Lantiziahey I keep getting "this phone needs restoring from a pc or service center"18:34
Lantiziatrying to flash a nexus 10 - i've made sure it's unlocked, that I did a fresh reflash of the stock 4.4.4 first - and also that i wiped the cache and userdata area first18:35
Lantiziastill no joy - any ideas?18:35
Lantiziai can put android back on it no problem - but i wanted to take a look at ubuntu18:35
Lantiziai am using channel = ubuntu-touch/stable    could that be the reason!?18:38
Lantiziai'll try loading something older than 4.4.4 on first18:43
Lantiziafrom what I'm reading lots of people have been having this issue lately - with barely anyone replying19:19
Lantiziaso, ubuntu touch is broken - and no one cares... so I shouldn't either? move on?19:20
Lantiziaalthough technically I'm using ubports from mariogrip19:21
Lantiziaso maybe it's just that which is b0rked19:21
JanCit's also end-of-the-year holidays for many people19:22
Lantizianot for all the times people have had no replied i've read up on courtesy of google19:22
Lantiziawell it seems it is just ubports - getting 'devel' from the main server seems to get further at least19:34
Lantiziaeven though from the main server it isn't strictly supported19:34
Lantiziai'm likely to hate this anyway19:35
SebthreeBQM10HDhi20:16
garybothey :]20:21
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, hi20:29
garybothey Seb.. are you ubuntu dev too??20:35
garyboti want to know if touch is available for oneplustwo devices..20:37
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, no an Ubuntu user20:38
SebthreeBQM10HDtouch user etc20:38
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, but20:38
SebthreeBQM10HDI know they have been working on ports for the one plus20:38
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, you'll want  the ubports website20:38
garybotah nice..  :]20:38
SebthreeBQM10HDsome deaisl there about ports etc, but I  have a feeling they won't work that well currently20:38
garyboti'm a desktop user lol20:38
SebthreeBQM10HDor  they do and don't20:38
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, I have three Ubuntu devices, whe nI keep not up to date though inteniotnly since thought had lost hat phone before20:39
SebthreeBQM10HDother two I keep up to date or enough up to date20:39
OerHeksOnePlus One and OnePlus X20:39
SebthreeBQM10HDone I keep  above....20:39
OerHekshttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices20:39
garyboti cant wait to try it on my phone but the page said it's not yet fully developed..20:39
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, exactly tht's what i MEAN20:39
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, not everything will work properly as far as I know20:39
SebthreeBQM10HDif you put on a one plus phone20:40
garybotyeah I wanted to buy one plus one but new devices are no more available..20:40
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, it's not quite the same, but can get  a bit of an idea what the tablet etc is like20:40
garybotanyway.. i got my one plus two today :]20:40
SebthreeBQM10HDif20:40
SebthreeBQM10HDyou put unity 8 in the desktop ubuntu20:40
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, but then you would have to put more  snap packages yourself, and even libertine stuff in there, to make it more real :D20:41
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, for some reason online plus doens't apppeal to me enough to buy or a google pixel for that matter20:41
SebthreeBQM10HDa part of me wnats to buy a second hand old nexus 5 maybe, so can play around with well various mobile oses20:42
SebthreeBQM10HDwithout buying yet another phone :d20:42
garybotlol my sister got a nexus 5... she wont let me mess with it xD20:43
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, one plus  hardware is a bit too powrful currently for ubuntu touch,  what I mean is the os won't take full advantge of that hardware, since there isn't really anthing really powerful to run in it,  except for my wireless convergence20:43
SebthreeBQM10HDexcept for maybe above20:43
garyboteventually she will get bored and hopefully buy a new phone so i can take it20:43
SebthreeBQM10HDbut I have done the microsoft wireless adapater stuff with the  hd tablet, and hdmi cable way to,  it's not that impressive in reality20:43
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, how old are you and your sisteR?20:44
garybotSeb there are two of you??20:44
garybotdifferent colour lol20:44
SebthreeBQM10HDuh /20:44
SebthreeBQM10HD?20:44
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, this is a high light if that's what you mean20:44
garyboti'm 22.. my sister is 20..20:45
SebthreeBQM10HDone plus is a good phone20:45
garybotoh lol20:45
SebthreeBQM10HDnice you got that20:45
SebthreeBQM10HD,but20:45
