altker128Hey guys, I had a chance to play with Ubuntu phone on an N4 (OTA-11) and really LOVED what I saw.03:40
altker128Some quick questions:  Is it possible to:  Have Unity load an app on start-up, lock the app from being killed?  I want the phone/contacts/calendar to always be running and loaded (the first load takes like 10 seconds)03:41

zzarrhello!12:31
zzarrI get "could not open MTP-device" when connecting my phone (translated from Swedish)12:32
zzarrI have a Meizu MX412:32
zzarris there a nice command line that will solve the problem?12:36
zzarrI just rebooted the phone, but it didn't help12:36
ogra_well, the MX4 has in general pretty bad USB hardware, could be a HW issue12:36
ogra_(underpowered, which makes the signal die ... try a shorter cable or a USB 1.1 port/hub  ... )12:37
zzarrokey, but it have worked before12:37
zzarrdo I understand you correctly, should I power down the phone?12:38
ogra_no12:38
ogra_the USB port of the phone is underpowerd due to bad internal wiring12:39
zzarrtypical... I just did12:39
zzarrohh12:39
ogra_a reboot wont solve that :)12:39
zzarrsure?12:39
ogra_if you indeed always used the same cable and it always worked it might not be that issue12:39

zzarrmay be the electrons sleep and are more powered when awake? ;)12:40
ogra_heh12:40
zzarrjust kidding12:40
ogra_you could shout or use a loud horn to prove that theory12:40
ogra_i'm sure people around you will like that a lot, try it :)12:40
dobeyzzarr: i don't know exactly, but unless your goal is dialing into a bbs with minicom, a serial interface is probably not enough :)12:43
zzarrokey dobey, no that was not what I intended12:44
dobeyi'm not sure the radios in any of the supported devices even have an exposed serial interface12:44
zzarrokey, it's not a matter of altering a device12:45
dobeymardy: hi. could you re-review https://code.launchpad.net/~dobey/ubuntuone-credentials/signon-plugin-part2/+merge/296716 please? i think i have it working right, now12:45
zzarrit's if I could take a SBC and build a phone12:46
dobeyzzarr: "phone" is a pretty vague term these days, with wifi calling, and all kinds of voip services being used12:47
mardydobey: looking12:48
zzarrdobey, yes, I know, but I wish to be able to call through the GSM net like any other smart phone12:49
zzarrand use 4G data transfer12:50
dobeyzzarr: then see what ofono requires and if the gsm radio in question will work with ofono12:50
zzarrokey, thanks dobey12:51
=== chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun
dobeymardy: well, almost working right, anyway. somehow managed to casue pay-ui to get into an infinite loop now, but the basic functionality of getting the token from server, storing it in db, and reading it back out, is working; invalidation is still a bit touchy :)12:54
mardydobey: reviewed13:02
dobeymardy: hmm, how can i make sure online-accounts-ui will do the right thing when Setup.exec() is called, and there's already an account?13:29
dobeyseems it's not13:29
mardydobey: the right thing would be not to call it :-)13:30
dobeymardy: yes, well, displaying an entirely blank window, or just doing nothing, when things do call it, is certainly wrong :)13:32
mardydobey: indeed it shouldn't, it should just return13:33
dobeywell "just return" == "doing nothing"13:33
dobeyand that seems wrong13:34
mardydobey: file a bug on ussoa, please, with OAU_LOGGING_LEVEL=2 OAU_DAEMON_TIMEOUT=9999 online-accounts-service13:34
dobeymardy: and that's part of the reason why we have to delete the account currently. :-/13:35
mardydobey: weird weird, I think I tested it thorughly (though I did it with facebook, not U1)13:36
dobeyhmm13:40
dobeymardy: ok, weird. so i just added a twitter account, the app loaded, then i went to the twitter site on my PC, and revoked the app. closed twitter app, opened it again, and the page loaded fine.13:42
dobeyyay oauth :-/13:42
mardydobey: you just discovered our dirty secret :-)13:43
mardydobey: the webapps don't use oauth, it's just a trick to get the cookies from the webview13:43
dobeyoh that is bloody awful13:44
