 It isn't just you.
 The Twitter app hasn't worked properly (or been updated)
 
 for over a year. It seems to have at least
 partially and accidentally 
 started working
 again after a recent browser update. But sadly that
 didn't 
 fix the notifications which are
 gone for good. 
 
 There is an
 alternative Twitter app, but that doesn't get
 notifications 
 either, but it does work
 better.

[Ubuntu-phone] OTA-15 Web Browser Improvements - Thanks

[Phil]

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the work on the browser that came 
in with OTA-15.  The Twitter mobile site now works fully again and my little 
web-apps that take me directly into my Twitter lists now work again (previously 
they were blocked by Twitter, I'm guessing due to the browser not supporting 
certain funtionality).  A small thing, in the grand scheme of things, but 
something I use a lot and so it's very useful to me.

Cheers

Phil

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Bluetooth died after OTA13

[Phil]

I just tried OTA-13 with my Bluetooth speaker and it worked OK, and the 
indicator was fine.

 For me, OTA13 has finally fixed the
 HFT pairing issues I was having.
 
 There are still issues with audio routing, but I'm sure
 we'll get to 
 those in due time (hopefully soon, so I can use the phone
 while driving 
 again).

 Hi,
 
 I have Raspberry Pi and I would like to access it using my
 Ubuntu phone (Aquaris 4.5)
 
 On Android I am using VX ConnectBot (that gives me console
 like experience) and bVNC Free (that is more like accessing
 virtual desktop of my Raspberry)
 
 I was looking in ubuntu app store for "SSH" and
 "VNC" keywords, but nothing shows up.

For the SSH, open up the terminal app (you'll need to enter your lock code) 
then you can use the ssh command, the basic form is
ssh user@servername-or-ip
If you search for SSH guides you can find more information on all the 
command-line switches etc, along with generating keys, if you want.  Or I'm 
sure there are a couple of articles available free, CC-By-SA on the LV 
site/archives:-
https://www.linuxvoice.com/creative-commons-issues/
http://lvarchivum.com/

As for the VNC, sorry, don't knw about that.

 
 When I googled - all I found were ways to access Ubuntu
 Touch from PC which is kind of opposite.
 
 Any suggestions? I have a feeling that there is something in
 app store, but somehow I cannot find it.
 
 On my Raspberry I hav Tightvncserver installed, but I am
 open for anything.
 
 
 
 Thank you,
 
 Chris

[Ubuntu-phone] Adding New Keyboard Layouts

[Phil]

Is there any movement on the much long ago mentioned "layout generation tool" 
(mentioned here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KeyboardLayouts )?

Assuming not, how can I test a new layout I make on my phone - do I need to 
make it writeable and then copy the files into 
/usr/share/maliit/plugins/com/ubuntu/lib/ (plus other places, I'm guessing - I 
need to have a look at the referenced Catalan merge request)?  I was thinking 
of making an EN-GB coding keyboard, with easy access to characters like |, <, 
>, etc from the alphanumeric layout - in this case what should I call the 
layout as I notice that the keyboard selection area in the settings referenced 
them by two letter country codes, and obviously this won't have one of them?

Cheers

[Ubuntu-phone] Bluetooth Shower Water Resistant Speaker

[Phil]

If anyone else is looking for such a thing, I got this bluetooth shower speaker 
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00T2BJ22U and it plays podcasts fine from 
Ubuntu Touch.  The speaker's controls don't work, yet, but that doesn't matter 
to me and I'm sure I've seen previous bits that this isn't implemented yet.

 Hello everyone!
 
 Some bad news today regarding OTA-12: unexpectedly we will
 have to
 delay the release by one week again. Due to some internal
 reasons the
 final testing still needs one week to finish, meaning an
 official
 release next week on Wednesday (27th). All pieces are in
 place and
 almost ready for release but sadly we cannot until this one
 more
 formal step is finished. Apologies about the short notice -
 I just
 learned about it recently myself.
 But no worries, it will come as soon as possible. We will
 keep
 everyone up-to-date.
 
 In the meantime our OTA-13 landings continue. Today we only
 had two
 landings: a cross-build fix for ubuntu-ui-extras and a new
 address-book-app fixing screen-rotation breaking sim-contact
 imports.
 
 As for our plans for OTA-13. Currently we are aiming at a
 few new
 features, a couple of which have been already mentioned
 here. First
 bigger change in the next update is the introduction of the
 new power
 management daemon implementation - repowerd. The other plans
 are:
 multiple google calendar sync, WAPI support and Android 6.0
 BSP
 support (already landed in rc-proposed). Of course, this can
 change
 and it's usually best to just track our bug milestone for
 this OTA:
 https://launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+milestone/13
 
 Also, we started keeping track of commitlog images for the
 turbo
 device as well. Those can now be found below along with the
 others.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] What’s new in webbrowser-app in OTA-12 ?

