anaranbitanarchy: I did not find any. Meizu Pro 5 UE is sold out. Also Firefox won't be available on a phone for the foreseeable future, which is a stopper for me.11:33
bitanarchyyou can put ubuntu touch on a nexus 5...11:54
bitanarchyanaran: meizu pro 5 probably needs to be shipped from china... but how can it be sold out??11:56
anaranbitanarchy: website says so: http://www.joybuy.com/1104324.html. Also, they only offered a gold model before, probably some left over stock nobody wanted :-)12:03

Guest63944Hi, did anyone try 'piracast' with an meizu 5 pro ?13:05
popeywhat's piracast?13:06
Guest63944its a miracast receiver for the raspberry pi13:06
popeyneat. not tried it. might give it a go though13:07
Guest63944the bad thing is, that you need a special tp-link wifi-dongle that supports it :(13:08
Guest63944i dont have a wifi dongle yet, thats why i am asking13:09
popeyoh, that's annoying13:09
Guest63944okok, so i will have to try that myself ;)13:10
Guest63944i have another question: is there a non-terminal way to remove apps comletely?13:12
=== dobey_ is now known as dobey
Guest63944there are several files left after i 'removed' chatter from my phone, for example13:13
popeyGuest63944: sudo click unregister foo.click 1.013:14
Guest63944popey: so, there is no way achieving this in the gui?13:15
popeysure, long press on the app and choose uninstall13:16
popeyyou asked for terminal though so that's what I gave you :)13:16
Guest63944yes, and this uninstallation will leave several files on the phone. in .local/share/.. for example13:17
Guest63944hehe, i was asking for a non-terminal way :P13:18
popeyoh, sorry, my bad13:19
popeyyeah, we have an open  bug for the files in your home directory, sorry about that13:19
Guest63944the problem i had was the following: chatter refused to work for me. i decided to reinstall it. reinstallation didnt solve the problem. So i uninstslled the app and additionally deleted the folder in local/share. -> problem solved, chatter works again13:21
Guest63944popey: ok, thanks :)13:22

ahoneybunoh18:04
dobeymariogrip: yeah. i don't have any miracast devices, so i can't test it.18:05
mariogripdobey: ah ok :)18:05
JanCI think the only way to review scopes is by searching for them in the store, right?18:22
