    @libremax Short version we have been banned for two years for having a pop up stand in the canteen area. As far as we know this does not extend to talks.
    We are still working on reducing the ban length.

    @lduboeuf Not sure if I may need to "reset" my lxd images. There might be something wrong there? The debian control is pulled from the repo, right?

    @ds2k5 said in How to set Calendar Reminder Sound Volume ?:

    @AppLee

    thanks

    solution: in Clock app -> Settings -> Alarm Volume

    Then the alarm of a calendar reminder is also
    set

    it reminds me, we should be able to set it in system settings and be able to differentiate them

    I find that the indication of the images present in the updater is not clear enough.

    The date of pushing should also be indicated, maybe the chanel too.
    This date allows to better follow the evolution of the updates.

    The idea is ;

    Ubuntu Touch
    v 842 dev ddmmyy
    (i can't say the date of v 842 dev)

    @oya-g said in Japanese!!:

    Channel Update → 20.04Development has Japanese. My device is Pixel3a, so it is 4G compatible.

    The "development" channel is maybe not meant for day-to-day use, as it may be buggy and/or unstable. So really looking forward to japanese support arriving in stable.

    Note that even with a 4G compatible phone, you will not be able to do any phone calls inside japan, as the 4G protocol stack does not by itself support telephony. It only supports data.

    For telephony, you need VoLTE support, which is quite a messy affair, as it requires various firmware and software components to cooperate properly for calls to be routed over the 4G data layer (i.e. as VoIP call). UBports does not support that currently.

    @Arnoldko
    About your question:
    UBports is a German foundation. And when I search for "public transport" at open-store.io (app store for Ubuntu Touch (UT)) I see four German, two Spanish, one Norwegian, one American, one Hungarian and one Swiss app(s). So you have maybe slightly more people who know some things about UT in this countries, but I do not think that this is significant.
    It probably depends more on what you want to do and how you want to structure your company (How closely do HW and SW teams need to work together? Where is the head of your company? Is this a commercial project?...).
    If your hardware team also takes care of firmware and drivers and you are only searching for some people who write some apps for you, you should find people who can do some C++, Qt and server stuff nearly everywhere.
    Specifically for Ubuntu Touch, you could maybe post a job description in this forum and let the people work from home.

    Some time ago some people related to Volla did a fundraiser to bring Android apps to UT. They commissioned some Russian developer and it was very successful. So maybe this could also be an option for you:

    https://forums.ubports.com/topic/5907/open-ubuntu-touch-to-all-android-applications/ https://forums.ubports.com/user/stanwood https://www.gofundme.com/f/anbox-on-ut?utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=customer&utm_campaign=p_lico+share-sheet

    About no phone numbers:
    A lot of messengers and other services depend on verification via SMS. This is maybe something you want to consider.

    About using UT as a base:
    Please be aware that Ubuntu Touch has some limitations and depending on what you want to do (how much you want to modify the system), it could maybe be more convenient to start with something else (like Debian). There are currently also some people working on Lomiri (the desktop environment of Ubuntu Touch) for Debian.
    But this very much depends on what you want to do.

    The last step installs the rootfs usually in system partition, see the install section of the porting documention.
    Basically flash the latest xenial image from the CI to system. Alternatively push the image with adb to /data/system.img when booted to recovery.
    Otherwise you could try ubports installer with only the systemimage:install command.
    You can also see the halium-install source code, particularly these lines.

    Be sure to check if this partition exists as partition schemes can vary.

    @DJac sadly this is not the same device, this is for the 8.4" Samsung Galaxy Tab S LTE, why they have it the way they do is very misleading and it really messes with search results for the Galaxy Tab S8
