jibelpitti, bonjour07:16
jibelpitti, vicamo is porting touch on xenial from upstart to systemd07:17
vicamopitti: hi07:17
jibelpitti, there is a special version of systemd for vivid.07:17
jibelpitti, would you know what are the differences and if it should be applied to xenial07:17
jibelpitti, or if we should go with the version of systemd in the archive for xenial?07:18
NotKitwhat is the status of Ubuntu Touch on xenial?07:21
NotKitis it reasonable to try porting on aarch64 device?07:21
NotKit(mixed architecture won't work due to broken 32-bit hwcomposer lib)07:22
jibelNotKit, the bq m10 works fine, there are still some issues here and there but overall it's okay.07:23
pittibonjour jibel, ça va ?07:23
jibelNotKit, it's in this channel ubuntu-touch/staging/ubuntu/frieza_arm64/07:23
jibelpitti, ça va et toi?07:24
pittijibel: ça va bien aussi, merci ! je peux voir le soleil à nouveau après cinq jours :)07:24
pittijibel: WDYM with "special version" of systemd?07:24
jibelpitti, heh, welcome to Normandy ;)07:24
pittijibel: xenial proper's version should work fine07:24
vicamopitti: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ci-train-ppa-service/stable-phone-overlay/ubuntu/pool/main/s/systemd/07:25
jibelvicamo, ^ what is 'special' in vivid?07:25
vicamopitti: we got systemd_219-7ubuntu6vividtouch1_armhf.deb, so I'm wondering what's the difference between the one we have in normal vivid ports07:25
pittivicamo, jibel: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/210619060/systemd_219-7ubuntu3_219-7ubuntu6vividtouch1.diff.gz07:25
NotKitjibel, is it ok to use rootfs from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/xenial/daily-preinstalled/current/?07:25
pittiseems fine07:25
pittivicamo, jibel: it's just an upstream fix backport, so xenial should just work07:26
pittivicamo: back around the vivid timeframe, I fixed enough units on touch to get the most important bits (unity8, wifi, 3G, browser, phone calls, SMS, etc.) working in the emulator and on the Nexus 407:26
sil2100NotKit: hey! Work is ongoing, but well... it's still in development, so hard to say - depends on what level of stability you need07:26
NotKitat least for it to launch :)07:27
pittivicamo: not sure about current devices, I suppose they got more/different custom upstart jobs07:27
pittivicamo: I suggest to give it a first try by booting with init=/bin/systemd and checking how far you got07:27
vicamopitti: yes, it seems so, and the lxc container doesn't start up, either.07:27
pittivicamo: hmm, I fixed that in vivid, so something broke the unit again07:28
vicamopitti: I've booted into systemd and has adb shell available07:28
jibelNotKit, this rootfs should be okay07:28
pittivicamo: ah, good07:28
NotKitthank you07:28
pittivicamo: http://pad.ubuntu.com/systemd-porting-sprint has my notes from the initial conversion back then07:28
pittivicamo: but that mostly applied to even getting to that point07:28
pittivicamo: tvoss asked me about this yesterday, did you take this over from him now?07:29
vicamopitti: not yet07:29
pittivicamo: updating the container start unit to the changes in the upstart job shuold be trivial, so I suggest starting with that07:29
pittivicamo: most of the remaining conversion should be fairly straightforward, except for the android <-> upstart property bridge -- there is no equivalent on the systemd side for that yet07:30
pittivicamo: xnox started working on that ages ago, but he got interrupted, so this is the main thing that needs to be discussed/designed07:31
vicamopitti: the lxc-android-config.service is already available as it is, so the conversion should no longer be a problem07:31
vicamopitti: I bumpped into https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/162544707:32
ubot5`Ubuntu bug 1625447 in Canonical System Image "lxc-start failed to open /dev/null" [Undecided,New]07:32
pittivicamo: right, I added that around the vivid timeframe; I suppose it just got out of sync with changes to the upstart job?07:32
vicamopitti: hmmmm ... then I'd better check it again07:33
vicamopitti: oops, lxc-start argument -d/-F differs07:35
pittivicamo: nice and simple then? :-)07:37
pittivicamo: although that might actually have been on purpose07:38
pittiin general it's nicer to let processes run in the foreground and *not* fork with systemd (and also with upstart actually)07:38
pittimuch more useful logging that way07:38
vicamonot so lucky ...07:40

