ubptgbot<YougoChats> @mateosalta [try with no domains set on the filter], I tried everything in webapp creator. In the end webber got an update and started working on my phone, and just did what i wanted.05:04
ubptgbot<YougoChats> Now i seem to have a problem with Dekko2. I am getting push notifications of new emails but dekko2 isnt fetching the mail since a day or two05:07
ubptgbot<Javacookies> tried refreshing by pulling or swipe left the inbox item?05:23
ubptgbot<YougoChats> Yup05:26
ubptgbot<YougoChats> Blue circle spins for a while but finds no new email05:26
ubptgbot<YougoChats> I have 5 accounts set up, all of them IMAP05:27

Maikbest to open a topic on the forum since no one seems to be around to help you06:23
jdmark3im taking care of it now06:25
ubptgbot<Javacookies> @YougoChats [I have 5 accounts set up, all of them IMAP], maybe try refreshing per inbox/account? … probably one of your account causes the issue06:27
ubptgbot<YougoChats> @Javacookies [maybe try refreshing per inbox/account? … probably one of your account causes the …], updating phone now, try that next06:29
ubptgbot<YougoChats> hmm upon reboot, and starting Dekko, i immediately saw some of the emails that i didnt have yet, but not all, so these were downloaded already but wouldn't show before, and after refreshing other mails, both older and newer landed as well.06:37
ubptgbot<YougoChats> it seems to have sorted itself out. keeping an eye on it though🕵🏻‍♂️06:38
ubptgbot<joeth> @jdmark_ [what would be the best tablet for ubports?], jmark_, I have a Nexus 7 which works quite well, and I hear there's a BQ tablet which is well supported. … If you're willing to wait, the PineTab looks promising but I don't think it'll be "ready" for at least another few months09:06
ubptgbot<bugsbenny> I habe a BQ M10. It works great. The only problem is that you have to unlock it. While unlocking it is easy to crack the MAC ROM. So be careful. … But even with a broken MAC ROM, mine works great11:39
ubptgbot<bugsbenny> [Edit] I have a BQ M10. It works great. The only problem is that you have to unlock it. While unlocking it is easy to crack the MAC ROM. So be careful. … But even with a broken MAC ROM, mine works great11:42
jdmark3Are there any software repositories I should add?12:15
ubptgbot<bugsbenny> What do you mean?12:19
jdmark3Typically the DRM repositories are added12:24
jdmark3microsoft fonts, dvd playback, etc12:25
jdmark3the grey area stuff12:25
ubptgbot<rogieroudshoorn> ubuntu touch isn't apt-based, so there's really no such thing. it's a lot like android - stuff comes in through the OTA, and apps come out of the store12:30
ubptgbot<mrcyjanek> If we talk about ota and apt, can somebody eli5 what is stopping UT from applying updates by doing apt upgrade instead of OTA?13:31
ubptgbot<mrcyjanek> [Edit] If we talk about ota and apt, can somebody eli5 what is stopping UT from applying updates by doing apt upgrade?13:31
ubptgbot<joeth> @mrcyjanek [If we talk about ota and apt, can somebody eli5 what is stopping UT from applyin …], it grabs a whole or partial system image for a system update, to keep everyone's system the same and prevent breakages13:32
ubptgbot<rogieroudshoorn> nothing stops a user from mounting his root partition as writeable and using apt - you'll likely run out of cache space very quickly, and your next OTA update will wip whatever you changed13:32
ubptgbot<rogieroudshoorn> you get what you want from OTA's13:32
ubptgbot<dohbee> well apt upgrades will break due to bind mounts and no space, for one13:33
ubptgbot<dohbee> image based updates have many advantages. we won't be supporting apt upgrade of the system image13:33
ubptgbot<mrcyjanek> @dohbee [image based updates have many advantages. we won't be supporting apt upgrade of …], I'm not against the current method of applying updates I'm just curious what have decided of that13:35
ubptgbot<mrcyjanek> @rogieroudshoorn [nothing stops a user from mounting his root partition as writeable and using apt …], Yeah, that makes sense, but something like resizing image when update is being applied and then shrinking it shiuld work, right?13:35
ubptgbot<dohbee> @mrcyjanek [I'm not against the current method of applying updates I'm just curious what hav …], basically  "how android phones work" is what decided it, because we had to build a system on top of android phone design13:36
ubptgbot<mrcyjanek> @dohbee [basically  "how android phones work" is what decided it, because we had to build …], Ok.Got it.13:36
ubptgbot<dohbee> @mrcyjanek [Yeah, that makes sense, but something like resizing image when update is being a …], which part of your data would you like the system to automatically delete so you can have apt upgrade? what happens if you install enough other packages that you've now filled the newly resized space? It's not stable, consistent, or supportable13:37
ubptgbot, to do things like that13:37
ubptgbot<rogieroudshoorn> moreso, it isn't how it's designed to work - it's designed for OTA delivery.13:44
ubptgbot<mrcyjanek> @dohbee [which part of your data would you like the system to automatically delete so you …], Well, on android `/system` have some space left on it and things like app updates can be applied. … I understand that design of UT differs from normal ubuntu, and that for example setting image size to 4GB on a new device doesnt mean anythig, w13:45
ubptgbothile on older devices with 16gb storage it matters. … I'm just curious if doing updates by apt damage some internal parts of the system.13:45
ubptgbot<mrcyjanek> @rogieroudshoorn [moreso, it isn't how it's designed to work - it's designed for OTA delivery.], Yeah,it doesnt answer my question. I get that we use ota,but if theres no android image update I'd like to know if doing apt upgade will worg as rootfs ota update13:46
ubptgbot<dohbee> @mrcyjanek [Well, on android /system have some space left on it and things like app updates …], it can break, yes13:47
ubptgbot<mrcyjanek> @dohbee [it can break, yes], Okay, thanks.13:47
ubptgbot<dohbee> dpkg does not deal well with package contents being spread across filesystems13:47
ubptgbot<rogieroudshoorn> @mrcyjanek [Yeah,it doesnt answer my question. I get that we use ota,but if theres no androi …], it's much easier to switch to devel channel, which'll get you daily builds if it's updates you're after13:48
ubptgbot<mrcyjanek> @rogieroudshoorn [it's much easier to switch to devel channel, which'll get you daily builds if it …], Not when device doesn't have a working recovery :/13:48
ubptgbot<rogieroudshoorn> can't you download the image from the buildserver then?13:49
ubptgbot<mrcyjanek> @dohbee [dpkg does not deal well with package contents being spread across filesystems], Okay.13:49
ubptgbot<rogieroudshoorn> and push it however you push it usually?13:49
ubptgbot<mrcyjanek> @rogieroudshoorn [can't you download the image from the buildserver then?], I didnt build recovery for my device yet13:49
ubptgbot<mrcyjanek> It needs work to be done by me to make it to buildserver and it needs time, and school have took all time I had so it will not happen anytine soon :/13:53

