[01:28] <Observiing> Hey, I'm hoping someone could help me get my port to boot. The build looks good as far as i know and  installs correctly but I cant seem to get it to boot. Ive added all the cmdline arguements to boot referencing a similar port. The only thing I have noticed that stands out is that using the recovery built with the build, the recovery didnt mount /data and /cache partitions, i had to mount them manually in an adb shell prior t
[01:30] <Observiing> TWRP does mount the partions automatically, everything installs. but it doesnt boot. I can enter recovery afterwards but cant pull any logs. I can see the system.img in /data and loop mount it, and everything is there.
[01:31] <Observiing> would anyone know what avenue atleast to look into to resolve this please?
[01:35] <kz6fittycent> mariogrip is your best bet
[01:39] <Observiing> Thanks, hopefully he'll drop in
[01:40] <kz6fittycent> I think he's in Europe and probably asleep. "I THINK"
[01:40] <Observiing> I'm also in Europe but wide awake lol
[01:40] <kz6fittycent> https://ubports.com/
[01:40] <kz6fittycent> I assume you've been to that site...
[01:41] <Observiing> yes
[01:41] <kz6fittycent> okay, just checking
[01:42] <Observiing> I haven't been able to post on that site for some reason
[01:42] <Observiing> it just hangs
[01:42] <kz6fittycent> hmm, I usually see him during the ubuntu-on-air show
[01:44] <Observiing> ok thank you, perhaps someone else might be able to help at some point, no rush
[01:45] <kz6fittycent> good luck
[01:45] <Observiing> thank you
[07:03] <frankg> goodmorning all, want to share a problem with my Meizu mx4
[07:16] <frankg> anybody?
[07:16] <Coolguy42> yes?
[07:16] <frankg> allright, I have no cellular data anymore since OTA-12
[07:17] <frankg> I cannot toggle the switch cellular data. It is disabled
[07:18] <frankg> both cellular data and Data roaming toggleswitches are disabled
[07:18] <duflu> frankg: It seems you're not alone. Please join in: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1609055
[07:21] <duflu> frankg: Sorry, please check bug 1607079 and bug 1598010
[07:21] <duflu> Both have fixes targeted for OTA-13
[07:22] <frankg> fix for ota-13??? that is in at least one month from now
[07:24] <duflu> frankg: I know. Sometimes fixes come out sooner but regardless we have to start by targeting the next whole number
[07:25] <duflu> I'm still waiting on OTA-13 to fix broken wifi too (bug 1588126)
 ah ok
[07:45]  * mcphail votes for an OTA12.5 to try to fix those significant regressions
[07:50] <duflu> I'm not sure when OTA-13 is due but I do know we had to take a short-cut in Mir releases and do a 0.23.5 release because 0.24.0 would not have made it in time. So OTA-13 sounds soon
[07:51] <mcphail> Aah. I dimly remember someone saying OTA12--13 would be a longer gap than usual, but I'm probably havering
[07:57] <duflu> The official target date is apparently three weeks away: https://launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+milestone/13
[08:40] <yakaar> Hello everybody, I have a big problem with my Aquaris E4.5 ubuntu edition : I made an update and it ask me to reboot my mobile. But when the update was done, it didn't boot and it stop on the screen ubuntu is working infinite. How to repare this ?? BQ support is not responding when I call them !
[08:41] <yakaar> is someone can help me ??
[08:43] <k1l> the reboot after an update can take a bit longer
[08:45] <yakaar> but when it take days ??
[08:48] <yakaar> and doesn't work after one week ?? I test to shutdown, wipe cache and even I'm trying to see what I could do in fastboot
[08:49] <k1l> well. then i would reflash the ubuntu system
[08:51] <yakaar1> k1l:  have you any idea how I could repare this ? else than wipe datas??
[08:54] <k1l> hard to say without any erroremessagesa
[08:54] <k1l> did you do the ota update? did you enable the reawrite on the / partition? did you use apt-get?
[08:59] <yakaar> I didn't do the ota update, but I did this command sometimes : mount -rw -o remount /  and yes I used apt-get, but it was long time ago
[09:00] <k1l> wait, what update did you mean then?
[09:03] <yakaar> I don't know exactly if it is the OTA, my mobile was bugging and I searched the way to debug it. I went to the update center and found a main update of the system to do. I did it and it cannot work now
[09:04] <k1l> that sounds like the ota12 update
[09:05] <k1l> and making the / rw is known to cause issues on regular ota updates.
