hallynwell I stopped using the nexus 4 i was testing on.  So I need to get this pinephone running before I can get back to it :(00:59
hallynSo, blocked right now00:59
hallynI'm gonna fetch a new ubtouch-pine.img (the one installed is from february) and see if it helps,but probably not tillt he weekend,00:59
hallyngot some other stuff i need to take care of first :(01:00
FuseteamOof no rush was just curious. there are things that need priority especially in a time like this. Good luck and keep safe01:57
lejocelynhi, I would like to know, is it possible to run apps that are on FreeDroid on UBports ?09:33
lejocelynit's not so easy to find clear info about it on internet :/09:34
lejocelynmaybe http://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/anbox.html ?09:36
lejocelynI'm really excited by the PinePhone, do you know if there are projects on porting Anbox to the PinePhone ?09:38
FuseteamYes anbox is being ported, its in very early stages12:41
=== alan_g is now known as alan_g_
lejocelynFuseteam: yes, thanks for the answer14:04
sebsebsebhi anyone around ?16:30
sebsebsebGot a bit of an issue I think I know why probably, or possibly, but I wonder what the work around is,  and no re installling  via a factory re set isn't really the work around :D16:31
sebsebsebor something like that16:31
poVoqSo what is the issue?16:41
sebsebsebok so I  have upgraded my MX 4   to the latest OTA however that's from a quite old now,  OTA16:42
sebsebsebI even got a load of apps from the old  Ubuntu App Store16:42
sebsebseband it seems the OS has updated yes, but none of the apps16:42
sebsebsebOpen Store will mention that certain apps are not from it, but  will not let me upgrade anything, just this bar,  looked on Google seems some other people had a similar issue before16:43
sebsebsebso even the core apps haven't been updated, the default apps, the browser and what not16:43
sebsebsebcan I just upgrade each app myself or something? but I can't just do it graphically via open store since the bar,  there's no install buttons etc16:44
sebsebsebdon't want to just start over actsually,  got some of the old click apps, and want to keep them on, if possible,  yes no longer supported etc, but so be it16:44
=== alan_g_ is now known as alan_g
poVoqIf you are still on the old Ubuntu provided system then I think you have no choice but to wipe and reflash with the new ubports system. Sorry.17:13
sebsebsebpoVoq: no its ubports17:14
sebsebsebpoVoq: remember ubports originally came with both app stores17:14
sebsebseband remember it used to be click packages untill the change to snappy17:15
poVoqHmm, then I don't know sorry. Maybe see if the soon coming OTA12 upgrade process fixes it?17:15
poVoqOr switch to RC or dev channel?17:16
sebsebsebprobono: when is ota12  due17:17
sebsebsebprobono: i  went from a old 2018 ota to the current stable17:17
poVoqIt is still click17:23
poVoqIn a few days17:23
poVoqSwitch to RC in the update settings and see if that changes anything17:23
sebsebseb 20:23
FuseteamUbuntu touch is still on clicks btw22:36
FuseteamThere is a button in update settings called 'update all apps' iirc22:37
sebsebsebFuseteam: not that I could see earlier22:38
sebsebsebFuseteam: well I was hoping I could have deprecatd apps that still work from when ubports used the ubuntu touch store,   that aren't in the open store ,  plus new stuff that is in the open store22:39
sebsebsebbut currently I can't install anything22:39
sebsebsebI just get this bar22:39
FuseteamWhich apps are deprecated surely the can be revived22:40
FuseteamI meant the update settings in the settings app fwiw22:41
FuseteamSo settings>updates>update settings22:44
sebsebsebFuseteam: a lot of my apps are it seems :D I put on lots of stuff in 201822:44
sebsebsebFuseteam: before the ubuntu  store went bye bye from ubports22:45
sebsebsebin fact i upgraded a old ota update from 2018 to  the latest earlier, but yep it seems none of the apps got updated as well22:45
sebsebsebthe open store does tel me if an app isn't in the open store though, or if it is and there's a newer version in the open store, but can't install as I put22:45
sebsebsebFuseteam: so is that in the open store the settings thing ?  or  ubports settings ?22:46
sebsebsebI could look for it22:46
sebsebsebin the open store for an app I get a bar moving at the top no buton to install or anything like that22:47
