biotechy2kHi guys a complete N00B here just teaching myself Linux09:47
biotechy2kquestion has anyone managed to load Ubuntu touch on a Nexus 7 Tablet09:49
popeybiotechy2k: on the nexus 7 2013, yes, not the nexus 7 201210:00
mardy_Mirv: hi! Do you have a minute to look at bug 1613670? I wonder if you are aware of any ubuntu patches which might trigger this...10:16
ubot5bug 1613670 in oxide-qt (Ubuntu) "Webview turns white after clicking on it" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/161367010:16
Mister_Qbiotechy2k you can try https://github.com/MariusQuabeck/magic-device-tool10:17
biotechy2kThank you for that Mister_Q I've saved to favorites10:22
biotechy2kAny peeps from Australia here10:23
Mister_Q:)10:23
biotechy2kManaged to Unlock the Nexus no probs using the terminal and OEM unlock but got a few errors with the install I'm using 16.0410:24
Mister_Qare you using the tool?10:27
Mister_QI used it for my n7 2013 (flo) yesterday to flash ubuntu on it and it worked :)10:28
biotechy2knot yet did it through the terminal I've only been using Linux for about 6 to 8 weeks and self taught it's lateish here and I've had one too many beers so will probably attempt it tomorrow when I have an RDO10:28

biotechy2kI think mins is a tilapia why did they name them after fish anyway LOL10:29
biotechy2kended up with either flag errors or argument errors and not man command available10:30
Mister_Qif its tilapia then you shouldnt try to install ubuntu10:30
Mister_Qis it 32gb + 3g?10:30
biotechy2kand couldn't access my Linux command manual on my other tablet which died10:30
Mister_Qtilapia is the 2012 version and is not supported/there is no ubuntu port for that10:31
biotechy2kyes 32 gb and 3 g can't complain it was given to me as a broken tablet I managed to unlock and to a factory hard reset guess I'll have to keep it as a google device (shudder)10:32
biotechy2kok thanks for that10:32
Mister_Qnp10:32
biotechy2kI was getting all excited to have an Ubuntu tablet LOL oh well S**T happens10:33
biotechy2kgot any suggestions to what other Linux OS I can put on it10:33
Mirvmardy_: hmm not much. if it works in xenial overlay then it's not Qt (as is) at least, as yakkety and xenial overlay currently have identical Qt versions.10:33
ogra_Mister_Q, i think the "deb" image should work on that ... it will probably not use all of the disk though10:33
Mirvoh, last comment10:34
Mister_Qogra_ yeah that worked when we still used phablet-flash but not anymore10:34
ogra_ah10:34
Mister_Qogra_ I could try to build the deb port and add it to my tool but I dont see a reason to put effort into the 2012 models. they are just slow10:36
ogra_oh, thats 201210:36
Mister_Qyes10:36
ogra_no, that wont work anyway10:36
ogra_i thought it was a deb with bigger MMC10:36
Mister_Qflo worked on deb10:36
ogra_yeah, it does ... just no 3G then10:37
Mister_Qyes10:37
biotechy2kI thought that was the point of Linux worksfaster on old hardware I'm using an old HP nearly 10 yrs old runs 16.04 really well10:37
ogra_yes, but your device is a tegra chipset, with the old tegra there were massive graphics driver issues10:38
Mister_Qbiotechy2k you should try a custom android rom called slimrom. its the only one that is somehow usable10:39
ogra_which is why the 2012 model is not supported ... google changed to different hardware with the 2013 model10:39
biotechy2kI'll look into it but on chef's wages upgrading to current hardware is a dream I'll have a look but10:40
Mirvmardy_: I guess you could know best which patch could affect the codepath in question - https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-kde/qt/qtbase.git/tree/debian/patches?h=ubuntu - anyway, testing xenial overlay again (if you didn't yet) could be worthwhile also.10:40
mardy_Mirv: what a luck! I found the commit that fixes it; it just landed yesterday, upstream: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/153945/10:40
mardy_Mirv: so, I'll add qtbase-opensource-src to the bug, and you can pull the latest 5.6 branch to fix it, OK?10:41
Mirvmardy_: ah, you took upstream's 5.6 branch latest?10:41
Mirvmardy_: right10:41
mardy_Mirv: yes10:41
Mirvmardy_: next I would have suggested trying out https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/landing-1920/ too, which is my current brewing qtbase landing10:41
mardy_Mirv: OK10:43

Mirvmardy: doh, fails to apply on top of 5.6.1, will need to tinker a bit10:47
mardyMirv: tried the PPA, the bug is still there unfortunately10:48
Mirvmardy: yeah, it's interesting how huge amount of patches we start to carry in 5.6 now too (although some will be gone once upgrading xenial overlay to 5.6.2)10:49
MirvQt is never ready :)10:49
MirvI just landed four patches more, this will be another six, we're in tens of patches already10:50
Mirvcorrection, another 8 at least depending on if something else is needed as prerequirement to this newest bug10:50

Yuji1Anyone ever thought about a Huawei P9 port?16:05
Yuji1Same GPU as Meizu Pro 6, processor is also ARM. Never ported any firmware before but I'm curious how difficult it might be considering Ubuntu Touch is already available for Meizu Pro 5 and it seems quite similar to Meizu Pro 6.16:07
Yuji1Not sure about radios though.16:09

mariogripogra_: do you know why /etc/environment differs on a running system and in the system partition?17:08
mariogriplike when i read with with ssh on a running system, it differs than what it is when i reboot to recovery and check there17:09
=== dandrader_ is now known as dandrader
ogra_mariogrip, nope, but there is a long standing bug that /etc/environment needs to be completely flushed ... there should be nothing else then PATH in it17:20