 Hi all,
 
 With the release of OTA-12 just around the corner, here is a
 list of
 the most significant changes in the browser app since
 OTA-11:
 
  - Consistent page headers across the UI, making use of UITK
 Page and PageHeader
  - Display the currently hovered hyperlink’s target URL in
 an overlay
  - Only load the current tab when the session is restored
  - Touch selection improvements
  - Dynamic chromium version number in default user-agent
 string
  - New keyboard shortcuts for persistent per-domain zoom
 factor
  - Optimized new tab view loading time
  - Updated user-agent overrides for youtube and gmail
  - Set the front camera as the default for video media
 requests
 
 And a number of bug fixes.
 Anyone interested in details, have a look at the bzr history
 for
 lp:webbrowser-app, revisions 1454 to 1493.
 
 Happy web browsing!
 
  Olivier

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] An android confession

[Phil]

(IIRC) I used to have Waze installed on my tablet, then an update came in with 
a bunch of additional permission requirements and when I'd finished laughing 
hysterically at the harvester pods it wanted to unleash on my data, I 
uninstalled it.  That's how it's funded.

 Waze on Android on the
 otherhand has has a makeover and is looking fantastic. It
 knew where I was right away with no delay whatsoever,
 plotted the route in a flash and all the things I need to be
 paying attention to such as speed cameras are nicely
 highlighted on screen. It now even tells you how long a
 traffic jam is and how far through it you are. It handles
 getting disconnected from the internet seamlessly and all
 you have to worry about is the driving.
 
 
 
 I would be intrigued to know how this free app is funded.
 I'm a firm believer though that anything that can be
 done, can be done better open source. This certainly sets
 the bar. Does anyone know if there are any outstanding gps
 issues either with touch or with unav itself right
 now?
 
 Waze was bought by Google for $1.3 billion.
 They crowdsource the traffic data, and it works quite well
 because they have so many users.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] A very open thank you.

[Phil]

I don't think Facebook would be interested in people's money (directly) - I 
think they'd be much more interested in a constant advertising stream and 
access to your data.  Though in UT this is nicely sandboxed, so they'd only get 
what data you used via the app, rather than having carte-blanche to everything 
that's set up in the security permissions, as happens with iOS and Android (so 
I think this would be a _lot_ less attractive to them).

 Why don't we start
 campaign to get funds to pay facebook to port the app 
 ?Since we paid for it, ads would'nt be a
 problem. If messenger for ubuntu 
 was a paid
 app,I would paid for it. Facebook doesn't know that.
 People 
 could pay to have a Facebook
 'premium' without ads. Anyone have Zuckerber

There was a large glut of people uninstalling the app (from Android, at least, 
but I suspect iOS was the same) a short while ago after it became more and more 
intrusive, and they went back to the web client.  I suspect this is Facebook's 
kickback against that.  Yeah, just try to get people to install Telegram 
alongside it - at least it's free and quite easy to do, so you may be able to 
get some converts.  I don't know how well the full site views on a phone - if 
it's usable, you could create a web-app with a desktop user agent string so you 
get the full site on your phone (and still keep the site sandboxed).  That's 
what I did with an app I knocked up and pushed up to the store - Fatter: which 
gives a full-fat Twitter experience (e.g. you can control list membership, etc).

 Hello,
 
 Is there a possibility to change the user agent the web
 browser on UT 
 sends to sites?
 E.G. slack.com does not support UT. When opening the site, I
 have no 
 access to channels.
 If I can say "i am a desktop", the displayed data would be
 the same as 
 on PC. This is ok on a Meizu 5 PRO.

I don't think you can do this from the browser settings, however if you create 
a new web app (and, I guess, you could create a whole general browser by not 
putting a URL pattern restriction in) you can specify the user agent.  For 
example I created a "full-fat" app to access the Twitter site, as certain 
functions are restricted/.blocked on the mobile site, my app's Exec line set up 
a desktop agent to send:-

Exec=webapp-container --enable-back-forward --store-session-cookies 
--user-agent-string="Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Ubuntu) AppleWebKit/537.36 
Chromium/35.0.1870.2 Safari/537.36" 
--webappUrlPatterns=https?://*.twitter.com/*,https?://twitter.com/* 
http://twitter.com %u

You could then package this as a click package and then manually install it on 
your device

  Hi,
  
  
  So initially the "store" seemed to work and I
  could download apps. Then it seemed that I had to enter
 the
  password for every app download.
  
  
  I thought that deleting and re-entering the Ubuntu One
  account might solve this issue.
  
  
  But there is no way to enter the "Ubuntu One
  Account" It does not exist on the list of accounts
  to create.
  
  
  How do you do this from the command line please.
  
  
  Regards
  
  
  Paul
 
 
 I've found the store to be a bit flaky, recently, too. A few
 days ago it wouldn't let me search at all, then Monday
 though it loaded up all the game items, it only downloaded
 about half of the icons, and on later apps that I went into
 it didn't download the images at all.  This was on a
 strong, reliable wifi network.  Has it had any issues,
 or been DDOSed, or something, recently?
 
 Regards

As an addendum to this - I just tried the Ubuntu Store and it's not showing me 
any results at all, again.  I tried removing and adding my Ubuntu One account 
and still nothing (I checked my internet connection, and it's fine) - is anyone 
else experiencing this, ATM?

