ubptgbot<kuailexs> i do not know which is related to shutdown03:34
ubptgbot<OnePlus3T_Gaurav> Still no port for op3T?03:58

ubptgbot<Daniel Bradford> Hey! I was wondering if you guys had considered porting Ubuntu Touch to Project Treble? In theory it would enable a much wider range of devices with minimal effort04:15
ubptgbot<wayneoutthere> @popescu_sorin, that's progress. :)04:32
ubptgbot<kuailexs> @mariogrip Excuse me, when porting ubuntu touch. Can't shutdown/restart properly. Which aspect should be concerned?06:39
ubptgbot<Flohack> @kuailexs, We also dont know it. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. You have to hack a lot into your device files to make this work properly.06:52
ubptgbot<K31j0> Project Treble only changes effort level on Android07:17
ubptgbot<K31j0> for now at least07:17
ubptgbot<K31j0> if Halium guys focus treble, we'll get it in effect, but now there's no Oreo support to begin with, IIRC that was introduced in Oreo07:17
ubptgbot<K31j0> Are AppArmor patches documented in porting guide?07:18
ubptgbot<Mark> Is it right to assume that basic functions are working in N5 in 16.04? i.e. Can I phone, SMS, and use the official browser? Does Telegram work? Actually, what would be really useful would be a list of apps that work, and those which don't.07:32
ubptgbot<K31j0> Yeah, there are only flags to be enabled, checked by a script, what if I don't have AppArmor in my kernel? Did anyone have to backport that?07:34
ubptgbot<Stereofont> @kuailexs, This group is not the best place to ask. Are you still building Halium for the device or have you completed that stage?08:47
ubptgbot<Stereofont> @Mark, Not sure. Telegram does not work though08:48
ubptgbot<Flohack> @K31j0, Not to a fully extent. The AA porting is so complex its not easy to describe. If you are lucky you can use an existing kernel port08:51
ubptgbot<Mark> @Stereofont, Thanks for that.08:54
ubptgbot<kuailexs> @Stereofont, base on ubp-5.109:55
ubptgbot<kuailexs> @Stereofont, It can  be used normally. But it cannot shutdown/retart properly.Must be forced to shut down09:58
ubptgbot<Flohack> @kuailexs, This is because the shutdown is device-specific and no 2 devices are shutting down in the samye way. The vendor makes this possible, and it needs to be done like in Android, otherwise it wont work. Also that there is "charge mode" where Android is started even when the phone is off if you connect a cable. Sometimes10:55
ubptgbotUbuntu Touch just starts, as it does not understand it should be i ncharge mode only.10:55
ubptgbot<unknown> Is this device interesting for Ubuntu touch too? … https://www.xda-developers.com/planet-computer-gemini-pda-lineageos-14-1/13:19
ubptgbot<W> in regards to devices that aren't officially supported, the OS will still work right? but just with glitches possibly13:20
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> No, it will not work at all13:20
ubptgbot<YougoChats> @unknown, it says on the page that radio doesn't work (yet). even if porting succeeds, the lack of radio will persist in UT likewise i think13:22
ubptgbot<unknown> @YougoChats, But it also says that you can boot GNU/Linux13:22
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Pretty sure someone is working on the Gemini...13:23
ubptgbot<YougoChats> there are several ways of doing that. probably none of those are how Ubuntu Touch works13:23
ubptgbot<W> ah okie13:24
ubptgbot<YougoChats> but the integrated physical keyboard is very interesting indeed13:25
ubptgbot<dohbee> @UniversalSuperBox, Yes, @NotKit has it sort of working13:29
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> But it's Mediatek, so he's submitting lots of patches13:29
ubptgbot<NotKit> I'm not basing on Lineage, but on AOSP BSP actually.13:30
ubptgbot<unknown> I read that sailfish os is supported13:31
ubptgbot<unknown> What Linux distribution will Gemini run? … We are currently talking to a few companies representing different Linux flavours and we are considering a number of options but the decision has not been taken yet. We are also taking into accounts comments from the backers into consideration, including Sailfish & Ubuntu OS, which have bee13:38
ubptgbotn suggested several times. … https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gemini-pda-android-linux-keyboard-mobile-device--2#/13:38
ubptgbot<unknown> Ubuntu OS = UT or desktop?13:39
ubptgbot<dohbee> no idea what they mean there13:40
ubptgbot<NotKit> what was demostrated is desktop with GNOME Shell13:40
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Probably Ubuntu proper13:40
ubptgbot<dohbee> GPD Pocket is a similar device that's x86 and can run any Linux13:40
