hallyni guess find -cnewer will suffice for now01:40
hallynso i was in the terminal and entered selection mode ...  how do you get out of that? :)01:41
hallyni had to kill it and restart01:41
ubptgbot<elagost> (Photo, 960x1280) https://irc.ubports.com/4jtOteSP.png First install ever of Ubuntu Touch for me. The installer was super simple and easy. Great work!02:00

ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Uh hallyn: The x in the top-ish right02:42
hallynhm, i didn't see an x02:55
hallynhuh, trying it again now - yeah there is no x, but if i click at top right in the right spot it exits02:57

ubptgbot<Shakendo> @elagost [<reply to media>], Welcome to the UT club02:59
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> You don't see an x? That weird03:05
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> (Photo, 720x1280) https://irc.ubports.com/OFk4vlPF.png03:06
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Like this?03:06
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @Fuseteam [You don't see an x? That weird], this is Terminal for me on a Meizu Pro 5 rc channel03:19
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> (Photo, 1080x1920) https://irc.ubports.com/i7n0XX0i.png03:19
ubptgbot<Danfro> @Fuseteam [You don't see an x? That weird], Ah, that is where this button is. I have never seen it before. Ok, never used selection mode. But I think I have an idea where to look for that to fix it.04:04
ubptgbot<Danfro> You do see it only with background opacity less than 100%.04:04
ubptgbot<Danfro> I just opened an issue for that.04:07
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Oh my opacity is indeed less than 100%04:09
ubptgbot<Danfro> I missed that when I did the header for terminal. 😟 Well, same treatment than the other buttons should do the job.04:19
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Oooh great job with the header btw04:22
ubptgbotzen_monkey was added by: zen_monkey04:23
ubptgbot<Danfro> @Fuseteam [Oooh great job with the header btw], Thanks. It was just too annoying with the floating icons blocking my input. So I took action. 😬05:13
ubptgbot<malditobastardo> @TotalSonic thank you sir for pointing me out the new version of our signal client. I didn't knew the project was being worked on lately!!05:16
ubptgbot<malditobastardo> [Edit] @TotalSonic thank you sir for pointing me out the new version of our signal client. I didn't know that the project was being worked on lately!!05:16
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @malditobastardo [@TotalSonic thank you sir for pointing me out the new version of our signal clie …], all thanks go to @nanu_c for his excellent work so far on this!05:30
ubptgbot<SirBouncyDaRoo> Is there a list of compatible devices anywhere?05:43
ubptgbot<mattbel10> @Danfro [You do see it only with background opacity less than 100%.], about opacity, is there the chance to have the keyboard, when set to transparent mode, to overlap on the terminal screen to let you see the words underneath? I noticed that every time you tap to get the OSK to show up, the row to write on, where the prompt cursor is,07:54
ubptgbotgoes hidden by the OSK and you have to scroll the screen a bit to actually see what you are typing. By the way, great job with the last update, thank you!07:54
ubptgbot<malditobastardo> @mattbel10 [about opacity, is there the chance to have the keyboard, when set to transparent …], There was a way. A kind of hack from Kris Jace to do that08:12
ubptgbot<malditobastardo> The option to do it from system settings still doesn't work right?08:12

ubptgbotban shuhai was added by: ban shuhai08:27
ubptgbot<YougoChats> @mattbel10 [about opacity, is there the chance to have the keyboard, when set to transparent …], wouldn't the correct behavior be for the app to scroll/move up to show the input cursor?08:56
ubptgbot<YougoChats> hmm, wanted to test the behavior, but in Edge it seems the keyboard button in terminal app no longer works?08:57
ubptgbot<YougoChats> weird restarting terminal helped, keyboard responds again08:59
ubptgbot<mattbel10> @malditobastardo [There was a way. A kind of hack from Kris Jace to do that], yes, I remember the Kris's hack for that, I'd like this to be implemented if possible. Maybe later I'll have a look at how to implement it, if any easy according to my current knowledge...08:59
ubptgbot<malditobastardo> I don't know the terminal is behaving different from how it was before09:00
ubptgbot<malditobastardo> Before with one finger you scrolled to previous commands history09:00
ubptgbot<malditobastardo> Now you need two fingera09:00
ubptgbot<Javacookies> @YougoChats [weird restarting terminal helped, keyboard responds again], keyboard not appearing in apps seems to be a common issue09:00
ubptgbot<mattbel10> @malditobastardo [The option to do it from system settings still doesn't work right?], if you set the OSK to be transparent, it works, but when you tap on the terminal screen the OSK shows up not overlapping on the terminal but moving up the text and decreasing the terminal screen space09:01
ubptgbot<malditobastardo> @mattbel10 [if you set the OSK to be transparent, it works, but when you tap on the terminal …], Yes i understand09:01
ubptgbot<Javacookies> @malditobastardo [Now you need two fingera], they were interchanged09:01
ubptgbot<Javacookies> one finger for scrolling, 2 finger for history09:01
ubptgbot<malditobastardo> @Javacookies [they were interchanged], I dont like that09:01
ubptgbot<malditobastardo> Grr09:01
ubptgbot<mattbel10> @YougoChats [wouldn't the correct behavior be for the app to scroll/move up to show the input …], yes, the correct behavior would be that, unfortunately you cannot see anymore the input cursor when the OSK shows up, then you need extra effort scrolling the screen upwards09:02