 Hi,
 
 
 So initially the "store" seemed to work and I
 could download apps. Then it seemed that I had to enter the
 password for every app download.
 
 
 I thought that deleting and re-entering the Ubuntu One
 account might solve this issue.
 
 
 But there is no way to enter the "Ubuntu One
 Account" It does not exist on the list of accounts
 to create.
 
 
 How do you do this from the command line please.
 
 
 Regards
 
 
 Paul


I've found the store to be a bit flaky, recently, too. A few days ago it 
wouldn't let me search at all, then Monday though it loaded up all the game 
items, it only downloaded about half of the icons, and on later apps that I 
went into it didn't download the images at all.  This was on a strong, reliable 
wifi network.  Has it had any issues, or been DDOSed, or something, recently?

Regards

Phil

Telegram works fine on my phone (Nexus 4/Mako/OTA10.1) and have tested sending

[Ubuntu-phone] SSH From Phone Using Keys Errors

[Phil]

I had RSA keys set up so that I could ssh to my home server and after OTA-10, 
these no longer work - it gives an "Agent admitted failure to sign using the 
key." error.

Having a quick Google, ssh-add is suggested to fix this, but that doesn't work. 
 I've run it with debug output and I get this output (the ssh-add would account 
for why it's trying twice).

Do I just need to regenerate the keys on my phone?  I'm guessing that may fix

any more debug or testing information.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] backup apps [was] Re: Is it time to flash my phone?

[Phil]

I knocked up a couple of very quick and dirty scripts - they are in a 
subdirectory of the home path:

fullback.sh
sudo tar cvpjf backupfull.tar.bz2 --exclude=/proc --exclude=/run 
--exclude=/var/run --exclude=/cache --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys / 
--exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/tmp --exclude=backup*.tar.bz2 
--exclude=/SWAP.swap --exclude=/data/media/*

homeback.sh
sudo tar cvpjf backuphome.tar.bz2 /home/phablet 
--exclude=/home/phablet/backup/* --exclude=Videos --exclude=Pictures

The first one does a full system backup, excluding anything you wouldn't want 
to backup.  The second backs up all the user data and app prefs, excluding the 
potentail large files in pics and vids.

It's not pretty, but it can at least give you a rough backup.

 Sorry for the thread hijack,
 but there seems to be a very obvious lack of any 
 backup apps, or any way to easily backup
 data.
 
 Is anyone working on
 one or any plans for one?

 Hi, folks!
 Everytime I open Ubuntu Store it shows me very

 "highlights", really - few 0-star-rated scopes for
 Russian sites. They have very poor functionality, and I
 already seen them. Why I can't see, for example, scopes

 My question is - why?

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] keyboard layout

[Phil]

Hi Julia, so does this mean that if we duplicated those keyboard files on our 
phones we could create our own custom layouts?

I believe they are in 
/usr/share/maliit/plugins/com/ubuntu/lib/{country code}/
so if I copied the UK one over to a new, usused country code (to avoid 
conflicts), I could create a techie one that's more useful for shell usage?  
Obviously I'd need to make my image RW, temporarily, and this may be 
overwritten/removed by updates, but that should work?

Cheers

Phil

 Hello.
 I want to raise a suggestion for more consistency in Ubuntu
 Phone user
 interface.
 Particularly 2 UI elements: Back button and menu button.
 
 Back button is located in left-upper corner, like here in
 Wi-Fi menu
 Stretching the thumb to that corner is not easy (regardless
 left- or
 right-hand usage).
 More natural will be using horisontal swipe from the middle
 of the screen,
 the same way as it's done for shuffling scopes back.
 
 
 I think it will work almost everywhere, making interface
 experience more
 streamlined.
 

Won't that create problems when scrolling around webpages (and many other 
things)?  I frequently zoom in on webpages and scroll around horizontally, as 
well as vertically - how will that gesture be differentiated from scrolling the 
page to the right?

This is a great e-mail to see - it embraces openness and letting users know 
exactly what happened and what the implications of it are.  Everyone 
appreciates that mistakes can happen, and it's how they are dealt with that 
counts - it's really refreshing and heartening to see such a great approach to 
dealing with this issue, rather than the usual brushing of it under the carpet 
that many other companies would have done.

Thanks for being a great company with a great culture.

 Hello everyone!
 
 As some of you already know during the night (UTC time) our
 OTA-7 image
 has popped up as an update for a short period of time for
 stable phone
 users. This was caused by an accidental copy of the release
 candidate
 image to the wrong channel, so we removed it after a few
 minutes. That
 being said, certain users were still able to update already,
 with others
 getting a no-op update notification when looking at their
 phones.
 
 Those that installed the update already: think of yourselves
 as the
 lucky people that were able to get their hands on the update
 before the
 official release! The image is safe and tested by our QA, so
 you should
 not be worried by anything.
 
 Those that just got the notification and didn't manage to
 update:
 apologies for the empty update notification. The release is
 planned for
 Monday, so just a few more days and it'll be available on
 your devices
 as well!
 
