    @hlbkv gnome software can handle debs and flatpaks (and on Ubuntu also snaps I think). The app itself is a deb, so it is not surprising that it can be installed. The apps that end up being able to be installed with it are probably also debs.

    Just an update, I gave up on trying the KDEConnect workaround. I did some deep investigation on resolving the issue within Waydroid itself, and documented my progress. It's definitely a feature-request in Waydroid. https://github.com/waydroid/waydroid/issues/211 I haven't done any more work on it for a while, since my last post on github. There are a few libs being used in Waydroid, which I linked to, which have sparse documentation. I don't have deep enough knowledge of these languages and platforms to be able to fix this easily - not to mention android's workflow for builds. Wasn't able to do a build of LineageOS on my PC; some incompatibility with package versions. It'd be nice to resolve this for everybody who uses Waydroid, but IRL is taking priority for now.

    When you uninstall an Android app (that removes the app in the android container), the corresponding Ubuntu Touch icon on the app scope will still be there and needs to be removed manually (for now?). Those are stored in /home/phablet/.local/share/applications/ and IIRC all Android apps starter files begin with anbox (or was it android or apk?; you'll get it once you see it ).

    @haveaniceday said in Encryption and vpn: What do you think? Do you know how we can receive a passphrase during boot time via user interaction? PostmarketOS uses OSK-SDL to accept encryption password input on touchscreen devices during startup. If you're good with C++, you might have a look at the code on Gitlab. I'm still slowly working my way back into coding after many years of only scripting and am sadly not up to the challenge of seeing how that could be integrated to the Ubuntu Touch boot process. Bear in mind that even if you can unlock a crypt on startup, integrating this into the UBPorts installer is going to be another large challenge. @haveaniceday said in Encryption and vpn: Maybe those files are what you are looking for: https://github.com/ubports/unity8/blob/xenial/qml/Components/PinLockscreen.qml https://github.com/ubports/unity8/blob/xenial/qml/Components/Lockscreen.qml Thanks, I'll take a look. Maybe it's not too hard to integrate a counter there and link to a shutdown or nuke script.

    Please dont touch the bootloader, this will brick your device for sure - the splash screen is in a separate partition for all devices I know, so that should never need to touch the bootloader itself.

    @Eryk-Michalak you need to get rid of Android before using that tool (the UBports installer), that's why you need to follow those special steps I linked you earlier.

    Nexus 5 Instability

    @Stefano I wish. A refund wouldn't have been enough. The repair was $20 (I already had the board out, I just took the button and board in and had it soldered), and was "no warranty/guarantee" for the repair. Needed a new phone after that, and $20 wasn't about to buy a newly working Nexus 5. So I ended up buying a Pixel (which was another adventure in suffering), after which the suffering led me to getting an HTC 10. So now I just use the N5 for testing UT stuff, but without network or bluetooth. @ChaoticBeard It seems like that could happen, if the button is getting stuck in the "pressed" position somehow. It's possible there could be a software issue, but whenever someone posts one of these threads, it always seems hardware is most likely cause.

    @Ingo said in Wireless convergence on FP2 : black screen: Now the only problem is that it's not really sharp. Like the resolution is somewhat off or so. I think the output resolution is limited to 720p, which may be much lower than whatever your displaying it on. And indeed, xrandr will not work on UT, as we use Mir, not Xorg.

    New OnePlus One Issues on Fresh Install

    @boygenuis said in New OnePlus One Issues on Fresh Install: debug: Error: Command failed: adb -P 5038 shell echo 1 error: device unauthorized. Device Unauthorized means that your phone forbids adb access. You have to solve that by enabling developer mode (the usual 7 touches on the kernel version, was it that one) and then allow usb debugging, and optionally also allow OEM unlocking the bootloader. then disconnect/reconnect the computer, you should get a popup to allow access for this machine. click OK and you should be in. As long as adb devices shows error messages, you don´t need to try start installing UT.

    @advocatux I tested everything expect GPS so maybe it's broken, but as I said I planned to use my watch for workouts and navigation anyway so it's not a big deal to me. Thanks for your time!

    Hello Catalyst, To my opinion this is a quality device worth fixing. I bricked my E5 phone twice and the first time i sent it back for repair to BQ. It was almost as expensive as buying a new one but they made the thing like new. They even renewed the old Ubuntu-version and the battery as far as i know. So yeah, i say fix it (and learn to not trash it again)

    Some newbie questions

    Posteo calendar works now. Thx! I dont know why it didnt work before. @Loops said in Some newbie questions: Dash etc: You can download Ubutnu Touch Tweak Tool (UTTT) from the open store and mess around with all kinds of settings etc. with that app. Ok. Thx. I will try that. @Loops said in Some newbie questions: Roadmap: There was one but I think they felt it was giving false hope to people that saw it if the features on there were not implemented in time so it was removed, I think you will now only get a next OTA milestone. I think thats a bit sad. I didnt care much about the time schedule. Its ready when its ready, but this way you always knew what is coming. @dobey said in Some newbie questions: Scopes will be going away when new Mir/Unity8 can be included. It's replaced by the app drawer which slides out from the launcher, and is semi-transparent. Scopes are going? Okay. I didnt know that. By the way who develops unity further? Only UBports? @dobey said in Some newbie questions: When the app is running, open the launcher panel, and long press (or right click) on the app's icon, then choose "Pin to Launcher" in the popup menu. @dobey said in Some newbie questions: Anbox support will be included by default when it's ready (this means there will be a one-click install to download the image, and the kernel requirements will be enabled by default). Okay, sounds good to me. @dobey said in Some newbie questions: There's no alternate keyboards, but you can enable layouts from other languages in settings. I know that. The english space bar is a little wider still I gladly would get rid of those ".com" keys I dont need. Thank you, guys.
