 youtube browser 1080p playback on nexus 5 is super luggish
[01:56] <qkall> i posted this before.... anyone know how to install unity8/lomiri on a desktop (kubuntu 20.10)?
[01:56] <qkall> there's a script for older buntu's
[01:56] <qkall> but i'm fearful of editing said script to just see what happens :|
 might be dificult on 20
[01:56] <qkall> fair enough @mateosalta
[01:56] <qkall> i appreciate the response tho :)
 even at 720p it is luggish
 there was a test iso that made testing easier
[01:57] <qkall> i have a 'tablet laptop' and just htought it was be a fun time
[01:57] <qkall> i guess i must wait longer :(
 ah, i would hunt down the iso then
[01:58]  * qkall do i want ot destroy my windows partition finally.... oh god i don't kknow.
 have to drop to 240p to make the yt experience play smoothly
 @djsoyboi [have to drop to 240p to make the yt experience play smoothly], is this in the browser, or a webapp
 webapp
 and even the browser exp is not great at all
 is the browser better?
 i might have included a flag that messes things up if the browser is much better
 720p seems to work on browser but 1080 p no on the browser
 fyi, I am using the default browser
 time to use webber to create a bitchute web app
[02:10] <qkall> any other pinephone brothas and sistas out here?
[02:10] <qkall> just curious of the main device usage (im' new here )
 here :)_
[02:11] <qkall> i see a local hd10 out there... and i've been thinking about it... 80USD sounds kinda good...
 [Edit] here :)
[02:12] <qkall> but don't know performance comparisons
 Bitchute pip mode does not work but play smoothly
 @PhoenixLandPirate [Kinda like wine], well one difference is wine doesn't sandbox anything xD
 @qkall [but don't know performance comparisons], pinephone keeps getting better :)
 Ive been using the sony x performance daily though
[02:14] <qkall> agreed
[02:15] <qkall> i would like to make my maun.... but ya
 and hopefully the volla phone gets here soon, mine is in the counrty now on tracking though
[02:17] <qkall> i was looking at that...
[02:17] <qkall>  i had an openmoko.... so lomg time follower
[02:18] <qkall> thw pine is best
[02:18] <qkall> so far
 some cellular fixes and it will be great :)
 I tried to use it daily for a bit, but it was missing text messages random at that point
 managed to get fullscreen youtube webapp going, so check out the new version of the youtube webapp on the pinephone, should work now
[02:21] <qkall> yeaaah... i havent bothered to putnmy sim in yet
 hm, I should test that. I just pushed to the store, wouldn't be good if it didn't work :)
 Even lbry plays better is better than yt on ubuntu touch
 hm, maybe the codec they use
 wonder if there is a way to force one
 Maybe
 Yt is probably using some weird codec
 i know the browser isn't accelerated yet i think
 Should i install some other browser
 the only other one is demo browser
 it might work better
 I will try and find the click, I took it off the store
 The problem with webber app is there is no page back button
 (Document) https://irc.ubports.com/Y0kCgFtM.null
 ?
 I like this version, it show your background for the background
 its a browser :)
 If ubuntu touch added page back button to the webber app, i think i can use it as a secondary phone. Otherwise, it is mostly a hobby phone
 @djsoyboi [If ubuntu touch added page back button to the webber app, i think i can use it a …], that's up to webber actually, webapps can have back buttons after all
 @Fuseteam [that's up to webber actually, webapps can have back buttons after all], Is there something like webber that have a back button
 webber is the only thing like webber, unless you make your own webapps
 ;)
 https://github.com/mateosalta/cuddly-bassoon/tree/5aa7dcbf05b966a03e266d5eb0ff0b00824ea427
 you can basically rename and replace the url and it works
 If i can save bitchute and lbry browser exp with an icon then it is essentially a web app for me
 @djsoyboi [If i can save bitchute and lbry browser exp with an icon then it is essentially …], yes you can edit the source of what webber generates or file a feature request for webber to add a back button to all its generated webapps
 @Fuseteam [yes you can edit the source of what webber generates or file a feature request f …], Let me try that
 remember webber generated webapps, imagine how "easy" it actually is to create a web app ;)
 hm, it seems morph is lagging a bit
 The back button disappeared after watch a bitchute video in fullscreen then return to normal mode
 lol, fullscreen is sometimes a mess
 Testing it using my channel video https://www.bitchute.com/video/aY4UnDbOqmqt/
 Pip mode also does not work
 Let me try it with lbry
 I think add show titlebar will solve the issue
 some sites request a window for that, might not work at all in anything
 Also one big problem is wen i swipe to close a app it just end up in endless app switch mode
 Same problem with lbry
 Will try titlebar option
 Show title bar is even worse
 @djsoyboi [Also one big problem is wen i swipe to close a app it just end up in endless app …], what do you mean by this? app switch mode?
