ubptgbot<JPMMPJ> @JPMMPJ, In the end it did not work out. The download of the Ubuntu Rom worked just fine as mentionned in your linked. But as a result, my tablet was completly black all the time. I had to reinstall the Android Rom (It worked).08:28

ubptgbot<JPMMPJ> My tablet BQ Aquaris M10 FHD Android version did not work08:35
ubptgbot<JPMMPJ> I have been told that to make my tablet work with UBports Ubuntu installer, I have to get a BQ Aquaris M10 FHD Ubuntu Eddition...08:36
ubptgbot<JPMMPJ> Thank you for asking Lionelb !08:38
ubptgbot<JPMMPJ> (So no it wasn't a Fairphone)08:39
ubptgbot<Stereofont> @JPMMPJ, Yes, you have to go via Canonical  UT08:50
ubptgbot<JPMMPJ> Thank you for this confirmation Lionelb !08:50
ubptgbot<JPMMPJ> I will do that ! Am gonna get the same tablet Canonical UT edition08:51
ubptgbot<JPMMPJ> (I already sent back my Android tablet version to the seller for a refund... They understood that I want the UT edition... Nice...)08:52
ubptgbot<Stereofont> @JPMMPJ, Was not really necessary but certainly that makes your task easier08:53
ubptgbot<JPMMPJ> @Stereofont, I must confess that I already spent a lot of time trying to make it work... So yes I admit I chose the easiest way ... ☺️09:46

ubptgbot<Evan He> Trying to install Ubuntu Touch on my Nexus 5 with UBports installer on a Windows 10 Pro (latest update) computer. The software wouldn't recognize my Nexus 5 (in its bootloader), and I am stuck at the "Please reboot to bootloader" screen. I have installed the Universal ADB driver, but the software always prop with "ADB drivers needed14:09
ubptgbot" on launch. Any advice?14:09

ubptgbot<zoomer296> @Flohack, My SIII has a broken LCD. I've heard they're a PITA to fix. … Honestly, it might cost less to buy a used S III/Note II than a display.16:56
_Taghi dudes17:05
_TagI just bougt a nexus 5 from a friend in order to install ubports17:06
_Tagright now i have installed 15.04 but I would love to try 16.04, but when I try to install it using the snap it just fails17:06
_Tagadb push error, thats the error17:07
_TagI installed 15.04 using magic... whatever17:07
_Taga script, in a mint 17, but from home, in an ubuntu 17.10 i can't, due phablet-tools not available17:08
ubptgbot<dohbee> at what screen is the phone when you get the error?17:08
ubptgbot<dohbee> not sure why phablet-tools would be needed17:09
_Tagmmm dohbee is me?17:10
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> You're using magic-device-tool?17:10
ubptgbot<dohbee> @_Tag, no i am not you :)17:10
_Tagoh, man, i thought it was ubptgbot who whas answering17:11
_Taganyway, when it starts flashing, i get that error17:11
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> MDT is dropping support for Ubuntu Touch. You might have better luck with the installer snap or appimage. http://ubuntu-touch.io/install17:11
_Tagthat's what i was trying, using that installer17:12
_Tagthe orange one with the cute robot17:12
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> If nothing else, try running the appimage with sudo. Usually does the trick.17:12
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Udev rules and adb craziness. Still quite a few things to work out.17:12
_Tagtrying with sudo17:14
_Tagit's pushing17:14
_Tagand... done17:14
_Tag man, this one was easy :)17:14
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Great!17:15
_Taglet's see :) I really want to use it as my primary phone17:15
_Tageven when i know perhaps going for 16.04 is not the best idea :)17:15
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Ideally we go without needing root access... Many distributions don't give us that luxury17:15
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> It almost 90% is not...17:16
_Tagdo you mean i shout stick in 15?17:16
ubptgbot<dohbee> btw, you could just run `system-image-cli -vvvv --switch ubports-touch/16.04/devel` directly on the phone over adb/ssh17:16
ubptgbot<dohbee> if you want a daily phone with it, yes17:17
_Tagah17:17
_Tagno prob, is there a way of using whatsapp? i tried LinqM but it failed17:17
_Tagold protocol it said17:17
_TagI use both, telegram and whatsapp17:17
ubptgbot<dohbee> not yet, as whatsapp is proprietary and not available for general linux usage. if/when anbox support gets enabled on that device, it should be usable in anbox though17:18
_Tagwell, it's ok :)17:19
_Tagre17:43
_Tagman, i'm trying to install now anbox17:43
_Tagbut i can't figure out the partition name17:43
_Tagwith bootimg it says "partition table doesn't exist"17:43
ubptgbot<dohbee> anbox is not supported on nexus 5 yet17:44
_Tagso I assume bootimg is not a valid partition table :)17:44
_Tagaaaah17:44
ubptgbot<dohbee> so you can't install it17:44
_Tagthat's a good reason for not working17:44

_Tagthank you very much :)17:57

jaydemiris there an iso for ubuntu touch on x86 yet?19:51
jaydemirI found some targz files but I cant boot into it. I've copied the files onto a drive and also tried rolling them into an iso and flashing to a USB that way19:52
ubptgbot<dohbee> no, there's no iso for ubuntu with unity8 yet19:52
ubptgbot<dohbee> the rootfs tarball is not a bootable system. it doesn't contain bootloader or kernel.19:53
jaydemirso there's no way I can get ubuntu touch on my x86 tablet?19:53
ubptgbot<dohbee> no. you can install ubuntu 16.04, and then install the ubports unity8 on top of it19:54
jaydemirwhats the package called?19:55
jaydemirand would I change to that like I would any other DE from the login screen?19:56
ubptgbot<dohbee> it's not a package in ubuntu archives. you have to follow the "try ubports unity8 on ubuntu 16.04" instructions to install it19:56
jaydemirgot you19:56
ubptgbot<dohbee> yes, unity8 is just another shell19:56
jaydemirfair enough. Still itching to try it but I dont have a nexus device. The LG G2 is basically a nexus 5 on steroids so I'll give that a shot19:57
ubptgbot<dohbee> lg g2?19:58
ubptgbot<dohbee> it is not a currently supported device19:58
jaydemirall good20:01
jaydemirtricked the installer into doing a flash20:01
jaydemirI have another G2 if anything20:01
ubptgbot<Gorsh2> Hi folks, I've just learned that other models have tethering enabled (i.e. "access point" option). But my N4 with 15.04 doesn't... Any reason for that?20:03
ubptgbot<dohbee> it was disabled on mako explicitly, as it was causing some problems. nobody ever resolved the issues. i don't recall what the issues were specifically20:03
ubptgbot<dohbee> as in it was disabled on mako explicitly, back in the canonical days20:04
ubptgbot<Gorsh2> Oh... I always thought no UT had it20:09
ubptgbot<Gorsh2> IS there any way to re-enable it?20:09
ubptgbot<dohbee> find the code that disables it, and make a patch to change it20:10
ubptgbot<Gorsh2> Thanks, will check20:12
jaydemirIs it hard to put Ubuntu touch on an unsupported device?20:41
ubptgbot<dohbee> assuming all the underlying requirements are met, it's generally more tedious than difficult20:42
jaydemirAh. There a list of these requirements?20:45
ubptgbot<dohbee> i think the porting guide states all the requirements20:45
ubptgbot<dohbee> (i do not recall the url for it, but it's somehere on ubports.com)20:45
jaydemirGot you.20:46
ubptgbot<advocatux> jaydemir see this https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/introduction.html20:56
