[00:17] <Hakarin> how do I check if the Meizu Pro 5 will work on my network?
[00:22] <Hakarin> Hakarin, nevermind found a website that checks
[09:47] <biotechy2k> Hi guys a complete N00B here just teaching myself Linux
[09:49] <biotechy2k> question has anyone managed to load Ubuntu touch on a Nexus 7 Tablet
[10:00] <popey> biotechy2k: on the nexus 7 2013, yes, not the nexus 7 2012
[10:16] <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...
[10:17] <Mister_Q> biotechy2k you can try https://github.com/MariusQuabeck/magic-device-tool
[10:22] <biotechy2k> Thank you for that Mister_Q I've saved to favorites
[10:23] <biotechy2k> Any peeps from Australia here
[10:23] <Mister_Q> :)
[10:24] <biotechy2k> Managed to Unlock the Nexus no probs using the terminal and OEM unlock but got a few errors with the install I'm using 16.04
[10:27] <Mister_Q> are you using the tool?
[10:28] <Mister_Q> I used it for my n7 2013 (flo) yesterday to flash ubuntu on it and it worked :)
[10:28] <biotechy2k> not 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 RDO
[10:29] <biotechy2k> I think mins is a tilapia why did they name them after fish anyway LOL
[10:30] <biotechy2k> ended up with either flag errors or argument errors and not man command available
[10:30] <Mister_Q> if its tilapia then you shouldnt try to install ubuntu
[10:30] <Mister_Q> is it 32gb + 3g?
[10:30] <biotechy2k> and couldn't access my Linux command manual on my other tablet which died
[10:31] <Mister_Q> tilapia is the 2012 version and is not supported/there is no ubuntu port for that
[10:32] <biotechy2k> yes 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] <biotechy2k> ok thanks for that
[10:32] <Mister_Q> np
[10:33] <biotechy2k> I was getting all excited to have an Ubuntu tablet LOL oh well S**T happens
[10:33] <biotechy2k> got any suggestions to what other Linux OS I can put on it
[10:33] <Mirv> mardy_: 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 though
[10:34] <Mirv> oh, last comment
[10:34] <Mister_Q> ogra_ yeah that worked when we still used phablet-flash but not anymore
[10:34] <ogra_> ah
[10:36] <Mister_Q> ogra_ 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 slow
[10:36] <ogra_> oh, thats 2012
[10:36] <Mister_Q> yes
[10:36] <ogra_> no, that wont work anyway
[10:36] <ogra_> i thought it was a deb with bigger MMC
[10:36] <Mister_Q> flo worked on deb
[10:37] <ogra_> yeah, it does ... just no 3G then
[10:37] <Mister_Q> yes
[10:37] <biotechy2k> I 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 well
[10:38] <ogra_> yes, but your device is a tegra chipset, with the old tegra there were massive graphics driver issues
[10:39] <Mister_Q> biotechy2k you should try a custom android rom called slimrom. its the only one that is somehow usable
[10:39] <ogra_> which is why the 2012 model is not supported ... google changed to different hardware with the 2013 model
[10:40] <biotechy2k> I'll look into it but on chef's wages upgrading to current hardware is a dream I'll have a look but
[10:40] <Mirv> mardy_: 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/
[10:41] <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] <Mirv> mardy_: ah, you took upstream's 5.6 branch latest?
[10:41] <Mirv> mardy_: right
[10:41] <mardy_> Mirv: yes
[10:41] <Mirv> mardy_: 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 landing
[10:43] <mardy_> Mirv: OK
[10:47] <Mirv> mardy: doh, fails to apply on top of 5.6.1, will need to tinker a bit
[10:48] <mardy> Mirv: tried the PPA, the bug is still there unfortunately
[10:49] <Mirv> mardy: 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] <Mirv> Qt is never ready :)
[10:50] <Mirv> I just landed four patches more, this will be another six, we're in tens of patches already
[10:50] <Mirv> correction, another 8 at least depending on if something else is needed as prerequirement to this newest bug
[10:55] <biotechy2k> time to walk the staghound cheers all thanks for all the help peeps stay human
[10:55] <biotechy2k> qui
[10:55] <biotechy2k> quit
[10:59] <dhiraj> hi I have 14.04 ubuntu can I develop scope with current sdk ?
[14:34] <sergiusens> does anyone have a solution for keepassx on touch?
[14:53] <davmor2> sergiusens: https://uappexplorer.com/app/keepit.dannygb
[14:54] <davmor2> sergiusens: note I have no idea how well it works
[15:30] <seb128> kenvandine, is anything blocking that libphonenumber silo to land? (looking at the pending MIRs)
[15:30] <kenvandine> seb128, just waiting for QA
[15:30] <seb128> k
[15:30] <kenvandine> it's in the queue
[15:31] <kenvandine> seb128, i also have a silo that drops some stuff to suggests, like system-image-dbus that you requested
[15:31] <seb128> landit!
[15:39] <horuxan> good afterning
[15:40] <horuxan> one people help me to port ubuntu touch for moto g 2gn titan xt1069
[15:40] <horuxan> ?
[15:40] <horuxan> thanks ..
[16:04] <seb128> dobey, hey, can you comment on bug #1614203 / deal with the blocker issue?
[16:05] <Yuji1> Anyone ever thought about a Huawei P9 port?
[16:07] <Yuji1> Same 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.
[16:09] <Yuji1> Not sure about radios though.
[16:40] <dobey> seb128: it's one of the many high priority things on my list, yeah.
[16:44] <seb128> dobey, thanks
[17:08] <mariogrip> ogra_: do you know why /etc/environment differs on a running system and in the system partition?
[17:09] <mariogrip> like when i read with with ssh on a running system, it differs than what it is when i reboot to recovery and check there
[17:20] <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 it
[19:43] <mijk> is it possible to flash ubuntu touch onto a us b stick from Windows?
[20:02] <mijk> I want to test touch on a acer convertible laptop
[20:19] <dobey> mijk: an x86 laptop?
[20:19] <mijk> yes
[20:24] <dobey> mijk: then install ubuntu 16.04.1 on it, add ppa:ci-train-ppa-service/stable-phone-overlay, apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade, apt-get install unity8-desktop-session-mir, then reboot and select the Unity8 session at the login screen
[20:31] <mijk> k thanks
[22:09] <dobey> hmm, anyone know how to make mir/unity8 start up automatically on boot, without haivng unity7 installed?
