[03:36] <m_jimmer> Hi there I am creating a application  and nothing is showing up after compile All I have is a mainview and a loader under it that has a page that loads . Any suggestions ?
[03:38] <m_jimmer> Here is the code http://pastebin.com/nMFVWQsA
[03:41] <m_jimmer> my main.cpp  http://pastebin.com/mzdHfMBd
[03:41] <m_jimmer> I snipped some of the imports but nothing major
[03:42] <m_jimmer> anyways the loader says that everything is loaded up alright . but no window shows up at all.
[03:54] <m_jimmer> If I build the application with out Ubuntu-Componets with my Downloaded Qt kit it shows up and works ... not sure what is going on here.

[04:30] <m_jimmer> I have to reboot brb
[05:19] <m_jimmer> Ok I think I figured it out.  It s not linking to some internal libs.  Tim to debug why.
[05:22] <m_jimmer> what is odd is that it builds with no errors and says that it is linked.  But when I run ldd the two internals are not found.  Super odd
[06:19] <m_jimmer> Note:  Ubuntu applicaitons must use QQuickView the QQmlApplicaiton can not render on its own.  That must be a bug.
[07:42] <dholbach> good morning
[07:48] <m_jimmer> good morning dholbach
[07:48] <dholbach> hi m_jimmer
[07:52] <m_jimmer> Hey dholbach .  Hope that you are doing wonderful . I am doing Ok .  deving up a application. Trying to figure out how I can make it so close to Qt default components and also close to Ubuntu ones.
[07:53] <dholbach> I'm doing well, thanks :-)
[07:53] <dholbach> all the best with your app!
[07:53] <m_jimmer> thanks :)
[08:06] <m_jimmer> does anyone know about the Dialogs on the phone ?  Like when they pop are they always center in ?  Or do I need to do math for x and y ?

[09:42] <JamesTait> Good morning all!  Happy Monday, and happy Freedom Day! 😃
[09:49] <m_jimmer> So I am making a login thingy at the moment and was wondering whta you all thought was a good passwd.   I was thinking of having something like  "extremely poor,poor ,Ok, good,Great"   I am making this QRegEx and just whanted to see whta you all thought
[09:52] <m_jimmer> Like it is on a scale of 0 -- 100 . Or well if it goes above 100 then it is still 100

[10:09] <ahoneybun> hola people I'm having issues with Tabs

[10:22] <mivoligo> JMulholland: Hi! I managed to create other numbers based on those Ubuntu CD covers, so you don't have to find them for me :)
[10:34] <mivoligo> ahoneybun: what kind of problem?
[10:39] <ahoneybun> mivoligo, I can't get my About.qml page to load which causes the whole app not to start in the SDK
[10:40] <ahoneybun> it is the 4th Tab in that pastebin
[10:40] <mivoligo> what error you get?
[10:41] <ahoneybun> Type About Unavailable
[10:41] <ahoneybun> I updated all the files to Ubuntu.Components to 1.3 from 1.1 I think
[10:41] <ahoneybun> but the other Tabs don't give that error
[10:41] <mivoligo> can we see rest of the code?
[10:42] <ahoneybun> I posted the main.qml
[10:42] <ahoneybun> want the About.qml?
[10:42] <mivoligo> yes, please :)
[10:42] <ahoneybun> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14848811/
[10:43] <ahoneybun> I'm also getting this:  About.qml:25 ListItem.Header - ListItem is not a namespace
[10:43] <ahoneybun> not sure why
[10:43] <ahoneybun> I removed all the ListItems and still it is there
[10:43] <mivoligo> you have "import Ubuntu.Components.ListItems 1.3 as ListItem"
[10:44] <ahoneybun> yes?
[10:44] <mivoligo> 3rd line
[10:44] <ahoneybun> what's wrong with it?
[10:45] <mivoligo> there's no version 1.3 AFAIK
[10:45] <ahoneybun> mm
[10:45] <mivoligo> and it's not needed really :)
[10:45] <ahoneybun> https://developer.ubuntu.com/api/apps/qml/sdk-15.04.1/Ubuntu.Components.ListItems.Standard/
[10:45] <ahoneybun> I remove it and the same thing
[10:46] <ahoneybun> the error talks about a line that is not even there anymore
[10:49] <mivoligo> hmmm... that's strange, how do you run it?
[10:49] <ahoneybun> from the SDK?
[10:49] <mivoligo> to the phone?
