[00:05] @wayneoutthere, Thanks [00:11] @Schyken, yes. she knows she is bad. knowing is half the battle. [00:26] Project daily-hammerhead build #342: SUCCESS in 12 min: http://ci.ubports.com/job/daily-hammerhead/342/ [00:28] Project ota-push build #1120: SUCCESS in 2 min 0 sec: http://ci.ubports.com/job/ota-push/1120/ [00:36] QQ: Does "legacy" mean the device isn't going to get the 16.04 update? Specifically the N4 [00:36] yes [00:36] That's what it means [00:37] πŸ‘ [00:38] @UniversalSuperBox, πŸ‘Ž [00:38] It's been a long while since I've been in here... Is the OPO 100% or does it still have some issues with bluetooth and camera? I think those were the sticking points... I can't remember... [00:39] Camera works, but Bluetooth has issues across the board. Any specific issue you were thinking of? [00:39] And yeah I saw it's marked 100% on the website but I also remember there was some discussion about that... [00:40] Nothing specific, just trying to decide which device to pick up if I were to replace my N4. I suppose that's my question. [00:40] N5 seems to be very popular [00:41] The Nexus 5 has HDMI out so you can do convergence without the annoyance of Miracast [00:41] N5 is very popular, because it's a great phone comapred to newer phones at the same price [00:41] @Russ B, N6P even more popular. ;_; [00:41] I had an n6p. Didn't care for it. Not great battery and bent in my pocket. Twice. [00:42] But anywho, of the core devices Fairphone isn't really in my scope, so it was between the OPO and N5 [00:42] @Russ B, Wew. *_* [00:42] Since I know asking "what's the best xxx" is just flame bait [00:42] Like N5 used to be a very expensive phone but google subsidized it, so it was always $200, despite having specs of a $600 phone. the price hasn't dropped much because it still competes with $200 phones in most ways [00:44] But still, $200 is expensive in India. ;_; [00:48] @Zephoro, I want indian prices :( [00:48] Project ota-push-rc build #1: FAILURE in 0.93 sec: http://ci.ubports.com/job/ota-push-rc/1/ [00:48] @wayneoutthere, ;_; [00:49] You tried, ubports_bot. [00:49] Lol. [00:49] @UniversalSuperBox Where should I start with working on bullhead? [00:49] @UniversalSuperBox you were the one working on it right? [00:49] At one point. There's a Halium build now. [00:50] I can't test it because I need my 5X. [00:50] Oh, so I should start with their build? [00:50] Yes, but see these bugs... digs [00:50] bugs are just excuses to have more fun:D [00:50] t [00:50] u [00:50] https://github.com/Halium/projectmanagement/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20bullhead [00:50] if it weren't for bugs programming would be fast and easy [00:51] @Xorpad, True. [00:51] and if it was easy I wouldn't enjoy it [00:51] the reason I do the stuff I do is because it's hard and forces me to adapt and grow [00:51] What's your Github? [00:52] it's almost empty, because I have private stuff on gitlab, but my nick on github is zerorax, so I think it's github.com/zerorax [00:53] It's mostly stuff I don't care if people steal... All my stuff I want to use in my portfolio stays private [00:54] I wish I used github starting long ago, so that I wouldn't have lost my whole portfolio through a series of stupid mistakes [00:55] If i didn't lose all my code, i'd have 3 OS's, 2 competed and one a work in progress, and i'd have a c compiler [00:55] along with tons of random stuff I did as learning projects [00:56] I should make another C compiler... the world needs more C compilers(j/k) [00:57] Nah, needs faster Python interpreters though. :P [00:57] on my private gitlab i'm working on a 2.7 python -> arm elf binary compiler [00:58] Project ota-push-rc build #2: ABORTED in 8 min 16 sec: http://ci.ubports.com/job/ota-push-rc/2/ [00:58] which could make it's way into this project depending how devoted I get to it [00:58] But 2.7 though. :( [00:58] app programming in python would make building up an app market's selection faster and more contributiors [00:59] Dalton: 2.7 is stable, there will be no changes to the way it works [00:59] Yeah [00:59] 3.x is changing [00:59] it's not got a stable API [00:59] also, I defeated the GIL:P [01:00] Luckily the most fun parts of 3 also work in 2 [01:00] Except the bytes to unicode thing that I fail to understand 90% of the time [01:00] I prefer 2.7 personally. but 3 has some cool stuff in it [01:00] like f strings [01:01] I really don't see a reason to adopt 3, it's slower because everything is more abstracted [01:01] oh wait we're off topic [01:01] move to OT? [01:01] yup [01:32] Yippee, build fixed! [01:32] Project ota-push-rc build #3: FIXED in 5 min 36 sec: http://ci.ubports.com/job/ota-push-rc/3/ [01:32] Ya did it @mariogrip [01:35] Exciting things are happening πŸ€” [01:37] @UniversalSuperBox, YAY :D [01:37] @nfsprodriver, Rc weekly promotion [01:38] it works, now i can go to bed [01:38] The true reward [01:38] Yes! :D [01:38] Ah, okay. Just to mention (don't know why) my last hammerhead update had about 230MB. [01:39] devel? [01:39] Deltas are weird [01:39] (I updated recently to latest daily build before) [01:39] Yes. [01:40] Yeah, im aware for that, i need to add a check for changes to the android trings, since now it build them daily and since android is in a image the delta will just check the image file if that's different, and if it is, it will replace the whole file [01:41] (hint: it's always different) [01:41] I don't think Android is reproducible [01:41] so 4 days of detas is 55mb * 4 ish [01:42] but since android is so big, i need to find a smart way to check for differences [01:42] git? [01:42] yeah, but they are split across 100+ repos [01:43] `repo foreach`? [01:43] Maybe it could do something [01:43] yeah, but how can i compeare that to yesterdays build [01:44] could push all logs into a file, then next day to the same to another file and do a diff those two [01:44] anyway, bedtime :) [03:24] (Photo, 800x628) https://irc.ubports.com/17HHcPac/file_1001.jpg [03:24] lets try this again [03:28] @samzn, Is that Qt or GTK? [03:28] Electron :( [03:29] Ah k [03:29] Not as bad as GTK [04:01] Okay. I'm ready to work on something finally [04:15] is there any reason updating one of my new bullheads to oreo to check it out would mess with my ability to use ubport on it? [04:15] like does anything oreo OTA updates does to the phone mess things up? [04:16] does it have maybe like an incompatible bootloader or mess with hidden partitons ubports relies on? [04:28] Rumen Tsvetkov was added by: Rumen Tsvetkov [04:32] @Xorpad Might me better question on Halium group. [04:32] hello Rumen [04:32] sure @Ern_st [04:33] Hi all, can you tell me how to install ubports ubuntu touch on nexus 5 with multirom? [04:33] Multirom isnt supported [04:33] You can try efidroid [04:36] reviving and improving multirom is on the list of projects I plan to work on realted to this project [04:36] I already have the sources downloaded [04:36] is efidroid support nexus5? [04:36] but I haven't done much work on them yet [04:37] multirom supports nexus 5, but you need to do some hackish things to get ubports to work with it, I have an idea of how you could but I haven't tried doing it, it's just a got theoretical solution [04:37] ok, thanks. [04:38] I hope to get multirom working on all the nexus and pixel devices in the near future [04:38] I have most fo them already [04:39] Efidroid is likely more future proof [04:39] But any solution is welcome [04:40] samzn: but I like supporting EOL devices [04:41] Ya [04:41] Like, I don't think phones should stop getting support for much longer than the market gives them now [04:42] Efidroid should keep stable with any future paradigm shifts that might happen in the community [04:42] I'm also considering making my own bootloader to replace androids, and repartitoning one of my nexus 5's to have a more linux-like setup [04:42] While multirom needs constant maintenance [04:43] Would be dope if you manage to make your own aboot [04:43] Well, i know how to make it, I just haven't done it yet [04:43] bootloader for an arm system is the simplest thing I can think of doing that is realted to os dev [04:44] unlike x86 bootloaders [04:44] which are hard to make without using hackish tricks to bypass limitations imposed by the system [04:45] It's all ring 0 [04:45] yeah, and I've made my own multi-boot bootloader for my old raspberry pi to load my toy kernel [04:46] arm devices just boot the first data on the main storage device [04:46] unless they are uboot enabled [04:46] the reason I am not already doing it or done doing it, is because if I mess up I brick the device in question [04:47] If you have skill in bootloader development you should really contact @morpheus______ on twitter [04:47] why? [04:48] He's working alongside a team to finish the missing parts of the recently released XNU kernel on ARM [04:48] I see [04:49] Seems like the perfect chance to land a nice job at any tech firm with that in your portfolio [04:49] well, i've already got more plans for stuff to do for ubports than I can handle [04:50] Like, there's already dozens of things I want to do soon, and hundreds of things I'd like to do eventually [04:50] I know exactly how it is [04:50] Shame I'm overcumbered with work from university already [04:51] Like, while I was on the bus today, I was working on an algorithm to use dictionary based error prediction on the keyboad so we can make it more compact while not decreasing usability [04:51] I've not got it completely worked out, but it's half way there in terms of logic/pseudo code [04:52] with this, the keyboard could be made much smaller while still being easy to type accurately [04:52] by detecting how far from the key you pressed and the possibilities for which word you are trying to type [04:55] And maybe I'll