ubptgbot<Tygerpro> (Photo, 1280x960) https://irc.ubports.com/UXr475Ai.png Tablet is up and running again, time to start the porting of it (doubt it will work, but who knows)02:58
ubptgbot<noisebro> @Tygerpro [<reply to media>], What tablet is this?03:02
ubptgbot<Tygerpro> Asus Transformer Prime, the keyboard comes off03:03
ubptgbot<Tygerpro> (Photo, 1280x960) https://irc.ubports.com/AMB7fd2Q.png I miss doing this, website on one side, ssh session to compile on the other03:05
ubptgbot<Tygerpro> Hmm, getting errors with a repo sync, interesting03:06
ubptgbot<noisebro> I know that feel bro03:08
ubptgbot<Tygerpro> K that is just weird, I go to compile, with no modification to the source and get fails, added a -i to the end and its ... outputting the expected files?!?! Something isn't adding up03:38
ubptgbot<Tygerpro> ... and systemimage is compiling without the -i, am I being punked or something, this is weird03:42
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> oooh03:43
ubptgbot<Tygerpro> Ok, I got an expected result, it failed, but iirc using -i should -NOT- yield a file if the previous attempt failed03:46
ubptgbot<Tygerpro> I think I am goig to need to go with a 7.1 based build over the 5.1 that Im trying03:46
ubptgbot<Tygerpro> Ok, the code doesnt want to compile in vanilla form, that does not bode well for porting 🤔05:49

ubptgbot<MariartiPro> Good day. Please tell me how to install Ubuntu on Meizu M5s Android 6.0? 06:37
ubptgbot<Javacookies> @Tygerpro [Ok, the code doesnt want to compile in vanilla form, that does not bode well for …], I would be contacting you once I start my luck with my HTC 10 😉06:37

ubptgbot<RALPH KEELEY> [Edit] waited also lengthy with this is occurring you should test this particular away  http://t.cn/AiWCmdJl08:38
ubptgbot<advocatux> @MariartiPro [Good day. Please tell me how to install Ubuntu on Meizu M5s Android 6.0? …], You can't. The current supported devices list is https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ … You can try to port it if that model meets the minimum requirements though … http://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/introduction.html09:17

ubptgbot<trymriverman> Does anyone know if Nexus 6P is a supported device09:35
ubptgbot<advocatux> @trymriverman [Does anyone know if Nexus 6P is a supported device], Nope, it isn't, but someone is trying to port it and maybe you can help (?) … https://github.com/Halium/projectmanagement/issues/5609:36

