubuntu has certainly been ported to it, albeit the device isn't an officially supported development device. the current images on ubports.com work quite well though21:02
skaydobey: oh! when I looked a while back (on hte wiki maybe) I didn't see it as suported21:03
dobeyskay: if it currently has stock android 4.4 then flashing is a breeze21:04
skaydobey: not sure what it has at the moment. I've put cyanogenmod on some of my phones21:05
skaydobey: it may still be stock21:05
skaydobey: I think I'll try out flashing it later21:06
skaydobey: thanks for the tip21:06
skaydobey: do you know if the developers have enough phones to work with?21:06
