ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> @dohbee, Unless the device in question is a tablet, but otherwise yes.09:57
ubptgbot<mateosalta> @mattbel10, 32, seems fine10:38
ubptgbot<mattbel10> thanks. I'm experiencing issues with the wi-fi and GPS...I opened a bug report on GH but it is more related to the Anbox installation: https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/77410:40
ubptgbot<mateosalta> Ah, I'm still on 15.04 on it10:42
ubptgbot<mateosalta> Maybe try getting the firmware from the latest flyme?10:43
ubptgbot<JavierPuche> Hi, after an "libertine-container-manager install-package -p firefox"   an "libertine-container-manager remove-package -p firefox"tells me that package it is not installed, but it is. I am on 15.04 stable. If someone confirms issue and tells me where to report I'll do it. Thanks.    Another: I think I read here that there is no10:43
ubptgbotway to zoom libertine apps, at least on 15.04. has someone tried to install an x-magnifier?10:43

ubptgbot<Fuseteam> how many matrix rooms are there related to ubports?11:43
ubptgbot<Krysier> why😯😯12:14
ubptgbot<Krysier> (Photo, 960x1280) https://irc.ubports.com/Qz0vTLu0.png12:14
ubptgbot<Javacookies> that is expected and what is designed to happen12:17
ubptgbot<Javacookies> jk12:17
ubptgbot<Javacookies> what phone do you have? that's quite a known problem with low ram devices like my bq E512:18
ubptgbot<Javacookies> I gave up so I always use my Nexus 5 now for browsing12:18
ubptgbot<mattbel10> @JavierPuche, I don't know about 15.04 but on 16.04 I got that same error for what concerns Firefox. I'm not worried about because on xenial libertine is in development, so hopefully it will be fixed. I'm interested in the x-magnifier you are talking about by the way12:40
ubptgbot<malditobastardo> @JavierPuche, you can destroy the container and rebuild a new one after12:42
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Krysier, The browser on 16.04 has some issues still.13:00
ubptgbot<F_P_S> @dohbee, As a workaround I installed "browser next" from the store.... though it has other issues as well 😊13:14
ubptgbot<imparker> @TartanSpartan, This is exactly what I need!13:32
ubptgbot<imparker> I'm guessing there isn't a wire app on the store you guys got?13:33
ubptgbot<dohbee> @imparker, AFAIK, Wire is proprietary and they do not allow independent apps13:35
ubptgbot<imparker> @dohbee, https://github.com/wireapp/wire13:35
ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> Go for that phone @imparker :)13:36
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @TartanSpartan, ohw crud only 3 left i want one but i don't have enough money yet D:13:37
ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> They constantly update their stock so don't worry if you can't buy it yet.13:38
ubptgbot<dohbee> @imparker, that is a really weird license agreement that makes no sense13:38
ubptgbot<dohbee> anyway, if you want a real wire app on ubuntu, it'd probably be best to ask them to create an app themselves13:39
ubptgbot<dohbee> i guess theoretically possible to build a wire app, and get push notification support into their server, but looks like it'd be extremely tedious to do so and work with them to get it done13:42
ubptgbot<imparker> could you make a web app?13:42
ubptgbot<dohbee> and indeed, there is no wire app in the store currently13:42
ubptgbot<imparker> all their client stuff is electron13:42
ubptgbot<dohbee> @imparker, i guess, but it'd be very limited in utility for a communications app13:43
ubptgbot<imparker> extrapolate13:43
ubptgbot<dohbee> @imparker, "web app" on UT is just a link to a web site that opens in a confined browser instance. "html5 app" would be more like what electron things are. but electron itself wouldn't make much sense to use on UT generally13:44
ubptgbot<imparker> So what do you think would be the best way to go about building one, if I was to undertake it myself?13:44
ubptgbot<dohbee> @imparker, apps are confined. without push notifications and all the work to do full integration, you're just using the web site. you don't get background processing or anything13:44
