  @UniSuperBox Hello if we need to click to run the desktop games why use libertine? me I think (and that's what I see on github) that it would be necessary to put the material acceleration on libertine because half of the desktop app does not launch .. (I tried 0AD) ben he goes off desuite good after I support the project at 100%;) so I do not criticize at all but it will be cool the new version of mir and Unity 8! good luck !

  @advocatux said in Any plans to have encryption as an option in future Ubuntu Touch installers?: @Opolork probably that'll be easier on non Android devices than the Android ones. Android devices impose many limitation on us, like for example, we can't re-lock the bootloader currently and things like that. On the other hand, and at your own risk, you can experiment with some approach like this https://forums.ubports.com/topic/1012/one-method-to-encrypt-home-phablet I think I'll give that a miss.

  @gimenez said in Have pull down menu showing Airplane mode, WiFi, etc. fill screen.: Ach, yes, there is a way to do ! Re-press the pull bar at the very bottom. The one with " ... " written on it. Perhaps that could be made more obvious, with something like "< ^ >" rather than "..." ?

  Thank you so much for your work on this! - this definitely seems incredibly promising. My own priority feature enhancement request would be for it to be able to include launchers for the desktop apps we have installed via Libertine - if that was enabled then I would be able to have all the functionality (and more) that I have via the current Dash. Thanks for your consideration on that! Best regards, Steve Berson

  Has anyone already tried to port to LG Spirit 4G (c70n)? I will start to port my first device tomorrow. My resources: https://github.com/MobiusM/android_device_lge_c70n https://github.com/MobiusM/android_vendor_lge_c70n https://github.com/MobiusM/android_kernel_lge_msm8916 Currently I'm installing LineageOS 14.1 on the device: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767145998 (also from MobiusM) https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71207193&postcount=1956 https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-spirit/help/lg-spirit-h440n-thread-t3108435

  @dobey said in New Launcher, edge channel.: @TotalSonic said in New Launcher, edge channel.: I think the ultimate plan (or at least one possible one) is to allow people to place widgets and launchers on the wallpaper background as if it was a "home" (same as if it was a non-vanilla-Gnome-3 desktop) - but that this will take time to code and the need to streamline the code and image size to what can be easily maintained makes the first step of getting rid of Scopes one that will have to happen in order to make any forward progress from there. Best regards, Steve Berson It has been an idea that a few people have mentioned. There is currently no plan to do it (nor do I think should there be, as it's not a convergent feature). I don't see why allowing icons and widgets on a "home" background (whether mobile, tablet, or desktop) would be consodered "not a convergent feature" when that feature is an integral part of most OS's in all 3 form factors. I do agree that coding that feature to be truly convergent would likely be difficult, and as such should not be a priority for the UBports team. Best regards, Steve Berson

  "The Hesse Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (HBDI) ruled that using the popular cloud platform’s standard configuration exposes personal information about students and teachers “to potential access by US authorities.” https://thenextweb.com/privacy/2019/07/15/german-schools-ban-microsoft-office-365-amid-privacy-concerns/ It would be good news if privacy were finally taken seriously, particularly in education, health and more generally all public services sectors.
