@jojumaxx about your first question, how about the standard way of deleting stuff in UT, swipe to the right and (normally) a red trash icon is displayed) ? about your second question, here is a screenshot on my device: add to places works fo me! [image: 1778766057725-addtoplaces.jpg] AFAIK you have to be IN the folder you want to add.

@hlbkv You could try the installer (leave the option to delete user data to its default value, unchecked).

@Privacy-freedom You need to gain a bit more experience to create a .conf file properly and ensure it works as intended. Don’t forget to make copies of your working settings. AI can also be helpful.

@AdFundum yes, it was a bug! i reported it to the webmaster and it got fixed immediately

@bunt7 You can find a workaround script, for Network connectivity jump here: https://forums.ubports.com/post/95548

you need to go to settings and set your usb to tethering ....there is your internet connection it should just work when you plug it in and connect ...if im understanding you correctly?

@projectmoon ..... WTF, it wasnt there but now it is!! Luckily I took a screenshot of when it wasnt there. How do I share images on the forum?

@Stefano Hello! I've had my phone for a few years now, but it's been sitting in the drawer for a while. I couldn't put the Ubuntu system back on from the Flyme system. But now I finally did it and thanks to you I now have the "latest system" on it I'm happy now! Thank you very much! It's true that it won't be for everyday use anymore (I'm using a 6-year-old Huawei Mate 40 Pro Plus on it), but I'm glad that I managed to put Ubuntu on the Meizu

Changing the DNS server solved the problem

Since this is not a device question, I will move it to Support and mark it as a solved question.

@arubislander yeah i was just double checking cause you know? idk i just didnt want to be rude lol but thank yeah ill drop it eventually rn im working on a esp32p4 project

@aimar I sync notes between my phone and my computer this way. Syncthing from the open store to syncthing on a Xubuntu computer. Works well, but I have to manually run Syncthing from time to time to do the sync, as I don't want to try running it continously on the phone.

@idonthatevests said: Patches that implement repository switching mechanism for system updates have been suggested a few months ago but gained no attention. Same with mirror hosting proposals. strictly speaking no patch is really necessary to switch repos, since none of the systems involved (ubport.com, gitlab.com, github.com) has dnssec enabled, so if the device is tricked into following a different server, it will work just as well. By definition if the server don't use dnssec, there is no way for the client to test it. Lying DNS servers are evil only if the users don't know. Many Linux users already use fully knowingly lying DNS servers (PiHole for example) Concretly, the lying DNS server could be setup at local Wifi level by each user wanting to use a mirror. So the only hard requirement is an agreement for mirroring since this consumes bandwidth, and possibly some Api for the store (not sure about that). Where are the mirror hosting proposals you are mentioning ? I follow this forum since nov 2025 and I don't recall having seen something like it.

I've figure it out that entering 'selection mode' with a long press is precisely what I was looking for. Would still be useful to somehow start the terminal on selection mode and hide the 'Exit selection mode' option
