brunch875guys the new alt-tab on the phone looks -fantastic-14:20
brunch875I tried the three fingers thing but it wouldn't work on the e4.514:21
brunch875is there anything new I should try?14:21
davmor2brunch875: sidestage is still screen size dependant I believe14:22
brunch875yeah, I thought so14:23
brunch875I noticed how the name of the applications show up there like in unity714:23
brunch875I take it there's going to be a context menu :)14:23
r0kk3rzHi, does anyone know how the sensors work in ubuntu touch? is there some kind of service that reads them?14:25
r0kk3rzusensord doesnt seem to have much in it14:25
MCMicbrunch875: What is the new alt-tab stuff?14:26
brunch875MCMic: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/10/new-video-shows-changes-headed-unity-814:27
brunch875I had it recently land on my device, I'm on rc-proposed14:28
MCMicbrunch875: thanks14:29
dobeyr0kk3rz: the qt sensors api is how apps get access to them14:30
r0kk3rzdobey: obviously, but qtsensors needs a backend14:30
dobeyr0kk3rz: the drivers and such are all in the anroid container, which the ubuntu side talks to via libhybris14:31
r0kk3rzyep, and theres a bit in the middle that needs connecting14:31
r0kk3rzfrom the android sensor HAL to qt14:31
r0kk3rzin sailfish we have a daemon called sensorfwd that does this job14:31
dobeyyes, we have a QPA which talks to libhybris14:32
r0kk3rzafaik thats mostly graphics stuff14:34
r0kk3rzim not seeing anything sensory in here https://launchpad.net/qtubuntu14:39
r0kk3rzis there somewhere else i should be looking?14:39
pmcgowanthere is qtubuntu-sensors which talks to platform api14:41
pmcgowanusensord is a bit misnamed as its only vibration control14:41
pmcgowanr0kk3rz, ^14:42

r0kk3rzill take a look through this one, thanks guys14:43

r0kk3rzwhere might the code for this live? <ubuntu/application/sensors/accelerometer.h>14:52
pmcgowanr0kk3rz, that is in the platform-api project14:56

