@z4rc No, Ubuntu Touch itself is not built for running a kiosk mode system. If you want to build a kiosk device there are better solutions for that than trying to use Ubuntu Touch.

@cliffcoggin Yeah the idea was that Porting is for developer discussions. So yeah, lets move that elsewhere, I still think top level devices would be better than substructure of Support, to make it more visible.

Audio plays when you have the inlog screen but not when it is on black. Than it shutters the audio like the biffer stream is not getting though. One+ phone ubuntu 16.04

Still not working.

@emphrath I changed the profile to "online maps" only, and rerouting now works fine.

@emphrath The Android HAL is incompatible with GNU libc and traditional Linux multimedia software. It's less about "kernel divergence" than about how binary drivers are built on top of it to work differently than traditional Linux distributions.

@mh4ut Just to clarify this is the Welcome and Install group on Telegram/Teleports and was this account removed by admin of the group.

Oh I also thought Volla supports display out.

I tried that with --dry-run, but it just sits there and does nothing after this output. $ sudo system-image-cli -vn -p 0 --progress dots [systemimage] Jan 09 19:09:17 2021 (14794) No valid image master key found, downloading [systemimage] Jan 09 19:09:17 2021 (14794) [0x7f8a04f2e8] Requesting group download: https://system-image.ubports.com/gpg/image-master.tar.xz -> /android/cache/recovery/keyring.tar.xz https://system-image.ubports.com/gpg/image-master.tar.xz.asc -> /android/cache/recovery/keyring.tar.xz.asc [systemimage] Jan 09 19:09:17 2021 (14794) Allow GSM?

@starltegsi I don't have this phone or GSI, but i can tell you people will help you better if you give them the link to the install method you used, at least.

@ubuntoutou I have now managed to make the Microsoft Wireless Adapter work on another external display but the ubuntu desktop is compressed vertically. It does not occupy the whole screen so that the desktop is distorted. Furthermore, it is blur...

@c0n57an71n I admit, this is an advantage of the PinePhone. I also miss a dual boot option for Ubuntu Touch. Some apps only work on newer Android releases. I currently carry around three different Samsung Galaxy S5 devices with different Android versions. Each for it's on purpose. One for ANT+, one for writing capability to the SD card, and one for phone calls the latest Android apps. With Ubuntu Touch, there will be one device more. Multi boot could solve the problem.

@paugier Interresting. As the app just uses the webcontainer I doubt I can do anything regarding memory consumption. I didn't have the issue neither on OPO nor on Volla. Can you maybe link an example or a channel you follow where this happens.

So if I have an Ubuntu Touch, and turn flight mode on -- basically it is very unlikely anyone will be tracking meat that point. Even the ISP, right? In the video above, Google only knew where the man had been, because it was all recorded and uploaded by Google software on the phone, when he turned his phone back on. Or, short of that, I could probably just put the phone in a faraday bag.

@jojumaxx Yes, because of confinement, apps should often copy file into their own space. For media files, the best is to store them in the dedicated folders then the app with matching right can access them directly without the need to copy them. You can see how much space each app is taking if you need to clear that space...

@mrlen Hi, You can revert to android if you want to. But you'll need to flash it using an official image. With the bootloader unlocked you can flash other OSes available for your hardware. It includes Android.

Click apps cannot be run from Android, sorry. If your only problem with UT is the flashlight not working when taking pictures, I'm happy to tell you that this problem is solved in the new Halium 7.1 port of the FP2, by @peat_psuwit. This port isn't pushed officially right now, but can already be installed. See this topic to install the Halium 7.1 port (you will also need to install gstreamer-droid to have the flashlight working). However, please wait a few days before doing that installation, the core devs actually are upgrading to Qt 5.12 so you should not use apt at the moment. See this topic to know when things will be back to normal.