add a feature where it learns a persons typing mistakes and tendencies to improve accuracy and correction over time with use [04:55] But I just don't like how bulky the current keyboard is, and it's easy to typo because there's nothing to improve accuracy [04:56] okay enough chatting, time to get to work [06:26] @Flohack The dots on a translation. Should they be like this in german: [...] gespeichert … … or [...] gespeichert... which is closer to the original and not a special char. [06:37] @twinkybot, Erm. Hu can you send me a link? I always put them without a blank TBH [06:53] @Flohack they are scattered all over. One example is messaging app - 105 ../src/qml/ComposeBar.qml:424 [06:54] @Flohack anything new with Telegram? when Supergroups will be supported? :P [06:55] @vanyasem, I have only 10 toes to step on ;) [06:55] @twinkybot, Well just judge by yourself, we do not have real guidelines for that. Or discuss it in the Localization forum =) [06:56] @vanyasem, Im a bit stuck now since the upgrade to Supergroups needs database changes, and an in-place db upgrader. I need to do this carefully to not break every devices db [06:56] @Flohack okay. Was doing anyways. Just wanted to be sure. [06:56] :) [06:56] :P [06:58] Just didn't want to be presumptuous [06:58] Nono you are part of the community, so you can shape it, too ^^ [07:01] Project click-import build #16: SUCCESS in 4.5 sec: http://ci.ubports.com/job/click-import/16/ [07:01] Project vivid-rootfs-armhf build #151: SUCCESS in 11 sec: http://ci.ubports.com/job/vivid-rootfs-armhf/151/ [07:01] Project ota-push build #1121: SUCCESS in 1 sec: http://ci.ubports.com/job/ota-push/1121/ [07:55] Hello everybody. I have a brief question. I heard, that one can choose between stable, RC und dev somewhere in the systemsettings. Where do I do that? [07:56] You can chose after updating from the initial install to the next version, it will add the option to chose an update channel [07:56] and then you can update to the latest images of that channel once you are able to select it [07:57] Ah alright. So it is an option at the next systemupdate. dont have to care about that for now. [07:57] Yes, unless you flashing using a tool that lets you select a channel to do your initial install from [07:58] like magic-device-tool, has the options to flash channels other than legacy, but they are commented out in all the scritps so you have to uncomment them [07:58] ok, thank you very much! [08:00] Good morning everyone. I have a few questions [08:01] M how are you and what is the questions? [08:02] First i want to know if there is any workaround for Tune In. And second, I am a bit stupid but with the Telegram app I am not seeing the UBports group online [08:02] Good good thanks. Ready to go to work [08:03] is the group different from this chat? I don't really know telegram other than that I installed it and got invited here [08:04] I have two groups in my telegram. None of them are showing in my N5 with telegram (I am now in another phone) [08:05] And there is not search in UBports yet I think [08:06] If I try to join from the web using the telegram group link does nothing [08:12] I use telegram on pc and android, i don't have it on touch [08:14] Touch I use for testing and playing around mostly [08:14] @M D, They are supergroups. Sadly we are still not supporting them in UT [08:19] Thanks for the rc7 [08:19] Thank you Florian :) . I appreciate your answer [08:19] Is there a change log? [08:21] One last last before I go. uNav is not working very well for me here in the CZ. Any plans to have the location services working in the browser? [08:21] (With google maps is not working for me) [08:22] Location service should work in the browser, just it takes ages to initialize sometimes [08:22] @kristijantkalec, Changelog for rc? no sorry [08:23] is there a change log for devel and stable? [08:23] Thank you I will keep trying. Have a great day everyone. [08:23] they seem like they should have one more than RC should [08:23] Project daily-fp2 build #360: SUCCESS in 13 min: http://ci.ubports.com/job/daily-fp2/360/ [08:23] devel so devs know what's changes, stable so users do [08:25] Project ota-push build #1122: SUCCESS in 1 min 18 sec: http://ci.ubports.com/job/ota-push/1122/ [08:27] @Flohack, Ok. Thanks for the answer. Can I see the progress somewhere? Github? [08:28] OTA-3 will be tracked here: https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/milestone/6 [08:28] Look then for the closed items coming up ;) [08:31] hi, is there a way to build twrp without an android build tree? [09:24] @Davy, OTA2 so the current version, rather than the next. The option is hidden away at the bottom, maybe to deter users who probably should stick with stable πŸ˜ƒ [09:25] @M D, It is a supergroup and those are not supported in the UBports app. You can see it in the web version though === allizom1 is now known as allizom [11:13] I've just tried to start an X app in a libertine container, however, the OSK is not opening. The OSK works with Libreoffice and Thunderbird but it doesn't open when starting iPython Qtconsole. Do you have a workaround for this issue? [11:23] @Guido, i think i lnow why, but cant test it now [11:24] u see libertine normally is used for gtk apps and osk integration is provided by maliit packages for gtk3 and gtk2 [11:24] but you are using qt [11:24] so u need to add maliit package for the qt and for the version u use [11:25] phone itself (Mir) uses modified version 5 of QT [11:29] for example for gtk if u wanted to run app on the phone directly not in Libertine, you would need to install these: … sudo apt-get -q -y installΒ maliit-inputcontext-gtk3 maliit-inputcontext-gtk2Β  [11:30] ypur app is in libertine and uses qt so tey finding maliit package that suits it [11:30] maliit-inputcontext-qt4 or something [11:30] just search and see what is available [11:31] sudo apt-cache search maliit-inputcontext-* [11:31] @KrisJacewicz, You don't need sudo for a cache search [11:32] true! === allizom1 is now known as allizom [11:41] (Photo, 1080x1920) https://irc.ubports.com/I3Kb0AZY/file_1003.jpg [11:41] To ser supergroup install web telegram [11:43] Ah, thanks for all the hints. I will try to install a qt version of maliit. If this does not work, there is also the option of a gtk console of ipyhton, I guess. [11:49] @Guido, that should worknout of the box. also u canninstall python in the phone directly not in Libertine or any other container and use qt there. [11:49] just check if u hv enough free space on your / partition [11:50] and finally let is know how things turned out [11:50] *us [11:50] Sure, I'll do. [12:33] @KrisJacewicz, OK. I've tried to install maliit-inputcontext-qt4. This didn't work, i.e., there is still no OSK. It seems that the qtconsole of ipython is using qt5!? I'll try to install directly on the phone now. I still need Xmir for that, right? [12:41] @Guido, actually no because you are not going to use gtk widgetset with it right? [12:42] python is a non-GUI program so yoi dont need anything, but u want to create gui front so phone running Mir has qt [12:42] you wont be able to install gtk and run it on Mir [12:42] Xmir will allow you to do that [12:42] IF you use gtk with your python [12:43] so depends on your choice: gtk+xmir or qt an mir [12:43] at least in theory [12:43] No, I think the GUI uses not gtk widgetset but qt. So, it should work without Xmir. [12:43] also if you do end up using gtk with your python instead of qt then it can also work in Libertine [12:44] also last problem with qt: UT uses slightly modified qt linbraries, hopefully python's qt bindings will work [12:45] But if I launch it directly on the phone, it requests an X server. [12:45] but why? [12:45] are you using xorg specific api?? [12:46] usually whennu are making gui app you just link it against specific widgetset not xorg or whatever [12:46] unless you specifically and on purpose do [12:46] then gtk has no Mir bindings (some beta works have been done) [12:46] so of your app uses gtk then u use xmir because it provides the bindings [12:47] if u ise qt that Mir has you dont need no xmir [12:47] I'm using the standard qtconsole extension of ipython available in the distros. [12:47] also xmir on UT has gtk but i dont think it has qt [12:47] i am still on the image from when Canonical still supported UT amd xmir does not have qt libraries [12:48] only gtk [12:48] I don't know what api they are using but I guess xorg. [12:48] @Guido, if you only use gtk api then u dont care about xorg [12:48] api links to widgetset layer [12:48] and it then handles it via xorg or other [12:48] To make things clearer, I've installed ipython-qtconsole using apt install on the phone (after making the image writable). [12:48] depending what is provided [12:49] unless u specifically call pure xorg api not widgetset api [12:49] ipython-qtconsole, do you know which qt version it links to? [12:49] try without xmir first [12:50] then if it doeant work means it is not compatible qt version [12:50] then u can try luck with xmir but i doubt it has qt bindings on the phone [12:50] even in Libertine it does not, you need to install it manually [12:50] Actually, I don't know. I guessed qt5. [12:50] I mean on my version of Libertine at least it was the case [12:51] When I launch ipyhton with the option qtconsole on the phone it reads ": cannot connect to X server". [12:51] Okay. [12:52] ok then that is the answer UT device qt is not compatible with python bindings [12:53] u can try xmir but likely it does not hv qt either [12:53] and finally the saddest part: IF you get qt on xmir matching version and your app starts, guess what [12:54] still need maliit context for that version of qt ;) [12:54] No, keyboard! [12:54] sorry but that is how these thingsnwork [12:55] personally i feel this is all very intereating but i think try finding maliit bindings matching your qt on linertine [12:55] or try using gtk instead [12:55] Project daily-mako build #135: SUCCESS in 12 min: http://ci.ubports.com/job/daily-mako/135/ [12:55] Sure, anyway, thanks for your help. I've seen that there is some gtkconsole solution for ipython. I guess that this is the way to go. [12:55] Project ota-push build #1123: SUCCESS in 1.5 sec: http://ci.ubports.com/job/ota-push/1123/ [12:56] erd option is a lot of workarounding and wizardry ;) [12:56] i really hope u figure the things out [12:57] and if u hv any problems with gtk msg me because i program all my gui apps in gtk and i run them directly on the phone with xmir [12:58] Okay, I'll do that.

[17:56] ahh, compiling gcc for arm on an arm dev board... this is gonna take forever [17:56] Like, I think it will take at least 10-15 hours to bootstrap [17:56] but if I do it on one of my powerful boxes I have to cross-compile so I can't bootstrap [17:57] and if I try to emuate it, qemu thows a fit [17:57] I can't use my zen boxes to build anything lol [17:57] 2 very expensive computers, and i'm using a 900mhz quad core arm [17:58] * xorpad suffers the slow agonizing wait to see if this compiles [17:59] I achieved nothing since I woke up... Like I did a lot of stuff that to prepare for various tasks so it saves time in the future, but I feel like I wasted the day [18:07] @Daniele Giacosa, You will not be able to buy an Ubuntu phone. None are available with it installed. What you can do is to buy a used phone of one of the models on the list and install Ubuntu Touch yourself [18:07] we'll get there @Stereofont [18:07] One day phones will ship with ubports touch [18:08] @xorpad, Ubuntu Touch ^^ [18:08] Yes that:D [18:08] Whatever it's called it'll be a hit and take over the market [18:19] hehe [18:20] Basically preinstallation is no goal at the moment, right, but making flashing easier will be a goal. So we think we will talk with various vendors to get support for quicker porting and testing, which will bring in more recent devices. No details on that right now, but its a mission goal :) [18:28] Flohack, before we can get brought to market, we need a solid stable API for app devleopment that we can release to developers to build up the app market [18:28] Symbian OS was awesome but it failed because it had almost no apps available [18:29] By having people use and develop for ubuntu touch now, hopefully we'll have a good app market in 6 or 8 years and be mature enough to be adopted by manufacturers [18:36] https://uxdesign.cc/re-designing-the-smartphone-dial-pad-2df226ec620f [18:46] oh wow, I didn't knew there was a html5 standalone whatsapp client for ubuntu touch [18:46] I have like 3 people who won't migrate over to telegram but they're key people [18:46] I guess I might use ubports daily :) [18:48] @samzn, I hate to be a party pooper, but loquiIM is very unstable. It works in some cases, but it's far from being a solution to the problem. [18:49] Don't get me wrong, it's great that it's there and the devs have done amazing work, but it's definitely not as snappy as whatsapp on other plattforms [18:49] https://media.giphy.com/media/26BkOdMrz4TW2STOo/giphy.gif [18:49] @way [18:50] @wayneoutthere My alarm clock is working on my Nexus 5, daily, but not on my dev phone Nexus 4 ;) [18:51] I had an issue yesterday that I've noticed my phone was boiling hot while charging [18:51] I can't reproduce what caused that, but I suspect it might be something running on the background [18:52] @harishsays, haha yeah, it's a nice sane idea [18:53] @xorpad, we had a similar naming problem over at the audiocast but now we are "Ubuntu Touch Audiocast" [18:54] I see [18:54] (Photo, 1280x450) https://irc.ubports.com/Lb7BW8Cv/file_1005.jpg [18:54] Okay, as long as I can still contribute code I don't care about the name [18:54] (Photo, 1280x1121) https://irc.ubports.com/KTAe06P8/file_1007.jpg [18:54] @Ern_st, wow! didn't know that. Must be N4 fail [18:55] @harishsays the general idea is to make it easier to use on a big screen with one hand [18:55] I'm getting my nexus 4 back from my friend tomorrow [18:55] so i can work on that branch too [18:55] @xorpad, bring on the code! Bring on the apps. [18:58] It's coming... i spent all day today preparing things... Like I'm set uo to build in tree, I have MultiROM touched up a bit and ready to test out, I am compiling gcc 7.2 for armv7, bootstapping it which requires an armv7 chip so you can imagine how slow that is... [18:58] @popescu_sorin, Half of that I'm into, I prefer the sliders on the left, I do like the circles on the bottom, but I dont like that they're circles, I think the circle's don't fit with the Ubuntu Phone Athestetic, but I like how they're on/of buttons then switches, they use a logo, etc [18:58] I built a few test builds of ubuntu touch