  I do also believe Anbox is a good thing because I have a couple of Android apps I need, like the bank app and the local transportation app. But I also think it will never be harmful for the development of the Ubuntu Touch ecosystem; in fact, the experience in Anbox will never be as smooth as for the native apps because I don't think the developers will never completely get rid of the latency you get when you run an Android app. For what concerns the desktop OS, I discovered Ubuntu 10 years ago and since then I never needed to go back to Windows; I never had the dual boot nor the Wine facility. The argument normally people oppose against passing to a true Linux system is that they don't have certain programs which I find only an excuse; usually is the average end user to say that, the one who uses the desktop PC maximum only to browse the internet and to listen to the music...I always found that argument odd.

  On your phone you can do this via terminal (I used ssh). Open terminal app, change to Video folder, capture raw video to file. eg. to use the command from post above: $ cd ~/Videos $ mirscreencast -m /run/mir_socket --cap-interval 2 -s 384 640 -f screencast.rgba Note: use Ctrl+C to cancel screencast recording, or just use the timeout to capture exact duration. Also it helps to see mircast --help to see the params meanings. Then you need ffmpeg command. You can install it into libertine container. (mine default is xenial) $ libertine-container-manager install-package -p ffmpeg after ffmpeg installed you can use it inside Video folder (also inside Documents, Downloads, Music and Pictures folders) using libertine. So to encode saved screencast.rgba to mp4 using params as in post above: $ libertine-launch --id xenial ffmpeg -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgba -s:v 384x640 -i screencast.rgba -filter:v "setpts=2*PTS" screencast.mp4 Note: we are still in the ~/Video directory with screencast.rgba file. Now you should see the screencast.mp4. I can play it on my computer, but on the phone there is some error. I tried to pipe the mirscreencast command to ffmpeg directly, but it didn't work :( maybe libertine-launch don't support stdin input. $ # not working $ mirscreencast -m /run/mir_socket --cap-interval 2 -s 384 640 --stdout | libertine-launch --id xenial ffmpeg -i - -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgba -s:v 384x640 -filter:v "setpts=2*PTS" newscreen.mp4

  OTOH, I just today found a spare OTG USB cable in hand, and tried plugging in a mouse. Which worked very well--hats off to the UT folks.

  We should make Ubuntu Touch more known. It’s an elegant, beautiful and awesome OS with so much possibilities. Let it run on the Librem 5 and put some general improvements on it or add some more features and it could be the best mobile operating system ever. The problem, no one knows about it, If you would ask people on the street what mobile OS they know, they would say „Android and iOS“, some would even add Windows Phone. But no one would say „Ubuntu Touch“, Even many developers don’t know its still a thing. Windows Phone failed because they couldn’t get any App developers to publishing their Apps for Windows Phone. So how should Ubuntu Touch survive if the most App developers and possible contributors don’t even know its there? We should promote Ubuntu Touch like a product to get more users and more contributors, But theres not even an own dedicated Twitter or Instagram Account for Ubuntu Touch. Ubuntu Touch could become the choice for governments, because its an open source and secure mobile OS, it could become the choice for Companies because they can implement whatever they want, it could become the choice for Privacy and Security focused people like Journalists, CEOs, CTOs and Developers, and it could become so much more So let’s collect some ideas how to spread Ubuntu Touch to the world^^

  @adams OK. Yes, it always takes two attempts to log in to the Unity 8 session on 18.04. This is the same on x86. Xwayland doesn't work, so there are no visible problems directly related to that. Window controls have stopped working for me as well, in my testing VM. I'm not sure why that is yet. Keyboard entry works fine from an external keyboard (but there are some very odd focus issues). The OSK does not work yet though. I've fixed a couple things with it, but I've not been able to get it to appear yet.
