[07:00] amazoniantoad: what is the issue? someone here can help if there's more details [07:04] q1234567890: HEy sorry for the delay [07:04] q1234567890: I am trying to follow the instructions here: https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/phone/devices/installing-ubuntu-for-devices/ [07:05] But adb cannot detect the device when I boot into download mode (my phones version of fastboot) [07:06] amazoniantoad: hmm, in fastboot mode, you should use fastboot command [07:06] q1234567890: sorry, that's what I mean [07:06] q1234567890: but fastboot devices doesn't yield any results [07:07] amazoniantoad: how about adding sudo? try sudo fastboot devices [07:07] q1234567890: didn't help [07:08] I just want ubuntu as my phone ;_; [07:08] Ugh [07:09] what is your phone model? [07:09] q1234567890: Samsung galaxy s5 active with at&t [07:12] amazoniantoad: hmm... I just do some search, it looks like there's no ubuntu image for your phone yet. [07:12] amazoniantoad: where did you find the ubuntu touch image? [07:13] q1234567890: I haven't. I thought the repository would find one for me. [07:13] q1234567890: What's a phone model you suggest I buy to install ubuntu? I bought the Aquarius but it doesn't work within the US. [07:15] amazoniantoad: I think Nexus 4 is fine. You can look at supported devices here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices [07:18] q1234567890: is the ubuntu touch project dead? [07:18] amazoniantoad: why do you ask that? [07:18] amazoniantoad, as dead as you are :-D [07:19] q1234567890: there seems to have been 0 development on supporting any devices [07:19] I still get update weekly, so, may be not dead yet :P [07:19] amazoniantoad: It's still current. We are about to release the OTA-13 update too [07:19] duflu: What does that mean? [07:20] amazoniantoad: It's a periodic major update (bug fixes as well as features) [07:20] q1234567890: I don't mean a software update. I mean development to support more devices [07:20] I want to develop for the platform very badly but my ubuntu phone is not functional within the US [07:21] amazoniantoad: We can't talk about new devices obviously, but if you watch the various related software projects you will see all of them active on a daily basis. [07:21] hm [07:22] morning hi [07:22] morning hi [07:22] And FYI much of the dev team is in Europe. So not "dead" but still asleep :) [07:22] oh some life in here! [07:23] seems it's not been that active recently [07:23] duflu: Well if someone could do a little hand holding in the beginning I could do development for the US [07:23] someone with a support issue? what's the issue? just joined [07:23] Never done any kind of porting work before [07:23] development and porting of what ? [07:23] SebthreeBQM10HD: I want to install ubuntu touch on my phone. Ordered aquarius but it hardly functions in the US [07:23] SebthreeBQM10HD: porting ubuntu touch to various devices [07:23] amazoniantoad, ordered aquarious when, and which one ? [07:24] and yes there's a like network thing, since the networks are a bit differnet or whatever in USA [07:24] the networks don't quite work [07:24] SebthreeBQM10HD: E5 last december [07:24] properly [07:24] or you only get 2g, but no 3g [07:24] ? [07:24] Hardly ever even get 2g [07:25] and the aquarious doesn't have 4g [07:25] Calls constantly dropped [07:25] Bad connection, people say my phone goes directly to voicemail [07:25] amazoniantoad, that's a common known thing, that does Ubuntu phones don't really work properly in the USA, since the networks being a bit differnet there to Europe etc [07:25] Yeah [07:25] that those above [07:26] amazoniantoad, not sure if anything can be done about that, since really it's a network thing isn't it? the fualt of the American networks :D ? [07:26] Well, if it is released on a phone that is supported within the US then it wouldn't be an issue [07:26] it's a hardware thing [07:26] if what's released [07:26] ? [07:26] Ubuntu touch [07:27] amazoniantoad, the remoured probable nex Ubuntu phone, the Meiazu MX 6, may have more support for the American networks, but people get that from a chinese company [07:27] Meizu Mx 6 [07:27] that's for now being sold with Android only, but remour has it there will be an Ubuntu versiion as well [07:28] SebthreeBQM10HD: I hope so [07:28] well not so much a remour, omgubuntu has had mentions about that