builds to try out the build system [18:59] Been a busy but overall unproductive day, but tomorrow I'll be prepared to work on all the stuff I set up today === JanC is now known as Guest38427 === JanC_ is now known as JanC [19:01] @PhoenixLandPirate, yeah, it doesn't really matter that they are circle or square, the placement on the screen is important, i think apple has vertical sliders on iPhone? [19:01] (Photo, 800x707) https://irc.ubports.com/qXn11Dyg/file_1009.jpg [19:02] Cool UI [19:02] is that a Unity 8 theme? [19:02] iOS 11 [19:02] @popescu_sorin, That's an overload [19:02] ewwww iOS [19:02] X-) [19:03] @PhoenixLandPirate, indeed [19:03] we need to reverse engineer iOS and get ubuntu touch working on iPhones [19:03] um... no? [19:04] lol some guy just said I'm an idiot for compiling AOSP from source thinking I'm better than the engineers at google [19:04] obvious has no idea about compiling things or the android build process or... well anything to do with his statement [19:04] The ubuntu touch top bar has some indicators that most of the time is just wasting space [19:04] [14:57] or maybe just stick with Factory images for Nexus/Pixel line instead of thinking your smarter then Google Engineers and compiling your own [19:05] lulz, moron [19:06] I use newer compilers than android is meant to be built with and get amaizng performacne boosts... and AOSP is so much slimmer while still doing everything i need... Like i never respected the guy, but now I disrepect him [19:07] @ValkMeister, yep, lots of indicators with only one option [19:07] Yep, rotation-indicator xD [19:07] keyboard layout [19:08] location, although it also has settings [19:08] bluetooth [19:10] (Photo, 720x1280) https://irc.ubports.com/jqCCwjGM/file_1011.jpg [19:11] Even with some of them, stil weird. Perhaps some transparency ? [19:11] without* [19:16] @Stereofont, Ok, thanks... [19:16] @popescu_sorin, LOL can you please make it react on shaking the phone and then select a design randomly πŸ˜† [19:19] @Flohack, that's not my design, it's from that article posted before. i would just replace the dialer with maybe a contact list because 99.99% i don't use it. maybe when you launch the dialer app you should see a list contacts list and maybe the freq called numbers in an easily reachable place and the whole dialer just a button somewhere in the UI [19:20] Anyway, it needs shaking ^^ [19:21] yeah :D [19:21] talking about UX [19:22] i'm actually using Recent (bottom menu) for calls [19:22] like in the old times [19:23] contacts is hard to reach... and then i have to search [19:23] the dialer is just taking pointless pace [19:23] doing nothing [19:23] @popescu_sorin By the way did you notice that the core AppsΒ΄ lower swipe indicator is not standardized? I think we should do this one day [19:23] some have a different style and size [19:24] yeah. finger painting app has a nice bottom menu [19:25] (Photo, 768x1280) https://irc.ubports.com/ME21eQdY/file_1013.jpg [19:26] not sure who's making this app but he's a native UXer :)) [19:27] would be nice to make some fake apps to test some UX ideas [19:27] fake dialer01 [19:29] If you know how to do that, let me know? [19:35] @popescu_sorin, nonono. Shake Dialer πŸ˜† [19:35] @UniversalSuperBox, k :D [19:35] @wayneoutthere we have a new idea, core apps that when shaked are changing their behaviour [19:36] Like superenergetic cocktails ^^ [19:36] hmm Cocktail API? LOL [19:38] @popescu_sorin, It clashes hardly with the current style [19:41] yeah [19:42] (Photo, 174x310) https://irc.ubports.com/0H6eEgHW/file_1015.jpg [19:42] something like this would work for me, i think (as a dialer app) [19:42] @popescu_sorin, I'm not a fan of that look [19:43] @popescu_sorin, Hmm but thats not so hard to do, lets add a switcher for different views like in gallery, and then you can switch back & forth [19:43] except ofc it needs to follow our style guide. and the style of the contacts app ^^ [19:44] yep, i'm only thinking about the UX, just ignore the graphics [19:44] kk [19:45] We could add a minigame like Asteroids ^^ [19:45] the idea is to just get rid of the dialer and replace it with a contact list [19:45] Where the contacts are coming from top and moving, and you need to shoot the one that you want to call πŸ˜† [19:45] no! [19:45] You're undermining him @Flohack ! [19:45] sry Im quiet πŸ˜† [19:46] We had made a pretty cool prototype for our dialer app in nemo [19:47] (Photo, 1280x758) https://irc.ubports.com/bXmZzNhB/file_1017.jpg [19:49] this is a bit better than the current one, with a screen split between a dialer and the recent calls? [19:49] i just say to get rid of the dialer because it's just taking space and you actually not use it that often [19:49] or at least in my case [19:50] we can put a "dial" button somewhere for the rare case you actually need to dial a number [19:50] Beautiful! [19:50] Hi guys, [19:51] so.. a speed