    @projectmoon The main problem that currently prevents using Wayland for electron apps, is that the On-Screen-Keyboard cannot work with GTK+Wayland+Mir1.x . By the way the Merezhyvo Browser ( popriatary app ! ) is an electron app using Wayland, but it has found it's way around this problem by coding it's own OSK inside the app itself, which is not really a way I want to go. (Especially for Signal because I want to modify the code only as strictly necessary, and also because for Signal there are other problems when it comes to using it in Wayland mode with Mir1.x). Anyway I've already tried it (see in the Signal UT topic), and reallu the best is to wait for Mir2.x, I hope it won't be in too long.

    @pavejon have you enabled the "less secure apps" option in your google settings? https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en or if you use two factor authentication you can get an app specific password instead and use that to authenticate.

    @advocatux, Many thanks for the link. It looks like we still have to wait some time before we can take pictures with the selfie stick. In other words - be patient

    @635834 said in Notes app on OnePlusOne mobile phone (OS ubuntu): Surely when I get a reminder I should get a buzz and a permanent visual reminder (which I would have to delete)? Hi, that's how reminders should work for sure. Unfortunately I don't know if it's an easy fix because AFAIK there's no Notes app maintainer currently. I'll forward your suggestion to those I think (maybe) can help to solve the problem.

    @guru Agreed. I did save the original hosts file so it would be easy to restore the file and set the filesystem to read-only before doing an OTA. But that too isn't a guarantee, I realise it's a bit of a gamble.

    I'm pretty sure that the installer does not touch the partition layout. Remember Android is weird. I wouldn't be surprised if some devices/bootloaders have specific expectations about the partition layout these are embedded devices. If the bootprocess is severly messed up, you can't exactly put the hard disk into that other device and fix the partitions So, while I guess it is possible to make cache smaller, I am not gonna try on my device and I'd caution you to do so! Now to the aspect of "I'm running out of space" due to tinkering with libertine, ... well you still have some 6GB to through around, not huge, but not nothing either. If you run out of space, rather than doing acrobatics with partition sizes you want to look into acrobatics with bind mounting

    You could try and if it works document it here https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/libertine.html I'd also try first with a symlink, but if that gives any problems, I would assume a bind mount should work. but then you have the additional challenge of having to reestablish the mount after every reboot. maybe it can be automated with upstart.

    Hey, I had the same problem (Nexus 5) and I think I know what is the cause for this problem. It is the same as @Bash-Horatio specified. The device has two identifiers: Google Android [0100] LGE Nexus 5[0232] Now, whenever the device is on fastboot it is identified as Google Android [0100] but when it moves to Recovery mode it is identified as LGE Nexus 5[0232]. Seems like the script is loosing the connection to Google Android [0100] right when the device is going to recovery mode. So, under VirtualBox you should go to Machine -> settings -> Ports -> USB. Check to "ON" the "Enable USB Controller" and "USB 1.1 (OHCI) Controller". On the right, there are small blue usb icons to add/remove usb filters. You should add two filters for each device identifier (i.e. Google Android [0100] and LGE Nexus 5[0232]). How? Connect the device when it is NOT in fasboot and add a usb filter (should be LGE Nexus 5[0232]). After having this filter switch your device to fastboot and then add a new filter (should be Google Android [0100]). Once you have two usb filters you can run the ubports. For non-VirtualBox I would say that you should disconnect / connect the device when ever your phone switched to Recovery Mode so the script will recognize the device with its new identifier (LGE Nexus 5[0232]). for me it worked fine after few hours of frustration... Hope it will help. A'aron
