@AdFundum yes, it was a bug! i reported it to the webmaster and it got fixed immediately

@bunt7 You can find a workaround script, for Network connectivity jump here: https://forums.ubports.com/post/95548

you need to go to settings and set your usb to tethering ....there is your internet connection it should just work when you plug it in and connect ...if im understanding you correctly?

@projectmoon ..... WTF, it wasnt there but now it is!! Luckily I took a screenshot of when it wasnt there. How do I share images on the forum?

@Stefano Hello! I've had my phone for a few years now, but it's been sitting in the drawer for a while. I couldn't put the Ubuntu system back on from the Flyme system. But now I finally did it and thanks to you I now have the "latest system" on it I'm happy now! Thank you very much! It's true that it won't be for everyday use anymore (I'm using a 6-year-old Huawei Mate 40 Pro Plus on it), but I'm glad that I managed to put Ubuntu on the Meizu

Changing the DNS server solved the problem

Since this is not a device question, I will move it to Support and mark it as a solved question.

@arubislander yeah i was just double checking cause you know? idk i just didnt want to be rude lol but thank yeah ill drop it eventually rn im working on a esp32p4 project

@aimar I sync notes between my phone and my computer this way. Syncthing from the open store to syncthing on a Xubuntu computer. Works well, but I have to manually run Syncthing from time to time to do the sync, as I don't want to try running it continously on the phone.

I've figure it out that entering 'selection mode' with a long press is precisely what I was looking for. Would still be useful to somehow start the terminal on selection mode and hide the 'Exit selection mode' option

@jojumaxx I figured that was the case! I've also edited the topic title, for better searchability.

@projectmoon said: Though in general, I don't see many payment sites asking for your password at time of check-out, at least once you're at the payment screen. eh, maybe I didn't pay attention on this and only sms-code is sufficient. I have to check it. I'll have to dig into waydroid, but maybe some time in the future - hey, it is not so begginer stuff, right? Thanks for help and nice chat!

@gpatel-fr No, I haven't. The UBPorts code definitely has some stuff related with that (dating from the ubuntu era...), but I have not spent time looking into it. I looked into geoclue2 as reported in this other thread, and realized that what is described there only uses wifi or cell; Geoclue2 does not switch to gps afterwards because it connects to gps chips through modemmanager while UBPorts manages the modem with ofono instead... I believe it would be easy to make a geoclue2 plugin for lomitri-location-service to first get a quick inaccurate location from local networks through geoclue2, with lomitri-location-service later automatically switching to gps when a fix becomes available. Of course, a working native AGPS lomiry-location-service implementation would be cleaner and preferable (geoclue2 is essentially duplicating the functionality of lomiry-location-service). What I'd also like is to have gps apps continuing to receive fixes when the screen is off. I would very much like activitytracker to be able to record tracks, or PureMaps continuing to give routing voice indications while cycling, without the present unnecessary screen-on battery drain.

@arubislander said: @gandalf Yes there is. In the terminal, navigate to the folder you no longer want the files indexed and execute the following command: touch .nomedia This also works on desktop linux. Thanks, that worked (mostly). I had to delete the data and cache for both the music player and gallery plus do a reboot. They haven't picked up the files again.

i am doing a app for this in the future called pysync ...i may rename it for UT ...hmmm UT-sync?? .....the app is built but very broken right now and not a priority ...it will do the same thing as syncthing ...well i hope anyways UT design can throw a wrench into things

@PringleMingle Have you put it onto the required version of Android before installing UT? Was the device fully charged before starting the process? Noble (24.04.1.x)does not work on this device so use Focal (20.04) instead. Someone is working on this to get the upgrade to Noble. From experience a crashdump is usually a weak/dying battery or battery requiring a charge.

okay. great. I update. previous version, less stable on 24.04-2.x. better on 24.04-1.2
