fareast | how many android apps have a port on here | 02:48 |
fareast | I am not using ubuntu but am using elementary and I think it is like the same thing right? | 02:49 |
fareast | In all honesty should I be running an android emulator | 02:49 |
fareast | what is going to get me the best experience from a linux machine as far as apps? | 02:50 |
fareast | I am looking for using it as a desktop option | 02:50 |
fareast | I currently love windows 10 and see nothing wrong with it although I don't like how unpersonal windows has become it is just too easy especially if you work in IT | 02:50 |
Bashing-om | fareast: Better to ask in ##linux . | 02:51 |
fareast | thanks for the response | 02:51 |
fareast | see you guys later | 02:51 |
EriC^^ | morning all | 05:46 |
ducasse | good morning | 05:52 |
EriC^^ | hey ducasse o/ | 06:17 |
EriC^^ | how are you? | 06:17 |
ducasse | hi EriC^^, all good here. you? | 06:21 |
EriC^^ | good thanks | 06:22 |
ducasse | any plans for the day? :) | 06:23 |
EriC^^ | plan to do a little coding for some script now | 06:24 |
EriC^^ | i want to add a "top useful comments" to the right side of youtubextras.com | 06:24 |
EriC^^ | what about you? | 06:25 |
ducasse | not sure, maybe i'll try to finish a few chapters of the python book. i was also given an external disk a while back i've been planning to encrypt and write a backup script for. | 06:27 |
ducasse | plus a udev trigger, so i just need to plug it in. | 06:27 |
EriC^^ | cool | 06:30 |
EriC^^ | i want to right a udev script or maybe a keyboard shortcut for the hdmi plug out/plug in, sometimes it doesn't switch back to laptop output | 06:30 |
ducasse | either should be quite easy, udev rule would be nicer | 06:32 |
EriC^^ | yup | 06:32 |
ducasse | is 'xrandr --auto' enough to fix it when this happens? | 06:33 |
EriC^^ | the screen works properly, the sound doesn't switch sometimes though | 06:37 |
EriC^^ | sometimes it switches, then when i logout and back in it'll go back to hdmi, it's kind of odd | 06:38 |
ducasse | right, that sounds weird. maybe there are log messages from pulse? | 06:40 |
EriC^^ | that's a good idea, i'll check it out | 06:40 |
EriC^^ | hey immu | 06:59 |
lordievader | Good morning | 07:22 |
EriC^^ | morning lordievader o/ | 07:22 |
lordievader | Hey EriC^^, how are you? | 07:25 |
EriC^^ | good thanks, what about you? | 07:26 |
immu | how are you doing? | 07:27 |
ducasse | \o lordievader | 07:27 |
immu | lordievader, good morning | 07:27 |
immu | hi ducasse | 07:27 |
EriC^^ | immu: good thanks, how are you? | 07:27 |
lordievader | Doing good here :) | 07:28 |
lordievader | Hey immu | 07:29 |
immu | had my breakfast and taking with my sister on skype :) you all | 07:30 |
BluesKaj | howdy all | 12:09 |
brunch_ | mornin' Blueskaj | 12:09 |
BluesKaj | 'Morning brunch_ | 12:11 |
brunch | I installed unity | 12:24 |
brunch | don't try to stop me | 12:24 |
brunch | aaaah I missed it much | 12:29 |
brunch | it's the best DE, don't understand the hate :( | 12:29 |
TJ- | It's terrible on high-res and multi-monitor systems | 12:31 |
brunch | I'm on high-res on a multi-monitor setup | 12:34 |
brunch | :s | 12:34 |
TJ- | I have 6 hi-res monitors; unity is unusuable on this setup. It gets in the way, puts applications on the wrong monitor, doesn't figure out the correct res for maximised windows on a single monitor, and other issues | 12:35 |
brunch | oh I just use the big screen attached to my laptop | 12:36 |
TJ- | And that sidebar launcher thing always gets in the way, or pops out when I move to a monitor on the left, or it sometimes would grab the mouse and prevent it moving to the left monitor | 12:38 |
TJ- | the problem with unity was it's origins was in creating a GUI for phones/tablets and then forcing hi-res desktops to use the same layout, which simply doesn't scale properly for hi-res systems (forcing app menu's to the single top taskbar for example - until revolt forced the intro of the option to prevent that) | 12:39 |
daftykins | brunch: heh you're only delaying the inevitable | 12:50 |
