 Dang
 Or someone gets real antsy and makes an account-polld plugin
 @amolith, have you considered forcing him on Telegram?  That's how I handled my parents.
 just take his login, and get 'er done
 @wayneoutthere, No he's very embedded in his Google services. When someone gives him an old laptop to fix, he installs Neverware
 @wayneoutthere, Time for an intervention?
 And he uses Hangouts to talk to everyone in the family too
 it's time to shut him down buddy
 there's a time when a son must act like a dad
 Not to this dad lol. Especially with this dad's wife
 don't shut down his google (that would be rebellion) but force a Telegram install
 oh.... then do my last thing
 Let me explain this a bit lol because it doesn't really make sense. I live with my mother and my father lives in another city. We don't have the kind of relationship that I would install something on his phone without his consent or even suggest using something different especially knowing how he feels about Google (the complete opp
[00:12] <ubptgbot> osite to all our sentiments)
 And he's more a tech-guy than I am so it just wouldnt
 If he used Google Voice you wouldn't need to question which number to text
 [Edit] And he's more a tech-guy than I am so it just wouldn't feel right lol. I go to him with any question about anything computer-related and he answers in great detail. I have literally never asked him something he doesn't have an answer for
 @UniversalSuperBox, That's a good idea. I could definitely see him switching t that
 @amolith, "why do you hate freedom, dad?"
 His argument might be "Google frees you"
 Lets move this to OT lol
 Is there to block phone numbers? I've looked for a while and I haven't been able to find one
 Nope

 @alan_griffiths, But why?? When you clearly see that unity 8 is the future?
 And more over instead of maintaining old version.. why can't they take ubity8 which can be developed and it will reduce the efforts of ubports??
 It is a free world. (And Unity8 is far from ready.)

 can you shut your phone down completely off, then switch on again and see how far it goes?
 @PhoenixLandPirate, I was born in 2000 😉
 i had reboot my phone, i will tried again
 @amolith, My ex was born in 2001 so I dont know why it suprices and makes me spooked.
 (16.04 dev works good or i need to stay in 15.04 stable ?)
 @PhoenixLandPirate, Lol
 @Kev, if you want to test and report bugs, you can try 16.04. if you want to use your phone, use 15.04
 @YougoChats, let's go !
 @Kev, go do what?
 install 16.04 dev :D
 ok, but if things don't work, i don't know how to help

 does it show a robot and three dots?

 Guys can i install Ubuntu touch in my mi max 2
 Currently, I am using Lineage 14.0 os
 No, these are the supported devices for now http://ubuntu-touch.io/devices
 You can try to port it yourself https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/introduction.html
 if you want something for yourself then you do it
 that's the power of open source
 @YougoChats, Nothing else... The progress bar doesn't progress... (more than 15 minutes)
 hmm. sadly like i said, 16.04 is dev version, i don't know what is broken. i think install went well (usually install works completely or not at all, not halfway)
 all i can tell you is to install 15.04 with wipe option to see if the phone works with that
 Ok, i try

 @YougoChats, same thing...
 what is your phone doing right now
 No, it was blocked on ubuntu screen. Next a reboot, it's in same satus.
 (the wipe doesn't work, and scopes loading screen always )
 @Waldbursche, ok. thanks. i'll fix it :)

 Is UT really really bad at selecting URL (select all) or do I simply not know how to trigger it? It is always like roulette for me as to whether or not I get the 'select all' option.  I'm guessing I don't know how to force that to pop up... Any help appreciated so I can stop thumb-slappin my screen like an empty Bic lighter...
 where is the url depicted? in the url bar of the browser or on a web page, or in tellegram?
 [Edit] where is the url depicted? in the url bar of the browser or on a web page, or in telegram?
 or...
 @wayneoutthere, selection has always been horrible on all touch screen things.
 Yep.
 selecting text is hard enough, but then you also have to long press without altering the selection, which can also be difficult
 Yes URL in browser hugo
 So why does my wifes droid samsung work well and any fruit device? Hardware?
 survivor bias?
 I feel its something to do with process. I will review how it works with samsung buy I feel physical swipe and actions are different
 @wayneoutthere, from having nothing at all selected, tap once on the url. the entire url is selected. now long press the url until pop-up menu appears
 works consistently for me
 alternatively, opening the browsers top-right menu and choosing 'Share' opens the content hub, giving you some choices of apps to share the url with
 [Edit] alternatively, opening the browsers top-right menu and choosing 'Share' opens the content hub, gives you some choices of apps to share the url with
 @YougoChats, Super interesting... Ha. Let me try. I suspect I am the cause of where I am standing
[14:00] <ubptgbot> <Georg Simon> @YougoChats, Card works on my Xubuntu notebook
 @Georg Simon, if it's ext4 you have to manually mount it
 `pebcat`
 @YougoChats, This only works on first page load. Once a cursor shows up it no longer works
 @Georg Simon, usually linux desktop machines are more flexile with reading file systems than generic android devices, or like, Windows pc's
 Now.... Having noted this bug.. What I expect is that **two quick taps** would select all in URL field
 at least we know the SD card is fine whardware wise. try it in an android device, or a digital camera.
 @YougoChats, the issue is not that the UT build can't read the file system. it's that a decision was made to only automount fat32 external storage
 @wayneoutthere, why on pluto would you expect that
 @wayneoutthere, i would expect two to select the current word where you're tapping, and three to select full url
 @dohbee, fair enough, but considering he just wants his sd card to plug and work, i'd say formatting to FAT32 would suffice (and keep the SD card cross-platform)
 @dohbee, agree, that's the usual mouse-lick behavior. currently tapping twice just places the cursor. clicking and dragging selects text after that
 @dohbee, [Edit] agree, that's the usual mouse-click behavior. currently tapping twice just places the cursor. clicking and dragging selects text after that
 Sure. Ok. 3, 4, 5.... Whatever. As long as I can select bloody URL ha

 We really must start the UT Basix video series eh UBAMmers?
[14:25] <ubptgbot> <Georg Simon> @YougoChats, I can on my FP use fdisk and make a "W95 FAT32" partition and use partprobe, umount, and mkfs.vfat. But "External Drives" continues to suggest to format the card.
 to ensure the card is now formatted correctly please try other devices too
 What do you guys think the timeline is on having UT (or any other Linux project) that is able to run Uber and Lyft?  My phone is basically an Uber and Lyft machine and that's it lol
 @Georg Simon, Can you elaborate what you are expecting here? External Drives is basically just a tool to format and eject external drvies
 @Pete, Do the web sites not work?
 @Pete, We will not get official App support "just so". Either you push Uber to make an APp for us, or you develop your own App. Or you hope its gonna work with Anbox
 @dohbee, You're a genius.  I didn't know I could just do it on the web.  That was the biggest constraint.  That and I wonder if Instagram works on UT...anyone know?
 i imagine there are still plenty of architectural issues that need solving before they could even consider it. plus they'd probably require us to have X  million number of users first
 @Pete, Dont count on the websites forever though. My car sharing broke and is unusable for me since they removed the ability to reserve cars from their homepage. "Too difficult to maintain" was the answer from the support, as obviously nobody uses it when the APp is there
 @Flohack, Yeah I think once there is a stable version of anbox I'm going to buy one of those phones it works on.  Gotta admit I've never seen a meizu phone or bq
 @Pete, If you're in the US you probably won't want one
 @Flohack, Wow ok.  I think I'll try it out first for like a week or so and see how it goes
 @dohbee, I am in the US yeah
 the meizu and bq phones don't have the US frequencies for LTE, iirc
 Damn OnePlus is hard enough to see around here much less those...now I know why