[09:06] <yakaar> how to repare this ??
[09:14] <yakaar> is it possible to repare it ??
[09:20] <yakaar> k1l: have you any solutions ?? or must I wipe data/ factory reset my mobile ?? I would like to backup my datas is it possible ??
[09:21] <k1l> yakaar: i dont know. sorry. i only have a nexus4 with ubuntu and there the OTA worked fine
[09:24] <yakaar> ok I will try again to call BQ support
[09:29] <duflu> Someone should have told yakaar: http://askubuntu.com/questions/602035/how-do-i-use-ubuntu-device-flash-with-the-bq-aquaris-e4-5-and-aquaris-e5
[09:30] <raph_ael> if he has support, he should ask them before
[09:34] <k1l> duflu: doesnt that wipe data?
[09:37] <popey> k1l: if you --wipe or --bootstrap, but you don't have to
[09:38] <k1l> ah ok
[12:00] <robinhero> hey guys, the power button isn't working perfect on my Nexus4. Is there a way to I can unlock it with double tap or some other gesture? Sometimes I need to push it to hard and I think it will be worse by time...
[12:01] <Mister_Q> robinhero no there are no gestures or double tap yet
[13:14] <robinhero> Mister_Q, sorry for the late reply, but is there a bugWhistlist report for this on Launchpad?
[13:15] <robinhero> it would be very useful
[13:15] <robinhero> If there's no bugrepot, I'll fill one
[13:15] <Mister_Q> just file a bug on launchpad against canonical system image
[13:22] <Colin__> Hello ? um.. I'm Colin. I get a trouble now. I tried "rm -rf /" and erased all files on my Meizu mx4 ubuntu. And I tried "ubuntu-device-flash ...... --bootstrap" to reinstall OS. But I'm failed. What should I do? How can I reinstall Ubuntu touch? Why it printed "recovery can't flash" on fastboot screen when I tried reinstall OS?
[13:26] <mcphail> Colin__: I don't think you can reflash with the default recovery, which has adb disabled. You may need to install a recovery with adb activated. I had to do this on my bq phone
[13:26] <Mister_Q> Colin__ see https://github.com/MariusQuabeck/magic-device-tool . the tool tells you exactly what to do
[13:26] <popey> ooooh
[13:26] <popey> the first outing of Mister_Q's magic tool :)
[13:27] <Colin__> >.<
[13:27] <popey> if this was telegram I'd paste https://imgur.com/YsbKHg1h
[13:27] <Colin__> thx
[13:27] <Mister_Q> popey, haha I had to :D I wrote it exactly for that usecase ;)
[13:28] <mcphail> Mister_Q: neat!
[13:28] <Mister_Q> It also contains a cool tool by popey ;)
[13:29] <popey> \o/
[13:29] <Mister_Q> I hoped you believed Marius Quabeck and Mister_Q are different persons because I only messaged you on telegram yet :D
[13:29] <popey> can you also credit Stuart Langridge for that, we worked on it together, thanks :)
[13:29]  * popey introduces Mister_Q to /whois
[13:29] <popey> 14:29 [freenode] -!-  ircname  : Marius Quabeck
[13:29] <popey> I know all :)
[13:30] <popey> even people who come in here with different nicknames each week :)
[13:30]  * mcphail enjoys pretending to be popey when he goes away on holidays. Much havok to wreak
[13:32] <Mister_Q> popey I updated the readme and I know about whois :D I just thought you did not looked it up because you mentioned me always as Mister_Q on the community team q & a :D
[13:33] <popey> haha, true
[13:34] <popey> I like reading out peoples irc nicknames :)
[13:35] <Mister_Q> makes sense
[13:53] <Colin__> um... Excuese me... magic-device-tool is a nice tool.. But I still can't flash recovery in fastboot. (I used to switch uTouch from rc to stable image in ubuntu-device-flash, I think  enviorment must be fine) So.. Meizu device 's recovery not support flash?? ( sry my poor English skill >.<).
[13:57] <Mister_Q> Colin__, what did you do exactly? the tool can flash the downloaded adb recovery and flash ubuntu. I just tried it on my mx4
[13:57] <dobey> Colin__: you must use the recovery image provided on the wiki page
[13:58] <dobey> if you want to use ubuntu-device-flash with one of the meizu ubuntu phones
[13:58] <Colin__> um... "rm -rf /".  But I can't flash recovery before do this.
