    The issue was me not having a screen lock passcode defined. Not sure if this is the best way to approach this, a settings page for editing user information (including name and root password) would be useful, that one could then opt out for the screenlock.

    I have used linux since 2016, but never on a phone till now, seeing that Volla phones come with linux I kept an eye on the lineup as I didn't see anything that screamed perfect for my usecases. Then the Plinius is released, it has everything I want from a phone, everything, and it comes with something that I love (linux), but I live in a country that is extremely dependent on some android apps such as BankID (thanks scandinavia), I have gotten BankID to work on both GrapheneOS and /e/OS so Ubuntu Touch wasn't a problem for me (I thought) because of waydroid. As long as I can get waydroid, I can get my essential apps for day to day in this dystopian digital society. I have never used debian/ubuntu (only fedora and arch based distros) before so I read the Ubuntu Touch pamphlet that came with my brand new Volla Plinius to figure out how to get waydroid working, it said to use waydroid helper. I turn on my phone and immediately update everything, then I go to open store and download waydroid helper, I press install and wait, nothing is happening, it is just there infinitely, it says preparing to download image but nothing is happening. I do some research, I find this forum, some guys says it can take up to an hour, another person reports it took him a whole two hours, I put it on and wait an hour, it doesn't work, it still says "preparing to download image", I then continue to wait two hours and still nothing, I then decide to let it run overnight and wait a full 8 hours while sleeping, nothing again. I then check the documentation which gives me different directions than the pamphlet that my phone came with, I write "waydroid init" into my terminal, I get root error so I instead write "sudo waydroid init" and I get that it failed tp get vendor OTA ID, with a specific Halium 14 json version of waydroid. I end up doing even more research and find out that I can manually download waydroid and do sudo waydroid init -f and it should use the manually downloaded image instead. That's when I learn that the latest waydroid version available on sourceforge is Halium 13, I think back to when I tried to use the terminal and it said halium_14.json so I research and according to my research halium 13 is not compatible with halium 14 devices, so there is seemingly not even a point in me using the halium 13 waydroid image as it won't work according to both google and duckduckgo. So now I am just lost, is there no solutions to my predicament?

    @marek_python said in Unlock the bootloader forcibly: (...) I followed the tuts on XDA site all UT community is aware of. However, I can't pass the point where I'm supposed to type "su" into terminal emulator. It just spits out "Connection to ui timed out" meaning it won't let me execute the commands where I need elevated privileges. And for overwriting the proinfo file I do need to be root in the session. So far I haven't found a way to go around it. I had the same problem, Terminal just hangs. So I simply use adb shell su and a then following with the procedure (using simply cp instead of dd)

    After doing a bit more searching, i acknowledge I'm in 'unsupported use' territory. I have no expectations of help :). Just hopeful. I have checked out postmarket and it looks less mature. I suppose I can try Kali, as it should have otg/modules support, just a lot of hacking tools I have no use for, and doubtful camera and other things work out of box Attempting to compile kernel with config_modules=y and seeing if it's just as simple as that. First time build is slow. Anyway, appreciate any tips.

    @ogogon you are not supposed to use /var/log as a shared directory. Apps are confined in what they can do quite heavily (as on every mobile device OS so far), and have their own directory for logs and temporary stuff. This is done for security. How else could we ever allow 3rd parties (means non-Ubuntu Touch developers) to contribute any App through a store? If you trust all the world its fine, we don't. So, Apps cannot do what they want and should not do what they want. Also, the whole root file system is read-only. Also do not use apt to update stuff. We got image-based OTA upgrades. It is faster, saves write cycles on the flash storage, and its transactional, meaning no partially upgraded systems . This is not a desktop, saying this just once more. The advantage is a superior stability, you cannot brick your device easily, Apps cannot spy on each other and the system, most rootkits/hacks wont work on UT etc. You have claims that Apps can request and the user can allow or disallow them, like mic, camera etc access. This is not possible in a traditional desktop OS. So, a big win. If you tamper with that security model, you are on your own. We cannot support you when you start changing the way how the OS works. If you start rearranging how logging works you need to give Apps elevated permissions, and that's not how we think a mobile OS should work these days. So before you complain about why we made everything wrong you should better ask why decisions were made in that way. We di dnot make our life more complicated because it´s fun but because we wanted to improve the architecture.

    This hasn't been implemented reliably in windowed mode. There are apps that adjusts when the OSK is displayed but they won't work well in windowed mode. I suggest your turn down the opacity of the keyboard in the settings although this is still not perfect but at least you can see behind it.

    @Keneda said in Trouble With My APN Settings: @Edward-Wilhelm said in Trouble With My APN Settings: However, ATT has more data fields than the phone has input for. I wonder if this may be part of the problem. My carrier too, anyway, SMS/MMS messaging works for me. And if SMS/MMS works for you, but not grouped ones, then it's not an APN issue so keep the default created/activated APN on. I think you have an messaging-app issue and you're not alone having it. See here for active issues, and submit yours if not already created : https://github.com/ubports/messaging-app/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue Okay, I guess it isn't APN problem.

    @Macadam "out of space" maybe try wiping first?! If this doesn't help - then I can only repeat the the request: share logs! Without it, it is close to impossible to help you

    Help App crashes

    @arubislander Thanks arubisander. I think we have nailed it. On a nexus 7, the "Help" app works. It does not crash but it opens an error message: Document Not Found The URI 'help:ubuntu-help/index' does not point to a valid page. However, the app shows a working menu with "Find... | Print... | Previous Page | Next Page | All Help". Clicking on "All Help" opens a page with the following items: AisleRiot Manual Gnome Help A guide for GNOME 3 desktop users GNOME System Administration Guide A guide for GNOME 3 system administrators I think this Help app was installed automatically as a dependency to AisleRiot Solitaire which may be a GNOME app. This "Help" probably doesn't have all the documentation that could come with it. Hence the error message. I still don't know why it crashes on a nexus 5 though.

    Perhaps you can check how UTTT does the switching to windowed mode and if it's just a script, you can add something in upstart which can be triggered every boot. Scaling for example can be done this way, actually it's what UTTT does to be persistent.