[10:49] <ahoneybun> no
[10:49] <ahoneybun> I can't even get it to run on the desktop
[10:50] <ahoneybun> I've added back the Header and Standard to the same error
[10:50] <ahoneybun> hell I've deleted the file and still get it
[10:50] <mivoligo> maybe it runs the same build every time
[10:50] <ahoneybun> maybe
[10:50] <m_jimmer> ahoneybun,  go to your qt install dir see it is is there. read the qmldir file if you have wrong version
[10:51] <ahoneybun> qt install dir?
[10:51] <m_jimmer> like /usr/lib/x86_64/qt5/qml
[10:51] <m_jimmer> like /usr/lib/x86_64/qt5/qml/Ubuntu/Components/ListItems
[10:51] <m_jimmer> ahoneybun,  you can find that out with qmake -query
[10:52] <ahoneybun> but I'm not using qmake
[10:52] <m_jimmer> there is  a var call QT_INSTALL_QML
[10:52] <m_jimmer> that does not matter
[10:52] <ahoneybun> I have the dir x86_64-linux-gnu
[10:52] <m_jimmer> qmake is also a command line tool and the command "qmake -query" is just that
[10:53] <ahoneybun> no Ubuntu folder
[10:53] <m_jimmer> what does "qmake -query | grep QT_INSTALL_QML"
[10:53] <m_jimmer> say
[10:53] <ahoneybun> QT_INSTALL_QML:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml
[10:54] <m_jimmer> what is under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml/Ubuntu ?
[10:54] <m_jimmer> ahoneybun,  you just replace the dots in your import with / : )
[10:55] <ahoneybun> I found the qmldir
[10:55] <ahoneybun> ???
[10:55] <ahoneybun> I have 1.3
[10:55] <m_jimmer> : )  what is the error that you are getting on import ?
[10:56] <m_jimmer> maybe you are using wrong kit ?
[10:56] <ahoneybun> it is the desktop
[10:56] <m_jimmer> or lib is not so good ? there are ways to test that also.
[10:56]  * ahoneybun throws the SDK out the window
[10:57]  * ahoneybun also needs more coffee
[10:57] <ahoneybun> file:///home/aaron/Projects/2.0/.ubuntu-sdk-deploy/main.qml:57 Type About unavailable
[10:57] <ahoneybun> file:///home/aaron/Projects/2.0/.ubuntu-sdk-deploy/components/About.qml:25 ListItem.Header - ListItem is not a namespace
[10:57] <ahoneybun> those are my 2 errors
[10:58] <m_jimmer> ahoneybun,  are you sure that the "namespace"
[10:58] <m_jimmer> there it is
[10:58] <m_jimmer> call it something else lol
[10:58] <ahoneybun> what?
[10:58] <m_jimmer> import Ubuntu.Components.ListItems 1.3 as IAmAwesome
[10:58] <ahoneybun> that is what the Docs say
[10:58] <m_jimmer> bad docs lol
[10:58] <ahoneybun> ...
[10:58] <ahoneybun> same thing
[10:59] <m_jimmer> you have to also change About.qml:25 ListItem.Header - ListItem is not a namespace
[10:59] <ahoneybun> and this is why you should not try to fork something
[10:59] <m_jimmer> to IAmAwesome.Header
[10:59] <ahoneybun> ................................
[11:00] <ahoneybun> same error
[11:00] <ahoneybun> same no matter what
[11:00] <ahoneybun> so I have 2 Run things
[11:00] <ahoneybun> UbuntuBegginer and QML Scene
[11:01] <m_jimmer> Now that is odd.  what is     ls /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml/Ubuntu/Components/ListItems
[11:02] <ahoneybun> mm
[11:02] <ahoneybun> so it was some old build I think
[11:02] <m_jimmer> ;)
[11:03] <ahoneybun> mm
[11:03] <ahoneybun> so Tabs are handled differently now
[11:03] <ahoneybun> ???
[11:03] <ahoneybun> my tabs are not working now
[11:03] <m_jimmer> you could also hard run qmlscene by its full path to make sure.  and Run ldd against th libs to make sure that there is missing libs .
[11:04] <m_jimmer> ahoneybun, IDK I just started with Ubuntu sdk last night.  I just know Qt Real well
[11:04] <ahoneybun> main.qml
[11:04] <ahoneybun> opps
[11:04] <ahoneybun> I'm really crap at it
[11:04] <ahoneybun> my app was last updated 7 months ago
[11:05] <ahoneybun> so lots of changes
[11:05] <m_jimmer> I gave up on the Ubuntu ui toolkit and made my own because Qml profiler said there was way to may loaders and taking to long for things to load
[11:05] <ahoneybun> mm
[11:05] <ahoneybun> Loaders?
