sebsebsebhowever06:45
sebsebsebhowever :)06:45

sebsebsebawesome :)06:45
sebsebsebcc: which device you on ?06:45
sebsebsebcc: and which ota you on now ?06:46

sebsebseband that was copy and paste above06:47

sebsebsebcc: with your govemrenett spying on you :d06:54
ccjust a little like whatsapp06:55
sebsebsebyeah but achineese one, so they can spy on you more easilly :d06:55
sebsebsebcc: it's all about market share etc06:55
cc:(06:55
sebsebsebcc: I guess even for that06:55
sebsebsebapps generall are not made for Ubuntu touch or any alternatie  mobile OS to Iphone/ios and Android06:55
sebsebsebunless there is enough of a demand a market06:56
sebsebsebcc: even Wndows Phone  lacks lots of apps06:56
sebsebsebeven with Microsoft's money etc06:56
sebsebsebBlackberry had a load of problems to, so now going to do Android, and given up on their own OS it seems06:56
cchmm06:56
ccso i use iphone more time06:56
sebsebsebcc: there isn't much of a mrakte for Ubuntu touchcurrently for big known apps, because it's mostly still aimed at developers and entuthsisats06:57
sebsebsebcc: also  there's no Androd apps compatability layour, such as there is with the Jolla phone from former Nokia developers, and Samsungs Tizen06:57
cci think less chinese developers06:57
ccso little chinese application06:57
sebsebsebcc: you could buy a different interesting LINUX based phone possibly, yes a Jolla phone, or maybe get a Tizen from india06:57
sebsebsebcc: those can actsaully run Android apps, since they have a compatabilty layour06:58
ccmaybe you're right06:58
ccbut i like meizu06:58
sebsebsebcc: if you aren't happy with your pro 5, and don't really want  to follow the progress of Ubuntu Touch, where things are going, and oh that's interesting, since in every update after every six weeks or so,  there are new features etc, bug fixes etc06:58
sebsebsebat times it's not that noticabble at other times it is noticable06:58
sebsebsebyou really see ewhat's changed, what's new06:58
fw190d13morning06:59
sebsebsebcc: but if you aren't happy enough with  the pro 5, you could sell it06:59
sebsebsebit would be woth something06:59
sebsebsebthere's a market for Ubuntu pro 5's a global one of some sort06:59
sebsebsebespically since out of stock from the manufacter06:59

sebsebsebcc: ideally not an Iphone :d h eh heh06:59
sebsebsebcc: for wechat for now and things like that07:00
sebsebsebthen use Ubuntu touch your pro 5, where you can :) or sell it for some extra money07:00

sebsebsebcc: and becaues of the apps situation it's not ready for the main streame the general public really07:06
sebsebsebhowever as an OS, it's rather intersting07:06