ubptgbot<YougoChats> i see. 1) type a command that outputs something that is larger than your screen --> cursor is visible above OSK. 2) close OSK, then open OSK  --> cursor drops behind OSK. 3) workaround: type something harmless --> cursor pops above keyboard again.09:03
ubptgbot<malditobastardo> @mattbel10 [yes, the correct behavior would be that, unfortunately you cannot see anymore th …], Why this changed?09:04
ubptgbot<Javacookies> @malditobastardo [I dont like that], maybe because you just got used to the previous behavior09:04
ubptgbot<YougoChats> [Edit] i see. 1) type a command that outputs something that is larger than your screen --> cursor is visible above OSK. 2) close OSK, then open OSK  --> cursor drops behind OSK. 3) workaround: blind type something harmless and press enter--> cursor pops above keyboard again.09:04
ubptgbot<malditobastardo> @Javacookies [maybe because you just got used to the previous behavior], Of course but why?09:04
ubptgbot<Javacookies> one finger swiping is the standard for scrolling09:04
ubptgbot<YougoChats> @Javacookies [they were interchanged], ^ohh thats whats going on! i was thinking i'd gone stupidπŸ˜†09:05
ubptgbot<Javacookies> I think I'm the one that suggested it but honestly I'm not too sure now if I liked it πŸ˜…09:05
ubptgbot<mattbel10> @malditobastardo [Why this changed?], I think this changed originally when the new terminal UI was introduced long time ago....I think it occurred during the Canonical days09:05
ubptgbot<mattbel10> in my opinion it's a bug09:06
ubptgbot<Javacookies> so I guess it's a question of which is  more frequently done, scroll or bash history09:06
ubptgbot<YougoChats> @Javacookies [one finger swiping is the standard for scrolling], on mobile yes, on laptops trackpad no == bad situation09:06
ubptgbot<Javacookies> @YougoChats [on mobile yes, on laptops trackpad no == bad situation], excatly, were on mobile 😜09:08
ubptgbot<Javacookies> I don't know, maybe a new gesture for browsing history09:08
ubptgbot<YougoChats> i guess it's fine either way. just, pick something and stick with it :-P10:00
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Danfro [Thanks. It was just too annoying with the floating icons blocking my input. So I …], Good example!10:25
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @malditobastardo [I dont like that], And it breaks terminal apps :p10:27
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Javacookies [so I guess it's a question of which is  more frequently done, scroll or bash his …], But it breaks scrolling in terminal apps like vim10:29
ubptgbot<Javacookies> @Fuseteam [But it breaks scrolling in terminal apps like vim], ah really? how?10:36
ubptgbot<Danfro> @Javacookies [ah really? how?], it does scroll in the wrong/opposite direction.10:41
ubptgbot<Danfro> I can't explain why vim and nano behave difderent. When I changed scroll behaviour (to fix an issue), I just renamed the functions (single swipe <-> double swipe).10:43
ubptgbot<Danfro> I for my part think single swipe to scroll bash history is more natural on the phone, like scrolling through a page.10:44
ubptgbot<Danfro> But if it messes up vim and nano, well thats no good.10:44
ubptgbot<Danfro> With the OSK, I think, it really should always show you the prompt line.10:46
ubptgbot<Danfro> No transparency.10:46
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Javacookies [ah really? how?], Up=down and down=up10:47
ubptgbot<Javacookies> @Danfro [it does scroll in the wrong/opposite direction.], ah yes, I forgot, I replicated that already πŸ˜…10:47
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> The reason is singleswipe simulates the scroll wheel10:48
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> And well that's how nano and vim behave under the scroll wheel10:49
ubptgbotJavi Diaz was added by: Javi Diaz10:53
ubptgbot<Danfro> @Fuseteam [And well that's how nano and vim behave under the scroll wheel], Hm, I am not sure we can cope for that. Find out wich editor is used and swap directions.10:54
ubptgbot<Danfro> And then it would have been wrong way round before too, only triggered with double swipe.10:55
ubptgbot<Tobs End> @YougoChats [is there any way to process an .ics file and make it show up in my calendar, in …], To make .ics show up in my calender I imported the file in to the calender of my E-Mail account and used CalDav to make it show up on my UT device.11:15
ubptgbot<mateosalta> oh yeah, recently got harder to scroll through bash history - i started using two fingers for it11:16
ubptgbot<mateosalta> and i always seem to think 'close' in that menu should close the menu... but it closes the terminal11:17
ubptgbot<YougoChats> @Tobs End [To make .ics show up in my calender I imported the file in to the calender of my …], yeah, the thing is, the likes of Google handle it by sniffing the .ics files from your mail and adding it to your calendar automagically, while other providers don't have that service and assume you install a client that can handle .ics file11:25
ubptgbots (MS outlook does it well, thunderbird/lightning in a bit of a roundabout way) but UT seems to have no idea what to do with .ics files.11:25
ubptgbot<Danfro> @mateosalta [and i always seem to think 'close' in that menu should close the menu... but it …], Hehe, true. I never really used that menu, until I discovered it recently.11:25
ubptgbot<Danfro> The string might need to be changed.11:26
ubptgbot<YougoChats> it would be good if calendar app could pick up .ics files from the content hub and show them in the 'new event' dialogue for the user to review and save11:27
ubptgbot<Danfro> @YougoChats [yeah, the thing is, the likes of Google handle it by sniffing the .ics files fro …], There is an issue open with calendar that ics import should be made available. Needs some work with content hub.11:27
ubptgbot<YougoChats> @Danfro [There is an issue open with calendar that ics import should be made available. N …], i know. i think i filed that one (or at least subscribed)11:28