[11:05] <ahoneybun> mm
[11:05] <m_jimmer> but that is just me.  I have nothing against it
[11:05] <ahoneybun> https://developer.ubuntu.com/api/apps/qml/sdk-15.04.1/Ubuntu.Components.Tabs/
[11:05] <m_jimmer> not bashing anything here.
[11:05] <ahoneybun>   source: (tabs.selectedTab === externalTab) ? Qt.resolvedUrl("MyCustomPage.qml") : ""
[11:05] <ahoneybun> I'm wondering if I have to do this now
[11:06] <ahoneybun> this seems to now work anymore: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14848877/
[11:06] <m_jimmer> ahoneybun,  there is nothing wrong with one or two loaders that you use as a Singleton object it is when you haev 10 of them running
[11:07] <ahoneybun> don't make my head hurt anymore dude lol I still have to go to work yet
[11:07] <ahoneybun> I think I might go back to GTA5
[11:07] <ahoneybun> lol
[11:07] <m_jimmer> what is GTA5 ?
[11:08]  * m_jimmer googles sorry 
[11:08] <ahoneybun> video game?
[11:08] <m_jimmer> Yeah I jsut seen that
[11:08] <m_jimmer> just *
[11:09] <m_jimmer> I am writing encryotion lib and getting caught in a "what comes first the chicken or the egg "  Thingy
[11:09] <m_jimmer> but it is fun :)
[11:10] <ahoneybun> \o/
[11:10] <ahoneybun> it worked
[11:10] <m_jimmer> awesome :)
[11:10] <ahoneybun> well
[11:10] <m_jimmer> good job.
[11:10] <ahoneybun> the app started
[11:11] <ahoneybun> just missing one tab
[11:11] <ahoneybun> funny
[11:11] <ahoneybun> the one I thought would work
[11:17] <ahoneybun> and it's back up
[11:17] <ahoneybun> everything is working
[11:27] <ahoneybun> always on the first launch the Label is flowing into the Tabs

[18:01] <popey> balloons, so, what needs doing to un-dead the jenkins zombies? https://core-apps-jenkins.ubuntu.com/ ?
[18:05] <balloons> popey, aye.. Weird stuff indeed
[18:05] <balloons> popey, it's the ole java.io.IOException: No space left on device
[18:10] <balloons> popey, so I'll reduce the number of builds to keep on everything, and ask IS to clear up some space on the node
[18:10] <popey> how did you know it's disk space, where'd you see that?
[18:10] <popey> oh, i see, click dead :)
[18:11] <balloons> https://core-apps-jenkins.ubuntu.com/computer/ shows status, and yea :-)
[19:56] <popey> balloons, do i see things getting processed now?
[19:56] <popey> balloons, do i need to manually chug through each merge and re-approve them?
[20:08] <ahoneybun> anyone having Labels over flow to the top Tab?
[20:08] <ahoneybun> but only on the device not in the Local build
[20:19] <ahoneybun> mm the ActionBar does not work right with Tabs I see
[20:35] <balloons> popey, if things got unapproved, yes. But they shouldn't have been toggle off -- they never ran
[20:36] <popey> e.g. https://code.launchpad.net/~renatofilho/ubuntu-calendar-app/sdk-1-3/+merge/284454
[20:36] <popey> approved, not merged
[20:36] <popey> gah, conflicts
[20:37] <popey> renatu, seen those conflicts on your calendar merges?
[21:34] <balloons> Happy Birthday DanChapman. In a few hours anyway. Nonetheless, enjoy yourself!
[21:37] <ahoneybun> ahayzen, around?
[21:37] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, o/
[21:37] <ahoneybun> have you had problems with Labels overflowing into Tabs?
[21:38] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, define overflowing?
[21:38] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, and what are they inside?
[21:38] <ahoneybun> the Tab
[21:38] <ahoneybun> let me get a ss
[21:39] <ahoneybun> http://imgur.com/tqpuKVT
[21:39] <ahoneybun> but once you switch Tabs it is fine
[21:39] <ahoneybun> just on first launch
[21:40] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, hmm, what is the content inside the tab inside? like a Page ? or something
[21:41] <ahayzen> and is it flickable ?
