    Emacs Emacs: an editor for text and code with infinite adaptation possibilities I have been using Emacs extensively on Ubuntu Touch as the text editor and code editor. I only got Emacs to work inside a Libertine container, since Emacs cannot find its libraries otherwise. Emacs can be adapted in the same way as Firefox inside Libertine container to scale well. The only issues I have seen with Emacs so far is that the menus do not show one out of three times. Keyboard shortcuts, Ctrl, Meta (usually the Alt key left from space bar) and Lisp functions cover all the needs of reformating text. MELPA is a repository with lots of add-ons to deal with things like beautifying html and css code, viewing EPUBs and playing games. When using linux, Emacs is probably one of the tools which is good to know about and use. Of course there are other tools which are equally good. I invite readers to share their view on which tools that are best to use as editors in Ubuntu Touch. Install emacs in Libertine lirsh fakeroot apt-get update apt-get install emacs Adjust the emacs.desktop line that starts with Exec= to suit your eyes. I currently use these lines with default Xft.dpi: 197 setting: # TryExec=/usr/bin/emacs TryExec=bash -c 'GDK_DPI_SCALE=0.6 GDK_BACKEND=x11 /usr/bin/emacs' # Exec=/usr/bin/emacs %F Exec=bash -c "GDK_DPI_SCALE=0.6 GDK_BACKEND=x11 /usr/bin/emacs %F"

    @UBportsNews @applee Thanks for doing the show all alone! My answer to your question is, that the soundeffects like applause, fanfares etc are funny, but the music is distroying my concentration. Maybe at least a little more loud would be a solution...

    Humm it used to work on 20.04 ?. On 24.04.2 it is broken too but there is a WIP In Lomiri OnlineAccount, don't know for 24.04.1.x @slowcyclist said: @gpatel-fr I also have a Radicale server and UBPorts agenda syncs well with it (both ways) as long as I do not reboot the phone after connecting to the caldav server (i.e. creating the remote caldav account). On subsequent boots, calendars no longer sync; I need to delete the remote caldav account on the phone and recreate it for syncing to work again. It could just be a problem with storing the password (I find it somewhat surprising that once it's created, it's not possible to change the remote account password, AFAICT), but I have not investigated it more than that. And, yes, it's a pain...

    I cannot really say much about the Volla and Fairphones as I don't have any (too expensive, even second user) in comparison to the ones I have mentioned. But as they are well supported and commercially available with UT installed they are well worth looking at. I upgraded all my Xiaomi Mi A2 to Focal - they are a good device, but a tricky install.

    @ChromiumOS-Guy said: @nbdynl before i continue, append this to camera / location and if possible networking as well. we want a one time approval option, as well as foreground only. only system apps (like Phone app) should be eligable for background access for services microphone/camera by default, devision as follows: only phone (the app) has background access to microphone by default camera should not be accessible on background by default. (any app) location should not be accessible on background by default (any app) networking should not be accessible on background by default ,push notifications goes through a push server so not affected if im wrong this can be ammended (any non system app) It would be nice to have an explicit permission for apps that need to run in the background all the time, even if it's something that makes it require review. There are a number of apps that only work properly when unsuspended, or by using an unconfined background daemon. Would be good to converge on a single permission for them.

    I've taken the liberty of packaging Lagrange for Ubuntu Touch. Lagrange uses its own completely custom C-based UI stack built on top of SDL/OpenGL, which means that while it runs fine, the keyboard does not work out of the box on Ubuntu Touch. The UT package has a patch that 1) enables the keyboard and 2) packages it as a .click. There are still some issues with the keyboard and integration with the system. Namely: Clipboard does not work. Keyboard still has some weird behavior on textboxes that aren't the URL bar. You cannot edit text in the middle of them, for example. No integration with content hub. No integration with URL dispatcher (i.e. cannot open gemini links in Lagrange). I think most of these should be solvable. I will continue working on it and see what comes out. You can find Lagrange here: https://next.open-store.io/app/fi.skyjake.lagrange/

    @kaktux Hi, A lot of effort has been made to upstream Lomiri to Debian. So I think it may be the way to go for you. The following command is to use on Debian Sid/Trixie: apt install lomiri lomiri-desktop-session lightdm Source: https://ubports.com/lomiri

    @mango Divide into groups based on needs is a good idea. Assign a rank # to all you mentioned. My version of list starts with: Group 1: need voice calls - with VoLTE (required in some countries now, and many more in future). USABLE on 4 or 5 phones as of today ? Have not tried it enough to say 'mainstream ready' or not. Group 1a: Voice calls over Wifi (Rural areas, etc). Hope you don't need it. NOT supported by UT. Group 1b: VOIP to PSTN. Please tell me how to set this up (see 1a, above) other groups ? Your list... BTW: Libre office snap installs directly - no need for Libertine. Use wireless external display direct to TV (IF TV supports Miracast. Many LG TV's do). Limit 1080P, even on a 4K TV, due to Wifi speeds, or something. Wired external display would be nicer, but it seems NOT many older phones that UT currently runs on support it. (if Oneplus 8 gets UT port, I think it supports wired ext display). Wired keyboard & mouse through USB-C expansion adapter with PD charging (Acasis $10) operational.

    @uxes That is a great program, but I heard that ATL relies on GTK. Which is not integrated into UT. And besides, list of supported apps is limited compared to Waydroid.