 The official release date stays the same - Monday next week.
 We still
 have to do a few formalities on the images and then start
 phasing it out
 to users.
 Once again, apologies for the confusion!
 
 Best regards,

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] RollApp service not work with Ubuntu Phone web browser

[Phil]

As a temporary measure, it's easy to write your own web-app wrapper which 
overrides the UA, and install it locally, if you work out all the domains that 
the app needs to use - I've done this with the Twitter site so that people can 
get the full web version, rather than the mobile version, as that offers 
certain facilities (e.g. list management) not available on the mobile one.

 It looks like a
 simple UA override for rollapp.com is enough to get it
 working. I just tested and was able to launch
 gimp and libreoffice

 I’ve re-opened

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] The problem with "no background processing for apps"

[Phil]

I thought I'd add my thoughts into this.  As a long-time user of the N900 
running Maemo, I've been very used to multitasking.  I used to laugh at my 
friends who ran iOS that they didn't even have the option to multitask, if they 
wanted.  On my desktop and on my Maemo phone, I've always had: Linux means it's 
my device, my choice on how to use it.  I could multitask the hell out of my 
phone, if I really wanted, and I accepted that this would hit my battery life.  
Trying to preserve battery life arbitrarily by blocking multitasking is, IMHO, 
a huge step backwards and a move towards Apple's terrible smoke-and-mirrors 
strategy.  They used to tout that their devices had miraculous battery life, 
but this was due to them blocking multitasking - as soon as they dropped in 
their multitasking framework, their battery life dropped to the same level as 
everyone else's.  To me, Linux is about freedom and not having arbitrary 
controls inflicted upon the user - this is
 one of the reasons that Ubuntu Touch is the first mobile OS to be able to 
tempt me away from my N900, but to have this restriction "imposed" is extremely 
disappointing.  Now, on the flip side, I can understand why multitasking is 
disabled, by default - for many users, it's probably the best setting, and 
also, whilst it's nice to have on Maemo, it being always-on, for every app is 
also not such an optimal setting.

For my use-case - I SSH onto my home server several times a week, and whilst 
I'm connected on, I'll flick off to other apps, so whilst I can always 
reconnect or bring the suspended program to foreground, this is extremely 
inconvenient.  I've installed TweakGeek from the Open Store and allowed the 
terminal to run in background, and this is perfect and does exactly what I 
want, but surely it would be a lot better to include this in the base OS, 
rather than have users need to install an external app to enable this 
functionality?  I would have thought a good option would be to set it up as an 
app permission/option, but also to have it as a switchable setting, by app and 
then prompt the user to find out whether they want this turning on or off when 
the app is installed?  This would keep the default as switched off, but allow 
it to be turned on, if desired - esp as the tweak app shows that it's possible 
to set up by app.

Please note that the parallel with iOS isn't meant to troll, or be deliberately 
contentious.  I mean this feedback in a constructive way and hope to be able to 
give a user's perspective that will hopefully help to improve Touch, which I am 
liking more and more, with every update.

 Surly reserving the
 right, should be an informed user decision.  Could we not
 make it easier to choose how we want to run our phones?
 
 Nokia when they launched
 the N9, has a locked down linux distro, but once enabling
 the developer mode it give you the freedom to do with the
 phones as we pleased.
 
 Could we not adopt some similar approach
 for 0% resources if you choose a different profile your
 applications get different resource available to them,
 believe me the terminal on the ubuntu touch is useless, you
 cannot do a trace or a ping and switch to a browser without
 is suspending or your ssh session timing out.  
 
 Surly it would be easier
 now, rather than later to build some kind of multitasking
 group, that apps a user does not want to switched to 0%
 resources can be added to or agreed with so that the app can
 continue to run in the background.

[Ubuntu-phone] Adding Non-"Language" Keyboard

[Phil]

I was wanting to add a more techie keyboard layout to my phone, esp making keys 
like /, |, *, ", etc accessible from the front keyboard layout, rather than 
having to hit the symbol key (_and_ shift for " - I don't know why that is 
hidden away back there, but anyway), primarily for when I'm SSHed onto my 
server.  Can I install my own custom keyboard layout just on my phone?  Also, 
once I had got it refined, I was thinking of making it available to everyone 
(or this may be the only way I can add a new version) - I found this article 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KeyboardLayouts but it refers to adding new language 
layouts, would non-language branch merges be accepted, or would they have to 
have a valid language code? If the former, what code should I use in the name?  
Would "tech" be accepted (to definitely avoid any conflicts) or does it have to 
be 2 character?

Cheers
Phil

Sorry for being stupid, but I can't find where to set custom tones.  I can see 
all the installed tones, but not where to set a custom one? I'm on Mako R23, 
which is, AFAIK, OTA6.

 Also, make sure the child
 scopes you're interested in are actually 
 enabled via Today's scope settings page.
 
 One a side note, scopes
 machinery can deal with misbehaving child scopes 
 during aggregation (e.g. if a child scopes
 times out or crashes) -- if 
 something goes
 wrong, the aggreagtor scope code would be first to check.

