Here is a link to get you started right: https://ubports.com/page/telegram-welcome [01:45] (Photo, 1080x1920) https://irc.ubports.com/Iv7jvA5M.png [01:45] (Photo, 1080x1920) https://irc.ubports.com/vlxzMY0R.png [01:45] (Photo, 1080x1920) https://irc.ubports.com/oVF2k75N.png [01:46] hoping that openstore is usable [01:49] @Sconio, Which version UT are you on, 15.04 or 16.04? [01:49] (Photo, 1080x1920) https://irc.ubports.com/POuXih3f.png [01:49] 16.04 [01:50] @Sconio, 16.04 is still highly unstable and there will be many bugs, both with applications and with the OS itself. [01:52] they have advanced a lot it's last time, and it's very encouraging, that's why I'm close to the advancement in dual boot [01:54] the sound of the phone on call does not work, however the network is now accessible, great [02:07] A lot of apps need recompiling for 16.04 [02:08] But after that its pretty usable as a complementary phone [02:09] @Sconio, If you'll look int he OpenStore channel, someone else is having the same issue. I am as well now [02:35] ok [02:46] Well, I think openstore is compiled against 15.04, so yeah if it works at all on 16.04 it's luck [06:05] @AmolithSeregion, https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/advanceduse/screencasting.html [06:21] @dohbee, It does not work ;) [06:25] Honest assessment: that's not a bad thing given you probably don't want people thinking 16.04 is a daily driver yet and blaming you when it's not. [06:25] Have seen that far too often with other projects. [06:26] yes. We repeat that: 16.04 is far off being usable. Dont install it if you want to use it :) [07:53] To all our British brothers and sisters affected by the Beast From The East, stay safe, enjoy your day off work if it's occuring and don't risk travel except for emergencies. #SnowDay [08:15] Keep in mind your car isn't insured if you're in a red alert area [08:18] @TartanSpartan, Here in Spain its also heavy rain, thunderstorms and a wind that help our container here to fly a bit ;) [08:20] Red warnings are nearly unprecedented in the UK, particularly in Scotland. [08:20] (Photo, 1080x1920) https://irc.ubports.com/gVtRYmow.png [08:21] My father's car is nicely buried, so no chance of that. All Edinburgh buses bar the airport service and tram are cancelled until further notice. Loving this day off but please stay safe people. [08:30] @TartanSpartan, Biggest danger is being crushed in the stampede at panic supermarkets [08:49] Thankfully Tesco is within walking distance. [09:03] @Javacookies, wouldn't that be understage ;3 [09:05] just in landscape ;) [09:15] (Photo, 1280x960) https://irc.ubports.com/yKHL5vnX.png The view from my bit of the UK [09:17] (Photo, 956x1280) https://irc.ubports.com/423hXTDS.png [09:17] @Javacookies, 😂 [09:21] (Photo, 720x1280) https://irc.ubports.com/8Me3UDdE.png [09:31] (Photo, 1280x768) https://irc.ubports.com/uPlExXO4.png [09:31] romania, yesterday ^^ [09:35] yeah, that siberian win front really hit the country hard. though mostly the "Regat" [09:36] [Edit] yeah, that siberian wind front really hit the country hard. though mostly the "Regat" [09:43] Awesome pics [09:46] Wow!

[09:48] Last time I remember was winter 2010/11.

Other parts of Somerset have a red warning for this afternoon - that's never happened in Somerset before (mainly because they've only been using this warning system for a few years. [10:17] at us on the contrary there is little snow, usually snow drifts in height of centimeters 20 - 50 [10:18] Scotland's red warning extended to 0200 tomorrow, likely to carry on for all we know, so a four day weekend is on the cards :) [10:49] @igofftt, We have borrowed yours 😎 [10:50] yeah) [11:03] in repository 18.04 there was still an update to the package unity.8.17?

[12:58] @Ander Mutuberria, Turin is covered in snow too [12:58] @Ander Mutuberria, [Edit] Turin (IT) is covered in snow too [12:58] @garrogarri, I like snow😍😍 [13:02] I love winter snow and freezing temperatures.. 😁 [13:05] In 1998 January there was -48°C in Kuusamo Finland (where I lived back then). It was a bit cold I admit 😂 [13:08] @samitormanen, off course you do. Your are from Finland [13:09] I love wooden shoes, windmills, chees and BATMAN [13:09] 😁👍 [13:18] Burghard Britzke was added by: Burghard Britzke [13:23] Hello Nico and Burghard.