autraHi! When trying to build ubuntu-touch for mako, i have this error "arm-linux-androideabi-gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-fno-canonical-system-headers'" at the very beginning of the build. I'm on ubuntu 16.04.08:36
autrathe build continues after that, but later I have this error:08:37
autrasystem/core/include/cutils/jstring.h:32:35: error: unknown type name ‘char16_t’08:37
autra extern char * strndup16to8 (const char16_t* s, size_t n);08:37
autraso 1/ could it be related? 2/ if not, do I care about the first error?08:38
autraand of course, how can I solve this?08:38
autraI'm a bit confused about the second error, because char16_t seems to be defined in this file...08:39
autraI feel like something is wrong with my toolchain...08:45
autraanyone?09:09
autraok I got the first error resolved: I had the package arm-linux-androideabi-gcc installed, and it was taking precedence over the one in the prebuilts toolchain of my tree. What's funny is that the reported versions were the same (4.8)09:18
autrabut still it complains about unknown type name 'char16_t'09:19
* autra tries cleaning everything09:19

aquilesFacebook messenger and whatsapp ??14:12
faenil?14:13
dobeyask facebook for them?14:13
aquilesWhen we will have whatsapp and facebook for ubuntu touch?14:13
popeyaquiles: ask the developer of those apps14:13
aquiles*facebook messenger14:14
jgdxdevelopers14:14
aquilesI'm using Ubuntu phone a half a year and I cant use facebook messenger and whatsapp14:15
lotuspsychjeaquiles: more secure you dont :p14:15
faenilaquiles: unfortunately the way those platforms work like is: Facebook/WhatsApp gives you permission to access their unlimited APIs and develop and app. That has a cost for them as well, as they'll have to provide support for the users having problems with those apps, and their image will be affected by any problem the apps have. For that reason, they're very selective, and they won't consider any plat14:15
faenilform that is not a definite business gain for them14:16
faenilthe alternative is to have some kind of Android compatibility layer that lets you run Android apps on UbuntuTouch. That way you'd be able to use the WhatsApp and Facebook Android apps14:17
aquilesYes, compatibility layer14:18
faenilaquiles: you might want to file a bug about that (or subscribe to any existing one) and push to make that happen14:19
aquilesAny ideas if canonical already began built a compatible layer to use android apps?14:19
aquilesBecause android is linux and ubuntu is ubuntu14:22
aquilesI fill a bug latter14:23
aquilesUbuntu*linux14:23
dobeyno, a compatibility layer is not really feasible14:23
aquilesWhy not ?14:24
dobeythe security models are incompatible14:24
aquilesAnd porting android apps in a easy way?14:25
aquilesReact native...14:25
jgdxmardy, right, good point re: plugin.cpp asking for some engine's rootContext. Not sure that ever made sense14:27
aquilesI'm beginning to think to use android again, I don't have a reliable phone os14:28
brunch875I'd rather see XMPP and improvements to notifications / app lifecycle before an android compatibility layer, really14:30
faenildobey: I wouldn't jump to conclusions like that :)14:31
dobeyfaenil: i'm not "jumping" to any conclusions14:32

MichalpIf you have android version of mx4, it is easy way how to flash ubuntu touch to mx4, finally it was only one way how to flash18:24
MichalpI tried find different way but not find.18:25
MichalpSo any idea?18:26
dobeyMichalp: how exactly did you flash ubuntu onto the device?18:27
dobeyMichalp: you should boot to recovery with adb enabled, and then use ubuntu-device-flash from an ubuntu machine to flash it18:27
dobeyonce ubuntu is on the device, OTA updates are installed via system settings; you don't need to manually flash each OTA18:28
MichalpBut when I click to install, then system reboot and go to custom bootloader18:29