sebsebsebFuseteam: if an app is deprecated I don't want it to be auto removed as well22:47
FuseteamIn the os settings22:48
FuseteamFar point about autoremoval tho22:48
sebsebsebFuseteam: it would auto remove? or would it ?22:48
FuseteamAre you on telegram?22:48
sebsebsebno22:48
sebsebsebFuseteam: some of the old apps are good :D  not sure why they aren't in open store22:49
sebsebsebno to telegram22:49
sebsebsebFuseteam: can I manually update selected apps myself ?22:49
FuseteamThey are not in openstore becausw nobody put them there yet :D22:50
sebsebsebFuseteam: some won't ever come I think22:51
FuseteamNot sure what you mean with manual tho22:51
sebsebsebupdate myself22:51
sebsebsebyes I want the latest version of this and that app, but not this and that other app22:51
FuseteamWhy not? Closed sourced?22:51
sebsebsebFuseteam: no just some are sucky web apps really, and others are apps that, probably just won't be ported over22:51
FuseteamThat's what you do in openstore22:52
FuseteamI still don't see why not 👀22:52
sebsebsebFuseteam: is it? how do I use open store then ?22:52
FuseteamI have no idea why openstore is not detecting your apps atm22:53
sebsebsebFuseteam: it's detecing my apps, but it won't let me  upgrade apps22:54
FuseteamWhat does it say?22:55
sebsebsebFuseteam: nothing it's just a bar at the top moving22:56
sebsebsebi saw someoen else had a similar issue when I googleed earlier22:56
sebsebsebFuseteam: it knows about my apps being from the old ubuntu touch store, it says some have no version in the open store,  a lot, and then for some it will say there's a newer version in the open store22:57
FuseteamThen update the ones that say they have newer version?23:06
FuseteamIf openstore says it has no version, it likely has no version23:06
sebsebsebFuseteam: so if it has no version of an app and I try the update all23:07
sebsebsebFuseteam: it should leave the others alone ?23:07
sebsebsebif I can find that thing of course23:07
FuseteamI think it should yes23:10
FuseteamCan't verify myself tho23:11
sebsebsebFuseteam: re install all apps23:15
sebsebsebFuseteam: found that23:16
FuseteamAh there you go23:16
FuseteamI haven't been able to verify with the others how it works fwiw23:17
sebsebsebFuseteam: Use this to get all of the latst apps, typically needed after a major system update23:18
FuseteamSounds promising enough23:18
sebsebsebFuseteam: i tried to ht stop and it crashed, but yeah that could be it23:19
sebsebsebif it re installs the main apps it should upgrade them23:19
sebsebsebthe other ones might be at risk but depends23:19
FuseteamIt should yes23:20
FuseteamIt is intended for this type of scenario afaik23:20
sebsebsebFuseteam: yeah I think that could be it23:21
sebsebsebi stopped it but23:21
sebsebsebnow see23:21
sebsebsebsome of these apps as updates in the thing23:21
sebsebsebFuseteam: I have like 300 apps23:22
FuseteamCool23:22
sebsebsebFuseteam: altough a lot are web apps or whatever23:22
sebsebsebI got old scopes too some23:22
sebsebsebwhich is another thing23:22
sebsebsebI belive scopes got completly dropped23:22
sebsebsebso that's uselss now any scropes23:22
sebsebsebFuseteam: thanks woudn't have just found that option myself23:22
sebsebsebFuseteam: going to have to charge up that phone more  too23:23
FuseteamYes atm scopes are dropped to start clean23:23
FuseteamSure no problem23:23
sebsebsebFuseteam: to start clean ?23:24
sebsebsebyou mean just try and get rid of any scropes I put on myself ?23:24
sebsebsebsince they won't work23:24
sebsebsebFuseteam: I have another issue as well actsaully23:25
sebsebsebI used to be able to just connect the phone into lap top and be able to remove  photos and videos from it onto computer, but it's not been working23:25
FuseteamOh no i mean scopes were removed because the previous implementation was hard to maintain23:26
sebsebsebwhy was it hard to main tain ?23:26
FuseteamScopes doing more than intended by the backend etc etc23:27
sebsebseboh such as ?23:27
FuseteamSuch as doing things an app should be doing23:28
sebsebsebshoudn't be doing such as ?23:28
FuseteamI don't know the details but i suspect scopes weren't suppose to play music for example23:29
sebsebseboh right23:29
FuseteamThat is if i got it right and scopes were only meant to surface content23:31
FuseteamThe usb issue is weird tho23:31
sebsebsebFuseteam: yeah  I think they were meant to show news and such23:31
