    @hankschwie hi mate, so at long last the latest update has sorted the reboot problem - this is version 280 of Ubuntu 24.04 as of 26/06/2025. I don't know about Fairfax phones but have a Gigaset GS5 which I used the Vollaphone 22 with new screen install. Phone works, Ubuntu works, and now Waydroid is back..... These folks are truly amazing

    Indicator pull down regression on new Unity8 (rc/ver. 64) [solved]

    @dobey said in Indicator pull down regression on new Unity8 (rc/ver. 64): For the second question, it would be in the unity8 repo, and in the Panel.qml iirc. Panel.qml is the correct spot. I've poked around with the old unity, and it should just be a matter of properly defining sizes and anchors. edit: I see where the indicator is defined but am too much of a newbie to know what's wrong. line 350: https://github.com/ubports/unity8/blob/xenial/qml/Panel/Panel.qml

    @Idefix said in root drive full? (some kind of virtual disk?): I want to add a feature, which implies manipulating nftables, unbound, vsftpd and things like that, if they are installed in a container, is there some hope it will function ? You haven't elaborated on what it is you are trying to do. But lots of commandline tools and apps work fine in a Libertine container. Also installing them there carries the added benefit that if you switch channels, your apps remain installed.

    To echo what @arubislander said, you'll have to check to see if Anbox works for your device. Here are the detailed instructions: https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/anbox.html I installed Anbox on my OneplusOne phone and so far it seems to fit my usecases. Some apps will work and some won't. You'll have to experiment and see which ones work. If you run into some issues getting apps to work, the following posts might be useful depending on what errors you run into: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3406/starting-anbox-container/5 https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3407/anbox-apps-not-working

    Nexus 5 Hotspot has two BSSID numbers?

    Today after several tries I was able to get the hotspot working on my Nexus 5. I tried different menu click combinations on the Nexus and none of the usual combinations worked. I'm using it now as I type this. The wifi sniffer said that the vendor name is Google, Inc. now on this connection I have today. Google, Inc. and LG Electronics kept popping up at the same time a few times as vender name and mostly LG Electronics, but I was not able to get a connection on either. Google, Inc. went through three different BSSID addresses before I had internet. This is the first time I've seen it connect to the Google, Inc. address. It seems like there is a fight going on between LG and Google. On my Mac, the network connection window shows the hotspot name twice and the check mark alternates between the two like it cannot make up it's mind which one to connect to. Maybe in a future UT update this problem can be worked out. If anyone has an idea on what I can do to help my computer connect to the hotspot, then please let me know. If you are using Linux or BSD then that would be helpful to know, too. My Mac is on the Catalina OS update. Thanks.

    Right now there is not an easy way. Maybe in the future there will be, but it will take time.

    If you are interested I made a script to do the install. It uses pm tool which verifies its download and does some checksum to see if the image you have is the latest successful build available from ubports. https://github.com/goddard/pinephone

    I experience this constanly in all apps. Anytime I flip between apps there is a chance the keyboard disappears in one. Nothing brings it back but closing the app and reopening it... very frustrating. It seems to effect Messages and the Terminal apps the worst, but is certainly not restricted to just those apps.

    Looks like Podbird has been rather unmaintained... there isn't much happening on the repository: https://launchpad.net/podbird As for channels, you can switch under: Settings -> Updates -> Update settings -> Channels

    Most apps you'll find are webapps, which is to say that they run a confined browser instance for only a specific page. The ones you've listed above sound like these types of apps. It would help to note which channel (stable/rc/devel) you've flashed on your phone, though I think webapps should generally be working everywhere still.
