ubptgbot<jose duran> Fwd from jose duran: Hello, I would like to know if Ubuntu Touch can be installed on a HP Slate 7 tablet with Windows 10?00:56
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @jose duran [Hello, I would like to know if Ubuntu Touch can be installed on a HP Slate 7 tab …], no - it can not.  But you can easily install standard desktop Ubuntu or one of its flavors on it01:00
ubptgbot<dohbee> Nope01:02
ubptgbot<jose duran> @dohbee [Nope], Ok thank you01:04
ubptgbot<DCR> Linux's mascot name is Tux and does UBport's mascot have a name also?03:49
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @DCR [Linux's mascot name is Tux and does UBport's mascot have a name also?], it's Yumi04:02
ubptgbot<DCR> Oh that's an amazing name.04:15
ubptgbot<FinlayDaG33k> That's almost like Yuumi (League of Legends character) XD08:45

ubptgbot<Volkmar> @Flohack [Especially when Dekko 2 has no network, it tries to get connection every 20s or …], I have to get back to this discussion. I do get email notifications after dekko2 is closed. It seems the service looking for new mail is not closed properly when closing dekko2. Bug or feature?10:47
ubptgbot<Flohack> @Volkmar [I have to get back to this discussion. I do get email notifications after dekko2 …], Background daemon ^^10:48
ubptgbot<Flohack> It was introduced as otherwise you will never get notifications about new mails10:48
ubptgbot<Flohack> Its a bit hackish though10:48
ubptgbot<J0SH1X> @Flohack [Background daemon ^^], how is angler going , i paused halium stuff for android q ,were near stable by now10:49
ubptgbot<Volkmar> Ok, so to save battery life I'd have to reboot?10:49
ubptgbot<mymike00> @Volkmar [Ok, so to save battery life I'd have to reboot?], the daemon starts when you switch on the phone, so a reboot doesn't kill it10:51
ubptgbot<Flohack> @J0SH1X [how is angler going , i paused halium stuff for android q ,were near stable by n …], Not well, its parked, as I fell back with my efforts. Now its stuck on boot, I can ping it via RNDIS but no logs, no ssh nothing. Seems the whole upstart hangs indefintely10:52
ubptgbot<imraniqbal> @Volkmar [Ok, so to save battery life I'd have to reboot?], I've gone into this in some detail and I'm using the workaround that I've described in the Dekko group.  Are you happy only checking for e-mail manullay?10:54
ubptgbot<imraniqbal> @Volkmar [Ok, so to save battery life I'd have to reboot?], [Edit] I've gone into this in some detail and I'm using the workaround that I've described in the Dekko group.  Are you happy only checking for e-mail manually?10:54
ubptgbot<Volkmar> @imraniqbal [I've gone into this in some detail and I'm using the workaround that I've descri …], Depends on... At home i prefer to get notifications, at workdays I'm happy with manual checking.11:22
ubptgbot<imraniqbal> @Volkmar [Depends on... At home i prefer to get notifications, at workdays I'm happy with …], How many e-mail accounts do you have in Dekko?11:23
ubptgbot<Volkmar> @imraniqbal [How many e-mail accounts do you have in Dekko?], Just one11:24
ubptgbot<imraniqbal> OK, as long as you don't mind changing the settings when switching from home/work, then there's a workaround for you:11:25
ubptgbot<imraniqbal> When you want to switch off automatic checking (and save battery), you need something like this (I've used the biggest available number):11:27
ubptgbot<imraniqbal> (Photo, 1283x572) https://irc.ubports.com/iLuHKn72.png11:27
ubptgbot<imraniqbal> When you want automatic checking again, just change it to any number you please.11:28
ubptgbot<Volkmar> Thank you, that sounds reasonable. I can switch setting at the same time when I turn off wireless11:30
ubptgbot<imraniqbal> I just need to show you how to manually check for mail (when you set that long number):11:30
ubptgbot<imraniqbal> (Photo, 607x398) https://irc.ubports.com/yyFpdiro.png11:35
ubptgbot<imraniqbal> @Volkmar [Thank you, that sounds reasonable. I can switch setting at the same time when I …], You want to hit `Sync folder` to manually check e-mail.  Getting to this menu is a little tricky — you have to swipe left on `All inboxes` to reveal a button, which then displays this menu.11:37
ubptgbot<imraniqbal> Thanks to @malditobastardo for this method!11:37
ubptgbot<imraniqbal> [Edit] Thanks to @malditobastardo for originally explaining this method!11:37
ubptgbot<Volkmar> Doesn't a swipe down in the in box trigger the sync?11:58
ubptgbot<imraniqbal> @Volkmar [Doesn't a swipe down in the in box trigger the sync?], There was talk about implementing that but I don't think it's there yet.11:58
ubptgbot<malditobastardo> @imraniqbal [There was talk about implementing that but I don't think it's there yet.], That is how it was on the old dekko112:16
ubptgbot<imraniqbal> @malditobastardo [That is how it was on the old dekko1], @hummlbach Is this the still the plan for Dekko 2 as well?12:17
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @imraniqbal [You want to hit Sync folder to manually check e-mail.  Getting to this menu is a …], Ohw cool TIL12:17
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Hmmm maybe in the meantime we could have swipe left auto trigger the button like it does in with mails12:19
ubptgbot<hummlbach> @imraniqbal [@hummlbach Is this the still the plan for Dekko 2 as well?], We (=krille mainly ;-)) started to work on this at the hackathon - we hit a bit of blocker so we didn't finish it. But yes, I would say thats the plan still.12:27
ubptgbot<imraniqbal> Thanks.12:28
ubptgbot<imraniqbal> @hummlbach [We (=krille mainly ;-)) started to work on this at the hackathon - we hit a bit …], The current method is finicky and it's too easy to hit `Mark folder read`.12:28
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> It is?12:31
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Fuseteam [Hmmm maybe in the meantime we could have swipe left auto trigger the button like …], @hummelbach thoughts?12:31
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> [Edit] Hmmm maybe in the meantime we could have swipe left auto trigger the button like it does with mails12:32
ubptgbot<hummlbach> You can use the maldito-trick ;-)12:33
ubptgbot<hummlbach> collapse 'all inboxes' on the very top of the side menu (if it isn't already); swipe 'all inboxes' to the left; hit the hamburger menu symbol and clock on 'sync folder' (or however its called in english)12:37
ubptgbot<hummlbach> [Edit] collapse 'all inboxes' on the very top of the side menu (if it isn't already); swipe 'all inboxes' to the left; hit the hamburger menu symbol and click on 'sync folder' (or however its called in english)12:37
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Yes but could we eliminate the need to actually hit the hamburger menu?12:39
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> We don't have to hit the hamburger menu when we do swipe left on mails12:40

