torusJKLjgdx: In the end I was able to upgrade to OTA-13 by flashing first the delta and afterwards the full OTA files.07:05
torusJKLHi everyone. I have an odd behavior with the Location.07:30
torusJKLI'm using a Pro5 64GB chinese version and have GPS with anonymised Wi-Fi activated.07:31
sebsebsebtorusJKL: right ok07:31
torusJKLThe problem is that uNav, Here and Google maps (unofficial) sometimes work well and sometimes do not update the locatin at all.07:31
torusJKLHow can I find out where the problem is?07:32
sebsebsebtorusJKL: I see your from England like me, and not China,  well that's partly all so the Chiense can't spy on you, since you got a chinese version07:32
sebsebsebactsaully what did you mean by that more seriously07:32
sebsebsebchinese version?07:32
sebsebsebYes Meizu is chinese, but you specifically put chinese07:32
sebsebsebversion07:32
torusJKLI mean the Meizu Pro5 with $GB Ram and 64GB storage is not the international version.07:33
sebsebsebthat probably won't matter much07:33
torusJKLIt an only be bought as a chinese version.07:33
sebsebsebsince  it should just detect location I guess via gps and wifi07:33
torusJKLI'm just mentioning it.07:33
torusJKLBecause it is not the official Pro5 version.07:33
sebsebsebthe Androdi version?07:34
sebsebsebwas it the Android version?07:34
torusJKLYes. Was Android. Not anymore.07:34
sebsebsebthat you put ubuntu on yourself07:34
sebsebseboh right ok07:34
sebsebsebhmm07:34
sebsebsebright well07:34
sebsebsebtorusJKL: are you  also using ubuntu touch in well developer mode I guess07:34
sebsebsebI think I read some wehre that if putting it on the bq devices anyway oneself, sure it's ubuntu touch, but in developer  mode have to run it, and actsaully I think I read that can then have an issue with the here maps etc07:35
sebsebsebfor some reason07:35
sebsebsebthe gps  thing the maps the yeah07:35
sebsebsebI guess that could also apply to a Android pro 5 that put ubuntu on oneself then07:35
sebsebsebtorusJKL: pretty sure I read some wehre that on bq anyway if what I put above, it mostly works, but can have a problem with hear maps07:36
torusJKLIn my case the problem is also with uNav and Google maps.07:36
sebsebsebtorusJKL: yeah it's probably to do with having the andorid version and putting ubuntu on it yourself, and something to do with that07:37
torusJKLIs there a way to know if GPS is working?07:37
sebsebsebtorusJKL: if popey  was around for example though, I expect he could confirm if that's the case or not, with an offical ubuntu pro 5 edition07:37
sebsebsebtorusJKL: I don't think many people here actually have the pro 5, but I know for a fact that popey does07:38
torusJKLsebsebseb: Thanks, maybe popey is coming online later. If you find where it is written please let me know.07:42
sebsebsebtorusJKL: popey is usaully quite active in ubuntu channels07:44
sebsebsebtorusJKL: plus he works for Canonical for quite a while now as well so07:44
sebsebsebtorusJKL: however  it's not 9am yet, but soon, he may not be at work yet etc07:44
torusJKLsebsebseb: This looks very similar to my problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/location-service/+bug/146802007:54
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1468020 in location-service (Ubuntu) "Two GPS compatible apps conflict and loose GPS" [High,Expired]07:54
popeytorusJKL: morning, wassup?07:56
torusJKLGood morning popey.07:56
torusJKLTrying to find out why my GPS does not work from time to time.07:56
sebsebsebon a pro 5, that had Android on it first07:56
torusJKLYesterday I was driving with uNav and it worked well for a few minutes and then did not update anymore.07:58
torusJKLThis was not the first time it happened.07:58
torusJKLAnd in such a case no other maps app will work anymore. Here, Google maps...07:58
popeyDoes it work if you power off the device (not reboot, but power off) for a while then power on?07:59
torusJKLI would need to try it.07:59
torusJKLIs there anything else I can do to de-bug it?08:02
torusJKLI saw in the above mentioned bug report something about gdb.08:02
popeyNot my specialist subject, but I'd look for whatever goes on other gps related bugs08:04
torusJKLDo you experience GPS problems on your Pro5?08:06
popeytorusJKL: I don't use it often enough to know08:12
jgdxtorusJKL, glad to hear it08:14
jgdxtorusJKL, I use it often and it's quite fast. Usually i'm connected to a wifi though08:15
popeyYeah, that also, I am rarely away from wifi (except today ironically)08:17
jgdxare you hiking popey08:17