dial of sorts on the first screen instead of a dialer.. don't know [19:51] and no asteroids [19:51] You mean, like in Android? [19:51] :P [19:52] I have used ubports installer for my Bq M10 FHD. It apparently didn"t work. The tablet won"t boot. I have the "Ubuntu powered" eternaly. Any clues? [19:52] i like the back button on android ❀️ [19:57] @giovanniiannotti, The boot time is very long because of a bug, you see the "Ubuntu powered" logo for maybe 3-4 min but then it works [19:58] Well, it's been there for almost 10! But if it is 'normal' under the bug, I will wait. [20:00] ok, the first boot after the installion takes a very long time...in my case maybe 10min [20:00] Thanks [20:17] (Photo, 1280x800) https://irc.ubports.com/uBsvQQM8/file_1019.jpg [20:17] @Flohack, That's because some app has been designed before UITK 1.3. Calculator app still uses the bottom edge component from UITK 1.1, for instance. … Other UITK 1.3 apps uses the upstream component, but still some app forces the desktop behavior of the BottomEdge (the one w/ the hint lable) for several reasons. [20:17] Bottom edge is just a bad idea for convergent apps, imho ^^ [20:17] something like this, instead of the dialer pad (left), maybe a fast dialer/favs and the whole dialer just a button [20:18] @sverzegnassi, it is, indeed [20:19] even on the phone i don't really like to use the bottom edge :D [20:23] @giovanniiannotti, There were some issues with full cache, so nowhere for the img to go. Maybe flash did not complete [20:30] (Photo, 1280x800) https://irc.ubports.com/U7VOU24a/file_1021.jpg [20:31] @sverzegnassi i would rather have something like this (with a botton nav like the open store) [20:31] instead of a useless dialer and a bottom action [20:32] Its true I use the keypad sometimes, but mostly I have to search for contacts or take them out of the recent list [20:32] @Stereofont, It's been more then 30 min now. All the same. What should I do? [20:33] Thanks [20:33] @Flohack, yep [20:34] that's what UX is all about, get drunk, have a bear in one hand and try to call your wife [20:35] @popescu_sorin, I'm triyng. Still didn't call my wife. [20:35] beer [20:35] @giovanniiannotti, not drunk enough [20:37] (Photo, 640x480) https://irc.ubports.com/NRnjUr1x/file_1023.jpg indeed [20:39] @Flohack, what about the smash gesture? [20:39] OhI forgot this one [20:40] @giovanniiannotti, cheers :D [20:40] cheers [20:41] @sverzegnassi OMG the bottom menu works great! bottom on the phone, left or top on tablet, desktop (or something) [20:41] @popescu_sorin, Yep, I think that's the way to go in the lack of Material FABs πŸ™‚ [20:41] (Sticker, 512x512) https://irc.ubports.com/5Td4VnSo/file_1024.webp [21:02] Project daily-bacon build #292: SUCCESS in 11 min: http://ci.ubports.com/job/daily-bacon/292/ [21:03] @giovanniiannotti, You can get the splash screen if only part flashes. Probably you have not succeeded in installing. Did you come from Android? [21:03] Project ota-push build #1124: SUCCESS in 1 min 6 sec: http://ci.ubports.com/job/ota-push/1124/ [21:38] Mr. Popescu Sorin, you have to change the video's name from Ubuntu phone/tablet to Ubuntu Touch on your Youtube channel. Good work. [21:38] πŸ˜‰ [21:49] @Jaume81, the "touch" branding never made sense to me because the idea was to have a convergent OS, phone, tablet, desktop. touch is just one of many inputs, like mouse, keyboard, voice etc.. that's why i didn't want that in the title. also please don't call me Mr :P i'm just a random nobody. also Popescu Sorin is just a place holder username like John Doe :> not my real name [21:49] @neothethird are you there? [21:50] Nu >:( [21:50] i want him to review my pr :O [21:52] I just realize the existence of the post "hammerhead power button 3 times.:." In github. I didn't know it was a bug due to automatic brightness [21:52] It was pissing me off lol [21:55] @popescu_sorin, Mr. P. Shall we therefore call you RN (Random Nobody) or Mr. D. John Doe? [21:56] Well, it's better than calling it UBport. [21:57] Or, like.... PirateOS. Weird things happen when you ask a distributed community for ideas. [22:00] ha. until it converges, Ubuntu Touch makes sense because it's mainly touching [22:06] TransformerOS [22:06] It's a decepticon! [22:07] @Stereofont, i like.... [22:07] MetamorphOS [22:07] @wayneoutthere, Trademarked πŸ™ [22:08] @wayneoutthere, How do you even pronounce than [22:08] meta four oh ass [22:08] metamorph-Oh-ESS [22:09] ugh i misspelled that lol [22:09] I'm gonn metamorph ur OS [22:09] isn't that off-topic [22:09] I met a morph once [22:09] yes. sue me [22:09] maybe we should move to an off-top chat: @ubports_ot [22:10] (i'm here to promote the chat, not to blame you lol) [22:11] crazy. i just joined. it's real. and it's OT! [22:11] gif central. [22:11] (iwa sjust promoting it for you) [22:11] is that going to an audiocast at some point? :P [22:21] Has anyone hit a