[21:41] <ahoneybun> well each tab is in it's own qml file
[21:41] <ahoneybun> yea
[21:41] <ahoneybun> it does not happen on the desktop though
[21:41] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, maybe the new sdk version has made it worse
[21:41] <ahoneybun> mm maybe
[21:41] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, does it happen on all the tabs?
[21:41] <ahoneybun> I mean I could just take the Label off
[21:42] <ahoneybun> well I have a Label on another tab but it renders it fine
[21:42] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, compare the differences :-)
[21:42] <ahoneybun> and when I switch back to the home tab it looks fine
[21:42] <ahoneybun> I have, I've copied it all
[21:42] <ahayzen> heh
[21:42] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, can you pastebin the tab code for the one that is bad?
[21:44] <ahoneybun> remember it works fine once you switch to a different tab and back
[21:44] <ahoneybun> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14852592/
[21:44] <ahoneybun> I do need to file a bug against the lock screen too
[21:44] <ahoneybun> since Dec really
[21:45] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, how is the tab part defined in the other file ?
[21:45] <ahoneybun> I really want to use actions on the listitems to have a button to click to open the links too but that is another story lol
[21:45] <ahoneybun> in the main.qml ?
[21:45] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, yeah that one
[21:45] <ahoneybun> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14848877/
[21:46] <m_jimmer> what is the i18n in C++ so I can translate that also ?
[21:46] <m_jimmer> thanks
[21:46] <m_jimmer> example
[21:47] <m_jimmer> QString fooBar = QString("Some Random String that says %1").arg("Hello");            tr(fooBar);
[21:47] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, maybe the Column needs to be anchored to the flickable or needs a height set? i'd have to play about with it to figure it out
[21:48] <ahoneybun> looking at that SS I see that it says About yet it should say Home
[21:48] <ahoneybun> mm
[21:52] <dobey> m_jimmer: use standard gettext in C++
[21:52] <m_jimmer> dobey,  not sure what you mean.  Here is a function  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14852628/
[21:53] <dobey> m_jimmer: so you'd just do QString(_("Foo bar %1")).arg("Hello") for example, don't recall exactly which header to include that defines _ though
[21:54] <m_jimmer> ok.  there is a thing like in Qt like tr() ? but your guys translation functions ?
[21:55] <ahoneybun> ahayzen, changing the anchor margins of the flickable did something good
[21:55] <dobey> we don't generally use Qt's translations feature; we use gettext instead, as Qt's thing is specific to Qt
[21:55] <ahayzen> heh ahoneybun does it start correct when you then go to another tab and back again?
[21:55] <m_jimmer> dobey, is there a IFDEF for Ubuntu Sdk that you know of ?
[21:56] <ahoneybun> yea when I switch tabs
[21:56] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, and try on the Page putting anchors { fill: parent }
[21:56] <dobey> m_jimmer: i don't think so, no. the ui toolkit APIs are not exposed via C++
[21:56] <ahoneybun> what margins can I edit just for the top?
[21:57] <dobey> m_jimmer: you could just define all the strings in QML instead, and have the c++ set a property to fill in args as needed, and use the QML APIs for translations then
[21:57] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, topMargin ?
[21:57] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, but really it should work doing fill: parent etc... like it work for us in Music
[21:57] <ahayzen> (our tab component starts here http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~music-app-dev/music-app/trunk/view/head:/app/music-app.qml#L640 )
[21:57] <m_jimmer> Ok yeah I was thinking that I would set a global var that is if u_sdk then  blah blah blah . if not use Qt.  I am trying to make this so It is very very easy to compile against Qt with or without the SDK
[21:57] <m_jimmer> thanks dobey  ^^
[21:57] <ahoneybun> in the flickable?
[21:58] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, in the Page {} in the main.qml
[21:59] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, oh!
[21:59] <ahayzen> oh no you already do that
[22:01] <ahoneybun> atm I'm wondering why it says About rather then Home
[22:01] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, ah, magic maybe it is on the wrong tab?
[22:01] <ahoneybun> mhall119, ping
[22:02] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, try setting the currentTabIndex
[22:02] <ahoneybun> ?
[22:02] <dobey> m_jimmer: i don't know what you're writing but if you're just doiong pure Qt, then use the standard Qt translations feature I guess.
[22:02] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, for example ...  tabs.selectedTabIndex = 0
[22:03] <ahayzen> we do that on startup
[22:03] <ahoneybun> that topMargin trick lowers it on when  you switch but what ever
[22:03] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, but then does it still say the About rather than Home?