I've not used Telegram before .... but I'm having some problems installing UBports. Basically, (this is the short story!) I've tried using the terminal to wipe my phone and install it, which led to it saying it can't flash the recovery image. Then O also flash the recovery. I also tried using the installer - which my phone wouldn't [13:45] connect to via USB? [13:45] Argh ... sorry was still typinG [13:47] Hi! I've not used Telegram before .... but I'm having some problems installing UBports. Basically, (this is the short story!) I've tried using the terminal to wipe my phone and install it, which led to it saying it can't flash the recovery image. Then I tried to also flash the recovery. I also tried using the installer - which my phone [13:47] wouldn't connect to via USB? @Stefano on the forum has been giving me a lot of help ... but I'm still suck. I've [13:48] been trying to reflash the recovery section, using the downloaded code, in recovery mode, I get < waiting for device > [13:48] :( [13:53] @N B, I won't be much help with in-depth stuff which is probably what you need but are USB debugging and OEM unlocking enabled? [13:54] Um, I have no idea. [13:55] I can't get the phone to turn on to check [13:55] @N B, Do you have any idea why it won't turn on? [13:56] I used the magic-device-tool to try to move onto UBports, but I must have done something wrong as the last few lines from the program were:Move to your device to finish the setup. … Cleaning up.. … Exiting magic-device-tool. Bye Bye … I've just turned my phone off using the power button, then turned it back on and seem to be stuck in a [13:56] loop where I've got the regular Meizu powered by Ubuntu screen with => Normal Boot at the bottom for about 3 seconds, then it turns off for about three seconds on repeat. [13:57] which is why I started using the command line tool instead [13:58] And Hi Amolith [13:58] ! [14:01] @Happyzenith, I've got no clue. Maybe ask @Stereofont, @trainailleur, or @YougoChats. Like I said, I won't be any good with in-depth stuff; I'm sorry! [14:02] Okay - thanks! [14:20] if by command line tool you mean `ubuntu-device-flash` then you also need the specific recovery image for your device if it's a retail phone that shipped with Ubuntu installed already (and is currently running Ubuntu) [14:35] What would be the hardware requirements for a phone to have Ubuntu running? [14:43] Rodney - I've been using ubuntu-device-flash, I do have a phone that was shipped with Ubuntu installed. I've been given a recovery image ... but although I have put it on I still can't connect to do adb shell … rm -rf /cache/recovery/.xz /cache/recovery/.xz.asc ... sorry if this is a bit muddled [14:44] It's the first time I've tried doing anything like this with my phone! [14:48] what recovery image, and what do you mean you've put it on? [14:48] @Zack, Are you asking to port to a device, or what devices are currently supported? [14:50] I've been getting a lot of help from people on the forum. I downloaded it from https://drive.google.com/open?id=1gW9KEdm6C_yjiBdgbEf9feOGX3jwpuYn to my desktop, then typed in sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [15:04] @Happyzenith, This link is good as a general introduction but it also has a link yo the Welcome&Install room https://ubports.com/page/telegram-welcome [15:10] Thanks Lionelb [15:11] @dohbee, To a device, for example if a smartphone possesses the same hardware as the Meizu Pro 5, would the Ubuntu image of Meizu Pro 5 mount on the device? [15:12] @Zack, No, devices must have specific images built for them. Must also be unlockable and have device/kernel trees available, really [15:13] @Happyzenith, OK don't use that. (I would not inherently trust links to sites like Google Drive and such, either) [15:13] @Happyzenith, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices#Working_with_ubuntu-device-flash will probably be more helpful [15:14] You'll want the recovery from there, for your device, and you pass it to ubuntu-device-flash command [15:15] like `ubuntu-device-flash --server https://system-image.ubports.com touch --recovery-image recovery-turbo.img --channel ubports-touch/15.04/stable` [15:18] I did wonder, I have to say (about downloading from a google drive). Okay, I'm downloading the one for the MX4 now ... [15:18] iirc, it's a temporary flash, so if you fastboot flash it in that manner it won't work right [15:19] I'm getting a 503 error for the installation instructions :( [15:20] @dohbee, That is interesting, so the ubuntu compatibility is not only tied to a hardware specific criteria [15:20] it has very little to do with ubuntu [15:20] it's just how phones are [15:20] @dohbee, If I want to test phones for the compatibility of Ubuntu, what are the things I have to look for in a phone? [15:21] With compatibility I mean the possibility to flash ubuntu [15:21] if you want to port ubuntu to a new device, best place to start is phones that