ubptgbot<NotKit> because it's x86 :)13:41
ubptgbot<dohbee> yes13:41

ubptgbot<G_Raffe> Guys, if I use Libertian - is it possible to run official telegram app?13:45
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> No, it's not built for ARM13:45
ubptgbot<dohbee> you can probably run it inside libertine if you compile it for ARM13:45
ubptgbot<G_Raffe> Okay, thanks!13:46
ubptgbot<dohbee> you could probably package it as a click and run it without libertine too, since it's qt13:46
ubptgbot<dohbee> might not scale nicely or be usable, but should at least be able to forgo the need for X11, and get a little better system integration with keyboard and such13:47
ubptgbot<samzn> @NotKit, We never forget Harmattan15:27
ubptgbot<Flohack> @dohbee, Its qt? Sure?16:52
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Flohack, the telegram desktop app? pretty sure, yes16:52
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> I think there's some components from Electron, too. Not sure how they fit together though16:53
ubptgbot<JBBgameich> No, telegram-desktop is completely Qt. It also runs on Plasma Mobile16:53
ubptgbot<dohbee> https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop16:54
ubptgbot<dohbee> it's a bit of a pain to build16:54
ubptgbot<JBBgameich> Debian has some patches to build it against the system libraries.16:55
ubptgbot<JBBgameich> I guess building the debian package for Xenial and repacking it into a click is the easiest way.16:56
ubptgbot<dohbee> yay night mode16:59
ubptgbot<dohbee> does camera app work for anyone on 16.04 builds?17:01
ubptgbot<advocatux> @dohbee, Both photo and video camera work in my E4.517:07
ubptgbot<malditobastardo> @dohbee, Camera works but not video I think, at least in N517:44
ubptgbot<dohbee> hmm. i am trying to figure out why Camera component is not working on 18.04 for me17:45
ubptgbot<dohbee> but i guess it's not strictly "qt 5.9 broke something" :-/17:46

ubptgbot<Jean-Pierre MAILLARD> Hello Everyone, … I'm trying to install UBports on my new BQ M10 FHD (Android version) but after a few seconds, I get a message about format of the systme and recovery partitions: … "FAILED (remote: format for partition 'system' is not allowed)" … Is there a way to have the partition enable for a new system? … Thank you18:02
ubptgbot!18:02
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> You need to install Ubuntu on your device from a factory image before you are able to use the installer18:05
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/install.html#install-on-legacy-android-devices18:06
ubptgbot<cls006> Is WINE hq available in UBports?18:07
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> You can probably install it in libertine, but you'd need Windows apps compiled for ARM18:08
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Read: none of them18:08
ubptgbot<dohbee> wine isn't available for ARM in ubuntu repos18:11
ubptgbot<dohbee> so firstly you'd need to get wine compiled for ARM, and then you'd need Win RT apps18:12
ubptgbot<samzn> Wine on ARM is a hell to get working18:13
ubptgbot<samzn> just use qemu-user18:13
ubptgbot<samzn> @dohbee, 18.04 builds are already available?18:13
ubptgbotignorare was added by: ignorare18:13
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> No, he's hacking around on 18.0418:13
ubptgbot<dohbee> i'm porting an app to qqc2 on x8618:14
ubptgbot<samzn> It's been a long while since I've went around Ubuntu Touch18:14
ubptgbot<ignorare> Hi guys! Did anybody of you successfully install UBports on a Nexus 5 with 32 GB? Or does UBports only work on the 16 GB-version?18:14
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Works fine on the 32GB version18:14
ubptgbot<samzn> @ignorare, Should work on any Hammerhead18:14
ubptgbot<samzn> I want to try to go around full time with Ubports again18:14
ubptgbot<ignorare> Great! Thanks a lot! 👍18:14
ubptgbot<samzn> @dohbee, does 16.04 have qqc2 support yet18:14
ubptgbot<dohbee> it works fine if one successfully replaced the flash with 64GB chip too18:15
ubptgbot<ignorare> @dohbee, Oh, wow! 😉18:15
ubptgbot<ignorare> Is that a big work?18:15
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Very18:15
ubptgbot<samzn> you'll need a reballing station18:15
ubptgbot<ignorare> Haha, okay. I am out... 😄18:15
ubptgbot<dohbee> @samzn, i'm talking about stock ubuntu, not ubuntu on phones18:15
ubptgbot<ignorare> Thank you very much guys! 👍👍😉18:15
ubptgbot<samzn> @dohbee, ah18:15
ubptgbot<dohbee> but ubports 16.04 devel is using qt 5.9 as well (which is what is in 18.04 stock), so i was wondering if the same issues might be showing up there18:16
ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> How would you launch a Libertine program from the UT Terminal app?18:16
ubptgbot<dohbee> with ubuntu-app-launch18:17
ubptgbot<dohbee> `ubuntu-app-launch container_firefox_0.0` for example18:17
ubptgbot<dohbee> `ubuntu-app-launch-appids | grep container` to see what apps are available in `container`18:17
ubptgbot<samzn> (Photo, 960x1280) https://irc.ubports.com/EqyfgBrn.png18:19
ubptgbot<samzn> Welcome back old friend18:19
ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> Meh, apparently devel Xenial still can't open programs by that method.18:24
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> It should but what actually happens18:24
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> ubuntu-app-launch uses the same stuff as Unity8 does to launch apps... so if it was completely broken, no apps would launch18:25
ubptgbot<dohbee> probably same issue that n5 had?18:25
ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> I see the splash screen of the program, but then nothing and a revert back to teh terminal.18:25
ubptgbot<dohbee> sounds like same issue as on n518:25
ubptgbot<dohbee> check the log for the app in `~/.cache/upstart/` to see what went wrong18:26
ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> Or more accurately just the program's icon rather than a startup splash screen.18:26
ubptgbot<dohbee> yes, the u8 splash screen you get for all starting apps18:26
ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> "proot info: pid 10749: terminated with signal 11"18:30
ubptgbot<dohbee> oh that's no fun18:30
ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> And ditto with pid 1110718:30
ubptgbot<dohbee> yeah that means it crashed18:31
ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> What does it mean?18:31
ubptgbot<dohbee> so not the same as on n518:31
ubptgbot<dohbee> so something segfaulted18:32
ubptgbot<dohbee> is there something in `/var/crash/` that looks relevant?18:32
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> everything segfaults18:32
ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> No just stuff regarding system settings there AFAICS.18:33
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> What are you trying to run?18:37
ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> Whatever really, started with Firefox and Libre Office Writer.18:40
ubptgbot<samzn> does anbox work on 16.04?18:44
ubptgbot<dohbee> on devices where it is currently enabled, yes18:45
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/anbox.html18:45
ubptgbot<dohbee> so not on nexus 518:45
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> The Pro 5 and M10's18:45
ubptgbot<samzn> @dohbee, that's really great to hear18:46
ubptgbot<ignorare> @samzn, Some news available about Anbox at all? 👍😉18:46
ubptgbot<samzn> @ignorare, https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/anbox.html18:47
ubptgbot<Jean-Pierre MAILLARD> @UniversalSuperBox, Thank you very much Dalton Durst for this information! (It still does not work yet but I will have another try tomorrow. Will keep you posted.)19:05
ubptgbot<Stereofont> @Jean-Pierre MAILLARD, If you make a username in Telegram you can be pinged and be invited to groups, such as the install group…19:35
ubptgbot<Jean-Pierre MAILLARD> @Stereofont, Thank you for the tip Lionelb!19:44
ubptgbot<Stereofont> @Jean-Pierre MAILLARD, You can go into Settings to do that19:45
ubptgbot<Zack> Is Ubuntu Touch available for Samsung s6?19:51
ubptgbot<JPMMPJ> @Stereofont, Done! Thanks again Lionelb!19:54
ubptgbot<advocatux> @Zack, Nope. See http://ubuntu-touch.io/devices19:59
ubptgbot<Zack> Thank you!19:59
ubptgbot<advocatux> 👍19:59
ubptgbot<PhoenixLandPirate> @advocatux, There was a video recently of ubuntu touch on the Samsung s something or other20:00
ubptgbot<dohbee> 720:00
ubptgbot<K31j0> @PhoenixLandPirate, S720:00
ubptgbot<PhoenixLandPirate> Okay20:00
ubptgbot<Zack> I saw the video, really exciting updates20:11

ubptgbot<wayneoutthere> @cls006, consider anbox to the 'the wine of ubuntu touch' ;)20:33
ubptgbot<dohbee> anbox isn't a reimplementation of android though20:34
ubptgbot<wayneoutthere> i am so out to lunch on this cloud that i don't even have anything further to say which is... out of my character! good day for anyone who wants to take shots at me though! ;)20:38
ubptgbot<Mark> @cls006, UBports Port existed for a very short time on Sunday.20:58

ubptgbot<Vasilis Ziogou> hi21:24
ubptgbot<Vasilis Ziogou> i want to install ubuntu touch in turbo-x Hive 3g (Greek model). it runs android 4.4.2 but i cant get into bootloader21:25