TJ- | I solved the PSX controller missing buttons issue - turned out both devices I was testing with (a dualshock 2 and a dance-mat) had hardware failures (broken traces on their flexible ribbons). I had more of those devices stored away and fetched them and everything works fine | 12:56 |
TJ- | So I wasted almost a day thinking there was a problem with the evdev/libinput stuff | 12:56 |
daftykins | oof. | 13:19 |
immu | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piyUrLFvVUw | 14:11 |
immu | EriC^^, hi ducasse BluesKaj :) | 14:12 |
oerheks | nice video immu | 14:40 |
oerheks | .. especially the universal access menu .. still watching | 14:41 |
oerheks | cursor size, nice | 14:42 |
nicomachus | immu: what Telegram app was that? | 14:49 |
nicomachus | just a desktop client from Telegram itself? | 14:49 |
oerheks | snap i guess | 14:52 |
oerheks | telegram-sergiusens ? | 14:52 |
immu | i am not sure as i didn't make the videos | 14:53 |
immu | but you will get it in the app store | 14:53 |
nicomachus | well I'm using an app called Franz that wraps Telegram in with a lot of others, I was going to recommend it. Haha | 14:55 |
EriC^^ | hey immu | 14:55 |
immu | hey | 14:58 |

immu | lotuspsychje, thats lovely thnx | 16:33 |
lotuspsychje | was pretty decent | 16:33 |
immu | nice backyard :) | 16:33 |
ducasse | the skies look a lot darker irl, bad camera on that phone | 16:36 |
ducasse | lotuspsychje: not heard of it, french movies don't get much coverage here | 16:37 |
lotuspsychje | ducasse: i see | 16:40 |
lotuspsychje | ducasse: nordic and english then? | 16:40 |
ducasse | yup, mostly. | 16:43 |
ducasse | i saw a poster for 'it' today, will probably go see that. | 16:44 |
lotuspsychje | ducasse: lets hope its gonna be better then dark tower :p | 16:45 |
lotuspsychje | ducasse: is it totaly new, or the remake of the old one? | 16:45 |
lotuspsychje | hey BluesKaj | 16:45 |
BluesKaj | hi lotuspsychje | 16:46 |
ducasse | lotuspsychje: remake, aiui | 16:47 |
lotuspsychje | i guess !wayland might need a remake soon also | 16:47 |
lotuspsychje | !wayland | 16:47 |
ubot5` | Wayland is a display server protocol that is intended to replace X. More information can be found at http://wayland.freedesktop.org/ . Ubuntu is instead focusing on development of !Mir; see its factoid for more information. | 16:47 |
ducasse | ouch | 16:48 |
lotuspsychje | rip mir :p | 16:48 |
ducasse | hi BluesKaj :) | 16:48 |
BluesKaj | hey ducasse | 16:48 |
BluesKaj | I've been wondering about wayland, and the good news is there's work progressing towards nvidia support for it | 16:50 |
lotuspsychje | BluesKaj: work in wich way you know? | 16:52 |
BluesKaj | don't ask me were i saw that,m but it's nvidia linux devs afaik | 16:52 |
BluesKaj | where | 16:53 |
ducasse | BluesKaj: do you know what the actual problem is/has been? just reluctance? | 16:54 |
BluesKaj | yes, thaink they needed a kick in the butt to get moving on wayland support ...probly just "benign neglect" | 16:55 |
ducasse | laziness, in other words :) | 16:55 |
BluesKaj | yup | 16:56 |
BluesKaj | think it was on one of the fedora project pages or one of it's developers blogs | 16:58 |
BluesKaj | well I'm off to to some yardwork for a couple hrs ...BBL | 17:01 |
lotuspsychje | laterz | 17:01 |
ducasse | don't think i've seen a "how do i configure this?" wayland question before in #ubuntu, in many ways i'm not looking forward to them | 17:01 |
lotuspsychje | lol | 17:01 |
lotuspsychje | wouldnt know where to start | 17:02 |
ducasse | well, i've played with it for a while, and there are plenty of things i know how to do in x11 that is just completely missing | 17:03 |
lotuspsychje | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_(display_server_protocol) | 17:04 |
lotuspsychje | lets c lol | 17:04 |
lotuspsychje | jesus thats some heavy stuff | 17:05 |
ducasse | tl;dr | 17:09 |
ducasse | so, stuff like hidpi and resolutions, for example - is that up to the individual compositors to handle? | 17:10 |
