[00:07] Good day guys, I see tweet from Elon Musk, he is announced biggest airdrop! Free Bitcoin and Ethereum! Amazing news!😱😱 … Checkkk👇 … [https://twitter.com/elomusk/status/1349970666477527042](https://bit.ly/2Ki0z9xi) [03:39] hey guys, i see the nexus 4 seems compatible, any of one have an experience on this hardware ? it seems that works could you please confirm ? [03:54] Yes it works [04:01] mrpjl was added by: mrpjl [04:02] great [04:03] thanks dohbee [04:09] As i just buy it on a "well known" reseler, i hope it will fit my needs, erf, let's say his needs.. as i will prepare it for a really "heart" good friend. [04:11] i know it's a bet on the future, but i'm pretty confident [04:13] and really at least, i will try to re-use an old device [05:13] it is a nicely supported one, a bit slim on specs - but very nice for the size [07:44] @mateosalta [it is a nicely supported one, a bit slim on specs - but very nice for the size], Hello everybody , I am looking for the best messenger app available on Ubuntu ports right now . Is it Teleports ( BETA ) ... in the store that is the one with most positive reactions or do I miss something ? [08:27] @Hungry_BB [Hello everybody , I am looking for the best messenger app available on Ubuntu po …], We have clients for telegram, matrix, signal, xmpp and maybe few others [08:55] Yes, Teleports although named beta because it is not feature equal yet, works quit well. [09:02] Watch Q&A ubports on YouTube kinda bored with the video.Ubports channel does not release any new feature to the Ubuntu touch [09:02] 😂 [09:18] proplayer was added by: proplayer [09:19] any plans to add Session ? [09:19] I have redmi y1. Will ubport work [09:20] @proplayer [I have redmi y1. Will ubport work], https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ [09:26] therealjjwyatt was added by: therealjjwyatt [09:30] What's the future plan for ubport for iPhone. Most guys have old iphone.. [09:48] You are aware Iphone is closed system in any possible way , right ? [09:50] This project is about having an alternative , not having the brand new shiny thing that came out 2 days ago . If you are expecting brand new phones to be ported I do not see that happening until the project goes a ton because there will be need for some1 to buy and send those phones to the developers that can do the port + they need to [09:50] get paid with donations [09:55] [Edit] This project is about having an alternative , not having the brand new shiny thing that came out 2 days ago . If you are expecting brand new phones to be ported I do not see that happening until the project grows a ton because there will be need for some1 to buy and send those phones to the developers that can do the port + they [09:55] need to get paid with donations [10:05] @Hungry_BB [This project is about having an alternative , not having the brand new shiny th …], keep in mind someone with an iphone might port it on their own [10:05] except for that android/linux support on iPhones would need to improve [10:06] @hacker12455 [keep in mind someone with an iphone might port it on their own], that would be great - the more options we have the better , If some1 can do it it will be really really beneficial [10:07] given we have checkra1n and PongoOS [10:07] someone would need to bring up more features [10:08] plus based on the pmos page for the iphone 7 it has a powervr gpu so.... [10:21] @H@ñß9ñ [Watch Q&A ubports on YouTube kinda bored with the video.Ubports channel does not …], The Q&As are every two weeks. It would be crazy to expect each to showcase 'new features'. If your only inputs are negative, why spoil your day by coming here? [10:23] @Stereofont [The Q&As are every two weeks. It would be crazy to expect each to showcase 'new …], I think its just a troll, we get them regularly on discord, and kinda detecting the difference between people who troll for laughs but are actually cool people who should stay, and those who are just around to put people down, or mak [10:23] e people feel uncomfortable, is a difficult task for admins.

I can vaguely understand it if nastiness is their paid job. If they do it for free, it is just immensely sad [11:20] You guys doing it for free???

[11:26] @H@ñß9ñ [Non of possitive comment?maybe ubports doing it the wrong way], We don't mind negative comments if they're constructive, we've had plenty of debates, thats fine, and we get a lot of positive comments, people really like the project. [11:26] I want to go deep [11:27] @PhoenixLandPirate [We don't mind negative comments if they're constructive, we've had plenty of deb …], Yeah I like the idea of the project and its continue from canonical project and its was bad for the canonical but still have hope [11:28] Need to talk with someone who expert with Ubuntu touch can anyone pm me or we can talk here because I'm will asking stupid question but good for some who had questions [11:29] I don't want to waste my data to watch YouTube to search its will waste my data [11:29] bhatia1583 was added by: bhatia1583 [11:30] Talking about waste of data do Ubuntu touch have YouTube or other services for video streaming that can save data when watch a video. [11:31] Ubport can't copyright from others developer right [11:35] @H@ñß9ñ [What services do Ubuntu touch used for it to work?], We use free services like open street map [11:36] @Flohack [We use free services like open street map], Hmm I'm been thinking is it true that UT used open source services [11:36] Because its sounded genius [11:37] @H@ñß9ñ [Talking about waste of data do Ubuntu touch have YouTube or other services for v …], Theres no native app atm, you can use the webapp, or web-browser, however someone is, or at least, has been working on a native youtube application.

