| GarettM | Well shit | 00:30 |
| GarettM | Okay then just use fastboot to flash the images then bro i was trying to guide you through the safe method | 00:30 |
| helpzonline2 | do you know how | 00:30 |
| GarettM | Nope xD | 00:31 |
| helpzonline2 | ok... | 00:31 |
| helpzonline2 | thanks for ur time | 00:32 |
| GarettM | Sorry bro like i said I'm learning as i go | 00:33 |
| helpzonline2 | ok... | 00:33 |
| GarettM | There should be a guide somewhere for your device | 00:34 |
| helpzonline2 | can u suggest me anything... | 00:34 |
| GarettM | What are the images you got | 00:34 |
| helpzonline2 | ubuntu.img and boot.img | 00:34 |
| GarettM | I can suggest but dont get mad at me if i give you a brick | 00:34 |
| helpzonline2 | ok | 00:34 |
| GarettM | And whats your device? | 00:34 |
| helpzonline2 | Sony xperia z1 | 00:35 |
| helpzonline2 | i got a web page | 00:35 |
| GarettM | sudo fastboot -S 256M flash boot boot.img | 00:35 |
| GarettM | sudo fastboot -S 256M flash system ubuntu.img | 00:36 |
| GarettM | sudo fastboot feboot | 00:36 |
| helpzonline2 | ok | 00:36 |
| helpzonline2 | i have some text saved can u look into it | 00:36 |
| GarettM | Run that command in the same folder you have those files | 00:36 |
| helpzonline2 | its for nexus | 00:37 |
| GarettM | So let's say those files are in Downloads type "cd ~/Downloads" before running fastboot | 00:37 |
| helpzonline2 | ok | 00:37 |
| GarettM | Wait what? Those files are for the nexus?! Dont run them | 00:37 |
| helpzonline2 | no | 00:37 |
| helpzonline2 | i mean i saved some text for doing fastboot... | 00:38 |
| GarettM | Ahh just run what i said its from the page for your device | 00:38 |
| helpzonline2 | but the method was given for nexus phone | 00:38 |
| helpzonline2 | ok | 00:38 |
| helpzonline2 | i will try that | 00:39 |
| GarettM | Fastboot is for Android in general | 00:39 |
| helpzonline2 | Step 5: Connect your device via a USB cable to your PC running Ubuntu. Youll be prompted in Android to authorise it. To check the connection is working, type (at the prompt) adb devices You should see your device listed with a series of numbers and letters. If your device isnt shown, try first typing: adb kill-server Step 6: If you havent already done so, now is the time to back up your Android apps and data. Also, n | 00:39 |
| GarettM | Type adb devices to check if your device is connected | 00:40 |
| GarettM | I would advice you to learn more about the adb commands and fastboot commands as they will help a lot | 00:40 |
| helpzonline2 | ok | 00:40 |
| helpzonline2 | helpzonline:~/Downloads$ adb devices * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * * daemon started successfully * List of devices attached | 00:46 |
| GarettM | fastboot not adb dude listen to what i say or you will brake your phone | 00:49 |
| helpzonline2 | to see if the device is connected | 00:51 |
| GarettM | Your phone is in fastboot so yeah fastboot devices | 00:55 |
| GarettM | Pretend adb doesn't even exists right know | 00:55 |
| helpzonline2 | :~/Downloads$ sudo fastboot devices [sudo] password for helpzonline: BH906N2L09fastboot | 00:58 |
| helpzonline2 | BH906N2L09 | 00:58 |
| helpzonline2 | devices is connected right | 00:58 |
| helpzonline2 | now can i run sudo fastboot -S 256M flash boot boot.img | 00:59 |
| GarettM | Yes .... Please never ever ever put your password on here | 01:00 |
| helpzonline2 | no its not the password | 01:01 |
| helpzonline2 | its the id | 01:01 |
| helpzonline2 | of phone i think | 01:01 |
| GarettM | Okay xD | 01:01 |
| GarettM | Run the fastboot commands | 01:01 |
| helpzonline2 | ok | 01:02 |
| helpzonline2 | its wil take somtime right??? | 01:05 |
| GarettM | Most likely | 01:08 |
| GarettM | Also it might take a while for the first boot too | 01:09 |
| helpzonline2 | its rebooting | 01:09 |
| GarettM | Like 10 minutes worth i believe i waited on the samsung G3 when it first came out | 01:09 |
| helpzonline2 | showing ubuntu | 01:09 |
| GarettM | Awesome | 01:09 |
| helpzonline2 | ys done | 01:09 |

| ogra_ | you are aware that porting is rather a matter of weeks/months and not just days ? | 12:38 |
| cariveri | then et me come in first. how to I upgrade the ubuntu phones system? | 12:41 |
| ogra_ | it notifies you if there is an upgrade ... you just go to system-settings and hit the install button | 12:42 |
| cariveri | ok. then it seems an upgrade to 16.04 ist not yet offered. | 12:43 |
| ogra_ | no, that will still take quite somme time | 12:43 |
