    @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.

    In terminal I can start "docviewer" app with the command: ubuntu-app-launch com.ubuntu.docviewer_docviewer_2.3.567 but how can I add a path to my document in order to be opened directly by docviewer? In former versions this was possible. Any suggestions? Help is still appreciated...

    @keneda Thank you! Great! Somehow I missed this configuration menu item. And... it would be nice to make the field for entering the start password black, so never mind...

    @flohack said in [HowTo] Change the name of your device for Bluetooth pairing: We are aware of this problem and will try to fix it in upcoming releases. @kugiigi said in [HowTo] Change the name of your device for Bluetooth pairing: Is rebooting necessary for this to take effect? @flohack said in [HowTo] Change the name of your device for Bluetooth pairing: @kugiigi yes I think So i guess it's not fixed yet ^^ One question though : @flohack said in [HowTo] Change the name of your device for Bluetooth pairing: You need to type those commands on your PC in a shell window, not on the phone itself: Why can't it be done directly from the device using terminal?

    @doniks many thanks for this, on a mako the persist directory existed but the .macaddr file didn't. I created the file with a random mac and now the phone reconnects to wifi after a reboot.

    Ubuntu Touch with TWRP

    @markatrafik said in Ubuntu Touch with TWRP: How UBports can be installed on Redmi Note 7, if TWRP was previously installed on it? ubports does not install, it installs ubuntu touch OS. twrp is not an OS it's a recovery (something like a bios). Some device needs TWRP to run with ubports, some others not. They are mandatory things to do prior to run ubports instaler for any device. Your device https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/lavender/ needs androïd 9.0 vendor image if i refer to its device page, and you can install uTouch using ubports as you cans see on it. Anyway, like said by @Lakotaubp, you should search Note 7 subforum, and why not, post a new thread there for help. I don't know what exactly Redmi Note 7 need to run properly ubports, and it even maybe need twrp, but you issue a bug from ubports software, who knows... someone sure, but not me ^^

    By mistake I also took a F5321 today, instead of the F5121. I tried to install ubports, but no luck. After the manual selection of the model, the flash succeeded, but when rebooted, a black screen appears. Did you manage to install it?

    @ganzredmi4 Hi, same xiaomi 4X, just installed today. Had a first unsuccessful attempt with the same description of events as you. At the secound and successful attempt, i simply waited, quite long, for the device to finalize its complet setup. I msy have waited for more than ten minutes. And yes, it tells you that it is going to reboot, after all the completion of the process. Be well, peace

    Reporting back in case anyone else can benefit later...I got visual voicemail turned-off @ the carrier and this solved it! I DO get a notification when there's a voicemail awaiting and it goes away upon checking/clearing the VM box, but I no longer get the extra text messages. Mission accomplished - thanks @applee and @rocket2nfinity!

    I am having a similar problem. [ Error writing build.prop: Read-only file system ] This is what i get when I try to change the build.prop file. Doesnt matter if I change the permissions with sudo or not. IT just always tells me it is a read only file system. How do I make this a writeable file system. Any ideas.

    @emphrath I think that happens when you open the OpenStore and the Updates page when the updates were still available. So even if you already updated them, they don't refresh their data immediately. As much as I like updating my apps in system settings, I think it's better to remove it. It's possible in the future to have another app store so it's better to have them handle updates instead of the system settings. Actually, there has been discussions about this. t can also be tricky to sync the logic of both updates page.
