RE: UT is ram-hungry
a question: do some of you that have only morph open and it uses very much memory use uadblock ? For me (BQ Aquaris 4.5) uadblock (with all lists) added a high memory footprint to morph and webapps for me. https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1265 / https://github.com/ubports/morph-browser/issues/263
Removing the lists / turning uadblock off did not revert the effect for me, only reflashing (and then no longer use uadblock) helped. -
RE: Build docviewer with libreoffice support for xenial
Yesterday I tried the same for the amd64 clickable container (adding the dependendies manually and run in desktop mode), and got:

RE: Build docviewer with libreoffice support for xenial
Here some screenshots to the steps described in https://github.com/ubports/docviewer-app/pull/25
If you uncomment the line "#INSTALL( DIRECTORY ${UPSTREAM_LIBS_DIR}/opt/libreoffice/lib/libreoffice/ DESTINATION ${DATA_DIR}lib/${ARCH_TRIPLET}/libreoffice )" in Click.cmake, you get a click package without libreoffice support (e.g. text and pdf files work).
If you try to open an odt file, you get the message:
If you add (e.g. in a chroot environment with clickable --container-mode) libreoffice to the dependencies, and put the line " #INSTALL(DIRECTORY /usr/lib/libreoffice/ DESTINATION ${DATA_DIR}lib/${ARCH_TRIPLET}/libreoffice )" to the Click.cmake, you get an about 80MB click package.
Again opening an example odt file, you now get:
In the logviewer you see, for example:
After adding the missing dependencies, at some point it was no longer complaining, the screen looked like:
and the corresponding log:
qml: Path of the document: /media/phablet/7873-B162/Documents/example.odt

Document loaded successfully !But at that point docviewer crashed. I will not have much time currently to look into that in more detail, but at least that is where I got on Saturday...

RE: Ubuntu Touch Programming Course
@talkless In my containers I replaced all urls by http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
also the ports ones
vivid vivid-security vivid-backports vivid-updates (main / multiverse / restricted / universe) are all included there -
build oxide
I'm really new to this, so I have some questions about building oxide:
- Which branch of https://github.com/ubports/oxide/ is currently used for 15.04 stable (OTA-2) ?
- do I need to follow the build instructions here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Oxide/BuildInstructions ?
my goal would be investigating a bug by doing a modification of the oxide code, and test it on a device (Aquaris 4.5).