ubptgbotprobal31 was added by: probal3111:29
ubptgbot<Danfro> @YougoChats [i know. i think i filed that one (or at least subscribed)], It comes down to missing manpower. But this certainly is important. Same with vcf for contacts.11:31
ubptgbot<YougoChats> vcf is supported11:33
ubptgbot<YougoChats> contacts CardDav sync would be awesome though11:35
ubptgbot<Danfro> @YougoChats [vcf is supported], true. This works from filecommander. It 'only' needs an import option from within contcts app.12:40
ubptgbot<YougoChats> for discoverability, yes12:49
ubptgbot<dohbee> going through content-hub to import event ics attachments from e-mail seems the wrong way to go about that though12:55
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Danfro [And then it would have been wrong way round before too, only triggered with doub …], I guess terminal's work like that in general tho: arrow scrolls through bash history and scrolls normally in terminal apps13:04
ubptgbot<Danfro> @Fuseteam [I guess terminal's work like that in general tho: arrow scrolls through bash his …], But down shouldn't be up, regardless of input device. 😁13:06
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> It can if think in terms of a scroll wheel13:07
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Fuseteam [It can if think in terms of a scroll wheel], nope. scroll wheel in vim doesn't go opposite directions for me13:08
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> You sure?13:08
ubptgbot<dohbee> it's really only since the apple "magic" trackpads has this reverse scrolling thing been a thing13:08
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> I think 'reverse scrolling' is what is in effect in bash13:09
ubptgbot<dohbee> no, the difference isn't scroll wheel vs arrows13:09
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> In terms of the "bug" it is13:10
ubptgbot<dohbee> it's scroll wheel vs direct touch input (aka "natural scrolling")13:10
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Current behaviour is single finger simulates scroll wheel and two fingers simulate arrow keys13:11
ubptgbot<dohbee> with wheel, up is up and down is down. with "natural scroll" it is reversed because the behavior is meant to simulate your fingers pushing paper upward, and thus you scroll down13:11
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> It used to be the other way around13:11
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> We're talking about the terminal app rodney13:12
ubptgbot<dohbee> i am talking about general expected behavior of input devices with respect to scrolling, and how you should term things when discussing the "issue"13:12
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Fuseteam [Current behaviour is single finger simulates scroll wheel and two fingers simula …], This is what is defined in Terminal.qml13:12
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> I realize that but this is about the current and previous behavior of the terminal app13:13
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> As the terminal simulates the arrow keys and scroll wheel13:15
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Afaict13:15
ubptgbot<dohbee> anyway, this seems like the wrong group to have a long "debugging" discussion in, about it13:16
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Danfro [But down shouldn't be up, regardless of input device. 😁], Anyway i think single finger should simulate arrow keys not the scroll wheel, perhaps we need another way to simulate scroll wheel if two fingers too much of an hassle13:17
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @dohbee [anyway, this seems like the wrong group to have a long "debugging" discussion in …], That's a fair point13:17
ubptgbot<dohbee> "scroll wheel" is the wrong term there i think. which is what i have been saying13:18
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> I guess13:18
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> I'm just using the term based on what i see of how it works13:19

ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> Hello i want to buy an nexus 5 for UBports. But my question is now. Is the OS complete free Form propateriy driver ?15:39
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> Thanks in advance15:39
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Its not, current devices requires android drivers15:41
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Newer devices such as the pinephone and the librem 5 are more likely to be 'free of proprietary drivers15:42
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> [Edit] Newer devices such as the pinephone and the librem 5 are more likely to be 'free of proprietary drivers'15:42
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> Ok15:42
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> So than its the same then i use lineage with microg and f droid.15:43
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Not exactly15:43
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Its not android for one :p15:44
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> I like the concept of the librem 5.15:44
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> It simply makes use if android drivers :315:44
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> And want to be free as possible15:44
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> But lineage without gapps is opensource too ?15:45
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> At the Moment i search a good solution to be take the control back for my device.15:46
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> UT could provide that15:46
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> Maybe you can explain what ubports make Mord secure than Android15:46
