ubptgbot<dokie80> @Verevka86 [Anbox work :)], any negative impact installing anbox?00:40
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> @Shakendo [@UniversalSuperBox SPAM], got it02:19
ubptgbottantyyyy was added by: tantyyyy04:38
ubptgbot<X YZ> @Shakendo [no worries, it should be showing up in the installer soon], That's good news and would make installation even easier, i guess. Looking forward to trying it out and giving new life to my Note 4.  β€¦ Thanks for your time and efforts in this.  β€¦ πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ“±πŸ˜€πŸ‘06:59

ubptgbot<coding_hedgehog> Guys, how do I switch off the blue light the screen is giving off in late hours ? Can it be done in UT ?08:43
ubptgbot<Stereofont> @coding_hedgehog [Guys, how do I switch off the blue light the screen is giving off in late hours …], There was a discussion at the Q&A before last. Nothing yet but Dalton and Marius discussed mechanisms08:51
ubptgbot<coding_hedgehog> @Stereofont [There was a discussion at the Q&A before last. Nothing yet but Dalton and Marius …], Thanks for replying. I haven't tried installing Redshift. My gut feeling is telling me that it wouldn't work. I might be wrong though.08:52
ubptgbot<alan_griffiths> I don't think anything has chanced since this discussion: … https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2848/what-s-the-situation-with-blue-light-filtering-on-ubuntu-touch08:53
ubptgbot<coding_hedgehog> I just tried to install redshift within libertine container. Looks like my gut feeling was right. Seems like the program won't interface with the GPU of the phone to set different tone of light being emitted.09:27
ubptgbot<coding_hedgehog> [Edit] I just tried to install redshift within libertine container. Looks like my gut feeling was right. Seems like the program won't interface with the GPU of the phone to set different tone of light being emitted. But I'm no expert.09:27
adisbladisOf course it won't09:43
adisbladisI'm no expert in how XMir works09:43
adisbladisBut redshift works via the X RANDR extension09:43
ubptgbot<Stereofont> @coding_hedgehog [I just tried to install redshift within libertine container. Looks like my gut f …], From memory, it is built into Gnome but we will have to use a Qt implementation12:22
ubptgbot<Stereofont> What about redshift and videochat?Β  … Is anything happening with those now that have a new qtwebengine? Redshift implementation would happen in the mir layer, so is not really impacted by the qtwebengine change. The way that cameras work on Android also mean that there is nothing in this upgrade which will automatically give us videoch12:25
ubptgbotat capability.Β  … Marius played around with red filters in Lomiri and the effect was not at all good. Creating colour shifts in Mir worked a bit better but not much. That is the right way to go though. A new composer (Android hwcomposer service) implements a way to do it so maybe a solution is half built for us. That would be limited to newer versi12:25
ubptgbotons of Android though. Swapping colour values live using cpu is very heavy on resources so we would have to avoid that sort of β€˜mechanical’ solution.Β 12:25
ubptgbot<Stereofont> πŸ‘†12:25
ubptgbot<Stereofont> Oh well. No mention of Qt…12:26
ubptgbot<coding_hedgehog> Did you guys know that if calendar reminder goes off while you're shooting a video the video file will end up being corrupted ?12:29
ubptgbot<coding_hedgehog> I just shot a 10 min video when my reminder went off and when I finished the file can't be played anymore.12:30
adisbladisStereofont: Even if you could use some hwcomposer magic you'd have to implement another solution for the wayland backend12:30
ubptgbot<coding_hedgehog> [Edit] I just shot a 10 min video when my reminder went off and when I finished the video can't be played anymore.12:30
adisbladisI'd be curious to see what plasma mobile has done as their compositor (kwin) has both native wayland & hwcomposer backends12:32

ubptgbot<amyosx> @adisbladis [I'd be curious to see what plasma mobile has done as their compositor (kwin) has …], Could lomiri work with kwin?12:44
ubptgbot<coding_hedgehog> @Stereofont [You win the prize for Weirdest Bug 2020], I just thought the community should know.12:44

ubot5bug 3007 in Launchpad itself "duplicate for #2020 "Currently Published Elsewhere" pointer to the other string" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/300712:45
ubptgbot<Stereofont> @coding_hedgehog [I just thought the community should know.], It will happen almost never but maybe it points to something deeper and more problematic?12:45
ubptgbot<coding_hedgehog> @Stereofont [It will happen almost never but maybe it points to something deeper and more pro …], "almost never" people shoot videos and have their reminder to go off.12:46
ubptgbot<coding_hedgehog> ^ sorry I was being unintentionally sarcastic.12:47
ubptgbot<Stereofont> Hmm. Don't mention the year or the bot gets activated 😜12:47
ubptgbot<dohbee> @adisbladis [Stereofont: Even if you could use some hwcomposer magic you'd have to implement …], no, we just need to get mir with wayland compositor working on top of hwcomposer13:03
adisbladisThat's a possibility too :)13:03
ubptgbot<dohbee> @amyosx [Could lomiri work with kwin?], no13:03
ubptgbot<dokie80> can i ask about other os here? for opinion?13:13
ubptgbot<dokie80> or is it against the rule?13:13
ubptgbot<dohbee> this group is about Ubuntu Touch. there's https://t.me/UBportsOF for off-topic-ish discussions13:14

