Mikaelateve: Have you tried https://messenger.com/ ?08:52
MikaelaI have understood that it might also want to install Messenger app, but I understood that is only with "supported platforms" and I imagine Ubuntu Touch doesn't belong to those yet.08:53
teveseems that https://messenger.com/ wont work with mobile UA, it suggest to go google play store.08:55

Acou_Bassteve: i manage to use the facebook mobile app to read messages just fine, just click the little X in the top rigth corner to get rid of the banner10:21
Acou_Bassplus there is a messenger app in the store BUT it is basically the desktop site and so has absolutely crap mobile UI10:22

ChrisTownsendnhaines: Hi!  Could you give me a brief synopsis of what you are experiencing wrt Libertine?10:36
* ogra_ guesses he expects that a container survives a reboot :) 10:37
ogra_seems his containers are completely wiped from disk after rebooting the tablet10:38
nhainesogra_: indeed!10:40
ChrisTownsendogra_: That should not happen at all.  They are stored in ~/.cache/libertine-container/10:40
nhainesI agree.  :)10:40
ogra_i know :)10:40
ChrisTownsendnhaines: So, the container is all created and you verify this by looking in ~/.cache/libertine-container/$container_id/rootfs and it is valid?10:41
ChrisTownsendnhaines: Then you reboot your N7 and after it restarts, it's gone?10:41
nhainesChrisTownsend: yes, although *lately* I've been verifying it by running Firefox, say.10:41
nhainesThat is a precise description of what I'm seeing.10:41
ChrisTownsendnhaines: Are you naming the container 'puritine' and do you have the libertine-demo package installed?10:42
nhainesI am naming the container 'puritine' and since I am running ubuntu-pd, yess, it seems I do have libertine-demo installed.  1.0.4+15.04.20160519-0ubuntu110:44
nhainesAlthough it looks like r208 is calling my name now.  :)10:45
ChrisTownsendnhaines: Ah, I know what the issue is.  There is a puritine-click Upstart job that looks to see if the real Puritine click package is installed.  If it is not, it will check if the paths for the 'puritine' container id are there and if so, it will remove it.10:45
nhainesIt would be understating it to say that I found this behavior ideal.  :)10:46
nhainesOr overstating it, I suppose.10:46
ChrisTownsendnhaines: I would suggest you name the container something else and install the Libertine Scope from the Store to launch X apps.10:46
nhainesAlthough it's good to know I'm not *completely* crazy.10:46
ChrisTownsendnhaines: Heh, well, I never thought of the use case where someone basically set up everything like Puritine, but didn't actually install the real Puritine click.10:47
nhainesChrisTownsend: then I have some icons in my app scope that do nothing.10:47
ChrisTownsendnhaines: You can uninstall the libertine-demo package as well.10:48
nhainesThen I made my tablet read/write and broke system updates.10:48
nhainesWhat's the target for ubuntu and ubuntu-pd merging?  OTA-13?10:48
ChrisTownsendnhaines: Ugh, I see.  ubuntu and ubuntu-pd will be merging soon meaning in the OTA-12 timeframe.  I have an active silo for doing just that and need to coordinate w/ some others, but it's currently in the works as we sepak.10:49
nhainesChrisTownsend: that is at least some comfort.  :)10:50
nhainesI'd rather just have the puritine click package around to install, because it took about a week to figure out how to manually recreate it.10:51
nhainesThen I turned my tablet off to charge it so it'd have a full battery for my presentation, and couldn't demonstrate legacy apps.10:52
ChrisTownsendnhaines: *I* really have no issue making it available, but the only place I have it is in a private area.  Let me make sure I could make it available publicly and if I can, where to host it.10:53
ChrisTownsendnhaines: I'm really sorry about this.  A use case I didn't think of:-(10:53
nhainesChrisTownsend: it's okay.  As it turns out, I thought an update had broken something, and in any case, I'd just grabbed a SlimPort adapter from Amazon Prime, so everyone seeing the tablet for the first time in two months was astonished at the instant transition from touch to traditional mode and were amazed.10:54
nhainesWhich is fine for the presentation, but I've probably wasted two weeks of my own time trying to refine how to build a puritine container that matched what the system expected.  :)10:55
nhainesThanks for the answer, thanks for the timeframe for the merge, and thanks for looking into making the puritine click available!10:56
ChrisTownsendnhaines: Well, I'll see what I can do for you.  I hate you wasted so much of your own time, but on the bright side, you certainly understand libertine/puritine quite well now:)10:56
nhainesWell that's for sure!  :)10:57
nhainesI have half a mind to write user documentation.  Just half, though.  :)10:58
nhainesWhy is there an upstart job to remove the container if the click package isn't installed, btw?10:58
ChrisTownsendnhaines: The whole puritine click thingy is quite hacky, so the reason for the Upstart job is to create links in the places libertine expects the rootfs to be since the real rootfs is in the place where clicks are installed, ie, /opt/blah.  And then if the Puritine click is uninstalled, we want those links to be removed since we don't want libertine stuff to see a broken rootfs.11:00