learnbsdNyxus: i think so...didn't they ship that with ub touch on it?17:00
Nyxuslearnbsd its was the the 32gb/3gb version17:05
Nyxuswas just wondering if there was any problems17:05
rbasakDoes anyone know something about a dead wifi system settings screen, a missing network indicator, and an empty "indicator-network" tab in the top edge menu?17:10
rbasakThis reproduces on my Aquaris 4.5 even after reboot. I can't touch wifi settings any more.17:10
rbasakIt's completely broken. Related might be that I was trying to use the hotspot facility the other day and that just stopped working too.17:10
rbasakDuring that time I was getting hard resets as well as Unity restarts.17:11
rbasakIt seems very buggy since the last OTA.17:11
rbasak /home has 1.3G free and / has 232M free.17:11
rbasakAny suggestions on what to look for?17:11
learnbsdrbasak: i have no wifi either so not just you.17:12
rbasakI'm happy to help debug. I have sshd running and working so can poke around. Just not sure where to look.17:12
rbasaklearnbsd: thanks17:12
pmcgowanrbasak, there is a known issue with stale lock files17:15
dobeyrbasak: maybe bug #161547417:15
ubot5`bug 1615474 in indicator-network (Ubuntu) "Network Indicator / Connectivity-API is not accessible" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/161547417:15
pmcgowanthat one17:15
rbasakThanks! That looks likely. I'll try the workaround.17:16
rbasakYes, that fixed it. Thanks again!17:17
rbasakI guess I ended up with the stale lock when I hit the buggy hotspot behaviour that made my phone crash.17:17
pmcgowanyeah thats an awful bug17:17
rbasakpmcgowan: the bug isn't tagged regression-release or anything. Is there any place you gather known OTA regression type bugs that I can check when I hit issues next time, please?17:18
rbasakI do love the battery life on this phone BTW. "Last charged 91 hours ago"17:19
pmcgowanrbasak, the lock file issue is not really a regression, unless you mean the hotspot issue?17:20
rbasakFair enough. I do feel that Unity is less stable this OTA though. It's crashed a whole bunch of times on me. And the browser app has too, sometimes making it impossible to restart without a reboot. It feels like a memory leak or corruption in Unity to me (though that's just speculation).17:22
rbasakI feel that's an OTA regression, but I don't really know where to look for a bug there.17:23
pmcgowanhmm let me check the reports, we just fixed a browser crash17:24
rbasakI feel that my issue is wider than a browser crash, because I've also seen Unity disappear at random times. Sometimes it restarts itself (so I see the moving dots and then it's as if I've just rebooted, but quicker).17:25
rbasakAnd the phone app display is sometimes broken, which I notice when I try to hang up an incoming call (as I never look at the phone app itself when receiving a call)17:26
rbasakSo that's why I suspect a memory leak or unity issue.17:26
pmcgowanthe oom could be shooting them but shouldnt17:26
pmcgowanrbasak, what is your device17:27
rbasakAquaris 4.5.17:27
rbasakThe hotspot thing I feel may be separate. IIRC, I only got hard reboots when trying to get the hotspot going. At that time I kept switching network (for various unrelated reasons) so I was probably pushing against a race. I presume that's what caused my stale lock.17:29
rbasakBut the general unstability I feel has happened since the last OTA and possibly unrelated to the hotspot and the missing network indicator.17:29
dobeysomething is probably eating your ram17:30
rbasakThat's what I suspected.17:30
dobeywith only 1 GB total, there really isn't much to go around, so it's not unfathomable that the OOM killer might be getting hit a fair bit on a phone where you use many apps17:30
rbasakHmm17:31
rbasakindicator-datetime17:31
rbasak315892 RSS.17:31
rbasakEspected?17:31
rbasakunit8 is 11004817:31
rbasakunity817:31
dobeydo you have a whole bunch of alarms17:31
dobeyand/or events?17:32
rbasakProbably many events, as it's syncing my calendar.17:32
rbasakNot many alarms. Perhaps 4.17:32
dobeyunity8 may not be the unity8 process you are looking for17:32
rbasakI'm sorting by highest RSS :)17:32
rbasakIt seems unreasonable for indicator-datetime to be using so much RAM to hold my events. If that's a problem, it should keep them on disk.17:33
rbasakIs there a bug for that?17:33
dobeyright. i just mean there are multiple things that are "unity8" so depending on what's actually getting killed that process may or may not be it17:33
dobeyi don't know17:34
dobeyit might not be indicator-datetime itself, but the e-d-s libs. hard to say without hard data17:34
dobeyindicator-datetime isn't using that much RAM on my workstation though17:35
rbasakThere's bug 134212317:35
ubot5`bug 1342123 in indicator-datetime (Ubuntu) "evolution-calendar-factory always running with high memory usage" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/134212317:35
rbasakBut my evolution-calendar-factory process isn't actually so bad compared to indicator-datetime itself.17:35
rbasakI wonder if I should reboot to see if it's a leak.17:36
rbasak(though then why would it be RSS?)17:36
dobeyyeah, evolution-calendar-facotry on my workstation is using ~165 MB RSS17:36
rbasakMine is 35816 only (!)17:36
dobeywhy would a leak not be RSS?17:36
rbasakI'd expect it to get swapped out as it would be unused.17:38
dobeywell if it's a leak it's probably "used"17:39
dobeyeven if it's not17:39
dobeyand i don't think there is a disk swap on the phone anyway17:39
rbasakIn a normal leak, the program forgets about the memory. The kernel then eventually swaps it out.17:39
rbasakMy phone has:17:39
rbasakSwap:       524284     210748     31353617:39
rbasakIf indicator-datetime consistently uses high RSS, I'll file a bug. I'll keep an eye on it.17:40
dobeywell i would expect a leak on the stack to show up as RSS (always has in my experience anyway)17:41
rbasakAh. I was thinking heap.17:41
rbasakStacks don't normally leak. How would they without crashing?17:41
rbasakAnyway, I should go. Thank you for the help :)17:42
dobeycheers17:42

lpotterr0kk3rz: sensors are read by android SensorManager->platform-api->qtubuntu->qtsensors18:56
r0kk3rzlpotter: the device im working on doesnt seem to need sensormanager, which is a bit weird19:11
lpotterif it's android, it does19:13
r0kk3rzat least, the service doesnt appear to be running under android os19:13
lpotterthey may have forked and renamed it perhaps19:14
lpotterwhat device?19:14
r0kk3rzits a sony z3 compact tablet, but we're having the same problem on all sony devices of that era19:16
r0kk3rzlike the z2/z3 phone19:17
r0kk3rzthe android sensor HAL returns 0 sensors19:17
lpottermight be permissions issue?19:19
r0kk3rzyeah possibly, but ive been looking for any perms issues and come up empty so far19:22
lpottercould try finding the sensors devnodes and lsof to see who is using them.19:24
lpotterbit offtopic for this channel though19:25
r0kk3rzyeah thats not a bad idea19:27
