RE: Why uAdBlock currently no longer works
@kazord Hello! We had the same idea
I've implemented it with many optimizations a few days ago. The result was a script running 45 seconds on Intel i7 or 2 minutes 30 seconds on a Raspberry Pi. The script is single thread so it could be further optimized. The lists were ~17MB of total size when the script ended. Querying the data from Apache takes less than 5 seconds. So far it seems too good to be true, so I wanted to ask @beli3ver if I may take a look at the original sources. The idea is to build this for serverless infrastructure on Netlify that will require very little costs and almost no maintenance. Idk the numbers of requests to uadblock servers, but maybe that could be done also with the free plan.Thank you for all your efforts in Uadblock

RE: Login screen/Code input Design
@purplevvay Hi, your designs look great!
The icons look awesome, the only thing I would keep as full text is the emergency text, because it would be more visible. Also the arrow at the bottom is inverted, in the system apps ( contacts, weather, calculator... ) the arrow is oriented the other way.Sure also the mobile landscape mode should be designed. I've put the user icon on the left of the username in my designs to fit also this need. Otherwise the keyboard might overlap the login field. Making it look the same on all screen sizes would be better for convergence. On my phone the space available is less than half of the screen height (other phones with different screen ratio might have less space).
I don't understand the function of the keyboard icon. Can't I just tap on the input field to open keyboard and swipe down to hide it?
My idea for the back button is to use a left to right swipe to go back. I've thought the login as a succession of screen displaying all users and quick app access. Swiping left/right would allow you to switch screens.
@mateo_salta said in Login screen/Code input Design:
so, interesting, if we get rid of the box background completely, error text is not really visible. It is looking good replacing the text with white to match. here are screens, one no background, one with .3 opacity
Maybe we can change the way we display errors:

Don't have a microphone? Don't worry, UT can do this for you...
Hi,
this is an experiment I've done with Ubuntu Touch and I would like to share. If someone needs a microphone for conferencing during the pandemic but doesn't have one, here is how to use your Ubuntu Touch phone as a microphone for your pc.Things you need:
- Your Ubuntu Touch phone
- A jack to jack audio cable
Step by step:
- Plug the cable into the microphone port of your pc and in the jack port of your phone.
Check that you've done the step 1 before going to step 2.
Check in the sound panel that headphones are plugged. - Run the following command in the terminal:
pactl load-module module-loopback
- Note the number in the output, you'll need it to stop microphone sharing.
- Enable silent mode to prevent notifications from going into the microphone.
To stop sharing microphone:
- Run the following in the terminal replacing number_to_replace with the number you have noted before. Do not unplug the cable before running the command.
pactl unload-module number_to_replace
- You can now safely remove the cable.
Please check that you've done the operations in the correct order. (Don't hurt your ears).
Tested on Nexus 5 Dev

RE: The device page requires community help
@Moem @nero355 said in The device page requires community help:
And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE : Sort them by Brand and their Model Name !!!
We'll have sorting options soon, so you can choose to list them alphabetically or using maturity, but to have this and the filters as well we need the data about these ports
@nero355 said in The device page requires community help:
The sooner we know, the better!
True. I can say that Halium 9 devices will stay, but that's mostly up to the porter. If they wish to add all the necessary changes needed to make the device work, it will work, otherwise not.

RE: What do you think? Use only Lomiri as poweruser?
Hi,
just a few thoughts about Open-store and apt package manager. I don't think that any of the two ways is perfect or wrong, they are just different in the way they handle security and privacy.
Open store allows everyone to upload a new app, that will be automatically added and will be available by default on all the UT devices. Apps aren't checked by humans if they don't ask for dangerous permissions, because they are containerized.
APT has some default repositories which only contain apps that are trusted by the OS maker. Apps can't be submitted to be displayed in apt. The user can install all the other apps by adding repositories, that the user should trust. An app is added to the default repository only if it has enough users and it passed mantainer's security checks. This makes containerization almost unnecessary, but still a nice measure for extra security. -
RE: UBports Website rebuilding
@Kaizen Hi,
thank you, great pages.
Just some notes for the devices page:- We have an official device checklist for working features at: https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/general/-/blob/master/DeviceChecklist.md
- The installer and the preparatory steps sections could be merged in a how to install, which would be easier to read.
- If a user gets stuck while installing, it could be useful to have links to the forum, telegram channel and/or matrix channel.
I've made some changes to the page you've shared:
(My first mock-up)

RE: Login screen/Code input Design
Hi, I've made some designs previously for the ICE topic and I've added some also for the login screen. Let me know what do you think. The image is too big to upload so I'll share the direct link

RE: Login screen/Code input Design
Hello,
@mateo_salta Thank you! Having a greeter that is able to rotate would be great, so, yes, that's part of the plan. I just need to do one step at the time and I'll be there.
Working with @UniSuperBox is awesome! Thank you very much, I've learned a lot with you!
@PhoenixLandPirat Thank you for the suggestion! The accounts icon was already circular when I started, I've just used the one from the Suru theme

RE: UBports Foundation Board of Trustees Membership Application
@bolly Hello, I've applied for the membership a few months ago and I can confirm what @Lakotaubp said. I've received a mail saying that my membership request was being reviewed after two weeks from the application mail. Then after a week I got approved. I think it just needs some time, everyone at UBports is working at the 20.04 upgrade

RE: Ubuntu Touch Q&A 128 Call For Questions
Hi @UBportsNews. What are the plans for 24.04 now that upstream Ubuntu is already releasing daily builds, will we also have development builds? Will Ubuntu Touch 24.4.0 be released on the same day as upstream?
Thank you for all the great work you put into Ubuntu Touch!

RE: FluffyChat QML and Pantalaimon development
Hello! Fluffychat is very cool! I'd like to see support for reactions in it. The desktop version shows them but the UT one doesn't. The feature probably wouldn't change anyone's life, but.... it is just to add some more "fluffyness"

RE: rsp4-ut
Hello @ready-go . The current image is built for the Pi 3 only because the kernel is built for that Pi only. The Pi 4 image can be built, but nothing would be displayed because of missing support for some gpu functions in the version of Mir ( the display server ) currently used in UT. When we will reach the 20.04 base in Ubuntu Touch and upgrade Mir a functioning image could be released

RE: Delete functionless icon
@ma Hello! The folder you are searching for is probably ~/.local/share/applications. It is a hidden folder so you need to enable "Show hidden files" in the file manager and unlock using the password or you can do it in the terminal.

@nikfrager Good! I'm merging it. Thank you

RE: The device page requires community help
@nikfrager I'm not sure if you already did, but you should make a fork before you commit the file. Then you can make the commit and file the merge request.
