Doc_ | Hi all, I'm getting ready to flash Ubuntu on my Nexus 7 (2013) wi-fi tablet and I was wondering if it would be difficult to keep Android as another OS dual-boot/multi-boot into. | 04:53 |
---|---|---|
Doc_ | *to boot into | 04:54 |
Doc_ | People do it all the time on custom ROM images don't they? Would I just need a custom recovery like TeamWin Recovery Project? | 04:55 |
Doc_ | I should have read this first :( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/DualBootInstallation Oh well. That kind of throws my Cardboard viewer out the window, but at least my keyboard layout will be supported | 05:14 |

jibel | JamesTait, bug 1628040 but you found it apparently | 13:58 |
ubot5 | Error: Launchpad bug 1628040 could not be found | 13:58 |
ogra_ | i dont get how it can send invites for an event that isnt existing in my calendar | 13:59 |
kenvandine | mterry, i tested your unity8-desktop-session branch on zesty, works great! | 14:15 |
kenvandine | trust prompts work and all! | 14:15 |
kgunn | kenvandine: on snap? or classic? | 14:19 |
* kgunn assume classic? | 14:19 | |
kenvandine | classic | 14:19 |
kenvandine | mterry, i went ahead and created a silo for it | 14:20 |
mterry | kenvandine: thanks! | 14:21 |
kenvandine | silo 2636 | 14:21 |
mterry | kenvandine: it's a bit of a big-hammer solution, but should only be temporary | 14:21 |
kenvandine | mterry, thank you for fixing it! | 14:21 |
kenvandine | yeah... it's a safe fix | 14:21 |
TartanSpartan | Hi does anyone have experience editing desktop application files within a container on UT? | 14:21 |
TartanSpartan | I'm trying to give the gnome printer application a real icon. | 14:22 |
dobey | TartanSpartan: "real icon" ? | 14:30 |
TartanSpartan | Anyone with experience of that? | 14:34 |
dobey | TartanSpartan: "real icon" ? | 14:34 |
TartanSpartan | Look at the printer icon on Ubuntu whatever version, Unity, GNOME shell etc. That one. | 14:35 |
TartanSpartan | Now, if you have the "Printers" application installed on UT devices, it's totally blank. | 14:36 |
TartanSpartan | It shows a greyscale version of the Unity icon, which obviously isn't correct. | 14:37 |
dobey | TartanSpartan: is "humanity-icon-theme" installed in your container? | 14:38 |
TartanSpartan | I'll check that. | 14:39 |
TartanSpartan | It is indeed. | 14:40 |
taiebot | When are we likely to see the new unav version ? https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/2578 | 14:46 |
TartanSpartan_ | I might have missed messages posted since 14:42? | 14:49 |
TartanSpartan_ | Any advice, dobey? | 14:51 |
dobey | TartanSpartan_: hmm, don't know. i think it should be using the icon from that theme and from the container. could maybe be a bug perhaps | 14:52 |
=== Jucato_ is now known as Jucato | ||
TartanSpartan_ | Would I be right in thinking that all the other desktop apps e.g. Firefox have a set size of icon say 128x128? Or do you think the size can vary? | 14:56 |
dobey | icons from themes can vary in size depending on where the icon gets used; i don't recall the exact specifics of how icons are loaded in the version of stuff on the phone though | 14:58 |
TartanSpartan_ | Hmm ok. This is actually the M10 though. | 14:59 |
dobey | right. phone/tablet. | 15:00 |
TartanSpartan_ | I think I'll try and duplicate the range of icons on it, exactly as in the desktop installation, so hopefully the symbolic link of "Icon=printer" will pick up on one of them and load it. | 15:01 |
TartanSpartan_ | Think that'll work? | 15:06 |
dobey | i would think if you have the theme installed, it already has the necessary sizes for the icon in it | 15:13 |
dobey | TartanSpartan_: do you know which iconf file exactly is being loaded? | 15:13 |
TartanSpartan_ | iconf? Your typo I guess. | 15:15 |
TartanSpartan_ | I dunno which file is being loaded and not sure how I would check that. | 15:15 |
dobey | TartanSpartan_: how about a screenshot of the icon as shown in the scope then? | 15:16 |
TartanSpartan_ | Ok, how would I share that on IRC? | 15:16 |
dobey | upload it to imgur or somewhere and paste the link to it after uploaded | 15:17 |
TartanSpartan_ | I'll see how that goes, bear with me. | 15:18 |
TartanSpartan_ | Here we go: | 15:22 |
TartanSpartan_ | http://imgur.com/a/UTKvg | 15:22 |
TartanSpartan_ | So I'm in the process of migrating all files and programs from the "More Desktop Apps" container to the other one "Desktop Apps". | 15:23 |
TartanSpartan_ | As you can see in "MDA" I experimented with one of the Nautilus icons to see if it could link to the printer icon, but no dice. | 15:24 |
