@domubpkm Yeah, I know about f-call This feature should be integrated into the OS though, so that's what I'm going to do. SailfishOS's ofono fork will help a lot.

Hello. I'm interested in implementing a system-wide call/number blocking feature (re: https://github.com/ubports/dialer-app/issues/18, https://github.com/ubports/telephony-service/issues/43).

I know what I would like from it:

• contacts app integration
• call blocking
• sms blocking
• ability to see history for blocked numbers
• ability to easily block a number after the call

But I'd also like to hear what the community wants so I don't miss anything, so let me know.

@applee Darkmode is also an a11y feature, I don't use it myself because it messes with my eyes, but there are people that can't use lightmode applications. Especially true when looking at the screenshot with "For everyone" header

@yoni the UNIX thing was a joke, it refers to the way I joined a few standard commands together to get the output I needed (the ability to do so is a part of the Unix philosophy).

This is a single command, and UT doesn't have gnuplot by default, so you'd have to make your filesystem writeable. Better to use ADB from a PC.

The svg will be saved in your current directory (on the PC if using ADB).

I'm not sure if the history is persisted between reboots or what is the maximum time range you can query (0 will give you all of the data it has).

Making the chart wider will definitely help you show more data points, but I don't think it's necessary - you can experiment and see what works for you.

Also this is completely off topic, so if you have more questions please create a new one.

@bolly Yeah, mandatory "here is a list of issues that seem similar" before you are able to post.

@flohack 2 XL

@Yoni the UNIX way: qdbus + pcregrep + sort + gnuplot. The plot file:

set term svg size 1920 400
set output 'battery.svg'

set timefmt '%s'
set format x '%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S'
set xdata time

set palette model RGB maxcolors 7 defined ( 0 "#000000", 1 "#00ff00", 2 "#ff0000", 3 "#ffffff", 4 "#00ff00", 5 "#0000ff", 6 "#0000ff" )
set cbrange [0:6]

set cbtics ("unknown" 0, "charging" 1, "discharging" 2, "empty" 3, "fully charged" 4, "pending charge" 5, "pending discharge" 6)

plot '< cat -' u 1:2:3 w l lc palette z

And the command (from PC with the phone connected with ADB active):

adb shell qdbus \
  --system \
  --literal \
  org.freedesktop.UPower \
  /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_battery \
  org.freedesktop.UPower.Device.GetHistory charge 86400 10000 \
    | pcregrep -o1 -o2 -o3 --om-separator=' ' "\(udu\) (\d*?), (\d*?), (\d*?)]" \
    | sort -n \
    | gnuplot -c battery.plot

/org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_battery is the path of your main battery
86400 is the timespan to grab in seconds
10000 should be the number of points, but I guess UPower treats it as a suggestion and always outputs much less for me

In theory this can also work on the device, although you probably have to install gnuplot

The last three are working. The battery is not so good for me (latest devel):

This is without using the device and with a pretty new battery (~2 months old). The dip around 17:00 is when I searched for something in the store, although I have brightness set to 100% so that's probably why it dipped so much.

@nero355 Seeing as you only have one battery with a defined technology I'd say this will work for you (not 100% sure as the list may be changing once you unplug).

@keneda I usually just run adb shell COMMAND > ~/somefilename or adb shell COMMAND | xclip -sel clip so I have the results on my PC. If you mean the device terminal, it's the same but without adb shell of course.

@nero355 It highly depends on the batteries reported by your kernel - if you could run upower -d on your device and post the output I could tell you more (although the issue this is attempting to fix is apparently due to the newer kernels, I think the BQ E5 HD runs an older one).

@homer That should be relatively easy, depending on the features of the app. I might put it on my todo list (it's a bit long though, I still need a few apps to properly daily-drive my UBT device).

@UniSuperBox throw an AI at it, soul-crushing work is what they do best

Hello!

I created a fix for indicator-power that should make it better at recognizing the real battery. If you would like to test this and are on the devel channel, run these commands on your device:

sudo ubports-qa install indicator-power 60

and

restart indicator-power

(or reboot your device).

To test simply unplug the device, observe the battery indicator, plug it back in and check again. Longer-term testing would be good too, to check if the battery level goes down as it should.

Let me know your device, and:

• if it worked for you before and now something is wrong (no charging indicator, always empty battery, etc)
• if it didn't work before and now it works (shows charging, proper battery level)
• if nothing changed

by posting here or in the PR (https://github.com/ubports/indicator-power/pull/60)

Thanks!

Keep in mind that this can behave weirdly if it breaks, have a backup / don't do it on your daily driver unless you know how to fix a potentially broken system.

@flohack said in [Porting] Call for testers:

@klh battery indicator is fine -the problem is the middleware below. Android kernels report stupid batteries to upowerd, and from there Ubuntu Touch has approx 4 different ways to determine battery status. This work is more complicated than you would think and a systematic problem that nobody saw since in Android 5.1 and 7.1 it was quite okay ish still.

Turns out it wasn't so hard, at least for the Pixel 2 XL (hopefully for all others too, but can't say for sure since I only have this one to test): https://github.com/ubports/indicator-power/pull/60

@keneda Ah well, at least it's not phpBB And themes look pretty easy to do in it.

Does the forum use Discourse? If so stuff like making some buttons more visible can be solved in the theme, which might finally be something I can easily help with, since I'm a front-end dev by day and have experience with Discourse

@lsitongia Here is the main doc: https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/systemdev/online-accounts.html

Nextcloud QML plugin: https://github.com/ubports/account-plugins/tree/xenial/qml/nextcloud

@dobey Looks like it should be possible with AppArmorDBus?

Since each collection in the secrets service has a path (https://specifications.freedesktop.org/secret-service/latest/ch12.html) and AppArmor can be used to enable only a specific path.

Then we would get something like the Keystore APIs on iOS/Android? With a nice bonus that with a system app for keyring access you would be able to look through the saved data of all applications.

I'll try making a policy later and make a PR/MR if it works.

@007fred50 looks like all my explaining was pointless, because it doesn't work now, picSourceSingle is always undefined no matter what I try. No idea why, maybe it's not supported anymore and the docs weren't updated.

If you still need a solution ContentPeerPicker works fine:

ContentPeerPicker {
    anchors { fill: parent }
    visible: parent.visible
    showTitle: false
    contentType: ContentType.All
    handler: ContentHandler.Source

    onPeerSelected: {
        picker.activeTransfer = peer.request()
        picker.activeTransfer.stateChanged.connect(function() {
            if (picker.activeTransfer.state === ContentTransfer.Charged) {
                console.log(picker.activeTransfer.items[0].url)
                picker.activeTransfer = null
            }
        })
    }
}

You can show it in a dialog when user clicks a button.

@cibersheep That's a bummer, as a user I could expect unconfined in a terminal app, but definitely not a password manager (checked PAM too, same problem, works when unconfined).

@dobey For some reason I thought gnome-keyring used PAM for authentication, but that's completely wrong (and looking at a bug report for it makes me wonder if it should be even possible).

As for isolating them, maybe each app could request an isolated keyring just for this one app? I'd be up for trying to implement something like that, but I'd need some pointers since I just started getting into UBports and the amount of code to look though is high.

I guess the app in question will be more secure than convenient