ubptgbot<MariartiPro> Thank. Here are the technical specifications of Meizu M 5s.09:58
ubptgbot<advocatux> You're welcome :) … Mediatek is usually a bad choice because the source tree isn't available btw10:02
ubptgbot<MariartiPro> @advocatux [You're welcome :) … Mediatek is usually a bad choice because the source tree isn't …], So are the Meizu M5s specifications suitable for installing Ubuntu?10:07
ubptgbot<advocatux> They don't look good to me but it'll be better to wait for an answer from anyone with real porting experience :)10:11
ubptgbot<MariartiPro> @advocatux [They don't look good to me but it'll be better to wait for an answer from anyone …], Thank you again) I hope there are people who have experience with such an installation of Ubuntu ..)10:22
ubptgbot<advocatux> 👍10:22
ubptgbot<Taekky> Just wanted to say: awesome job! Can't wait to get my hands on a suported device...10:50
ubptgbot<Tygerpro> @Javacookies [I would be contacting you once I start my luck with my HTC 10 😉], Lol, Im a bit rusty as I havent done anything porting related in awhile due to life stuff, Im just now getting back to a place where I actually have time to do anything, I thought Id give my tablet a go at porting.  I have one last thing I wanna try for port11:50
ubptgboting my tablet before I give up on it11:50
ubptgbot<Kazord> Huawei unveils harmony os in open-source, will it help to port Ubuntu on Huawei/honor device running this os?12:40
ubptgbot<Tygerpro> Dunno, prob not homestly, but yojr welcome to go ahead and try12:41
ubptgbot<NotKit> is it basically AOSP fork?12:54
ubptgbot<NotKit> ok, it's not even Linux kernel based, so it won't help us12:56
ubptgbot<mimecar> It use Android drivers12:56
ubptgbot<mimecar> And is not a PC distro12:57
ubptgbot<Kazord> K thx12:59
ubptgbot<NotKit> https://www.xda-developers.com/harmony-os-huawei-announce/12:59
ubptgbot<NotKit> "Harmony OS will not allow for root access, which Huawei says is a security risk on Android and other Linux-based operating systems."12:59
ubptgbot<mimecar> That does not affect UT13:01
ubptgbot<NotKit> it kinda does in hypotethical case we wanted to port UT to Huawei devices, but it seems they are not putting that OS to phones yet13:04
ubptgbot<dohbee> @NotKit [it kinda does in hypotethical case we wanted to port UT to Huawei devices, but i …], i guess not, since we don't need root in the existing android install13:07
ubptgbot<NotKit> not root, but the fact that it is not Linux kernel based13:08
ubptgbot<dohbee> i don't think that matters. it not having a linux kernel doesn't mean a linux kernel won't run on it13:09
ubptgbot<dohbee> but more likely, they won't allow unlocking bootloader13:09
ubptgbot<dohbee> which does matter13:09
ubptgbot<NotKit> that means we can't rely on hybris and this13:09
ubptgbot<dohbee> sure, but if bootloader could be unlocked and mainline drivers existed, they could be used13:10
ubptgbot<dohbee> but i wouldn't worry about it anyway, because huawei is not a nice company13:10
ubptgbot<Rishi Parmar> True that13:10
ubptgbot<Stefano0101> @Kazord [Huawei unveils harmony os in open-source, will it help to port Ubuntu on Huawei/ …], especially support for HTML5 and Linux apps ( I presume x11) is very interesting, maybe it'll be easier to port some apps to UT :-)13:14
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Stefano0101 [especially support for HTML5 and Linux apps ( I presume x11) is very interesting …], i highly doubt it will be helpful to us in any respect13:16
ubptgbot<Stefano0101> @dohbee [but i wouldn't worry about it anyway, because huawei is not a nice company], who told you that? US or UK government? How about Google and Apple and MIcrosoft, they are nice companies? There was a proposal from Huawei to completely get checked their software, source code, all of it is spite of ,, spying'' accusation and nobody13:17
ubptgbot cared about it. SO?13:17
ubptgbot<Stefano0101> @dohbee [i highly doubt it will be helpful to us in any respect], but UT can run HTML5 apps, so this should be easier to repack it-port it, or no?13:18
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Stefano0101 [who told you that? US or UK government? How about Google and Apple and MIcrosoft …], stop being defensive of chinese corporations and stick on topic please.13:18
ubptgbot<Stefano0101> @dohbee [stop being defensive of chinese corporations and stick on topic please.], ok13:18
ubptgbot<Kazord> @Stefano0101 [especially support for HTML5 and Linux apps ( I presume x11) is very interesting …], Hum, maybe in term of porting app between both but even on that I have doubts13:24
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Stefano0101 [but UT can run HTML5 apps, so this should be easier to repack it-port it, or no?], chromeos, webos and firefox os were built entirely around html/js apps. but all those aren't ported to UT13:25
ubptgbot<Stefano0101> @dohbee [chromeos, webos and firefox os were built entirely around html/js apps. but all …], but it's still interesting to see something new out there, hope I'm not wrong and it won't turn to Android-ish with apps spying on users... but I suppose it's all about money.13:36
ubptgbot<Stefano0101> @Kazord [Hum, maybe in term of porting app between both but even on that I have doubts], it was just a thought.13:36
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> @Stefano0101 [but it's still interesting to see something new out there, hope I'm not wrong an …], Maybe not, but it appears it will be locked down. In any case it doesn't exist yet, so debating about it is kinda useless.14:11

