ubptgbot<elsandosgrande> I bet 110% that that is a scam.00:28
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> @elsandosgrande [I bet 110% that that is a scam.], Apologies, it's been deleted00:31
ubptgbot<elsandosgrande> Aaaand the scam is gone.00:31
ubptgbot<elsandosgrande> @UniversalSuperBox [Apologies, it's been deleted], No worries. If there was any doubt, comparing the HTTPS certificates is definitive proof. Oh, and the scam website uses the old Medium logo, which is another red flag.00:32
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Spam is very common on Telegram, and there aren't many formats it follows. Just let us know and move on00:33
ubptgbot<elsandosgrande> I've been on it long enough to have three whole scams target me privately (direct messages). Surprisingly, there is actually more scam here than on Discord.00:37
ubptgbot<ilikeyacutgAAAAA> seen no scam00:38
ubptgbot<ilikeyacutgAAAAA> only in big open source project channels00:39
ubptgbot<ilikeyacutgAAAAA> thats it00:39
ubptgbot<calvinistmac> Just report the spam to the admins, then ignore it and move on. Telegram is full of this junk.00:43
ubptgbot<PiecerEdd> hey everyone, ive been testing an unofficial halium-based port of ubports for the cosmo communicator... i hit upon a strange thing, im not sure if its specific to this build or if its something i could fix myself with some  creative pactl commands or something... at first we thought sound wasn't working at all, however if i connect a bl00:49

ubptgbot<Boris Mihailov> Is there a way to create a "container" with web apps? For example a google container in which several apps would share my credentials there instead of logging in separately?01:24
ubptgbot<mateosalta> sure just make a webpage that has links to all those, then put that in a webapp02:31
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Boris Mihailov [Is there a way to create a "container" with web apps? For example a google conta …], you could make a webapp with links to the various sites you want contained like that, you'll also have to white list url you want to visit in that webapp04:50

ubptgbot<OVSCADMIN> Does Ubuntu Touch have a a native bridge for running AMD snaps on itself?16:17
ubptgbot<dohbee> no16:17
ubptgbot<dohbee> not that i know what you're actually asking, but no, snaps are not supported16:18
ubptgbot<OVSCADMIN> @dohbee [no], I only ask because I saw this on Snapcrafts Store... … https://snapcraft.io/g-assist … I was hoping I could install it on Ubuntu Touch but its only available as AMD/x86-64 architecture.16:19
ubptgbot<OVSCADMIN> (Photo, 576x1280) https://irc.ubports.com/L9cB0wTw.png16:19
ubptgbot<OVSCADMIN> (Photo, 576x1280) https://irc.ubports.com/ZTUvAQ50.png16:19
ubptgbot<dohbee> yeah, so it won't run on ARM devices anyway16:19
ubptgbot<dohbee> you don't need to post screenshots16:19
ubptgbot<dohbee> and it's going to be a long time before snaps are supported at all16:19
ubptgbot<OVSCADMIN> @dohbee [and it's going to be a long time before snaps are supported at all], Why's that?16:20
ubptgbot<dohbee> because it is a lot of work for very marginal benefit16:20
ubptgbot<OVSCADMIN> @dohbee [and it's going to be a long time before snaps are supported at all], Does that mean Anbox for Ubuntu Touch is built from .deb or from source code and not its official Snap?16:20
