    Not sure if the article is still valid for 24.04 noble. Tried it, didn't notice any difference. Then I discovered app UT Tweak Tool which seems more handy than typing config files. In 24.04 noble, is there any way, even programmatically, to increase or decrease the different text sizes individually, as well as increase and decrease the icon sizes separately from scaling the text(s)? The scaling in app UT Tweak Tool scales everything, causing some text in some apps not being visible if the scaling is big. The default text size is quite small. In desktop mode, it seems that the scaling is different, but if adjusted it adjusts the scaling even in non-desktop-mode. Somehow, it would be desirable to have two different text(s) and icon scalings, one for the device itself standalone, and one scaling when connected in desktop mode. Usually, there is one text size for WindowTitles, one for Documents, one for Interface, one for Monospace and then there is usually a TextScaling factor that adjusts all text sizes (fonts) without having to tinker with each one individually. Hinting and AntiAliasing is usually also part of what you can adjust.

    Any idea how accessing a samba share on another computer could be achieved in 24.04 (noble)? Does one have to install package smbclient in libertine default container noble, or the mentioned cifs-utils package? It seems that the file explorer does not offer connecting to a samba share (+ sign is greyed out). Using 24.04/daily channel on a Fairphone 4.

    Hello, I found out why it was not displaying the version to be installed. You have to click on "install" in order to see the version getting installed, then you select that and click "OK" to start the installation. But as a cautious person, not willing to de facto factory reset the device, I hesitated. Nowhere was it mentioned that there would be another page, where further settings could be made. I feel kind of silly for this, but at the same time it seems like an oversight in the Installer, that you cannot see how many option pages there will be before you actually commit on installing anything.

    I did not try your method yet, however I debugged the problem in my method. It's something (I guess Lomiri itself) that is sending a signal when the window is paused while switching. It is killing xev. The fix is to use TweakUT to keep the terminal awake, then my method works whatever the launch mode (direct > or with starting a new task &>) So I could repro the problem you have seen. No discrepancy here. I have looked a bit at Firefox and Chrome under vanilla Linux (Kubuntu 24.04) and xev reports something very different than under UT. That is, no strange events, basically the system reports the menu being created and mapped and that's all. I have also 'packaged' a recent version of Firefox freshly downloaded from the editor's site, that is, I did env GDK_DPI_SCALE=2 MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 DISABLE_WAYLAND=1 ./firefox and the menus in the top bar display (if no scaling were done, I'd guess that the menu would display if by a stroke of luck I could hit the minuscule screen area) So my guess is that's not a clever packaging trick, that's something that Firefox is doing differently than Chrome. I searched for a Chrome Linux arm64 build but it seems that Google has insufficient resources to generate arm64 Linux builds (it's not a joke, it's exactly what is said by a Google employee in the Chrome issue tracker). I'd say that as under UT Chrome and Firefox are hitting XWayland that is hitting Mir, the problem could be all the way down to Mir. The version of Mir in current 24.04 UT is woefully outdated. When it will be updated, the way forward will be to switch to Wayland anyway and drop XWayland.

    That was the old UI and doesn't exists anymore. You can modify the code if you're familiar with QML/JS. Or you can download home screens app like Launcher Modular from the store but those acts like a normal app. You also can't disable the Launcher (left side bar) since it is integral to the overal design. May I know what you're trying to achieve and why the current Launcher and App drawer isn't enough?

    @uwahl I understand your concern but that is sadly not related to my post I'm talking about the virtual touchpad when connected to an external display.

    @developer there are some freedesktop standards we need, also flatpak integration, outside of that we need eSIM support and way way better waydroid support. outside of that we need a waydroid compatibilty chart for every major banking app in every country we also need guides to what messanger has what feature supported natively and how to set it up. also we probably want to make a public transport app and start supporting every single country we can. we also need sms forwarding (i remember people asking about it in the forums) a secure wallet for NFC, so someone needs to expose the treble APIs for hardware backed encryption so we can store credit card NFC tags safely. (to please the google/apple pay users) and much much more. we need to compile every UT feature and aspire to feature parity with vanila android (not the apps just pure android) i'd make a full comparison chart but i dont have the time

    @MrT10001 I don't quite remember what the installer did when I flashed my phone (happy memories... not ) but from browsing v2/checkDownloads.ts I'd say that the installer is saving stuff in a sub-directory called 'download' from the current directory when it was launched.

    I thought the Oneplus Nord N100 already had VoLTE support though?