I'll check it later when I do the update, but I noticed that I didn't have

then remedied this - have you checked to see if the news scope hasn't been

 Hello everyone,
 
 Landings slowly move forward. Today we also decided to do an
 OTA-5

 in telephony

 the mako

 tomorrow morning.
 We apologize the inconvenience!
 
 There also might be a slight change in the release process

 release
 cadence we decided on.

I'm also affected by this - not sure if it's related to the original bug or a 
completely new issue.  I get reception bars and, unlike the original bug, my 
network name displays in the top menu, but I don't get any call or SMS 
connectivity until I connect to either a wireless network or unless I enable 
mobile data.

[Ubuntu-phone] Mako Boots To Blank Screen After OTA-4

[Phil]

I got the OTA-4 (I should be on Mako/stable, IIRC) which installed and seemed 
to restart OK on my Nexus 4, and I was looking at putting my ssh scripts on 
there.  I created a bin directory in my home path and added
PATH=$PATH:~/bin
to my .pam_environment file, but after this didn't seem to include it in the 
path I thought I'd reboot as I believe that change won't kick in until I next 
log in.  However, when I restarted, I got the rotating Ubuntu logo then the 
screen just went black. Pressing the power button seemed to back-light the 
blank screen, to a slightly lighter shade of black, but then nothing else 
happens.  Forcing a power-off and then restarting does the same.  I remembered 
something about the app-armour config needing to be rebuilt, so left it for 
about 20 mins (though I was sure this would have been done during the upgrade) 
but it was still the same.
I then booted into recovery mode and wiped the cache partition, but this still 
didn't work.
Next I tried re-running ubuntu-device-flash, this seemed to detect the phone 
OK, but the main part of the image push seems to fail:-
11.86 MB / 297.83 MB [>_] 3.98 % 3.95 MB/s 
1m12s2015/06/19 01:38:54 error pushing: 

I've tried another cache wipe but that push still fails.  Ideally, I'd like to 
avoid wiping my existing home contents - anything I can try (or can I at least 
extract my home contents before trying the factory reset from the recovery 
partition).
Cheers
MH

 Hello everyone,
 
 Today we released the community image-based OTA-4 for all
 supported
 devices [1] to the stable channel. Mako users on the
 ubuntu-touch/stable/ubuntu should be able to upgrade since a
 while now.
 
 In overall it looks like the OTA-4 didn't introduce any new
 blocking
 issues. All those reported (like the alarm regression etc.)
 we will try
 to target for the OTA-5. We will also add the new keyboard
 layouts to
 the seeds too.
 
 Also, regarding yesterday's 'strange' rc-proposed image.
 Some people
 were surprised that suddenly one of the hand-built images
 there didn't
 have the full-shell rotation feature. That was a one-off
 special build
 we had to make based off a snapshot - generally it is not
 recommended
 using the *-proposed channels for normal every-day usage as
 things like
 this can happen without any notice. We do not guarantee
 anything in
 these channels.
 
 Last bit: tomorrow no landing e-mail as well, I'll be away
 until Monday
 - back with you then.

I assume that you mean the section "it might take a while to download and 
therefore to appear as available for installation", yes?  I was wondering how 
long "a while" might be - I'm assuming this could be a day or so, rather than a 
number of hours?

Thanks, I could have sworn it was something more complex than that, or

[Ubuntu-phone] Restarting Unity

[Phil]

I'm sure that, recently, someone posted a shell command to restart the Unity UI 
if it goes a bit wobbly.  I've spent ages looking through the archives and my 
old messages, but I can't find it.  Can anyone shed any light on this, please - 
I'm sure it was quite straightforward: either a "service" command or something 
with /usr/bin/unity8-dash .

Cheers

[Ubuntu-phone] URL Dispatcher

[Phil]

When does the URL dispatcher get invoked?  I've noticed that from the Twitter 
app, for example, as the links go through the t.co domain that it opens them up 
in the browser, even if it's ultimately linking to the Twitter site (if linking 
to another tweet).  To play with how this is routed, I've created a web app 
that handles the t.co domain.  In there I added a file tco.dispatcher 
containing:-

[
{
"protocol": "http",
"domain-suffix": "t.co"
},
{
"protocol": "https",
"domain-suffix": "t.co"
}
]

but following links from the Twitter app still goes to the browser app, rather 
than to my one.  Do I need to do anything else in the TCO app to get this 
registered, or would pressing the link from the Twitter webapp just not invoke 
this URL hook, even if this app is registering it successfully?

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] call history && DTMF logging

[Phil]

Is that a once-only toggle to enable outgoing SSH, or once per usage?  This is 
a really important issue for me as I use SSH from my current phone (N900 with 
Maemo) several times a day practically every day, so to have to enable it each 
time is a deal-breaker.  I really like Ubuntu Phone and am about to move my 
main SIM over to my Nexus 4 that runs it, but if this is coming in then I'll 
have to look at another OS.

If it's a simple, one-off switch, then that's fine and I have no problem with 
it.

