@tigermoth without being able to permanently unlock the bootloader this is a non-starter, anyone's feeling notwithstanding.

@tigermoth Not aware of any such phones, do you have examples?

arubislander

@pparent good point. I wonder how that is arranged.

@pparent There is already an up to date Firefox click. But the author is aiming for better clipboard and contenthub integration before releasing it to the open store. Also there's the issue of permission from Mozilla for using the name and trademarked graphics.

@CyBerT said in Onepluse6T change adduser and change password not work, passwd: Authentication token manipulation error:

did have to change the ownership of the home folder,

Glad you got it solved. But the above is never necessary. Maybe start another thread describing the issue you were facing that made you think you needed to solve it in this way. It might be possible to solve Inna different way, that will not break the system.

arubislander

@CyBerT Did you do anything else after installing and before attempting to change the password? Like maybe making the filesystem writable and trying to install stuff via apt?

If the system is misbehaving this badly I would suggest backing up all data you would like to keep and running your device again through the installing but this time also selecting the 'wipe data' checkbox to return to a fresh known state.

@CyBerT There is no default password on UT, just the password you entered originally when installing the system. Changing the password on the command line is not supported and can lead to the issues you experienced of you are not careful.

Try changing your password back to a numeric code, with the same amount of digits a before.
Then go to the privacy settings in the settings app and change your password there to alphanumeric if you so wish.

@gpatel-fr said in Some questions:

the way to switch channel is to use the installer. You can't switch channel safely from the phone UI.

You can switch channels safely from the phone UI. But only between channels on the same track, so you can switch between devel, rc and stable on 20.04; or daily, rc and stable on 24.04-1.x.
If you have installed or already updated to 24.04-2.x, then it is not possible to switch channels as daily is currently the only channel on that version track. In that case the only option would be to use the installer.

@RapidRotator then that is probably the chromecast protocol.. again, not quite the same.