etc [07:28] amazoniantoad, Meizu phone are more high end or mid range [07:29] amazoniantoad, the BQ stuff is generally known to be cheaper etc, but. out of the two BQ tables I am using the cheaper one the HD, don't have the FHD meaning to buy that as well [07:29] I'd like to port ubuntu touch to my device in the mean time. Is there any kind of information on porting? [07:29] and even this cheaper of the two tablets, is pretty awesome really for what it is :) [07:29] !porting [07:29] !port [07:29] For instructions on how to set up port-forwarding (for games, torrents, webservers) see http://portforward.com - also see !firewall [07:29] SebthreeBQM10HD: Yes the phone OS was incredible.But I couldn't use it at all [07:29] there is a page some where about porting [07:29] lol. not port forwarding [07:29] also mariogrip when around would be good to chat to about that [07:30] amazoniantoad, it's a cop of the #ubuntu bot I think, so not really set up for this channel properly [07:30] a copy above [07:30] ah [07:30] but !ubuntu can be a cop sometimes to :D [07:30] !language [07:30] The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [07:30] that was an example :d [07:31] and I was trying to be slihgtly funny, anyway yes mariogrip he has ported unoffially to the One Plus One and three [07:31] and [07:31] https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/phone/devices/porting-new-device/ [07:31] the Fairphone [07:31] so one person that would be good to chat to when around more about porting [07:32] amazoniantoad, I think it's quite a lot of work trying to get it onto other things, and also whilst it working well enough [07:32] thnks [07:32] various things are likely to not just work on most phones that trying to port hte OS to etc [07:32] which phone do you want to port to? [07:32] galaxy s5 active [07:33] ok, but your going to need a load of time if your really going to seriosuly try and port it over, and where it's working enough as well [07:33] The best phone I've ever owned. can take a beating and it's waterproof [07:33] since varous things are likely to not just work etc, as I was saying [07:33] Yeah [07:33] and even your port may then get an issue with the american networks maybe I guess or possibly [07:34] SebthreeBQM10HD: I doubt it. The issue is with the hardware [07:34] amazoniantoad, also I am not sure, but I Think for unoffical phones, suck with just develper mode really [07:35] hm [07:35] a bit like when if people bought the ANdroid aqurious phones, and then put Ubuntu on them selves [07:35] right [07:35] amazoniantoad, I think developer mode is mostly the same, but won't have the Nokia gps or whatever it was I think [07:38] Elleo: great! Look forward to experimenting with it ;) === davmor2_hols is now known as davmor2 [09:46] Hello. What is the correct way of launching an application from the terminal app? libertine-launch is giving $DISPLAY errors [09:47] And also, what is the status on developing applications without Ubuntu? [09:54] john-mcaleely: I'm fighting against syncing the code for couple days and just found https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/phablet-tools/+bug/1610650 [09:55] Ubuntu bug 1610650 in phablet-tools (Ubuntu) "can't sync sources" [Undecided,Fix committed] [09:55] Could you please restart gerrit? [09:55] divis1969, I can ask again, sure [09:55] divis1969: best place to ask is #canonical-sysadmin [09:55] because that's all we do :) [09:56] doing it now [09:56] Perhaps this could be helpful to figure out the reason: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/repo-discuss/i4d2pvUWcj4 [09:56] Thanks [10:03] hi please [10:04] Hm, gerrit restart seems did not solve the issue. Should I contact #canonical-sysadmin ? [10:05] Oh, yes, it is working now! [10:05] Thanks again! [10:14] you're welcome. sorry it's a bit flaky === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk === marcusto_ is now known as marcustomlinson_ === marcustomlinson_ is now known as marcustomlinson [11:38] restarting gerrit did not help - I was able to sync a single repository and the issue apears again. I'm wondering is there any fork for ubuntu-touch repos that I can use temporary? [11:38] Also I've noticed gerrit 2.7 is used which is released in 2013. Any plans to upgrade it? [12:34] divis1969, as noted elsewhere, no plans I'm aware of. I've raised a ticket with our