dobey | oh it's showing the now icon image. hrmm | 15:25 |
dobey | ChrisTownsend: ^^ why is this? | 15:25 |
TartanSpartan_ | Let me check the path I specified for it... | 15:26 |
dobey | i need to get lunch now | 15:27 |
TartanSpartan_ | Yeah dobey, the path to the icon for Nautilus, I respecified to /home/phablet/Pictures/printer,png | 15:31 |
TartanSpartan_ | *.png, no comma | 15:32 |
TartanSpartan_ | i.e. the same one I specified for the printer program. | 15:32 |
TartanSpartan_ | Please let me know when you get back from lunch :) | 15:33 |
TartanSpartan | I'm back, let me know if I missed anything. | 15:49 |
TartanSpartan | Back again. | 16:11 |
ryanleesipes | Hello TartanSpartan | 16:12 |
TartanSpartan | Hey. Were you following my earlier inquiry? | 16:12 |
dobey | TartanSpartan: is that printer.png in your home on the root, or inside the container? | 16:14 |
TartanSpartan | Root. | 16:15 |
dobey | it needs to be in the container | 16:16 |
TartanSpartan | Even though the rootfs mounts within the container? | 16:17 |
dobey | all of home is bind mounted in the container? i thought only some directories were | 16:18 |
TartanSpartan | Well, yeah some of the directories. | 16:18 |
TartanSpartan | I'll try moving it into the container and explicitly linking to it with a path in the desktop file. Bear with me. | 16:19 |
TartanSpartan | Didn't seem to work. This is my desktop file: | 16:34 |
TartanSpartan | http://imgur.com/a/enmYZ | 16:34 |
TartanSpartan | And yes I believe that path is an exact link to where I put the file in the container. | 16:34 |
CoderEurope | Qu. How do I check if my sd card is recognised on command line ? | 16:35 |
ChrisTownsend | TartanSpartan: dobey: The Libertine Scope gets icons from ubuntu-app-launch, which I believe, honors absolute paths for icons. | 16:39 |
ChrisTownsend | So if the icon is not showing, I suspect there may be some bug in u-a-l?? | 16:39 |
dobey | TartanSpartan: no, the full path has to be as if the container is / | 16:39 |
dobey | TartanSpartan: also for pasting text, paste.ubuntu.com might be better option than screenshots :) | 16:40 |
TartanSpartan | So can you specify an optimal path in that case? I'm sorry but I don't quite get it. | 16:40 |
CoderEurope | sans/command line/terminal | 16:41 |
dobey | TartanSpartan: Icon=/usr/share/... | 16:41 |
TartanSpartan | Ahh, I see what you mean. Brb! | 16:43 |
dobey | really the standard Icon=printer should work for that though | 16:44 |
TartanSpartan | Yay, that worked! Thanks a lot :) | 16:44 |
TartanSpartan | Now, I dunno if anyone knows how to give hplip a full list of printer drivers on UT...? | 16:51 |
golden_ticket | Hey is the Meizu PRO 5 ubuntu edition functional in the US? | 16:57 |

=== _salem is now known as salem_ | ||
TartanSpartan | I ask again, does anyone here actually own a Meizu Pro 5? | 17:04 |
CoderEurope | Question,How do I check if my micro sd card is recognised in terminal on UTouch ? | 17:05 |
TartanSpartan | ls /media/phablet try that | 17:07 |
CoderEurope | just says 48E5-8975 ? | 17:09 |
TartanSpartan | That should be your SD card. | 17:09 |
CoderEurope | how do I put stuff in it to check ? | 17:09 |
TartanSpartan | What is it formatted as? FAT32? | 17:10 |
CoderEurope | ext2 | 17:10 |
CoderEurope | how do I put stuff in it to check ? | 17:10 |
TartanSpartan | Ah, see unfortunately, I don't think UT can accept ext2 devices. | 17:10 |
CoderEurope | how do I put stuff in it to check ? | 17:11 |
TartanSpartan | Google that to check but I think it can only be FAT32 unless other people can correct me on that point? | 17:11 |
CoderEurope | how do I put stuff in it to check ? | 17:11 |
CoderEurope | can I take a picture & put it on the micro sd card for example ? | 17:12 |
TartanSpartan | I don't think so. Reformat the drive as FAT32 if you can. | 17:12 |
CoderEurope | I think it is okay - I didnt get an error message on startup - I just want to transfer a file (pic video whatever) to my micro sd card to check - how do I do that exactly ? | 17:13 |
TartanSpartan | I haven't used an EXT2 formatted card before, so I'm not sure. Someone else on IRC might know or if not then just Google "EXT2 micro sd card ubuntu touch". | 17:14 |
CoderEurope | So lemme get this right - you dont know how to transfer a *single* media file to the micro sd card on the ubuntu phone , right ? | 17:15 |
TartanSpartan | Yes because as I've said I've never used EXT2 on my devices. | 17:17 |
TartanSpartan | http://askubuntu.com/questions/739915/auto-mount-sd-card-formatted-as-ext4-on-ubuntu-touch | 17:17 |