| davmor2 | cariveri: the phone system is on it's own image | 12:43 |
| davmor2 | cariveri: it doesn't follow releases the same way as the desktop | 12:44 |
| JakesDen | Can anyone help me port it? | 12:44 |
| cariveri | davmor2: ok, understood. the actual problem is the network mananger as it seems. | 12:44 |
| davmor2 | cariveri: nm on the phone is the same as the version in Yakkety plus patches for ofono | 12:45 |
| ogra_ | JakesDen, mariogrip runs https://ubports.com/, he is perhaps able to give you some hints if he finds the time | 12:45 |
| cariveri | davmor2: the funny thing is, its licence is not viewed and a error message of an app says it is unset. also switching from wifi to g3 network doesnt work unless I restart the phone. | 12:46 |
| davmor2 | cariveri: did you make your phone read write and install anything from the deb archive? | 12:47 |
| cariveri | davmor2: deb archive ? no I used the store for installations. | 12:48 |
| davmor2 | cariveri: okay then that is a really weird issue, what device is this? | 12:49 |
| cariveri | davmor2: bq aquarius e5 | 12:50 |
| davmor2 | cariveri: can't help you out with that one but it should be the same as e4.5 and that here is working fine so not sure why you are seeing an issue, might be best to file a bug against network-manager | 12:52 |
| davmor2 | cariveri: attach you syslog to it from the phone | 12:53 |
| cariveri | davmor2: I got a network status app and it says Initialized:No | 12:55 |
| cariveri | even though it is online | 12:55 |
| davmor2 | cariveri: what network status app | 12:55 |
| cariveri | called networkstatus | 12:55 |
| davmor2 | cariveri: there is a review for the app that says, No gateway address, no dns info, no traffic info | 12:58 |
| ogra_ | likely the app has a bug | 12:58 |
| dobey | JakesDen: please don't randomly PM people | 13:07 |
| JakesDen | dobey, i wanted to talk to you about a previous conversation | 13:08 |
| cariveri | the general error message that I have seen on different occasions was something like "error opeing shm / lttng-ust-wait ..." | 13:16 |
| dobey | that's a warning, and non fatal | 13:16 |
| ogra_ | dobey, well, admittedly it could be prefixed with "warning: " | 13:17 |
| cariveri | error is considered a warning? anayways .. how about .. | 13:17 |
| dobey | "error" in computer programming is often like "theory" in science | 13:18 |
| dobey | there's clear evidence that something didn't work as expected, but it's not always exactly an error in the layman's sense :) | 13:19 |
| ogra_ | well, that specific line is definitely not an error but log spam that should be filtered | 13:20 |
| ogra_ | yet, itself saying "error" is definiitely confusing | 13:20 |
| * ogra_ blames tedg | 13:20 | |
| dobey | ogra_: you think that's confusing? it could be -ESUCCESS | 13:21 |
| ogra_ | lol | 13:21 |
| davmor2 | ogra_: technically it is an error in permissions but not in programming but it is an error that can't be remedied in the current setup iirc | 13:21 |
| cariveri | how could I tell what is an what not an error in the logs? | 13:22 |
| dobey | right. it's a warning :) | 13:22 |
| ogra_ | well, all apps run through a wrapper ... would be easy to filter that line and not have it fill up your log | 13:22 |
| dobey | yeah, that should be possible | 13:22 |
| ogra_ | and while it is a warning, after all it causes *a lot* of disk IO due to writing to the log | 13:23 |
| dobey | but then it sets precedent | 13:23 |
| dobey | and then we end up engineering a general solution to filter out all kinds of other things too | 13:23 |
| ogra_ | we should just not log at all | 13:23 |
| ogra_ | unless the user sets a toggle | 13:24 |
| ogra_ | i'd even consider that a security feature | 13:24 |
| ogra_ | logging just eats your performance | 13:24 |
| dobey | somehow i doubt logging is the performance bottleneck on ubuntu phones | 13:25 |
| ogra_ | it is one | 13:25 |
| ogra_ | surely not the big one :) | 13:25 |
| ogra_ | but once your MMC onn the nexus5 is worn out you will agree ;) | 13:25 |
| dobey | well, running apps is a bigger performance bottleneck. if you want a fast phone, you shouldn't run apps | 13:25 |
| ogra_ | except that you dont run apps on ubuntu phones | 13:26 |
| ogra_ | you run "an app" | 13:26 |
| dobey | well, surprisingly, it's not dead yet after 2 years of ubuntu | 13:26 |
| ogra_ | (teh others are just screenshots in the spread after all) | 13:26 |
| dobey | ogra_: the others aren't just screenshots | 13:26 |