infrastructre folks to investigate why it has become so flaky [12:35] good luck hunting for a mirror - I am not aware of any, but they may well exist === _salem is now known as salem_ === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun === pstolowski is now known as pstolowski|lunch === dandrader_ is now known as dandrader [14:24] hey has anyone here had luck with installing on a Chinese Meizu Pro 5? [14:25] I've extracted all the touch tars to /system but I'm still not showing an OS [14:27] clumsymittenhand: i have seen reports of others doing it [14:27] clumsymittenhand: I think I heard something about this on popey and flexiondotorg's last podcast. I think you need the international version. Not sure you can install on the Chinese one. I may be misremembering [14:28] whoops [14:28] mcphail, Has summoned me. [14:28] https://plus.google.com/u/0/103449842981186239877/posts/RBDbK82Lt83 [14:28] yeah I got far enough to change the firmware to the int version so I could get the fastboot unlocked. Now I'm stuck getting the actual OS to install. [14:28] flexiondotorg: popey got there first ;) [14:29] cool I'll check it out. I've gone through like 6 guides so far and none of them work. I feel like once I get this it's gonna be a new fundamental concept about ubuntu that opens up for me. [14:30] maybe take the mittens off? === petevg is now known as petevg_afk [14:30] clumsymittenhand, This is the specifics for changing Chinese firmware to International/Global [14:30] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65533839&postcount=69 [14:31] clumsymittenhand: let me know how you get on. I dropped my bq at the weekend, and I might be in the market for a new device. If I can install to a Chinese meizu it would make life easier [14:31] clumsymittenhand, What FlymeOS version do you have right now? [14:32] If you have 5.1.60 you need to downgrade to at least 5.1.30 in order to enable root in the FlymeOS Settings. [14:32] It you have FlymeOS 4.x then even better, enabling root is easier. [14:34] yeah I got past that part. No more flyme. bootloader is unlocked. [14:35] Im stuck with TWRP loaded on it. I can't get the touch OS to install. All I can get is an ubuntu logo on recovery. [14:35] I got the ubuntu kernel installed though so when it boots I get a nice "Meizu powered by Ubuntu screen" [14:36] On the bright side, ubuntu logos are pretty [14:38] :/ [14:38] on my M10 I'm still having issues with the terminal, and losing the keyboard every time I switch windows [14:39] I thought it had something to do with being in a chroot, because once I could press enter and switch between root@blah blah and nathan@blahblah, crashing only whenI pressed something else [14:40] But now I lose keyboard control in the terminal just switching to Chatter and back [14:40] without any chroot business [14:41] and... now it's not doing it [14:41] weird [14:47] clumsymittenhand, Sec. I have a link coming for you.... [14:49] clumsymittenhand, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67713435&postcount=20 [14:50] THat ^^^^ is a link to a TWRP full system backup for OTA-11 for the Pro 5. [14:50] You can restore that using TWRP and you'll have a bootable OTA-11. [14:51] After restoring the above, (it is safe I've checked it throughly) boot into it and check stuff works. [14:51] However, that backup above has the TWRP recovery in it. [14:51] It you want OTA update to work, you'll need to download the Pro5 Ubuntu recovery and flash that via fastboot. [14:52] Then you can boot OTA-11 and do an update to OTA-12. [15:01] going through popey's guide.... but I ran out of space extracting the ubuntu tars [15:01] what is it that screws up the ota updates? [15:02] not having the ubuntu recovery, which knows how to unpack them, I suspect [15:04] ah, seems a weird way to set it up [15:14] and terminal crashes again [15:16] leaftype, popey: also people making the system read write and filling up the system space so there is nowhere for the new image to go, also :) [15:17] davmor2, lol [15:18] sweeeeeet. Popey thank you so much. I was missing step 6.5. [15:18] ooh [15:18] Thats exactly what I needed. I'm up and running after 3 days. [15:19] yay [15:19] any idea when snappy will arive in touch? [15:19] not any time soon. [15:19] leaftype: when it gets there :) [15:20] lol :) [15:20] while I'm at it, I feel like I should change my name on here.

