ubptgbotJoannis was added by: Joannis09:52
ubptgbot<Joannis> I don't currently own a supported device, but I've been happily looking forward to working on developing more Linux clients. Does Ubuntu Touch happen to support an emulator?09:55
ubptgbot<Joannis> Or something like a VM of sorts09:55
ubptgbot<Joannis> And has anyone here compiled a Swift program on/for Ubuntu Touch?10:06
ubptgbot<just_carlod> @Joannis [And has anyone here compiled a Swift program on/for Ubuntu Touch?], Ubuntu touch supports only .click packages and you should program your app in c++/qml10:14
ubptgbot<Joannis> @just_carlod [Ubuntu touch supports only .click packages and you should program your app in c+ …], Can I not make a (Swift) binary that links with the C++ QML library?10:14
ubptgbot<Joannis> And by _should_ I assume you mean that it's possible to do otherwise, but not recommended?10:15
ubptgbot<Elias> Hello, I would like to run the entire UBports network through TOR every time the smartphone starts up, do you know how to do that?10:16
ubptgbot<Danfro> @Joannis [And by _should_ I assume you mean that it's possible to do otherwise, but not re …], Qml is mainly used for UI. You can use many languages for backend. c++ although is the only one that will allow you access all parts of the system. But JS, python, rust, go, ... can be used and are already used.10:27
ubptgbot<Joannis> @Danfro [Qml is mainly used for UI. You can use many languages for backend. c++ although …], Exactly, that makes sense 🙂10:27
ubptgbot<Joannis> Thanks to both of you!10:28
ubptgbot<Joannis> @Elias [Hello, I would like to run the entire UBports network through TOR every time the …], Wouldn't this be the same/similar to the same question on regular ubuntu?10:28
ubptgbot<Daniel> @nanu_c [Because every app started with qmlscene is called that way and there is no possi …], there is though.10:29
ubptgbot<Daniel> A thin version of "qmlscene" implementing a qml engine and exposing applicationName and title to a qt quick application is possible. At some point in qt, Window and Settings had properties exposed which could do this, but I'm not sure it was pre or post 5.910:31
ubptgbot<Daniel> I would argue that an app should be described by its window title property, for QML apps.10:32
ubptgbot<Elias> @Joannis [Wouldn't this be the same/similar to the same question on regular ubuntu?], Ubuntu Desktop is much less limited than Ubuntu Touch, if you have an answer to how to get all the ubuntu Touch network through TOR, I'm more than a taker.10:32
ubptgbot<Joannis> I don't, unfortunately. I'm really just exploring the idea of getting a new phone to start developing again. I had Ubuntu Touch installed on an old phone a long time ago, but since a Dutch news website just posted an article this has gotten my interest again.10:34
ubptgbot<jonny> @Joannis [I don't, unfortunately. I'm really just exploring the idea of getting a new phon …], Go ahead. Always a good choice. 👍🏼10:35
ubptgbot<Joannis> @Elias [Ubuntu Desktop is much less limited than Ubuntu Touch, if you have an answer to …], Does there happen to be a list of notable limitations?10:36
ubptgbot<Daniel> For dev, I love UT. I kinda don't love media-hub though.10:36
ubptgbot<Joannis> What my gut instinct says is that getting a small set of Swift libraries for UT would be a great starting place for getting more app developers involved.10:38
ubptgbot<Daniel> Imagine Dart and Flutter on UT?10:38
ubptgbot<Joannis> That'd help a tonne, too10:38
ubptgbot<Daniel> It's .. actually somewhat trivial to implement, too.10:39
ubptgbot<Daniel> I would love to write that, but I'm poor and too busy developing paid apps 😭10:41
ubptgbot<nanu_c> @Daniel [A thin version of "qmlscene" implementing a qml engine and exposing applicationN …], So you have a documentation for that?10:42
ubptgbot<Javacookies> @Daniel [For dev, I love UT. I kinda don't love media-hub though.], I think media hub is fine, just needs further development to support more use cases … what I don't like is the content hub. I feel like it has to be redesigned from the ground up. Too bad we don't billions to develop these things 😆10:42
ubptgbot<Daniel> I .. don't know, if you open Qt Creator and click "New Project", then select "Qt Quick - Empty Project" you get a thin client that, if you modify main.cpp to load argv[1] instead of "qml/main.cpp" would effectively provide the same thing.10:43
ubptgbot<Daniel> Exposing QApplication properties is relatively well documented, though.10:44
