    @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

    See: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/5152/music-app-bluetooth-and-3-5mm-headphone-jack-controls Seems like the Bluetooth controls are not yet implemented, but hopefully it should come soon.

    @TotalSonic I used to do Uber and Lyft. I've been using it as a test case. It's good on data. (Maybe Wifi, drivers cancel and I wasn't charged this time.) The browser app isn't as good as the main app-- but it's good enough. I bought a Nexus 4 for $35 to have an Ubuntu phone. This'll work till we make it better!

    @darkeye Not all devices have external SD card support. And well, you immediately lose 1GB of storage by reserving it for swap, anyway.

    @Chim Hi and welcome! I don't know what type of files plays the Music Player, but you can convert the files to the format that is playable. Regarding the version: if you are on stable and no OTA updates are available than you're good. You can check that in Settings/Updates/Update settings and change to RC, dev or stable accordingly.

    @matteo Thanks Matteo. I think I now know what a daemon is. I have wifi data usage recorded. Next time I get a mobile signal I can test if that records as well.

    Hi, you can put feature requests here: https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/issues. In general, installation is never stuck for half an hour except you got a slow internet, its basically downloading 500MB of data the firt time you use it, for each channel. If you install devel for example, every day there would be a new image, so the installer will fetch that.

    Unable to install Anbox on BQ Aquaris M10 FHD

    @lalu said in Unable to install Anbox on BQ Aquaris M10 FHD: The problem seems to have to do with / and /dev/loop0 but I don't know how to advance from here. Any hint is appreciated. I've never touched a M10, but from what you show (loop0) your root filesystem is mounted from a .img file and not from the system partition. The Nexus 7, which I have, is also like this. It is very easy to resize the .img file and get a larger root filesystem. I don't have it around right now to double check, but as far as I remember, I do this: boot to recovery, adb shell, to get into it and then resize2fs /data/ubuntu.img 4G to increase the size to 4 gigabyte . Of course, if you break it you get to keep the pieces, so make your own decisions wrt backups, and worst case fall back to reinstalling with the installer, which should always work

    @dobey Thanks for the quick answer. I only wanted it because I wanted an email client and was somewhat slow in realizing there already was one.

    @rom4nb Actually I solved to restore my backup. Here's how I did it: install UT on new device setup SSH between Desktop and UT device (instruction e.g. here (in German): https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Ubuntu_Touch/Terminal/#SSH ) create folder to mount UT root with ssh: mkdir ~/UPhone-Home mount UT via SSH on Desktop: sshfs phablet@IP_ADRESS_PHONE:/ /home/$USER/UPhone-Home/ on Desktop: cd into directory with BUDS backup: cd ~/buds/backup/DATE/ on Desktop: start restore of data with: tar -xf BACKUP.tgz -C /home/$USER/UPhone-Home/home/phablet/ It runs through and all data is restored in the correct path. E.g. when there is a file in the tgz: /./Music/Track1.mp3 it will be correctly restored in /home/phablet/Music/Track1.mp3 So this issue here seems not to be a problem: https://github.com/popey/buds/issues/10

    @C0n57an71n currently have my carrier as automatic (manually changing to at&t caused all cellular data to stop), but havent manually configured apns. During my messing about in general ive somehow made the messages app more consistent with sending messages, but mms is still unavailable. Should I just use normal at&t apn settings or has anyone on the forums found more stable ones?

    Libertine and Desktop apps in OTA-14

    @doniks said in Libertine and Desktop apps in OTA-14: @gdegrez Ah, right. I didn't read it carefully enough. Tbh, I only have second hand knowledge about puritine. I understand it was a prerolled, read only container that Canonical shipped. My guess is: It's probably best to not care too much about that anymore. UBports has made lots of updates to repositories, so you're probably better off today with a self created libertine container anyway. I don't think puritine ever offered any unique advantage over a self created container, other than sparing you the creation Thanks. Yes, that works but, unfortunately, many desktop apps don't work under Libertine (in my recent limited experience, firefox, frescobaldi, musescore) Hope that future developments will bring a solution. But the fact that the only supported tablet is the BQ Aquaris M10 (no more recent device using wayland) worries me a bit...
