**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Feb 01 03:00:26 2020 Feb 01 11:03:45 yes, the firmware update is another reason I don't use the cosmo as primary yet Feb 01 11:37:22 mifritscher: You haven't done any firmware updates to the Cosmo? Feb 01 12:06:42 Steve-Goodey: the ota fw update server is not working now Feb 01 12:08:59 Yeah I know. I wanted to check if the autorotate worked before the upgrades. Feb 01 12:09:38 it didn't work for me with nova launcher Feb 01 12:09:57 in my other phone i can see the setting in both android settings and nova settings Feb 01 12:10:11 in cosmo, i didn't find it in android settings/display Feb 01 12:13:05 So it's a hardware missing problem? Feb 01 12:13:37 the rotation works though Feb 01 12:13:43 it's through that planet's app Feb 01 12:14:28 press the planet key and then planet, then force rotate Feb 01 12:15:07 there could be a direct shortcut for it too Feb 01 12:15:27 i meant previously that i couldn't make the rotation automatic Feb 01 12:44:05 Steve-Goodey: I've the current v19, but I'm waiting for the multiboot-update Feb 01 12:49:14 mifritscher: akik: Thanks. Feb 01 12:55:48 fn+shift+r rotates the screen Feb 01 12:57:05 then you can press planet once and it rotates back to landscape Feb 01 12:57:45 or fn+shift+r again Feb 01 12:59:05 in my blackberry i have "when device is rotated" in display settings Feb 01 12:59:26 and there i can set "rotate the contents of the screen" Feb 01 12:59:44 that seems to be totally missing from cosmo's android settings Feb 01 13:00:26 oesf forum mentions something called rotation control pro Feb 01 13:01:04 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.snowlife01.android.rotationcontrolpro&hl=en Feb 01 13:03:26 â–ºPer App rotation settings Feb 01 13:03:27 Can configure different rotations for each apps. Feb 01 13:06:02 How is using Facebook like on this device Feb 01 13:10:40 And GPS... Feb 01 13:38:20 On the Facebook page there is mention of Tasker which is good for auto rotation. Feb 01 13:41:14 Might give it a go. From the apps website you can download a trial version. Feb 01 17:02:50 davedoom: did you try that wayland server. Feb 01 17:02:52 ? Feb 01 17:03:15 I will check that out next week. Feb 01 17:08:06 Does anyone have a Cosmo that *doesn't* drop keys, and is fun to type on? I want to know if it's worth complaining to Planet and getting an RMA. Feb 01 17:08:59 Most keys register if you push them enough to depress, however gently, but a few - notably 'e' - do not. Feb 01 17:10:17 It's starting to grind my gears. Feb 01 17:12:18 My cosmo works fine. You have a bad keyboard. Feb 01 17:12:42 In fact I have two here and that both work more or less fine. Feb 01 17:13:27 I would expect a cadillac quality but this is good enough. Feb 01 17:14:14 Hm. Do all the keys have the same depression force too? Feb 01 17:14:28 There's huge variation on my unit. Feb 01 17:16:29 Like I said it isn't the best keyboard I have ever used but it works fine. I don't have to press too hard and I don't have keys that stick. Feb 01 17:35:54 I've tapped a message into Planet's support box. I did not edit it, which should get the point across :p Let's see what happens. Feb 01 17:44:34 http://paste.debian.net/plain/1128688 Feb 01 19:06:16 I'm on an open-source binge for something I want to work on. Wonder if Godot Engine and Blender would work lololol (Nah, needs ARM builds, right?) Feb 01 19:06:21 oh well Feb 01 23:17:27 i can't press ctrl-a so that ctrl would be pressed while pressing a Feb 01 23:17:40 i have to depress ctrl, then press a Feb 01 23:17:56 sorry for my bad english. can't find the right word Feb 01 23:18:41 this is with cosmo and vx connectbot and screen Feb 01 23:19:16 Are you using bash? Feb 01 23:19:25 yes Feb 01 23:19:58 you need to remap the control-a in bash. It is used to go to beginning of the line. Feb 01 23:20:07 this is a pretty common issue with screen Feb 01 23:20:13 no i mean how to control screen Feb 01 23:20:31 i always press ctrl-a so that control is down when i press a Feb 01 23:20:39 with cosmo this doesn't work Feb 01 23:20:49 what do you mean? Feb 01 23:21:02 i have to lift up ctrl, then press a Feb 01 23:21:14 seems to work for me. Feb 01 23:21:17 wow Feb 01 23:21:51 my cosmo doesn't register ctrl-a if i keep ctrl down while pressing a Feb 01 23:22:58 ctrl-c doesn't work either if i keep ctrl pressed down :( Feb 01 23:23:00 that term program seems strange. Try another one. Feb 01 23:23:19 I tried it in termux. Feb 01 23:23:23 works as expected. Feb 01 23:24:34 i'll try termux then Feb 01 23:26:07 works fine Feb 01 23:26:18 thanks for the tip Feb 01 23:26:42 I tried andronix. works a treat Feb 01 23:36:38 davedoom: can you use andronix with cosmo using an external screen? Feb 01 23:36:48 no idea. Feb 01 23:36:59 somebody commented on reddit about that, and samsung's dex Feb 01 23:37:11 https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/e4h4ue/andronix_desktop_linux_no_root_needed_works_on/ Feb 01 23:37:12 I see people doing something similar on youtube but not with the cosmo. Feb 01 23:37:47 i'll need to test it Feb 01 23:38:06 i was thinking of getting a nexus 5 and maru os for that functionality Feb 01 23:38:43 got the planet hdmi cable with my delivery Feb 01 23:49:16 the comments mention accessing andronix with vnc for the external screen setup Feb 01 23:54:48 oh ok Feb 01 23:56:15 first start the linux system with e.g. start-ubuntu.sh, then start vnc-server with vncserver-start and then use a vnc client to connect to localhost:1 so you'll get the graphical desktop Feb 01 23:56:32 pretty genius **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Feb 02 02:59:57 2020
