ubptgbot<ian_mcxa> Is it possible to receive notifications from TELEports now that Ubuntu One is gone?00:34
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Ubuntu One is not gone, it is a single sign on service from Canonical now01:27
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> If you sign in with an Ubuntu One account, you'll get notifications.01:27
ubptgbot<ian_mcxa> I tried that and I got a 'Feature Disabled' message01:27
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @ian_mcxa [I tried that and I got a 'Feature Disabled' message], adding from "Accounts" in "System Settings"?  It works for me01:28
ubptgbot<ian_mcxa> that's odd01:28
ubptgbot<ian_mcxa> I suppose I'll try it again01:28
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> make sure you are connected to the network.  Perhaps their server was down when you last tried01:29
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> their page is working fine from here - https://login.ubuntu.com/01:30

ubptgbot<ian_mcxa> Do I need to create my account via the browser and only log in from the phone?01:33
ubptgbot<ian_mcxa> yeah, looks like creating the account can't be done on the phone anymore01:35
ubptgbot<ian_mcxa> but signing-in works fine01:35
ubptgbot<dohbee> @ian_mcxa [Do I need to create my account via the browser and only log in from the phone?], yes, the registration API no longer works. we'll hopefully get rid of the need for the account soon though01:53
ubptgbot<ian_mcxa> that would be nice01:54
ubptgbot<Tygerpro> @judicialdomicide [And then another port from the hub to slimport to output to hdmi], I know some samsung devices can do that, but none of them are UT supported atm as far as I know03:25
ubptgbot<ian_mcxa> maybe this is a dumb question, but for running containers are we limited to just a 16.04 container, or could we potentially run newer stuff via lxc?03:31
ubptgbot<Tygerpro> I believe your limited, but Im not positive04:21
ubptgbot<YougoChats> @ian_mcxa [maybe this is a dumb question, but for running containers are we limited to just …], libertine suggests it is possible, but i found the container must align with the host OS version or it won't work. no idea why though06:52
ubptgbot<alan_griffiths> I'm not sure of the details, but the old kernels on most of the supported phones lack features containers (definitely snapd, and likely LXC) use.07:31
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> @Tygerpro [I know some samsung devices can do that, but none of them are UT supported atm a …], I’m sure a next cloud running on a raspberry pi 4 locally will suffice. Thanks.08:07
ubptgbot<YougoChats> @judicialdomicide [Hey I’m new to ubports and just loved the whole idea of convergence with nexus 5 …], reading back, i noticed you mentioned nexus 5x. Ubuntu Touch does not work on the 5x. only the 508:16
wozencroft Someone mentioned here using Tinder from openstore (FB login not working) but it won't accept any birthdates typed in09:30
=== Acou_Bass is now known as Acou_Bass_AFK
ubptgbot<advocatux> wozencroft you can try to file an issue at https://gitlab.com/kelmes/ubports-tinder/issues but I don't know if that developer is active anymore (that app was last updated on June, 12th 2018)10:14
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> @YougoChats [reading back, i noticed you mentioned nexus 5x. Ubuntu Touch does not work on th …], Really? Ooops. It’s arriving today! Lol. Is there no work arounds?10:36
ubptgbot<fredldotme> @judicialdomicide [Really? Ooops. It’s arriving today! Lol. Is there no work arounds?], the Nexus 5x and the Nexus 5 are two different devices so no, no workarounds10:41
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> @fredldotme [the Nexus 5x and the Nexus 5 are two different devices so no, no workarounds], Oh well bought a phone for no reason. I’m sure I’d read it was capable. Maybe I dreamt it.10:43
ubptgbot<fredldotme> let's just say you weren't the first and only one with the exact same question. 😉10:44
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> @fredldotme [let's just say you weren't the first and only one with the exact same question. …], Maybe you guys would love to port it sometime and I can get it out of the drawer then ;) haha10:46
ubptgbot<advocatux> @judicialdomicide someone tried https://github.com/Halium/projectmanagement/issues/1710:47
ubptgbot<advocatux> IIRC Dalton has commented about that model having a lot of weird issues10:48
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> @advocatux [@judicialdomicide someone tried https://github.com/Halium/projectmanagement/issu …], “It mostly works.... “ that might be good enough for me” do I just try it and see what happens?10:48
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> @advocatux [@judicialdomicide someone tried https://github.com/Halium/projectmanagement/issu …], [Edit] “It mostly works.... “ that might be good enough for me do I just try it and see what happens?10:49
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> @advocatux [@judicialdomicide someone tried https://github.com/Halium/projectmanagement/issu …], Thanks!10:49
ubptgbot<advocatux> This is the Nexus 5x current state 😄10:50
ubptgbot<advocatux> (Document) https://irc.ubports.com/7t3LYlxY.mp410:50
ubptgbot<advocatux> @judicialdomicide ^10:50
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> Lol10:50
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> Im guessing by that gif it’s not allowing you to get past that point and enter passcode10:51
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> Ah well I just toilettes 70 quid.10:51
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> [Edit] Ah well I just toileted 70 quid.10:51
ubptgbot<advocatux> You can always sell it again or try to see if you find a way to make UT work on it :)10:52
ubptgbot<advocatux> [Edit] You can always sell it again or try to see if you can find a way to make UT work on it :)10:53
wozencroftjudicialdomicide: Actually you can flash e on that device10:53
