@developerbayman said: i knew soon as they bought it it would go to crap Microsoft did not buy git, they bought github which is not the same thing at all. Github is just one of the many existing "web interface" for git. By the way the Ubports fondation is in partnership with "Gitlab" which is the direct competitor of "Github".

@arubislander Yes, I will do that when I am reinstalling the next time Right now it has reverted into showing the Google logo when entering Ubuntu recovery, earlier, when installing, it showed Linneage with the extra red rings before entering the recovery It also showed it upon the first boot into ubuntu after installation Maybe this is a Halium thing? I will upload a picture when I can. /r

@Futura said: different versions of UT, or I am not testing this the same way you are.. I use 24.04-1.2 stable. For this test it's always done before my PC keyboard with artificial light, I point the phone at the keyboard from my normal distance (about 30 cm) and the keys are blurry.

@pparent copy that. thanks!

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

@arubislander If I refer his other topic describing post installation issues, he first installed daily version (24.04 (24.04-1.x (2026-03-20))) , so that's quite normal to have unstable device.

found a fatal bug in the container launch ill have to go over it its my day off when i wake up ill prob fix it actually i forgot to inckude some important files

@archie3d It uses the system libsdl2-dev from the ubuntu-sdk-20.04 clickable framework and for that framework the SDL2 package is 2.0.10+dfsg1-3 on Focal/arm64 ...i tend to find even if your building for a newer version of UT you still have to use older packages because there is a break it seems in the versions and packaging being updated? ..idk i do know every time i try to build with newer repos something breaks ....

@Shadowbird2468 It was proven possible, but, due to different processor architectures, running desktop apps on mobile phone would require emulation layer. And, due to most games were made for windows, it requires running it through x86 Wine. And, due to differences in graphics APIs, it also requires using OpenGL to GLES translation where it is present. In fact some progress has been made at this direction. Several emulators exist for Android (and might work in Waydroid as well), there's at least one application related to that in OpenStore, and there's already Steam distribution for ARM in snap store. Don't know about graphics api translation though.

@TermuxnTR its from 20.04 , 16.04 is not booting

@Keneda thanks for the confirmation. It would be nice to be able to do it to confirm regressions when a new version is installed.

@fredldotme said: I have misplaced my FP4 and cannot find it at the moment Sad, i hope you misplaced it in your house and find it anytime !

@arubislander so on the regular desktop version its a normal ubuntu boot stack then it hands off into the UT rootfs .....still not done ...taking a break on that for sanity rn

@arubislander said: @pparent Where was this announced? Well "annonced" maybe was not the correct term, but it was at least mentioned as a possibility here: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Fairphone-6-Linux

@gus0000 put the device on stock ROM, Android version 9. Don't relock the bootloader. Unzip the vendor image. Use installer version 0.10.0.

@DJac said: The last version is relatively usable. great job ! How is the keyboard?

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

@Satanas1275 While we are all for seeing more and all kinds of Linux on phones, soliciting help on a Postmarket OS port is very much off topic for this forum, wouldn't you agree?

@tahirmehmood Did you use the standard browser? If so, try the beta version that is in the Open Store. https://open-store.io/app/morph-browser-qt6.ubports