[13:59] <Mister_Q> dobey, I'm using that in my tool.. https://github.com/MariusQuabeck/magic-device-tool/blob/master/devices/mx4/ubuntu/stablewipe.sh
[14:00] <Colin__> I readed your script. And I tried dowload that recovery.img and "fastboot flash..." but still failed Q.Q
[14:01] <Mister_Q> what does 'fastboot devices' say?
[14:02] <Colin__> " partition 'recovery' not support flash" Q.Q
[14:03] <Mister_Q> did you bought the phone with flymeos?
[14:03] <Colin__> no...
[14:03] <Mister_Q> hmm
[14:05] <Mister_Q> did you follow the instructions to get into fastboot? I will try it again on my mx4 as soon as it finishes the current flash but I tested everything on my mx4 with the tool and it worked fine :(
[14:05] <dobey> well, to be fair you presumably also didn't rm -rf / first
[14:06] <Mister_Q> yeah
[14:06] <Mister_Q> in that case its possible that you also removed your imei partitions which would mean you have to send it back to meizu for an imei repair
[14:07] <Mister_Q> although rm -rf / should not affect fastboot
[14:08] <Colin__> Thank you so much XD.
[14:08] <Colin__> Does fastboot locked?
[14:08] <Mister_Q> oh except when its mounted in ubuntu
[14:09] <Colin__> "mounted in ubuntu?" O.O
[14:10] <Mister_Q> the fastboot files are stored somewhere in / its not mounted on most systems to avoid such things but it seems like it is in ubuntu
[14:10] <Mister_Q> Colin__, are you familiar with the sp flash tool?
[14:13] <Colin__> sp flash tool?  no  >.<
[14:15] <Mister_Q> Colin__, follow the instructions there http://forum.xda-developers.com/meizu-mx/general/meizu-mx4-how-to-flash-ubuntu-touch-t3210039 . and stick to the instructions. otherwise you will brick your phone.
[14:16] <Colin__> Thank you so much :D
[14:17] <Mister_Q> thats one of the reasons why I wrote that tool. to stop people from using dangerous oem tools.. kinda funny that I'm recommending it now but I also never rm -rf / on a phone :D
[14:18] <Mister_Q> Colin__, good luck. Ill be back in ~1h and will see what is left from your phone
[14:18] <Colin__> XD
[14:23] <dobey> not sure why one would do "rm -rf /" anywhere, unless the intent was to break things
[15:00] <mcphail> I'm not sure you can even run "rm -rf /" without extra flags anyway
[15:01] <k1l_> the kernel should block that
[15:02] <mcphail> they added the "--no-preserve-root" flag to rm
[15:02] <mcphail> keeping "--preserve-root" as default behaviour
[15:02] <k1l_> erm, yes. rm, not kernel
[15:09] <alex___> hi, how do i install ubuntu on a tablet with eufi and a detachable keyboard (64bit / intel atom processor)
[15:16] <alex___> hi
[15:26] <Mister_Q> Colin__, I'm back. How's your phone?
[15:27] <Colin__> still frozen O.O
[15:33] <dobey> alex___: if you mean standard ubuntu ISO install, that's a question for #ubuntu i guess
[15:36] <Colin__> I tried flash a system.img which from ~/.cache/ubuntuimages/pool/xxxxxx.zip.  Failed to boot finally O.O Why?
[15:37] <Mister_Q> Colin__, seems like rm -rf / wasn't a great idea..
[15:38] <Colin__> I see Q.Q
[15:39] <Mister_Q> you should send it to meizu
[15:40] <Colin__> Okay XD
[15:41] <Mister_Q> sorry that I could not help you
[15:44] <Colin__> Um.. It's time to sleep. Bye~ :D
[16:16] <tsp__> sup
[16:32] <brunch875> hayu peeps, I did some clean-up in contacts.google.com
[16:32] <brunch875> How do I sync?
[16:44] <dobey> brunch875: i don't know if there is a way to force a sync
[16:44] <brunch875> well that's too bad :c
[16:45] <brunch875> I remember forcing contacts to sync before but I cannot seem to find that functionality anywhere anymore
[16:50] <davmor2> brunch875: in contacts on the phone you hit the sync button
[16:50] <brunch875> Where is that button?