Cheers
Phil

 does that apply if the system has no lock

 must admit i
 haven't run a password/pin less phone to see how sudo
 or
 the terminal behave in that scenario in a

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] [BQ] keyboard doesn't show up

[Phil]

I've created a set of keyboard shortcuts to show the status, grab the debug 
info (if desired) and restart the keyboard daemon from the command line.  
Hopefully, if you are having problems and can't get the regular keyboard up, 
these should still work in the shell

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mad-halfling/phone-keyboard-debug/layout/view/head:/PhoneKeyboardDebug.json

Copy it into .config/com.ubuntu.terminal/Layouts/ and it should appear on your 
shortcuts list

 Hi Alberto,
 
  Thanks for letting us know, there's a couple of things you

 help:
 
  1) Run "status maliit-server"
 
  And let us know what the output is
 
  2) Run "system-image-cli --info"
 
  And paste the output
 
  3) See if there's a file in /var/crash called
 "_usr_bin_maliit-server.32011.crash" (the number may
 differ), if there
 is could you send it to me?
 
  To restart the keyboard manually from the command line you
 can run
 "restart maliit-server".
 
 Thanks!
  Mike.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Landing team 16.04.15

[Phil]

Had a bit of an odd one after the update - I received an SMS but the phone just 
vibrated and didn't play the alert sound.  Looking at the sound settings in the 
top menu I noticed the usual sound item was labelled "Indicator Sound" and was 
blank.  A restart fixed this.  I minor problem, but I thought I'd mention it.  
I'm on Mako 14.10 R18.

 Hello everyone,
 
 As already announced today we have released OTA-3! It's
 still in the
 phased upgrade phase but in less than 18 hours the phasing
 should be
 complete and the new release should be available to all
 users. So far
 nothing critical has been reported by any of the users that
 got the upgrade.
 
 We also partially triaged the reason for bug LP: #1444347
 [1]. It seems
 that there is a rare bug in the system-image server during
 delta
 generation between images related to certain cases when
 hard-links are
 involved. It's being looked into by Foundations and should
 be resolved
 soon - we'll keep everyone up-to-date on that. Before
 publishing OTA-3
 we have double-confirmed that this case does not apply to
 this image.
 
 There will be also a separate announcement regarding new CI
 Train
 landing procedures related to the vivid final freeze later.
 
 From other interesting news: we are once again re-asserting
 the idea of
 re-adding ubuntu-calendar-app to the images by default. The
 latest
 version got already tested by QA and currently failed, but
 once the
 noticed issues are resolved we'll re-try the inclusion.
 
 Final news: there will sadly be no landing e-mail tomorrow
 as I will be
 traveling home for almost the whole day. I'll be back in my
 usual
 timezone on Monday. Besides that I'll also be attending an
 open source
 conference in Poland this Sunday - the DWO'15 - so I'll be
 around in
 person case you have any questions regarding the touch
 release processes.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] OTA UPADTE

[Phil]

All seems to have gone OK on the Nexus 4, too, with one possible exception - 
GPS.  I don't use it a lot, so it could have been an unusually good lock last 
time, but this time the GPS seems to be really flaky.  Last time I tried it, 
I'm sure that the GPS got a lock within a minute or two, certainly within 5, 
but this time it took ages.  I had to leave it on a windowsill for ages, and 
then the previous lock (in Sensor Status) was listed as being an hour ago.

Typically, as I'm typing this I now get a lock, with the Sensor Status app 
showing my correct location, but I'm getting "geolocation failed" on the OSM 
Maps Touch and a similar error from Google maps.
The Nearby scope seems to show where I am.

And now, about another 5 mins later after checking stuff whilst composing this 
e-mail, the maps seem to pick up the location OK.  Has anyone else has any GPS 
problems on a Nexus 4, or is this possibly just GPS being a bit flaky, as it 
can sometimes be?  I'll monitor it and try it tomorrow.

I didn't get any of the apps disappearing, as Wayne did.

Phil

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Scopes default store behaviour

[Phil]

As a longer term goal, I'd agree with this.  I'm thinking of writing an app and 
a scope for BoardgameGeek.  I would think that some people would more want the 
app if they are heavier BGG users, and others the scope if they are more casual 
users who want to quickly search for a game, so from my point of view I'd want 
to have it listed as both.  Currently I think my best options is to have 
BoardgameGeek, an app, and BoardgameGeek Search, as scope, as seperate packages 
so they remain as discrete, searchable entities.  I understand that this may 
not be easily done in the short-term, but I think its value should at least be 
discussed for inclusion in the future roadmap.

Cheers

Phil

 I think the store should indicate (maybe with
 icons in the listing) 
 whether a click
 package provides an app or a scope.  For example, 
 Telegram seems to be a perfectly symbiotic
 pair, but I really would have 
 appreciated
 knowing that there was a scope beforehand.
 
 In addition, there are a large
 number of completely worthless webapps 
 and
 there are sure to be an equally dubious number of RSS scopes
 in the 
 near future.  It'd be nice to
 see when an official app came with a scope 
 so that I could look into curating any
 standalone unofficial scopes that 
 were
 locally installed.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Scopes default store behaviour

[Phil]

I'd definitely second that suggestion - I'm curently (when I manage to make the 
time) going to write a scope that will launch into a wrapped web app, and the 
scope is definitely the primary part of the pair.

