    @kristatos a diagnosis has been posted on gitlab A problem understood is half way to be solved they say. So there is hope that 24.04-1.4 will finally kill this beast.

    @UBportsNews I know that its not allowed to talk about devices, but I find it worth to mention this link to the devs: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/12216/eventual-port-for-a-pixel-9a/2 because irs a quite new device and a very high version of android. So maybe someone is inspired by this to make a real port out of it.

    @wally I have read more carefully your first post and I think we are stuck in the same step. At first I undertood you did not receive the SMS for linking the phone with the Xiaomi account. With all I have read lately I think I got the big picture. I phoned Xiaomi support and I heard them typing looking for a generic and unrelated answer that I had already found by myself. Not a very high service standard. For the SIM activation, MiAccount app sends a SMS. I checked with my carrier that esch try a SMS is sent (and of course, charged), alternatively, to a local mobile number and a local landline. I phoned these numbers and the former does not exist and the latter is disconnected or out of reach. I mailed Xiaomi asking about these numbers. I presume they will say that I must update MIUI, but I am reticent in case it makes more difficult to unlock the bootloader. If they do not provide another way or phone number to send manually the SMS, I think I will have no other option than to update hoping that the correct phone numbers are also updated.

    @Moem said: I tried to read your wall of text and failed. Always helpful, I invoked Saitan for you and got this: *** <begin Saitan reply> *** The author recounts a recent struggle to break free from Google‑centric services after 25 years of reliance. After discovering a “countdown” (likely a device lock or security deadline), they spent four months dealing with Verizon to obtain a bootloader‑unlock code. Once unlocked they realized they had very limited technical knowledge—only a basic junior‑high computer‑science background and familiarity with Termux. Their phone can make calls but has no mobile data; it only works on Wi‑Fi, and they cannot send/receive pictures. They seek step‑by‑step help to get data connectivity and to port the device to an open‑source platform (presumably Ubuntu Touch/UBports). They emphasize a strong desire to stay “de‑Googleed,” expressing frustration with proprietary ecosystems (Apple, Google) and a wish for community support. They mention upcoming home‑phone installation and a general feeling that this may be their last chance to get online. In short: they need practical guidance—especially via the terminal—to enable data on their unlocked device and complete the migration to an open‑source mobile OS. *** <end Saitan reply> ***

    @oldbutndy said: I frequently print things from Linux Mint (I am 'oldschool', and worked a few years at Xerox, on laser printers, starting about 42 years ago, so I 'expect' to be able to print from any system that is 'office'). I was NOT able to print from Office suite on UT. So, this issue feels like failure. The printing system is not included in the Ubuntu Touch images due to a lack of space for the root filesystem on many device models. Work is currently underway to be able to increase the size of the rootfs. This will enable numerous developments, such as concurrent support for Q5 and Qt6, the transition to mir2+mir1... and the integration of the CUPS printing system. So, it's coming, more a matter of months now than a matter of years.

    @steffend I understand now why my search for Pixel9a on the forum didn't get anything, it because of the space... and that's why I don't include it to make searching easier.

    @lsitongia I had missed the part where you said you were testing PR packages on the device.