dobey | CoderEurope: only VFAT (not exFAT) formatted SD cards will be auto-mounted | 17:17 |
CoderEurope | okay well lets says it is FAT32 - you still dont know how to transfer a *single* media file to the sd card from the ubuntu touch device, right ? | 17:18 |
dobey | CoderEurope: well, cp in terminal, or use file manager app | 17:18 |
TartanSpartan | Well sure I do in that case. | 17:19 |
dobey | for ext you have to mount it manually, but once mounted copying data to it should be the same | 17:19 |
TartanSpartan | Can you even go into the card in file manager and see it's files and folders? | 17:19 |
CoderEurope | ut when I type "file manager" into the ubuntu touch -I get nothing ? | 17:19 |
CoderEurope | **but when | 17:19 |
dobey | type it where? | 17:19 |
CoderEurope | on the third panel in the main scopes part after pressing the oramnge button. | 17:20 |
dobey | https://uappexplorer.com/app/com.ubuntu.filemanager | 17:20 |
dobey | well i guess you mean some scope, but i don't know which one you mean. it should say which scope it is at the top though | 17:21 |
dobey | and i don't know if filemanager was installed by default on whatever device you have or not | 17:22 |
golden_ticket | Is there any way to install ubuntu on the galaxy s7? | 17:22 |
golden_ticket | er | 17:22 |
golden_ticket | galaxy s7 active | 17:22 |
dobey | !devices | golden_ticket | 17:22 |
ubot5 | golden_ticket: You can find the full list of devices, official images, community images, and works in progress at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices | 17:22 |
TartanSpartan | You might also want to install the desktop file manager Nautilus which is better than the mobile file manager app, but one step at a time. | 17:22 |
CoderEurope | golden_ticket: http://forum.ubports.com | 17:22 |
TartanSpartan | CoderEurope what device are you using? | 17:23 |
CoderEurope | E5 | 17:23 |
TartanSpartan | Ah ok. | 17:23 |
CoderEurope | how do I copy and paste in file manager ? | 17:24 |
dobey | if it's possible, i would guess long press would open a menu | 17:24 |
CoderEurope | well I can create folders - so I guess it is okay | 17:27 |
golden_ticket | CoderEurope, thanks | 17:28 |
TartanSpartan | dobey, I've deleted a few files before using Nautilus but I probably shouldn | 17:28 |
TartanSpartan | 't have. You know? Because it doesn't have a Trash bin set up? | 17:28 |
TartanSpartan | So files aren't necessarily deleted but just disappear somewhere off into ether... and that somewhere might still be on the device. | 17:29 |
TartanSpartan | *the ether | 17:29 |
dobey | no if trash doesn't work the files should just get deleted i would think | 17:30 |
dobey | but trash should work i guess | 17:30 |
TartanSpartan | I figured you would have Nautilus on your own devices, no? | 17:31 |
CoderEurope | I need VPn on my device - I looked at this : http://ow.ly/QsXv30aeqQ6 but got a bit lost - anyone know of any VPN providers ? | 17:31 |
golden_ticket | CoderEurope, use VPN gate | 17:32 |
TartanSpartan | For my VPN I use Premiumize.me's Netherlands servers, very effective. | 17:32 |
golden_ticket | Free vpn that is compatible with openvpn | 17:32 |
TartanSpartan | dobey, can I ask what apps you've installed via Libertine? | 17:37 |
dobey | TartanSpartan: none. i don't have an m10 | 17:38 |
CoderEurope | TartanSpartan: It is asking for my friggin' phone number !!!! I dont wabnt the bank top know my phone nuimbner !!! | 17:39 |
dobey | so i haven't tried to use nautilus in it | 17:39 |
dobey | i don't even really use nautilus that much on my workstation | 17:39 |
TartanSpartan | CoderEurope, I don't remember having to use my phone number for payment verification, maybe it's changed since then, sorry. | 17:41 |
CoderEurope | Fail ! | 17:41 |
dobey | relax | 17:42 |
CoderEurope | blood outta a stone ! | 17:42 |
TartanSpartan | dobey, so you don't feel like using desktop apps on your phone with a mouse and keyboard attached? | 17:42 |
TartanSpartan | Wow, what an ungrateful guy. | 17:42 |
dobey | TartanSpartan: not really no. | 17:42 |
dobey | yeah | 17:43 |
TartanSpartan | I know it seems a bit pointless e.g. on my MX4, when I have two Ubuntu desktop machines, my M10 and even some RPis which run Libre Office etc. | 17:44 |
dobey | sorry man, i'm not going to shopping around for a vpn that meets your requirements for you, because you're too lazy to do it :) | 17:44 |
TartanSpartan | Still, good for an emergency situation perhaps. | 17:44 |
TartanSpartan | When I get a Pro 5 with wireless convergence, that will be more useful. | 17:46 |
TartanSpartan | Bye for now everyone | 18:10 |