 The way we handle scopes in this respect but
 also the prominence in the
 shell is
 something we're currently re-evaluating so your feedback
 is
 very helpful. However, for time being,
 everything in you see in launcher
 or in app
 scope is really just apps. The equivalent for scopes is
 "Manage" dash view that you get by
 bottom up swipe in dash.

[Ubuntu-phone] Click Package Name

[Phil]

Can I please check that I've packaged up my app correctly?  I created a 
"full-fat" Twitter app called "Fatter" (no, probably not the best name, but 
it's Fat-Twitter), which accesses the Twitter site with a desktop(/non-mobile) 
user agent so I can access list maintenance, etc.  In my manifest.json, under 
the name, I put (as I believe I was instructed to on here) I put 
"fatter.mad-halfling", my Ubuntu dev portal name being "Mad-Halfling".  I 
noticed in my .cache directory, on the phone, some of my old test app have left 
entries have sub-directories called
com.ubuntu.developer.mad-halfling.
as do some apps created by other devs, e.g.
com.ubuntu.developer.danielholm.freeciv
but for my published app it's
fatter.mad-halfling

Have I published/named this correctly, as I would have thought it would have 
the FQDN of the app in reverse form, rather than just this shortened form?
Cheers

[Ubuntu-phone] New Click Package Creation Parameters

[Phil]

Looking to create a scope that I'll package up and submit to the store, so I 
want to check I'm setting up the package parameters correctly, as they've 
changed.

On the tutorial page 
https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/scopes/tutorials/scope-development-procedures/ 
it lists Domain but on the new wizard this is listed as Nickname with the 
default content of "username".  Do I need to enter my dev FQDN in here - 
com.ubuntu.developer.mad-halfling - or should this just be my username - 
mad-halfling - in here, with the rest of the domain name being added during the 
packaging process?  As an aside, just wondering if that screenshot should be 
updated to reflect the new label, along with an example if it's no longer the 
FQDN that's needed.

[Ubuntu-phone] Making A WebApp Container Appearance Visually Distinct

[Phil]

Is it possible to make either webapp's container, or its contents, more 
visually distinct - either by adding in a title bar, or 
modifying/adding-to/overriding the site's css?  What I am trying to do is make 
a second twitter wrapper, so I can look at and update two accounts 
side-by-side, so I want them to ideally be visually distinct from one-another 
so I don't update content to the wrong one.

I've created a second wrapper app, and that works fine with the twitter icon 
coloured red, instead of blue, so I can see which one I'm switching to ok from 
the launcher, but once I'm in one, or go to the app-switcher-mode, there's no 
indication which one is which.  I was thinking of some sort of app title, 
adding a border to the app, or possibly even adding CSS (I'll come to that in a 
minute) to change the generated content.

I notice that in the core Twitter app there's a Twitter.user.js file, so out of 
optimisim I added in a .user.css containing
body { font-size: 200%; }
but as the .js file more communicates with the OS, I didn't expect this to work.

I've looked at the bits on 
https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/web/ubuntu-webapps-guide/ and watched the 
first, webapp dev, part of the tutorial vid, but I can't find anything on this. 
 Am I missing something obvious (is there some more detailed documentation I've 
missed) or can this not currently be done?


Just on this subject, I assume that --enable-addressbar is 
implied-as-being/effectively set when --enable-back-forward is set, yes?

Thanks

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Problem Setting Up SDK - Creating Click Package

[Phil]

Marvellous, thanks, that helped sort out my problem.  I didn't have the PPA 
installed - as Niklas Wenzel mentioned, on the install page it said it was in 
the repository, so being a good lad I followed the instructions and didn't add 
the PPA - I see the site has been updated to instruct always adding the PPA, 
now.  I also had all the kits installed and included, but I also had the 
desktop kit included so I could test it locally, and it was this that seemed to 
cause the problem in the 14.10 repo version. Removing it then alllowed me to 
package it. However I then got an out-of-date dev version, and then adding in 
the PPA and updating, then fixed this.  The package option does seem to work in 
the lastest version with the desktop kit included, but if anyone else has a 
similar problem (and finds this in the archives), then try removing the desktop 
(localPC) kit (however, as I mentioned, in the latest version this does seem to 
work, now) when you package.

Anyway, I now have my app installed on my phone - it's only a rubbish wrapper 
of the Mozilla website, but now I can get working on something more useful.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated
Phil

 Hi Phil,
 
 first thing to check: Do you
 have the UbuntuSDK ppa enabled? Thats the 
 main channel to always get the most recent
 version
 of the SDK:
 
 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa
 && sudo apt-get update 
 &&
 sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get install
 ubuntu-sdk
 
 The
 "command failed" message comes probably from the
 fact that the 
 click-review tool returns a
 error code because of the warning,
 that does
 not mean that there was no click package created. The click
 
 package is put always in the builddirectory
 of the active
 buildconfiguration. We are
 about to release a update to the publish tab 
 that should not show that anymore.
 
