tgBot1<sudanisayfree> Can I install ubuntu touch to Samsung gt-S5282 DUOS03:53
tgBot1<Montefrio> Samsung gt-S5282 Duos,03:56
tgBot1<Montefrio> no03:56
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> Why ?03:56
tgBot1<Montefrio> nobody port it to this device03:56
tgBot1<Montefrio> https://ubports.com/03:57
tgBot1<Montefrio> please read this website03:57
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> I read it03:57
tgBot1<Montefrio> https://ubports.com/devices/ready-to-use-devises03:58
tgBot1<Montefrio> maybe you could buy a Nexus 5 Smartphone on ebay03:58
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> But all port are for few handsets03:59
tgBot1<Lyokanthrope> Porting isn't easy.03:59
tgBot1<Montefrio> Ubuntu Touch is since April 2017 only community work03:59
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> Not all handset03:59
tgBot1<Montefrio> Canonical have giving it up04:00
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> I see04:00
tgBot1<Montefrio> your Samsung is to old too04:00
tgBot1<Montefrio> week chipset04:01
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> I installed ) ubports installer ) on my Windows OS PC  it give me a letter " uncaught type error : devices.sort is not a function ( main renderer:423 )"04:04

tgBot1<sudanisayfree> @Montefrio, 😳04:19
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> @Montefrio, 😳04:20
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> @Montefrio, That means it can be installed on it04:22
tgBot1<Montefrio> yes,because your device is not listed , there is no04:22
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> Ok04:22
tgBot1<Montefrio> no it cannot04:22
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> How can I create a port04:23
tgBot1<Montefrio> do you have developing skills?04:23
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> Yes04:24
tgBot1<Lyokanthrope> ever built or ported Android roms before?04:25
tgBot1<Montefrio> https://docs.ubuntu.com/phone/en/devices/porting-new-device04:25
tgBot1<lungwitz> @sudanisayfree, It is actually pretty old haha04:33
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> @Lyokanthrope, Samsung GT-S5282 details : … 1- CPU :  1.0 GHz Cortex-A5 … 2 - GPU : Mali-30004:33
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> @Lyokanthrope, CyanogenMod 1304:33
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> @sudanisayfree, I used it to install foucs Firefox android  because the app works on Android version 7 and above04:35
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> @lungwitz, I hope If it works04:36
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> @Lyokanthrope, Built no04:37
tgBot1<lungwitz> Nor ported? What he's asking, I think, is if you ever coded/worked with code04:38
tgBot1<Lyokanthrope> I'm asking if he has any experience with compiling an android rom from source. Porting relies on a good chunk of knowledge surrounding that kind of stuff..04:39
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> @lungwitz, No04:39
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> @Lyokanthrope, No04:39
tgBot1<lungwitz> @Lyokanthrope, Exactly. What I meant was that installing a prebuilt rom doesn't count for your question04:40
tgBot1<Lyokanthrope> Fair'nuf04:40
tgBot1<lungwitz> 😁04:40
tgBot1<Lyokanthrope> It's recommended to know how the android build system works04:40
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> From where I start04:41
tgBot1<lungwitz> @Lyokanthrope, Sorry for being so ignorant, bur why?04:41
tgBot1<lungwitz> Isn't ubports supposed to run by itself without jvm or anything?04:42
tgBot1<Lyokanthrope> ubports relies on libhybris which requires some android bits and bobs to work properly.04:43
tgBot1<Lyokanthrope> When you port for a device you're usually adapting a device tree from LineageOS for use with ubports and/or halium, just with a lot of cruft removed. You're basically left with nothing more than the kernel and some 'core' services for hardware.04:44
tgBot1<Lyokanthrope> Blame OEMs and their proprietary blobs and out of tree drivers for requiring this mess04:45
tgBot1<Lyokanthrope> @sudanisayfree, Anyway, search around, check XDA and  etc and try to find source code for your device. Try building for it.04:48
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> @Lyokanthrope, 😳04:50
tgBot1<lungwitz> 🤔04:51
tgBot1<Lyokanthrope> 🤷‍♂️04:51
tgBot1<lungwitz> It is what it is 😝04:52
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> Developers you have experience on porting too many devices but I don't have the experience too that .... … Mr lyo faelan05:06
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> Developers of Ubuntu Touch , …  You have the  experience on porting too many devices but I don't have the experience too that .... … Can you help me , installe ubuntu touch on my handset Samsung GT-S5282 DUOS05:09
tgBot1<Lyokanthrope> Not without one05:21
tgBot1<jonny> @sudanisayfree, There is a halium group where you can get help with the porting.06:03
tgBot1<jonny> https://t.me/halium06:12
tgBot1<JBBgameich> Before starting a port, make sure the device has a kernel newer than 3.106:23
tgBot1<JBBgameich> 2.6 won't work06:23
tgBot1<Stereofont> @sudanisayfree, Welcome! Also to Seven! Ask questions, join in. Glad to have you in our community. https://ubports.com/page/telegram-welcome for lots of newcomer information 🚪09:14
tgBot1<Stereofont> @sudanisayfree, Sorry that we do not have an Arabic group. For a expert with high ability it will take maybe four or five months with a lot of work to port a phone. Your phone has low power and lots of special Samsung difficulties. Honestly, there will never be a port09:26
tgBot1<rogieroudshoorn> has anyone managed to install a VM with the new mir ppa's?10:35
tgBot1<rogieroudshoorn> i can get the correct libwayland-server0 package and i wonder which ppa to use for it :)10:36
tgBot1<rogieroudshoorn> hmm bad endpoint, sorry10:43