ubptgbot<dohbee> i'd say a native app would be best, with push notification support added to their server13:45
ubptgbot<imparker> If I was to write a native app, what language do you think would be best?13:45
ubptgbot<dohbee> but if you just want to get something working, a webapp would probably be quickest13:46
ubptgbot<dohbee> qml is the standard UI toolkit for UT apps, and c++ qml plug-ins for backend stuff13:47
ubptgbot<dohbee> some apps are in go or python though, with qml ui13:47
ubptgbot<imparker> I'm not much of a programmer, but I think I could get something figured out in order to get some form of communication going13:52
ubptgbot<vanyasem> better join openstore or ubuntu app dev chat13:52
ubptgbot<vanyasem> https://t.me/UbuntuAppDevEN this one13:53
ubptgbot<vanyasem> and openstore chat requires an invitation13:53
ubptgbot<imparker> @vanyasem, done, thanks13:55
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @TartanSpartan, oooh nice i got some hope14:20
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> i'm gonna assume that's the best version to flash UT on14:24
ubptgbot<JavierPuche> @malditobastardo, Thanks, I was trying to avoid it as I have thunderbird in the same container and its config without external screen was a nightmare I did not want to repeat. I have not still found a valid mhl cable for my meizu mx4 😒14:28
ubptgbot<JavierPuche> @mattbel10, There are many magnifier apps for x11 environments, i'll try and report as soon as I have some spare time πŸ‘14:30
ubptgbot<BlueKenny> @JavierPuche, Mx4 has no Slimport and no Mhl14:30
ubptgbotharishmanepally was added by: harishmanepally14:30
ubptgbot<dohbee> @JavierPuche, you can't really use a magnifier, because each app is run under a separate x server. i think there's some issue with video accel too14:31
ubptgbot<mariogrip> @dohbee, xmir -x2 might work14:35
ubptgbot<dohbee> is that an actually valid option?14:37
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> speaking of external display screens......... it appear displaylink has an android app i wonder if we can use this to our advantage πŸ’­14:38
ubptgbot<mariogrip> (Photo, 1280x240) https://irc.ubports.com/9thQzT9b.png14:39
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Fuseteam, not likely14:40
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> awww14:41
ubptgbot<dohbee> @mariogrip, oh, interesting. but too ad ual doesn't auto-detect if it should be used. also, what will happen when we switch to xwayland, if we were depending on that?14:41
ubptgbot<mariogrip> @dohbee, wayland does it a little bit differently, it makes a own wm in mir, so we can change it these iirc14:42
ubptgbot<mariogrip> (window manager)14:43
ubptgbot<JavierPuche> @dohbee, Thanks, i doubted about it so I will not try it14:51
ubptgbot<JavierPuche> @BlueKenny, I read somewhere that it supports micro-usb to mhl but it must be wrong ...14:53
ubptgbot<BlueKenny> @JavierPuche, I read that too (years ago ;) ) but after trying multiple times + read more infos about this phone, it don't support it :/15:10
ubptgbot<dohbee> indeed MX4 does not have MHL15:11
ubptgbot<JavierPuche> Ok, thanks πŸ‘15:20

ubptgbot<wayneoutthere> @Fuseteam, What a great question.  In fact, the UBports Community Team is in the middle of creating an 'official' UBports Matrix Community which will include a lot of rooms.  We will also be testing out our own matrix server, which will be, however, a 'test server', until the UBports Foundation says otherwise.  So, in th16:28
ubptgbote next few weeks you can expect to see more UBports with more Matrix for the Matrix lovers out there.16:28
ubptgbot<wayneoutthere> On that note, if anyone in this community has an active matrix room, and is willing and able to give us the admin controls, we might be able to make your room 'official' too.  So please contact me by PM if this is you.16:30
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> a room or a community? πŸ˜‚16:30
ubptgbot<dohbee> walled garden with a ceiling16:31
