 hi, I trying to use 0.1.9 beta installer on windows 10 (dell venue 11 pro) and the installer can't detect the nexus 5
 using 'adb devices' i can see nexus listed in cmd promt
 try booting into fastboot
 I never had luck with it recognizing any of my devices, always had to boot to fastboot first
 @dohbee, Yep. He has tried multiple times. Seems more deep seated. So bootloader failing?
 perhaps crude but would it be possible to pull a boot img from a working nexus 5 and pushing it to gostranger's? or was that already tried
 or whichever img is needed
 @YougoChats, Already tried
 when he flashes android, it does work?
 @YougoChats, You can see all the tries and everything done until now in the Install group ;)
 that's one mother of a backlog though...
 Yep but is OT to talked about that here. You can ask him too in that group
 A general thought: experience in the Install room points to an increasing rate of failure in supported devices, some of which are quite old. This will start to rival the 15.04 problem. We need to skip forward by 3 years or so
 Any update on nexus 5x
 @leoaslan, It has been very difficult to port apparently. It may even be abandoned? It is not much like Nexus 5
 @Stereofont, Oops that's was the only device available for me to purchase in my region
 @leoaslan, Porting is extremely difficult and specific for each phone. Maybe Dalton will get more time when 16.04 is stable
 @leoaslan, Did you look at the community port, Titan?
 https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-blog-1/post/a-titan-in-the-community-93
 Does anybody have problem with CuteSpotify? It doesn't show any playlists anymore. Cleaned cache, data and even reinstalled it and still not working. Android spotify shows playlists just fine.
 I imagine you have a premium account? Without it does not work
 Iirc the library Cutespotify uses is deprecated...
 @milkor73, Yes I have.
 It worked about week ago.
 Maybe I should install Mopidy again. It worked quite well..
 @samitormanen, can I PM you, it is about UBwriters tutorials
 @milkor73, Ok, sure.

[12:07] <ubptgbot> <Furnace McOven> Hey guys. what are the prerequisites for me to install Ubuntu touch on my Nexus 5. … I have already unlocked the bootloader. … The phone is not rooted … I don't have a custom recovery installed … It's on Android 6.0.1
 @Furnace McOven, Welcome Furnace !!! Check this put for more about UBports https://ubports.com/page/telegram-welcome
[12:10] <ubptgbot> <Furnace McOven> Hi. I checked the FAQ out 🙂
[12:10] <ubptgbot> <Furnace McOven> maybe I missed the answer?
[12:11] <ubptgbot> <Furnace McOven> I  just wanted to know if my current phone's config is good? no root, boot unlocked, no recovery
[12:11] <ubptgbot> <Furnace McOven> Android 6.0
 Should be fine afaik. The UBports installer will flash it's own custom recovery, root is not neccesary since everything is done using the fastboot bootloader.
 @Furnace McOven, yes, it's fine. "root" shouldn't matter. as long as bootloader is unlocked you can flash. all data on the device will be wiped and replaced with ubuntu
 Good bye Huawei! We wont see UT on you at any new phone! - https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-stop-providing-bootloader-unlock-codes/
 [Edit] Good Bye Huawei! We wont see UT on you at any new phone! - https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-stop-providing-bootloader-unlock-codes/
 (and Honor also)
 They.Are.Really.Stupid.
 @Flohack, :(
 I was actually talking with a German Honor representative on gamescom last year. I wsa trying to reach them for discussing options for UT. Never received an answer.
 [Edit] I was actually talking with a German Honor representative on gamescom last year. I was trying to reach them for discussing options for UT. Never received an answer.
 To be fair, considering we're so small, Im more supriced by the oportunitys that are actually available to us
 @Flohack, i heard about this.  this is by far the most stupid move they have made and my prediction is that this decision will put the nails in their coffin - period.  Bye bye huawei from all phones.
 I guess they could force their own people to buy it with rifles...
 How about we consider some of these inexpensive Chinese made phones that could actually be a great platform to build something from the ground up?
 Yes but no Mediatek plz xD
 I miss Wiley fox
[14:48] <ubptgbot> <Furnace McOven> Thank you
 @Ismail_ibn_Thomas_Al_Amreeki, Sure. Fine. As long as no locked bootloader ha
 Furnace McOven. I love your name. You are on fire for Ubuntu Touch?