| dobey | ogra_: they are still occupying RAM, even if they aren't in the running state | 13:27 |
| ogra_ | if your app is greedy enough, all thats left are screenshots | 13:27 |
| ogra_ | they get OOMed | 13:27 |
| dobey | i think that's expected, but not always the case | 13:27 |
| ogra_ | sure | 13:27 |
| ogra_ | but after all you always only run one app | 13:28 |
| ogra_ | which was my statement :) | 13:28 |

| TomLee | Hello there | 13:39 |
| cariveri | ok thanks so far. | 13:39 |
| TomLee | Curious whether BQ Aquaris E4.5 has support for desktop apps on the phone | 13:39 |
| TomLee | I've seen that in OTA-12 M10 has desktop apps section in the tablet | 13:40 |
| ogra_ | TomLee, currently only nexus4, meizu pro5 and the bq M10 have support for this | 13:40 |
| TomLee | any plans to expand this? | 13:41 |
| ogra_ | i dont think so | 13:41 |
| TomLee | currently own the e4.5, switched to android due to bad usability, want to switch back at the moment | 13:41 |
| ogra_ | the 4.5 really has not enough ram and wont have any way to attach an external display | 13:41 |
| TomLee | ah... external display mandatory | 13:42 |
| ogra_ | not mandatory | 13:42 |
| TomLee | was hoping for a way to turn the desktop mode inside the phone, however bad it is and use the desktop apps inside the phone | 13:42 |
| ogra_ | but at 940x480 or whatever the 4.5 has and the dpi size of x apps your fonts will only be 2px tall | 13:42 |
| ogra_ | and you wont really be able to interact with the apps | 13:42 |
| ogra_ | ui elements will be to small etc | 13:42 |
| TomLee | makes sense | 13:43 |
| ogra_ | the M10 gets along fine with no external screen | 13:43 |
| ogra_ | the pro5 is not really usable either, but if you go very close you can actually use libreoffice with a mouse on its screen :) | 13:43 |
| TomLee | by any chance, do you know what happened to supporting .apk on ubuntu-touch? | 13:44 |
| popey | TomLee: it was discussed, but never put on the plan | 13:44 |
| ogra_ | you would have to ship a whole jvm inside your click package | 13:45 |
| TomLee | I'm aware of that | 13:45 |
| ogra_ | and it would have to talk to Mir | 13:45 |
| ogra_ | (and have to deal with confinement and input layer issues) | 13:46 |
| ogra_ | so it would be quite some effort | 13:46 |
| TomLee | too much effort, that could be directed towards other parts that need improvement | 13:46 |
| mcphail | ogra_: would there be any way to switch between mir and surfaceflinger? Presumably the android libc is living at the other end of libhybris anyway? | 13:47 |
| ogra_ | i dont think that works anymore, no | 13:47 |
| ogra_ | it used in the very early images | 13:47 |
| ogra_ | but you wont be able to run unity on SF anymore | 13:47 |
| mcphail | Yes. Just wondering if you could have some sort of state change between Unity and a running android app | 13:48 |
| ogra_ | nope | 13:48 |
| ogra_ | even back then it required a reboot | 13:48 |
| mcphail | aah. OK | 13:48 |
| ogra_ | so your state change would be "reboot into that kiosk app" ... if it would work at all | 13:48 |
| ogra_ | and indeed the kiosk app wouldnt have any way to reboot then ... so you would have to do a hard reset ... | 13:49 |
| ogra_ | and potentially lose data | 13:49 |
| mcphail | messy | 13:49 |
| ogra_ | yep | 13:49 |
| TomLee | that's expected when trying to combine two different ecosystems | 13:50 |
| ogra_ | well | 13:50 |
| TomLee | speaking of, any support for polymer/angular within the UI creation ( I haven't looked into it AT ALL) | 13:50 |
| ogra_ | there is no combining | 13:50 |
| TomLee | Let's say scopes, I recall it's done with JS | 13:51 |
| ogra_ | there is a black box ubuntu talks to | 13:51 |
| ogra_ | andd in that black box you have some drivers and daemons to make these drivers work | 13:51 |
| ogra_ | annd the pther way round ... i.e. shipping your jvm in the click would be closer to something like virtualbox oon your PC | 13:52 |
| * ogra_ wonders why his kbd does all these double chars | 13:52 | |
| TomLee | butter fingers | 13:53 |
| ogra_ | heh | 13:53 |
| TomLee | thanks for the info orga_, I'll need to reflash the os today, might make a custom scope, if not too lazy ;) | 13:58 |
| dobey | huh | 14:00 |
| illegalprime | I asked yesterday but had to leave: any word on when more ubuntu touch phones will be in stock? | 14:20 |
| dobey | you'll have to ask meizu or bq about when they will have stock available for their phones | 14:20 |
| dobey | or whomever third party distributor you're trying to buy it from | 14:21 |