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> matrix community seems a bit barebones tho it does allow one to easily to find all the related rooms16:31
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> are there many rooms to be added? is there help needed in that respect :316:32

ubptgbot<Xray2000> Ok mensen Sergey is nu lid van onze groep ook ;)16:46
ubptgbot<Xray2000> Welcome Sergey16:46
ubptgbot<wayneoutthere> @Fuseteam, we haven't launched it16:55
ubptgbot<wayneoutthere> @Fuseteam, are you willing to help build community?  We like community builders :)16:56
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> depends on what you mean with community but yeah i'm a community builder πŸ˜†16:57
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Fuseteam, i tried create my own community so yeah haha16:57
ubptgbot<dohbee> ```: make community … make: *** No rule to make target 'community'.  Stop.```16:57
ubptgbot<matv1> hahaha16:58
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> oh rodney wherefore art tho rodney owo16:59
ubptgbot<Javacookies> anyone with a xenial device on front right now? I just want to confirm a weird animation thing that seems to only affect the terminal app17:04
ubptgbot<Javacookies> it happebs when switching between the terminal and another app17:04
ubptgbot<imparker> I'm getting paid to do some freelance stuff today, so I'll have the funds to get the phone!17:06
ubptgbot<dohbee> cool17:07
ubptgbot<advocatux> @Javacookies, I'm switching between terminal and another app and I don't see any weird animation (krillin running xenial dev)17:12
ubptgbot<Javacookies> really? it's like the other app slides to the left when you switch back to terminal17:12
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Javacookies, you mean with short swipe to the left to switch between two apps?17:13
ubptgbot<Javacookies> 😲!!! I guess it's because of the opacity of my terminal app...it's showing something that we shouldn't see LOL17:13
ubptgbot<Javacookies> @dohbee, yes17:13
ubptgbot<mattbel10> @advocatux, me neither but....wait, what do you mean by switching? a short swipe from the right edge of the phone?17:14
ubptgbot<Javacookies> yes, can you try turning down the opacity?17:15
ubptgbot<advocatux> switching, swiping, rubbing... I don't see anything weird17:15
ubptgbot<Javacookies> I mean the opacity of the terminal app17:16
ubptgbot<advocatux> With opacity set to 0 or to 100, the behaviour looks the same to me17:17
ubptgbot<advocatux> @Javacookies can you make a video of what happening to your phone?17:18
ubptgbot<advocatux> [Edit] @Javacookies can you make a video of what's happening to your phone?17:19
ubptgbot<Javacookies> hmmm....I see....weird17:19
ubptgbot<mattbel10> @Javacookies, yes! you are right @Javacookies, I can confirm to you! I got that strange behaviour: when you swipe from the right to put back the terminal over a settled showed whatever app, the latter disappear in a very strange way.....weird....17:20
ubptgbot<advocatux> @mattbel10 what device?17:21
ubptgbot<mattbel10> pro5 16.04 devel17:21
ubptgbot<advocatux> Unless I'm misunderstanding the issue, it looks fine in my BQ E4.517:23
ubptgbot<Javacookies> heres a video showing it....apologies for the failed attempts πŸ˜…17:24
ubptgbot<advocatux> I'm comparing it with my Nexus 5 (vivid) and it looks the same17:24
ubptgbot<advocatux> @Javacookies, where's the video? πŸ˜†17:25
ubptgbot<mymike00> I could test later on krillin17:25
ubptgbot<Javacookies> it's still uploading on my Nexus 7 sorry πŸ™‚17:25
ubptgbot<advocatux> No problem :)17:26
ubptgbot<Javacookies> (Video, 0s) https://irc.ubports.com/9SP8eaNu.mp417:26
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Ah, so that's how it gets the surfaces to move around17:27
ubptgbot<mattbel10> @Javacookies, yes, exactly the same for me17:27
ubptgbot<Javacookies> it's obvious on my Nexus 5 xenial but not on Nexus 7 xenial17:27
ubptgbot<dohbee> yeah, i'm not sure if there's a solution for that17:28
ubptgbot<dohbee> other than maybe not having transparent windows :)17:28
