    @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.
  • Gallery app: problem with albums feature

    @hummlbach Just visited the link you suggested and was astounded by the by the complexity of the vision for the future of Gallery. It seems very ambitious and may take a great deal of effort to make it work reliably. I'm coming at this from my experience of using the Blackberry Playbook. The user interface is very smart and well thought out. The photo app is folders based which is very convenient for dealing with holiday and other event photos. I only resorted to the use of Albums on Ubuntu Touch as a workaround for the lack of a folders capability. I don't need flikr and face book etc. Maybe a good approach would be two separate apps: a simple photo app à la Blackberry for ordinary folk and a full blown gallery app for power users. This would have the advantage that the simple app could hopefully be realised as a subset of the pro version in the near term and then incrementally enhanced in the longer term.

    Thanks for your help. I got help in the Fairphone forum. I had to start the app in Linux with the sudo command in the terminal app. I recommend to update the installation instructions for UBPorts.

    @jérèm Right ok, Yes its Ubuntu touch first with SP Flash Tool. Please follow the instructions carefully, they are straight forward I did it with little tech know how but it can brick the phone. Then its UBports using the installer or which ever method works for you. Any issues just pop back. It is worth it when its done.

    @pulsar33 So far, I have continued to use the method I initially described whereby I copy the files to be transferred into .local/share/wifitransfer.sil and then use wifitransfer to move them from the tablet to the laptop. I didn't have the courage to try your suggestions as I felt that this would be taking me out of my comfort zone and I would be risking screwing up my Ubports system. For example, I didn't recognize "filezilla". The file manager on my laptop is nautilus. I use my tablet as a daily driver as it's more convenient for web browsing and messaging etc than my laptop. I'm typing this reply on my Ubports M10 tablet. Anyway, many thanks for taking the trouble to reply. Your suggestions were appreciated but just a bit too scary for me to be prepared to experiment with. You mentioned samba. I use samba to move files between my laptop and my desktop PC. I've no idea if samba is installed on my tablet. However, I've noted that the UT file manager crashes whenever I select the network option. That's what originally prompted me to try wifitransfer.

    @zacardec the codename of your phone is Arale. Clicking that as a "label" in "issues" I've found this list of bugs https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/labels/device%3A arale It seems the bug you're suffering isn't there. There's a French group in Telegram (https://t.me/UBports_French), maybe someone can help you there in your language.

    I figured it out, i needed to put the Android studio files in the system path. In the terminal I had to add a path to the adb file so I ran the command export PATH=$PATH:/Users/~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools . The ~ is whatever your username is. Then I launched the installer and like magic it worked.

    @riccardo-vidotto OK Have alook through the bug reports on git-hub, also join the telegram supergroup and ask on there. Sorry but other than doing a completely new install of ubports I have no more suggestions at present. Good luck it will get sorted somehow.!

    Hi All, It has been a while with no update here on my side, i do not consider the Pro5 usable anymore, especially professionally, and currently testing a Fairphone 2 and a Nexus 5 for which the signal is definitively better. In parallel, when time allows, i have slowly started looking into re-building Halium on Android 7.1 for Meizu Pro5... do not hesitate to ping if you are working on something similar Peace, Tera

    Not sure if I should post this here or start a new post as this is VPN-related but maybe a different problem. I’ve also been having difficulties getting VPN working correctly. However, the problem was different to what I’ve seen mentioned in this and other posts about VPN problems. My VPN provider is VyprVPN. First I tried setting things up using the standard VPN GUI, and it seemed to be working. After setting up the details in the GUI, and then flipping the switch, the switch turned green. However, opening a browser and navigating to a site that displays my IP address showed the IP address of my ISP and not my VPN proxy server, so clearly the VPN tunnel was not being used. I installed the enhanced GUI app of Pete Woods and tried using that, but the result was the same. So I resorted to the command line. I hadn’t used openvpn before, so before trying it on the phone I tried it on my Ubuntu 16.04 computer. Using the .ovpn file downloaded from the VyprVPN website, I was able to get the VPN connection working fine with sudo openvpn Config.ovpn on the computer, so I tried the same on my phone. Unfortunately, I got the same result as with the GUI. The connection appears to be established without any errors or warnings in the log, which finishes with ‘Initialization Sequence Completed‘, but checking my IP in a web browser gives the same result as above. Also, closing the connection in the terminal with CTRL+C reported a few errors when trying to delete routes, saying RTNETLINK answers: No such process, ERROR: Linux route delete command failed: external program exited with error status 2. After a lot of searching, I inserted the line ‘route-delay 5’ at the end of my config.ovpn file and this solved the problem. The forum where I found the suggestion didn’t give much explanation, so I am not sure what the exact problem was or why this solves it. I’m certainly no expert in openvpn. Sorry for the long post, but hopefully this may help anyone else having a similar problem or maybe the Ubports developers working on the VPN gui app. I can post log files if anyone wants.

    Ok. I have the installer talking to the phone. I have created a folder "c:\platform-tools" which contains adb and fastboot etc from google. I have copied the installer into the same directory and added the directory to PATH enviroment variable. Now when I run the installer it works as expected until I run up against a bug. The install now fails with an "Adb push error". I found the install log and the reason the push fails is because of a forward slash in the file name. I found the bug report and commit expected to fix it. I guess I'll have to wait until the next release of the installer.
