oSoMoNtsdgeos, is bug #1654974 still affecting you?12:21
ubot5bug 1654974 in webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) "webbrowser-app locks up my session (zesty)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/165497412:21
tsdgeoslet me see12:21
tsdgeosoSoMoN: there's your answer :D12:26
tsdgeosyes, it still locks me up12:26
tsdgeosfood, bbl12:26
oSoMoNtsdgeos, ack, thanks12:27
greybackoSoMoN: I tried it here, no lock-up for me12:28
oSoMoNinteresting12:30
oSoMoNgreyback, tsdgeos: I upgraded to zesty yesterday, so I’ll test it myself12:30
greybackmight be gpu specific12:31
=== _salem is now known as salem_
tsdgeosgreyback: probably?13:07
greybacktsdgeos: probably??13:50
tsdgeosgreyback: i mean could be lots of other things (the webbrowser-app crash)13:51
greybacktsdgeos: yeah, it only one of many possibilities13:56
shakes808Hello all,  I just seen this article from someone in the office: https://goo.gl/sHDTe4  Is Touch in the same boat or is it more secure?14:57
dobeywould have to know exact details of how each attack works on android 4.4 and 5.1 to say for sure14:58
shakes808Yeah, those details are going to be a little more difficult to find.  How close is Android to Ubuntu?  I know they are both built from Linux.14:59
dobeythe ubuntu phone/tablet images have to use android for the kernel and drivers to get the hardware to work. the android services bits that are needed are in a container though15:00
shakes808interesting.15:01
shakes808thank you dobey15:02
dobeyso in some ways it is more secure, but ubuntu phone/tablet images don't yet have encrypted storage support, so in some ways not as secure. and it will depend on specific attacks on whether it's protected against or not15:05
dobeyi think a lot of the attacks are actually malware that has to be installed in android though15:05
mterrytedg: I'm testing UAL on deb-based-unity8 some more and see more examples of missing icons.  For example, "Brightness & Lock" uses an icon name of "system-lock-screen" -- this is stored in the "actions" subfolder of most icon themes, but UAL only looks at the "apps" subfolder.  Do you want to grow the icon search to be more robust/complicated (more complete15:19
mterry.theme parsing etc), bandaid patch for now to add a couple common subfolders (actions, status), or what?15:19
tedgmterry: I think we probably need to grow it :-(  None of the toolkits exposed enough of their parsing that we could use it. So we're gonna have to grow our own.15:22
tedgmterry: FYI that is larryprice's code there, so good to ask him if you have questions.15:22
dobeymterry, tedg: we should probably patch those classic system settings things to not show up in unity8 perhaps.15:23
larrypricehmm thought i had fixed ual to recursively find app icons... though that could have just been desktop files15:24
mterrylarryprice: it's definitely got some smarts, just happens to not check theme dirs that aren't 'apps'15:25
larrypricemterry, o yeah that makes sense actually15:26
larrypricewouldn't be too difficult to add that in... i can look into it15:26
mterrylarryprice: OK that would be swell, probably faster for you than me, you know the code15:27
mterrylarryprice: I was using bug 1669913 for UAL icon issues in deb-u815:27
ubot5bug 1669913 in ubuntu-app-launch (Ubuntu) "Some app icons in zesty unity8 livecd aren't found" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/166991315:27
larrypricemterry, great thanks15:28
mterrylarryprice: I'm going through the icons I can see on my laptop that are missing.  So far I've seen icons that live in actions, places, mimes, mimetypes...  So yeah, looks like you need full index.theme parsing15:35
larrypricemterry, heh ouch15:36
larrypricemterry, tbh i was about to task switch so this was a great time for this problem to come up15:36
mterry:)15:37
shakes808For your phones and tablets, are there any more being built and sold or are they all going to be rooted from here on out?15:45
larrypricetedg, having trouble building u-a-l on zesty? i've installed the deps using mk-build-deps. https://paste.ubuntu.com/24139540/15:50
dobeyshakes808: that's a question for manufacturers to answer. we couldn't answer about unannounced devices in here, even if we knew. :)15:52
tedglarryprice: You need the glib in proposed, I thought it'd migrated by now (uploaded yesterday)15:55
shakes808dobey: :) HAHA gotcha.  I just see that they are all sold out ( tablets and phones ) on the website.  And I know a few years ago you had the Ubuntu Edge on Indigogo.  I was really looking forward to that.  Is that a completely dead project or is it still in development?15:55
tedglarryprice: But if you're just working on it you can ignore that failure15:55
larrypricetedg, heh ok15:55
dobeyshakes808: the edge didn't reach funding goal, so not happening15:55
shakes808:| that sucks.15:56
shakes808is there a possibility that something of that caliber will be released ever?15:56
larrypriceanything's possible15:57
dobeyno idea. we don't make hardwre here. :)15:58
larrypriceplenty of people seem to be interested in such a device, that's for sure15:58
larrypricemterry, do you think it's fine to continue to limit the theme dirs to those 4 (adwaita, humanity, gnome, hicolor)? or do you think we'll need to include everything...16:00
mterrylarryprice: for now it's fine I think, those are all reasonable fallbacks -- at some point we should actually respect theme16:01
mterrylarryprice: suru is notably missing...  but that's not really a fallback so much as a real theme16:02
larrypriceright - there seems to still be an open question of what "theme" will mean in a native unity8 world16:02
mterrylarryprice: we don't allow setting it...  but UAL could pick something up from env if it were set by unity8...  or notice it's in u8 and use suru...  Or just assume it's in u8 and use suru. not sure16:04