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> But no android15:46
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> [Edit] But no android apps15:46
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> @Fuseteam [UT could provide that], UT?15:47
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Ubuntu Touch15:47
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> Oh dump me haha15:47
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> But may the android driver are a backdoor for my device?15:48
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> I wouldn't say its more secure perse it's simply more open and more private15:48
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> The android drivers are containerized15:48
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> I am in the poco f1 at the Moment an think about to buy some nexus 5's for me and my friends15:49
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Actually confinement is present throughout the os15:49
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Apps cannot read everywhere only where it allowed to15:50
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> [Edit] Apps cannot read/write everywhere only where it's allowed to do so15:50
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> @Fuseteam [The android drivers are containerized], So there is no probateriy plops in the kernel ?15:51
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Nope15:52
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> @Fuseteam [Nope], Oh thats nice15:52
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Afaik anyway15:52
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Android drivers are user space implemented sadly15:53
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Sadly because that's reason we need them at all15:53
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Any driver upstreamed in the kernel would be open sourced15:55
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> What device is the best and best performance device for UT?15:56
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> I was thinking for nexus 515:56
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> @Fuseteam [Android drivers are user space implemented sadly], So that is also not the same like the driver nvidia function at Linux ?15:58
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> Sorry for my Bad english15:59
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Depends on your usecase15:59
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @snoerrdi710 [So that is also not the same like the driver nvidia function at Linux ?], Pretty much15:59
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> @Fuseteam [Pretty much], Is the same or not ?15:59
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> The difference is that there are no open source android drivers16:00
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> And that they are in a container16:00
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> [Edit] And that they are in a container unlike with nvidia16:01
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Afaiu16:01
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> @Fuseteam [And that they are in a container unlike with nvidia], And when it's in a Container than it has no acess to system or kernel right? Like its sandboxed? Isnt it?16:02
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> @Fuseteam [Depends on your usecase], I like good Hardware but its only good as his optimization. So there is the question which device is the best supportet one ?16:05
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> Do you have some sources to read some knowledg about UT?16:06
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> I case oft function16:07

ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @snoerrdi710 [And UT is no sending data to conanical?], Nope the ubuntu one account is not even used by ut16:17

ubptgbot<Flohack> @snoerrdi710 [When will the pinephone released ?], This year you can get only early access developer devices, I would wait for beginning of next year16:33
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> @Flohack [This year you can get only early access developer devices, I would wait for begi …], How i can acess to a dev device n communtiy?16:36
ubptgbot<dohbee> for one, yes, there may be proprietary blobs loaded into kernel space16:37
ubptgbot<dohbee> for two, no it's not the same as lineage, as we don't use android UI16:38
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @snoerrdi710 [How i can acess to a dev device n communtiy?], You can just order a brave heart edition when it comes out16:49
ubptgbot<Flohack> @snoerrdi710 [How i can acess to a dev device n communtiy?], You have to ask Pine themselves16:50
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> @dohbee [for two, no it's not the same as lineage, as we don't use android UI], I mean things open source16:50
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> @snoerrdi710 [I mean things open source], And driver plops16:50
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> *blobs16:51
ubptgbot<dohbee> @snoerrdi710 [I mean things open source], well, aosp is open source, yes. and UT is open source. but that doesn't make them the same16:51
ubptgbot<dohbee> it is a very narrow similarity16:52
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> @dohbee [for one, yes, there may be proprietary blobs loaded into kernel space], Do you know which proprietary blobs are in the kernel by the nexus 5.16:52
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> @dohbee [well, aosp is open source, yes. and UT is open source. but that doesn't make the …], But what makes UT more privacy than asop?16:53