[16:11] how did you clear the device? [16:12] clumsymittenhand: settings→reset→reset device [16:14] ubuntu-device-flash using /cache in device, and the total volum is 400+M, but the file which need to be download to /cache is big than that. [16:14] i do that in recovery mode [16:16] i want to know if i can modified the recovery.img, so i can change the /cache to become more bigger [16:17] deeeeeerw: did you make it read/write and install apps with apt? [16:18] what recovery are you using? TWRP? [16:18] i am in recovery mode, using power+volup, and i can use "adb shell" to visit the device with read/write right. [16:19] my recovery image is recovery-cooler.img [16:20] which is downloaded from "https://system-image.ubuntu.com/" [16:20] anything important in /cache/recovery? You could just clear it out. [16:20] or manually push the needed tars to /sdcard [16:21] using adb push /path /path [16:21] i can clear everything in /cache/recovery, but the total vol in /cache is 400+M, it's too small [16:22] Hello, I want back up and restore sms and contacts on ubuntu touch, I checked some tutorial, but no function or I don't understand well. Can somebody help me? [16:24] deeeeeeerw I'd just manually push the install files from your computer to the phone and do it manually... but if you hang around someone who knows more can prbly help. [16:25] i can push the file to other patition, such as /dev/mmcblk0p23, but the next step is reboot the device and go into Recovery mode,and recovery init system, [16:27] if i change the directory of the files, the flash operation can't go on [16:30] thank you [16:31] deeeeeerw: was this an ubuntu device from the start or an android one? Have you fired it up and installed apt based apps? [16:33] Hello, I want back up and restore sms and contacts on ubuntu touch, I checked some tutorial, but no function or I don't understand well. Can somebody help me? [16:33] it's a android device, but i want to install ubuntu OS back. [16:34] deeeeeerw: john-mcaleely might be able to help you but I think you need to use the mtk flash tool to get the initial image on as the android file system is completely different to the ubuntu one [16:37] i have used the mtk flash tool to flash the recovery-cooler.img already, and so i can use ubuntu-device-flash command [16:38] thank you, but how can i contact with john-mcaleely? === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader [17:03] Has anyone notice higher power consumption on rc-proposed my phone already died.

So, I'm thinking of taking popular android apps and building an ubuntu touch version of them...Thoughts? [23:22] oh, water resistant cases? [23:22] JanC: well no actually. I thought it was too. It's just a really good case to protect the phone. All of the cases I have found my the aquarius suck really bad [23:24] Is there a channel for ubuntu-touch development? [23:25] When I try to start a test app that was generated by the ubuntu-touch sdk the app crashes/the emulator screen remains black [23:26] there is #ubuntu-app-devel [23:27] Nice. I'm thinking of just making copies of top android apps because my god there is much to be desired from the store [23:27] And its organization is very poor [23:38] Also, does ubuntu touch allow for desktop if you hook up a computer monitor to it now? [23:42] depends on the hardware & such [23:42] Ah [23:43] JanC: so is there anything cool coming out with any future updates or? (sorry for all of the questions. Trying to give ubuntu touch another go) [23:44] I don't know too much about what they plan to release when [23:44] I see [23:47] I'd suggest waiting or asking again when people are at work in Europe (where AFAIK most developers are) [23:48] k [23:52] AFAIK the idea is that you can run a Unity 8 / Mir based desktop on hardware that allows it (not sure that's true for the e5?) [23:53] I mean, not sure it allows connecting a monitor
