[09:19] KrisJace: there is a tool called mirout that prints the outputs and the current active resolution on each of them [09:21] 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.. [09:24] 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.. [09:38] @anpok THank you! [09:38] I actually got same answer from Michael Zanetti ad Ubuntu App Dev group on Telegram [09:38] it works [09:39] also I cannot use mir_surface_output_event I'm affraid [09:39] as my apps are Gtk apps [09:39] and run in XMir === _salem is now known as salem_ === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun [12:23] 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] Do you know where I could get some guides to set up the ubuntu phone to replace this? [12:26] 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 [12:27] I would also try the whole miracast thing but the e4.5 can't do it... right? === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk === marcusto_ is now known as marcustomlinson [14:26] brunch875: http://askubuntu.com/a/623311/50737 [14:26] 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 [14:27] this rpi has 700MHz + 400MB RAM! [14:28] I just managed to set up a libertine container, where I'm running finch to IRC via SSH :) [14:32] What I'm trying to do right now is forward the libertine container display through SSH -Y [14:34] libertine-launch -i containername has matchbox complain that DISPLAY isn't set, so it sounds like it is capable to do this [14:35] the problem is that launching apps through libertine starts their own X server [14:36] :/ So this means I should give up doing via libertine then [14:36] well you can use libertine to manage the chroot [14:37] 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] 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] right now if I DISPLAY=:0 ssh -Y phablet@ip it will state that it wasn't possible to forward through :0 [14:37] well DISPLAY=:0 is probably wrong [14:38] also see the man page about -Y and default options [14:39] does it sound plausible to make this work without making the phone writable? [14:40] yes [14:40] been there done that :) [14:42] though ssh over wifi to phone is a bit annoying because it gets really laggy when the phone tries to go to sleep [14:43] no problem, I just made it stay awake :p === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader [16:03] Elleo: ping. I've sent the Esperanto layout for the keyboard. Can you please review the MP to see if I'm missing something? [16:11] 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? [16:12] elopio: sure thing [16:12] this is regardless of using -X or -Y. If I understood it correctly, the default settings *should* work out of the box [16:12] brunch875: no, but it's been a long time === shuduo is now known as shuduo-afk [16:48] 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] this was last friday, so I take it xauth hasn't been missing for too long === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk [16:51] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1648914 [16:51] Ubuntu bug 1648914 in Canonical System Image "Add xauth for helping X forwarding scenarios" [Undecided,Opinion] [16:59] im trying to install ubuntu in my tablet [16:59] does somebody know the correct channel for a monster tablet === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader [17:30] Elleo: thanks! [17:45] 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] devel-proposed is not xenial and no you shouldn't run it [17:55] dobey: just realised no images are build anymore on devel-proposed [17:56] they all stopped on the 25th of October === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk === hasselmm1 is now known as hasselmm [19:36] 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] and it works! [19:36] Now the real question is how I install these things at $HOME so that the ssh daemon can use them [19:37] brunch875: why not just run ssh server inside the chroot instead of in the host? :) [19:37] is it good enough to put $PATH and $LPATH (or however it is) in .bashrc [19:37] ? [19:38] yes, dobey, that's definitely what I want [19:38] thanks for snapping me out [19:38] how could I do this, though? [19:38] or just run it on a different port [19:39] chroot into the chroot, and install openssh-server and configure the port, and run it? [19:39] :) I'm glad you know all of this and are willing to share [19:39] you've helped me mountains already [19:40] then just ssh -p 2222 -Y or whatever and it should put you inside the chroot [19:41] might need to create a different user inside the chroot or bind-mount home dir or something [19:41] but then you can just apt away things in the chroot straight through ssh without really worrying about the host system [19:42] are these binds going to go away once the base ssh shuts down? [19:43] mount --bind? no it has nothing to do with ssh itself [19:43] 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 [19:44] so the chroot ssh is going to stay alive too? [19:44] that's a great thing [19:45] 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] knowing that the base system can be accessed from the mounted folders [19:51] 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 [19:55] Wouldn't libertine sandbox the openssh-server so it wasn't reachable from outside? [19:55] I'm not too familiar with the confinement of those things [19:59] it depends on how it's started i guess. but in the end a chroot is just a chroot [20:00] it's certainly possible to run services inside the container which are accessible from the outside === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader [20:12] managed to create a user but I can't seem to give him a password so no idea how to log in as him [20:12] "passwd: Authentication token manipulation error" [20:16] not sure, can't really help debug, sorry === salem_ is now known as _salem === Piece_Maker is now known as Acou_Bass