| illegalprime | dobey: I see, I'll try that. I am afraid that Ubuntu decided to stop producing more phones, since they are *all* out of stock | 14:22 |
| ogra_ | ubuntu doesnt produce phones :) | 14:22 |
| ogra_ | we only make the software here ... it is really up to manufacturers to decide on the rest | 14:23 |
| dobey | right. we just make the OS | 14:23 |
| dobey | the manufacturers produce the phoens | 14:23 |
| dobey | canonical/ubuntu don't make hardware :) | 14:23 |
| ogra_ | well ... there are stickers and usb sticks in the canonical store ;) | 14:24 |
| illegalprime | ogra_: right, I know you guys are software people, so I guess its weird for me to expect Canonical having a hand in the supply of their phones | 14:24 |
| ogra_ | but nothing more complex than that ;) | 14:24 |
| illegalprime | it makes more sense for meizu to decide wether to keep selling them or not | 14:25 |
| ogra_ | right | 14:25 |
| ogra_ | the ports are slowly coming together though ... at some point theer should be more fully working devices | 14:26 |
| ogra_ | then you could just buy one of these and re-flash | 14:26 |
| illegalprime | is it strange that all 4 devices are out of stock? | 14:26 |
| ogra_ | matter of demand i guess | 14:26 |
| illegalprime | well I would like to support ubuntu-touch by buying a phone directly | 14:26 |
| illegalprime | i guess there are more direct ways to support the cause | 14:27 |
| ogra_ | the tablet should still be in stock ... | 14:27 |
| ogra_ | that doesnt help much if you actually want a phone indeed :) | 14:27 |
| illegalprime | sorry I mean the 4 phones | 14:27 |
| dobey | well, you can just give us money :) | 14:27 |
| illegalprime | how much of the phone money goes to Canonical? | 14:27 |
| * ogra_ brings the tophat | 14:28 | |
| dobey | if you buy a phone? no idea | 14:28 |
| popey | all of it if you donate directly | 14:28 |
| illegalprime | lol is there a way to specify 'I wanted to buy a phone but no one will sell it to me so here is some money instead?' | 14:29 |
| dobey | popey: well, all of it minus the processing fees :) | 14:29 |
| * mcphail would be happy to send a sub every month specifically for phone development | 14:30 | |
| Acou_Bass | xD illegalprime doesnt the canonical donation page have options for where you want the money to go (eg. desktop? server? phone? other foss prrojexts?) | 14:31 |
| Acou_Bass | thatd probably give the hint that you want the phone to improve :D | 14:31 |
| dobey | Acou_Bass: sure, the donation page when downloading the ubuntu iso has that | 14:31 |
| Acou_Bass | ahh i thought the nornal one did too | 14:32 |
| mcphail | Acou_Bass: not for phone dev, as far as I can see. Best it offers is "convergence" | 14:32 |
| illegalprime | mcphail: I guess that's close | 14:32 |
| Acou_Bass | ahhh hmm | 14:32 |
| dobey | Acou_Bass: there's also ubuntu-donations.canonical app in the store, which doesn't provide a way to specify that, but makes it easy to donate a few specific monetary amounts | 14:32 |
| Acou_Bass | yeah | 14:32 |
| * mcphail views convergence as a "stretch goal" rather than a priority | 14:33 | |
| dobey | mcphail: i think you got that backwards :)_ | 14:33 |
| Acou_Bass | canonical disagrees apparently, theyve made huge leaps on the xonvergence story recently | 14:33 |
| dobey | pretty sure convergence is a priority | 14:33 |
| illegalprime | I always wondered: is it better to support development through payment or through software contributions? | 14:33 |
| mcphail | dobey: yes, but not for me ;) | 14:33 |
| Acou_Bass | what with wifi displays and stuff | 14:34 |
| dobey | illegalprime: yes :) | 14:34 |
| illegalprime | dobey: thanks. :) | 14:34 |
| Acou_Bass | i imagine for faster developnent, code contribution would make stuff happen faster (throeing money at devs doesnt make for faster code if theyre already working at full speed) but money is still good | 14:35 |
| illegalprime | My job doesn't give me a lot of free time, but I guess the real solution is a job at canonical | 14:37 |
| mcphail | I imagine devs work most efficiently in austere surroundings, free of the distractions of modern life, consumer goods and food. Don't donate a penny! :p | 14:37 |
| dobey | we need beer | 14:38 |
| illegalprime | mcphail: haha but sometimes that sounds nice, but just for a little bit | 14:39 |
| dobey | and bacon | 14:39 |
| ogra_ | baconbeer ! | 14:40 |
