    @hankschwie hi mate, so at long last the latest update has sorted the reboot problem - this is version 280 of Ubuntu 24.04 as of 26/06/2025. I don't know about Fairfax phones but have a Gigaset GS5 which I used the Vollaphone 22 with new screen install. Phone works, Ubuntu works, and now Waydroid is back..... These folks are truly amazing

    TL;DR: use BTRFS or proxy the ZFS via NFS @RJDan said in zfs on Ubuntu touch: [...] better supported on linux, it seemed to be a clear win for zfs. Well, unfortunately that is not the case, ZFS is not supported without adding kernel modules via DKMS. That is because of licensing issues which prevent it from being built-in the kernel like BTRFS and EXT4. DKMS cannot work on Halium kernels as they are based on patched downstream android kernel. I thought FUSE was an option, but after trying to install it on my device I found out zfs-fuse is deprecated, and I couldn't make it work. So the only way is to build the kernel with patches for the ZFS module, beforehand. This is however very complex and I wouldn't recommend it. There is a workaround, to have a NFS/Samba as a proxy to the ZFS file system so that the UT device accesses the file system remotely. The more straight-forward approach is to change the file system to BTRFS, assuming it meets your use cases. If you only need snapshots and backups, you should be fine.

    This is a known issue and yes the workaround for now is to enable "save device info" which was the default prior the update anyway. There will be a fix so that rotation will always be saved.

    @uwahl said in UT filemanager preview rotated picture orientation issue: Anything I could do? You could start by checking if there is already an issue opened in the File Manager issue tracker (link can be found in the Open Store listing of the app). If there already is an issue opened, you can check if there is additional info that can be added. If you can code (or are willing to learn) you could jump in and try to solve the issue and open an MR when you have.

    @haagch said in Volla Quintus Update fails: I guess I'll mark this as solved even though going through RC is more of a workaround than an actual solution, because the update really should just work. Hi @haagch , This is the way to go. The forum is not a bug tracker. You had an issue someone helped you solve it. For reporting bugs it should be done in the Gitlab or Github dedicated to the proper project. Can be Ubuntu Touch, a specific app, a device specific issue, ...

    @kuuga What OS are you using for your host PC in the installation? If ADB cannot see the device, especially when the phone is in "fastboot" mode, with a windows host, this is probably because of missing google android drivers. On a Linux host, the command line tools from google should just work as-is after extraction. (In my bumbling around I used both.) Windows google-android driver: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb This guide below was extremely helpful for me, specifically the sections "Prerequisites" and "Unlocking Bootloader" since google's developer pages have so many dead 404 links. The other sections can be ignored if using UBPorts installer. https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-pixel-3a-sargo-unlock-bootloader-update-root-pass-safetynet.4443459/ Don't forget to downgrade your Pixel3a to Android 9 before running UBPorts installer.

    @MV said in SMS Group: I was looking for this topic and i find this 'old' thread. Is it possible to create group for SMS? If I try to create a group, it seems that the APP consider it as an MMS group that I'm not interested in because in this case the data-connection should be activated (and anyway it doesn't work). Is there anyone that a feedback or the situation is the same as posted the 9 June 2020? Thank you in advance afaik group chat doesn't exist in the SMS protocol. Or i missed something. You can broadcast sms to several users, but the answer will be on the sender contact thread.

    @journeyman09 Pegasus seems to target Android and iOS. So not a threat for Ubuntu Touch. But even if it were, you would have needed to install it yourself, or have run / installed a click package from outside the Open Store.

    I still can’t get wifi/bluetooth, even after using the Lenovo Software Fix tool to reset to android (where wifi/bluetooth work well on it) and started the installation again from the beginning. I still have the last image of UT flashed and followed the instructions well. (+ and the command fastboot format:ext4 userdata works correctly now, no need to format through the tablet) Maybe I should try to reinstall with ubports (hoping not to back again into the bootloop problem) or use another image ? (Maybe for some unknown reason, this image is problematic for me ?)

    @ikoz said in adjustable playback speed: t should be relatively easy with a script using ffmpeg, either in Libertine or bundled in an app. The following command should work: ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -filter:a "atempo=1.5" output.mp3 Thanks you so much! It worked! For anyone interested. I first installed ffmeg in the Libertine client. Looked for the mp3 file in the folder and used the following script to run the script in the libertine container: libertine-lauch -i CONTAINER-IDENTIFIER ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -filter:a "atempo=1.5" output.mp3 Really nice! And because of this I begin slowly exploring the power of Libertine!