 @Javacookies [what do you mean by this? app switch mode?], For example if u have app 1 and appl2 on the open app list it just cycle between them like 3times be4 u can close it other than just the left hand menu bar to close it
 that's weird, whoch device do you have?
[03:27] <ubptgbot> Karim2501 was added by: Karim2501
 short swipe cycles between last open apps
 @Javacookies [that's weird, whoch device do you have?], nexus 5
 @djsoyboi [Is there something like webber that have a back button], Just tap on "customize" in webber when creating an webapp. There you can select to hide/show the title bar or even set a title bar with back/forward buttons.
 If that is all that is needed to make you happy using UT...
 there are only three options don't show a title bar, show title bar show title bar with back/forward buttons
 Yes? The last two will give you a title bar. That should come with a back button.
 the problem with show title bar with back /forward buttons is wen you go from full screen back to regular size the back and forward button disappear
 I will try the enable desktop mode (via user agent) mode too
 @djsoyboi [the problem with show title bar with back /forward buttons is wen you go from fu …], Just tried a youtube video. When I leave full screen mode, the title is there again. 🤔
 @Danfro [Just tried a youtube video. When I leave full screen mode, the title is there ag …], youtube just down right lagging
 I am talking about bitchute and lbry
 I don't even know what that is.
 those are alt tech
 youtube just right now goes into 240p mode in order to play it smoothly
 for the app and the browser version
 I don't know. I hardly ever what videos on the phone.
 Telegraming from ubuntu touch nexus 5
 nexus 5 has some videos issue but morph doesn't have video accelartion
 If u can see this message u are the resistance
 webapps uses morph in a way
 I am trying to phase out yt and use alt tech only
 like gab, minds, bitchute, lbry
 btw the lbry devs are willing to assist in creating a native client for ut
 if anyone is interested in working on that
 and use dissenter to comment on msm article lol
 @djsoyboi [I am talking about bitchute and lbry], You are right. I just tested that. With bitechute the header disappears. Hm. Who knows.
 is there a way to test the phoning function
 coz I just google phone to phone myself and I can't know if I am actually hearing myself speaking or it is just echo
 @Fuseteam [btw the lbry devs are willing to assist in creating a native client for ut], I will be surprised that ppl will create a native lbry client for ut since it is a niche os
 and the telegram app on ut nexus 5 is kinda bad the keyboard is hiding the text
 does not support signal message app :<
 can't create a google map webber :<
 @Flohack [Dont call it ROM please ^^], Sorry!! I thought it was part of Android!!!
 Based on lineage os ..
 So I call it rom!!! I I did not know that this is different thinking
 @djsoyboi [does not support signal message app :<], Axolotl is for Signal on UT.
 @Danfro [Axolotl is for Signal on UT.], okay will install it
 gonna make it my hipster phone
 @djsoyboi [can't create a google map webber :<], There is a google maps webapp in the store. But puremaps and unav are great too. With osm scout they provide offline maps.
 @Danfro [There is a google maps webapp in the store. But puremaps and unav are great too. …], since my nexus 5 only have 16gb storage which one is hte lightest weight
 is there a ut version of vlc
 media play does not support mp4 :<
 and also how do you eject the nexus 5 volume from window 10
 is there other way other than just plug and unplugged the usb table
 unav is in a forever waiting for gps mode despite granting it permission
 @djsoyboi [media play does not support mp4 :<], there's a devcie specific issue on the nexus 5 on playing video natively … only  web playback works
 @djsoyboi [is there other way other than just plug and unplugged the usb table], I think MTP doesn't have eject funtionality like normal flash drives
 and ut telegram can't attach screenshot/ pic
 coz with android nexus 5 you can change mode from mtp to charge only
 @djsoyboi [unav is in a forever waiting for gps mode despite granting it permission], getting the first location fix can take a long time since there's no AGPS in UT … you should try out in the open without a roof
 @djsoyboi [and ut telegram can't attach screenshot/ pic], yes you can, there's a clip button there
 I did that
 (Photo, 720x1280) https://irc.ubports.com/gOemfmD9.png
 (Photo, 720x1280) https://irc.ubports.com/TSrZ1FOY.png
 I even searched my postal code under unav and no result
 based minds is on ut
 @djsoyboi [based minds is on ut], You are outside and having clear sky=visibility to satellites?
