    @freddo I see that files on system-image.ubports.com are stored with digital signatures, so, the situation is better here, but still requires implementing mechanism of choosing mirrors in installer software. I'll take a look at that soon. Thanks

    TEXStudio is working in Libertine! The generation of sample documents went well. Tested on channel 24.04/daily on Fairphone 4. RAM usage topped at 2.7GB (free -h). Other working things that are often used together with TEXStudio in the same libertine container: inkscape (vector graphics) atril (pdf viewer) thunar (file manager) Other; mousepad (text editor) parole (music) Not working as well out of the box: emacs gedit leafpad (usable, complaining about wayland) Observations xfce software tends to work with libertine. Some windows get a window title bar that I didn't figure out how to get rid of. Some apps in libertine are in bright mode. Maybe there is a way to add dark mode theme to a libertine container. A libertine container can say you need to run dpkg --configure -a as root to fix an installation gone wrong. How to become root in a libertine container is not straight forward. su - not working. su phablet not working. libertine-container-manager exec -i noble -c "/bin/bash" and then fakeroot seems to work.

    @Sentinel Hi All, I'm just now running the install from within the waydroid helper app. Back on the stable OS it shows me that the dowload speed is around 200KB/s, the is about 900MB to download. So yes, a verry slow connection for this app... EJ

    @luksus I actually bought a Pinephone, but the OnePlus 3 is so much faster and also has more memory. The only thing the pinephone has over it is the hardware kill switches. I will try and install anbox and see if if performs. Thanks!

    @davenothere According to this link, you should still be fine data-wise even if 3G bands will be phased out: https://www.frequencycheck.com/carrier-compatibility/zLtEl/google-nexus-5-lg-d820/cricket-wireless-united-states

    The script is: #!/bin/bash while [ "true" ] do VPNCON=$(nmcli con status) if [[ $VPNCON != *MyVPNConnectionName* ]]; then echo "Disconnected, trying to reconnect..." (sleep 1s && nmcli con up uuid d******c-d***-4***-b***-3**********4) else echo "Already connected !" fi sleep 30 done The UUID of your personal VPN can be found with: nmcli con If I run this script in the terminal with bash script.sh or just copy/paste, it works great. My VPN toggles 'on' automatically, and if I turn off my VPN it toggles itself back 'on' so long as I keep my terminal open. However, if I run the script as any kind of startup script, after I reboot, the VPN will toggle 'on' then 'off' and I get a VPN Failed message. And this will keep happening at whatever duration you have set in the script. This generic script is 30secs, I set my personal one to 5secs and it toggles 'on' fails then toggles 'off' every 5secs.

    It looks like the phone has a hardware issue with the eMMC (Solid state drive). If you have tried multiple USB cables and the device won't allow writing to certain sectors, the storage has failed.

    @somannak No, it's more complicated than that. Use forum search function to see what is waydroid. But i think OPO is not compatible with waydroid anyway.

    @bigb The script from the gabsoftware link works great when run straight in the terminal, but when put in startup, the vpn tries to reconnect but can't for some reason.

    @Jimpson , for me it was in ~/.local/share/ubuntu-download-manager/com.mikeasoft.podbird but if its not there, try using the du command to search for large directories. I started from the very top at ~ and started using this: du -d 1 --block==1G ^this command shows the size of each directory/file in ur current location in terms of gigabytes. podbird should be up there in size, so just start working ur way down

    @keneda Probably ChromeOS but you can install standard Linux apps as it runs a Linux kernel. Or even a standard Linux, I doubt Windows can run on a Chromebook.

    Mp4 videos can be played using Video Player (Pavel Prosto) or even using morph-browser as a video player : for this, the video must be in the Downloads folder (work only if the video is in this folder), copied, and pasted in morph-browser.

    I installed UT for the first time mid-July and then reinstalled for the second time a few days ago, in the hopes that any fooling around I did would resolve itself. I had attempted to install Linphone in the terminal without success, and perhaps entered commands that affected the phone. I can see that I can easily delete photos in the Camera Roll (with 1 click on the red button), but takes many clicks of the red button from the Gallery app. I switched on the Dev mode as suggested above but still can't delete apps of delete a conversation in Teleports. I'm basically brand new to Ubuntu Touch so I can't say for sure that the phone was working better before I perhaps entered a command that "broke" the phone. Doesn't reinstalling UT reset any changes I made?