tgBot1<malditobastardo> xorowo12:18
tgBot1<Jimmie Johnsson> Bit of a tech question, is ACL enabled on ubuntu touch in the stable version? Or is there some other similar access control scheme being used for the filesystem?12:40
tgBot1<Aleksandr Lukin> @malditobastardo, Good russian=))12:42
tgBot1<Stereofont> @Aleksandr Lukin, A Mediatek device, so it is very unlikely that anyone will attempt this12:51
tgBot1<dohbee> @Jimmie Johnsson, yes, there are access controls12:53
tgBot1<Jimmie Johnsson> Anyway to inspect ACL properties of folders/files from the included terminal app (or some other way)?12:54
tgBot1faizulhadiman was added by: faizulhadiman12:56
tgBot1<dohbee> what are you trying to accomplish exactly? reading apparmor rules will probably make you want to pull your eyes out with a spoon12:56
tgBot1<Jimmie Johnsson> Im trying to make a filecommander-like app. I tried putting it into unconfined mode but i think there maybe other reasons why it cant read certain paths or create directories/files where i want12:58
tgBot1<dohbee> where are you trying to create files?12:59
tgBot1<Jimmie Johnsson> Basically where ever the user pleases. Its meant to enable you to move files around as you like. It will need some sort of setting blocking folders off from users who dont want to risk messing up their setup but that is a later step i think13:02
tgBot1<Jimmie Johnsson> Seems like its basically cause the folder i am looking at have no permission for anyone except root which i guess is why dear app cant see it at all. access: Drwxr-xr-x root root13:04
tgBot1<Jimmie Johnsson> Last flag is what "everyone else" except root gets I guess?13:05
tgBot1<Jimmie Johnsson> Tried /home13:06
tgBot1<UniversalSuperBox> The only paths you are ever allowed to touch are in /etc/system-image/writable-paths13:11
tgBot1<UniversalSuperBox> And yes, the last group of permissions is the 'world' section, you would not have access in the case you posted.13:12
tgBot1<dohbee> well if it's unconfined, then it's just unix perms and most of / being read only13:13
tgBot1<dohbee> so user can write anywhere in /home/phablet, but to write outside that you will probably need elevated perms, for the writable locations13:14
tgBot1<dohbee> apps don't run as root13:14
tgBot1<wayneoutthere> @faizulhadiman, good day to you, @faizulhadiman !  Welcome to the group.  To get started, check out this 'welcome link'.  Any questions? I'm here to help.  https://ubports.com/page/telegram-welcome13:16
tgBot1<Jimmie Johnsson> @dohbee @UniversalSuperBox thanks for the help. I will dig into it more at home, but i think i have a bit of a better understanding.13:18

tgBot1<Lars Goran> accordin to instructions i the installer, I put phone in dev mode16:35
tgBot1<Lars Goran> do I have to prepare the pc?16:36
tgBot1<KingJamez> What happens when you run the installer?16:44
tgBot1<KingJamez> With the installer, youstill need to select the phone manually16:45
tgBot1<KingJamez> Then hit install16:46
tgBot1<Lars Goran> I did......the phone stuck into fastboot mode and the installer just turning round.....16:48
tgBot1<Lars Goran> 😁16:48

tgBot1<Miroslav> Hey all, maybe a stupid question, but is desktop version going to get some attention in ubports? I.e. wayland + further development?20:45
tgBot1<Miroslav> Is there a telerram group about the desktop version?20:45
tgBot1<dohbee> there is no difference. unity8 is meant to run across all devices.20:58
tgBot1<dohbee> so this would be the appropriate group for running the ubports repo builds of unity820:58
tgBot1<Miroslav> is there some feedback how stable is it on desktop? there are some videos on yt from sorin, but there is very little info on official site about it21:46
tgBot1<Miroslav> or thngs like multimonitor displays having one hidpi + one regular?21:47
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> @hwpplayer1, I there !!!!!21:55
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> Why , Ubports community , doesn't support  language group in  Arabic22:01
tgBot1<Stereofont> @sudanisayfree, @Abdelmalik_Al_Meldawy22:01
tgBot1<Stereofont> We did not have members who speak Arabic. Maybe now we do?22:02
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> @Stereofont, I see22:02
tgBot1<Stereofont> @Stereofont, @SigmaOne22:03
tgBot1<sudanisayfree> السلام عليكم ، محمد من السودان22:03

tgBot1<wayneoutthere> This looks to be Arabic.  Do we have a Language Captain available for Arabic? :)22:57
tgBot1<Stereofont> That is the point of the pings22:58
tgBot1<Stereofont> We seem to have four possibles22:58
tgBot1<Stereofont> Late at night for them. Maybe someone will pick up tomorrow22:59
tgBot1<wayneoutthere> Nice.  Hopefuly23:01
tgBot1<UniversalSuperBox> "Salam alaikum, Mohamed from Sudan" … >As-salāmu ʿalaykum is a greeting in Arabic that means "peace be upon you".23:49
