| bumblehead | I've been using it for a few years and think it is really great | 00:07 |
| bumblehead | since OTA 11 its been stable for me on Nexus 4 | 00:07 |
| bumblehead | I would like it if I could intall it install it on one of the new samsung devices that explode when the battery charges... | 00:09 |

| crushing-kit | it is possible to install UT on nokia lumia 720? | 08:19 |
| davmor2 | crushing-kit: is that a windows phone | 08:20 |
| crushing-kit | ya | 08:20 |
| davmor2 | crushing-kit: currently ubuntu touch sits atop the android kernel so almost certainly not but there maybe others that can confirm that theory | 08:22 |

| MCMic | Since last update, keyboard layout are not consistent between keyboard indicator and keyboard settings | 10:48 |
| MCMic | The behaviour is really weird, if I click settings from the indicator, I have a list of layouts with one checked, if I click back, and then layout again I don’t see the same list | 10:49 |
| MCMic | I see other layouts which are checked | 10:49 |

| fw190d13 | I'm thinking how to block ads in browser and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ubuntu-touch/help/adblock-ubuntu-touch-t3152706 | 14:17 |
| fw190d13 | they recomend dumping a hosts file into /etc/ | 14:17 |
| fw190d13 | but there are already 3 hosts files | 14:17 |
| fw190d13 | hosts, hosts deny and hosts allow | 14:17 |
| k1l | well, that is how adblock works on android too. changing the hosts file | 14:17 |
| fw190d13 | ok | 14:17 |
| fw190d13 | so which should I change? | 14:17 |
| fw190d13 | hosts deny or hosts? | 14:19 |
| darkeye | hosts | 14:19 |
| k1l | hosts | 14:19 |
| fw190d13 | just paste the data from http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/ under the last line and I'm done? | 14:20 |