popeyhehe, no, in the london office :)08:18
jgdx:)08:20
davmor2torusJKL: currently gps isn't able to use cell towers for positioning so the agps works off of wifi and last known position, if you turn off wifi then you are left with gps only.  That can take up to 15 minutes to get a fix from a cold start08:20
sebsebsebpopey: oh whilst your there, I guess find out why I haen't been conntacted properly about that loco pack then ?08:21
popeyi will ask08:21
sebsebsebpopey: did I even put an address in the form, I don't remember08:21
torusJKLdavmor2: this could be the problem. I started GPS with Wifi and did not have any Wifi connection anymore once it stopped working.08:21
davmor2torusJKL: once it has a gps fix it should stay connected and track as expected08:23
torusJKLBut does GPS still needs 15 minutes even if the initial position was with Wifi assitance?08:23
sebsebsebpopey: ok thanks08:23
davmor2torusJKL: no with wifi assistance you should get a satellite fix in 5-30 seconds08:25
duflusebsebseb: New name?08:28
davmor2duflu: no just on pc over tablet at a guess08:31
torusJKLdavmor2: than this was not the problem. I had Wifi at the beginning and GPS was working for a few minutes.08:32
KrisJacethere is no mor /userdata/system.img on my Ubuntu Phone, what happened to it?09:33
tvosstorusJKL: do you have wifi explicitly disabled?10:12
torusJKLtvoss: no, wifi is always on.10:13
tvosstorusJKL: okay, what device are you using? also: could you try to reboot the device, please?10:14
torusJKLtvoss: I'm using a Pro5. 64GB version.10:15
torusJKLCurrently GPS works because I'm at home.10:15
tvosshmmm, that's interesting10:15
tvosstorusJKL: where does it fail to work?10:15
torusJKLI can't say for certain. Never at home. It looked random till now. Most of the time after a few minutes.10:23

ra_phaelhi, I got a ota-13 on a nexus 4, and life battery that was quite bad before had become disastrous (half a day vs 1 day and half a week before), is it a know problem ? thanks14:45
pmcgowanra_phael, there are some isolated reports, I would suggest opening a bug and attaching your syslog so we can check the suspend rates14:54

matv1dobey I updated the empty clickstore bug for the BQ M10 that we discussed yesterday. I uploaded some logs.15:07
matv1https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-scope-click/+bug/161074015:07
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1610740 in unity-scope-click (Ubuntu) "Ubuntu Store doesn't provide content on M10 tablet" [Medium,Incomplete]15:07
matv1dobey Maybe I should be bothering someone else instead but no one is assigned to the bug yet :)15:09
dobeymatv1: can you try something else real quick?15:09
matv1dobey sure15:09
dobeymatv1: open the terminal app and inside it run: U1_DEBUG=1 /usr/lib/*/unity-scopes/scoperunner "" /usr/lib/*/unity-scopes/clickstore/com.canonical.scopes.clickstore.ini15:10
dobeymatv1: and then immediately refresh the store scope15:11
dobeymatv1: it should print some more debugging info which might help15:11
dobeymatv1: check the console output for "search, force_cache="15:12
matv1dobey sure gimme a minute or two15:13
matv1dobey that worked. after the command it returned all the apps in the store in the terminal and the clickstore scope refreshed itself immedeately15:19
matv1what just happened?15:19
matv1some kind of corrupt cache?15:20
ra_phaelpmcgowan: ok thanks15:21
dobeymatv1: no, i'm guessing it would have worked even if i didn't ask you to do that, just now. are you on a different network connection than previously?15:22
matv1the line you wanted is there. its says search, force_cache = false , conn status= 115:22
matv1dobey yes i did change networks since I first saw this happen15:23
dobeyright, i was expecting it to be true, based on your prevous logs, which suggested that connectivity api might have been saying there is no network15:23
dobeymatv1: ok, i think it might be some weird network config issue on certain networks :-/15:24
matv1dobey ah. so clickstore itself was never to blaim?15:24
dobeymatv1: well, beyond the general "scope UX is not nice when there's no network or no results" issue, it doesn't seem so15:25
matv1dobey so now what?15:26
matv1just leave the bug for now and see how often this occurs?15:26
dobeymatv1: well seems the store is working ok for you. if you end up with the blank scope again, try the U1_DEBUG=1 command in terminal and add that log to the bug, from the network where it's failing15:27
matv1dobey ok thanks for your help!15:28

=== dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk
oftc_ftwHi everyone! I have a virtual machine (virtualbox) with current Ubuntu LTS and the Ubuntu SDK installed. IIRC there is/was an issue preventing the Ubuntu Phone emulator from running in a virtual machine. Is that correct? Is there anything I can do besides running Ubuntu SDK in a non-virtual environment?15:53
oftc_ftwRight now I only see a virtual black screen and the booting icon in the SDK is spinning forever.15:53
oftc_ftwwell, after ages of booting it says "ready to use" but still only shows a black screen (i.e., black phone display).16:03
=== dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader
=== dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk
dobeyoftc_ftw: why exactly are you running it in vbox?16:47
oftc_ftwdobey: because i don't run Ubuntu on my host and it seems to be the simplest way to install/run the sdk16:47
oftc_ftwmy host is Arch Linux and the SDK is maintained only in a Ubuntu PPA apparently.16:48
ogra_there is work going on to deliver the SDK as a snap package16:48
ogra_that should solve it ;)16:49
ogra_(not sure where that stands though)16:49
dobeyoftc_ftw: you might be able to run the emulator on the host instead; or under qemu/kvm to get better results16:49
oftc_ftwok, so what you're suggesting is that there is indeed a problem when running the emulator in a virtual machine?16:50
oftc_ftwogra_: sounds nice, never heard of snap before. seems to be like docker without the awful lot of work to get it running. :)16:51
ogra_yeah, there is an implementation for Arch somewhere in the arch repos16:52
ogra_but i dont know if the SDK team has the snap actually ready yet16:52
oftc_ftwogra_: is there any website where i can see the progress of the snap "port"?16:55
oftc_ftwogra_: i just found this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-sdk-ide/+bug/159809516:58
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1598095 in Ubuntu SDK IDE "Create snap package for Ubuntu SDK with emulator" [Medium,In progress]16:58
ogra_oftc_ftw, nope, sorry ... it has been a while since i heard about it ... perhaps ask in #ubuntu-appp-devel where the SDK guys hang out16:58
ogra_err16:58
ogra_#ubuntu-app-devel16:59
oftc_ftwthanks ogra_ :)16:59
ogra_ah, zbenjamin is on it it seems16:59
zbenjaminogra_: bzoltan looked into it17:06
zbenjaminogra_: i think the main issue was to get to the LXD socket17:06
zbenjaminogra_: there is no policy for lxd clients yet17:06
ogra_ah, that should be fixed soon, stgraber is actively working on the lxd snap17:06
ogra_should land the next days17:07
ogra_there was the lxd interface missing, that is there now17:07
zbenjaminogra_: afaik he said he works on packaging lxd itself, but that will not yet make it possible for lxd clients to access the socket17:07
ogra_ah, not sure about that17:08
zbenjaminbzoltan would know the exact details17:08
ogra_yeah, but he seems afk today17:08
zbenjaminogra_: seems he is in #ubuntu-devel. His quassel server had some problems a while ago , he probably did not rejoin all channels yet17:10
ogra_he should have used the snap :P17:10
zbenjaminogra_: afaik he is running a precise server :D17:10
* ogra_ is making that up, no idea if there is actually a quassel snap :P17:10
ogra_(i use bip)17:10

ssweenyboth core and client snaps exist for quassel17:33
* ssweeny is using them :)17:33
ssweenywait, that's not right. I'm using the snapped client17:33
ssweenynow I'm not sure a snap of the core exists. Should be easy enough to make one17:34
* mcphail has a quassel core .click for the phone, if anyone needs one :)17:34
* ssweeny would be more interested in a .click for the client which actually lets you send messages17:38
ssweenyI couldn't get that to work with the client in the store17:38
dobeyhmm17:40
dobeyi wonder why this package is not in update_excuses yet, and there's no autopkgtests queued17:40
mcphailssweeny: yes, I was hoping the client would work with my server17:53
ssweenyThe touch client seems to work more-or-less fine except that I can't find a way to send a message17:55
mcphailssweeny: yes. same problem here17:56
ssweenythe repo for it seems dead. I might fork it to add stuff like anchoring the text entry to the keyboard and making scrolling the list of channels work a little nicer17:57
ssweenyit would also be nice to get push support :)17:58
mcphailssweeny: The server can run in the background, which avoids the need for pushes17:59
ssweenyah, well I use a remote server for nice multi-device experience17:59
