    @developerbayman Unfortunately i didn't get time to make it a click, but for me literally everything worked from opening roms and also fullscreen. If you have time I think making a click out of it will be better investment of time and also as retro arch as touch support by default you will be able see touch controls as well

    Hi everyone I've tried to setup a shared folder between UT and waydroid so I can easily and quickly share files without using the terminal. I want to be able to use easily this share folder in the graphical app Files of Ubuntu Touch. I've kinda followed this link : https://docs.waydro.id/faq/setting-up-a-shared-folder So i have first created two directories : ~/shared and ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0/shared Then I have done the commands : sudo mount --bind ~/shared ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0/shared sudo chown phablet:phablet shared phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ ls -l | grep shared drwxrwxr-x 2 phablet phablet 4096 juin 7 01:04 shared phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ It only works for one file, then the permissions automatically change to 1023 and I'm not authorised to continue sharing files : phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ ls -l | grep shared drwxrwxr-x 2 1023 1023 4096 juin 9 23:14 shared phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ So I have to do the chown command again for every file... Furthermore, if I check the id command then I don't see which user is 1023 : phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ id uid=32011(phablet) gid=32011(phablet) groups=32011(phablet),4(adm),5(tty),20(dialout),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),105(systemd-journal),1001(radio),1002(bluetooth),1003(android_graphics),1004(android_input),1005(audio),1013(android_media),1015(sdcard_rw),1021(gps),2001(android_cache),3002(android_net3),3003(android_net),3004(android_net2),9997(android_nvram) phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ And finally if I reboot UT I have to also re-do the mount --bind command... I would like to make this shared folder persistent without having to re-do those commands every time, any ideas ? Thanks

    @Moem said in General GPS Query: Ubuntu Touch (that's what the OS is now called) Yes, Ubuntu Touch, haha. The phone thing got stuck as I used to read about it when it was still with Canonical. @Moem said in General GPS Query: most definitely does not use A-GPS. If that's a worry you have, I would say that's a reasonable thing to worry about but you can stop now. Whew! Thank you for confirming. I couldn't see it in the code either. Not using A-GPS is definitely privacy freedom.

    @dln949 Unfortunately, there are only a few that actually implements proper notification. Only TELEports, Fluffychat, Telegram webapp that explicitly says it does supports it,and Dekko are the ones that I know. Web notifications are not yet supported so most webapps won't even have notifications even if you let them open. Pesbuk has some sort of hackish notification support if you don't let it suspend but not sure if it still works

    @ubuntumale said in Second/burner phone number on UT?: a second phone number With my operator, there is an option to have a second phone number on the same SIM for two euros per month. Maybe for you too ? eSIM Not currently supported by UT. It should but I don't know if there is any work in progress on this with focal.

    well my intention of the questions is not "to be invisible" but to know on which layers are the security and the visible options, that is, to know that if I disconnect the gps from settings, that an app cannot turn it on. I have to document myself before making any app, I understand that it is something normal being an "open" system compared to android or ios.

    @andrew907 I don't know what the problem was, probably an issue with limited memory, but I reworked my code to rely primarily on offline audio contexts. Morph is still giving me the error messages about stopping and starting timers from another thread, but it's also generating the music as expected based on my preliminary test. Very slowly, but we can chalk that up to the hardware rather than Ubuntu Touch, because the ram use spikes above 90%. We can mark this issue as resolved.

    @rbarclay said in Ongoing, automatic backups: syncthing sounds interesting for keeping some files/folders, well, synchronized The main purose yes, but also, you can use it like a saving service, with only one device that is the "master" and another the "backup" (only filed from the master will be cloned on the backup, not the other way). Also, it works not only on local network, you can use it with internet access (so you can save on your backup wich is at home, when master not at home). Anyway, i just mentionned it so you know about it, i seems your skills are way above mine in using Linux possibilities, and syncthing is more for people like me lol.

    @elcaset Yes, use the installer but make sure you tick the option to wipe data to remove all your friends stuff. As was mentioned above you don't need to reload the stock android for your device if it already has UT on it. Sometimes things go a bit.'off' with UT and you may notice some 'strange behaviour'. Quite often a reinstall without the wipe option cures the problem.... and maintains your precious data. Welcome to the wonderful world of UT. Enjoy

    I was able to get an always-on-vpn using crontab. Warning I haven't tried to find a way yet to turn it off, so if you need to turn off your VPN from time to time, I don't have an answer yet. *Make sure to make your terminal Read/Write during this whole process. It's Read-Only by default. I used the UT Tweak Tool to do this. I used this script (https://www.gabsoftware.com/tips/automatically-reconnect-to-your-vpn-on-linux/) as a template to automatically reconnect to my VPN when it turned off. I used this terminal command with my VPN turned on, nmcli c show --active | grep vpn, to find out my personal MyVPNConnectionName and my UUID number. I also replaced sleep 30 with sleep 5, but that's just a personal preference. After replacing MyVPNConnectionName and the UUID number in the script with your personal VPNName and UUID number, I recommend copy/paste the script into the terminal and let it run, toggle off your VPN and see if it toggles back on automatically. If it does not toggle back, then you'll have to go back and correct the script, whatever that correction may be. Personally, it didn't work for me the first time, because I had deleted the "" around "MyVPNConnectionName" and had to go back and re-add them. I then used this website (https://linuxhandbook.com/run-shell-script/) to save the script. This website says to make a scripts directory (mkdir scripts) which I did not do. Making a scripts directory probably won't have any affect on this, but I can't say for sure, because I didn't do it. If you do make a scripts directory, cd into scripts or whatever you named your scripts directory. For this example I'll refer to the directory as scripts. When you type cat > vpn.sh (I'm using vpn.sh, you can name it anything you want as long as it ends in .sh) into the terminal, the terminal will look like it's "thinking" but this is where you copy/paste your working script into the terminal. After I hit Ctrl+D to save it, my terminal closed, but it did save. When you reopen the terminal, make sure it's Read-Write if you didn't use the UT Tweak Tool. Then make the script executable in the terminal by typing in chmod u+x vpn.sh (make sure you cd into the scripts directory if you made one) I then typed chmod 755 vpn.sh (I don't know if this did anything at all, but I did it, this may not be necessary) Test the script (if you made a scripts directory cd into scripts) type bash vpn.sh into the terminal to activate the script and toggle off the VPN to see if it turns back on automatically. Hit Ctrl+C to clear the script. To make this script turn on automatically all the time, type crontab -e into the terminal. Pick 1 nano <---- easiest and hit enter. If you've never used nano don't use your fingers to scroll down. Long-press the hamburger menu at the top left side of the keyboard and pick Scr. Swipe left on the top of the keyboard next to hamburger menu till you get to the scroll buttons and use those to scroll down to the bottom of the crontab directly below the last #. There type in @reboot /home/phablet/./vpn.sh if you made a scripts directory, type in @reoot /home/phablet/scripts/./vpn.sh Long-press the hamburger menu again and choose Nano. Then find Ctrl+X and press it. Then hit y then enter. Then hit enter again, and it should take you back to the normal terminal. Reboot your phone After reboot, before I unlock my phone, I get a VPN error notification. After I unlock my phone with the passcode this notification goes and my VPN turns on automatically. Even when I relock my phone, the automatic VPN continues to work just fine. Remember, as of right now, I cannot turn off my VPN, I haven't tried to find a way either.