| MichalP | Hello, please I want ask you if is possible check in UT if there run any abnormal program or if UT sending any secret data? I am asking that I am using non-official image and I am affraid if it is not hacked or something like this | 17:24 |
| dobey | MichalP: not really no. you'd have to check your wifi router and such, to see if it's communicating anywhere unexpected | 17:32 |
| MichalP | :( bad news, so it is time to anybody create firewall to UT :) | 17:40 |
| mcphail | MichalP: or don't run an operating system you don't trust... | 17:42 |
| MichalP | This is best idea, but I have not choice, I can use untrusted Ut or android, no way. I choice wrong phone :( (MX4) | 17:44 |
| MichalP | Problem is that I like UT too much and I am run on it more then one year as primary phone, so I don't want leave from UT. But PRO5 is too expensive for me :( | 17:46 |
| dobey | MichalP: even if there were something in UT to do what you ask, if you're running a hacked version, it could easily be altered to give false results | 17:46 |
| dobey | MichalP: well if it works fine on your nexus 4, why can't you keep using that, updated from the trusted official channel? | 17:47 |
| MichalP | I already pass this phone to my daughter, she like Ut too, I have not heart take it back :( | 17:49 |
| MichalP | I really believe taht I can flash UT to MX4, but it was wrong idea | 17:50 |
| TheKit | MichalP, you can build image you can trust yourself then | 17:52 |
| TheKit | using scripts | 17:52 |
| MichalP | Which script? | 17:52 |
| MichalP | mean "launcher.sh" where you choice flash UT? | 17:52 |
| TheKit | https://yadi.sk/d/Xuvo0JXImWnQN | 17:53 |
| TheKit | dualboot_make_system_img.sh | 17:53 |
| TheKit | but I think you're being paranoid | 17:53 |
| TheKit | too much hassle to include something like this in image very few people are going to use | 17:54 |
| hamersaw | anybody have luck running an ubuntu phone on verizons network? i'm very interested in switching. | 17:54 |
| k1l | the OS is not limited to provider networks. its just a matter of the hardware and the used bandwiths | 17:56 |
| MichalP | I flashed files inside 20160913-OTA13 | 17:56 |
| hamersaw | k1l: thanks, don't know much about it all. phase 1 then, find a bitching unlocked phone that works on verizon and can flash ubuntu. | 17:57 |
| MichalP | But I used image one week, and yesturday comes to my email russian email that I am in their forum etc, but I never login to russian forum or server, bcs I don't know Cyrillic and images are made by russian | 17:58 |
| MichalP | That is why I start be paranoid | 17:58 |
| dobey | hamersaw: only GSM works. CDMA does not | 17:58 |
| MichalP | Any way, return to script. If I will launch script it will download original image from UT? | 17:59 |
| MichalP | and flash? | 18:00 |
| dobey | hamersaw: so if you can get a GSM SIM card from verizon that works on their network, you can get a nexus 4 and flash ubuntu onto it for example | 18:00 |
| TheKit | MichalP, it's just going to build system.img | 18:05 |
| TheKit | no other magic | 18:05 |
| TheKit | *magick | 18:05 |
| TheKit | as for email, that could be random spam | 18:05 |
| TheKit | or someone specified your email by mistake | 18:05 |
| MichalP | So If I will use script, it will make sysmte.img from official source, swich I can replace in mx4_install_ubuntu_ota13-dualboot-20160913.zip and the should be ok? | 18:08 |
| === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader | ||
| MichalP | BTW do you know what id SWAP.img? I can't open it | 18:09 |
| MichalP | say me wrong FS | 18:09 |
| MichalP | it is something like swap partition? | 18:10 |
| hamersaw | dobey: thanks, doesn't look like it's overly difficult to get Verizon to do that. | 18:13 |
| dobey | hamersaw: or just save yourself some money and switch to t-mobile :) | 18:14 |
| hamersaw | dobey: i just took a look at their plans, the thing is i'm part of a family plan. so it isn't cheaper to switch myself over now. | 18:14 |
| fw190d13 | I have tried to copy my hosts files with sudo cp /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.orig and got that system is read only | 18:22 |
| fw190d13 | what to do now? | 18:22 |
| fw190d13 | I don't want to mes the phone up as it is my daily driver | 18:22 |
| dobey | fw190d13: right, the root sysem is read-only. if you want to create a back-up, copy it somewhere writable, like ~/backup/ or something | 18:27 |
| fw190d13 | dobey: can I copy w prepared on laptop hosts file to that location and replace the original one with this command? | 18:28 |
| dobey | i don't recall if the hosts file itself is writable or not, but that's easy enough to test | 18:29 |
| dobey | just try to add a comment to the existing file and see what happens | 18:29 |
| fw190d13 | no native speaker here - what does "add a comment" mean? | 18:30 |
| dobey | lines that start with # in /etc/hosts are comments | 18:32 |
| dobey | or you can just try adding a blank line, if that's more understandable | 18:33 |
| fw190d13 | roger that - is there a editor like leafpad on Ubuntu Touch? | 18:34 |
| fw190d13 | or can I just do: sudo cp /home/phablet/documents/hosts /etc/hosts ? | 18:35 |
| fw190d13 | and it will ask if I want to replace that file? | 18:35 |
| aiyion | the editor you may use is nano and commandline based. | 18:36 |
| aiyion | i suppose you modify the file on your own instead of replacing it. | 18:36 |
| MichalP | TheKit: You silent, are you there or just I have stupid questions? I understand that I am amateur and I waste your time. I just don't know If I can wait for any answer or leave and try script and some wizard :) | 18:37 |
| TheKit | you didn't mention me, so I forgot to look here, sorry | 18:37 |
| TheKit | <MichalP> So If I will use script, it will make sysmte.img from official source, swich I can replace in mx4_install_ubuntu_ota13-dualboot-20160913.zip and the should be ok? - yes | 18:38 |
| MichalP | I see, I every time forgot add name, sorry | 18:38 |
| TheKit | <MichalP> it is something like swap partition? - yes | 18:38 |
| fw190d13 | aiyion: nano is evil, comand line is evil ;) | 18:38 |
| MichalP | TheKit: so when I use script, then make system.img, so then I will replace system.img in zip? | 18:39 |
| MichalP | TheKit: mx4_install_ubuntu_ota13-dualboot-20160913.zip | 18:39 |
| dobey | fw190d13: vi is installed by default, you can use it from terminal app | 18:39 |
| TheKit | I didn't try it myself, since I don't have MX4, but it should work this way | 18:41 |
| fw190d13 | dobey: OK I will try vi but how to use arrows in terminal? the keyboard has no arrows | 18:43 |
| dobey | fw190d13: one of the command toolbar things has arrows, iirc | 18:45 |
| MichalP | TheKit:Ok, I will try this way. Many thanks for your time and care about me. Really many thanks. | 18:45 |
| TheKit | too early to say thanks, but no problem :) | 18:45 |
| aiyion | fw190d13: prefer vim over all, but was not ready for a flame war :D | 18:46 |
| fw190d13 | aiyion: again me nt beeing a native speaker s the reason of confusion - I can do from terimnal apt-get update and that would be it vi / nano/ whatever is black magick - reading about it right now | 18:47 |
| aiyion | whatever you do, make a backup and be safe :P | 18:49 |
| fw190d13 | or be ready to reflash... yet agian ;) | 18:49 |
| fw190d13 | again | 18:50 |
| dobey | fw190d13: you really should not be doing apt-get update/etc in the terminal (and you can't with read-only root fs anyway) | 18:51 |
| fw190d13 | dobey: I meant that I can do it and do on my laptop and that is the whole knowledge of my terminal ;) | 18:51 |
| aiyion | don't get it, why would you update anything? | 18:51 |
| aiyion | enable write mode, change file, rmeount in readonly , be fine. | 18:52 |
| fw190d13 | ok gents - this is to much for me - can I somehow plug in the cable do it form my laptop and paste that file to the right place? | 18:53 |
| aiyion | think so. yes. | 18:53 |
| aiyion | read about adb | 18:54 |
| fw190d13 | ok | 18:54 |
| fw190d13 | will do | 18:54 |
| fw190d13 | is there sens to fill a bug/request about it? I mean rodinary users like me can't realy use the browser as those nasty adds pop up everywhere - maybe this could be fixed someow by an addon? | 18:57 |
| dobey | fw190d13: use the phablet-shell tool from phablet-tools | 18:58 |
| dobey | there is probably a bug about there being no ad blocker for the browser, but i am not 100% sure on that | 18:59 |
| popey | almost certainly | 18:59 |