 If only the "validate
 existing click package" is enabled it means that 
 you currently have a Kit selected or project
 loaded that can not
 be used for click
 packaging. You need to use a Ubuntu-SDK Kit (can be 
 created in Tools->Options->Ubuntu->
 create chroot or alternatively on
 the
 devices page if you have a device/emulator attached).
 
 Also if you are on IRC, ping
 me there my nick there is zbenjamin on 
 channel #ubuntu-app-devel, #ubuntu-touch,
 #ubuntu-devel (freenode).
 
 Cheers,
 
 Benjamin

[Ubuntu-phone] Problem Setting Up SDK - Creating Click Package

[Phil]

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I've installed (and purged then 
reinstalled) the SDK with a view to creating some apps, but I've hit a problem 
at the simplest level.  I've created a simple web app to test which simply 
loads up the Mozilla site, but I can't create a test Click package.  I have the 
same problem as this question 
http://askubuntu.com/questions/548801/ubuntu-sdk-cannot-create-click-package-and-cannot-create-emulator
 - note that the screenshot showing the click package creation on there doesn't

and only the "Validate existing Click package" is enabled, the create and

Additionally, I did manage to get it running one my phone when I connected it 
via USB, but after trying to purge it and removing the .config/QtProject and 
.config/ubuntu-sdk directories I no longer seem to be able to do this.

Am I missing a package or something obvious?

Thanks - Phil

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Best Way Of Reloading A Screwed System

[Phil]

Yup, that sorted it, thanks a lot - I can't believe I didn't check the options 
and do that myself, I'm not normally that much of a giblet-head (in my defence, 
I've got a stinking cold and my head has been feeling like it's full of cotton 
wool, these last few days)

I very much appreciate your prompt help, now I've got a happy system I can 
start giving it a good poke and start filing bugs and issues
Cheers
Phil

 I've noticed that when the auto detect fails in the recovery
 console, 
 supplying -d  can enable further progress. (in
 your case, 
 probably -d mako)

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Best Way Of Reloading A Screwed System

[Phil]

Hmmm, don't seem to be able to use phablet-flash to do this.  In the recovery 
console adb devices detects it, but

sudo phablet-flash ubuntu-system

just gives

INFO:phablet-flash:Device detected as /system/bin/sh: getprop: not found
ERROR:phablet-flash:Unsupported device, autodetect fails device

Do I need to use adb push up to /sdcard/autodeploy.zip when in recovery console 
to be able to load up the ubuntu-system (RO, OTA updates enabled, yes?) image 
up to the phone or is there a way of using phablet-flash to do this?  If I have 
to adb push it up, is that the saucy-preinstalled-system-armel+mako.img image, 
or should I still be using the saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip file?

Cheers
Phil

 I don't see why it would be a problem. When you install
 ubuntu-system,
 it backs up the home folder, wipes the phone, installs a
 clean image,
 and then restores the backup.
 
 OTA updates should work then. If you need to make it
 writeable, there's
 a file you can create to make the system writeable, though
 it's
 considered experimental or something. Can't remember the
 file, it's been
 mentioned on the list a few times though, just search for
 it.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Best Way Of Reloading A Screwed System

[Phil]

Do you do that on the initial installation, or after doing the phablet-flash 
cdimage-touch?  As I understand it, it should be done initially and should be a 
full install of the RO image, as the cdimage-touch is the RW version, if you 
need to poke around with the guts of the system for dev work, BUT I saw 
somewhere online where someone had done first the cdimage-touch install, then 
the ubuntu-system image, one after the other, as if the latter were an upgrade 
or patch to the former?  I suspect that what they actually did was flash with 
one image, then overwrite it with another.  This then begs the question - if 
they are the two different version that I suspect they are, which one does the 
manual process install - checking the wiki again, I think it's the cdimage, 
which explains why the OTA didn't work - am I correct?  So, this returns to my 
original issue, am I ok to try to phablet the ubuntu-system image onto my phone 
in the state in which it is in?  And
 if, as Fabian said, the phablet doesn't work with the system in this state, is 
there a way in which I can get the ubuntu-system image onto my system so I can 
then install updates, rather than reinstalling for the latest version?

Cheers
Phil

 Hi 
 Before using the OTA update you have to do
 'phablet-flash ubuntu-system', as far as I
 understand

 Hello,
 
 
 
 the OTA update never worked for me so far, so I always did
 "phablet-flash cdimage-touch" instead. But
 strangely I get plenty of updated packages on "apt-get
 upgrade" immediately after upgrading anyway.
 
 
 
 
 When I first screwed my device I managed to recover it with
 the manual installation routine described in the wiki.
 phablet-flash refused to work in that state, but at least it
 didn't make things worse. YMMV, so if you want to be
 sure, wait for the pros to answer ;). I'm just a
 beginner on these matters.

 Fabian

[Ubuntu-phone] Best Way Of Reloading A Screwed System

Hello good folks, I'm wondering if I could please get some help.  I have a 
Nexus 4 that I tried to load up with Touch, I had some problems using 
phablet-flash with cdimage-touch and ubuntu-system so I ended up following the
