Rjoneshello01:14
Rjoneshi there!01:15
learnbsdRjones: hi01:15
bregmamuka, if an X11 app running in libertine was designed to zoom in/out, then you can zoom in/out with it02:09
bregmabut there is nothing in the Unity 8 shell at the moment that will allow you to zoom in/out on arbitrary windows02:09
duflubregma: Super+wheel/two-fingers in mir_proving_server. I still think that feature should be moved into common Mir and USC... just as soon as the required cursor support is done for Unity802:22
bregmathere's still plenty of a11y functionality on the list of things to be added to Unity 8, they're pedalling as fast as they can02:26

matv1during the weekend I installed rc-proposed in my Frieza. loving lots except that Libertine apps would cause a graphics freeze everytime i tried them. Didnt matter which.10:15
matv1Usualy it would take anything between a few minutes and a max of 10 minutes.10:15
matv1just having them open would be enough10:16
matv1as I said a graphics freeze so I assume a MIR thing?10:16
matv1is anyone able to confirm this is the case?10:18
matv1Also I discovered that the particular rc-prop image i went with wasnt as up to date as i expected.10:19
matv1its rc-proposed/ubuntu-pd10:19
matv1So it might be that this is already known and fixed.10:20
matv1Can anyone shed light?10:20

Soelenhello everyone, can anyone help me out? I am trying to flash a bq aquaris e5 device with the latest ubuntu phone os10:24
Soelenhttps://github.com/bq/aquaris-E5/tree/aquaris-E5-ubuntu-master10:24
Soelenunfortunatly when I do fastboot boot boot.img the < waiting for device > message seems never to go away10:25
Soelenwhen I do adb devices I dont see my devices listed there10:25
Soelenwhen I do dmesg | grep -i usb I can see that the devices has been connected successfully, I guess "[68930.280122] usb 2-3: New USB device found, idVendor=2a47, idProduct=2008"10:26
Soelenlast but not least when I do lsusb -v | grep ID I see the devices being there but I think with no vendor attached to it? "Bus 002 Device 006: ID 2a47:2008"10:27
MrChrisDruifSoelen: is your device in fastboot mode?11:07
SoelenMrChrisDruif: how do I check that?11:11
MrChrisDruifIf you can use your device normally it isn't in fastboot mode11:11
Soelenwhat do you mean with use your device normally?11:12
mcphailSoelen: I don't know what way you are flashing your device, but it doesn't sound like the "correct" way. Do you currently have Ubuntu or Android on the phone?11:13
MrChrisDruifOn Android devices you have to hold the power and volume up button simultaneously during boot to go into fastboot mode11:13
Soelenmcphail: it has android on it11:14
SoelenMrChrisDruif: gotcha, I will try that!11:14
mcphailSoelen: then you'll probably need to bq tool to reflash it11:14
mcphailhttp://www.mibqyyo.com/en-articles/2015/09/16/ubuntu-android-installation-process-for-bq-aquaris-e4-5-and-e511:19
Soelenah thank you11:21
Soelenhaha11:22
Soelenmy spanish isnt really fluent but I think I found the link11:23
mcphailYou'll need the flash tool and the OTA12 image11:23
mcphailIIRC, when you extract the flash tool archive, you need to move it into a directory without spaces in the path, or the script breaks11:24
Soelenmcphail: ok, but11:25
SoelenI only see windows executables in this zip file11:25
mcphailSoelen: nope. script is there. Follow the instructions on that page _exactly_ or you may end up with a brick11:27
ogra_you need to do this only once though, to get the correct partitioning ...11:27
ogra_if you re-flash ubuntu on a properly partitioned phone you can just user ubuntu-device-flash then11:28
ogra_*use11:28
mcphailogra_: Unless he is fickle like me, and flip-flops between Ubuntu and Android ;)11:28

ogra_yeah, then the MTK tool is your best friend (or you just buy a nexus4 )11:28