mardydobey: IOW, the webapp asks for an account, but doesn't care (or use) the OAuth token: it just gets the cookies from the account webview, and copies them into its own webview13:44
dobeyyeah, i understood13:45
mardydobey: I don't like it either, but unfortunately we didn't come out with a better solution13:45
=== chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk
dobeymardy: ok, so if for one of the scopes which uses online-accounts, if you add the account, then go to that service's web site and revoke the token and refresh the scope, what happens?13:55
mardydobey: it depends on the service: if it invalidates all the tokens, the scope should come up with the "Login..." button13:58
mardydobey: but often, OAuth tokens are given a very short life (1 hour), so it might be that the service doesn't bother invalidating them13:59
dobeyoh awesome. blank scope14:00
dobeyYouTube scope is authenticated14:01
dobeySomething weird happened14:01

altker128Hey guys, I had a chance to play with Ubuntu phone on an N4 (OTA-11) and really LOVED what I saw.14:07
dobeymardy: yeah, this is very bad.14:07
altker128Some quick questions:  Is it possible to:  Have Unity load an app on start-up, lock the app from being killed?  I want the phone/contacts/calendar to always be running and loaded (the first load takes like 10 seconds)14:07
geohotanyone ported this to arm64 devices?14:07
geohothave a ubuntu touch build working on my nexus 5, and have cm building on nexus 6p14:08
dobeyaltker128: no. that's not really a reasonable way to deal with the app startup time issue either. there is ongoing work for how to solve the various startup time issues14:08
dobeygeohot: the meizu pro5 and bq m10 tablet are both arm64 devices. they are currently using 32-bit runtimes on top of the 64-bit kernel though14:09
geohotahh, yea 32-bit runtime is ok14:09
dobeygeohot: arm64 work is ongoing for eventual move to 16.04 based images14:09
altker128dobey: Fine, but is it possible to preload an app and have it stay running?  Phone/Contacts/SMS are basic apps that should always be running14:09
geohoti'm flashing 16.0414:09
geohotseems to work14:09
geohotaka xenial-preinstalled-touch-armhf.tar.gz14:10
dobeymost stuff won't work on 16.0414:10
dobey16.04's gcc is binary incompatible, so packages from the store which use c++ code won't work14:10
dobeyaltker128: no, it's not14:11
geohotahh, yea i don't need any of the "phone-like" stuff14:11
dobeyaltker128: and i don't agree14:11
altker128dobey: Well, you're not every user.14:11
geohoti just want ubuntu userspace on android in a clean way14:11
dobeyaltker128: neither are you :)14:11
geohotand a platform to rip out the android binary blobs from14:11
altker128dobey: Dude, I'm not saying Ubuntu should make this a permanent change, I'm asking HOW to do it.  You're a really combative person.  You should try and figure out why.14:11
dobeyaltker128: no, you asked how to do something, which i told you was not doable, and you blame me for disagreeing with your ideology and stating that it is not supported.14:13
dobeyaltker128: you could theoretically create upstart jobs to start them, but there is no guarantee the apps will stay running forever. they would still be subject to the lifetime security policies, and would be killed when RAM is low14:14
dobeythere is absolutely nothing "combative" in anything i said14:14
dobeygeohot: not sure which binary blobs you mean there, but plenty are still required to have a useful device14:14
* awe_ thinks of rild, gps, hw media decoding, ...14:15
geohotreally just the camera, i'm using this for a project14:15
geohotand the android camera is laggy14:15
geohotwant to talk right to the sensor14:16
geohotgpu and ril can stay14:16
dobeywell good luck with that then :)14:16
geohotso those 64-bit devices seem to have android 4 images14:17
altker128geohot: Driving cars?14:17
geohot:)14:17
altker128:)14:17
geohotanyone gotten ubuntu on android 6 image?14:17
geohotidk how much has changed, was reading libhybris and looks like it should work14:18
altker128geohot: Did you also look into Jolla?14:18
geohotthe phone?14:18
