    I normally listen to Surf music on Spotify on my Android phone. But back a a long time ago, I had a pile of MP3s on my Ubuntu desktop and on an MP3 player to listen to while doing yard work. So I figured I'd try that experience again. Surf Guitar 101 does an annual CD compilation, where forum members can record and submit their own covers of surf instrumentals or do an original song. It's been going on since 2006. I downloaded 20 years worth of surf instrumental music to my Ubuntu desktop. Grabbed a USB A to USB C cable and figured I'd copy the files over. No joy. Started thinking about problem solving, then just decided to use a different cable. And MTP just worked out of the box. I put over 500 MP3s on my phone in a matter of minutes. Fired up the Music player app. And it worked right out of the box. I'll want to try connecting my bluetooth headphones for when I'm outside working, but this made for a very nice kitchen MP3 player while I was finishing up my bread. I broke my ability to send and receive MMS messages, but hey - music is working!

    It seems that progress has been made recently in the use of mir2.2 within UT. In addition, the migration to Qt6 is also progressing nicely. Once these two components have been finalized and integrated, can you briefly describe the benefits for developers, users, and more broadly, the entire UT/Lomiri ecosystem?

    Good news: Now that Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.2 is out, you are able to install Docker without --devmode!

    Hmm, bin weiter aber weit weg vom Ziel: sudo snap install firefox hat funktioniert sudo snap install thunderbird hat funktioniert Die Ergebnisse sind leider unbrauchbar. Bei firefox sieht es genauso aus, wie beim ersten Versuch über libertine. Nach Start der icons passsiert auf dem Bildschirm "Nichts"[image: 1771599354837-screenshot20260220_154820631-resized.png] Bei thunderbird ist zumindest zu erkennen, dass irgendetwas passiert, aber das gestartete Fenster bleibt leer. [image: 1771599425613-screenshot20260220_154633342-resized.png] Hat jemand eine Idee, wo ich jetzt suchen kann und welche Diskussionsgruppe (gerne auch auf Englisch) das interessiert?

    @Fizz said in VoLTE on Pixel 3a in Canada: Is there a list of phones that support VoLTE under UT? Since everything is in flux, this is the closest thing to that list: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/10889/working-volte-reports-share-your-experience

    @mirroronthewall Yes, this is surprisingly useful, as it means you don't always have to whip out a hardware keyboard, which defeats the point of the small form factor of a phone. Missing support for modifier keys is a big issue when using GUI apps in Libertine, as touch-to-mouse conversion often doesn't behave as it should and can get you 'stuck', so a fallback to keyboard shortcuts is just as necessary there as it may be useful in general: actually, your idea of creating macros for anything seems to solve many problems (including mine) at once, so congrats - now we just need to figure out how! The closest I've found is Ambot Installer: Hacks and Mods, although I need to set up a persistent amd64 QEMU instance on my arm64 laptop before I can allow myself to experiment with it freely (it's the only way I got the installer working). Other tools may be available but I have not been able to surface them yet, I will update this thread as I learn more about the issue and potential solutions. [UPDATE] Here is a list of interesting posts related to this problem, which may be a good starting point for building a bridge towards the solution: These are previous conversations on the repos which appear to have been abbandoned: https://github.com/ubports/keyboard-component/issues/96 gitlab.com/ubports/apps/terminal-app/-/issues/78 https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri-keyboard/-/issues/96 Instead, here are some useful links related to Malakiboard, which should be a good foundation to build macro functionality on: https://github.com/kugiigi/jerk-click https://github.com/kugiigi/jerk-installer https://github.com/kugiigi/jerk-packages

    @k.nacke Thanks for the proposal, I will first start to install (which will be the challenge like any first time For the 4G I will normally used my phone shared connection (bluetooth or wifi). But why not helping once my yearly trip will end. Shall I first start to initialize the tablet with its android, or can I start directly to flash and boot Linux ?

    @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.

    @idonthatevests Interesting. For what it's worth, I'm very confident that mine was glitchy before I ever installed uFirefox. I did have Ambot Installer for the more limited Lomiri toolkit, but I'm not sure whether ithas anything to do with that. Mine always seems to glitch out after notification/SMS. I always kinda figured something about my install was messed up, though I did install what I thought was the appropriate firmware and do the whole MSM&EDL mode thing. I mostly ignored this issue thinking that if it only affected my phone, it's not that important. But it'd be handy if we could pin it down.