 Do I need to unlock bootloader to install ubuntu touch on nexus 4.
 Yes
 @UniversalSuperBox, Nice interview Dalton! You firmly confirmed that UBports is still on track and fully operational....well done 😁👍
 Thanks!
 interview?
 @dohbee, The most recent post on the News Channel. Dalton was on LateNightLinux Episode 38.
 I was wondering, is the current Nexus 5 port is based on halium-5.1 or halium-7.1?
 Neither. It uses ubp-5.1 which Halium was based on.
 Ah, OK, thanks. BTW, do you think it'd be worth working on a new port based on halium-7.1 to get the latest versions of the Android BSP libraries?
 @Furnace McOven, Welcome Room if you need assistance
 @slp1605, See my comment above. I think Nexus 5 is showing its age. Moving on would provably be effort better spent
 @slp1605, [Edit] See my comment above. I think Nexus 5 is showing its age. Moving on would probably be effort better spent
 i don't think that's strue
 "more people are having problems now with installing on nexus 5" is only a sign that more people are trying to flash nexus 5 with ubports, not that those problems are necessarily due to bad hardware
 @dohbee, I don't know for certain. Statistically, some will last 20 years but the failure rate overall will increase
 If three years is design life, five is doing well
 FP2 resolves that
 how does fp2 resolve that?
 @Stereofont, Just bought a second hand one, and I don't mind investing some time on that. But I'm not sure if a new BSP would have a noticeable impact on UT.
 @dohbee, It is modular. Not a perfect solution but you can easily repair at no more cost than the component
 it's more servicable, but it doesn't solve many of the related problems. it's not esily upgradable and doesn't account for telcos shutting down 2G (or 3G when that time comes)
 @dohbee, Meanwhile in Poland there are many places where you don't get even 2g signal not speaking of 3g
 It tries at least and the display is housed in an industrial casing 😂
 @VeryOriginalUsername, Sorry, thought it's the ot chat
 Where we go from here with devices is on topic?
 anyway, i don't think attempting to deter people from improving support of nexus 5 or other older phones is a good plan
 @Stereofont, by definition, anything relating to ubports is "on topic" here, considering this is the ubports group :)
 @dohbee, Depends on the time it will rake and the amount of energy required
 Also sn evaluation of alternatives
 not really
 [Edit] Also an evaluation of alternatives
 the topic is the topic
 and a group chat is for chatting. if a few people want to talk about ubports on nexus 5 for an hour, it's still on topic
 might get annoying for some who don't disable notifications for any message to the group, but it's still on topic
 More views on this would be useful. Those are two for starters
 anyway, the goal is to move all devices to halium at some point as i understand it
 and we shouldn't discourage people from wanting to help on that front
 Is there any working port based on halium, or are all ubp-5.1?
 (If I'm asking in the wrong place, please point me in the right direction, thanks!)
 `./` is equivalent to `sudo`, right?
 no
 No
 `./` means 'in the current directory'
 Ok. So what does it suggest if I compile a basic C program in the terminal (installed via Libertine) and it tells me "permission denied"?
 Did you do `chmod +x` on it to mark it executable?
 well, what does `file <yourthing>` say it is?
 Dalton, yes.
 because it's probably not built for the architecture you're trying to run it on
 I would expect "exec format error" in that case
 Rodney: hello_world: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=6865eb603050836199cccea861bc93afab2840bb, not stripped
 Is `Permission denied` the only error?
 Yes, compilation goes fine.
 Any apparmor denies in `dmesg`?
 Will check in a sec. But ls -al doesn't show any x's next to the file. I should probably be running chmod +x in the native UT terminal, rather than the Libertine one.
 well there you go
 That doesn't change things. Hmmm. Can't make it executable in either terminal.
 Why would that be?
 Is the file residing in a place that's mounted with `noexec`?
 `mount |grep noexec`
 you're running the command wrong?
 For some reason this seems to be because I was doing it within the SD card folder symlinked into "mount".
 But it works fine from the internal storage, probably because of Dalton's guess.
 is your SD card in vfat? or ext?
 FAT 32 which is I believe the only one UT ordinarily allows.
 well it's the only one that gets auto-mounted
 it's also noexec by default i think, because well fat doesn't really support unix permissions
 so noexec is better for security
 Because otherwise everything is 777 which is potentially dangerous
 This way at least it's 666
[20:47] <ubptgbot> * dohbee kicks on the iron maiden
 Right. I'm fine with FAT 32, this minor disadvantage aside.
 how can I reboot to bootloader a bq e4.5? the installer says power button and volume down, but it seems it doesn't work
 Does anybody have the old version of ut-filemanager, which controlled access to network and smb share with input user and password? Both versions of openstore filemanager doesn't work with these case.

 How should I do that?  … 'adb reboot fastboot'? It just seems to boot into bootloader
 @mateosalta, How should I do that?  … 'adb reboot fastboot'? It just seems to boot into bootloader
 Alternatively: is it possible to flash ubports from TWRP?
 @m_rio, it is not. UT is not a standard android ROM
 @m_rio, yes, the bootloader is fastboot mode.
 on windows iirc you need the adb and fastboot drivers and tools installed, and you may need to run ubports-installer with admin privs
 it's best if you join @WelcomePlus for help with installer issues though
 @dohbee, I haven't tried with admin right yet. Thanks, will do
