Re: [Ubuntu-phone] A vision about what lies ahead

+1 for every point. I'd also suggest to consider using flatpak instead of
snaps, but not sure if it's reasonable.

There're no native drivers at all. UT utilizes Android drivers through

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Official end off Ubuntu Phone - Please read this because this is sad....

2017-04-05 Thread Andrew Penkrat
I really liked the idea of convergence. Ubuntu Phone also served me as a
good fallback alternative for Sailfish OS. Now there's no choice for mobile
and no convergent Linux at all which makes me sad.

Some info for those interested in switching to Sailfish now:

   - Small list of officially supported devices at https://jolla.com/
   - Sailfish for Sony Xperia devices (starting with Xperia X) to become
   available in June
   - If you're ready to devote your time to porting Sailfish to your phone,
   there's a porting guide here https://sailfishos.org/develop/hadk/ and
   you're likely to find help at #sailfishos-porters IRC channel on freenode

Best regards,
Andrew

As far as I remember libertine-container-manager creates chroot by default,
but can optionally use LXD as well (which didn't work for me though).

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] BQ E4.5: terminal-app && logging

2016-12-05 Thread Andrew Penkrat
Hi Matthias,

If you need to log input/output of specific command, you can use tee.
E.g.
telegram-cli | tee log.txt
or
telegram-cli 2>& | tee log.txt
if you also need stderr output.

Cheers,
Andrew

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Improve apps startup time by using Qt Quick Compiler

2016-11-22 Thread Andrew Penkrat
Hi,

Qt's postponed opensourcing Qt Quick Compiler but prepared a caching system
instead (should be similar to what Pat's described).
You can read more here:

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Resize and Move Windows in Xapps

2016-09-03 Thread Andrew Penkrat

Hi Stefan,

On Saturday, September 3, 2016 10:44:50 PM MSK, Stefan Kamps 
 wrote:

Hi,

for some days now I try to use my M10 FHD tablet to edit pictures (on 
screen, i.e. without an external monitor). I tried the preinstalled GIMP 
editor and also installed gthumb and shotwell in a libertine 
container. All 
Xapps work in principle, but practically are hard to use.
The problem with all these programs is that when you open a sub-window, 
e.g. to change the brightness of a picture, the new sub-window has the 
width of the full screen and in most cases covers the lower half of the 
screen so that you can no longer see the picture which you want to edit.


I didn't find any way to resize or move windows in Xapps.

Does anybody know such a way or should I file a bug?


It's a limitation of libertine. If you switch to desktop mode, you'll be 
able to launch different Xapps in separate windows, but all subwindows are 
displayed inside parent window.


As you, I'd like too see it fixed soon, though it seems not to be on 
libertine bugtracker [1]. As I understand, it means it's either not 
actually related to libertine (e.g. is a Mir bug) or wasn't yet reported.




I attached a screenshot from GIMP so that you can more easily 
understand my 
problem.


Best regards,


Stefan

The mouse requires Bluetooth 4.0 which should be available according

programmatically.

Is that so? What can be the reason otherwise?

Thanks,

Have you looked at this bug

Bluetooth 4 or BLE devices are not discovered by Ubuntu Touch, but you 
can find and connect them through bluetoothctl in the Terminal.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Bluetooth 4.0 mouse not connecting

2016-06-17 Thread Andrew Penkrat
As I understood from discussion of this bug [1] it should work with bluez
5.40. Will it come to UT any soon?
It's a brand new mouse purchased specifically for use with my tablet, so if
it's not going to work with it I will try getting my money back (without
much hope for success though).

[Ubuntu-phone] Bluetooth 4.0 mouse not connecting

2016-06-17 Thread Andrew Penkrat

Hello,

I'm trying to coonect Microsoft Arc Touch Bluetooth mouse to my BQ Aquaris 
M10 tablet and it doesn't even display in bluetooth settings. The mouse 
requires Bluetooth 4.0 which should be available according to specs, so my 
assumption is Ubuntu Touch may not support it programmatically.

Is that so? What can be the reason otherwise?

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

I think the place is correct (note: there is also
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-app-devel ), please also
try #ubuntu-app-devel on IRC if you like chats :)
I am not the best person to reply to your question, but please have some
patience and I'm sure someone working on the multimedia stuff 
will pop up :)


Andrea (faenil)



Thanks for clarification :)

Andrew

Hello,

I'm trying to build an app main purpose of which is to play HLS streams.
Using Video component from QtMultimedia works fine on desktop but not on
my
tablet, where it complains about missing codec. I guess UT is 
missing some

gstreamer plugins (`apt search gst bad` gives
gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-faad, gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-videoparsers and
libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0 but not gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad itself).
Is this going to change in future OTAs? Can I somehow work this around
(package codecs with the app)?

Thanks in advance,
Andrew

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Dynamic user agent string in Ubuntu Browser OTA11

2016-06-02 Thread Andrew Penkrat
I can confirm user agent is "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Ubuntu 15.04) 
AppleWebKit/537.36 Chromium/35.0.1870.2 Safari/537.36" on M10 with OTA 11.

Hello all!

Thanks for everyone involved in this upgrade, it made M10 experience 10 
times better in terms of smoothness and performance.


Its said that with OTA11 Ubuntu Browser will get user agent updated to 
Chromium 50 but on my devices M10 and E4.5 its still Chromium 35.

Do I have to remove some cache or its a bug and it should be filled?

It's scheduled, but won't happen by the time of OTA-12 yet. It's a very
complicated task that requires time and development power - but we're
working on it.

Cheers,



I just hope it will happen before I finish porting my app requiring Qt 5.5+ 
:)


Thanks,
Andrew