NotKitMichalp, if you used 4PDA way to install it on Android device, you can't update it regular way18:30

dobeyMichalp: why do you have TWRP (again, it is recovery, not bootloader)18:32
MichalpSorry for exchange recovery by boootloader, any way you know how to get ubuntu touch to android version?18:33
NotKitI think because his device is Android edition, not Ubuntu one18:33
NotKithttps://yadi.sk/d/Xuvo0JXImWnQN check dualboot_make_system_img.sh18:33
Michalpyes, I have android version18:33
mrclpIt is difficult to port to zenfone 2 laser ze550kl? Have someone tried?18:34
Michalpthis one I flash18:35
Michalpbut first time you need use twrp18:36
Michalpthe script can not function if you have android, it works after detect ubuntu18:38
dobeyoh it's not because it was originally an android device18:40
dobeyit's because you're trying to dual boot?18:40
MichalpI no need dual boot, it was bcs is only one way how to flash, nobody give me other way18:41
Michalphow to flash android lock version to ubuntu touch18:41
Michalpbcs you must unlock than flash18:41
dobeycan you adb to the phone over usb while at twrp?18:42
MichalpI don't know, I can try18:42
MichalpNo it doesn't find device18:49
dobeyhmm ok18:50
MichalpIf ota need update where reboot?18:55
MichalpOr I need wit to new image OTA13  from https://yadi.sk/d/Xuvo0JXImWnQN and then flash? :(18:57
dobeyno you should not download anything from an unofffical site18:58
dobeyyou need to reflash your phone properly. can you flash a different recovery image to the device?18:58
MichalpI just want ota 13 to my deveice, how I don't care18:59

MichalpI have not choice, original ubuntu touch mx4 can not get, I am working on UT more then one year with nexus 4 there all work official way, but with mx4 is different, there I have not choice how to flash UT by official way19:03
dobeyyou need the correct recovery image19:04
MichalpI am not sure if you are right, bcs I try flash original recovery of UT for MX4, but then I can not flash ubuntu by adb19:06
Michalpthis one I tried before19:06
Michalpit wrote me no space to install19:06
dobeyyou need to repartition the phone19:07
MichalpIf you know how to do, please let me know. Bcs I spend more then 3 days to find way how to install UT to MX4 and I got only one way (flash it by twrp)19:08
MichalpAnyway, reparptition phone looks very hard, isn't it?19:10
dobeyyou need a special tool for it. i'm trying to find better info to help you19:10
dobeyMichalp: http://forum.xda-developers.com/meizu-mx/general/meizu-mx4-how-to-flash-ubuntu-touch-t3210039 perhaps19:12
Michalpthis link I tried firstly, but no function19:14
MichalpSo this way I can not accept19:15
MichalpI try it with support from here, and no find function way. Tool don't find my device, I tried it in win and in ubuntu19:16
Michalpthat is why I find only flash dual boor image19:17
Michalpby twrp19:17
MichalpSo looks no any new idea, right?19:25
dobeyi don't know19:28
dobeythe old dual boot script stuff is old and not really supported19:28
dobeyand running ubuntu properly on the device really requires repartitioning19:29
NotKitdobey, I think, he doesn't use dual boot script, but actually boots it the same way as on ported device19:29
NotKitis repartitioning possible on MX4?19:30
dobeyNotKit: well it's clearly not the same way, because it doesn't work :)19:30
NotKitit does work19:30
dobeyNotKit: yes, at least on some of them19:30
NotKitfor OTA 1219:30
dobeywell it "works"19:30
NotKithe can't update to OTA 13 since there are not system.img built for it19:30
NotKit*no19:30
dobeythe partitions are still wrong, and OTAs won't work19:30
NotKitthat's true19:31
NotKitit should be possible to use that script though to rebuild system.img and replace it manually or through recovery19:31
MichalpSo you mean, I can try this script in my case?19:37
NotKitthat script should build system.img with latest OTA19:39
MichalpAnd script connect to net, where download latest image?19:40
NotKityes19:40
MichalpI see, I will try19:41
MichalpNotKit: will you here tomorrow? I must go out today, but tomorrow I will continue19:44

MichalpGreat, many thanks.  See you tomorrow. once again thanks19:46