| cliftonts | Hi guys, I'm having real issues with my phone tonight on OTA13, it is essentially unusable. Has anyone reported having no access to networking at all? | 19:12 |
| dobey | g+ is like literally a big blob of javascript and json | 19:12 |
| davmor2 | cliftonts: not that I am aware of and it is working fine here | 19:13 |
| fw190d13 | dobey: you are right but those damn things are hard to close even on desktop without adblocking... | 19:14 |
| cliftonts | Mid afternoon I was replying to texts and suddenly every key press the keyboard vanishes | 19:14 |
| davmor2 | cliftonts: nope no issues like that either | 19:15 |
| fw190d13 | popey: well I'm lobbying for a better experience of novice Ubuntu Touch users right now | 19:15 |
| cliftonts | Sometimes the keypress triggers a backspace first, making it impossible to complete a sentence and eventually it did a mini reboot showing the splash screen and then returning me to where I was | 19:15 |
| fw190d13 | popey: that is why adblokig is highly needed | 19:15 |
| cliftonts | The dialer now half the time shows no details and won't let me put the phone down and after rebooting I have no networking at all. | 19:16 |
| cliftonts | I have manually connected to my wifi using cli but updates refuses to accept I have a connection. | 19:16 |
| cliftonts | The networking indicator is now displayed as indicator-network in the list and is empty. | 19:16 |
| davmor2 | cliftonts: what phone is this it sound like the system is completely borked | 19:17 |
| dobey | that sounds like indicator-network failed to start | 19:17 |
| cliftonts | E4.5, it was working perfectly up until 4pm today | 19:17 |
| cliftonts | I have rebooted dobey but it doesn't change. | 19:17 |
| dobey | cliftonts: is the storage full? | 19:18 |
| cliftonts | Is there any way to manually punt the indicator-network online or is there any way to do updates via cli? | 19:18 |
| cliftonts | Storage 1.6gb free apparently | 19:18 |
| cliftonts | What the hell is 8coupons and why is it installed?? | 19:19 |
| davmor2 | cliftonts: it is an online scope that show vouchers available for stuff | 19:23 |
| cliftonts | Probably, but I digress. I really need to figure out what has fallen flat and how to put it back upright again. | 19:23 |
| dobey | cliftonts: "start indicator-network" in temrinal should start it | 19:25 |
| cliftonts | I wonder why it isn't starting on its own | 19:25 |
| dobey | don't know. should be a log about that somewhere in ~/.cache/upstart/ i think | 19:25 |
| dobey | forget which file it's actually in though | 19:25 |
| cliftonts | I'll have a poke around | 19:26 |
| cliftonts | I have attempted to ssh into my phone using the sdk but it says 'unable to find a shell' | 19:28 |
| popey | fw190d13: I get it | 19:28 |
| cliftonts | dobey - job is already running: incicator-network | 19:30 |
| fw190d13 | popey: does that mean that you are just right at this very moment texting Mark to speed things up ;)))))))))))))) | 19:30 |
| popey | no :) | 19:31 |
| dobey | cliftonts: try "restart indicator-network" then | 19:32 |
| cliftonts | no change. I have found a website detailing the networking, it lists multiple programs involved in the process so it may be that the indicator is working but something else is dead | 19:33 |
| cliftonts | http://paste.ubuntu.com/23252595 | 19:37 |
| fw190d13 | ok jokes aside - I have managed to connect the phone with adb, I'm in the phones command line, opened the hosts file with vi for testing | 19:50 |

