[02:56] I have to port it to find out, havent been able to work on that due to some personal reasons as of late, one of which is a borked charger [02:57] @Tygerpro [If UT works with other GUI's cause from what Ive heard a tegra 3 cant run either …], if it uses mesa it should run just fine [02:57] I know there is a UT port that was based on cm11 and Ubuntu 12? That works but I think its a different GUI from what it is now [02:58] easy way to know, does it run wayland? if so mir should work [02:58] I can also boot Ubuntu 12.04 desktop on it, if that helps [02:59] @Tygerpro [I know there is a UT port that was based on cm11 and Ubuntu 12? That works but I …], back then unity8 used surfaceflinger, so there was no need for mir etc [02:59] @Tygerpro [I can also boot Ubuntu 12.04 desktop on it, if that helps], that's x11 [02:59] Ok, is it possible to still use surface flinger or has that been depricated [03:00] Long gone [03:01] I figured, think I could update that super old image? [03:01] No [03:01] the archutecture completly changed since then [03:01] we now run a android in a small container [03:02] before it was ubuntu in a container on top of android [03:02] Ok, so its back to my original plan of a custom rootfs if I cant et it to work with UT as is [03:04] Ill have to try this again and see what happens, I will def let you know if I have to go the custom rootfs route cause it might be handy for alegacy version? [03:04] may i ask, why not use the current rootfs based on 16.04? [03:06] Well I plan to, but if my Tegra 3 cant boot it or is unusable with it then being able to change the base might be a easier solution than making a hack or something for it [03:06] ah ok. if you go to bionic. i would recoment trying it on a known good device first to confirm it works [03:06] Like a N5? [03:07] forexample yeah [03:07] watch out for systemd :) [03:07] Ok, didnt think of that part, and yeah I am not looking forward to beating systemd with a coding stick lol [03:08] Is this something that could be used for legacy devices that were once supported and no longer are? [03:11] Probably not. They are no longer supported because Ubuntu Touch moved on, and it's moved further since then.

Thanks [18:56] @Nathan Willson [Is anyone else having trouble getting their contacts from their google account? …], Yes, I always had these problems since my first time use of Ubuntu Touch. It works now and then, but fails on many other times. Modifications I do in the UT conrtacts app tend to never make it to my Google account. The other way rou [18:56] nd it seems to work more often, but is far from reliable. I don't even know if a bug has been filed for this problem. If not, we should do so :-). [18:58] @TotalSonic [What I did was save all my Google account contacts to a vcf file and then import …], That's a workaround, but it really should work natively. Contacts is a core UT app. [18:59] @Nathan Willson [Steven Berson … I'll try it out.

[19:17] Not Teleports, it's the autocompletion of UBPorts in general. That's a thing I always wanted to help improve. I should go and develop, I guess ;-).

To me even though a transition to different digtial eco-sy [19:18] stems can be a pain to go through - it still makes sense to go with truly open standards options so that no matter what a corporation decides in the future for their API's our capabilities while choosing to use an alternate privacy respecting OS are not interrupted.

[19:23] @TotalSonic [Unfortunately Google has been making some changes recently that potentially mak …], I recently set up a Nextcloud instance at my home server. It pretty much offers the basics of functionality that Google does. I don't see me ditching Google right now, though. They're just too good. Sorry to say that (almost). [19:26] @TotalSonic [TELEports is still getting lots of features implemented into it though - so it's …], Yes, it's in active development. Still I like it better than the "classical" Telegram client (which dates to the days of Canonical, if I am right). Teleports is really a lot faster, but not yet that feature rich. [19:29] @ruedigerkupper [I recently set up a Nextcloud instance at my home server.

On UT the "uWriter" app works well enough for typing out simple docs on the phone as well. But I can understand others' needs are deeper for these things than mine. [19:30] @ruedigerkupper [Yes, it's in active development. Still I like it better than the "classical" Tel …], yeah - the snappiness of Teleports is super nice. Opens and loads fast, and scrolls nicely as well - something the old Telegram client definitely didn't always do.

Sometimes if you are trying to reach someone in particular at a future time it helps to know user name though [20:09] sure, as well as their temporality [20:10] @dohbee [switching apps to find a username is a bit much], I keep WebTelegram in addition to TELEports installed on my UT devices because it fills in the blanks for missing features that have yet to be added to TELEports though. Besides that, sometimes things I've copied from other apps won't paste into Teleports, but I can get it to [20:10] work with WebTelegram.

[20:19] More like it - In your Telegram privacy settings you can decide whether you want to display username or telephone or not. [20:20] you have a username regardless [20:20] @TotalSonic [you have a username regardless], no, it's not required to set one [20:20] @Tygerpro [In my defense I dont have one cause I dont like being pinged for everything], OK, we'll just keep replying to you!

I understand it's not officially supported but has anyone had any luck whatsoever installing it from a Xububtu 18.04 computer? [21:54] @dohbee [how early does aethercast start streaming, when booting up?], Well you have to start casting then restart unity8 [21:54] But then it's pretty fast, the compositor might be handling the displays?