[16:51] <davmor2> brunch875: top right next to the search button
[16:51] <brunch875> uh oh
[16:51] <brunch875> I only have the gear and the lens
[16:51] <brunch875> I'm on rc-proposed. Maybe it's temporarily gone? :P
[16:52] <davmor2> brunch875: ah can't help you then I'm on stable on this phone
[16:53] <brunch875> I should report this anyway, right?
[16:57] <brunch875> I have some extra issues too:
[16:57] <brunch875> →Libertine fails to create because dpkg returns 1 @ match
[16:57] <brunch875> →Videos scope  displays no online results
[16:57] <brunch875> →News aggregator only displays results from two sources
[16:57] <brunch875> →Vimeo "login" doesn't finish loading and can't cancel it so it locks up all scopes if trying to log in from a scope
[17:03] <sjm> Hello
[17:59] <yakaar> Hi I would like to know if it's possible to save my datas on a aquaris E4.5 where the system is not booting, the ubuntu screen is running infinitely ?
[18:02] <dobey> yakaar: what updates channel are you on for that device? rc-proposed?
[18:05] <yakaar> I don't know I didn't change from the factory state
[18:05] <yakaar> and I cannot verify
[18:07] <dobey> do you have developer mode enabled?
[18:07] <dobey> ie, you can connect to the device with adb?
[18:12] <yakaar> yes the developper mode is enabled, but I cannot connect with adb, it tell me device offline
[18:14] <dobey> ok. so technically should be possible to get the data off, but may be quite difficult. it sounds like unity8 keeps crashing for you. have you tried rebooting the phone at all?
[18:17] <yakaar> yes I tried many times, but unsuccessfully. And I tried to call BQ support without success...
[18:17] <yakaar> I tried to wipe cache partition
[18:18] <dobey> i don't think cache partition is the problem
[18:18] <dobey> can you reboot to bootloader or recovery ok?
[18:33] <yakaar> yes I can do it
[18:35] <yakaar> from bootloader can I connect it with adb
[18:35] <yakaar> ??
[18:35] <yakaar> I'm on recovery mode
[18:53] <Mister_Q> dobey yakaar sounds like your using the stock recovery which has no adb
[18:58] <yakaar> yes, how to recover datas so ??
[18:58] <yakaar> is it possible??
[19:00] <yakaar> or in fastboot Mister_Q do you know any solution??
[19:01] <Mister_Q> yakaar sure. flash the adb recovery and then install ubuntu on it again https://github.com/MariusQuabeck/magic-device-tool
[19:04] <yakaar> But my datas will be deleted ??
[19:04] <Mister_Q> yakaar, not if you choose the option switch channel/reinstall in the tool
[19:05] <yakaar> ok, how can I flash the bootloader??
[19:06] <Mister_Q> thats also an option that offers the tool
[19:06] <Mister_Q> and it will tell you what you have to do
[19:06] <dobey> you don't want to flash the OS from the bootloader
[19:06] <dobey> doing so will destroy your data
[19:07] <Mister_Q> thats why he should flash the adb recovery first and then boot into it
[19:07] <dobey> you want to flash the adb-enabled recovery from bootloader, then in recovery you should be able to recover your data, or just re-flash from recovery without losing data
[19:08] <Mister_Q> thats the whole point of the tool. to tell the user what to do without having endless conversations on irc. but sure dobey can help you as well
[19:12] <yakaar> Mister_Q : I'm on your tool and I hav three option : [1] Install Ubuntu
[19:12] <yakaar> [2] Screencast
[19:12] <yakaar> [3] Back to menu
[19:12] <Mister_Q> install ubuntu
[19:13] <Mister_Q> then "[0] Flash ADB recovery (you need to do this first)"
[19:39] <yakaar> and now the screen is black
[19:40] <yakaar> and the mobile is hot
[20:08] <Mister_Q> yakaar now you can boot into recovery
[20:31] <yakaar> it stop at wait for device
[20:32] <yakaar> Mister_Q: I'm on fastboot and it doesn't work
[20:37] <Mister_Q> yakaar well I know for a fact that its working if you follow the instructions. I have to sleep now, will be around in ~8h again
[20:43] <yakaar> ok thanks a lot for your help, see you later, I will follow the instruction by myself. And I would ask you later if it doesn't work.
[20:44] <yakaar> it says Detecting device
[20:44] <yakaar> no permissions	fastboot
[20:44] <yakaar> Device detected !
[20:44] <yakaar> [3;J