| dobey | fw190d13: you can mount the partition rw to make a change, and then change it back, but updates may (will) overwrite any changes in the RO fs at some point | 20:02 |
| fw190d13 | dobey: as I understand the next OTA will be a few months form now? so maybe it is worth to tinker it? | 20:03 |
| dobey | i don't know when updates will be released. i don't schedule them. :) | 20:04 |
| cliftonts | So does anybody know how to run the updates check from command line? | 20:05 |
| dobey | cliftonts: for system update, or for apps? | 20:06 |
| dobey | cliftonts: for system updates, system-image-cli is the tool; for app updates, there's no way to check for or install updates from CLI | 20:07 |
| cliftonts | I'm thinking one way to address my issue would be to let the updates overwrite whatever if wrong but the updates system is refusing to accept I have a connection. | 20:07 |
| cliftonts | Well I'm screwed. I have no idea how to restore my phone to working condition. I can't update, ssh in, or anything | 20:08 |
| fw190d13 | dobey: I did: sudo touch /userdata/.writable_image then rebooted and the file is still read only in vi | 20:08 |

| ubot5 | cliftonts: You can find the full list of devices, official images, community images, and works in progress at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices | 20:10 |
| cliftonts | Presumably I will lose my installed apps but my pictures, videos etc will be unaffected? | 20:11 |
| dobey | cliftonts: something like ubuntu-device-flash touch --channel ubuntu-touch/stable/bq-aquaris.en --recovery-image krillin-recovery.img | 20:11 |
| dobey | cliftonts: no, installed apps also unaffected, unless you --wipe or try to flash from fastboot with --bootstrap | 20:11 |
| cliftonts | Ok, going for it | 20:12 |
| cliftonts | Hope you're right! lol | 20:12 |
| dobey | unless by "installed apps" you mean you changed / to rw and installed stuff with apt. that will indeed be overwritten | 20:13 |
| dobey | and if you did do that, it might explain the problems you're having | 20:13 |
| cliftonts | Oh no, the phone is as standard | 20:14 |
| cliftonts | Excellent. Now my phone is totally stuffed | 20:15 |