=== _salem is now known as salem_
Soelenit is still booting, is that normal12:14
SoelenI think the boot process is stuck12:33
Soelenstill booting it12:33
Soelenit would help if somebody could tell me how long this fastboot process takes its time normally12:35
mcphailSoelen: it usually takes about 5--15 minutes, in my experience12:39
Soelenmcphail: thank you, I guess I can assume something went wrong since it is booting this phone for around 35 minutes : /12:41
mcphailSoelen: yep - that would seem abnormal12:41
mcphailSoelen: I'd repeat the process, making sure you follow every step carefully. Don't know what those error messages were about, but don't sound healthy12:42
Soelenmcphail: I disconnected it and it turned out the screen on the smartphoen froze, I guess I will charge it fully before I try this again12:45
Soelencharge the battery*12:45
Soelenalso I was sitll able to boot up android so I guess it didnt flashed anything12:45
mcphailSoelen: sounds like it12:46
Soelenalso also, I used a boot.img which I compiled it, sources from there: https://github.com/bq/aquaris-E5/tree/aquaris-E5-ubuntu-master12:46
* mcphail see bq have released Android 6 for the e4.5, and might be running the flash tool again to experiment12:46

dobeyto use ubuntu-device-flash the device must also be repartitioned14:38

Soelenoh.14:45
Soelenwho would have thought to get an ubuntu phone would be so hard14:45
dobeythe E5 is "vegetahd" for device name14:45
dobeyfrom scrollback it looks like you managed to mess things up with some other tools14:46
SoelenI guess so, so what do I do now?14:46
dobeyit sounds like the tool needs to be used to restore the device; given that device appears to be "1" you probably broke the IMEI data too. i don't know exactly what you need to do, though. perhaps bq support can help you?14:48

barrytThis is my first time on IRC so please be kind!18:55
barrytI installed UT on a Nexus 4 16Gb but had trouble connecting to my home wifi. What package should I report this under?18:56
dobeytrouble in what sense exactly? wifi itself just wasn't working right, or you had trouble typing the password, or with the UI?18:58
barrytMy SSID was shown on the list of available networks but it would not connect when I typed in my password. However if I typed the SSID using the 'hidden network' option then it would accept my password and connected succesfully.19:00
dobeyi think i've seen someone else describe that problem recently. or was that you at a different time? (hard to remember everyone :)19:01
barrytNot me: this is my first time on here.19:01
dobeyah ok19:02
barrytDo you know if a bug was filed?19:02
dobeyi'm not certain, would have to look and see19:02
barrytI could not find anything but I may not have used the correct search criteria.19:03
JanCbarry: does your SSID have special characters in it?19:03
JanCbarryt: I mean19:04
pmcgowanbarryt, are you on the stable channel? A bug with wifi connect timeout was just recently fixed19:04
barrytNo, just letters - all lower case - and numbers.19:04
barrytYes, it was the stable channel.19:05

pmcgowansounds like you found a better workaround19:06
barrytI found that one, but my password is shorter than his limit.19:06
pmcgowanI think the key in finishing in 25 secs, if you did that could be something else19:08
barrytIt could be the time limit as I have to jump back and forward between text and numbers on the on-screen keyboard which slows me down.19:11
dobeybarryt: do you have an otg cable and a spare keyboard (or a bt keyboard) to test if that's it?19:12
barrytNo I don't.19:13
pmcgowanbarryt, could try copy and paste from another place, but pretty sure thats the issue19:16
barrytYou said earlier that this has been fixed on an upstream channel. Should I just let it go and wait for the OTA update?19:17
pmcgowanbarryt, the fix will go to stable within a couple weeks or you could run rc-proposed19:19
pmcgowanbarryt, but seems you found a good workaround19:19
barrytI have a work around so I will wait. I shall also try and borrow an otg cable from a friend to see if it is the time out issue.19:20
barrytThank you for your help. Bye.19:21