dobeylarryprice, mterry: bigger problem is there is no unity-settings-daemon running for apps started in xmir16:07
mterryI believe uitk just hardcodes icon lookup as suru16:13
dobeywell uitk hardocdes everything as suru16:17
dobeybut uitk apps will work under xcb qpa with different icon theme set, as long as the theme has the icons16:18
dobeyi think16:18
dobeyie under unity716:18
dobeybut x11 apps under xmir in unity8 are all a hodgepodge of themes. some are humanity, some are plain gtk. none of the Xatoms get set to make things work16:19
larrypricealthough it seems we can't limit ourselves to just "Applications" type icons, it seems a bit irresponsible to parse *all* the dirs... deciding which ones to skip seems a little arbitrary, though16:36
larrypricealthough i can now say with confidence all my icons are visible16:38
larrypriceand it didn't seem any slower16:38
dobeylarryprice: well, really, we should probabl actually follow the spec17:25
larrypricedobey, currently i'm "following the spec" as in iterating through the dirs listed in index.theme - not sure if the spec tells us which "types" are appropriate, since we were surprised to see "devices" and "places" icons used for apps17:26
larrypricefor reference: https://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html17:27
larrypricePlaces not even listed on freedesktop... /me sighs at liberal spec use17:28
dobeyplaces is listed in freedesktop17:31
larrypricei'll happily take a reference link if the one i posted is wrong/outdated17:33
dobeyhttps://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html17:33
dobeythe icon theme spec doesn't specify contexts17:33
dobeyor well, it doesn't specify all the contexts17:33
dobeyi mean, it doesn't list apps in the icon theme spec either in that section17:34
dobeythat whole subsection should just be removed from the icon theme spec17:34
dobeybut eh, whatever17:34
mterrylarryprice: if you want to get real fun, implement Inherits support and do recursive icon theme parsing17:42
larrypricealt i  could be a few minutes from finished with a working impl...17:43
larryprice:)17:43
dobeyor just use glib to do it17:45
dobeyinstead of re-implementing stuff with bugs :)17:45
larrypricei could limit the search to Applications, Devices, and Places, which seem to be the 3 contexts that apps use... that way we don't unnecessarily parse through MimeTypes, Emotes, International,  etc.17:46
mterrylarryprice: one app used "categories" too.  Another used mimes/mimetypes -- some icon themes had one or the other name for that17:47
dobeywell we aren't "parsing" them17:47
dobeywe're building a single file name and then testing if the file exists, for each directory17:47
larrypricemterry, ick ok - i'm just going to leave it alone at this point17:47
dobeyand most of these "apps" should be hidden in unity8 anyway i think17:48
larrypricemterry: wasn't sure whether to merge into your branch or main, so i chose main https://code.launchpad.net/~larryprice/ubuntu-app-launch/better-icon-themes/+merge/31935818:01
dobeylarryprice: i guess ICON_THEME_DIRS there should be in order of preference, with suru being first18:03
dobeysuru -> Humanity -> Adwaita -> gnome -> hicolor18:04
mterrylarryprice: if you implemented Inherits, you'd just need to specify suru  :P18:05
mterryI guess you'd miss Adwaita that way18:05
larrypriceso we do want to add suru?18:05
larrypriceeasy change18:05
mterrylarryprice: naw I was just joshing18:05
dobeywe don't want to find hicolor icons before everything else18:05
neeradCONFIG_USER_NS=y causes kernel compilation error how to solve this please18:07
mterrylarryprice: I don't mind you obsoleting my branch at all  :)18:07
larrypriceok so i'll reorder the list as above (good idea), including the addition of suru?18:09
* larryprice doesn't know much about which themes trump one another18:09
dobeyhicolor is meant to be the ultimate fallback; there should never be anything checked after it18:10
dobeyi'm not sure we would even have Humanity in the list at all there, but with it, the ordering i suggested above seems correct18:11
dobeylarryprice: you can also just have the theme names in that list, and just put "icons" as the argument before that value, in g_build_filename18:12
larrypricedobey, we're on the same page - i just pushed up a change doing that :)18:13
neeradconstant bootloop19:08
mterrytedg: using silo 2531 (not sure if it's this silo -- will downgrade in sec to test), a second app launch in unity8 takes down unity819:09
mterryoh yeah hard to downgrade out of stable overlay19:10
mterrycan build from trunk19:10
tedgmterry: I think it's just XMir and U8 -- they're not really friends right now.19:19
mterrytedg: I'll start looking into why -- do you have any background on that?  presumably out of my graphics-knowledge league19:28

MIkeTheWolf83Hi there I am trying to install Ubuntu on a Alacatel One Touch pop c119:39
MIkeTheWolf83anyone can tell me if that is possible???19:40
MIkeTheWolf83It is possible to install Ubuntu on a Alacatel One Touch pop c1?????????19:41
OerHeksMIkeTheWolf83, i see no port here .. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices19:44
MIkeTheWolf83Ok thanks but even if there is no port it is possible????19:45
mimecaryou must use a port in order to install ubuntu touch19:46
mimecarwith not ports, you can't19:46
OerHeksIf you start a port, maybe you can.19:47
mimecarthe other option is create a new port...19:47
OerHeksPorting is not that easy, https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/phone/devices/porting-new-device/19:49
MIkeTheWolf83thanks everyone I quite understand19:53
MIkeTheWolf83do not think I could create a new port19:53
MIkeTheWolf83I just asked because the matter is very interesting and have that phone with no use and wanted to experiment19:54