ubptgbot<Ankit Gupta> What kind of linux distro is supported by nexus 518:14
ubptgbot<dohbee> well we only support Ubuntu Touch18:14
ubptgbot<dohbee> if you want to run something else on your nexus 5, you should probably go find the appropriate forums or chat groups for whatever you want to run on it, to ask if it will work on nexus 5 :)18:15
ubptgbot<Ankit Gupta> But i saw i discussed about postmark os18:18

jdmarkif the usb-c hub worked in ubports id connect my keyboard at this point19:13
jdmarkit's taking 2-3 hours to switch openssh to key based authentication to password based authentication19:13
ubptgbot<dohbee> @jdmark [if the usb-c hub worked in ubports id connect my keyboard at this point], you never replied in the utonpine telegram group when i asked which version of the pinephone hardware it is19:19
ubptgbot<dohbee> so which one is it? and why not just put a key on, which is more secure?19:20
jdmarkusb-c hub doesnt work in ubports19:31
jdmarkwhich gui text editor should i use? im having trouble copying and pasting ffs19:32
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Correct, regardless of hardware fixes or not the USB-C drivers still aren't in our kernel19:32
ubptgbot<dohbee> @UniversalSuperBox [Correct, regardless of hardware fixes or not the USB-C drivers still aren't in o …], the OTG? or Displayport not working either?19:33
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Both19:33
ubptgbot<dohbee> oh :-/19:33
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> We don't tell the ANX USB-C controller what to do, so it does nothing.19:33
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> If you're just trying to copy and paste a file from the web, jdmark, could you just `wget` then copy the file?19:36

ubptgbot<dohbee> and they do not replace the system browser20:34
jdmarkhow do i end selection mode in UBPorts Terminal?20:38
jdmarkcopy and paste is broken20:52
ubptgbot<gischpelino> @jdmark [how do i end selection mode in UBPorts Terminal?], x in the upper right corner21:36
jdmarki found it21:37
jdmarkany advice for the usb-c dongle?21:37
ubptgbot<dohbee> it apparently requires at least some changes to the kernel21:38
ubptgbot<dohbee> so i don't think you'll get OTG working with a few simple commands in terminal21:38
ubptgbot<joeth> jdmark, boot postmarketos from an SD if you just want to try out the dock, or wait for ubports to get it working21:39
jdmarkwaiting on ubports to get it to work22:08
