ubptgbot<Craig Cohen> Hey all, I am attempting the touch install on a nexus 5 and was wondering if the phone has to be unlocked ? I am old supernewb and just not sure00:50
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Yes, the bootloader on the phone must be unlocked to install00:50
ubptgbot<Craig Cohen> Thanks00:50
ubptgbot<Gorsh2> Guys and gals, another question, thinking about moving to 16.04... You see any reason for the Syncthing app (vivid) not to work on Xenial if I install it?00:57
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Has it been rebuilt yet?00:58
ubptgbot<Gorsh2> Sorry, what do you mean by that?00:58
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> https://open-store.io/app/syncthing.zeropointenergy00:58
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Looks like it hasn't been uploaded to the Xenial store00:58
ubptgbot<Gorsh2> Exactly, that's why I'm asking00:59
ubptgbot<Gorsh2> If you think it would still work if I download the click package and just try00:59
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Hmm... Not sure if it has compiled stuff or not00:59
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> ZeroPointEnergy, you over there?00:59
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> He is not00:59
ubptgbot<Gorsh2> Is that Jakob?00:59
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Andreas. https://github.com/ZeroPointEnergy/syncthing-click01:00
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Hmm. Not sure where he's ended up...01:00
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Not idling in Halium, either01:00
ubptgbot<Gorsh2> So (sorry for my thickness) using those we could build it for xenial?01:02
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> I suppose?01:03
ubptgbot<Gorsh2> Good enough. Once I swap to Xenial I'll try01:03
ubptgbot<Gorsh2> Thanks!01:04
ubptgbot<mr_annonymouss> @Stereofont, I can't able to install Ubuntu on my phone through window only recovery working and additional files still delay to download so how to install through ubuntu01:41
ubptgbot<mr_annonymouss> @dohbee @alan_griffiths01:43
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Hey, no need to ping people who might be asleep anyway01:43
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> There are people in the welcome and install room who love to help people get started on Ubuntu Touch. maybe try joining @WelcomePlus and ask there01:44
ubptgbot<Abrahamarv> @Gorsh2, ¿Cual es ese?01:44
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Might be a little bit until you get an answer, it's not a good time for most of the world01:44
ubptgbot<Gorsh2> @Abrahamarv, https://t.me/UBPorts_ES01:46
ubptgbot<Abrahamarv> @Gorsh2, Gracias!02:06
ubptgbot<mr_annonymouss> @UniversalSuperBox, Ok02:22
ubptgbot<AngelDMercedes> I hate to be that fella but has there been any progress with the port for the oneplus 3/3t or are all the efforts being put on the 16.04 version?02:24
ubptgbot<exar_kun> @AngelDMercedes, Right, 16.04 has been a priority. Once that is more stable, there is opportunity to branch out to more features and ports. It's always open for community contributions though, so if there were someone with the skills to help out in that area, then there is documentation and guidance for such things.02:58
ubptgbot<AngelDMercedes> I could try to port it again but I am just afraid the process will kick my ass for the second time lol03:01
ubptgbot<AngelDMercedes> I tried once with the nexus 6 and that didn't work out so well03:01
ubptgbot<AngelDMercedes> got super close but didn't get it to fully boot03:02
ubptgbot<exar_kun> Good on you for taking the first steps. That is admirable. There may be someone with more experience who can give some advice.03:03
ubptgbot<amolith> When I'm using the terminal on UT and I switch to another application, why does an ssh session end?03:03
ubptgbot<AngelDMercedes> I have Ubuntu touch on a Oneplus one (borrowed phone) and that was super easy to install03:05
ubptgbot<Ismail_ibn_Thomas_Al_Amreeki> Hey guys.... … Can I use UBPorts as a base and then create my own phone OS flavor based off of that?03:09
ubptgbot<AngelDMercedes> You are free to do so, it is open source03:10
ubptgbot<agesly> What license it has?03:11
ubptgbot<AngelDMercedes> most likely gpl03:13
ubptgbot<agesly> V3?03:13
ubptgbot<AngelDMercedes> Not sure lol03:19
ubptgbot<agesly> Some parts seems to be v3 and others are licensed with LGPL as well (just looked at some of the repos)03:24
ubptgbot<criztovyl> @amolith, IIRC UT has not an concept of multi-tasking (yet), so if you leave a window the application is suspended.  … You should be able to `fg` the ssh session you hade previously after you switch back to the terminal, but you won't have readline-support, so it's not really useful. … I think you can disable the suspend beh06:24
ubptgbotaviour for specific apps somewhere in gconf, but I am not sure where exactly atm and if that stops suspending shell sessions on leaving the terminal window.06:24
ubptgbot<criztovyl> @criztovyl, Well, I just tried disabeling app suspension for the terminal app and my ssh sessiob is still running. :)06:27
ubptgbot<advocatux> Probably the easier way to prevent app suspension is using UT Tweak tool06:29
ubptgbot<criztovyl> @criztovyl, You can use the UT Tweak Tool from the Open Store and then can disable the suspension when you switch from "Behaviour" to "Apps Scopes" using the Hamburger menu, scrolling down to „Terminal” and enabeling „Prevent App Suspension”. :)06:31
ubptgbot<criztovyl> @advocatux, i type too slow :D06:31
ubptgbot<advocatux> :D06:32
ubptgbot<criztovyl> @criztovyl, note that your app might now be killed by the system if memory is low. (killed, not suspended)06:33
ubptgbot<criztovyl> btw, just for fun i recently hacked together a script that shuffles my music album-based, it was fun. :D06:35
ubptgbot<criztovyl> i wrote a little qml file that binds to media-scanner and writes all available tracks to stdout/log using an list model. (so you still have to manually scroll through all the tracks, but that's not that bad)06:36
ubptgbot<criztovyl> i write out the tracks as json, extracting those lines from the log using a shell script.06:38
ubptgbot<criztovyl> that json(s) i parse using python, which the groups by album and shuffles by that.06:38
ubptgbot<criztovyl> iat the end i create a playlist with those tracks in the music app's sqlite playlist database.06:39
ubptgbot<criztovyl> and all with only the terminal app, vi and qmlviewer. :D06:39
ubptgbot<criztovyl> [Edit] and all with only the terminal app, vim and qmlviewer. :D06:40
ubptgbot<criztovyl> (vim in terminal app)06:40
ubptgbot<criztovyl> much fun06:40
ubptgbot<criztovyl> maybe i can upload the sources somewhere somewhen06:40
ubptgbot<criztovyl> @criztovyl, using python's sqlite module06:41
ubptgbot<advocatux> @criztovyl the music app needs some love and it seems you have the necessary skills to do the job 😉 … Just in case you want to take a look https://github.com/ubports/music-app/issues06:49
ubptgbot<advocatux> Of course, the main issue is this https://github.com/ubports/music-app/issues/1 :)06:50
ubptgbot<criztovyl> I already thought about that, especially because the music app is _so_ important to me, but I am not sure if I can take that time currently. (And I don't want to make promises for the future I can't hold.)07:17
ubptgbot<criztovyl> Sorry. :/07:17
ubptgbot<criztovyl> @criztovyl, ```phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ ubuntu-app-usage … webbrowser-app                                                  6127256 seconds … com.ubuntu.music_music                                          2457214 seconds … [...]```07:19