ubptgbot<Vasilis Ziogou> can you help me?21:25
ubptgbot<dohbee> it is not a supported device21:25
ubptgbot<Stereofont> @Vasilis Ziogou, The bootloader is the smallest of the problems21:26
ubptgbot<Stereofont> @Vasilis Ziogou, To learn about UBports, check this … https://ubports.com/page/telegram-welcome21:27
ubptgbot<Stereofont> http://ubuntu-touch.io/devices#/21:27
ubptgbot<Stereofont> That is the list of supported devices. More are on the way but sadly not yours21:28
ubptgbot<Vasilis Ziogou> so there is no other way that it can work on my device?21:31
ubptgbot<Stereofont> It is a Mali processor. I don't think anyone has ported a Mali device. BQ M10 us the only properly supported tablet, although you can do something with a 2013 Nexus 721:32
ubptgbot<Vasilis Ziogou> 👍21:33
ubptgbot<Vasilis Ziogou> thnx21:33
ubptgbot<Stereofont> @Vasilis Ziogou, First, it would need a Halium port. A difficult and frustrating process. Usually Qualcomm processors ate preferred because they are not so closed21:33
ubptgbot<Stereofont> At the moment we don't have a Greek language group but we would like to21:35
ubptgbot<NotKit> @Stereofont, which SoC exactly?21:36
ubptgbot<Stereofont> Mali-450 MP; ARM; OpenGL ES-CM 1.1; OpenGL ES 2.021:39
ubptgbot<NotKit> MediaTek MT8392, ok21:39
ubptgbot<NotKit> thankfully some Greek letters look similar to cyrillics21:39
ubptgbot<NikosChat> @NotKit, Maybe because Cyrrilos was greek21:41
ubptgbot<NikosChat> @NotKit, [Edit] Maybe because Cyrrilos was Greek21:41
ubptgbot<malditobastardo> 😹😹21:41
ubptgbot<NotKit> @NikosChat, yeah21:43
ubptgbot<NotKit> @Vasilis Ziogou, I checked a bit, it doesn't have kernel source code provided by manufacturer. Unfortunately, you're generally out of luck with lesser known "regional" devices.21:44
ubptgbot<dohbee> more like some cyrillic letters look similar to Greek ;)21:44
ubptgbot<Stereofont> @Vasilis Ziogou, Incidentally, if you make a username in Telegram, it assists  because you can be pinged and it is possible to add you to groups21:44
ubptgbot<NotKit> https://www.plaisio.gr/tablet/tablets/tablets-all/Turbo-X-Hive-V-Octacore-9-7-3G-Milamu-DI-9733.htm - it's just for example, "ΤΕΧΝΙΚΑ ΧΑΡΑΚΤΗΡΙΣΤΙΚΑ" reads almost fine for Russian speaker ("ТЕХНИКА ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКА", not correct in Russian, but understandable)21:46
ubptgbot<malditobastardo> Technical characteristic21:47
ubptgbot<malditobastardo> Panynmaiu21:47
ubptgbot<NikosChat> Russian or English is obviously based on Greek words21:48
ubptgbot<NotKit> probably even more Greek words borrowed than in English21:48
ubptgbot<Stereofont> @NikosChat, If a Greek group is desired, a conversation could start in the Lab21:52
ubptgbot<Stereofont> @Vasilis Ziogou, [Edit] First, it would need a Halium port. A difficult and frustrating process. Usually Qualcomm processors are preferred because they are not so closed21:55
ubptgbot<NikosChat> I am Greek but I don't know if there are other Greeks that are interested in a Greek language group21:55
ubptgbot<NikosChat> @Stereofont, Which Lab?21:56
ubptgbot<Stereofont> @NikosChat, Generally, when a group is started, others appear21:56
ubptgbot<NikosChat> @Stereofont, OK let's create it then21:56
ubptgbot<Stereofont> @NikosChat, I tried to add you but your privacy settings do not allow21:57
ubptgbot<NikosChat> @Stereofont, Can you try again21:58
ubptgbot<NikosChat> @Stereofont, [Edit] Can you try again?21:59
ubptgbot<Stereofont> @NikosChat, 😃22:07
ubptgbot<Donieck> Which kernel version is in UT 16.04?22:25
ubptgbot<Mark Mullins> what browser does ut use22:27
ubptgbot<K31j0> @Donieck, Whichever you bese on22:28
ubptgbot<K31j0> depends on the device22:28
ubptgbot<K31j0> ranging from 3.4 to 4.422:28
ubptgbot<K31j0> no rule22:28
ubptgbot<Donieck> @K31j0, Is have UT 16.04? Can you write uname -r in terminal and hand this up to me?22:32
ubptgbot<K31j0> What device do you have?22:34
ubptgbot<Donieck> nexus 5 with UT 15.0422:35
ubptgbot<K31j0> That'll have the same kernel22:35
ubptgbot<K31j0> hence you can't upgrade kernels on android devices22:37
ubptgbot<K31j0> If you bump up the release to the extent it changes API/ABI, device becomes unbootable22:37
ubptgbot<K31j0> and you can't do anything about this22:38
ubptgbot<K31j0> because we need blobs man22:38
ubptgbot<K31j0> else nothing works22:38
ubptgbot<K31j0> Iiiif you want to reverse engineer everything and write FOSS drivers for that that'd go into mainline, I got no problem with that22:38
ubptgbot<K31j0> but ain't nobody got time for that22:38
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Mark Mullins, Native is webbrowser-app which is based on chromium content api22:41
