    @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.

    @alan_g said in How to launch GUI apps from CLI?: @nikalon you have to "trick" Unity8 into allowing the application to connect. I have not tried it recently, but something like this... https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/mir-devel/2015-September/001267.html Yes! That works, thank you! For anyone who wants the answer you have to append the paremeter --desktop_file_hint=unity8 or -- --desktop_file_hint=unity8 to a regular binary you want to open. This is the syntax: ./application -- --desktop_file_hint=unity8 Unfortunately the game crashes because of some OpenGL problem that I don't know how to solve yet: library "/vendor/lib/egl/libGLESv2S3D_adreno.so" not found ----- Initializing OpenGL ----- Initializing OpenGL subsystem Using 8 color bits, 24 depth, 8 stencil display shutting down: Unable to initialize OpenGL (glAccum) idRenderSystem::Shutdown() Shutting down OpenGL subsystem Sys_Error: Unable to initialize OpenGL (glAccum) shutdown terminal support But that's an unrelated question that I should ask elsewhere.

    @bq10_user can you try putting your device in bootloader mode and adding --bootstrap parameter to the command you're already using?

    @alexander Xda forum has info on how they unlocked the bootloader for pro5. Maybe there is more info on there. Also it depends on your comfort level.

    UT audiocast distorted on M10 HD tablet

    Today I tried to listen to the latest Wayne and Joe audiocast using my M10 vivid tablet. Again the audio was distorted by a terrible vibrato. I then tried listening via the UT browser on the tablet. Still the distortion persisted. I then tried listening via firefox on my netbook and the audio was fine. Do other UT M10 tablet users also have this problem? Someone previously suggested that this may be an android audio driver problem. BTW, I don't have this problem with ogg, mp3, mp4, youtube, etc. If it is an android audio driver issue, is it likely to be updated in the future?

    @markalexa What this means for you, if you really don't want to go back to Android, and the camera function is important to you, is to "downgrade" back to 15.04 until OTA-5 comes out.

    @ayenack you're welcome. The necessary first step to port UT is to port it to Halium, and there's some WIP on some Motorola models as you can see here https://github.com/Halium/projectmanagement/issues?utf8=✓&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+motorola but if you want a UT device now, yes it's better to buy a supported device.

    I have the OnePlus One running UT and when I installed, there was no issues, as I did not select the wipe option either. Phone calls have been working fine and the only issue I found was not being able to close the calls and when the other user ended the call, there was a loud beeping sound. It is good that you have now sorted the issue out.

    @isolated-thinker If your OPO was on 15.04 the only way at the moment to get 16.04 is to use the installer and choose 16.04 dev from the options list and choose the wipe option for the best install. Yes all your info etc will go, so you will need to take a back up of your device first. You have currently updated to the dev version of 15.04 from what you say. You can stay where you are on 15.04dev if you are happy with it and you will at somepoint in the future be able to update to 16.04 directly. However the time scale for that is not set in stone at present and is at least a few weeks away.

    Picking up on and adding to what @lakotaubp said: Could you go to the wifi settings then tap on 'Previous networks' and delete everything there except the AP you want to connect to at home? I'd be interested to know if that makes any difference at all for your situation.

    Hopefully, as time goes on we will be able to add more and more phones to that list and give people the chance to put UT on more up to date phones. I personally have a S5 that I would like to put UT on. Not that the S5 could be classed as an up to date phone any more, but still would be nit to put it on there.