ubptgbot<Javacookies> so we need to hide it forever so that no one sees it πŸ˜†17:30
ubptgbot<Javacookies> let's forget what happened here17:30
ubptgbot<advocatux> lol17:30
ubptgbot<mattbel10> (Document) https://irc.ubports.com/oyE33pMo.webm17:30
ubptgbot<advocatux> @Javacookies yeah, now I can reproduce it. Also depending on the background color of the other app (and its content) is more, or less, obvious17:36
ubptgbot<Javacookies> yeah I guess that's also a factor17:39
ubptgbot<advocatux> Another mistery solved thanks to Mulder, Scully & Kugi πŸ‘17:41
ubptgbot<dohbee> you can just do it between terminal and the preferences window17:41
ubptgbot<advocatux> @mattbel10 why did you remove your video? It showed the issue pretty clear17:42
ubptgbot<mattbel10> ooooh I thought it wasn't visible...sorry.....17:42
ubptgbot<mattbel10> I made it with my webcam17:43
ubptgbot<advocatux> No problem17:43

ubptgbot<advocatux> πŸ˜‚17:46
ubptgbot<mattbel10> πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚17:47
ubptgbot<Javacookies> can we create a private bug report? so that it can be revealed in the future if ever πŸ˜‚17:48

ubptgbot<imparker> I just want to confirm before I buy it. This is the model that's supported, correct? … https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/95-new-Meizu-PRO-5-64GB-4gbRAM-LTE-Unlocked-DualSIM-21Mcam-NFC-FastCharge-/272196027342?nav=SEARCH18:27
ubptgbot<dohbee> there is an extraneous bit of setup work for it, but yes, that device is usable with UT18:28
ubptgbot<dohbee> i hope you are in the UK or somehwere that matches the frequencies for the pro 5 too, or you're going to be very disappointed with not having LTE18:31
ubptgbot<notcake> does UTports installer just flash IMGs to boot, system, etc?18:32
ubptgbot<notcake> or it does something other than that18:32
ubptgbot<imparker> I'm on verizon in the US18:32
ubptgbot<dohbee> @imparker, you definitely do not want a pro 5 if you want to use it for more than a wifi tablet, then18:33
ubptgbot<dohbee> unfortunately the nexus 5 won't work on verizon either though. :-/18:34
ubptgbot<imparker> I'm not seeing on the page what bands it works on18:34
ubptgbot<dohbee> @imparker, i don't think it supports CDMA at all, and it definitely doesn't do US LTE18:34
ubptgbot<imparker> (Photo, 734x194) https://irc.ubports.com/pLkXxV5w.png18:36
ubptgbot<dohbee> right. no CDMA at all18:36
ubptgbot<notcake> My legacy Android-edition Meizu MX4 is semi-unlocked (TWRP is installed), so I wonder if I can just flash IMGs18:36
ubptgbot<notcake> Fwd from notcake: does UTports installer just flash IMGs to boot, system, etc?18:36
ubptgbot<notcake> Fwd from notcake: or it does something other than that18:36
ubptgbot<notcake> UBports*18:36
ubptgbot<dohbee> @notcake please do not forward messages you just posted in the same chat group18:37
ubptgbot<notcake> @dohbee, My internet is bad atm, so my client said that they did not send18:37
ubptgbot<notcake> but allowed to forward πŸ€”18:37
ubptgbot<dohbee> you can't just flash IMGs no18:38
ubptgbot<dohbee> you need to use the sp flash tool to flash on the original OEM Ubuntu Edition image18:38
ubptgbot<dohbee> as documented in the install guide18:39
ubptgbot<notcake> yeah, I know, but there is a way to load legacy UT by making system an .img (because /system partition sizes don't match on UT and Android editions) and placing it in /data, and then using modified boot to load from it18:40
ubptgbot<andrewebdev> Are there any cheap tablets that have been tested and runs with utouch?19:25
ubptgbot<dohbee> nexus 7 2013 wifi? bq m10?19:25
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> (Those are the only options)19:26
ubptgbot<andrewebdev> ah ok19:26
ubptgbot<andrewebdev> thx19:27
ubptgbot<Nithin Padavu> Almost in the end of last year there was a discussion about telegram notifications,20:42
ubptgbot<Nithin Padavu> That Canonical will shut their servers down20:42
ubptgbot<Nithin Padavu> And ubports will have its own20:42
ubptgbot<Nithin Padavu> Does ubports have one already?20:42
ubptgbot<dohbee> since the end of last year, yes20:55