altker128geohot: Sailfish OS has been ported to a few other devices as well14:18
geohotlooks like old ones14:19
geohoti really want the ubuntu userspace14:19
altker128geohot: Camera start-up time is often laggy since there's a processor in the camera and it's BLOB is often times loaded on start-up14:19
geohotit's not even the start up time14:19
geohotit's the frame time14:19
altker128shot to shot?14:19
altker128Oh yeah, you need it for video14:19
altker128latency sensitive14:19
geohotwave your hand in front of the camera, yea14:20
dobeygeohot: i think android 6 changed enough to break things. 5.1 base should be doable though (pro5 and m10 are 5.1 base i think)14:20
altker128geohot: The ISP of the SoC is pretty impressive but getting that stream displayed and accessible for analytics often uses CPU / software pathways14:21
altker128I should say, ISP of most cell phone SoCs14:21
geohothtc m1014:22
geohotis 6.0.1 :(14:22
geohotgoing to have to just make it work with 614:22
geohotthough the m9 has the same processor as the 6p14:24
dobeymardy, dbarth: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/159484114:32
ubot5Launchpad bug 1594841 in ubuntu-system-settings-online-accounts (Ubuntu) "Revoking of OAuth tokens handled very poorly" [Undecided,New]14:32
dobeymardy, dbarth: so, given this, i don't think there is any way we can make the changes to u1 work reliably for ota12, and we should table the changes until we can get around this problem14:39
mardydobey: makes no sense, honestly :-)14:40
mardydobey: you filed one bug with two completely different issues14:41
mardydobey: both irrelevant to U114:41
dobeymardy: no, i filed a bug with one issue, and many symptoms14:41
dobeymardy: it's relevant, because this is exactly why we must delete the token14:41
dobeys/token/account/14:42
mardydobey: no, it's a totally different case, U1 doesn't work with cookies14:42
dobeymardy: the bug isn't about the cookies14:42
dobeymardy: the bug is that online-accounts is a drastic failure in the failure case of token-based authentication account types14:43
mardydobey: OMG14:43
mardydobey: please split the bug, the only common thing that these two issues have in common is that "I don't have a clue of how OA works :-)"14:45
mardydobey: they are two very valid issues, but one is to be fixed in the Youtube scope (or maybe in unity-scope-{api,shell}), the other deserves more discussion14:46
kz6fittycentSo, I'm having VERY limited success with "scopecreator" and creating a Youtube channel scope...14:50
dobeymardy: while i'll agree that the fact we can't use OAuth to initiate a web browser session on most sites; this bug isn't about that specific issue. inclusion of that in the description is simply supporting evidence of a larger architectural problem, which the bug is about14:51
mardydobey: then please file a but about this big architectural problem, which I still don't get14:51
dobeyi did file a bug about it. it's the bug we're talking about14:52
dbarthahem14:52
dbarthwhat about using a hangout to talk?14:52
dobeyi really need to go get lunch in a few minutes14:52

mterryElleo, heyo, got a moment for a question about how the OSK handles focus / pressing the OSK return button20:44
mterryElleo, in particular, I'm trying to trace down where my entry is losing focus after pressing the OSK enter button -- does the OSK do that?  maliit?  or is it part of the qml item's accepted() handling?  I can dig more, just curious if you knew20:45
mterryActually, it's not losing focus I guess.  It's just losing the OSK20:48
Elleomterry: the OSK won't get removed unless it is either losing focus or its explicitly told to hide, but the OSK doesn't remove focus from things itself (except when the user dismisses it), I believe that's all handled by the toolkit20:50
mterryElleo, ok, and Return isn't handled specially?20:53
mterrymaybe this issue is in how the shell manages the input method surface20:53
Elleomterry: its not handled specially by the keyboard, I don't know if the UITK is doing anything extra besides emitting accepted() when seeing it20:54
mterryElleo, OK thanks for the hints!20:54
Elleono problem :)20:54
