    @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.

    Apparently OnlyOffice works fairly well on small screens. It's webbased, so in theory one could probably make a UT app for it based on their electron(?) based desktop app or alternatively connect to their cloud version with a mobile browser.

    I have had days where it seems to drain quicker but recently it has been very good on my OPO. It's at 75% after 8.5 hrs with a few calls texts and web etc. Completely switching off can help reset things but don't use many other devices these days to comment on those.

    I have read that Apple devices are supposed to work nice together, and maybe other devices are not so important. Eventually, I would like to get moved onto an Ubuntu or FreeBSD computer. I've had this iMac since new 2007. Thanks for the reply.
  • Edit VPN settings file

    I edited the file that was created specific to the VPN server I was using. After you navigate to the file as described in your post, type at the prompt: sudo nano filename "filename" will be that file name specific to the VPN server that was created. Change my generic "filename" to your specific filename. My VPN uses alot of servers in various places and I have to modify each Terminal file created if I want to use them. After you type that, you will be prompted for your password. I type in the password and press enter. Then I press enter again and the file appears using the editor app "nano". To the left of my Terminal screen near the bottom there are control keys that include an option to use "nano" specific keys. The option menu appears as three rows of horizontal short dashes stacked on each other. Press this, and while holding it down, slide your finger on the screen to select "nano" at the top. This will give you the control keys you can use for nano. I just use the control-x key to save and eventually exit. Follow the directions on the screen after your selections. It was described elsewhere that you cannot use your VPN editor to make changes after you save the Terminal file because it will write over the file and you have to start over. I did the VPN editor setup first, then the Terminal file mod and it has worked fine so far. You can use your finger on the screen to control the cursor. It took a little practice for me to get it right.

    The WebRTC test passes (no IP info given out) for certain servers with PIA VPN. There have been no connection issues. I used the VPN Editor app on Open Store and edited the system-connections file in Terminal as described elsewhere. The VPN still will not work with wifi, but I'm happy it works with the cell data part of the phone.

    Magically both, the old Canonical tg app and tg-cli, started working again downloading files and photos. Don't know why, but they do work again. Fine.

    @nobhobbor they are in the ubports installer, so it should be just as easy or hard to install on the OP3 as the OP1. Though after the install, it is harder to use with the fact that there aren't to many arm64 apps available, there's no openstore, hopefully we'll get it in the not to distant future, but that's not got anything to do with installing the OS, but installing applications on the OS. I'm assuming that's the miscommunication, however if I'm wrong then please correct me!

    @AppLee said in Google sheets: developped to work with chrome, I'm not sure it's W3C compliant. Morph uses QtWebEngine which is a fork of Chromium, so this is basically irrelevant. Though indeed it is not clear what @wdnp2 is trying to say here. It seems there is no webapp in the store for Google Sheets (or Docs), but they should all be accessible from the Drive, Mail, or Calendar webapps (since Google has links directly to such places on those web sites).

    Different operating systems store simple text files differently. If you are using linux, it will automatically create text files with "LF" (line feed). If you are on windows, it will create "CRLF" (carriage return + line feed). On Mac OS it will create "CR" (carriage return). So, on linux, you don't have to worry. On windows and mac you have to explicitly convert the text file to "LF". On windows for example, notepad cannot do that but notepad++ for example. In case you want to know more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRLF

    @utouchuser as @guru said it is provider specific. so something can be figured out, but will require a config file to update missing providers or specific needs. It can be tricky but probably doable.
