ubptgbot<Zak39> Hello :-) … It is possible to do a Android and Ubport dualboot on a smartphone ? :-) … Thank you :-)13:17
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @ian_mcxa [has anyone managed to make discord work? The webapp doesn't seem to scale right …], the discount open source version of it?13:17
ubptgbot<ian_mcxa> I was just trying the webapp, but if there's an open source version I'd also like to try that13:17
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> there is one but i'm not even sure it works13:18
ubptgbot<dohbee> there isn't really. someone started an app, didn't finish it, and afaik the API is similar to slack where your app is a "bot" so not quite what people really want either13:18
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> ah interesting13:18
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Zak39 [Hello :-) … It is possible to do a Android and Ubport dualboot on a smartphone ? : …], it is not supported, no. but some people have used a hacked MultiROM to do so on Nexus 513:19
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @ian_mcxa [I was just trying the webapp, but if there's an open source version I'd also lik …], i think we should ask the devs at discord to make a client for ut, i believe i did start a thread about it on their feedback site13:20
ubptgbot<dohbee> ok, discord's API seems a little bit better, so you can do some things as a regular user i guess13:23
ubptgbot<Zak39> @dohbee [it is not supported, no. but some people have used a hacked MultiROM to do so on …], Arf dommage :-/  … It may be very cool to get this function to change between android and ubport :-)13:24
ubptgbot<dohbee> it's not something we will support13:25
ubptgbot<Zak39> Can I try Ubport by virtual machine ?13:53
ubptgbot<dohbee> not currently no. there's no way to run Ubuntu Touch in a VM13:54
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> you can try unity8 in a virtual machine13:54
ubptgbot<John (Marlin)> With my eyesight as it is, I really need larger fonts. Last night I tried to set higher scaling values in UT Tweak Tool, but I found anything larger than the default 28 makes the display expand to larger than the screen such that things on the right margin start getting cut off.13:57
ubptgbot<Zak39> Ouch :-/  … Can I use ubport on tablet like a computer ? Can I code with Atom Editor ? Create Virtual Machine ?14:00
Fuseteamfirst off the os is called ubuntu touch14:01
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Zak39 [Ouch :-/  … Can I use ubport on tablet like a computer ? Can I code with Atom Edit …], UBports is the community. Ubuntu Touch is the phone/tablet OS. it is not a traditonal linux distro. you can code in atom though if you wish. VM depends on whether the hardware supports it (I'm not sure any currently supported devices do)14:01
ubptgbot<dohbee> and no, you can't just install it on any arbitrary device14:02
Fuseteamand second it only runs on a select few devices atm14:02
ubptgbot<Wahyudi> Alo how to anbox access my contact ?14:48
ubptgbot<dohbee> anbox apps cannot access the UT contacts db currently. you need to install a contacts app in anbox and import your contacts into it for now14:49
ubptgbot<dohbee> (i think the anbox image includes the lineage contacts app already, no?)14:50
ubptgbot<malditobastardo> @dohbee [(i think the anbox image includes the lineage contacts app already, no?)], Yes15:20
ubptgbot<Tygerpro> Is it just me missing something or have wayne and joe not done an audiocast in awhile?16:19

