Emulator is not loading scopes or apps

[Dave Morley]

STEPS:
1. instigate a new image of ubuntu emulator from ubuntu-touch/rc/ubuntu
2. run it
3. run through the wizard
4. Scopes never load
5. drag in the launcher select system settings

EXPECTED:
I expect the emulator to behave like a device

ACTUAL:
Neither the scope nor the system-settings app load ever.

Could be related to the issues in bug 1587808

Not sure it this is releated however I had this issue using SDK (installed few days ago) and I fixed it installing qml-module-ubuntu-performancemetrics package (as networking doesn't work I downloaded it from overlay PPA and used adb push to move it to device, then I installed it using dpkg -i from adb shell), looks like MainView from Ubuntu.Components 1.3 requires it.

@david brilliant, thats the issue, checking the packaging now, not clear why it didn't install

[Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan)]

There are other packages installed to the devices not installed to the emulator like qml-module-ubuntu-components,, not sure which is in error as the emulator seems to be running without that package.

I created an armhf emulator and it came up fine (eventually) so definitely some i386 packaging issue

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

This is because qml-module-ubuntu-performancemetrics is a dependency of qml-module-ubuntu-components (which is installed on armhf only) but not of qml-module-ubuntu-components-gles (installed on i386)

It looks like it's clearly an oversight and fixed in this branch [1]

The branch is in silo 19.