ubptgbot<dohbee> things packaged as snaps are generally not designed for phones/tablets anyway16:20
ubptgbot<dohbee> @OVSCADMIN [Does that mean Anbox for Ubuntu Touch is built from .deb or from source code and …], yes, it is built from a fork16:20
ubptgbot<OVSCADMIN> @dohbee [yes, it is built from a fork], How many forks does Anbox have currently? Does each fork upstream their changes to the main repo/build?16:21
ubptgbot<dohbee> i don't know, that is not something we track nor care to track16:21
ubptgbot<OVSCADMIN> Couldn't the native arm bridge for Anbox be ported to Snapcraft and be used to run AMD/x86-64 Snaps on ARM Linux Distros?16:23
ubptgbot<dohbee> no16:24
ubptgbot<dohbee> i don't know what you are talking about16:24
ubptgbot<dohbee> anbox isn't an amd64 app running on arm16:24
ubptgbot<Flohack> @OVSCADMIN [How many forks does Anbox have currently? Does each fork upstream their changes …], I dont think any upstreaming is happening. The project is not well maintained atm16:37
ubptgbot<OVSCADMIN> @Flohack [I dont think any upstreaming is happening. The project is not well maintained at …], Yes I'm aware of this. Anbox on Snapcraft and on its own official site is still being built with Android 7.1.2 we are almost at 11....16:53
ubptgbot<dohbee> the android image version has little to do with the maintenance and development of anbox itself17:00
ubptgbot<OVSCADMIN> @dohbee [the android image version has little to do with the maintenance and development …], So the newer the Android image to more or the lest work is needed for maintenance and development?17:04
ubptgbot<dohbee> migrating to newer android is a huge pain because google breaks compatibility with every new android release17:05
ubptgbot<dohbee> there are plenty of other things in anbox itself that need worked on to make things better, without even touching the android image17:05
ubptgbot<OVSCADMIN> @dohbee [migrating to newer android is a huge pain because google breaks compatibility wi …], I thought anbox uses the AOSP unless they get their android images directly from Google?17:10
ubptgbot<dohbee> @OVSCADMIN [I thought anbox uses the AOSP unless they get their android images directly from …], yes, but it doesn't matter17:11
ubptgbot<dohbee> the anbox image is built for anbox based on AOSP17:11
ubptgbot<dohbee> but anbox itself has its own issues outside of what image is being used17:11
ubptgbot<rajaguha> Hi, just installed latest(87) Ubuntu Touch on a Pine Phone.  Is the dock usable? Thanks.17:23
ubptgbot<PhoenixLandPirate> No, the kernel needs to be updated before it works17:24
ubptgbot<PhoenixLandPirate> Also for anything Ubuntu on Pine-specific there's a dedicated chat for it! … https://t.me/utonpine17:25
ubptgbot<rajaguha> OK thx17:26
ubptgbot<rajaguha> Are there instructions for updating kernel? Do I need to build it myself?17:31
ubptgbot<dohbee> no, it's being worked on. it's not as simple as just taking a newer kernel version and building it unfortunately17:32
ubptgbot<rajaguha> Ok, just have to wait. Thx.17:33
ubptgbot<PhoenixLandPirate> The last update I've read is that it seems like its mostly there, but there are still some issues with sound, modem and wake up callws17:33