ubptgbot<mateosalta> therotically you could extrqact the qml and just run it on anything, wouldnt be very good though...15:51
ubptgbot<mateosalta> smashing code with hammer type of thing15:51
ubptgbot<mateosalta> but would be missing almost everything else that works together15:52
ubptgbot<mateosalta> might have a okish launcher pannel if you did get it going15:52
ubptgbot<dohbee> @mateosalta [therotically you could extrqact the qml and just run it on anything, wouldnt be …], yeah, you'll just get a white window with an error message16:10

ubptgbot<Dreadsen> Hello all.  Is it possible to get Ubuntu touch to work on a Sonim XP8?21:34
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> please check devices.ubuntu-touch.io for currently supported devices21:36
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> unsupported devices will need to be ported by the owner of such a device21:37
adisbladisFuseteam: It's using qemu-user I take it?21:37
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> yes its using qemu afaict21:38
adisbladisIME that has pretty bad performance abysmal :/21:38
adisbladisI use it sometimes to do aarch64 compilation natively from my x86_64 laptop21:38
adisbladisBut it's a lot faster to simply do cross compilation21:38
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> to be expected really, there's just no way to just run x86 code on arm or vice versa21:39
adisbladisYeah, the bad performance doesn't make it any less amazing21:39
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> yupp21:39
ubptgbot<dohbee> @adisbladis [Fuseteam: It's using qemu-user I take it?], what are you asking about?21:40
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> and hey the project's active so that's nice21:40
ubptgbot<dohbee> oh the wine thing?21:40
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @dohbee [what are you asking about?], hangover21:40
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @mateosalta [this might be interesting for those playing with libertine: https://github.com/A …], My main interest in this would be trying to run Kindle for PC 1.17 on UT devices. Not sure if that could be done with this though.21:40
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> the compatibility layer21:40
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> [Edit] the "compatibility" layer21:41
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @TotalSonic [My main interest in this would be trying to run Kindle for PC 1.17 on UT devices …], probably can, the performance is a different story21:41
ubptgbot<dohbee> qemu + xmir == unusable, i bet21:41
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> probably 🀣21:42
ubptgbot<dohbee> also how many of the supported devices actually even have virtualization support?21:42
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> that's......probably the first question lol21:42
adisbladisEmulating a different arch entirely is software virtualization21:42
adisbladisIt can't use hw virtualization extensions21:43
adisbladisqemu-user does do native syscalls though21:43
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> granted it takes 5 GB of storage to build........wait i didn't see any installation instructions hmmm21:43

ubptgbot<Dreadsen> @Fuseteam [please check devices.ubuntu-touch.io for currently supported devices], Yes. I was wondering if someone ported it to a Sonim xp8.  It's not on the list of supported devices21:52
ubptgbot<PiecerEdd> @TotalSonic [My main interest in this would be trying to run Kindle for PC 1.17 on UT devices …], is there anything kindle for PC can do that you cant get from calibre? or even like, running the kindle android app in anbox if your device(s) support it?21:55
ubptgbot<dohbee> @PiecerEdd [is there anything kindle for PC can do that you cant get from calibre? or even l …], render DRM books from kindle21:56
ubptgbot<PiecerEdd> fair21:56
ubptgbot<PiecerEdd> i tend to use calibre to crack my DRM kindle books then just convert them to epub πŸ˜†21:57
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Dreadsen [Yes. I was wondering if someone ported it to a Sonim xp8.  It's not on the list …], if its not on that list its not ported yet22:00
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> as i said in my follow up comment :p22:01
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @PiecerEdd [is there anything kindle for PC can do that you cant get from calibre? or even l …], Calibre won't open the latest DRM protected Kindle books, even with plugins. And I don't want to run anbox as I use my UT phone as my daily driver and don't want quicker battery drain.22:01
ubptgbot<Dreadsen> @Fuseteam [if its not on that list its not ported yet], How are people porting Ubuntu touch on devices which are not on the list?   … I saw a YouTube video of someone who: ported it to a Unihertz Titan.22:01
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Dreadsen [How are people porting Ubuntu touch on devices which are not on the list?   … I s …], the docs are at docs.halium.org, the support group at @halium … the more specific your question when porting the more easily they can help you22:03
ubptgbot<Dreadsen> @Fuseteam [the docs are at docs.halium.org, the support group at @halium … the more specific …], Thankyou. Is this halium group on telegram?22:04
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> click on that tag xD22:05
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> that should answer your question :p22:06
ubptgbot<Dreadsen> @Fuseteam [click on that tag xD], Lol thanks. I never knew that worked this way in telegram22:13
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> lol no problem xD22:15