matv1i am finding that launching x-apps in desktop mode causes my graphics to freeze up all the time19:37
matv1is this a known issue?19:37
matv1in rc proposed19:38
dobeybregma, ChrisTownsend: ^^19:40
ChrisTownsendmatv1: What device?19:42
matv1Frieza19:43
ChrisTownsendmatv1: You say desktop mode, do you have it connected to an external monitor?19:43
ChrisTownsendmatv1: I will say, no known issues of X apps freezing up the machine.19:44
matv1no. I thought this at first. But its just desktop mode that does it. No external screen is needed for this to be triggered19:44
ChrisTownsendmatv1: Hmm, my frieza is on rc-proposed and fully up to date and X apps launch fine in desktop mode, ie, with BT keyboard and mouse.19:45
ChrisTownsendmatv1: Is this all X apps?  And do you have your own custom Libertine container or is it the Desktop Applications container?19:46
matv1Ah well maybe we are using different images. yesterday I flashed my Frieza to rc-proposed/ubuntu-pd19:46
matv1but have since found out that this image may be a little beind other rc-prop images19:47
ChrisTownsendmatv1: Ah, no, that won't work and is deprecated.19:47
matv1ahah but which one should I be running. I was led to believe that bq-aquaris-pd currently has an empty libertine scope is that right?19:48
dobeyerr?19:49
matv1dobey did I misunderstand?19:50
dobeyyes. i said i think it has the empty _puritine_ click (because real one is like 650 MB)19:50
dobeybut either way, unless you didn't have the full one installed already, and didn't --wipe, that's not especially important19:51
matv1dobey ok so all that means that I wont be able to create new x-apps for myself on the system, correct?19:52
matv1the ones that are installed with the system are just there and working?19:52
dobeyno. you can still create your own container instead of using the default one19:53
ChrisTownsendmatv1: Yes, there is currently a problem wit hte Libertine Scope in rc-proposed that I'm currently working on.19:53
matv1ChrisTownsend So how exactly will that limit me?19:53
ChrisTownsendmatv1: The problem being that the Libertine Scope installed on devices and from the Store is built against libubuntu-app-launch2, but that has been removed from the image, so the Libertine Scope fails.19:54
ChrisTownsendmatv1: You can't launch X apps.19:54
dobeyoh that's a click19:54
dobeyfun19:54
ChrisTownsenddobey: Yes:(19:54
matv1ok and what if I go back a few revisions on that same channel?19:55
ChrisTownsendmatv1: I'm not sure of the exact revision this showed up, but yes, that is possible.19:55
dobeymatv1: well, depends on what your goal with using that channel is19:55
ChrisTownsendmatv1: You could also run stable and it will work.19:56
dobeymatv1: if it's to get/test something which landed after that point, going back won't really help you much :)19:56
matv1my aim was to be as current as I can on rc-proposed. on the on the one hand for some goodies that i want to look at coming up in ota 13 . like owncloud plugin19:56
matv1on the other hand I also definetly want the libertine purtine stuff to work19:57
matv1but I dont need it to be bleeding edge19:58
ChrisTownsendI can't publish a new version of the Libertine Scope in the Store yet because if I do, it will break everyone on stable when they update the Libertine Scope package:(19:58
matv1ChrisTownsend Stable be damned. There is work to be done!19:59
ChrisTownsendmatv1: lol, I wish:)19:59
matv1just joking. I understand19:59
dobeyChrisTownsend: you can fix it to resolve that library at runtime, and then work with either one. ;)19:59
dobeyyou know you always wanted to write a plug-in system just for loading system libraries20:00
ChrisTownsenddobey: It's probably possible, but who has time for dat?20:00
matv1ChrisTownsend dobey so my best would be to try going back a few revisions on bq-aquaris-pd and see if it hold together20:02
matv1my short experience with libertine apps on stable is that they dont crash but are slower than on rc-proposed (before they crash on me)20:04
ChrisTownsendmatv1: If you feel particularly brave, you can put your device in r/w mode and install libubuntu-app-launch2...but I'm sure others would highly discourage that.20:04
ChrisTownsendmatv1: Also, I think r175 will work.20:04
ChrisTownsendmatv1: r176 and later has this issue I believe.20:05
dobeyi think the problem with that is that the version from the overlay is no longer available20:05
dobeyso if you were able to install libubuntu-app-launch2 it would be ~18 months old20:06
ChrisTownsenddobey: Oh, rvr stated in the bug that he installed it on his device and it fixed it, so I'm just taking that with a grain of salt.20:06
matv1ChrisTownsend dobey I am still not that brave :)20:06
ChrisTownsendmatv1: lol, ok, it's not for the faint of heart.20:07
dobeymeh20:08
dobeyit's easier than getting stuff mounted in lxc20:08
matv1faintness of heart is not my problem. I am trying to put together a short demo for my it department on the system. I want to be as up to date as possible without having the risk of crashing be too big20:08
matv1but thanks very much both. i will try for rev 17520:09
matv1have a good evening!20:09
ChrisTownsendmatv1: Ok, you're welcome and good luck!20:09
