    @projectmoon The main problem that currently prevents using Wayland for electron apps, is that the On-Screen-Keyboard cannot work with GTK+Wayland+Mir1.x . By the way the Merezhyvo Browser ( popriatary app ! ) is an electron app using Wayland, but it has found it's way around this problem by coding it's own OSK inside the app itself, which is not really a way I want to go. (Especially for Signal because I want to modify the code only as strictly necessary, and also because for Signal there are other problems when it comes to using it in Wayland mode with Mir1.x). Anyway I've already tried it (see in the Signal UT topic), and reallu the best is to wait for Mir2.x, I hope it won't be in too long.

    VLC under Libertine question

    @prog-amateur said in VLC under Libertine question: Hello, I have installed VLC in a Libertine container. As it has been said, it is very difficult to click on buttons as the icons and characters are very small. I have an idea : why do not install a skin ? VLC has many skins, including "ftouch 1.00" or "WMP11_B -" which have large buttons, easier to use in touchscreen. I have downloaded them, but VLC asks for a path to pick them up, so please, do you know where to put my skins files ? Thank you very much. For information : my VLC Libertine path is : .local > share > libertine-container > user-data > xenial > .local > share > vlc Looking here https://www.videolan.org/vlc/skins.php I guess you have to add a skins2 folder at the end. Just keep in mind there is no hw acceleration for video playback via libertine, so the usefulness will be still very limited

    @lool_lauris You can try framacalc, it's a bit restrictive, but can be compatible with simple formulas.

    @MarkG_108 The feature is available, but each app is responsible to declare and to handle how the files can be openned. So I think MorphBrowser in this case doesn't tell the system that he can read HTM/HTML/... files. I don't know if there is an issue open for that but if you want it, you can check existing issues for MorphBrowser and if this one doesn't exist open a new one.

    @hackersnu Factory reset run installer with wipe. Reflash best android for Nexus5 then try again. I'm guessing no partion changes or encryption at anytime. Will have a think and get back later today.

    Can You Sideload Apps Onto Ubuntu Touch? (Wifi Randomly Not Working)

    You can install apps manually, but to use hash verification you'll also need the sha512 hash from the store. From your PC with the device connected to USB and Developer Mode enabled and authenticated, you can run: adb push *.click adb shell "(pkcon install-local --allow-unauthenticated *.click && rm *.click)" This will copy the click files you've downloaded to your device, and then install and remove them from the device.

    hi dobey, thank you very much for clearing this up! that said … bummer! actually, i got this phone only because i hoped, i could use it not as phone, but as a development tool. pretty much like a raspberry pi but with battery, cameras, screen, connectivity and sensors all in one nifty packet … but ok, if all hardware is only exposed to qt, that certainly will not work. : ( one question though: i have seen here on the forums, that there is a community dedicated to get ubuntu touch to run on raspberry pis … might there also exist something like this, but in reverse? like some sort of unix (cli/ssh would be perfectly sufficient) running on (and being able to fully leverage) phone hardware? in any way, again: thank you so much for helping me out! karl

    noobie OnePlus WiFi issue

    There is a bug report for this issue here: OnePlus One wifi switch after OTA6 #995 Specifically this comment: WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini One needs to enable developer mode in settings. Then connect with a device with adb tools installed. Then: adb shell Once you're in the shell: sudo mount -o remount,rw / That is to mount the root partition read/write. Now you can replace or edit the WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini file. The one mentioned in #995 was sufficient to get wifi working for me. Hope this helps

    @michal :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes: Good to know. In the link provided there are special code to enable or disable masking the number. Depending on your country you can use the same code to switch from hidden to visible or you can have a code to hide your number and another to reveal it. Glad your problem is solved.

    I have tried the 'sledge-hammer' approach: delete all email accounts, uninstall Dekko2, clear residual Dekko files in .cache and in .config, reboot, reinstall, re-set up one IMAP account, and ...... same situation! [This is all on a brand-new (one week ago) installation of UT on a Nexus 5.] PS Whilst rummaging through the file store I spotted folders relating to Evolution. Is this just some random hangover from Canonical's original ambitions, or is some version of Evolution available on UT?