ubptgbot<ahgdq> I'm still trying to get libertine to work, and it seems like the fault is on pulseaudio.17:45
ubptgbot<ahgdq> I see `pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused` and then the lxc container is deleted.17:47
ubptgbot<dohbee> i'm pretty sure lxc will not work17:49
ubptgbot<ahgdq> But chroot doesn't work for me, either.17:55
ubptgbot<ahgdq> It doesn't hurt to try fixing lxc in this situation.17:55
ubptgbot<ahgdq> Looks like it's a PulseAudio issue, the audio part failed during setup, and then it self-destructs.17:56
ubptgbot<dohbee> @ahgdq [It doesn't hurt to try fixing lxc in this situation.], well i don't think unprivileged lxc will work on the kernels available on supported devices18:03
ubptgbot<dohbee> so really i'm surprised you got as far as you did, what device are you running this on?18:04
ubptgbot<dohbee> ```hablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ libertine-container-manager create -t lxc -i xenial-lxc … libertine-container-manager:76: ERROR: create():  System kernel does not support lxc type containers. Please either use chroot or omit the -t option.```18:07
ubptgbot<dohbee> that's what i get on my nexus 418:08
ubptgbot<dohbee> [Edit] ```phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ libertine-container-manager create -t lxc -i xenial-lxc … libertine-container-manager:76: ERROR: create():  System kernel does not support lxc type containers. Please either use chroot or omit the -t option.```18:08
ubptgbot<ahgdq> OnePlus3. I think if the kernel supports it, `libertine-container-manager` will default to it.18:11
ubptgbot<dohbee> oh, it's not a supported device. so probably something else is very wrong there if `-t chroot` also isn't working18:27
ubptgbot<ahgdq> Yup.18:30
ubptgbot<ahgdq> I commented out the pulseaudio related stuff entirely and I can confirm it's not the culprit. The creation process still failed.18:31
ubptgbot<dohbee> i would suggest that if you want to verify libertine working for that port, you should concentrate on getting the chroot based creation working first, since it is known to work on official devices.18:34
ubptgbot<ahgdq> I've tried chroot and it certainly does not work at all 😁18:37
ubptgbot<dohbee> but why not?18:39
ubptgbot<ahgdq> I get a huge influx of "permission denied" errors and then the container self-destructs as usual.18:41
ubptgbot<dohbee> right, so find out why you are getting those. there is probably something missing or not quite right with that port18:42
ubptgbot<ahgdq> https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/Wv4KFVN15TKMUAKUmZkWWQ18:42
ubptgbot<ahgdq> Something like this18:43
ubptgbot<dohbee> maybe you could comment on the issue for the port in halium, or open an issue against Vince's repo for it18:43
ubptgbot<ahgdq> 👌18:43
ubptgbot<dohbee> given the errors perhaps it is something wrong with the filesystem config for the partition which `/home/phablet` is located on18:45
ubptgbot<ahgdq> ```phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cat /etc/fstab … --//-- … /userdata/user-data /home none bind 0 0 … --//--```19:00
ubptgbot<ahgdq> ``` … > mount … /dev/sda15 on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,discard,nodelalloc,data=journal)19:01
ubptgbot<ahgdq> [Edit] ```> mount … --//-- … /dev/sda15 on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,discard,nodelalloc,data=journal) … --//--```19:01
ubptgbot<dohbee> looks ok i guess19:03
ubptgbot<ahgdq> I'll run it again and save the full log this time.19:07
ubptgbot<ahgdq> :q19:07
ubptgbot<ahgdq> The log is completely messed up and everything is misaligned. I'll need to clean it up first.19:25
ubptgbot<dohbee> you can probably do `libertine-container-manager create -t chroot -i xenial 2>&1 | tee libertine.log` and pastebinit the log or something after19:28
ubptgbot<mark alexa> This must be the most gorgeous phone with Ubuntu I'll ever have. Funny enough .... can't see anywhere the ADD TO CART button.  https://www.joybuy.com/1104324.html?utm_source=omgubuntu20:06
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> The Pro 5 can still be had, though the Ubuntu Edition is very rare online20:07
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> But if you start reading from about here, you'll see why it might not be the best idea to get one: https://t.me/ubports/22318420:07
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> (Non-Ubuntu Edition)20:08
ubptgbot<mark alexa> Gotcha.20:08
ubptgbot<mark alexa> Thanks for pointing that out.20:10
ubptgbot<ahgdq> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/9h9GHJG3vh/20:20
ubptgbot<dohbee> @mark alexa [This must be the most gorgeous phone with Ubuntu I'll ever have. Funny enough .. …], you could get an HTC 10 instead, and finish the port. then it will look even better20:20
ubptgbot<ahgdq> The log has been acquired, sorry about the spam inside, I'm not really good at vim and it'll take forever to clean it up.20:21
ubptgbot<dohbee> ```W: Failure while configuring base packages.  This will be re-attempted up to five times. … W: See /home/phablet/.cache/libertine-container/xenial/rootfs/debootstrap/debootstrap.log for details (possibly the package makedev is at fault)```20:21
ubptgbot<dohbee> though i suppose that may no longer exist at this point20:22
ubptgbot<dohbee> so yeah, i don't know what's going on there exactly. is your storage full? do you have some weird permissions for stuff inside phablet home dir?20:24
ubptgbot<ahgdq> I'll need to set up something to repeatedly copy debootstrap.log to somewhere else as fast as possible.20:24
ubptgbot<dohbee> you could just manually run a debootstrap command as libertine runs it, too20:25
ubptgbot<dohbee> which might give more info20:25
ubptgbot<ahgdq> ```phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ ls -lha … total 228K … drwxr-xr-x 15 phablet phablet 4.0K Aug 12 16:13 . … drwxr-xr-x  3 root    root    4.0K Aug 12 00:11 .. … drwx------ 30 phablet phablet 4.0K Aug 12 13:46 .cache```20:26
ubptgbot<ahgdq> I haven't messed with any permissions so far, and the storage is certainly not full.20:27
ubptgbot<dohbee> `df -h` is what you'd want to see how much space is available on your partitions20:27
ubptgbot<dohbee> anyway, i can't solve your problem for you. i'm just pointing you in directions to look where it could be the issue20:28
ubptgbot<dohbee> you're trying to use an experimental feature on an unsupported device. i don't have that device, and libertine works fine on supported devices, and on x8620:28
ubptgbot<dohbee> so there must be something either wrong with the port, or specifically with your phone perhaps. maybe try in https://t.me/UBports_porting and see if someone else with an op3 has the same issue20:29
ubptgbot<ahgdq> Sure, I'll try to save the debootstrap log first.20:30
ubptgbot<ahgdq> Thanks for the help so far, I'm fully aware of the fact that I'm running this on an unsupported device.20:31