| illegalprime | So back to the important question: If I'm in the US, looking to buy the Meizu Pro 5, which is sold on joybuy.com (the only US facing store I can find), do I call Meizu or JoyBuy? | 14:41 |
| mcphail | illegalprime: I'd imagine the first port of call would be the distributor | 14:42 |
| illegalprime | mcphail: thanks, I'll give it a go. thanks everyone! | 14:45 |

| media1 | touch screen not woking after porting sony z1 with ubuntu touch - any solution? | 16:29 |
| GarettMcCarty | Idk about ubuntu touch but maybe there is a solution in dsmesg? | 16:31 |
| GarettMcCarty | It could be a lack of driver support or it could be a udev issue i think... But i am still porting so i have no clue | 16:32 |
| media1 | k. | 16:33 |
| media1 | any way to add driver. | 16:33 |
| media1 | r u porting using honami ? | 16:34 |
| GarettMcCarty | It would have been with the vendor or device files i believe, i just started with ubuntu touch yesterday and im still porting xD | 16:34 |
| media1 | k. | 16:36 |
| media1 | reply if u get the touch working. | 16:37 |
| media1 | is your device z1 | 16:37 |
| GarettMcCarty | No my device is the LG G4 TMO / H811 bro i did help someone yesterday though | 16:38 |
| GarettMcCarty | Your probably him xD | 16:39 |
| media1 | ya its me | 16:39 |
| media1 | ohh wow | 16:39 |
| media1 | i just want to enter ... | 16:40 |
| GarettMcCarty | Can you connect to the device with adb? | 16:40 |
| media1 | now its showing language selection and struck there | 16:40 |
| media1 | yes | 16:40 |
| media1 | let me try | 16:41 |
| GarettMcCarty | run adb shell dmesg see if it returns anything, you might have access but not sure | 16:41 |
| media1 | usb debugging cant be accessed... | 16:41 |
| media1 | coz touch is not working | 16:42 |
| GarettMcCarty | Sorry bro :( i wish i could stay and help you debug this but i gotta start work in a few minutes | 16:42 |
| media1 | k... | 16:42 |
| media1 | when wil u be online | 16:42 |
| media1 | it says device not found. | 16:46 |
| GarettMcCarty | Ill be online in 9-10 hours | 16:47 |
| media1 | k | 16:48 |
| GarettMcCarty | Wesnday and Thursday i have off so if you haven't solved it by then ill be there to help just look for GarettM or Garett McCarty | 16:48 |
| media1 | it din work | 16:48 |
| media1 | ok.. i wil | 16:48 |
| ogra_ | note: it is more likely that you can catch devs here during european workdays ;) | 16:49 |
| GarettMcCarty | Sorry bro read up on your device wiki page on ubuntu maybe they have a solution to your problem. | 16:49 |
| media1 | is there any other channel available | 16:49 |
| media1 | k... | 16:49 |
| ogra_ | media1, tyr catching mariogrip once he is around ... he does a lot of porting work | 16:49 |
| ogra_ | (and runs the ubports.com page) | 16:50 |
| media1 | k...thanks | 16:50 |
| ogra_ | there is also a forum on ubports i heard | 16:50 |
| GarettMcCarty | Ill have to catch him to maybe i can setup a build server for official CyanogenMod ports | 16:51 |
| ogra_ | perhaps someone there hit such an issue before | 16:51 |
| ogra_ | usually touchscreen isnt actually a prob ... (i havent seen it not working before ... if Mir runs, the touch input usually works too) | 16:51 |
| media1 | hmm | 16:52 |
| GarettMcCarty | Thats why i said its probably a udev issue | 16:52 |
| media1 | i have some one else hav the same prob online | 16:52 |
| GarettMcCarty | Well off to work bros catch you later! | 16:52 |
| ogra_ | so logs ... syslog ... the output of /system/bin/logcat, dmesg ... check them | 16:52 |
| ogra_ | if your touchscreen needs a binary blob driver you might need to make sure that the /vendor has the needed bits | 16:53 |
| ogra_ | *the /vendor dir | 16:53 |
| ogra_ | that it is a missing udev rule is possible, but not really likely if you even have the UI up already | 16:54 |
| media1 | i din undersand everything... | 16:56 |
| dobey | check the logs | 16:56 |
| media1 | in /system/bin/logcat | 16:56 |
| ogra_ | right, start with the logs | 16:56 |
| media1 | right??? | 16:56 |
| ogra_ | i would start with the default ubuntu logs... | 16:57 |
| ogra_ | and if there isnt anything interesting, then run the logcat binary to get info from the android container | 16:57 |
| media1 | ok | 16:58 |
| t-ask | Hi, I just look at http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/devices and all devices are sold out? really? I mean, are there new evices planned? | 17:08 |
| mcphail | t-ask: it looks like meizu and bq have been adopting a strategy of small production runs. Fair enough, as the phone isn't really a mass-market device yet | 17:10 |