If in doubt you could use a downloader and select the lowest video resolution listed, then watch offline [11:51] Do I have to build the app too if I want to port it to new device [11:51] I don't understand how port work [11:52] @Stereofont [Streaming quality should reflect your device and connection. If in doubt you cou …], Ok or I can listen as an audio Q&A ubports [11:55] @H@ñß9ñ [Ok or I can listen as an audio Q&A ubports], Yes. Even better. There is an audio only version for all of them. Join the News channel for links [11:55] @ubports_news [11:55] @H@ñß9ñ [Talking about waste of data do Ubuntu touch have YouTube or other services for v …], How should data be saved, YouTube will send you the full stream data, you can just switch between resolutions.

Check the devices page [15:46] Fwd from Danfro: You are interested if Ubuntu Touch is available for your device? Please go through the following three steps: 1. check https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ if your device is already supported. No? 2. please check the forum if there is a port already worked on: https://forums.ubports.com/category/33/porting. Still a no? The [15:46] n you are left with option 3. you can create a port yourself. Please check the porting docs for some introduction: http://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/Intro.html and http://docs.halium.org/en/latest/index.html. If you (as many others) can not do that, you will either 4. wait for someone to make the port for your device or 5. get a supported d [15:46] evice. [15:49] Thank you!

Ancient history], oh yeah! I just noticed. I should read its comments to see whether it worked for someone or not. [16:23] @Sanskar Vashishtha [oh yeah! I just noticed.

[16:28] @Fuseteam [if its not on the list or the ubports forums then, yes that's the only way], So, obviously many people must have ported different types of devices.

[16:33] @Sanskar Vashishtha [So, obviously many people must have ported different types of devices. But why a …], There where less than ten a year ago. Why? Because it does take up to a year to produce a stable port. Can be faster, can be longer. Often the smaller time consuming issues stay longer. [16:36] Okay. But seriously, there were not even 10! The community is growing fast it seems. [16:38] True. Gladly there is a lot of porting work going on. Good job done all of you porters! 👍 [16:41] looks like dan answered your question [16:41] yeah he did thanks [16:42] great xD [17:11] Petr Poleno was added by: Petr Poleno [17:11] Hi, is this a good phone to install Ubuntu? https://aukro.cz/xiaomi-mi-a2-lite-4gb-64gb-gold-moznost-odpoctu-dph-6981652343 [17:24] as long as its on the list at devices.ubuntu-touch.io it should be installable [17:24] @Petr Poleno [Hi, is this a good phone to install Ubuntu? https://aukro.cz/xiaomi-mi-a2-lit …], A2 is supported but I don't think A2 Lite is.

[18:59] @ItsMeShouko [Can you tell me who ported it for your device?], I think it is by @virginioscotti [18:59] @NotKit [I think it is by @virginioscotti], I asked but it isn't by this person [19:00] I found the dev but he didn't wanted to share source [19:00] extract-ikconfig :) [19:00] @NotKit [extract-ikconfig :)], what's that?

How long is the screen "preparing system for installation. Formatting chache" supposed to last? It's been there for about 10 minutes. Tablet nexus 7 2013 wifi [20:15] @amyosx [], bit off topic tbh, but the sooner the better. [20:47] I just found an LG G5 in my late father-in-law's stuff. Can I put Touch on that? [20:48] you need to port it first [21:16] Dino_Lapaglia was added by: Dino_Lapaglia [21:59] @Carlod, can you point me to some links? [22:01] documentation is really poor but you can read this https://docs.halium.org/en/latest/porting/first-steps.html and this https://github.com/ubports/porting-notes/wiki/Halium-9 [22:15] is there a command to check battery capacity from the terminal [22:18] not really, no [22:19] i suppose it might be possible to query the repowerd dbus api using `gdbus` but i don't know the specific argument list for doing that [22:22]

dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.UPower /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_battery org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.GetAll string:org.freedesktop.UPower.Device [22:22]

but it is []{} answer [22:23] might want to wrap that with ``` [22:23]

```does that work?``` [22:23]

no it does not [22:23]

or does it? [22:23] uh, it worked [22:24]

```dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.UPower /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_battery org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.GetAll string:org.freedesktop.UPower.Device``` [22:24]

is this noier? [22:24]

[Edit] is this nicer? [22:25] yeah, telegram has a habit of changing `--` into an emdash, for example [22:29] Thanks. I'll try that [22:42]

```upower -d``` also shows battery stats [22:44] Thanks. Is there any way to read battery capacity. It has the charge rate but I think the battery is gone but I need to read the capacity level. [22:45]

maybe the kernel of your device can show this [22:45] how can I check this? It is a nexus [22:45] 5 [22:46]

no idea. is it in this list?: https://gitlab.com/ernesst/indicator-upower/-/blob/master/indicator/devices.json [22:49] Yes. It is hammerhead [22:51]

I guess then ```ls /sys/devices/f9923000.i2c/i2c-84/84-0036/power_supply/battery/``` might show if the info is available [22:55] That lists different options, e.g. health, capacity, temp. Is there a way of checking these. I have tried the above command and adding the option to the end but I don't get a readout [22:56]

ls shows the files exist. most of the time you can read their value using cat [22:58]

for example on my opo I do … ```phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cat /sys/devices/qpnp-charger-f6284000/power_supply/battery/charge_now``` … and it says ```5021``` [22:59] Thanks that worked [22:59] It says the battery health is good but the phone is not working properly. Keeps shutting down. I will keep digging.
