mcphailaltker128: there are concerns ext4 would confuse Windows users. And noone has decided a security model for the sdcard yet, to integrate with app confinement. I don't share the objections06:30
altker128mcphail: Which phone do you run Ubuntu Touch on?07:00
mcphailaltker128: bq 4.5, although it is temporarily running android07:01

zubHi. I tried to build a mir hello-world app with ubuntu sdk chroot. On my phone I have rc-proposed. The chroot I used was ubuntu-sdk-15.04. But in the chroot there's libmirclient.so.8 while on the phone I have libmirclient.so.9. What is the correct chroot to use with rc-proposed?19:31
DPAHi. I have a Problem with my Meizu Pro 5 ubuntu edition. I added the line "/dev/mmcblk0p1  /mnt/sdcard/    ext4    defaults,auto,nofail,noatime,nodiratime,commit=60 0 0" to the file /lib/init/fstab, and now, it doesn't boot anymore. It shows only the meizu splash screen. How can I fix that?20:17
founderioDPA: you probably need to boot some kind of recovery image (not sure which one is on that device) that allows you to access that file & remove the line. Then check the logs why this happened20:36
DPAIf I connect the device using USB to my PC, I see it as an MTP device but can't connect to it, and dmesg detects it as an ubuntu phone. If I press Volume UP and Power, i see a big Ubuntu logo, and nothing else hapens. If I press Volume Down and Power, it shows "PSN: 86132B05DA77 => Fastboot mode" in the bottom half of the screen, and dmesg shows that it was detected as an android device. "abd devices"20:52
DPAand "abd usb" won't find the device any case.20:52
founderiohmm.. I'll have to defer to the ubuntu cracks on here..20:56
founderioBut if you're willing to try, you could flash a different recovery image like TWRP_3.0_m86. Not sure on the implications for the rest of your phone though -> I use it with the android version of the meizu pro 520:56
founderioprobably ogra _ or some of the other folks can help you with that20:57
founderioAs he put it, the differences between the regular & ubuntu version of that phone *could* leave you without an IMEI if you try such things. I have not had such problems, but just a word of caution here20:58
DPAfounderio: As I said, adb doesn't show the device, and isn't that required in order tho flash the device?21:00
founderionope. flashing happens via fastboot21:00
founderioadb is then enabled by the recovery image when it booted21:01
DPAfounderio: Many thanks, is there a tutorial or something on how to flash that recovery image on this phone? Or even better, is there a way to read and write to specific parts of the internal memory of the device using fastboot? In this case, i could just flash an empty line to the memory address of the line I added to the file in order to override my change.21:08
altker128DPA: This thread might be helpful : http://askubuntu.com/questions/767323/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-meizu-pro-5-that-was-originally-with-android21:41
sebThreeM10whitehi21:41
altker128DPA: And also http://askubuntu.com/questions/775502/meizu-pro-5-ubuntu-phone-how-reinstall-the-device21:42
sebThreeM10whiteoh someone has a pro 5?21:47
DPAfounderio: I looked at the commands available with fastboot, and since I didn't find a way to read from the internal flash memory, i just flashed the recovery image you mentioned. It worked and I was able to comment out the line I added to that file. Everithing works again, thank you very much.21:48
altker128DPA: Can you share your experiences with Touch on the M5?  Like responsiveness and speed, etc?21:58
founderioDPA: sorry, was AFK. glad it worked!22:08
DPAaltker128: I wrote about all my experiences from when I bought it to now here: https://www.mikrocontroller.net/topic/396096#4594341 (it's in german, I know, i can translate it for you if you wish.)22:09
founderioaltker128: Just my 2 cents here: I use touch on the android version of the pro 5. Flashing was a bit of a challenge, but went easier than expected. Responsiveness is great, speed also not that bad. The camera is a bit slow & app startup time could be better. but once the apps are loaded -> nothing to complain, speed wise22:10
founderio* camera app to be specific22:11
DPAfounderio: On my phone, apps which are using webkit are lagging a little bit when I scroll. The webbrowser and webapps to be specific.22:14
founderiohm, I didn't notice that before.. maybe a bit, but nothing I can't bear. It's mostly the startup time which I notice (and occasional crashes & derps of course)22:18
founderiooverall the pro 5 is a nice piece of hardware. just takes some time getting used to the screen size XD22:19
crs___i am missing a call-recorder-app. am i right, that it is impossible to create such an app in ut? (recorder has to be in background but will be suspended at that moment)22:29
altker128DPA: I think an English translation would be great22:46
altker128founderio: When you say app start-up time, do you mean every app or just Webkit apps?22:46
founderioScopes (known?), Camera, Phone (legacy apps?)22:47
altker128Is scopes webapp or compiled Qt?22:49
founderiono idea22:51
founderiostartup there is also not that big of a deal. usually only on reboot ;)22:51
founderiotbut the camera app really needs to be fast22:51
DPAaltker128: Ok. But a translation will take me about a week, because I am very busy lately. How shall I notify you where it is when I am done?22:55
altker128DPA: I'll hang out in here, would you just /msg me ?22:56
DPAaltker128: Ok. I have to leave now, It's already one o'clock in switzerland.22:58
altker128DPA: OK, thanks !22:58