garybotxD20:45
SebthreeBQM10HDubuntu touch is a bit uhmm limiting realy currently20:45
SebthreeBQM10HDas in what it can and cannot run, or can and cannot run really easily20:45
SebthreeBQM10HDit's a good os though ;)20:45
SebthreeBQM10HDgrandrew, next two years things should become more exicitng, since the desktop ubuntu and phone and tablet, will all converge more, as in become more the same,20:46
garybotoh well the page for oneplus two says nothing works yet.. not even boot..20:46
garybotso maybe i will wait..20:46
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, and become ubuntu perosnal as it's called20:46
garyboti also got some old android devices..20:46
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, have you tried unity  8 on desktop ubuntu ?20:46
SebthreeBQM10HDin 16.10 ?20:46
garybotlike an old HTC desire and one HP tablet..20:46
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, right, but ubuntu touch only currently worsk on specific devices,  the commerical devices ideally, then a few unoffical ports to such as for one plus a20:47
SebthreeBQM10HDyeah, but it won't just work on those devices20:47
garybotbut they got no releases for custom ROMs or even ubuntu yet..20:47
garybotah well thanks for pointing that out..20:47
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, trying UNity 8 on the desktop is worth it, but bare in mind, to make that more useable, you would have to install well snaps20:47
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, quite a few people seem to think it isnt so good the 16.10 version of it20:48
garyboti was wondering if i could build touch from source for those devices..20:48
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, main noticable thing that's diffenret currently to the desktop, in a ubuntu touch device, is yep the interface unity 820:48
SebthreeBQM10HDand  things installed with that20:48
garybotunity 8 you mean the Game engine??20:49
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, what you don't know what unity is then ?20:49
SebthreeBQM10HDUbuntu Unity20:49
SebthreeBQM10HDCanonical's Unity20:49
SebthreeBQM10HD!unity20:49
ubot5`Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04.  Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity20:49
garybotoh yeah..20:49
garyboti know..20:49
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, by default it's the old Unity 7 interface, but20:49
SebthreeBQM10HDUbuntu 16.10 also has a Unity 8 preview session installed by default, but that it seems doesn't do much by default20:50
SebthreeBQM10HDunlike say when it's runing on the phone or tablet :) since other progarms installed there as well20:50
SebthreeBQM10HDbut people can install snaps into it for more stuff anyway so20:50
SebthreeBQM10HDand even libertine it seems, but for desktop computer then,  not phone or tablet.  that's for running the old xorg progarms20:50
garybotah well i will check it out.. been a while since i booted to ubuntu... I have dual boot system on my desktop..20:51
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, if you do all that,  you'll have an idea what ubuntu touch is really like currently, espeicaly if you done it on a computer with a touch screen as well :D20:51
garybotmostly i use KAli linux..20:51
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, if you want lots of difenet apps from Andordi20:51
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, or ios or something20:51
SebthreeBQM10HDyou know common main strame apps20:51
SebthreeBQM10HDwell  no ubuntu touch realy isn't it currently20:52
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, Ubuntu touch can run old xorg programs, firefox., libre office, etc etc :)20:52
SebthreeBQM10HDor uh unity 8 on desktop even, wehn that's set up20:53
garybotwell i guess i should not try it on my new one plus then lol20:53
garyboti dont need main stream apps but on my new phone i guess i might require games xD20:54
LantiziaSebthreeBQM10HD, how can I get it running regular X11 apps?  i just popped it on my nexus 1020:56
Lantiziaaccording to "dpkg -l" x11 isn't installed... also apt-get doesn't work, claims it can't write to /var/cache/apt20:57
Lantiziaah sod it who am i fooling21:03
Lantiziaubuntu touch is hideous21:03
* Lantizia reflashes android21:03
SebthreeBQM10HDoh missed lantizia22:00
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, your stil here?22:00
garybotyea... i'm around lol :]22:12
garybotguess Lantizia was not very happy lol..22:14
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, indeed22:29
SebthreeBQM10HDgarybot, but its a bit limited compared to android22:30
SebthreeBQM10HDstill good though22:30
dobeywhat the heck was he even wanting to do23:12
garyboti agree... if it was not a brand new phone i would get ubuntu23:12
