    @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.

    I think it's time to debug and nail this down. I found the file /etc/init/wpasupplicant.conf which spawns the WPA daemon as: exec /sbin/wpa_supplicant -u -s -O /run/wpa_supplicant I will mount the /root in this test device writeable and change the line to: exec /sbin/wpa_supplicant -dd -u -f /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log -O /run/wpa_supplicant to gather the debugging output in a file. Update: It's not necessary to mount /root writable. The proc init starts and re spawns that proc when it dies. With a bit of luck you can fire up these three lines from a shell script and get your version of WPA up before init can restart its own: #!/bin/sh pkill -9 -f '/sbin/wpa_supplicant.*' wpa_supplicant -dd -u -f /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log -B -O /run/wpa_supplicant exit The lines in the log files look promising...

    I can confirm that setting up a DavMail in server mode & using it as a caldav gateway to exchange works fine I've tried it on an f-droid only version of Android without Exchange provider Only tried caldav but no doubt the other gateways DavMail provides would work too If it works on android, no reason why it wouldn't work for UBPorts It'd be nice to have it on-device though, maybe DavMail could be repackaged in some way to provide the required Dav gateways to Exchange I know it's java based though, so might be too heavy to run in the background on a mobile device But it's a thought

    I've done the following steps and it seems to work for me: Charge the phone to 100% until there no charge indicator left Boot the phone to bootmenu (where you can select recovery, fastboot, etc.) Leave the phone in this bootmenu until the battery is empty (in my case this took 8-9 hours) Charge the phone until there is no charge indicator left After these steps my E4.5 lasts almost as long as it was new and the percentage shown in the power-management shows the correct values again. I hope this is a long-term solution.

    @gucu No sorry your device is not supported this is the current list of supported devices https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ Due to the nature of Ubuntu Touch each device has to be ported separately and takes a lot of work and effort. There should be other device available later in the year but no clear time scale yet.

    @stefano yes it is definitely annoying. I'll keep an eye on it and this thread in case I see something similar to your bug and I will report to you. Honestly, I'm not using the Pro5 that hard to be a 100% sure my device isn't affected.

    You could install such things in a libertine container instead. However, there are no USB serial adapter drivers built into the kernels on the images, so I guess you might not get very far with pyserial yet.

    Manpages in terminal?

    Thank you all for your reply; I'm so impressed with Touch. Definitely a keeper. @zubozrout said in Manpages in terminal?: Hi, you can always Google man pages for specific things when on the go, even narrow it down by distro and its version when searching. I had just spent about 45min searching for a ubuntu-app-launcher man page (saw and used the command in vid) before posting this; not convenient. @hummlbach said in Manpages in terminal?: If you want to have man pages in the terminal (which absolutely makes sense when thinking of convergence!) you could put them and man into ~/man respectively ~/bin manually and set the environment variable MANPATH or INFOPATH accordingly. Or make a click package for it which installs it to /opt/click.ubuntu.com/man.yourname/ and set PATH=/opt/click.ubuntu.com/man.yourname/current/bin and MANPATH=/opt/click.ubuntu.com/man.yourname/current/man or whatever in ~/.profile... That would be cool, I would install it too! @dobey said in Manpages in terminal?: @hummlbach Or, simply install them in libertine and access them inside the container. Yep, definitely going for the computer in a pocket; I'm absolutely going to implement 'man' with or without the continuation of the precedent :0] Thank goodness this OS makes that possible. Thanks for the tips. Thank you all for your time! Good to meet you.