[21:55] There was someone working on a port to the first-gen XL, I don't think the regular one though [21:57] <@hiccupstix> My only pixel porting experience is with marlin and taimen. This shouldn't be overly difficult. [21:58] <@hiccupstix> Everytime I say that I regret doing so, but hey at least it'll be fun. [21:58] Ubuntu Touch is a little different, but there are lots of people to help. You might hit some roadblocks that are due to the system and not you, but the more we hit them the closer we get to tearing them down. [21:58] i guess it may or may not make my pixel more useful if you do get a port working [22:00] It's not bricked any more? [22:00] no, the one i bricked got replaced; and i didn't brick the second one [22:00] <@hiccupstix> Shouldn't matter, rooting doesn't void Pixel warranties. I've hardbricked three or four over the years. [22:00] it's just garbage [22:01] ahh [22:01] "It's not bricked, just bad" lol [22:01] the case is nice and all, but it had weirdness with bluetooth and the screen and after a while i gave up on it and just got the htc [22:02] <@hiccupstix> Idk I'm typing this from a OnePlus 7 Pro with 12GB RAM and it consistently uses over 50% of that available RAM. My Pixel has 4GB and never uses more than 2. It's snappier than my OnePlus even with Fanatic mode on. [22:02] it might be better now, given that it has android 9, but meh [22:02] What could Android be doing with 6GB RAM [22:02] what the heck are you putting in memory that uses up 6GB on a phone [22:03] my workstation isn't even using 4GB, and I have 32 total [22:03] <@hiccupstix> These are all good questions. [22:03] i very rarely use more than 8 even [22:04] The answer: "Java." [22:04] <@hiccupstix> Yup. I have single boards that are more efficient. My NanoPC-T4 has 4GB of RAM and I don't even know what to do with it and I actually use kvm fairly regularly. [22:04] @UniversalSuperBox [The answer: "Java."], "i have 300 tabs open in chrome" [22:04] Start up all your apps in Ubuntu Touch then SIGSTOP them all. They're ready to go instantly, but at what cost [22:05] <@hiccupstix> ....I'm not telling you anything you don't already know but in developer mode you can limit background processes to the hilt and I've experimented to hard close all activities and I'll go to settings and Android OS is still using 4.6GB RAM.

[22:08] <@hiccupstix> I don't game. [22:08] Hmm, wireless display doesn't quite work on RC but it works almost on edge [22:09] <@hiccupstix> I just wanted stupid specs I'd never need for bragging rights - bragging rights to who, is anyone's guess because who cares lol. [22:10] Now all I have is a super hot Fairphone 2 and sadness [22:10] Successful day of testing! [22:11] Wait, no, here we go [22:12] it crashed [22:17] (Photo, 1280x960) https://irc.ubports.com/zDTCm5p1.png [22:17] yay [22:18] <@hiccupstix> Full disclosure I'm going to ask some noob questions here. What's up with Fairphone 2, is it well-made? I'm new to this project, so excuse any dumb questions. I loved my old Nexus 5P, would I be just as well off buying one and installing Touch on there? [22:18] Hey, no dumb questions here [22:18] <@hiccupstix> Don't test me, sir. πŸ˜‹ [22:18] Meaning "That is not a dumb question" not "dumb questions are not allowed" lol [22:19] <@hiccupstix> Lol I totally understand what you meant and it was kind of you to say. [22:19] The Fairphone comes at a price, but it's a pretty good piece of hardware. I've been generally happy with mine, though its use is limited in the US [22:19] It's got the same chipset as the Oneplus One [22:19] The Nexus 5 is supported by Ubuntu Touch, the 5X is not [22:20] <@hiccupstix> Oh my bad. [22:20] I've been known to abuse mine to compile Mir and Unity8... if it does that, it can probably handle your workload. [22:20] and there is no 5P :P [22:21] there is an in-progress port of 6P though [22:21] Assuming Florian stops swearing at it [22:21] i had two here and i would say they are prone to intermittent contacts... [22:21] in-progress != actively progressing ;) [22:22] Right, the contacts can get some corrosion on them and then the hardware that they connect becomes unresponsive. Sliding the parts around fixes it. [22:22] <@hiccupstix> (typo sorry) What are the warranty perimeters of the Fairphone? Only reason I've stuck with Google is the ability to root and hardbrick as much as the heart desires, only to have a fresh new phone FedEx express shipped to me within the week from Google. Other than that I have nothing good to say about the company. I'd love to gravitat [22:22] e elsewhere. [22:23] Hmm, not sure about that. There are only refurbished units available now as they gear up for the Fairphone 3 [22:23] If you're just looking to dip your toes in, the Nexus 5 can be had for cheap. That's where I'd go. [22:25] "Yours to open, yours to keep", they encourage you to repair it yourself and replace the modules yourself... i would we astonished if you would loose the warranty by installing another os... But i didn't check to be honest and not sure what happens if you brick it... [22:26] Well, don't run `fastboot flash bootloader` and it should be fine [22:27] <@hiccupstix> ....what phone is that ever safe on? [22:27] maybe @Ingo_FP_Angel knows something about the warranty conditions... [22:27] <@hiccupstix> Seriously, that's a death sentence usually is it not?