ubptgbot<TotalSonic> GIMP running in Libertine Container using the Color 48 theme to make icons usable on a mobile device - https://bitbucket.org/paynekj/paynekj-gimp-scripts/raw/2e8e87faf5eaaf6036e0d8b68ff9f6f37a3f0421/themes/Color-48.7z21:54
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> you still need to use an external bluetooth keyboard with GIMP on the phone in order to have the gui respond21:55
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> [Edit] you still need to use an external bluetooth keyboard for GIMP on the phone in order to have the gui respond21:56
ubptgbot<John (Marlin)> Nice21:56
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> In order to install this theme I had to extract the 7z archive on my computer and upload the folder to the phone.  Then I had to go into `home/phablet/cache/libertine-container/xenial/rootfs/usr/share/gimp/2.0/themes` rename the "Default" theme folder as "Old Default" - and then paste in the Color 48 theme folder renamed as "Default" (22:02
ubptgbotbecause trying to change the theme from Gimp's gui would just crash it)22:02
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> Also to get the GTK menus to be sized to be useable on phone it is important to: create a file named .Xdefaults in a text editor (tedit is a good Ubuntu Touch native one for this) with a single line "Xft.dpi: 300" - or whatever other dpi value which you prefer. Save this to the home directory of your chroot environment (.local/share/li22:03

ubptgbot<dohbee> You can reduce scaling. But UT is not a traditional linux distro23:10
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> or you know change usage mode23:11
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> pretty sure he means windows mode23:11
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Fuseteam [pretty sure he means windows mode], Which is useless at native scaling23:11
ubptgbot<Vlad Mirson> So there is no browser for now for UT with anti-tracking features?23:13
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> yes morph23:13
ubptgbot<Vlad Mirson> Really? I did not find this settings there...23:13
ubptgbot<hummlbach> In rc23:13

ubptgbot<Vlad Mirson> @hummlbach [In rc], What is rc?23:14
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @Fuseteam [i'm think the different windows could be different surfaces xD], yeah - this was set in "Single Window Mode" which I found was less crash prone.  But in multiwindow mode you could indeed have it set like that if you can successfully navigate switching windows in order to get to different parts of the gui (something that shou23:14
ubptgbotld be easier in Windowed mode while sending to an external display)23:14
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> or just switch between surfaces xD23:15
ubptgbot<hummlbach> @Vlad Mirson [What is rc?], There a different release channels for ut.23:15
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Vlad Mirson [What is rc?], release candidate23:15
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @Vlad Mirson [Really? I did not find this settings there...], you can launch a "New Private Window" in Morph's settings23:15

ubptgbot<hummlbach> Edge, devel, rc and stable23:16

ubptgbot<Vlad Mirson> @hummlbach [Edge, devel, rc and stable], I set "Stable". What shoud I choose instead?23:16
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @Vlad Mirson [Private Mode it is not anti-tracking mode.], ok - well there is no way to do Tor on UT currently23:17
ubptgbot<Vlad Mirson> @hummlbach [Edge, devel, rc and stable], I got you.23:17
ubptgbot<hummlbach> @Vlad Mirson [Private Mode it is not anti-tracking mode.], Okay I was referring to the private mode too...23:17
ubptgbot<Vlad Mirson> Tor - is mostly VPN browsing. I don't need too. I just need Google does not track me, because my company will file a law case against Google.23:18
ubptgbot<Vlad Mirson> So we are (all our company) now traying to ptotect all our devices from being tracked by Google.23:18
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> hmmm23:19

ubptgbot<TheMrZero> So, for short, no lucky for now ?23:39
ubptgbot<TheMrZero> Even if my dev is fully officially supported  by Lineage ?23:39