 @djsoyboi [<reply to media>], this is the webapp version telegram and it seems that you're using a buggy version, `Webtelegram` works fine on mine. TELEports is the native app for telegram
 I always just plug/unplug my device. Although on Ubuntu there is the unmount button.
 for me i like switching between charging mode and mtp mode on my nexus 5 android
 @djsoyboi [is there a ut version of vlc], No. I think some tried installing it in a libertine container. Nut not sure if that is any good.
 Most video codecs are not open but propriatary. Thats why...
 there are two discord in the store which one should I pick
 (Photo, 800x600) https://irc.ubports.com/iuUYbecy.png
 yep this version of telegram upload works
 wait does ubuntu touch supports deb installer?
 Not really.
 System is read only.
 Use libertine container for debs.
 nexus 5 small screen size is making a lot of apps not compatible
 Exactly. Its a phone, not a desktop pc. ☺
 (Photo, 720x1280) https://irc.ubports.com/Nm57pFEI.png
 can't even see the conversation
 Turn the phone around to landscape. You may need to unlock rotation first.
 landscape mode is the same
 But yes, some apps are not made for phone screens.
 I try that already
 Is that a web app?
 @djsoyboi [I try that already], Ok.
 landscrape + zoom - 60% works
 Only way around, make something better. All you get here is done by volunteers in their free time. No million dollar funding involved.
 That brings limitations...
 We try nethertheless. 😁
 (Photo, 1280x720) https://irc.ubports.com/HmPey4xF.png
 @djsoyboi [Should i install some other browser], Bringing in hardware decoding acceleration from the Android container is not easy. Someone needs to heavily patch the support into the browser. We use QtWebApp as browser engine, and so far nobody had time or knowledge to try this
 @Flohack [Bringing in hardware decoding acceleration from the Android container is not eas …], good pt
 but media player should have it, and also play mp4
 @Flohack [but media player should have it, and also play mp4], not on nexus 5 at least not a vhs music video

 Is there a way to minimize open apps and be just in the wallpaper page
 nope
 you can switch to windowed mode and minimize all apps but even that doesn't work at the moment because there's a bug where there's always an app that restores itself when all are minmized 😅
 Ok
 I am actually really impressed by how lightweight ut is
 https://nexus5.gadgethacks.com/how-to/get-extra-storage-space-your-nexus-5-with-usb-go-0154696/ is there something like that for ut
 if the phone supports OTG then yes it'll work

 @im_not_dead_seiwer [In UT tweak you can switch], can't do apt update because of the read-only system
 You should not use apt
 @ipoyman [can't do apt update because of the read-only system], I do not recommend using apt update in UT

 [Edit] that makes it clear thanks

 @KPETEH [Is ther way to install Ubuntu touch using adb over wi-fi?], you can setup SSH
 @dohbee [UT isn't an Android ROM. There isn't a set of images you can take and just make …], I agree with you Rodney that UT is not related to Android ROM. I will try, but if so I would draw the idea of my application for UT. In advance of the question, is it possible to virtualize (or emulator) UT for desktop operating systems?  Cute

 Im so happy to see an alternative to google and iphone. Ive been digging to find out repositories for apps, at one time had a firefox phone, tried to escape the mega corps.  I see a lot of phones listed but i want to bresk away from any thing android, or china processors or made in china. I am a long time linux supporter, trying to
[20:30] <ubptgbot> break the gates computer empire converting ms to linux one machine at a time for people done several hundred, next is replace google phones,  what would you recommend for most bang for the buck, fast, and  well featured? Thanks
 @IdahoPhotoist [Im so happy to see an alternative to google and iphone. Ive been digging to find …], the biggest problem with non android and ios phone is the lack of support for popular apps that you need to communicate with ppl
 for example, you kinda need wechat to talk to ppl in china
 @IdahoPhotoist [Im so happy to see an alternative to google and iphone. Ive been digging to find …], Without SoCs (chipsets) made in China there is nothing really. There is no western company on the planet that has capabilities for producing a 4G/5G modem affordable for a mobile phone, small and energy-saving
 and tik tok for talking to zoomers
 @djsoyboi [the biggest problem with non android and ios phone is the lack of support for po …], quite the opposite :p popular apps don't support our platform of choice
 @Fuseteam [quite the opposite :p popular apps don't support our platform of choice], maybe that
 wechat and facebook messager are data mining like crazy tet if you want to communicate with ppl you have to use it
 the difference seems subtle but in the former it sounds as if we can something about it; while in reality we can't, if they don't offer support we can't do anything
 anbox is something yes, but it won't work for everything
 Happy New Year!