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> @advocatux [You can always sell it again or try to see if you can find a way to make UT work …], My favour the second option. Haha. If I brick not real loss.10:53
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> @wozencroft [judicialdomicide: Actually you can flash e on that device], ? E ?10:53
wozencroftYeah, e which is basically android without google10:54
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> @advocatux [You can always sell it again or try to see if you can find a way to make UT work …], [Edit] My favour the second option. Haha. If I brick it no real loss.10:54
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> @wozencroft [Yeah, e which is basically android without google], I’ll have a look at this thanks!10:54
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> Guys do you know if I can get emacs working on Ubuntu touch10:55
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> On nexus 510:55
wozencroftIt was called something like ello before, now just e or e.foundation10:55
ubptgbot<advocatux> @judicialdomicide [Guys do you know if I can get emacs working on Ubuntu touch], Yes, more or less, using Libertine10:55
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> @advocatux [Yes, more or less, using Libertine], Mega! Can’t wait to try this!10:55
ubptgbot<advocatux> @judicialdomicide can I PM you (it's about Emacs and UT)?10:57
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> I’ve heard you guys are helping with librem 5... but also heard that q3 2019 release isn’t going to happen as too many dev issues. What do you guys think of librem 5?10:57
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> @advocatux [@judicialdomicide can I PM you (it's about Emacs and UT)?], Sure! No problem10:57
ubptgbot<advocatux> @judicialdomicide [I’ve heard you guys are helping with librem 5... but also heard that q3 2019 rel …], That question is better suited for https://t.me/UBportsOF 😉10:58
ubptgbot<Braillynn> @judicialdomicide [I’ve heard you guys are helping with librem 5... but also heard that q3 2019 rel …], I preordered it. Doubt it will make the Q3 deadline. Haven’t even seen a prototype of the final build.11:42
ubptgbot<Braillynn> Look forward to what it will be though.11:42
ubptgbot<dohbee> @alan_griffiths [I'm not sure of the details, but the old kernels on most of the supported phones …], Libertine uses proot, so unless one is trying to use those things it's not sn issue. Bigger problem would be missing integrations like pasted and such11:56
wozencrofthtop from the store does not seem to work11:58
ubptgbot<dohbee> @wozencroft [htop from the store does not seem to work], It only installs htop in home dir somewhere. You then run htop from the terminal app12:00
wozencroftThat's what I tried. Typed htop in terminal, some bash error message received12:02
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> what is the error?12:47
ubptgbot<YougoChats> @wozencroft [That's what I tried. Typed htop in terminal, some bash error message received], did you do this bit from the instructions in the app's description? `INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION … - Open the Terminal App and type this two commands: … 1)'cd /opt/click.ubuntu.com/htop.emanuelesorce/current/' … 2)'./first-launch.sh' … - Rest12:58
ubptgbotart Terminal App to make changes work, now you can launch htop just typing 'htop'`12:58
ubptgbot<YougoChats> @wozencroft [That's what I tried. Typed htop in terminal, some bash error message received], [Edit] did you do this bit from the instructions in the app's description?  … `INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION … - Open the Terminal App and type this two commands: … 1)'cd /opt/click.ubuntu.com/htop.emanuelesorce/current/' … 2)'./first-launch.sh12:58

wozencroftOk, thank you for the hints, that was the problem, did not run that script first properly13:01
ubptgbot<dohbee> i do think htop should be removed from the store though13:07
wozencroftOh, why?13:09
ubptgbot<dohbee> it's not actually uninstallable, isn't graphical, and not really usable on a phone (especially ones with 8 cores)13:10
ubptgbot<dohbee> it is not, to put it simply, a converged app13:11
wozencroftwell, those are good points indeed13:13
ubptgbot<dohbee> i would also say most of the apps in the store which are unconfined should also not be in the store13:16
ubptgbot<imraniqbal> @TotalSonic [Have you tried to do the fixes suggested at https://forums.ubports.com/post/1488 …], This no longer applies because `wolfpack` has been removed for all. We're all using raw GPS now. Not sure if this has reached `stable` yet, though.13:18
ubptgbot<dohbee> @imraniqbal [This no longer applies because wolfpack has been removed for all. We're all usin …], no, it will be in OTA 10 though (as mentioned in the Q&A)13:18
ubptgbot<VkProhack> How to root one plus one14:30
ubptgbot<dohbee> there's no need to root anything to install UT14:39
ubptgbot<ian_mcxa> You just need the bootloader unlocked14:40
ubptgbot<dohbee> simply follow the install instructions as documented on the web site14:40
ubptgbotDahanx was added by: Dahanx15:02
=== Acou_Bass_AFK is now known as Acou_Bass
ubptgbot<A C> Because there are no improvements in the graphical interface23:39
wozencroftWhy is that let's say the Here We Go app on android has voice navigation for dozens of languages while the same on UBports offers much less23:42
wozencroftIs there a big difference, i.e. lot of additional work to get all that going also on UBports?23:42
ubptgbot<imraniqbal> @wozencroft [Why is that let's say the Here We Go app on android has voice navigation for doz …], AFAIK, Here We Go is a webapp.23:44
ubptgbot<dohbee> @A C [Because there are no improvements in the graphical interface], What?23:45
ubptgbot<imraniqbal> @wozencroft [Is there a big difference, i.e. lot of additional work to get all that going als …], https://open-store.io/app/heremaps.josele13 — it's a webapp.23:45
