[01:50] <krowv> Hi, i’m working on building Ubuntu Phone from source.  Do I still use vivid-preinstalled-touch-armhf.tar.gz?
[01:50] <krowv> with rootstock?
[02:35] <Stanley00> krowv: I just wonder which guide you are following. I could only find the guide for porting, which is build kernel, and use prebuilt system image.
[02:36] <krowv> one second
[02:36] <krowv> https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/phone/devices/porting-new-device/
[02:36] <krowv> It is mentioned on that page
[02:36] <krowv> “You can find the latest Ubuntu rootfs image at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/current/vivid-preinstalled-touch-armhf.tar.gz."
[02:38] <krowv> and it talks about putting the phone into fastboot and then using rootstock to I guess inject that filesystem into the system.img on the phone
[02:39] <Stanley00> yeah, I read the link before, that is just build kernel (more precisely is building minimal android system for lxc) and use prebuilt ubuntu system image)
[02:40] <Stanley00> so, vivid is current stable release, so you should go with it
[04:02] <krowv> Stanley00: Ok.  I built the minimal android system.  next I need to try and load onto my nexus 4 via fastboot and then see if I can get rootstock to play nice and load the prebuilt ubuntu system image
[04:03] <Stanley00> krowv: good luck to you then :3
[04:11] <krowv> Stanley00: Thanks.  My ultimate goal is to make this work on a Samsung Galaxy S4.
[04:12] <krowv> Figured I would start on the reference platform first
[04:14] <Stanley00> krowv: I think that have an image here, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices/i9505, little old, but I cannot check xda-forum thread right now
[04:16] <krowv> Yeah, I’ve looked at that link.  I have a slightly different version of the S4 so I’m not sure if that would even work.  I’m being methodical about this, and have been learning AOSP and ubuntu phone internals along the way
[04:16] <Stanley00> krowv: oh, I see
[04:17] <krowv> Stanley00: Once I finish get things working with the Nexus 4 with Ubuntu phone from source then I’ll fully turn my attention to the S4.
[04:18] <krowv> If I’ve been researching correctly though I need to locate vendor Samsung drivers for 4.4.2, get a working devices directory, and potentially do things to the kernel?
[04:18] <krowv> and also I could run into problems tweaking mir and such.
[04:20] <Stanley00> I'm not familiar with building process actually.
[07:55] <mardy> jgdx: hi! do you build the u-s-s snap in xenial or yakkety?
[10:50] <Acou_Bass> guys, is there any way to delete calendars/contact  lists ubuntu touch? i accidentally made loads of them trying to get syncevolution to work -_- DX
[10:58] <mcphail> Acou_Bass: yes - https://gurucubano.gitbooks.io/bq-aquaris-e-4-5-ubuntu-phone/content/en/chapter9.html
[11:01] <Acou_Bass> ahhhh excellent, thanks! couldnt find that anywhere -_-
[11:27] <jgdx> mardy, hey, xenial
[11:28] <mardy> jgdx: mmm... I get this: Error downloading stage packages for part 'ubuntu-system-settings': no such package 'aethercast'
[11:29] <jgdx> mardy, you're using my snapcraft branch?
[11:30] <jgdx> mardy, aethercast was made a suggests, so just remove that from stage-packages
[11:30] <mardy> jgdx: yes, your branch; or should I use trunk instead?
[11:31] <jgdx> mardy, this has not landed yet, so you need that branch. I can push a fix
[11:32] <mardy> jgdx: thanks, in the meantime I'll just remove that line then
[11:33] <mardy> jgdx: same for qml-module-biometryd?
[11:34] <jgdx> mardy, I think that was mir'd
[11:36] <davmor2> jgdx: are you sure I thought it was dropped I could be wrong
[11:36] <davmor2> jgdx: willcooke might know
[11:37] <willcooke> yeah it was
[11:37] <willcooke> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/biometryd/+bug/1626095
[11:52] <jgdx> i don't understand, fix released = dropped? davmor2, ? :)
[11:53] <davmor2> jgdx: hey if dropping it fixed the issue that would be fix released :P
[11:54]  * jgdx deletes all code ever
[12:00] <davmor2> jgdx: yay no more bugs
[13:30] <jgdx> mardy, if you review that branch, we could land it (snapcraft)
[13:31]  * mardy looks
[13:45] <angel_> sorry I have a problem with a bq ubuntu edition I have the IMEI number, but I do not see how I can solve
[14:03] <angel_> sorry I have a problem with a bq ubuntu edition I have the IMEI number, but I do not see how I can solve
[14:05] <dobey> angel_: be patient, and just ask your question. if someone can help you, they will. if you somehow managed to erase the partition with the IMEI data, you need to use the bq tool, and maybe ask bq for help there.
[14:06] <angel_> ok
[14:14] <mardy> jgdx: you didn't remove qml-module-biometryd, did you forget to push a commit?
[14:26] <jgdx> mardy, sorry, was that mird or not? Without qml-module-biometry the security panel won't function
[14:31] <mardy> jgdx: it was MIRd in yakkety, but you told me to build in xenial :-)
[14:32] <jgdx> mardy, oh man, sorry. xenial+overlay
[14:33] <jgdx> okay, need to rethink that one
[16:10] <Twin> Hello, friends. Could you help me, please? How can i flash "yakkety-preinstalled-touch-armhf.tar.gz" to Nexus 4 device? Sorry for my English.
[16:11] <Twin> from Windows
[18:57] <CoderEurope> I shall just leave this here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BQ-Aquaris-E4-5-Ubuntu-Edition-/262674156411
[21:26] <rubencarneiro1> hi all
[21:27] <dobey> hi
[21:32] <rubencarneiro1> can anyone tell me if theres any know bug on unity8 that makes unity-dash black and white and only showing half screen
[21:33] <dobey> not that i know of. sounds like a graphics issue. can you take screenshot?
[21:34] <dobey> vol up+dn at same time should take a screenshot
[21:39] <rubencarneiro1> dobey i been trying to port to nexus 5
[21:40] <dobey> robru: nexus 5 already has a port at ubports.com
[21:41] <robru> rubencarneiro1: ^
[21:41] <rubencarneiro1> not working right at the time
[21:42] <rubencarneiro1> in fact the devel_rc-proposed has the same bug
[21:42] <dobey> stable should work ok, as should rc-proposed
[21:43] <rubencarneiro1> stable, has problems with apparmor, no file share, no thumbnails, cant some apps like hungups that uses pyotherside
[21:44] <dobey> it's not perfect, no. but you really should work with the ubports people instead of trying to do another independent port
[21:46] <rubencarneiro1> is not my quest to do an independent port, just wanna find some solutions for some of the problems since i own a device i build and test, when i find a solution if i find some solutions i share with them
[21:49] <dobey> rubencarneiro1: you are trying to use android 5 yes?
[21:51] <rubencarneiro1> yes im using ubports device tree and repo
[21:52] <rubencarneiro1> sorry for my english im portuguese
[21:53] <dobey> rubencarneiro1: ok, well first thing you should do is take a screen shot and then look at the .png on a PC. if the .png looks right, it's probably a lower level issue than unity8
[21:53] <dobey> well it probably is a lower level issue than that anyway. but seems likely it could be an issue as a result of changes in the driver for the newewr kernel
[21:55] <dobey> anyway, i have to go. good luck
[21:55] <rubencarneiro1> the only thing that is messeup is unity 8 dash and apps "scopes", notification bar and unity launcher bar is ok, also lock screen is lokking good, as well passpromot at lockscreen, every screenshot i take look exactally as it look at the phone
[21:56] <rubencarneiro1> the screen corruption is only on unity
