    @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.

    OTA5-RC camera issue N5

    I've noticed an apparent camera problem with my Nexus 4 running OTA 5. This surprised me as the camera issue was meant to be fixed in OTA 5. My problem was that photos taken by the rear camera were black. This puzzled me because the camera was working well enough to compose the photo. Further investigation revealed that the issue did not occur if the flash was turned off. I concluded that the problem might be caused by light from the flash being ducted to the lens via the flexible silicone gel phone protector. This had a generous cut-out for the lens/flash. To test my theory, I removed the gel protector and this completely cured the problem.

    I have in my daily driver E4.5 four mail accounts of different servers, all are of the typr IMAP+SMTP, and I just wanted to copy over via SCP all that config. In addition, the question of Dekko2 about the config of the account: Google....IMAP, POP, SMTP is a bit misleading and clumsy. All my accounts are IMAP for downstrean and SMTP for upstream, and not or

    I flashed with the tool 16.04 into my BQ E4.5. Two observations: Against what is shown in the video, I was not asked to press any buttons on the device. After detecting the device correctly as BQ E4.5 and already downloaded some parts, it raised an error, something "like device not detected"; luckily I marked "ignore" and it seems that OTA-15 is installed fine.

    @touchyfeely someone [*] got to run an old version of Firefox in a 15.04 Libertine container, but it seems there's an upstream bug for Firefox in armhf still if you want to do it in a 16.04 Libertine container. [*] Maybe @UniSuperBox?

    I have the same issue using facebook in the morph browser, I just cannot keep track of where I was in my feed when clicking on a post to read it. It must just be a new facebook "feature".

    I to have always found turning the hotspot on for my OPO a pain. Most of the time it can take up to 7 plus attempts from the settings. I hardly ever can get it to activate via the notifications bar. With the latest releases it dors seem to be getting better but still not perfect by a long shot.

    @locamama Copy paste does work for me but can be tricky I must admit. I also have libreoffice installed in libertine via system settings Libertine setup. If I remember correctly I might have added suite to the end don't forget to restart after installing and refreshing X apps scope. Anbox is tricky and not recommended for daily driver. There is a specific section on through forum for that will add link later as on mobile now. Last one never tried will have a go though.
