    @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.

    As I discuss this with myself, these are kind of my notes, so if someone else wants to try these may assist. I am not a programmer, software engineer or anything of the ilk. I can navigate clumsily round DOS commands and basic Terminal commands in Ubuntu and other distro's, so I am ahead in some respects, but an absolute novice with software! I have led a disciplined electrical and electronic fault finding hobby and job. I did in my younger days repair to component level, but have lost this skill, so I am relatively good at resolving faults. That's me, the main bit now: Moto E (2015) Surnia is a really cheap second user phone to buy, picked one up for £8 on eBay. It is only 8Gb and 1Gb of RAM, but the fact that it is so cheap, if I brick the device, I have not lost too much cash. Instructions on the linked forum page are good, but you still require some knowledge of the CLI and file ownership. Motorola bootloader is pretty much straightforward and Googling will show you what to do. To me that was the easy part. Ran the instructions from within the halium-install folder in Ubuntu 22.04, so not in TWRP on the device but on the PC. This was not abundantly clear to me, but trial and error got me past that faux pas. Forgot to ./(sh?) halium-install which would be nice to know so when running it use ./halium-install inside the unzipped halium install folder (doh.. I have used ./ and the sh command a lot when manually installing VBOX utilities pack in a virtual machine). I kept getting a permission denied error when running halium-install. So I googled fu'd and realised I probably didn't have ownership so took ownership with the chmod command: chmod u+x halium-install This resolved the issue and allowed the halium-install command to work. Then the phone showed up on desktop and not in adb. This causes the install not to be pushed to the device. Run: sudo adb kill-server sudo adb start-server This showed the phone up in the CLI (adb devices) After that the install went through fine, so I am now going to be messing with this device to see what is working and what isn't - there is a list, but I will have a play. I don't know if it will have any bearing, but I installed the prerequisites for the build environment from the UBports documentation - I think it must have as I got :35 :permission denied before hand when executing the halium-install and only permission denied after I installed all the dependencies. So I have muddled my way through this and got a successful install, a nice learning curve for me, which would be pretty straightforward to most Linux users.

    @keneda said in No space left on device: He did, and someone suggested to try directly on device ^^ That was a misunderstanding. The suggestion was to check if the relevant package was installed on the device not to check if the app would compile on device.

    I turned off my phone before sending dobey a UFW log file. (2022.06.11 europe) Since then I had considered whether I allowed this port myself. But I would rule that out 75% of the time. Is there no one else who uses UFW but me? I think listening ports or not. the purpose is certainly not in vain. I mean.

    @lakotaubp said in Dekko 2 incoming email: Though the app is not in the OS directly so each email account used in Dekko 2 would need password plus another verification for Google to except it, if I have that right of course. Can't say if you're right, because I don't actually have a gmail account myself. I haven't been aware of big G enforcing 2FA now. Though, I've seen gmail support pages explaining how to turn off "2-step-verification". What triggered my response was the fact that I've seen old, EOS phones having to be finally retired when mail providers tightened their list of accepted ciphers. 20.04 based UT will certainly stretch the live span of some phones (if not for gmail users).

    @lifeenjoyer69 Hello and welcome. Quick run through of the channels Edge- Dragons live here only for the very experianced devs Devel- Where the latest updates get tried out and tested You can expect the odd issue on this channel. Updated daily. RC-The last testing branch before a stable release Updated now when there are real changes that need testing. Stable- Good solid everyday usage channel. This will be updated on a cycle of on average 12 weeks. (There is a new update OTA-23 on Tuesday 28th June). This system is followerd throught the year so in effect they are on a continues roll out. So you will get updates on a regular basis. So if you want small daily changes try devel it is 80-90% without issue but can go down hard. One of the great strengths of Ubuntu Touch (the OS) is the UBports Community behind it yes a few dev do get paid but the vast majority of the work is carried out by volunteers and enthusiasts. It is a very supportive, helpful community and welcoming community whatever you plan on doing or how you use your UT device. That is point it is your phone do with and use as you want. Please have a look round and read through the Forum there is plenty of info and help here. The pixel 3a is a great device (I got one a few weeks ago) so the xl should be the same. Give it a go all the help and advice you need is here.