| media1 | when the device is connected it says cant mount device | 17:11 |
| media1 | is it coz of usb debugging not activated | 17:12 |
| t-ask | media1: maybe try another USB cable | 17:16 |
| media1 | ok | 17:16 |
| t-ask | media1: I bought a cheap one and it wasn't working | 17:16 |
| media1 | does it need usb debugging enabled | 17:17 |
| t-ask | media1: strange, but it turned out another cheap one did the job ,) | 17:17 |
| media1 | ok | 17:17 |
| ogra_ | media1, for mtp access you need to set up the right defaults in the android container at build time ... (and indeed in ubuntu mtp-server needs to run) | 17:18 |
| media1 | hmmm | 17:18 |
| ogra_ | there is no other USB file access implemented currently (well ... apart from adb push/pull) | 17:18 |
| media1 | it saying waiting for device | 17:19 |
| ogra_ | adb ? | 17:20 |
| ogra_ | didnt you say above you had adb access working ? | 17:20 |
| media1 | in terminal when i run adb logcat | 17:20 |
| media1 | no it din work sorry | 17:21 |
| ogra_ | you cant run adb logcat :) | 17:21 |
| ogra_ | use adb shell to get in ... | 17:21 |
| media1 | oohh | 17:21 |
| ogra_ | then you can run /system/bin/logcat to obtain logs from inside the android container | 17:22 |
| ogra_ | but as i said, that should be your last setp | 17:22 |
| ogra_ | start with the typical ubuntu logs first | 17:22 |
| media1 | ok | 17:22 |
| media1 | just run this : /system/bin/logcat | 17:23 |
| ogra_ | no | 17:23 |
| ogra_ | first look at the ubuntu logs | 17:23 |
| media1 | ok | 17:24 |
| ogra_ | if you dont find anything in there, then check the container ... (it is more likely your issue is on the ubuntu side and that something isnt properly hooked up) | 17:25 |
| t-ask | I hop OTA12 fixes the video issues... it will be on wednesday right? | 17:25 |
| ogra_ | which video issue ? | 17:26 |
| ogra_ | (yeah, should be wed. or thu.) | 17:26 |
| media1 | sys/bin right | 17:26 |
| ogra_ | /var/log | 17:27 |
| t-ask | Can't play certain mp4 file + if clicking a video it opens Media and Galler, while Gallery is quite useless | 17:27 |
| ogra_ | and the dmesg command | 17:27 |
| ogra_ | t-ask, did you try opening from the video scope ? | 17:28 |
| t-ask | I think I did try almost everrything... w8 | 17:28 |
| ogra_ | (note that the filemanager is not really suited to open videos) | 17:28 |
| ogra_ | (iirc there is a bug that copies them around first and such) | 17:29 |
| media1 | var/log/dmesg | 17:29 |
| media1 | ??? | 17:29 |
| t-ask | ogra_: yes, I noticed, I couldn't even replay a 2GB camera recorded one | 17:30 |
| ogra_ | the camera app should play it fine | 17:30 |
| t-ask | btw where are those "copies" copied to? | 17:30 |
| t-ask | no it didn't | 17:30 |
| ogra_ | depends on the target app | 17:30 |
| t-ask | I recorded on SD and then I think it copied it to internal | 17:31 |
| ogra_ | yeah, thats a bug | 17:31 |
| t-ask | and which is the target folder? | 17:31 |
| ogra_ | the camera app itself should be able to play it from its builtin gallery though | 17:31 |
| t-ask | I guess it must be fiull of stuff now | 17:31 |
| ogra_ | well, it depends what apps were involved | 17:33 |
| t-ask | Media, Galler, Camera ... I have nothing speacila on this | 17:34 |
| t-ask | I just know watching with Media took minutes to load somehing | 17:34 |
| t-ask | and even didn't work at all | 17:34 |
| ogra_ | well, each app has its own workdir | 17:36 |
| t-ask | Is there a button for "delete caches tmp folders" | 17:36 |
| ogra_ | so it would be copied to that | 17:36 |
| ogra_ | usually somewher in ~/.local or ~/.cache | 17:36 |
| t-ask | ok file manager doesn't show hidden files | 17:36 |
| ogra_ | there is an option in the settings | 17:37 |
| t-ask | why aren't apps forced to cache in /tmp? | 17:37 |
| ogra_ | (might be that you need to unlock it first) | 17:37 |
| ogra_ | because tmp isnt safe | 17:37 |
| dobey | you mean content-hub copies files around? | 17:37 |
| dobey | well, tmp is also RAM | 17:37 |
| ogra_ | all apps could see stuff from other apps | 17:37 |
| ogra_ | dobey, it does ... when file-manager is involved | 17:38 |
| ogra_ | old bug | 17:38 |
| ogra_ | i have never seen a video not play back when played directly from the camera app though | 17:38 |
| dobey | ogra_: i mean, doesn't the same issue exist when sharing something via content-hub to a webapp or such? | 17:38 |
| ogra_ | dobey, depends ... if there is a mediascanner entry that can be used, i think that should just be taken | 17:39 |