have working lineageos ports [15:22] if you want to buy a phone and just flash ubuntu straight away, then there is a list of devices on the ubports web site (linked in the group description here) [15:24] So, when I've downloaded it, should I be typing something like sudo flash recovery recovery.img ? Bit of a guess really ... I'm struggling with this! [15:25] @dohbee, All right! Thanks [15:26] @Happyzenith, no, the command i paste above. replace the `recovery-turbo.img` with the path to the recovery image file for your device (recovery-arale.img for example with MX4) [15:27] and if you have the device at the bootloader screen, and are ok with wiping all the data on the device add `--bootstrap` option to the end [15:28] if you're booted into ubuntu with developer mode enabled, and you can connect with adb, you do not need that option or to wipe the data [15:30] So ubuntu-device-flash —server https://system-image.ubports.com touch —recovery-image recovery.img —channel ubports-touch/15.04/stable if my file is called recovery.img [15:31] yes [15:31] and if it's in the current directory [15:31] Is the bootloader screen the same as recovery? [15:32] when I restart the phone? [15:32] no [15:33] it's the fastboot screen [15:33] okay :) [15:36] Okay, I've rebooted to the fastboot screen then used that command [15:36] But I've got the error "2018/03/01 15:35:36 Expecting the device to expose an adb interface... … device cannot be detected over adb" [15:37] yes, you need to append `--bootstrap` option if in fasstboot mode. beware this will wipe all data already on the device [15:37] It's plugged into the computer [15:37] ah, sorry! [15:39] I've now got "Device arale not found on server https://system-image.ubuntu.com channel ubuntu-touch/stable/ubuntu", did I miss something out? [15:39] ubuntu-device-flash —server https://system-image.ubports.com touch —recovery-image recovery.img —channel ubports-touch/15.04/stable —bootstrap [15:40] (Document) https://irc.ubports.com/0PLX9w8A.null [15:41] @Happyzenith, that is not from the command i gave. what actual command did you run? [15:44] I put ubuntu-device-flash —server https://system-image.ubports.com touch —recovery-image recovery.img —channel ubports-touch/15.04/stable —bootstrap [15:45] then how did you get an error about a channel and about the ubuntu system image server? [15:46] oooooooooohhhhhh [15:46] you are using long dashes [15:46] those are supposed to be two normal dashes [15:46] not one long dash [15:46] Nono [15:46] Telegram changed it [15:46] Test--aa [15:46] Mmaybe not [15:46] nope [15:47] well at least telegram web doesn't change it [15:47] maybe telegram-desktop does? [15:48] either way that appears to be the problem [15:48] I've changed the dashes (I hope) and it reports unknown flag 's' [15:48] @Happyzenith, `ubuntu-device-flash --server https://system-image.ubports.com touch --recovery-image recovery.img --channel ubports-touch/15.04/stable --bootstrap` is what you need [15:49] double dashes, not single dashes [15:49] I'm using the desktop one on ubuntu 16.04 LTS [15:49] oops [15:51] [Edit] I've now got it working, I think. I've got a purple background and ubuntu logo on the phone, with terminal output showing that it is pushing files [15:51] Should there be a timer or something? [15:53] Now the terminal looks like it's finished with the last line saying2018/03/01 15:52:04 Rebooting into recovery to flash [15:53] The phone looks like it is about 75% of the way through, actually [15:53] it's increased [15:54] :) [15:54] Nah, there's no timer. But just wait [15:55] don't do anything until it's done and booted, just let it sit comfortably while it flashes and installs :) [15:55] Okay :D [16:01] Yay! I think I'm done! [16:03] In about it says - ubports 15.03 (r) :D [16:03] great [16:03] i hope you mean 15.04 (r3) [16:04] Yes ... I do [16:05] So, basically, moral of the story is use the right recovery file! (life lesson learnt) [16:05] well, and use it correctly :) [16:07] Yep! [16:17] Okay, now importing contacts :) [16:18] RoyOnUbuntu was added by: RoyOnUbuntu [16:36] Just updated my post with all the instructions ... in case someone else has the same issues [16:44] Thank you all very much for all your help!!!

[17:43] hello! First question ... Why the registration? [17:44] Second question... No mobile data on my Nexus 5 with Ubuntu touch. Anyone can help me? [17:46] The registration? [17:46] @cilu_, what registration? [17:46] @cilu_, d821? or d820? [17:50] registration of nick on freenode to acess #ubports [17:50] dohbee how do I know what is my d*? [17:51] oh i don't know, to prevent spammers i guess. there's often some very annoying spambots that hit freenode [17:52] @cilu_, it says on the back, below the lg logo and above the CE info bit, very low contrast [17:52] (or if your IMEI sticker is gone, it's also under that) [17:53] cilu always do those changes in Settings rather than with the pull-down menu [17:53]