ubptgbot<dohbee> not off the top of my head, no. it would the same as the ones in factory image or in lineageos, as the same kernel is used16:53
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> I'd say confinement16:53
ubptgbot<dohbee> also, the baseband modem runs its own proprietary OS, and it sits below the kernel and any OS you're running, and every phone has that16:53
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @snoerrdi710 [But what makes UT more privacy than asop?], I'd say confinement16:54
ubptgbot<dohbee> apps are more confined in UT, so they can't read data of other apps, and well, facebook/etc… aren't targeting UT with their apps to steal data16:54
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> @dohbee [also, the baseband modem runs its own proprietary OS, and it sits below the kern …], You mean the Vendor right?16:54
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> @dohbee [apps are more confined in UT, so they can't read data of other apps, and well, f …], OK i am now on Lineage with F droid16:55
ubptgbot<dohbee> no, i mean baseband. the vendor blobs are above that for linux kernel16:55
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @dohbee [also, the baseband modem runs its own proprietary OS, and it sits below the kern …], What about pinephone et al?16:56
ubptgbot<dohbee> the baseband is basically a separate computer16:56
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Fuseteam [What about pinephone et al?], yes, it still applies16:56
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Hmm16:56
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> @dohbee [no, i mean baseband. the vendor blobs are above that for linux kernel], OK so make it sense that the librem 5 has a separate baseband chip16:57
ubptgbot<dohbee> also, even plain upstream linux has binary blobs for firmware on various devices16:57
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Only firmware iirc16:57
ubptgbot<mateosalta> @snoerrdi710 [How i can acess to a dev device n communtiy?], i think in October there will be more info for the earily adopters - no os included on that batch17:01
ubptgbot<mateosalta> if you like to flash images and hack at stuff17:02
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> @mateosalta [if you like to flash images and hack at stuff], I love it17:04
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Fuseteam [Only firmware iirc], the point is, if "binary blobs" are a concern for potential spying/backdoors, and paranoia requires you to not use them, then you're not going to get very far with computers17:05
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> I agree i suppose, then again snordi did say, and i quote, "as free as possible"17:08
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> In which case the answer is pinephone i suppose or librem 517:09
ubptgbot<dohbee> or postmarketOS, though you won't necessarily have a fully working device at that point17:09
ubptgbot<dohbee> but also, UT on nexus 5 (and other android phones) is "as free as possible" for the given scenario, too17:09
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Yep17:10
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Is it more free or just as free as lineage tho?17:10
hallynso i have the libertine container running offlineimap and mutt with local folder and smpts..  i *just* need to do notifications from cron in libertine container and i'm all set :)17:11
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Cool17:12
ubptgbot<dohbee> @hallyn [so i have the libertine container running offlineimap and mutt with local folder …], that might be problematic :P17:12
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> No notifs from libertine?17:13
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Or are you refering to cron?17:13
ubptgbot<dohbee> i don't think you can do cron jobs inside a libertine container really17:14
hallyn@dohbee oh well i can leave a script running in a term tab, that's fine,17:14
hallynbut i do want notifications17:14
ubptgbot<dohbee> and well, it would be horrible for one's battery life17:15
hallynwould it?  the for loop in bash in bg seems fine17:15
hallyni mean, battlife sucks anyway :)17:15
hallyncounting on pinephone auto-fixing htat for me17:15
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> So notifs is all that's left17:16
hallynbut yeah, i forgot libertine is just a chroot so no free cron17:16
hallynyeah, i'll play wit hthose tonight.  assume i just need to figure out how to authenticate the curl requests17:16
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Autofix what? Cron?17:16
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> I somehow doubt that17:17
ubptgbot<dohbee> @hallyn [yeah, i'll play wit hthose tonight.  assume i just need to figure out how to aut …], it's not that simple, if you want to do push notifications17:17
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> I think they're gonna do dekko notifs17:18
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Ultimately17:18
hallynFuseteam: no, autofix battery life17:18
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Fuseteam [I think they're gonna do dekko notifs], what?17:18
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Ah17:18
hallynFuseteam: although, yes17:18
hallynpinephone should support lxc containers17:18
hallynso i can run full system container including cron17:18
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Ohw yeah hmmmm17:18
hallyni can't use dekko at the moment unfortunately,17:19
hallynit doesn't support mbox or maildir;  and its imap is unreliable for me17:19
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @dohbee [what?], Dekko also doesn't do push notifs right?17:19
hallyni don't need aything fancy17:19
hallynmaybe i can just echo 1 > /dev/vibrate or something :17:19
ubptgbot<dohbee> you can make a simple account-polld plug-in, btw17:19