alci63Hi. I have a problem with system-settings crashing on my Aquaris E4.5. https://askubuntu.com/questions/827747/system-settings-wont-start-on-aquaris-e4-5 Any idea ?11:49
jgdxalci63, you can't launch system settings like that on the phone. What is in ~/.cache/upstart/application-legacy-ubuntu-system-settings-.log ?11:51
mardyjgdx: hi! Is there any documentation for the process of snappyfying unity8? Are you following some checklist, or how do you know what needs to be changed?12:01
mardyjgdx: (I'm asking because I have to do the same for online accounts)12:01
jgdxmardy, hey, my approach has been to create a snap of system settings that runs confined. That takes care of the lower level stuff like paths and interfaces.12:06
jgdxmardy, as for having USS running in unity8: the snappyfying u8 work had some issues, so I think we're making apps run on a normal u8 session.12:07
MirvoSoMoN: if I'll do an MP to add user-agent exception, is there a possibility to have the real Oxide's Chromium version number embedded in that exception? if not, can I file a feature wish bug for that? that'd be useful since otherwise of course strings get updated and anyway don't reflect the engine version in use.12:17
alci63jgdx, there are a lot of QIODevice::read: Called with MaxSize < 0 , and a few warnings about deprecated Page.title and Page.flickable12:32
jgdxalci63, could I have a look, please?12:34
oSoMoNMirv, yes, see https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/webbrowser-app/trunk/view/head:/src/Ubuntu/Web/ua-overrides-mobile.js.in12:41
oSoMoNMirv, the @UBUNTU_VERSION@ and @CHROMIUM_VERSION@ tokens are replaced by the corresponding versions12:42
oSoMoNMirv, it’s currently done at build time, but with https://code.launchpad.net/~osomon/webbrowser-app/fix-chromiumVersion-1599695/+merge/303852 the chromium version number will be replaced at runtime12:42
alci63jdgx, here is an extract of tje log http://pastebin.com/BEkCaQTN12:44
jgdxmardy, your comment doesn't make sense to me: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/23215677/ That path is never relative to the manifest of the .settings, it's the absolute path to where the manifests were installed.12:45
jgdxwe could change it to be relative to where the manifest file was _found_, but that's not happening right now12:45
mardyjgdx: yes, sorry, I didn't explain myself properly: what I mean is that we should remember what was the xdg directory were we found the manifest12:49
jgdxalci63, is the system changed in any way? Was it made writable? If so, what else did you do to it? :)12:49
mardyjgdx: then we'll look for the plugin on the path based on the same xdg directory12:49
mardyjgdx: for example, if the plugin was found somewhere under /usr/local/, the plugin should also be searched in there12:50
jgdxmardy, thanks, it's what I figured, but it took a while.12:50
mardyjgdx: I'm not proposing to change any paths12:50
alci63jdgx, no I didn't change anything and the code system is not read/write.12:55
alci63co_r_e system12:55
alci63Sorry, I must leave... bye13:02

MirvoSoMoN: ok, sounds great!13:23
MirvoSoMoN: darn, even with full Chrome string I can't get to other than unsupported page. seems correctly typed since I can see the correct user-agent if I copy paste that for whatismyuseragent.net - either I'm doing something not completely correct with the string or they are using some advanced browser detection mechanisms13:36
Mirv(full Chrome Mobile string)13:37
MirvI got a reply from my bank that they offically won't support a browser that has <1% market share, and that includes anything with Chromium too13:39
Mirv(instead of Chrome)13:39
oSoMoNMirv, check network traffic with e.g. wireshark, you might need to add more than one UA override as they might be doing requests to various domains13:45

matv1hi can anyone confirm webapps crashing after following an external link that opens in the webapp oxide container, and then returning to the webapp itself21:34
matv1webapp crashes a lot upon returning21:35
matv1I cant believe that there is no bug for that. It happens to me on both phone and tablet very often21:36
matv1I am assuming that I would expect that to be filed against webapps-core. Is that correct?21:39

Guest82827is ubuntu touch coming to the nexus 6p if no why?22:06
popeybecause someone needs to do the porting work22:07
Guest82827popey, so there isn't any reason why it shouldn't work though right?22:08
popeythat's impossible to say withought someone looking into it22:09
popeyi doubt anyone has looked at the 6p22:09
Guest82827popey, is ubuntu touch still built around android 4.422:11
popeyThere's work ongoing to move to a newer version22:13
Guest82827ok22:13
k1l_there were issue with binary blobs on the nexus 6 (not 6p). so that there is no port.22:14
Guest82827so that is the reason devlopment isnt happening bc 4.4 is not avalible on 6p22:14
popeythe 6p isn't a target right now22:15
k1l_Guest82827: maybe ubports.com knows some details. or someone on xda22:16
k1l_https://forums.ubports.com/topic/25/flashing-ubuntu-touch-on-nexus-6p/6  that sounds like the older android base is an issue, yes22:17
Guest82827i guess i'll have to wait22:25