ubptgbot<Furnace McOven> Any idea if smb will ever be re-added to the file explorer app?21:10
ubptgbot<dohbee> it wasn't removed21:15
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @Furnace McOven [Any idea if smb will ever be re-added to the file explorer app?], what is "smb"?21:27
ubptgbot<dohbee> @TotalSonic [what is "smb"?], a protocol, implemented on linux with samba21:27
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @dohbee [a protocol, implemented on linux with samba], thanks for the 411!21:27
ubptgbot<dohbee> there's also cifs which is similar iirc, and better21:27
ubptgbot<Furnace McOven> @dohbee [it wasn't removed], Let me double check21:28
ubptgbot<Furnace McOven> The network tab is empty and the + button to add a new location is disabled21:30
ubptgbot<Furnace McOven> @dohbee [it wasn't removed], Do you mind checking on you phone? Maybe there’s something wrong with my installation?21:30
ubptgbot<Furnace McOven> (Photo, 1080x1920) https://irc.ubports.com/wuCY8MLh.png21:41
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @TotalSonic [thanks for the 411!], 411? 104,28?21:42
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @Fuseteam [411? 104,28?], 411 means "information" - it's the number you dial in the USA for the telephone operators.21:43
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Ohw cool21:43
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> I got 104 for the movies :p21:43
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> [Edit] Ohw cool TIL21:44
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @Fuseteam [Ohw cool TIL], sorry for using slang that would not be well known in the rest of the world!21:44
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> I added 28 to complete the x on 4 clock21:44
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @TotalSonic [sorry for using slang that would not be well known in the rest of the world!], Tbh i also heard it in movies, just never knew the origin :p21:45
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @Fuseteam [Tbh i also heard it in movies, just never knew the origin :p], and now you can confuse your friends by using American lingo ;)21:46
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> "lingo" being yet another example of it21:47
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> I'll add a layer say "what's the 108"21:48
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @Fuseteam [I'll add a layer say "what's the 108"], 👍21:48
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> now I'm learning something new as well21:48
ubptgbot<dohbee> @TotalSonic [411 means "information" - it's the number you dial in the USA for the telephone …], well, you dial `0` for operator. you dial `411` specifically to do a name/number query, theoretically by speaking to a human21:48
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> 108 being the equivalent number over here xD21:48
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @dohbee [well, you dial 0 for operator. you dial 411 specifically to do a name/number que …], yup - all automated long ago21:49
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> ... and now replaced by internet searches21:50
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> ... sorry - just realized I've steered this conversation into OT21:51

ubptgbot<Furnace McOven> @malditobastardo [It never worked for me tbh], Yeah I just found something on the forum that confirms my claims : … https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2549/accessing-network-share-for-media … It was removed at some point.22:19
ubptgbot<mateosalta> ooo, looks like pinephone might do custom color backs per OS release versions - Orange Pinephone could be cool - what does everyone else think?22:21
ubptgbot<Furnace McOven> @Furnace McOven [Yeah I just found something on the forum that confirms my claims : … https://foru …], PS: the solution they’re proposing (making the OS partition writable) is not a good idea. You will lose the “fix” on each update22:21
ubptgbot<mymike00> @mateosalta [ooo, looks like pinephone might do custom color backs per OS release versions - …], yeah, I heard it and that's really cool! the sad thing is that I'm gonna buy a brave heart edition probably and those ones won't be OS-customized...22:24
ubptgbot<mateosalta> yeah, those are black22:25
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Furnace McOven [Yeah I just found something on the forum that confirms my claims : … https://foru …], Odd, since recently someone claimed to us it for file transfers on UT22:25
ubptgbot<mateosalta> now i have to buy two ;)22:26
ubptgbot<mymike00> @mateosalta [now i have to buy two ;)], buying a new (orange) cover is enough :) (if available, of course)22:27
ubptgbot<Furnace McOven> @dohbee [Odd, since recently someone claimed to us it for file transfers on UT], I’m sorry I didn’t understand. Are you saying someone used it for file transfers? Maybe it’s a bug on my phone?22:29
ubptgbot<mateosalta> @mymike00 [buying a new (orange) cover is enough :) (if available, of course)], oh, that would be neat too, i imagine we could print custom ones - given that they have the contact pins for extended features22:30
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Furnace McOven [I’m sorry I didn’t understand. Are you saying someone used it for file transfers …], They claimed to, yes22:34
ubptgbot<Furnace McOven> @dohbee [They claimed to, yes], Ok cool. Then it’s probably a bug on my phone. I’ll look around to see if someone else has encountered this and found a solution if not I’ll open a ticket. Thanks for your help22:35