[22:03] <ahoneybun> when I switch to another tab and then Home it say Home the second time
[22:03] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, add to your Tabs {} ... Component.onCompleted: selectedTabIndex = 0
[22:04] <ahoneybun> mm that currentindex thing is losing me
[22:04] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, i think it is just showing the last one you define
[22:04] <m_jimmer> dobey,  Do you know about the confinement of a applicaiton in the sdk?  I am writing a app that is a mix between ansible tower and nagios . and was jsut thinking about sftp or scp bindings.,  That brought up the thought of do I need my own file manager to get access to upload files ect .
[22:04] <ahoneybun> all my tabs?
[22:04] <ahayzen> so Home = 0, Contribute = 1, Family = 2, About = 3 ... so they order you define them get an inex
[22:04] <ahayzen> *index
[22:05] <m_jimmer> property alais tabsChilderen :  mainTab.children
[22:05] <m_jimmer> err sorry
[22:06] <ahoneybun> mm
[22:06] <ahoneybun> not sure I'm putting them in the right place
[22:07] <ahoneybun> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14852701/
[22:07] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, no in the Tabs {} ;-)
[22:07] <ahoneybun> I did :)
[22:07] <m_jimmer> dobey,  like if I am to write a exposed QDirAbstractModel or something and then expose to Qml can I read | write to files ?
[22:08] <dobey> m_jimmer: your app can't read arbitrary files from disk.
[22:08] <m_jimmer> System wide.  Or do I need to do some tricks.  Like switching users with pam or something
[22:08] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, like this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14852714/ :-)
[22:08] <dobey> m_jimmer: you would need to use content-hub API if you to be able to read files from somewhere
[22:08] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, in the Tabs {} .. not the Tab {} ;-)
[22:08] <m_jimmer> dobey,  thanks  will look at that code.
[22:09] <m_jimmer> dobey,  what about creation of files with QFile QDir ect if I place in application dir ?
[22:10] <m_jimmer> dobey,  another reason I ask is because I have encryption lib that is needed to unlock files to log into applicaiton and want to make sure that I can run try and catch against
[22:10] <ahoneybun> nope
[22:11] <ahoneybun> damn Ubuntu.Components 1.3
[22:11] <popey> haha, i love that a youtube video showing the ubuntu phone terminal is currently at the top of /r/linux :) https://www.reddit.com/r/linux
[22:12] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, does that not even fix the wrong label?
[22:12] <m_jimmer> dobey,  or mayb I have to do something crazy like make lxc container for just this application. But then it is like getting to C groups could be real odd and time consuming
[22:12] <ahoneybun> well I had the topMargin on so idk
[22:12] <dobey> m_jimmer: you can only mess with files within the application's XDG directories
=== _salem` is now known as _salem
[22:12] <m_jimmer> Is there no way to make the file system more then read only ?
[22:13] <ahayzen> ahoneybun, anyway i've got to go, good luck :-)
[22:13] <ahoneybun> no
[22:13] <m_jimmer> like a trick
[22:13] <ahoneybun> thanks as always
[22:13] <dobey> m_jimmer: i'm not entirely sure what you're doing, but it sounds like you are making things way more complex than they should be
[22:13] <dobey> m_jimmer: there is, but it's not something that people should be doing in general
[22:13]  * ahoneybun is tempted to flash Android back
[22:13] <dobey> m_jimmer: if making the root FS read-write is a requirement of your application, you're not developing an application for the phone
[22:14] <m_jimmer> dobey,  so say that I want Download a file wih Qnetwork[Acess ,Request,Respond] and I want save to say DL folder then maybe upload to all connected nodes (servers)
[22:14] <m_jimmer> like a git repo or something that has "moduals "
[22:15] <m_jimmer> like bash and whta not that can be run with remote qprocess
[22:15] <dobey> you are making things way more complex than they probably need to be
[22:15] <m_jimmer> download file -> add to JSON or XML -> push to all servers
[22:15] <dobey> because i don't understand at all what you actually need to do, given your description of it
[22:16] <m_jimmer> dobey,  do you know what ansilbe or puppet is ?
[22:16] <m_jimmer> also nagios ?
