MrChrisDruifProbably something that could be added to the FAQ but can I sideload Android apps like WhatsApp?05:47
dufluMrChrisDruif: Android apps are not supported, by any means05:48
dufluNormally you wouldn't document "things that don't work and are not intended to work", but I think this might be an exception. Because using the Android device and kernel people may well think Android apps would run05:49
MrChrisDruifSeeing that Android apps aren't the default on Sailfish OS but you can sideload them, I wouldn't be surprised if that question came up more frequently.05:55
dufluMrChrisDruif: Yeah I'm surprised too. Although maybe it does and I don't notice the IRC/web questions more often06:17
dufluI can't imagine a technical reason why someone can't some day add Android app support. It would be a significant effort though06:18

MikaelaSailfishOS people are unhappy about Android support as it takes resources from native apps and it's easier to get Android than native app to store and people won't bother making native apps as they can make Android apps. No idea where SailfishOS would be if the agreement with aliendalvik wasn't done though.08:30
brunch875I don't remember who told me before that the desktop yakketak comes with colorful smileys. Does it also come with easy means to type them?08:46
sil2100dpm: hey!08:48
sil2100dpm: we would need another package included in ubuntu-rtm/15.04 translations - sync-monitor08:48
sil2100It got recently pushed to translations.launchpad.net08:49
dpmsil2100, looking... I did see it when scanning for other missing translation templates after approving indicator-keyboard, but I didn't approve it as IIRC it was an old template from 201508:51
sil2100dpm: yeah, I think upstream pushed the new one yesterday IIRC08:53
dpmsil2100, can you see this page? https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-rtm/15.04/+source/sync-monitor/+imports08:54
dpmsil2100, it shows the 2015 upload, but not the most recent one08:54
sil2100hm08:58
sil2100I wonder where they pushed it?08:58
sil2100dpm_: so we need upstreams to push the pot files to the rtm series still, yes?09:33
dpm_sil2100, it'd be good to find out if a recent package upload happened and if that package contained the .pot file09:33
=== dpm_ is now known as dpm
sil2100hm, ok so this happened so far:09:36
sil210021:14 < bfiller> renato, sil2100 : sync-monitor should now be configured properly in lp for translations09:36
sil210021:15 < bfiller> renato, please make sure to push the most updated .pot file to trunk directly09:36
sil210021:15 < renato> bfiller, it is up-to-date already09:36
sil2100Do we now need another package upload for sync-monitor then?09:36
dpmsil2100, it seems that the upstream project has been set up for translations, but probably the source package has not been set up for creating a .pot package on upload?09:49
jgdxmardy, ping12:03
jgdxzsombi, hey, after upgrading to yakkety, I'm having issues running apps locally. It used to work just fine on xenial. Have you experienced that?12:10
jgdxthe bt says libubuntutoolkit is involved12:10
zsombijgdx: afaik the yakkety is in pretty bad shape, we don't have stable version on 5.6 yet12:11
jgdxzsombi, okay, will look at downgrading12:12
jgdxor just buy a new laptop12:14
mardyjgdx: hi!12:24
jgdxmardy, hey, I'm debugging a crash in system settings, specifically in the About page. We load a plugin using pluginManager.getByName("foo") and then create a pagecomponent. This works fine once, but subsequent attempts will often lead to a crash.12:25
=== _salem is now known as salem_
jgdxmardy, you're the author of that from what I can gather. Do you have any thoughts?12:27
mardyjgdx: I seem to remember that once kenvandine fixed a similar issue with a change which was apparently unrelated... let me see if I can find it12:28
mardyjgdx: it was some weird thing in QML12:28
jgdxmardy, this is also a qml runtime segfault12:28
* kenvandine has a vague memory of this12:28
jgdxthere are some qobject destruction via delete, that's the leading theory right now.12:32
jgdx(in the plugin manager)12:32
kenvandinejgdx, is this happening on vivid?12:33
jgdxkenvandine, yes12:33
kenvandineso we can't blame the new qt :/12:33
jgdxkenvandine, i think this is very old12:33
kenvandinejgdx, a crash in the about panel?12:34
kenvandinei haven't seen it crash12:34

jgdxkenvandine, the last comment is important12:35
mardyjgdx, kenvandine: could it have been rev 1521?12:36
mardyI remember that it was an apparent meaningless change, but it was actually fixing a crash12:37