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Fuseteam [Dekko also doesn't do push notifs right?], it does not17:19
hallynas a shell-script?17:19
ubptgbot<dohbee> @hallyn [as a shell-script?], shell/python/whatever, yes17:20
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @dohbee [it does not], But it does notify iirc :p17:20
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Fuseteam [But it does notify iirc :p], yes, but it's not running inside libertine either17:20
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> True xD17:20
hallynoh well actually17:20
hallyni'm bind mounting host's ~/mail into container17:20
hallynso i can run the notification script from host17:20
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> oh my17:21
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> account-polld is probably a better idea tho17:21
ubptgbot<dohbee> though i don't know if notify-send is installed (but i suppose you could just install it in the container and run that one from the host, too)17:21
hallynwwhat is account-polld?17:21
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Fuseteam [account-polld is probably a better idea tho], mostly, yes17:21
hallynnotify-send didn't seem to work17:22
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @hallyn [wwhat is account-polld?], I'll leave the explaining to @dohbee17:22
ubptgbot<dohbee> account-polld is a service that runs an executable to poll a server for notifications so you can notify17:22
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @hallyn [wwhat is account-polld?], [Edit] I'll leave the explaining to @dohbee :p17:22
hallynok i'll google it later, thanks17:23
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> he's still typing17:23
ubptgbot<dohbee> i'm not sure how much is doable with simple shell/python as installed in host though. you might have to do funky `gdbus` calls to make persistence work right and such17:23
hallynmaybe i'll end up having to write an app for it :)  hoping not. i asume an app with an icon in the ontification area is trivial17:25
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> That app that uses the libetine container? Oh my πŸ‘€17:27
hallynhm?  no, it can just look for new files under ~/mail/INBOX17:28
hallynit can ignore the libertine-container17:28
hallyn...  but if i read https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/appdev/guides/pushnotifications.html correctly, i can't send push notifications when i'm offline?17:32
hallyni shouldn't be doing this during a meeting :)17:33
ubptgbot<dohbee> @hallyn [...  but if i read https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/appdev/guides/pushnotifica …], you shouldn't worry about push notifications really. if you want push notifications, you should send the push from your server, not something running on the phone itself17:35
hallynwell actually that's a grea tidea17:36
hallynbut not what i sholud do right now.17:37
hallynif i could do ntify-send + vibrate 3x that would be a good start17:37
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @hallyn [hm?  no, it can just look for new files under ~/mail/INBOX], Oh cool!18:14
=== raj_ is now known as raj
hallynyeah, and i'll just use sysfs to turn on leds and buzz, that's perfect18:21
ubptgbot<dohbee> @hallyn [yeah, and i'll just use sysfs to turn on leds and buzz, that's perfect], you don't need that. you can just specify led color and vibrate, and sound, in the extended properties of the notify dbus message18:23
hallyni havne't gotten notify dbus messages to work;  url to an example?  i do have working script that just writes to sysfs though when new mail found18:25
hallynall i need to add now is a diff led color if offlineimap failed ('network offline')18:25
hallynbut dbus would be cleaner, so will switch if i can18:25
ubptgbot<prpleXist> Hi is it possible to access tor or onions at all on ubtouch?18:26
ubptgbot<dohbee> there is no built-in support for tor, no18:27
ubptgbot<prpleXist> Thanks for answering18:27
ubptgbot<dohbee> @hallyn [i havne't gotten notify dbus messages to work;  url to an example?  i do have wo …], something similar to what's described in https://askubuntu.com/questions/788647/syntax-for-sending-notification-hint-using-gdbus-or-pythons-dbus-module but will need some tweaking for the unity8-specific hints18:29
ubptgbot<dohbee> hmm, or maybe you'll have to make a separate gdbus call for the messages menu to persist the notification18:34
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> @Danfro [I actually had to break the news a few times in the German group so far because …], Is there an german UB group?19:01
ubptgbot<Flohack> @snoerrdi710 [Is there an german UB group?], Yes19:01
ubptgbot<dohbee> @snoerrdi710 [Is there an german UB group?], https://t.me/UBports_Deutsch19:02
ubptgbot<snoerrdi710> @dohbee [https://t.me/UBports_Deutsch], Danke!19:02
ubptgbot<FeketeZoli> @hallyn [i havne't gotten notify dbus messages to work;  url to an example?  i do have wo …], Hi, sorry if somebody mentioned, but if you want to save battery life, and push notifications on a simple way, put your main program to a server and use ubuntu one. This is how I get push notifications on facebook messenger: https://forums.ubp19:30
ubptgbotorts.com/topic/3126/facebook-messenger-push-notifications19:30
ubptgbot<dohbee> @FeketeZoli [Hi, sorry if somebody mentioned, but if you want to save battery life, and push …], there is no need for ubuntu one19:30
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> *anymore19:31
ubptgbot<FeketeZoli> @dohbee [there is no need for ubuntu one], Is there a documentation available?19:32
hallynFeketeZoli - yeah that's probably a better way.  maybe a weekend project19:32
ubptgbot<dohbee> @FeketeZoli [Is there a documentation available?], the ubuntu push API is the same, but there is no longer a need to have an ubuntu one account on the phone side (in current rc)19:32