| ogra_ | i forgot how that worked ... | 17:39 |
| ogra_ | to long ag that i have seen phone code :P | 17:39 |

| media1 | var/log/dmesg right | 17:43 |
| media1 | hi <ogra> | 17:45 |
| media1 | i din get the logs | 17:52 |
| media1 | <ogra> can u tell the process once more | 18:03 |
| media1 | i cant access the device | 18:03 |
| media1 | its connected to pc | 18:03 |
| media1 | while connecting it says unable to mount | 18:03 |
| media1 | can it be done in fastboot mode | 18:06 |
| ogra_ | media1, how did you even get that running if you dont have adb access ? | 18:13 |
| ogra_ | doing a port without adb to debug the initrd issues and other stuff to get the UI up is nearly impossible | 18:14 |
| media1 | ok | 18:14 |
| media1 | after flashing cant do the setting coz touch wont work | 18:15 |
| ogra_ | how did you build what you flashed ? | 18:15 |
| ogra_ | and how did you manage to make it bring the UI up ? | 18:15 |
| media1 | its in language selection screen | 18:15 |
| ogra_ | yes, you said that multiple times | 18:16 |
| media1 | fastboot method | 18:16 |
| ogra_ | ok, and how did you build the images for this ? | 18:16 |
| ogra_ | normally a new port doesnt "simply boot" that takes weeks of work | 18:17 |
| media1 | i got it from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices/minato | 18:17 |
| === salem_ is now known as _salem | ||
| ogra_ | oh | 18:17 |
| === _salem is now known as salem_ | ||
| ogra_ | thats probably a very early proof of concept image this uses | 18:18 |
| media1 | hmm??? | 18:18 |
| ogra_ | ah, no.., thats from ondra ... | 18:19 |
| ogra_ | so why dont you talk to him then ;) | 18:19 |
| media1 | can i??? | 18:19 |
| media1 | how??? | 18:20 |
| ogra_ | (i didnt know there was a recent sony port public ... the ones i know are 3 years old and total rubbish) | 18:20 |
| ogra_ | media1, heis in this channel ... but probably not around at this time ... | 18:20 |
| ogra_ | just try to catch him during european work hours | 18:20 |
| media1 | ohhh really | 18:21 |
| media1 | his nickname is ondra | 18:21 |
| ogra_ | yes ;) | 18:21 |
| media1 | ok | 18:21 |
| media1 | can i ask u one more thing | 18:21 |
| media1 | this phone i flashed hav a problem of shutting down . saying high temperature | 18:22 |
| ogra_ | did you use his pre-built images or did you build them following the instructions ? | 18:22 |
| ogra_ | yes, the wiki says that power management doesnt work | 18:22 |
| media1 | no not tht | 18:23 |
| ogra_ | see the known issues at the bottom | 18:23 |
| media1 | before flashing | 18:23 |
| ogra_ | power handling/BT/camera/MHL/calls do not work | 18:23 |
| media1 | so i tried with cynogenmod. | 18:23 |
| media1 | but still shuts down | 18:23 |
| media1 | but in linux on the language screen it never shuts down | 18:24 |
| ogra_ | no idea, might be the recovery you use brings it to a state where it doesnt do any cpu preqiency scaling or some such | 18:24 |
| media1 | even its hot | 18:24 |
| media1 | ok | 18:24 |
| ogra_ | (when it gets hot before flashing) | 18:24 |
| media1 | yes shuts down | 18:25 |
| media1 | cant even rechareg | 18:25 |
| ogra_ | yes, thats also described there | 18:25 |
| media1 | so this phone was not usable | 18:25 |
| media1 | before | 18:25 |
| media1 | now it working fine | 18:25 |
| media1 | but cant enter lol | 18:25 |
| ogra_ | well, wait for ondra ... he might be around tomorrow during the day | 18:26 |
| media1 | now whats the time there | 18:26 |
| ogra_ | iirc he should be in london currently ... 19:30 ... | 18:27 |
| media1 | its 12 am here | 18:27 |
| ogra_ | you could also write a mail to the mailing list ... which makes the conversation a bit more async :) | 18:28 |
| media1 | ok | 18:28 |
| media1 | i din get the mail id | 18:29 |
| media1 | is it listed there | 18:29 |
| ogra_ | wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch ... | 18:29 |
| ogra_ | go to the launchpad group and join it | 18:30 |
| ogra_ | thenn you are subscribed to the list | 18:30 |
| JanC | I wish there would be a mailman list... :-( | 18:30 |
| ogra_ | well, it is actually mailman | 18:31 |
| ogra_ | just using a launchpad frontend | 18:31 |
| dobey | indeed | 18:32 |
| dobey | in fact, most of launchpad has an e-mail API | 18:32 |
| JanC | last time I was subscribed to a launchpad ML it was all broken (wrong defaults that you couldn't change etc.) | 18:32 |
| dobey | JanC: well that doesn't mean it's not mailman. :) | 18:32 |
| JanC | using mailman isn't useful if you use it wrong :) | 18:33 |