ubptgbot<Daniel> @Javacookies [I think media hub is fine, just needs further development to support more use ca …], I haven't played with it much, but I have one app where media plays, but I only get audio because of... reasons?10:44
ubptgbot<Daniel> In the same app I want to save content, and it .. "works", but only to my app's own private content folder. I don't blame content hub for it, I know very well I'm not familiar enough with it.10:45
ubptgbot<Elias> @Joannis [Does there happen to be a list of notable limitations?], Ubuntu Touch is not an open linux distribution, you can just do what you want to do, all usable applications are in the openStore. … but that's not the point, if you think Ubuntu Touch has no limitation then feel free to explain me how to get the whole ubuntu touch network t10:47
ubptgbothrough TOR. … Because under any linux distribution, it's very easy to install a tool like anonym8 https://github.com/HiroshiManRise/anonym8 to make the whole network switch to TOR.10:47
ubptgbot<Joannis> @Elias [Ubuntu Touch is not an open linux distribution, you can just do what you want to …], That's not what I'm saying. I'm actually asking for the limitations, because I'm curious.10:48
ubptgbot<Joannis> I'm not trying to argue for or against your question.10:48
ubptgbot<Daniel> Background applications aren't really a thing, sometimes calls or SMSs aren't received, many popular services from iPhone and Android aren't yet available, and video playback kinda only works from official apps10:49
ubptgbot<Daniel> Buuut you should also ask about advantages10:50
ubptgbot<Elias> @Joannis [That's not what I'm saying. I'm actually asking for the limitations, because I'm …], Okay, sorry I didn't understand, on Ubuntu Touch it's recommended to use only the tools offered in the openStore, because as soon as you start trying to install other tools, it immediately becomes a gas factory ^^10:50
ubptgbot<Joannis> @Elias [Okay, sorry I didn't understand, on Ubuntu Touch it's recommended to use only th …], I would be happy to help if I could install UT now. That'll have to wait a little while. I hope someone else in this chat has a solution for you 🙂10:52
ubptgbot<Joannis> @Daniel [Buuut you should also ask about advantages], I can see a lot of advantages, for myself at least. I've got a large set of Swift libraries that are designed for Linux . And I'm eagerly looking forward to expanding them to client devices, as well.10:53
ubptgbot<Joannis> @Daniel [Background applications aren't really a thing, sometimes calls or SMSs aren't re …], These'll be solved over time, I'm sure.10:55
ubptgbot<Joannis> It's a reinforced circle with ecosystems like these. More negative or lack of attention, leads to more. The same goes for more positive or intensive attention.10:55
ubptgbot<Daniel> I'm sorry10:56
ubptgbotLevkama was added by: Levkama10:56
ubptgbot<Daniel> I thought Swift was an iPhone/Apple thing10:56
ubptgbot<Joannis> Yeah, that's still on the back of many minds.10:56
ubptgbot<Levkama> What is the easiest programming language to develop applications for UT?10:56
ubptgbot<Daniel> QML/Javascript10:57
ubptgbot<Joannis> https://swift.org/download/#releases10:57
ubptgbot<Joannis> There's quite a few platforms now10:57
ubptgbot<Daniel> @Joannis [Yeah, that's still on the back of many minds.], Okay, so all you need is a Swift rendering system for your apps/libraries?10:57
ubptgbot<Joannis> I'm personally not interested in Windows, beyond servers10:57
ubptgbot<Joannis> @Daniel [Okay, so all you need is a Swift rendering system for your apps/libraries?], Sure10:57
ubptgbot<Joannis> I'm happy building it myself10:58
ubptgbotzarcoz was added by: zarcoz10:58
ubptgbot<Daniel> Saying "Windows Server" to me sounds like "Sushi Icecream", but I know it's a real thing10:58
ubptgbot<Joannis> @Daniel [Saying "Windows Server" to me sounds like "Sushi Icecream", but I know it's a re …], Yeah, some customers only run Windows server10:58
ubptgbot<Joannis> Idk, I hate it. But there's a demand10:58
ubptgbot<Daniel> I'm aware, and I ... don't blame them, for a lot of vendors, it's the only choice10:58
ubptgbot<Daniel> Intuit still doesn't develop ACCPAC on Linux, I think?10:58
ubptgbot<Joannis> I've got a partial MSSQL library lying around for that need10:58
ubptgbot<Daniel> Have you worked with MSSQL?10:59
ubptgbot<Daniel> Oh, sorry10:59
ubptgbot<Joannis> Not much, hardly any10:59
ubptgbot<Joannis> Luckily10:59
ubptgbot<Joannis> Just the protocol10:59
ubptgbot<Joannis> That was painful enough10:59
ubptgbot<Daniel> I read MySQL and.. yeah, me too. Yet I made a living fixing it for like 3 years.10:59