nhainesOh, that makes sense.11:01
nhainesI guess the solution would be to test for links.  :)11:01
ChrisTownsendnhaines: I should have made the job look to see it was a link before removing it instead of just seeing if it's there at all.11:02
ChrisTownsendnhaines: Exactly!11:02
ChrisTownsendnhaines: But that job is going away any ways, so the point is moot now.11:02
nhainesChrisTownsend: well, you were probably more focused on making puritine/libertine less hacky, which is the better long-term solution.  :)11:02
ChrisTownsendnhaines: Indeed!11:02
ChrisTownsendnhaines: I guess another workaround is to create a 'dummy' com.ubuntu.puritine click package that does nothing, but is there to trick the Upstart job.  And then create the puritine stuff like you have been doing.11:04
nhainesThat's something I could probably manage.11:06
nhainesIt doesn't help that this coincided with the month my ISP decided to implement bandwidth quotas and throttling, so that each new initialization took like 2 hours each.11:06
ChrisTownsendnhaines: Oh gawd....11:06
nhainesSo I can't pretend I didn't lose a couple days of billable hours, but at least knowing what was going on makes me much less grumpy about it.11:07
* ChrisTownsend Feels even more guilty11:07
nhaines(Yeah, it was a week or two before I figured out what was going on with the ISP, since it rained the day it started and that sometimes causes problems for a day or two.)11:07
ChrisTownsendnhaines: I have a dummy package as well.  I would just need figure out how to get it to you.11:08
nhainesChrisTownsend: if email (my nick @ubuntu.com) doesn't work, I can poke my OwnCloud setup.11:09
ChrisTownsendnhaines: Ok, give me a bit.  And I'll try to email it to you.  It's small.11:09
nhainesThanks!  In that case, no rush, because I'm up too late once again.11:09
* nhaines feels accomplished.11:10
nhainesNow I just have to make a lot of noise about the Day scope not being available and I'll practically have all my Ubuntu Touch complaints solved.  :)11:10
ChrisTownsendnhaines: Can't help you with that last one:)11:12
nhainesChrisTownsend: I'll probably just harrass mhall119 to send it to me as a stopgap.  :)11:14
ChrisTownsend:)11:14
nhainesChrisTownsend: any ETA as to the ubuntu-pd merge showing up in rc-proposed?  I only mean on the scale of "next week" versus "more like 3 weeks".11:15
nhainesI guess I should probably look at the freeze dates.11:15
ChrisTownsendnhaines: ASAP really.  It's a matter of getting the current libertine silo to pass automated tests (some issue that is not libertine related), then pass the QA muster, and finally coordinate the release to deprecate the ubuntu-pocket-desktop metapackage.11:17
ChrisTownsendnhaines: And maybe some other step that I'm not aware of;-)11:17
nhainesHmm, well, that doesn't sound too hard.  ;)11:18
ChrisTownsendnhaines: Heh, we'll see.11:19
nhainesChrisTownsend: well, I really appreciate you taking a moment to help figure out what was going on.11:19
nhainesI guess the main cause of my troubles was that I don't want to be in here asking stupid questions while you're all trying to work, and documentation for self-training is very, very rare.11:20
nhainesSo I just need to ask for help a little more often.11:20
ChrisTownsendnhaines: Sure, you're very welcome.  I sent the dummy package already, so hopefully you have received it.11:20
nhainesChrisTownsend: there it is!  Thanks!  If I can make some time to work on user documentation, this will really simplify things.11:21
nhainesAs usual, just in time for the system to change so I have to rewrite stuff.  But such is life.  ;)11:21
nhainesAnd hey, at least it's not all changing as fast as snapd.  ;)11:22
ChrisTownsendnhaines: Ok, great!  lol, that is so true!11:22
Acou_Bassnhaines: i had that issue with puritine container being wiped on reboot too - i assumed it was because it was a manual install too hmm11:23
Acou_Bassthis was on n4 though not 711:23
nhainesAcou_Bass: I'm American, so I just naturally assumed it was something someone else had done wrong.  ;)11:23
Acou_Basshehe11:23
Acou_Bassi just assumed it was expected behaviour for what is essentially an unsupported testbed software11:24
nhainesI assumed it was a bug, but the kind of thing one deals with when testing unreleased software.11:25
popeybugs? us!?11:26
popeynowai.jpg11:26
* Acou_Bass looks at popey suspiciously11:26
Acou_Bassto be fair, i havent found that many bugs in using utouch as my daily, and those i have found were alreaday reported and marked as being worked on11:26
nhainesIt does all seem to work deceptively well.  :)11:29
Acou_Bassyeah it all works fairly well, just a few small niggles that arent really 'bugs' but are annoying, like my confusion as to how webapps can do notifications just fine but native apps seem to struggle XD11:42
Acou_Bassthat being said, the telegram app is pretty well-intergrated, its just a shame i dont actually use telegram :D11:43

