    @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.

    SD Card Redmi Note 9S not detected

    @lakotaubp its 128 GB, formatted as fat32 (vfat). I haven't gotten the external drives manager to detect the card yet which is a shame. I made two little scripts and placed them in the home directory to mount and unmount the card under /media/phablet/<sdcardlabel>, then run them as needed in terminal (I don't know how to execute bash scripts by touch from file explorer). I also am unsure how to automatically run scripts as root at startup, but oh well. The sd card now shows up under file explorer (once the program is closed and opened again). The first: mount_sd.sh #!/bin/bash # run as superuser # Create mount location variable mntloc=/media/${SUDO_USER:-$(whoami)}/$(lsblk -I 179 -o LABEL | tail -n 1) # Make a mount folder, hopefully MAJOR id stays 179 mkdir -p $mntloc # Mount the sdcard! mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 $mntloc -o uid=32011 And the second: umount_sd.sh #!/bin/bash # run as superuser # Create mount location variable mntloc=/media/${SUDO_USER:-$(whoami)}/$(lsblk -I 179 -o LABEL | tail -n 1) # Unmount the sdcard! umount $mntloc Note that I'm assuming there is only one inserted sd card which is why I can use tail to get the label. Also, I assumed the MAJOR id is 179...I don't know if this will be static across other phones or even over time, but I found it with lsblk | grep mmc and copied the MAJ column.

    @dwaret said in Xiaomi Redmi 4X boot loop: Now it's just stuck on the bootup screen the only thing I can access is fastboot I can't even get to recovery mode even if I used ADB to reboot into recovery it just stuck on the mi logo That's actually PERFECT! Fastboot means you can flash the Stock Xiaomi Android ROM and have a working phone again! Just use their official tool to do so : https://c.mi.com/in/miuidownload/detail?guide=2 But please make sure you flash the latest Stock Xiaomi Android ROM that's needed as the base version in order to be able to flash Ubuntu Touch afterwards!

    @arubislander Yes. I don't know why. Maybe the ~ symbol is not allowed with sudo and one has to use $HOME, or I made some other mistake. Anyway your command line works, I learned something useful, even if my basic problem is not solved: I restored the original file.

    @metty I haven't gotten that far, and I'm not yet able to use my passwords with Unix Pass on my Ubuntu Touch device, which currently forces me to always have two phones with me. Is there something I am doing wrong? I was able to initialize the program with pass, but I can't generate and save passwords. Its generating one but the list remains empty. Among many 'libtls-padding.so' errors. @stanwood You write: It is strongly not recommended to use apt to install software. (as it won't work and may brick your device) But back to the main topic. How do I do it? Even if it may brick my device. Better than no device. That would be the case if a such a simple thing like pass do not work on a ubuntu-phone.

    @cjengle Maybe something went wrong with your manipulations. Don't know where... Best thing is to reinstall UT without wipe your data. Then start again to remove Anbox as I described above.

    Your expectations are not matching the reality I am afraid... I think you are better off with one of the following options : Replace the screen yourself and keep the repaircosts low that way. Look for another OS to run on the phone like for example PostmarketOS/Mobian/etc.

    @tmsteph said in Hey ppl I can't get into recovery mode. Only Fastboot.: This is how the phone is showing up in device manager.... [image: 1639719606763-1087a78e-8134-4c6e-bda1-73f76bd09993-image.png] This usually means your EDL Mode Driver isn't the right one and you should install the correct one! Did the version of the Qualcomm Tool you posted did that for you too ??