| cliftonts | It just keeps failing with error pushing. | 20:20 |
| cliftonts | Looks like I may have an iffy usb port on the laptop | 20:23 |
| dobey | possible | 20:23 |
| cliftonts | Failed to enter recovery. What now? | 20:31 |
| cliftonts | It is sat with the splash screen and the progress bar about 95% done | 20:31 |
| cliftonts | dobey, it isn't entering recovery mode. Are there any other options. | 20:36 |
| fw190d13 | thank you all for you patience and help - I will better wait for some system update which solves this somehow | 20:40 |
| dobey | cliftonts: did you grab the recovery image from the wiki and pass it as the recovery image to ubuntu-device-flash? | 20:45 |
| cliftonts | I used the command you gave me | 20:46 |
| cliftonts | What wiki | 20:46 |
| dobey | the one i pointed you at | 20:46 |
| dobey | !devices | cliftonts | 20:46 |
| ubot5 | cliftonts: You can find the full list of devices, official images, community images, and works in progress at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices | 20:46 |
| dobey | there is a reocvery image you have to use when flashing the device. you need to grab the one listed for krillin | 20:47 |
| dobey | i'm surprised the command i gave you got that far, if you didn't have the recovery img | 20:47 |
| cliftonts | I have adjusted it slightly and I'm trying again | 20:48 |
| cliftonts | you say I have to grab the image, what am I supposed to do with it? Store it in the directory I'm running the command from? | 20:50 |
| dobey | yes, download it, and pass the path to the --recovery-image arg | 20:50 |
| cliftonts | ok, I'm working on it. Haven't done this for quite some time. I'm a bit rusty! | 20:52 |
| cliftonts | The link on that wiki is for source code. Is that what I want? I thought I needed an image file | 20:59 |
| dobey | cliftonts: no | 21:09 |
| cliftonts | dobey, nope I just can't get it to boot into recovery | 21:09 |
| dobey | cliftonts: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices#Working_with_ubuntu-device-flash | 21:09 |
| cliftonts | I downloaded the image file and I am referencing it in the command but it just failed again | 21:09 |
| dobey | cliftonts: in the table in that section | 21:09 |
| dobey | hmm, ok. i don't know what could cause that then :-/ | 21:10 |

| cliftonts | I used this command: ubuntu-device-flash touch --channel ubuntu-touch/stable/bq-aquaris.en --recovery-image recovery-krillin.img | 21:11 |
| cliftonts | with the recovery-krillin.img file in the directory | 21:11 |
| dobey | ok, that should work i would think | 21:12 |
| cliftonts | Well it's not. I am wondering if some sort of file system corruption could be at work here | 21:13 |
| dobey | it's not impossible | 21:15 |
| dobey | unfortunately i can't really provide any more help for you, and i can't poke at your phone myself of course, since you're not here and i'm not there. :-/ | 21:16 |
| cliftonts | Yes, the eternal problem. I'm really not sure what the next step is. I can't afford to be replacing it just yet and with the shortage of Ubuntu devices I'm not going back to android! | 21:21 |
| dobey | well to start, i'd say back up all your data off the device :) | 21:26 |
| cliftonts | I could always use the reset options within the settings app I suppose, or is that purely for wiping out user data and settings? | 21:27 |
| dobey | i don't recall what it does exactly | 21:28 |
| cliftonts | Worth a try | 21:28 |
| dobey | it may delete your data and installed apps, not sure | 21:28 |
| cliftonts | It's back working again but the touchscreen is unusable | 21:35 |
| cliftonts | Typing J was bringing up A, it just types gibberish. Though using a stylus it works ok | 21:36 |