[22:16] <dobey> like i said, you can only write data to the app's XDG dirs
[22:16] <m_jimmer> take the two and put them together that is what I am making
[22:16] <dobey> i've used puppet before, yes
[22:16] <m_jimmer> http://www.ansible.com/tower
[22:17] <m_jimmer> dobey,  so Like puppet but with pure ssh .  with timers that are used to run remote commands to check on server status
[22:17] <dobey> your app cannot run forever under confinement
[22:18] <m_jimmer> Oh no no background process are allowed ?
[22:18] <dobey> right
[22:18] <m_jimmer> I am glad we are talking aout this now
[22:18] <m_jimmer> I can not make a init script to start app on boot or systemd thingy ?
[22:18] <dobey> the app lifecycle prevents your application from processing while it is not in the foreground with the screen on
[22:18] <dobey> no
[22:19] <dobey> you can't create any apps which requires altering the root FS and put them in the store
[22:19] <m_jimmer> dobey,  even if I create a console application that say starts after gui is opened ?
[22:19] <dobey> your app must work within its own confinement, and within the application life cycle
[22:20] <m_jimmer> Ok just thinking of work arounds.  maybe I need to have server app(console in container )
[22:20] <dobey> you can personally create a chroot in the data area of your phone and run stuff in it if you want
[22:20] <m_jimmer> lxc or something on the cloud
[22:20] <dobey> but you cannot do this in a confined app from the store
[22:21] <m_jimmer> dobey,  so the applicaiton would need to get approved as something like a "Core application  "
[22:21] <m_jimmer> Some sorta special permissions via apparmor ?
[22:22] <dobey> no, i'm pretty sure we're not going to ship something by default which runs constantly in the background to poll ansible servers and run remote commands on them, on phones
[22:22] <m_jimmer> maybe I could make two app's one that sits on desktop . then other that is nothing but kinda api layer
[22:22] <dobey> you need to architect your application within the confines of the app lifecycle and the security polices enforced upon it, if you want it in the app store
[22:23] <m_jimmer> ouch. Ok let me do some more thinking abut the architect of the flow
[22:23] <m_jimmer> could use say zeroMQ to pass data or something like websockets
[22:24]  * m_jimmer brain starts wondering 
[22:24] <dobey> i don't know what your end goal is, but my suggestion would be to think of something that avoids the need for background processing
[22:26] <m_jimmer> dobey, I think that I got it. I just need to now figure out the "node scripts"   Like the modules of puppet
[22:27] <m_jimmer> like send command over websockets (binary ) to server that can download then expose to a custom api
[22:27] <m_jimmer> sorry server being someones desktop
[22:27] <m_jimmer> I wanted to avoid the whole how to depoly with out a master though ...
[22:28]  * m_jimmer does more thinking about the chicken or the egg 
[22:32] <m_jimmer> dobey,  do you know if I can use websockets or any tcp/ipc transport from phone ?
[22:33] <m_jimmer> concern is ports
[22:33] <dobey> m_jimmer: you can talk to the network yes, if your app has the "network" apparmor profile iirc; but you can't run a server on the phone in your app
[22:33] <m_jimmer> \o/
[22:34] <m_jimmer> now to zeroMq or to websocket ... that is the question :)
[22:40] <m_jimmer> Ok final Question for a while (not to great with xdg so excuse if repetitive) do I have to set my Offline storeage to my app's root dir ?  or can it be default ?
[22:41] <m_jimmer> also getting a odd error on the qqmlengine for quit :/
[22:41] <m_jimmer> Signal QQmlEngine::quit() emitted, but no receivers connected to handle it.
[22:42] <m_jimmer> I have to write hat into my main.cpp I guess.  rough
[22:51] <dobey> i don't know what that means
[22:56] <dobey> m_jimmer: sorry, i don't know what you mean by set your offline storage. but i have to go now. good luck
[22:57] <m_jimmer> thanks dobey  for all your help it has been very nice of you . But for your future you can look at the docs and find the function
[22:57] <m_jimmer> void	setOfflineStoragePath(const QString & dir)
[22:57] <m_jimmer> it is part of the QQmlEngine
[22:57] <m_jimmer> helps with things like sqlight
[22:58] <m_jimmer> and cache and what not
[23:36] <renatu> popey, I removed your branch as pre-requisite for merge. And the conflicts disappears.  :D
[23:36] <renatu> popey, did you push anything new since last week?
[23:37] <renatu> popey, this is the new MR: https://code.launchpad.net/~renatofilho/ubuntu-calendar-app/sdk-1-3/+merge/284686
[23:40] <popey> ok