ubptgbot<Flohack> @TartanSpartan [No assumption, but it would be nice as an especially convergent device.], Yes, but since its entirely developed by fxtec so far, we could imagine they want to have the honor of doing so ;)20:56
ubptgbot<Flohack> Also, remember what they said, its an Indiegogo campaign, its totally unclear if it will ever be sold regularly20:56
ubptgbot<dohbee> isn't using the same image as the pro1?20:57

ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> Well that's a shame, but let's see if "currently" changes. I can't afford it right now,and my new(er) Meizu Pro 5 is still quite functional, but it seems their USB C ports are a bit vulnerable. I need to wedge this one to have it charge, too. But it hasn't taken any kind of liquid damage so hopefully it should last a lot longer than21:16
ubptgbot my last one.21:16
ubptgbot<PhoenixLandPirate> @libremax [FAQ : " Will the Pro1-X be available after the campaign? … We are currently intend …], Well thats concerning.21:47
ubptgbot<PhoenixLandPirate> @Flohack [Why you think we would treat it special?], I think the worry would be compatibility, wouldn't some older androids be stuck on 16.04 due to outdated kernels for example?21:50
ubptgbot<dohbee> @PhoenixLandPirate [I think the worry would be compatibility, wouldn't some older androids be stuck …], the only way anything will be "stuck" on 16.04, is if we have to drop support. we won't keep updating those devices at that point21:55
ubptgbot<elsandosgrande> Speaking of which, does Ubuntu Touch use the same kernel versions as Android, or are newer versions available?22:22
ubptgbot<dohbee> devices based on android must use the same kernel version that the device shipped with, because of the proprietary drivers22:23
ubptgbot<elsandosgrande> 🤔 Could the drivers be transferred to a newer version of the kernel? I doubt that all proprietary drivers are pinned to the exact kernel version as opposed to the approximate kernel version (multiple point releases as opposed to a specific one).22:27
ubptgbot<dohbee> no22:27
ubptgbot<dohbee> they are built against a specific kernel ABI22:27
ubptgbot<elsandosgrande> Don't point releases retain that ABI?22:27
ubptgbot<elsandosgrande> [Edit] Don't point releases generally retain the ABI?22:28
ubptgbot<dohbee> 3.10 is still 3.1022:28
ubptgbot<dohbee> i don't know what you'd expect to gain from "point releases" of 3.10; but sure patches from point releases can theoretically be included22:29
ubptgbot<dohbee> but you can't move from 3.4 or 3.10 or 4.4 to 5.922:29
ubptgbot<elsandosgrande> 3.11 isn't a point release of 3?22:29
ubptgbot<dohbee> no you can't upgrade to 3.1122:29
ubptgbot<dohbee> no the ABI is not retained from 3.4 to 3.10 or 3.10 to 3.1122:30
ubptgbot<elsandosgrande> All right.22:30
ubptgbot<elsandosgrande> _I wonder if anybody has ever tried to reverse-engineer proprietary phone drivers_22:31
ubptgbot<elsandosgrande> [Edit] I wonder if anybody has ever tried to reverse-engineer proprietary phone drivers22:31
ubptgbot<elsandosgrande> Probably not22:32
ubptgbot<dohbee> yes they have. no we aren't doing that. our goal isn't to convert android based devices to run on mainstream kernel22:32
ubptgbot<X YZ> @dohbee [devices based on android must use the same kernel version that the device shippe …], For my understanding (and sorry for being a little slow to understand, maybe): the newest kernel possible for a phone is determined by the last / final firmware update available, i.e.the kernel available then? Meaning that some older phones could no22:58

ubptgbot<X YZ> @dohbee [yes they have. no we aren't doing that. our goal isn't to convert android based …], That would be Pinephone and Librem?23:00
ubptgbot<PhoenixLandPirate> No they are linux phones by default, he's on about other phones that are getting mainline linux through a community effeort23:02
ubptgbot<X YZ> @PhoenixLandPirate [No they are linux phones by default, he's on about other phones that are getting …], Which ones would that be? Sounds interesting ... and like lots of hard work.23:05
ubptgbot<PhoenixLandPirate> The honest answer with something like this, is "It depends" if a phone has a to old kernel that it has to be dropped because it cant be supported, but a community memeber was able to compile a newer kernel for that device, then I'm sure that'd be more than welcome in the Ubports updater. … As Rodney says, ubports aren't making t23:06
ubptgbothe effort to make new kernels work on old devices, that's way to much work, it's much easier to drop devices and move onto new ones, or backport features to older kernels, then to make a kernel for older phones.23:06

ubptgbot<PhoenixLandPirate> @X YZ [Ah, right, pmOS ... had connected that to Pine only and forgotten about the rest …], Considering pmOS was made for devices that are *ahem* Post Market, it is weird that its on a device that you have to pre-order to get!23:12
ubptgbot<dohbee> @X YZ [For my understanding (and sorry for being a little slow to understand, maybe): t …], theoretically yes, but manufacturers don't tend to do the work to update to newer kernels, and often can't get rebuilt drivers from SoC manufacturers23:17

ubptgbot<Boris Mihailov> @Stereofont [Questions like this often get buried in this group. Usually it is better to ask …], Got it23:20
ubptgbot<X YZ> @PhoenixLandPirate [https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices], Their list of devices in "testing" looks like an overview of every phone ever. Hope they succeed with at least some.23:24
ubptgbot<Flohack> @X YZ [For my understanding (and sorry for being a little slow to understand, maybe): t …], In practice its the Android version that governs the kernel. The one the device came with. So latest firmware will contain a newer Android but still with the old kernel ;)23:27
ubptgbot<Boris Mihailov> @Flohack [In practice its the Android version that governs the kernel. The one the device …], But that's a bit different with the Xperia X, cause it came with 3.10 and got up to 4.9, or something..?23:30
ubptgbot<X YZ> @Flohack [In practice its the Android version that governs the kernel. The one the device …], So the kernel remains stuck at whatever the phone initially came with, firmware at the last one before the manufacturer lost interest, and ut tries to go on that as far as possible within reasonable limits?23:35
ubptgbot<PiecerEdd> or sometimes beyond (see: Nexus 4) 😆23:36