 To preempt the discussion: The official time of this group is UTC+1, therefore there are 2 hours to go until the year is new. :P
 Prepare yourself.
 Happy new year!!!!!
 Frim Russia
 [Edit] From Russia
 С новым годом из России!!! / Happy new year from Russia
 @IdahoPhotoist [Im so happy to see an alternative to google and iphone. Ive been digging to find …], For used, Xperia X. New, probably Volla. But Pinephone is the purest in a way. Needs further development though
 @IdahoPhotoist [Im so happy to see an alternative to google and iphone. Ive been digging to find …], I think the best equipped new phone is this: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/pro1/
 Or one of the devices Lionel just pointed out.
 @Stereofont [For used, Xperia X. New, probably Volla. But Pinephone is the purest in a way. N …], I love my Xperia XZ but I kind of wish I had gone with an Xperia X
 @Stereofont [For used, Xperia X. New, probably Volla. But Pinephone is the purest in a way. N …], [Edit] I love my Xperia XZ but I kind of wish I had gone with an Xperia X. The port was awesome work but no camera and flashlight means it's hard to daily carry
 Yeah, some if the newer devices still need some work done.
 @Danfro [I think the best equipped new phone is this: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/dev …], For those with very deep pockets

 @djsoyboi [I wonder if there is an infowar app for ut], Whatever that is, no
 Sayonara 2020 😂
 Bye bye...
 @Steve Kueffer [<reply to media>], Geiles Bild 😂
 Happy new year 2021
 @Steve Kueffer [<reply to media>], [Edit] Nice Pic 😂
 I feel sad that people can already say that, when I am still in 2020. XD Eastern Time Zone for ya xD
 A new year introduces a new system-image server. It's happily purring away, importing images. Now I can say I did everything I wanted to do before the end of 2020. :)
 Like a CI?
 Nah, new CI servers was last week
 https://gitlab.com/ubports/infrastructure/system-image-server
 did I seriously write markdown syntax in restructuredtext again
 @UniversalSuperBox [https://gitlab.com/ubports/infrastructure/system-image-server], That is actually really cool, I didn't know y'all used that to host images
 Updated to Python3.8 from 2.7 and 20.04 from 16.04.
 @UniversalSuperBox [Updated to Python3.8 from 2.7 and 20.04 from 16.04.], Wait, so we are using Ubuntu touch, but instead of Ubuntu touch 16.04, we are now using Ubuntu touch 20.04mm
 uh no
 @UniversalSuperBox [Updated to Python3.8 from 2.7 and 20.04 from 16.04.], [Edit] Wait, so we are using Ubuntu touch, but instead of Ubuntu touch 16.04, we are now using Ubuntu touch 20.04?
 Ubuntu 20.04 is distributing Ubuntu Touch
 Oh. Still cool tho!
 Touch wood, that was the last thing that held back the upgrade of all the infrastructure to 20.04.
 Aha. But it is fixed now, and that is all that matters
 The final impetus for that weeks-long job? I wanted to change the useragent of the `urlopen()` calls so it can download from GitLab CI artifacts without a middleman, since GitLab's Cloudflare setup doesn't take into account that they're GitLab.
 I still haven't done that
 Oh heh
 ❤❤❤❤ new year
 @UniversalSuperBox [Ubuntu 20.04 is distributing Ubuntu Touch], They are distributing UB Touch?
 Happy New Year!