ubptgbot<criztovyl> but now you asked i increased the priority a little bit, let's see.07:22
ubptgbot<criztovyl> the priority which project to try next ^^07:22
ubptgbot<Javacookies> I think you don't have to commit yet … you can start by checking some issues that you think you can solve with the time you can give 👍07:31
ubptgbot<Javacookies> you'd be surprised there are issues that are easy to fix 😉07:32
ubptgbot<advocatux> @criztovyl, No problem07:39
ubptgbot<lschmelting> Hi, do i need to have an existing OS with developer mode installed to use the ubports-installer? The thing is, i wiped the system, so i can't set developer mode anywhere anymore. In the installer, i select my FP2 manually, but the installer waits for me to reboot into ubports recovery, and can't detect my devices there (when the08:36
ubptgbot ubports recovery is loaded).08:36
ubptgbot<Stereofont> If all you have on the device is the UBports recovery, the developer status doesn't apply. This looks like FP2 being troublesome08:41
ubptgbot<Stereofont> Try an early version of the installer. 0.1.12 or earlier08:42

ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @dohbee, what is it missing atm? (aside from tv)10:33
ubptgbot<lschmelting> @Stereofont, will try now10:49
ubptgbot<lschmelting> Btw, do you guys recommend to try 16.04/rc or stay with 15.04/stable? I do want to use it as a daily driver, but only things i need working is call function + telegram10:59
ubptgbot<lschmelting> [Edit] Btw, do you guys recommend to try 16.04/rc or stay with 15.04/stable? I do want to use it as a daily driver, but the only features i need are call function + telegram11:02
ubptgbot<lschmelting> i tried version 0.1.12-beta and 0.1.7-beta, both version didn't detect my fp2 when it entered the ubports recovery. Gonna flash an android image, enable developer options, and try again11:07
ubptgbot<advocatux> My vote is for 16.04 rc 👍11:08
ubptgbot<Stereofont> 15.04 is very dated and security is a struggle because it is so old. 16.04 is a much better implementation11:27
ubptgbot<advocatux> It seems there's still something going wrong with FP2 and the installer though11:29
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Fuseteam, Most everything. TV is irrelevant12:16
ubptgbot<amolith> @advocatux, +11111111113:03
ubptgbot<amolith> I'm noticing some issues that I haven't had the opportunity to test yet but sometimes, entire albums won't play. Not sure if it's because there are so many tracks, if it's an issue with the file format (shouldn't be though), or something else.13:05

ubptgbot<profetik777> @criztovyl, This might be an opportunity to do a email blast for a call "call for maintainers" and highlight the music app as a high priority. I recall the email list has sub-segments of devs vs those who are just following the project. Just a thought...14:26
ubptgbot<dohbee> there's a mailing list too?14:27
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Rodney Dawes (Telegram): eeeh what i thought it was working :eyes: are you referring to apps?14:28
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> didn't know that 👀14:30

ubptgbot<Flohack> @profetik777, Mailing list ?14:49
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Fuseteam, convergence isn't any one thing. apps is a huge part of it, and being able to render on an external display is a very small part14:54
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> @Flohack, The marketing ones15:00

ubptgbot<Nageenchand> hello guys15:18
ubptgbot<wayneoutthere> we are planning a 'larger reach out' for devs.  mailing lists may be part of this process.  all eyes are focused on popping 16.04 out of the womb (nice visual eh??) and then it's world domination from there.   more on this as the story develops.  Stay tuned here and, of course, if you aren't subscribed to the telegram news cha15:20