ubptgbot<Joannis> Don't think MySQL is great though.. I dismissed the entire idea of MySQL being a great system when I dove into the protocol.11:00
ubptgbot<Joannis> PSQL is a lot better in many ways11:00
ubptgbot<Daniel> I would argue that Linux-centric services require background knowledge, and MS-centric services you can fumble, google, and click your way through11:00
ubptgbot<Joannis> @Daniel [I would argue that Linux-centric services require background knowledge, and MS-c …], That's scale, isn't it?11:00
ubptgbot<Daniel> I like PGSQL I just don't live having to vacuum11:00
ubptgbot<Daniel> Scale...11:01
ubptgbot<Daniel> SQL isn't scale.11:01
ubptgbot<Joannis> Anyways, what I'm interested in is Ubuntu Touch + Swift for ARM11:01
ubptgbot<Joannis> https://swift-arm.com11:01
ubptgbot<Joannis> I mean scale in users, not data11:01
ubptgbot<Daniel> I get that, but bad indexes make fools of SQL admins11:02
ubptgbot<Daniel> I think you should attempt a port11:02
ubptgbot<Daniel> Clickable is the buildsystem11:02
ubptgbot<Daniel> If you visit https://clickable-ut.dev/en/latest/ you can get a primer on how to start.11:02
ubptgbot<Joannis> I've added you as a telegram contact, do you mind if I reach out to you when I've got an environment to use?11:03
ubptgbotihor_shaman was added by: ihor_shaman11:03
ubptgbot<Daniel> It will seem intense, but A) it isn't, and B) join https://t.me/UbuntuAppDevEN11:03
ubptgbot<Daniel> Not at all, call me if you want11:03
ubptgbot<Daniel> My English is decent enough11:03
ubptgbot<Joannis> Cool11:04
ubptgbot<Daniel> Although I've only ever developed 5 or 6 UT apps11:04
ubptgbot<Joannis> Hah, I've done 1 prototype 2 years ago I think11:04
ubptgbot<Daniel> That's 5 of my 6, no worries11:04
ubptgbot<Daniel> Not much has changed11:04
ubptgbot<Daniel> Clickable actually got more stable, and easier to use11:05
ubptgbot<Daniel> Also, they allow my last name now11:05
ubptgbot<Joannis> Wat do you mean?11:05
ubptgbot<Daniel> Oh, my last name is O'Neill11:06
ubptgbot<Daniel> And you know SQL, that isn't allowed11:06
ubptgbot<Joannis> HAH!11:06
ubptgbot<Sanath> @Daniel [Imagine Dart and Flutter on UT?], Allowing UT app development using Swift /dart is great idea 😍. … It will bring lots of mobile developer into UT ecosystem.Please let me know if you need any helping hands .I will be happy to help.11:38
ubptgbot<Joannis> Will do!11:42
ubptgbot<Joannis> I'm going to set up a development environment in a few hours11:42
ubptgbot<Joannis> I'll link it here to you and Daniel if I have a small app working11:42
ubptgbot<Joannis> Or if I'm stuck11:42
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Joannis [Does there happen to be a list of notable limitations?], few notable differences of UT compared to desktop ubuntu would be: … - a readonly rootfs … - rootfs limited to 2GB … - aggressive battery management … - applications are confined13:06
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Elias [Ubuntu Touch is not an open linux distribution, you can just do what you want to …], if that is need we need to find a way to install it no?13:06

ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Joannis [It's a reinforced circle with ecosystems like these. More negative or lack of at …], agreed xD13:09
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Elias [Okay, sorry I didn't understand, on Ubuntu Touch it's recommended to use only th …], [Edit] uh no, that's not completely through, apt just isn't supported and if libertine is not useful, there's no other alternative.........yet … currently if the solution is `install this-app` then its worth to see if libertine can do the trick13:20

ubptgbot<Javacookies> virtual touchpad on the nexus 5 wasn't working before but it got fix but it's broken again 😅15:27
ubptgbot<Javacookies> what you need is a slimport HDMI adapter amd BT KB and mouse for a better experience15:28
ubptgbot<Javacookies> it works quite well but the RAM is a limiting factor especially if you want to use the browser and/or webapps a lot15:29
ubptgbot<Javacookies> I have a long video showing it on youtube15:29

ubptgbot<Flohack> @dohbee [you can unpin old ones though], Yes but we Admins should not mess too much, that should be done by one guy only (unfortunately ;))15:53
ubptgbot<dohbee> so the wrong place to discuss it :P15:53
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> @ggio01 [Say which os is this], It's Ubuntu, possibly xfce, with latte dock. But you might prefer https://t.me/UBportsOF for those discussions :D15:53