ogra_Monosoftman, was that a rhetorical question ?14:01
ogra_(asking if an os is good in the main IRC channel of that os ... :) )14:01
dobeymardy: but you can't actually add any accounts, because there's no mir to open a trusted session on top of the system-settings app with14:01
Monosoftman@ogra not at all. im a total newb. And hey for all that i know it could be unstable as **** :P14:02
ogra_well, there are devices on sale with it ...14:03
MonosoftmanYea im thinking about getting some. but im currently getting an internship pay, so i dont have alot of cash to throw around.14:04
mardydobey: mir is not required, but let me double check, I haven't been trying that in weeks14:05
ogra_Monosoftman, i didnt mean you should buy one ... that was just referring to your stability concerns ... "good enought to be sold" is the current stability level14:06

mardyjdstrand: do you know? ^14:23
dobeymardy: well, that aside, how can i run the online-accounts-ui with an env var set to get extra debug info from my plug-in?14:29
dobeyseems like running online-accounts-service with it doesn't quite do the job14:30
dobeyalthough, maybe it is working, and with the new plug-in stuff just isn't getting logged as much14:33
dobeythough i guess not14:34
mardydobey: it does log, I just used to add U1_DEBUG=1 when working on U1, and that was doing the trick14:36
dobeyweird14:36
dobeydoesn't seem to be doing so here14:36
mardydobey: that's to be added to the online-accounts-service line I gave you above14:36
dobeymardy: where do the logs from the signon plug-in end up?15:02
mardydobey: syslog, if you have run echo "LoggingLevel=2" > ~/.config/signond.conf15:31
oftc_ftwhi! how can i remove the usb authorization for usb debugging? i only get an "unauthorized" device from "adb devices" but i'm sure i clicked "allow" when the message popped up on my phone. so now i'd like to try again but it seems there is no way to revoke the authorization.15:40
oftc_ftwor is there anything else i could do? already tried the adb kill-server, start-server part15:41
jdstrandmardy: all that should be needed for that (assuming I understand what is going on correctly) is libapparmor, which should be installed by default. running in a VM would not be a problem. running in a container is probably the problem15:41
jdstrandif the app in the container is talking to dbus outside of the container, dbus asking for the security label of the process in the container could get that error I would think15:42
jdstrandif this is just an idle question, hopefully that helps, if you need this to work, probably should ping ty hicks next week (he is on holiday now). if this is something that must happen today, we can maybe have jj ohansen take a look15:43

taiebotHey people. Was wondering if the time was right to re-do an ubuntu-edge campain in partnership with either BQ or Meizu. Software and hardware are coming nicely together now but i feel it's the user base who needs to grow now. Having a crowdfunding campaign as successful as the last one (even if i did not get my phone) would be quite good for the project. I have seen that meizu was doing an indiegogo campaign for a speaker why not for a co20:28
