10:02 <popey> So, where are we? ☻
10:02 <m-b-o> we are fine, thanks! :)
10:03 <m-b-o> Code-wise the transition to geonames-ubuntu is almost done! Just some steepping stones left
10:04 <popey> ok.
10:04 <m-b-o> http://146.185.188.87/?query=Far%  doesn't work anymore
10:04 <popey> Any outstanding issues that we need to fix on our side?
10:04 * popey checks the vps
10:05 <popey> hmm, it's up
10:05 <popey> looks like sphinx died
10:05 * popey restarts
10:06 <m-b-o> and there's somewhere a comment from myself, about searching from start of the name
10:06 <m-b-o> can't find it anymore
10:07 <popey> ahh, my VPS runs out of RAM
10:07 <m-b-o> hail to browser history: https://code.launchpad.net/~twstd-dev/ubuntu-geonames/search-wildcard/+merge/234578/comments/575618
10:07 <popey> haha
10:07 <popey> \o/ added tonnes of swap
10:07 <popey> http://146.185.188.87/?query=Farnborough now works
10:08 <popey> http://146.185.188.87/?query=Far% also does
10:08 <m-b-o> cool, thanks!
10:08 <popey> I'll take a look at that merge and see if I can fiddle the code to do that
10:08 <m-b-o> http://146.185.188.87/?query=Stuttg works, http://146.185.188.87/?query=Stuttg% does not
10:08 <m-b-o> strange
10:09 <popey> thats odd
10:09 <popey> i dont know the code, would need to have a look to figure out why
10:09 <m-b-o> okay
10:11 <popey> added to my list to look at
10:11 <popey> thanks
10:11 <m-b-o> you can use https://code.launchpad.net/~martin-borho/ubuntu-weather-app/ubuntu-geonames to test, will update later to 146.185.188.87
10:12 <m-b-o> uses temporaryily http://geoname-lookup.ubuntu.com/
10:12 <m-b-o> okay, another important point:
10:12 <popey> ok
10:12 <m-b-o> the app currently can't be started from within QtCreator
10:12 <m-b-o> there are some CMAKE rules missing, I'Ve bee told. But I have no clue
10:13 <popey> ok, I'll see if I can find someone to help fix that
10:13 <popey> i saw a conversation pass by on irc between you and dpm I think yesterday?
10:13 <m-b-o> DanChapman and dpma laready looked at it, don't know what's the current state
10:13 <m-b-o> dpam
10:13 <m-b-o> dpm
10:13 <popey> dpm: you about?
10:13 <dpm> m-b-o, popey, I can have a look at it this weekend
10:13 <popey> nice one, thanks
10:14 <popey> m-b-o: whats the status of https://code.launchpad.net/~martin-borho/ubuntu-weather-app/position-lookup ?
10:14 <dpm> m-b-o, I'm thinking now that the app is a compiled one, I'll add a very simple main.cpp that takes care of loading the plugin. This should help with app startup time vs. qmlscene
10:14 <m-b-o> dpm: How about the autopilot tests?
10:14 <DanChapman> +1 to that
10:15 <DanChapman> :-) morning btw
10:15 <popey> ☻
10:15 <popey> All the gang is here!
10:15 <m-b-o> moin moin
10:15 <dpm> m-b-o, yeah, they'll need to be adapted too. We did that for file manager, terminal and reminders
10:15 <dpm> hey DanChapman! o/
10:16 <m-b-o> dpm: ok, currently its says  module "TimeZone" is not installed  too
10:16 <DanChapman> hey dpm o/
10:16 <dpm> yeah, it's because it does not search for the plugin in the right location
10:16 <m-b-o> popey: started with that one some weeks ago, but the Position-Service hasn't worked properly
10:17 <m-b-o> should try that again, there's also a realted bug report
10:17 <popey> it works now
10:17 <popey> you may need to re-run the wizard to accept the HERE T&C for it to work
10:17 <m-b-o> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-weather-app/+bug/1370582
10:17 <m-b-o> popey: okay
10:17 <popey> run this with your phone attached. phablet-config welcome-wizard --enable
10:17 <popey> then reboot it
10:17 <popey> it will run the wizard
10:17 <m-b-o> popey: thanks
10:18 <dpm> popey, m-b-o, until the positioning service works more reliably, it might be worth focusing on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-weather-app/+bug/1355835 or https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-weather-app/+bug/1326918 instead
10:18 <popey> well positioning does work, so that should be a simple landing, but I agree on the others
10:19 <m-b-o> dpm: the latter one is in work
10:19 <dpm> m-b-o, awesome, shall we change the status to In Progress to reflect that?
10:19 <m-b-o> yeah
10:20 <m-b-o> dpm https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-weather-app/+bug/1355835 switching to mobile url as default was the solution for the moment, right? can't remember exactly :)
10:21 <dpm> m-b-o, yeah, let's go for that for now
10:21 <m-b-o> one question about the geo lookup: should there be a timeout for the lookup?
10:22 <popey> I don't know actually.
10:23 <dpm> m-b-o, good point, probably. Do you know if nik90 implemented a geolookup timeout for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-weather-app/+bug/1326918 in clock?
10:23 <popey> well, I dont know if it spins forever until it gets a location
10:23 <nik90> at the moment there is no timeout
10:23 <nik90> but should be easy enough to add
10:23 <m-b-o> popey: I'll try. When geolookup is implemented, the geoip thing should be uneccessry?
10:24 <dpm> m-b-o, yes, we should then either not use geoip, or prompt the user. There is a related bug about that
10:24 <m-b-o> nik90: thanks
10:25 <m-b-o> dpm: prompting the user for which question?
10:26 <dpm> m-b-o, prompting if they want to use geoip. But I think the easiest thing would be to remove it for now (once GPS location is implemented) and then worry about the UI. Here's the related bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-weather-app/+bug/1370582
10:27 <m-b-o> dpm: alright
10:29 <popey> what happens if someone rejects the HERE T&C though?
10:29 <popey> They won't get accurate location lookup
10:29 <popey> so will have to do it via geoip..
10:31 <m-b-o> popey: so we have a general location setting and the HERE t&c?
10:31 <m-b-o> popey: perhaps they are related, you can only use location lookup when t&c accepted
10:31 <m-b-o> ?
10:31 <popey> the HERE T&C is just a tickbox during the wizard which says "yes, i want to use the binary blob to get my location more accurately"
10:31 <popey> if you dont tick it then you get the slow GPS fix
10:31 <popey> which can take minutes
10:32 <m-b-o> popey: hmmm, perhaps we should implement the lookup and try afterwards how it works under certain scenarios
10:33 <m-b-o> before the merge perhaps
10:33 <popey> i think probably as dpm suggested we should focus on the other bugs until we can be sure of all the location use cases
10:33 <m-b-o> alright
10:36 <popey> Ok. anything else?
10:36 <m-b-o> nope!
10:36 <popey> super stuff. Thanks m-b-o ! (and everyone else)
10:36 <m-b-o> thanks too!
10:36 <popey> let me know if you need any testing done.
10:36 <popey> have a great weekend.
10:36 <m-b-o> you also!
