    @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

    @nebulom Hi, the root filesystem is read only which means you cannot install debian packages the traditional way. But it is a Linux afterall so you can remount the FS with write privilege. You can also use a Libertine container which is probably the best choice for you. If you want to use show your students how to create an app for UT it will have multiple pros and cons: Differenciate the host and target computer (cross compilation) Show them the linking issues and requirements How useful yocto, clickable and other tools are to overcome some of the problems What is a bootloader, a rootfs, an OS, a DE and what it means for their code If you just want something simpler just SSH to the computer, code within vi and compile using GCC, UT comes with unecessary complications. But IMHO the previous items are worth tackling with when your learn new skills. Some might like it, some no but they'll learn what it is and what they are willing/able to do.

    @Rob_S Hello, is your issue resolved? Today I was able the first time to make pictures and videos with my VollaPhone/GS290. This means to switch from photo to video in camera app and create a video without freezing. The issue, occurs when the aspect ratio of the image sections is different between photo and video. This problem has not fully fixed yet (because of course they can differ) but here is a workaround. Please find the settings I made in camera app. I don´t want to state that these are the only one. They are just working. So never change a running system. Photo: Storage: Save to sd-card; 16:9 (9.4MP); Normal quality; HDR: off Video: Storage: Save to sd-card; 1080p Flash light currently not available for VollaPhone. Remark: Not sure that it has an effect where to store the pictures & videos. But I assume it is better to have them in the same place... . Ubuntu 16.04 (2020-09-26)

    @Mystic-X said in Nexus 4 latest update causes error and no complete boot: But still I'm a little shocked about that... I'm not, edge is not to be used by end users for daily, even dev, like said Aplee, should not. End user who want to test in a daily device should stick to RC.

    @Jules OTA13 is out and with it a newer QtWebEngine for Morph browser. So Morph has now a more recent version of chromium and with it better support of various websites. Can you mark the thread as solved. Or if you can't you can ask and I'll do it for you.

    @prog-amateur Hi, sadly OTA13 will not help. Halium7 port for the Nexus5 might help but this port still needs some work. I don't have a real status, but if you're willing, you can help: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3777/call-for-testing-nexus-5-hammerhead-owners

    @Keneda I won't say otherwise. But I will still say that not all was done in one day for the volla-phone which did not leave from a totally unknown land but to be explored...

    MTP is an Android thing so it's not automatically available on the Pinephone and Pinetab. I think they do plan to have to though. For now you can use WifiTranser or SSH/SFTP (which I much prefer than wired connection).
