kenvandinemterry, i was thinking about the content-hub service crash, i wonder if that happens when we ask unity if the service is focused14:30
kenvandine    return d->unityFocus->call("isSurfaceFocused", surfaceId).arguments().at(0).toBool();14:30
kenvandinemterry, can the service talk to com.canonical.Unity.FocusInfo ?14:31
mterrykenvandine: interesting...14:31
mterrykenvandine: it should be able to in theory -- content-hub is running unconfined in this case14:31
kenvandinemterry, ok, i was trying to see what code path copy/paste uses that might crash14:32
mterrykenvandine: nice thanks14:32
mterryThat does seem like a potential problem point.  But at first blush, I'm guessing it should be able to hit that api14:32
kenvandineok14:33
kenvandinemterry, you could run the service in testing mode, which would bypass that check14:33

mcveriHey I'm hangin out on the internet and I just saw ubuntuphone16:38
mcveriAm I right here?16:39
davmor2you are right here16:41
dobeywell, you're over there, and i am here ;)16:41
davmor2dobey: but only from your perspective16:42
dobeydavmor2: from your perspective, i am still here, and you are still over there. our positions did not change :)16:43
mcveriehm right16:49
mcveriI want to install it but can I uninstall if I cant use16:49
mcveriand its like PC or minimalimze version?16:50
dobeyif your device is supported, you can flash it on, and if you can't use it, you can flash android back to your device16:54
dobeyit's not quite like a full standard PC install of ubuntu, no. phones are very limited hardware devices16:54
mcverihmm. I think research a little bit more.16:57
mcveriI want to change android OS to Other linux distrubition16:58
mcverioh its not supported. Thanks for help17:00

SebthreeBQM10HDanyone around?17:36
mterrytedg_: so I updated desktop-launch to specify a hardcoded MIR_SOCKET and updated unity8 to offer that location -- so you can remove some of the UAL hacks at your leisure around that17:58
mterrytedg_: also... I guess UAL should trigger mir usage or not based on the mir interface, not the unity8 one17:58
=== salem_ is now known as _salem
tedg_mterry: Yeah, we need to also show apps that only have "mir" in thier interfaces.18:48
=== _salem is now known as salem_
dobeytedg_: not sure i would agree with that, but the landscape is a desert now, so i don't have enough details to argue further. just gives me the "not so sure about that" feeling :)19:01
tedg_dobey: It seems that things like games would only require a mir interface, to work on things like RaspPi or other smaller boards along with full desktops.19:03
tedg_If they don't need all the other desktop stuff, don't require it.19:04
dobeytedg_: yeah, so would any full screen kiosk app.19:04
dobeybut like i said, landscape is still a desert19:05
hpagseddymal: i cant create $SFE_SB2_TARGET19:12

mterrytedg_: if you haven't started on the unity8->mir migration, I'd like to take a swing at it22:00
mterry(in UAL)22:00
tedg_mterry: Oh, sure. No problem.22:01
tedg_mterry: Just FYI kenvandine has a big ABI/API break silo that we're preparing.22:01
tedg_mterry: So it'll probably need to land after that (and there might be a bit of weirdness there)22:01
mterrytedg_: ok can start with that as a base then22:01
mterrytedg_: ok...  so we assume unity8 interface is also an indicator for lifecycle -- which I'd argue we don't want to do.  Unless we slim that interface down to basically nothing.  Or use a new interface for lifecycle support.  Because we shouldn't mix desktop service access (to things like copy/paste, Qt.openUrlExternally, Unity launcher icon adjusting, etc)22:14
mterrywith lifecycle management.  Plenty of apps would want the former but not the latter.22:14
mterrytedg_: should we get snapd to allow X-Ubuntu-Touch in its desktop files?22:14
mterryI suspect they wouldn't like the naming of it.  But we could rename22:14
tedg_mterry: Well, I feel like "unity8" *is* saying you want to be part of the U8 lifecycle.22:14
tedg_mterry: If you didn't want to be part of it, wouldn't you use "mir" ?22:15
tedg_I don't think we want to let app developers off the hook.22:15
mterrytedg_: sure.  I buy that argument.  But then we should move all the other stuff we do in unity8 interface out of it22:15
tedg_If you want the goodness that is Unity8, you have to develop and app that can talk to us about lifecycle correctly.22:15
mterrytedg_: well it's complicated.  Any app that uses Qt + mir won't have copy and paste or Qt.openUrlExternally support unless they also have access to the desktop services22:16
mterrytedg_: So like... spotify (if written in Qt) could very reasonably want to run in mir directly (it can!  qt supports it), but also not be lifecycled22:17
mterrybut to lose copy/paste in that deal?22:17
mterryThat's unexpected22:17
tedg_mterry: I guess it seems to me that the number of Qt apps that bundle the mir backend will be small.22:17
tedg_mterry: So we're talking about people that want to use our custom backend, bundle it in their snap, but don't want to listen to its signals about lifecycle.22:17
mterrytedg_: it's not a custom backend.  It's just Qt!  If you use Qt, you might as well use the platform's Mir support, to avoid running in XMir22:18
tedg_mterry: How are you getting "ubuntumirclient" in your snap?22:18
tedg_That's not gonna be in the upstream's Qt.22:19
mterrytedg_: OK...  I'm getting what you're saying, but I still feel like there's a case we're not considering, or that this is too many assumptions...  I'll sleep on it, maybe I'm not thinking about it fully22:20
tedg_mterry: I just feel like we need to have a carrot to say "do it right" or we'll never get apps that do it right.22:21
tedg_Why would they?22:21
=== salem_ is now known as _salem
dobeymterry: i think for that case they want a kiosk anyway, and not unity822:55
dobeyeither you want to integrate with the system, or you want to build your own system22:56