hallynuntil the weekend, at least this works :)19:32
ubptgbot<MotoFufu9k> How would I add a shortcut to libertine? … I installed a console application and would like to be able to start it without using ssh every time.19:33
ubptgbot<Dimitri BOUWYN> @prpleXist [Hi is it possible to access tor or onions at all on ubtouch?], I'm currently following this group to know if there is a port on a"new" phone... And test tor. There's no reason for tor not to work.19:33
hallyndohbee - is there another example then, without account?19:33
hallynthanks both of you :)19:33
ubptgbot<MotoFufu9k> Actually not that I think about it, I should add it as service somehow, since it is a client that syncs files in the background19:33
hallyni'll post (on planet) both the solutions - the hacky script i have now and the actual 'newmail on server' version19:33
ubptgbot<dohbee> @MotoFufu9k [How would I add a shortcut to libertine? … I installed a console application and w …], not sure what you mean. there isn't a general way to launch console apps as a terminal app19:33
ubptgbot<MotoFufu9k> [Edit] Actually now that I think about it, I should add it as service somehow, since it is a client that syncs files in the background19:33
hallynmaybe ican hack it up as a patch on top of nemwail, in fact19:34
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Dimitri BOUWYN [I'm currently following this group to know if there is a port on a"new" phone... …], the reason is you haven't submitted PRs to integrate Tor support into the system19:34
ubptgbot<FeketeZoli> @dohbee [the ubuntu push API is the same, but there is no longer a need to have an ubuntu …], Hmm, I used the pushnotification app from AppStore as a sample. It still uses push.ubports.com as forwarder.19:34
ubptgbot<dohbee> @FeketeZoli [Hmm, I used the pushnotification app from AppStore as a sample. It still uses pu …], yes, but that has no relation to the ubuntu one account19:35
ubptgbot<dohbee> @hallyn [dohbee - is there another example then, without account?], ther eis nothing special. you simply don't need to (and well, can't, because there is no longer a way to) add a u1 account on the device19:35
hallynheh, or, sigh - i'm not developer enough to qualify to buy the pinephone :)  probably for the best.19:35
hallyndohbee - oh, cool.  ok thx.19:36
hallynyeah clearly that'l lbe better19:36
hallynbut this *is* working, so woot19:36
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> woohoo19:36
ubptgbot<FeketeZoli> @dohbee [yes, but that has no relation to the ubuntu one account], Ok, then it's just a misunderstanding on my side. Thanks.19:36
ubptgbot<dohbee> ah i see @FeketeZoli you have named the variable `UBUNTU_ONE_URL` though it has nothing to do with U1 :)19:36
ubptgbot<dohbee> perhaps change it to `PUSH_URL` or something19:37
ubptgbot<FeketeZoli> @dohbee [perhaps change it to PUSH_URL or something], Fine, thanks.19:37
ubptgbot<dohbee> since the pushclient example app response to error when registering token, it will do the right thing currently on both stable and rc/devel/edge19:38

ubptgbot<Dimitri BOUWYN> @dohbee [the reason is you haven't submitted PRs to integrate Tor support into the system], Ask for ... Dummy question,but what for? Log, compile, deploy, bundle, make an archive, diffuse this... without needing disrespectful, I'm not sure I need something to submit. Is it an Ubuntu ? If yes, I personnaly don't ask canonical if I c19:40
ubptgbotan build something on my arms ! Am I wrong ?19:40
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Dimitri BOUWYN [Ask for ... Dummy question,but what for? Log, compile, deploy, bundle, make an a …], no. UT is not a traditional PC linux distribution19:40
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Uhhh oh boi19:40
ubptgbot<dohbee> and canonical has nothing to do with building/releasing UT these days19:40
ubptgbot<Dimitri BOUWYN> I know, I just want to //19:41
ubptgbot<dohbee> well if you know you're wrong, don't comment with questions and ending with "Am I wrong?" because well, you will get told you are wrong :P19:42
ubptgbot<Dimitri BOUWYN> And in fact I'm using armbian 😁19:42
ubptgbot<dohbee> which also has nothing to do with UT19:43
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> What he means, dimitri, is they are not many devs, so anyone who want a new feature the devs can't take up now, are recommended to submit a PR :p19:43
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Like the keyboard in the image xD19:43
ubptgbot<dohbee> what i mean is that on a phone you need proper integrations for managing the network and showing status in the system; and tor is neither private nor a priority19:44
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> [Edit] What he means, dimitri, is there are not many devs, so anyone who wants a new feature the devs can't take up now, are recommended to submit a PR :p19:44
ubptgbot<dohbee> so yes, it's not there because none of you who keep asking for it, are putting in the work to get it integrated19:44
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> It needs work and work needs hands xD19:46
ubptgbot<Dimitri BOUWYN> Sorry, my English is not perfect. I what to show the "parallel", I mean I don't have to ask on 'PC', and I what to know if I'm wrong if I suppose UBport work/manage like 'on PC'19:46
ubptgbot<dohbee> there are much bigger problems to solve with making phones work reliably19:46
ubptgbot<dohbee> no, as i said, UT (UBports is the community, Ubuntu Touch is the OS), is not a traditional PC linux distro. meaning, no, it does not function like one either19:46
ubptgbot<dohbee> it is designed to be more secure, and targeted to phones/tablets19:47
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Aka many things people want will have to be integrated in a secure way19:47