jgdxon mako, a slower device than turbo, on which the bug can be reproduced reliably, it doesn't crash, but rather the pageComponent comes back falsy.12:37
jgdxmardy, let me try it12:38
jgdxmardy, lol, fixes it.12:39
kenvandinewow12:40
kenvandinemardy, good memory!12:40
jgdxjackprot12:40
kenvandinemardy remembers what i do better than i do :)12:40
kenvandinei vaguely remember fumbling around with this and being shocked at the fix12:41
mardyjgdx: now your task is to understand why that fixes it and document it ,-)12:41
kenvandinethat's the challenge12:41
jgdxkenvandine, heeeey r1521 has to be amended12:42
kenvandine:)12:42
mardykenvandine: it's surprising how you came up with this fix in the first place, it's certainly not something which would have ever crossed my mind :-)12:42
jgdxmardy, thanks btw12:42
mardyjgdx: yw :-)12:42
kenvandinemy only thought is the qml runtime treated upPlugin or updatePage as a global or some nonsense12:43
kenvandinethat was my theory at the time... but i had trouble believing that was actually the case12:44
kenvandinejgdx, it might be interesting to try only half the fix12:44
kenvandinelike rename the page variable but not the plugin12:44
kenvandineand also try renaming the plugin variable and not the apge12:45
kenvandinepage12:45
kenvandinenarrow down the fix12:45
jgdxkenvandine, narrows it down to “plugin”'s absence leads to a crash12:47
kenvandineok, so i guess upPlugin has some crazy scope12:48
kenvandineusing that in multiple panels12:48
kenvandinei wonder if that's actually a qt bug12:48
jgdxmardy, kenvandine: an alternative fix is just keeping upPlugin in scope by assigning it to some element in the About page.12:58
jgdxso I think since pageComponent is the only thing we hold a reference to, some other things get collected by the engine, but not if we hold a ref to upPlugin12:58
pmcgowanbfiller, I am going to submit a branch to hide the character count option, its way complicated13:01
bfillerpmcgowan, ack13:02
pmcgowanbfiller, I will write up the design fwiw since now we understand it13:04
rvrpopey: What's the url of your click backup site?13:54
jgdxrvr, it died/was moved (partially iirc) here: http://people.canonical.com/~alan/clicks/13:56
rvrjgdx: Thanks!13:56
rvrdpm: Hi. Did sil2100 ask you to add sync-monitor to ubuntu-rtm/15.04 series?14:16
rvrdpm: sil2100: Just read this https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/161791614:17
ubot5Launchpad bug 1617916 in sync-monitor "Snyc-Monitor doesn't use translations in OTA-12" [Undecided,In progress]14:17
sil2100rvr: yes, I asked, but it seems we need something done by the sync-monitor upstream still14:19
sil2100renatu: ping14:20
sil2100renatu: is sync-monitor correctly configured to build the pot files and export them to launchpad?14:21
renatusil2100, just fixed that: https://requests.ci-train.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/187014:21
sil2100renatu: excellent14:21
sil2100rvr: ^14:22
sil2100rvr: could we put that on the priority list?14:22
sil2100renatu: are all those fixes in the silo for OTA-13? I see one bug report not being targetted for any release?14:23
renatulet me re-check14:23
sil2100renatu: since we need to get this pot fix ASAP14:23
renatuthey should14:23
sil2100So that people still have time to translate before we get our final images built14:23
renatusil2100, if you prefer I can create a new silo only for that14:24
renatukenvandine, could you review this? https://code.launchpad.net/~renatofilho/sync-monitor/fix-pot-build/+merge/30451014:25
kenvandinerenatu, done14:26
renatusil2100, I could push it direct to the trunk. Since this no need test14:27
rvrsil2100: Let me see14:28
rvrsil2100: To me it is ok14:28
sil2100renatu: I'll let rvr decide what he thinks, but I would personally like to fast-track the pot change ASAP, but if the other changes look fine then we could leave it as is and just ask QA to prioritize it a bit14:29
renatukenvandine, could you top approval that :D14:29
kenvandinerenatu, done14:30
renatukenvandine, thanks14:30
kenvandinenp14:30
rvrsil2100: "#1617916 Snyc-Monitor doesn't use translations in OTA-12" is on the regression list, so it's ok to do that silo14:30
renaturvr, do you see any problem of pushing it to trunk without silo. Only for this mr?14:31
renatuhttps://code.launchpad.net/~renatofilho/sync-monitor/fix-pot-build/+merge/30451014:31
rvrrenatu: I prefer to go through silos14:31
renatuok14:31
rvrWe are not in panic mode to commit to trunk :)14:31