| dobey | eh, mailman configuration is like religion. it's almost always wrong :) | 18:36 |
| * dobey blames barry | 18:36 | |
| dobey | barry, who isn't here | 18:36 |
| ogra_ | yeah, probably at the sprint | 18:36 |
| * dobey misses being at sprints | 18:37 | |
| ogra_ | (and given that it is 20:37, there is probably beer time now) | 18:37 |
| JanC | IIRC when people did reply-to-all instead of reply-to-list you wouldn't get the list-mail or something like that | 18:38 |
| dobey | yeah, i think that's how it works | 18:44 |
| mcphail | too many clients don't offer reply to list these days | 18:45 |
| dobey | too many people still use e-mail these days | 18:46 |
| media1 | i made an account... | 18:46 |
| media1 | still i ill be waiting for him here... | 18:46 |
| media1 | thanks <ogra> for ur time | 18:47 |
| media1 | :) | 18:47 |
| ogra_ | np | 18:49 |
| ogra_ | JanC, and if emacs was vim we'd all use emacs :P | 18:50 |
| * ogra_ likes that he can do personal replies without accidentially replying to the list ... thanks to that setup | 18:50 | |
| JanC | eh? if I want to reply to a person I just do reply | 18:52 |
| JanC | the problem is that it breaks my mailing list filters | 18:53 |
| dobey | yeah, reply to all goes to the list anyway | 18:53 |
| dobey | it's just that you don't get two e-mails when people reply to you | 18:53 |
| dobey | ie, the list sees you're in the to/cc line, and you're also a list member, so it doesn't send you a copy of the mail you were sent directly | 18:54 |
| * ogra_ doesnt get two | 18:54 | |
| JanC | except mailman sends the one without list-id header | 18:54 |
| dobey | mailman doesn't send one at all | 18:54 |
| JanC | with the launchpad config | 18:54 |
| ogra_ | and my filtering works also fine ... | 18:54 |
| ogra_ | but then i filter since a long time based on LP headers | 18:54 |
| dobey | i solved it mostly by just not replying to mailing lists unless i feel the need to do so | 18:55 |
| ogra_ | i always use ctrl-l | 18:55 |
| ogra_ | :) | 18:55 |
| dobey | fwiw, lp behaves the same as another mailman list i admin which isn't on lp. so i don't think i'd blame lp for those defaults. | 18:56 |
| JanC | dobey: except when the users have access to the mailman web UI, they can change that themselves | 18:56 |
| JanC | users = subscribers | 18:57 |
| dobey | soylent green is users | 18:58 |
| ogra_ | yum yum yum | 18:59 |

| GarettMcCarty | So people here is my progress i have none of the files listed in vendorblobs.mk so my solution is to remove that file for the makefile then rerun build -j8 when i get it to build will it even boot or will it go retarded because it expects those files? I also removed all the lib64 libraries | 23:09 |

| ujwal | I am trying to build and flash Ubuntu touch | 23:16 |
| GarettMcCarty | What device? | 23:17 |
| ujwal | when I try to use rootsock installer shell script to flash system.img in ubuntu recovery it says "Error: device not found" | 23:19 |
| ujwal | device is Nexsus 4 | 23:19 |
| GarettMcCarty | I have no clue what rootsock is why not just use fastboot mode? | 23:19 |
| ujwal | but this built system.img is only 80MB which is andriod system image but actual system.img is 480MB includes system.img [ubuntu rootfs+ andriod ] | 23:22 |
| GarettMcCarty | Hmm interesting no clue but that 80mb is probably an error loll | 23:24 |
| ujwal | oh ok so where would i have gone wrong in building it | 23:25 |
| GarettMcCarty | I would make clean then rebuild it you can try to flash it and see if it works, but isnt there supposed to be 2 files a boot.img and system.imh | 23:27 |
| GarettMcCarty | system.img* damn phone | 23:27 |
| ujwal | yes I have many .img files in that boot.img, recovery.img and system.img files are there | 23:28 |
| GarettMcCarty | Do a clean build and flash them | 23:28 |
| ujwal | oh ok | 23:29 |
| ujwal | can you guide me with any links which can help me in building this image [just to keep track of how my build steps should be] | 23:30 |
| GarettMcCarty | do you have all the sources? I started learning how yesterday loll | 23:31 |
| ujwal | lol | 23:32 |
| ujwal | I have only this link [https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/phone/devices/porting-new-device/] | 23:32 |
| GarettMcCarty | Step one gather sources | 23:32 |
| GarettMcCarty | Whats your device? | 23:32 |
| ujwal | Nexus 4 | 23:32 |
| GarettMcCarty | Oh yeah stupid... | 23:33 |
| GarettMcCarty | I have no clue with your device | 23:34 |