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> By whoever has the time19:48
ubptgbot<Dimitri BOUWYN> @dohbee, ok, I'm here to understand 😊 so not really possible to ssh and compile custom code ?19:49
ubptgbot<FinlayDaG33k> It's quite nice :>  β€¦ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sPtRdZlEu419:49
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Dimitri BOUWYN [@dohbee, ok, I'm here to understand 😊 so not really possible to ssh and compile …], that doesn't help other people use things19:49
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> You can ssh in and compile code, but it will be broken on updates19:50
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Fuseteam [You can ssh in and compile code, but it will be broken on updates], not necessarily19:50
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> [Edit] You can ssh in and compile code heck there's even a terminal, but it will be broken on updates19:50
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> But probably :p19:51
ubptgbot<Dimitri BOUWYN> I don't want to do this only for me, I can diffuse of course, but it could be interesting to test. How do you do then ?19:51
ubptgbot<dohbee> you can build things in a chroot. you don't need to screw with rootfs to build things19:51
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> That's true too haha19:51
ubptgbot<dohbee> and cross-compiling on PC would be faster and not waste lots of writes to the flash19:51
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Dimitri BOUWYN [I don't want to do this only for me, I can diffuse of course, but it could be in …], I suppose you can check the repos where it would need to be integrated to?19:52
ubptgbot<Dimitri BOUWYN> Flash is, if I'm correct, for kernel and low level layer, not for applicativ one ?19:53
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Dimitri BOUWYN [I don't want to do this only for me, I can diffuse of course, but it could be in …], it depends. but network related things is one of the more complex things to work with.19:53
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @dohbee [and cross-compiling on PC would be faster and not waste lots of writes to the fl …], That makes sense yeah19:53
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Dimitri BOUWYN [Flash is, if I'm correct, for kernel and low level layer, not for applicativ one …], i mean, the NAND/eMMC flash storage only has a limited number of writes it can handle. every write performed reduces the remaining amount of writes that can be done19:54
ubptgbot<dohbee> and tasks like compiling can be harsh19:54
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> So cross compiling is reccomended :319:55
ubptgbot<Dimitri BOUWYN> I suppose network is the more complicated, and that's why i'm interested by a 'real hard' test. Curious about cnx api (iptables and route, ...) And traffic indeed by onions route19:55
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @dohbee [it depends. but network related things is one of the more complex things to work …], Which repo would be a good starting point tho?19:56
ubptgbot<dohbee> for implementing tor specifically? i don't know19:56
ubptgbot<dohbee> one needs to start at the lower layer and work up, i would guess19:56
ubptgbot<Dimitri BOUWYN> Arm branch on git ? But that's not the point : how application wil/can use it is the point. Polipo needed, ... All the env is to "build"19:57
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @dohbee [one needs to start at the lower layer and work up, i would guess], I suppose this lower layer is spread accross a few repos?19:58
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Fuseteam [I suppose this lower layer is spread accross a few repos?], i don't know. i have never used tor, nor tried to integrate it into any systems19:59
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Dimitri BOUWYN [Arm branch on git ? But that's not the point : how application wil/can use it is …], Well yes but first you'll probably will need to know how network stuff work on ut19:59
ubptgbot<Dimitri BOUWYN> Totally right πŸ˜…19:59
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> I'd say the source code is a good starting point :p20:00
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Appearantly for once rodney doesn't know a good starting point tho20:01
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> So that'll be the first hurdle20:01
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Figure out where to start20:02
ubptgbot<dohbee> it has to integrate with network-manager though, at the lower level20:02
ubptgbot<Dimitri BOUWYN> It is possible on a desktop to build a net layer that reroute all to transparent proxy using iptables. Not sure iptables "exists" on ut20:02
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @dohbee [it has to integrate with network-manager though, at the lower level], Sounds like that's our starting point :p20:03
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Dimitri BOUWYN [It is possible on a desktop to build a net layer that reroute all to transparent …], Pretty sure it does as a part of the  network-manager package20:03
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Which ut gets from upstream20:04
ubptgbot<Dimitri BOUWYN> Other solution is to "prepare"application to use your,by connecting to 9050. Like dojo.20:04
ubptgbot<dohbee> discussing implementation details in this group is mostly not useful though20:07
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> As it would get lost easily20:08
ubptgbot<dohbee> and it's a lot of noise20:08
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> *there's a lot of noise20:08
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> :^320:08
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> The forums is probably a better place for discussing implementation details20:09