FuseteamYeah and files and messages i suppose23:32
sebsebsebFuseteam: I might just end up emailing myself or uhmm firefox send maybe stuff to myself if uhmm23:32
FuseteamI mean ssh is an option iirc23:32
sebsebseboh yeah ther's that too23:32
sebsebsebI saw in ut tweaks well saw as inu read I don't have ut tweaks yet23:33
FuseteamOhw hmm what about terminal?23:33
sebsebsebFuseteam: I was thinking I can do this later or try too or something :D23:34
sebsebsebFuseteam: right now the phone is so nearly un charged as well23:34
sebsebsebalso that cable wehre is it uhmm here some where23:35
FuseteamSounds like a plan xD23:35
sebsebsebFuseteam: this ight be the thing that popued up on forum earlier or something similar23:35
sebsebsebsomeoen was like will it remove my photos etc23:35
sebsebseband they are like no23:35
sebsebsebFuseteam: I assume photos and that will stay, since that's some wehre seperate anyway isn't it ?23:35
FuseteamAh cool but yes everything on in your home directory is safe23:36
sebsebsebFuseteam: a bit like how the apps are seperate too, hence not upgrading when I did an ota update23:36
FuseteamYeah most apps are in /opt iirc23:37
sebsebsebFuseteam: yep that's waht I liked about ubuntu touch too, how it's rather similar to desktop linux like that23:37
FuseteamIt is yes but its different in other ways ;)23:37
sebsebsebFuseteam: then hopefully the  open store or whatever works better to after  re install apps, and  then I can put other ones on no problem such as ut tweaks ?23:38
sebsebsebyep wayland and unity 8 and things23:38
sebsebseband arm23:38
FuseteamYes hopefully23:39
sebsebsebFuseteam: so are you a dev ?23:39
sebsebsebor just user ?23:39
sebsebsebI got a pine phone early adopters edition to do things with too still, real things, but that's another project23:39
FuseteamYep but also readonly rootfs, but no i'm just a superuser zD23:39
sebsebsebalso randomly rootfs ?23:40
Fuseteamreadonly rootfs is something you don't see often on desktop linux23:40
sebsebsebwhat do you mean by that ?23:41
FuseteamAre you familiar with the term 'rootfs'?23:41
sebsebsebFuseteam: not so much hard of I think though a few times23:42
sebsebsebthe file system ?23:42
sebsebseb .  /  ?23:42
FuseteamYes the rootfile system23:42
Fuseteam*root file23:42
sebsebsebFuseteam:  what you mean you see it more on  ububuntu touch ?23:42
sebsebseb /23:42
sebsebseb  / this that and the other23:43
sebsebsebFuseteam: desktop linux tends to default to /home it seems :D23:43
sebsebseb   /home/user23:43
FuseteamEssentially every things except for home us not writable be default23:43
sebsebsebFuseteam:  in desktop linux or ubuntu touch ?23:44
FuseteamOn UT23:44
sebsebsebFuseteam: yeah that's what I thought apps are kind of seprate some wehre23:44
sebsebsebthe texts in a database or whatever23:44
sebsebsebthe os in folders23:44
sebsebsebFuseteam: libertiner in containers etc if that works23:44
FuseteamSo anything that requires modifications to the root file system ut will cause some issues23:45
sebsebsebFuseteam: that's how it should be probably really, only /home can be written too23:45
sebsebsebyeah well developer mode and th8ings23:45
FuseteamMost apps are confined to /opt iiuc23:45
sebsebsebFuseteam: yep sort this phone out a bit and then uhmm hmm23:46
FuseteamSo they don't edit /bin or /etc or something23:46
sebsebsebFuseteam: no girl friend now, plus got a lock dwon lol23:46
sebsebsebFuseteam: I had a load of free time anyway that I was wasting but uhmm things are a b it diffenret now23:46
Fuseteam👀23:46
sebsebsebFuseteam: got another phone I want to sort out, but that one is get texts and such off of it23:47
sebsebsebas well23:47
sebsebsebFuseteam: and finally finally finally, try and get it on Sailfish  OS that's why it was bought in the first place, not to run Android which have been doing for over two years now on it23:47
sebsebsebFuseteam: and I got a pine phone as I mentieond above, an a few sd cards, so got ubports to try on that,and sailifsh os, and a few other ones, and I got a pine book pro that can do more with as well,  the default debian streetch is a bit boring23:48
FuseteamOof23:55
sebsebsebFuseteam: why oof ?23:55
FuseteamI somehow missed your messages :p23:56
FuseteamBut yes libertine is meant things that are build for linux desktop, buts also still experimental so not everything works out if the box23:58