lotuspsychje | i have no idea ducasse | 17:10 |
ducasse | looks like it, from the little i can find | 17:14 |
lotuspsychje | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Wayland_problems | 17:18 |
ducasse | good find :) i'm on the arch wiki myself, always my first stop :) | 17:19 |
lotuspsychje | hey EriC^^ | 17:23 |
daftykins | mmm that wiki situation is a sad one | 17:26 |
ducasse | meep-meep! | 17:26 |
daftykins | seemed like such a minefield every time i tried to improve a 'buntu page, though | 17:26 |
* lotuspsychje_ hates lags grrr | 17:28 | |
=== lotuspsychje_ is now known as lotuspsychje | ||
lotuspsychje | i posted the mms prob on a belgium provider forum | 17:32 |
daftykins | ah har | 17:32 |
daftykins | 90% of replies "so that's the guy that uses MMS" :D | 17:32 |
lotuspsychje | a guy posted his mms settings | 17:32 |
lotuspsychje | and their all the same, so probably its provider block somehow | 17:33 |
daftykins | hrmm, yeah definitely a weird one! although i once had a quirk with a telco in England where texts wouldn't send and i'd get charged, it was because the SIM had an incorrect "message service center" built in | 17:35 |
daftykins | the phone i had at the time had no way to change that, so i had to just pop into the telco shop and get a newer SIM | 17:35 |
daftykins | not sure if the age of SIM is relevant to your client | 17:36 |
lotuspsychje | aha thats an idea daftykins | 17:36 |
lotuspsychje | they sent the new simcard through the mail | 17:36 |
ducasse | EriC^^: here we go, silvian returns... | 17:36 |
immu | lotuspsychje, ask your carrier to msg you the settings to your phone | 17:36 |
immu | install and reboot | 17:36 |
lotuspsychje | ducasse: troll? | 17:36 |
daftykins | yeah settings aren't gonna help | 17:37 |
lotuspsychje | daftykins: the weird thing was, on the phone apn settings there was a whole list of apn's | 17:38 |
daftykins | yeah usually android handsets just guess and you have to pick (but only for data) | 17:38 |
ducasse | lotuspsychje: "i know *everything*", except he really doesn't | 17:38 |
lotuspsychje | ducasse: uh-oh | 17:38 |
daftykins | mine only has my data one, then the mms one | 17:38 |
lotuspsychje | daftykins: this provider is a 'branch' of another bigger provider, perhaps they block new customers of same settings? | 17:40 |
lotuspsychje | i had this with my phone once | 17:40 |
lotuspsychje | main provider had to enter some number in router, but they took too long to do it | 17:41 |
lotuspsychje | so phone didnt work | 17:41 |
EriC^^ | hey lotuspsychje daftykins ducasse | 17:41 |
EriC^^ | immu | 17:41 |
daftykins | \o | 17:41 |
EriC^^ | lotuspsychje: i watched pirates of the carribean today, it was kind of fun | 17:42 |
daftykins | lotuspsychje: ooooh is it an MVNO perhaps? mobile virtual network operator, use anothers' equipment but operate on their own | 17:42 |
immu | what EriC^^ ? | 17:42 |
immu | i watched wonder woman? | 17:42 |
immu | lotuspsychje, which phone you got? | 17:43 |
lotuspsychje | daftykins: not really, its a new existing provider, but also uses same dsl lines in belgium | 17:43 |
lotuspsychje | immu: i got ubuntu aquarius 4.5 | 17:43 |
lotuspsychje | immu: but this mms problem is on a galaxy A3 2017 | 17:43 |
daftykins | can't remember, did touch die entirely on phone? | 17:44 |
lotuspsychje | daftykins: updates stopped on july 2017 | 17:45 |
daftykins | and that's it forever more? | 17:45 |
lotuspsychje | but im still using it atm | 17:45 |
lotuspsychje | daftykins: i should install the ubports image now | 17:45 |
lotuspsychje | that projects continues the job | 17:46 |
lotuspsychje | #ubports | 17:46 |
daftykins | nicomachus: oh i read a claim that oreo is using mobile data even with wifi on and connected, but i always turn mobile data off manually so i've no idea if it's true :D | 17:46 |
lotuspsychje | daftykins: also turnoff data myself | 17:46 |
daftykins | i only pay for 500MB/month :) | 17:47 |
lotuspsychje | i got prepaid, 50 euro for few months | 17:48 |
