| KrisJace | can anyone tell me how on Ubuntu Touch with Mir do I find screen DPI from command line? | 09:09 |
|---|---|---|
| anpok_ | KrisJace: there is a tool called mirout that prints the outputs and the current active resolution on each of them | 09:19 |
| anpok_ | the tool must be allowed to connect to a server.. so you can have it connect to u-s-c or unity8.. in the case of unity8 it may report the wrong orientation and swapped WxH on some devices.. | 09:21 |
| anpok_ | KrisJace: if you are a client with a window you would get that information in a nicer form as soon as you get displayed.. since there is a mir_surface_output_event sent.. containing the output and its dpi form factor refresh rate.. | 09:24 |
| KrisJace | @anpok THank you! | 09:38 |
| KrisJace | I actually got same answer from Michael Zanetti ad Ubuntu App Dev group on Telegram | 09:38 |
| KrisJace | it works | 09:38 |
| KrisJace | also I cannot use mir_surface_output_event I'm affraid | 09:39 |
| KrisJace | as my apps are Gtk apps | 09:39 |
| KrisJace | and run in XMir | 09:39 |

| brunch875 | Hello! My computer broke and now I'm left with a painfully slow raspberry pi (python interpreter takes 4 seconds to load) with a broken APT which can't install anything... | 12:23 |
| brunch875 | Do you know where I could get some guides to set up the ubuntu phone to replace this? | 12:23 |
| brunch875 | Mostly interested about setting up a container and logging into it where I can use apt. If I could redirect the display over SSH that'd be amazing as well, since this PI is choking with the kiwi | 12:26 |
| brunch875 | I would also try the whole miracast thing but the e4.5 can't do it... right? | 12:27 |

| dobey | brunch875: http://askubuntu.com/a/623311/50737 | 14:26 |
| dobey | brunch875: note that the e4.5 only has 1GB RAM and not a lot of storage space or CPU power, so probably won't actually be faster than running stuff on a rpi | 14:26 |
| brunch875 | this rpi has 700MHz + 400MB RAM! | 14:27 |
| brunch875 | I just managed to set up a libertine container, where I'm running finch to IRC via SSH :) | 14:28 |
| brunch875 | What I'm trying to do right now is forward the libertine container display through SSH -Y | 14:32 |
| brunch875 | libertine-launch -i containername has matchbox complain that DISPLAY isn't set, so it sounds like it is capable to do this | 14:34 |
| dobey | the problem is that launching apps through libertine starts their own X server | 14:35 |
| brunch875 | :/ So this means I should give up doing via libertine then | 14:36 |
| dobey | well you can use libertine to manage the chroot | 14:36 |
| brunch875 | if I set a chroot environment like in the askubuntu post... would it be possible to connect to it via SSH and rediret the display? | 14:37 |
| dobey | but you're going to have to ssh in and manually chroot into the libertine container and run whatever app with the appropriate DISPLAY=:0 set | 14:37 |
| brunch875 | right now if I DISPLAY=:0 ssh -Y phablet@ip it will state that it wasn't possible to forward through :0 | 14:37 |
| dobey | well DISPLAY=:0 is probably wrong | 14:37 |
| dobey | also see the man page about -Y and default options | 14:38 |
| brunch875 | does it sound plausible to make this work without making the phone writable? | 14:39 |
| dobey | yes | 14:40 |
| dobey | been there done that :) | 14:40 |
| dobey | though ssh over wifi to phone is a bit annoying because it gets really laggy when the phone tries to go to sleep | 14:42 |
| brunch875 | no problem, I just made it stay awake :p | 14:43 |

| elopio | Elleo: ping. I've sent the Esperanto layout for the keyboard. Can you please review the MP to see if I'm missing something? | 16:03 |
| brunch875 | dobey: It seems I'm having problems forwarding X since the phone doesn't have xauth installed... do you remember having this issue at all? | 16:11 |
| Elleo | elopio: sure thing | 16:12 |
| brunch875 | this is regardless of using -X or -Y. If I understood it correctly, the default settings *should* work out of the box | 16:12 |
| dobey | brunch875: no, but it's been a long time | 16:12 |

| brunch875 | bingo! someone filed a bug complaining that the xauth program is missing and how he worked it around by generating an .Xauthority himself | 16:48 |

| elopio | Elleo: thanks! | 17:30 |
| taiebot | Hi, I believe focus of development is on Xenial now, so what is the status of devel-proposed is it stable enough to switch to this channel? BTW i am on mako | 17:45 |
| dobey | devel-proposed is not xenial and no you shouldn't run it | 17:45 |
| taiebot | dobey: just realised no images are build anymore on devel-proposed | 17:55 |
| taiebot | they all stopped on the 25th of October | 17:56 |

| brunch875 | jesus this is more complicated than I thought. I coldn't get installation candidates of xauth so I had to apt-get download on the rpi to then get in the chroot to dpkg -i xauth and the library dependency | 19:36 |
| brunch875 | and it works! | 19:36 |
| brunch875 | Now the real question is how I install these things at $HOME so that the ssh daemon can use them | 19:36 |
| dobey | brunch875: why not just run ssh server inside the chroot instead of in the host? :) | 19:37 |
| brunch875 | is it good enough to put $PATH and $LPATH (or however it is) in .bashrc | 19:37 |
| brunch875 | ? | 19:37 |
| brunch875 | yes, dobey, that's definitely what I want | 19:38 |
| brunch875 | thanks for snapping me out | 19:38 |
| brunch875 | how could I do this, though? | 19:38 |
| dobey | or just run it on a different port | 19:38 |
| dobey | chroot into the chroot, and install openssh-server and configure the port, and run it? | 19:39 |
| brunch875 | :) I'm glad you know all of this and are willing to share | 19:39 |
| brunch875 | you've helped me mountains already | 19:39 |
| dobey | then just ssh -p 2222 -Y or whatever and it should put you inside the chroot | 19:40 |
| dobey | might need to create a different user inside the chroot or bind-mount home dir or something | 19:41 |
| dobey | but then you can just apt away things in the chroot straight through ssh without really worrying about the host system | 19:41 |
| brunch875 | are these binds going to go away once the base ssh shuts down? | 19:42 |
| dobey | mount --bind? no it has nothing to do with ssh itself | 19:43 |
| dobey | but it will be unmounted when you reboot or such, and the chroot ssh of course would get killed then too, and not automatically started on reboot | 19:43 |
| brunch875 | so the chroot ssh is going to stay alive too? | 19:44 |
| brunch875 | that's a great thing | 19:44 |
| brunch875 | I really may want to create a non-root user inside the chroot though, since running firefox as root could be a very crazy idea | 19:45 |
| brunch875 | knowing that the base system can be accessed from the mounted folders | 19:45 |
| dobey | well if you created it with libertine, i think it should already have stuff setup to run as "phablet" user, at least when run with libertine stuff; not really poked deeper into it myself | 19:51 |
| brunch875 | Wouldn't libertine sandbox the openssh-server so it wasn't reachable from outside? | 19:55 |
| brunch875 | I'm not too familiar with the confinement of those things | 19:55 |
| dobey | it depends on how it's started i guess. but in the end a chroot is just a chroot | 19:59 |
| dobey | it's certainly possible to run services inside the container which are accessible from the outside | 20:00 |