kernel panic on mako right after EXT4 mounts mmcblk0p23 or loop0? [22:22] @UniversalSuperBox, right, UBports = Ubuntu ports? not sure what is a good naming, it's still mostly Ubuntu... and if 16.04 will use snaps is even more current Ubuntu :P but yeah UBports doesn't make a lot of sence now considering canonical droping unity8 [22:22] That name stays for the foundation. [22:22] It'd be a pain to change it. [22:23] @Russ B, Nothing that i've spotted. How did you realize this ? [22:24] Trying to build halium based on los 14.1 for mako... I know this isn't a halium group per se but I figured kernel panic is generic enough problem :) [22:24] @Ern_st, Been working daily also with my oneplus one, no problems whats so ever [22:25] You see @wayneoutthere :) if you are interested i can find the bug report i've createf on launchpad @mariogrip [22:26] sure [22:29] @mariogrip @wayneoutthere : https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1588526 [22:29] Ubuntu bug 1588526 in Canonical System Image "[mako] Alarm doesn't ring when screen locked" [High,In progress] [22:29] ferry_toth was added by: ferry_toth [22:29] @ubot5, oh hey ubot [22:29] @ferry_toth, welcome [22:32] @ubot5, @popeydc I think one of your bots has escaped :) It does not matter since it's usefull, so for me it can stay, but just letting you know [22:33] how did ubot5 get in here!? [22:33] They merged #ubuntu-touch with #ubports [22:33] we did that weeks ago [22:33] I guess ubot though it was nice [22:35] @popey, I guess it has a mind of it's own [22:37] @Xorpad @UniversalSuperBox I had a look at the apt sources and they are coming from UT vivid repository: http://ports.ubuntu.com/dists/vivid/, … Overlay: https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/stable-phone-overlay [22:38] So, they are just from ubuntu's regular vivid armhf repository, but updated from the overlay ppa [22:38] Yeah [22:39] I made / rw and did update, no updates found. But installed aptitude just fine [22:40] To me that sound like for MX4 (or other devices that don't expect regular OTA's) that creating a ppa with newer packages should be a fairly simple way to stay up to date. [22:41] I'm thinking just for subsystems, like bluez [22:41] The mx4 can get ota's [22:41] By putting the ubports image on it [22:42] And will it? [22:42] Yes [22:43] Would that mean newer packages then vivid? Bluez is now at 5.41 (from the overlay). What would the OTA provide? [22:43] Or if you want to possibly break something and absolutely not get support, https://launchpad.net/~ubports-developers/+archive/ubuntu/overlay [22:44] And that's the newest we have. [22:45] Ah. But this overlay has no bluez for vivid. So which would you have installed on MX4? [22:46] Nothing new. [22:46] And I don't think we can make kernel patches to those phones either. [22:47] we can make kernel patches for any device [22:47] drivers are a different story [22:48] But will it flash and work correctly [22:48] I don't know if the Ubuntu Editions have locked bootloaders or silly signing [22:48] if we have a tool to extract the drives from official ROMs [22:48] *drivers [22:48] Also the released kernel sources are not up to date, or for the Ubuntu Editions. [22:48] if we don't have a way to get the driver blobs, it won't be functional [22:48] And there's no available device tree [22:48] Vivid repo has 4.101, UT overlay has 5.41. If UB overlay has nothing does that mean you use 4.101? [22:49] Nope., [22:49] It's our overlay stacked over the ut overlay stacked over Vivid [22:49] honestly, kernel stuff is not a huge issue [22:49] it's drivers that are [22:50] because we don't have the hardware documentation for those parts in order to make drivers [22:50] Ah. That is exactly what I was thinking to do. BTW why would you need to update the kernel. It is working fine as it is no? [22:50] Blueborne is a driver bug, too [22:50] @fery_toth the kernels(plural) need a lot of work before they are awesome [22:51] Boy, I must be getting tired. Blueborne is a kernel bug, too [22:51] Yes, but I am not too unhappy with my phone as is. Just the bluetooth, grrr [22:52] Dunno if an update to bluez would magically fix that [22:52] @fery_toth wouldn't you prefer longer battery life and increased performance if you had the option? [22:52] and different governers for SoC [22:53] Depends on what I loose by installing UB [22:53] I have not heard a single complaint about losing something [22:54] Bluetooth _seems_ to be working fine. But with earlier OTA's I had tethering over bt from my (kubuntu) laptop. That broke later and was never fixed. [22:54] And in my car never had music playback, or handfree callin [22:55] (that is with the official UT OTA's) [22:56] So I would really like to make some progress in that direction. Don't hink that is a kernel or UI problem [22:56] hink = think 😊 [23:00] So either bugs / regressions in bluez or in the confiuration