ubptgbot<OverCoder> moo14:12
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> baa14:12
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Welcome to the farm14:12
ubptgbot<OverCoder> ok14:13
ubptgbot<OverCoder> can I install this on any device14:13
ubptgbot<OverCoder> or is it only the 7 or whatever many listed devices14:13
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Only the devices listed at devices.ubuntu-touch.io. To install on other devices, you'd need to create a port which requires a bit of knowledge on Android and C (or, alternatively, a will to learn)14:14
ubptgbot<OverCoder> smh I am not a C guy but14:15
ubptgbot<OverCoder> I dealt with C before14:15
ubptgbot<OverCoder> I'll try a bit later maybe14:15
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Well C, C++, it's just helpful to know how stuff gets stuck together14:15
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> And what it means when gcc yells at you14:15
ubptgbot<OverCoder> ok I know how stuff gets stuck together14:15
ubptgbot<OverCoder> also14:15
ubptgbot<OverCoder> how does Touch perform on older devices14:15
ubptgbot<OverCoder> point is I am interested into running this on my older devices to make any useful usage of them14:15
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> If it shipped with Android 5.1 or 7.1 you're good14:16
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> If not you're not14:16
ubptgbot<OverCoder> ok i'm not then14:16
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> (some restrictions apply)14:16
ubptgbot<dohbee> or well, if there is a lineageos 14 port for it, you should be ok, too, assuming it originally shipped with at least android 4.2, i think14:17
ubptgbot<OverCoder> there is not14:17
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> We don't support or have all the code for the 4.4 ports14:17
ubptgbot<OverCoder> thing is it is pretty old, .5GB of RAM etc, but like, I just want it to stay connected to Wi-Fi so I can attach a storage to it and use it like a NAS14:18
ubptgbot<OverCoder> technically this wouldn't need more than .2 GB of RAM14:18
ubptgbot<OverCoder> but well14:18
ubptgbot<dohbee> @OverCoder [thing is it is pretty old, .5GB of RAM etc, but like, I just want it to stay con …], buy a Raspberry Pi for $40 instead14:18
ubptgbot<OverCoder> gg android14:18
ubptgbot<OverCoder> @dohbee [buy a Raspberry Pi for $40 instead], I already have to buy storage first etc., but yea looks like I have to14:18
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Yeah, a different computer might be a better option in that situation. You won't go very far with that little horsepower.14:18
ubptgbot<OverCoder> hmm14:18
ubptgbot<OverCoder> I wish I could instead install like14:19
ubptgbot<dohbee> Ubuntu Touch is built and designed a phone OS, not a traditional Linux distro14:19
ubptgbot<OverCoder> Arch linux there lol14:19
ubptgbot<dohbee> maybe you can install postmarketOS14:19
ubptgbot<malditobastardo> There is arch for the pi14:19
ubptgbot<OverCoder> @dohbee [maybe you can install postmarketOS], checking that out14:19
ubptgbot<dohbee> it's more like what you're looking for i guess14:19
ubptgbot<OverCoder> wait I just remember, I have an actual device that should do well14:26
ubptgbot<OverCoder> hmm14:26

ubptgbot<stanza> Ho guys. I own a BQ E4.5 with ubuntu version 15.04 installed15:47
ubptgbot<stanza> Is it possible to upgrade it? I think that the phone was sold with ubuntu pre installed15:47
ubptgbot<alan_griffiths> @stanza [Ho guys. I own a BQ E4.5 with ubuntu version 15.04 installed], Welcome. Yes, upgrade is possible. I think you should just need to use the installer.15:48
ubptgbot<stanza> I installed it on my linux box. It tells me to reboot phone in bootloader mode. After doing that the installer seems to be stuck, it does not (maybe) recognize the device15:50
ubptgbot<dohbee> @stanza [I installed it on my linux box. It tells me to reboot phone in bootloader mode. …], make sure you have `fastboot` and `adb` tools installed15:50
ubptgbot<stanza> (Photo, 1280x720) https://irc.ubports.com/0oxuRyE0.png16:13
ubptgbot<stanza> I have them installer16:13
ubptgbot<stanza> Installed. The installer is stuck this way, see the photo16:13
ubptgbot<stanza> Unfortunately I do not know how to proceed further in the installation16:14
ubptgbot<stanza> Should I file a bug? Or am I missing something?16:14
ubptgbot<sheepYT> Does this work on the samsung galaxy note 10.116:17
ubptgbot<sheepYT> 201216:17
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> No16:17
ubptgbot<sheepYT> Ok16:17

In the blog post I noticed the change log included a wireless display fix, but my phone detects the connected device and hangs on connecting. Is that still a known16:29
ubptgbot issue not fixed?16:29
ubptgbot<dohbee> @John (Marlin) [I added comments on a few issues relevant to my device (Nexus 5). In the blog po …], are you connecting to a MS Wireless Dislay Adapter?16:29
ubptgbot<John (Marlin)> @dohbee [are you connecting to a MS Wireless Dislay Adapter?], Miracast. Generic, I think. Not sure.16:32
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> I can only guarantee it works with a Microsoft Display Adapter16:32
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> And even then, not that well16:33
ubptgbot<dohbee> Right, there may be other issues with other adapters. it's only ever really been tested well with the MS adapter16:33
ubptgbot<dohbee> also, are you on stable or RC?16:34
ubptgbot<John (Marlin)> @UniversalSuperBox [And even then, not that well], It used to be consistent with detecting the adaptor. Now I have to switch Wireless Display on and off a few times before it's detected. No problem connecting with Android though.16:34
ubptgbot<John (Marlin)> @dohbee [also, are you on stable or RC?], I was on devel, but just now switched to rc for the QA feedback.16:34
ubptgbot<dohbee> ok16:36
