    @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.

    Nexus 5 - Trouble Accessing Wifi

    @Flohack I am not exactly sure. I can say that when the Wifi wasn't working, it also automatically set my date to 1970. I set it aside for a while and put it on the charger. I turned on the screen again and saw that the date and time was correct and the Wifi was working. So maybe it had something to do with the battery not being charged?

    @singpolyma apt is still not supported as a means of installing things in the rootfs. All of those things can be installed inside a libertine container and it works fine.

    @flaun-in That's a different and known bug with Media Hub on the RC branches. I've had to switch to stable branch for now until it's resolved.

    Yep..that does indeed work.Many thanks indeed.It'll also be useful now to know where messages/contacts etc are stored so I can run a regular backup to my home server.My Nexus 5 has just died but I bought another identical one as it was so good.All my history and messages have transferred across with no problems

    @Keneda Yeah, I've seen cheaper, but I didn't want to take the chance since I was about to install UT on it, as i did. Last thing I needed was a hardware issue...

    Bootloader only results in a little penguin icon at the top of the screen. What went wrong?

    How come there is a penguin icon? Ubuntu Touch never shows the kernel console at the beginning. Something is really fishy here.
  • R

    Ubuntu Touch won't install on Oneplus One. Apparently successful install won't boot up.

    @uamoti I gave up on it for a while and when I came back and saw your post it gave me hope. I was having some trouble executing what you did, but I couldn't continue because my phone simply died. It won't charge, it won't turn on. Nothing. What a bummer. edit: After many, many attempts to turn it on it finally came back to life. Now I go back to trying to flash TWRP. So far I've been unsuccessful.

    @Capsia thanks for the notice. But I think I found a bug. I previously downloaded dev channel 1583 but never installed it. But now there is no option to discard that previously downloaded version and look for a newer one. So unless I actually install that buggy version I seem to be stuck? (edit: playing around with the channel without actually changing anything seems to have fixed it and now I can download 1592; still odd...)

    Time should sync automatically, but time zone does not update automagically.

    @jezreel Here is the factory images for nexus/pixel phones, reflash your phone but do not boot into android. When you have reset the phone to the latest factory image, start the ubports installer when the phone is in bootloader: https://developers.google.com/android/images

    Okay, I filed two bugs on Axolotl's GitHub. It's the first time I used GitHub so please forgive any mistakes, or point them out so that I can learn. I hope it's helpful in any way. It's a worthy project and I'm eager to help it move forward. Unfortunately I can only help in small ways such as this.

    Got a similar issue 3 days ago when activated alarm for work the next day. Button not stayed grey, green ok. But alarm didn't poped on the notification bar, and time untill it rings was about 30 days later, and not next morning. Tried all presetted alarms, all broken. Tried lot of things to resolve it, but only setting up a new alarm with same settings worked. Then i deleted the first broken one i had, and all the others now work again. First time in five years using uTouch that i have issue with alarm, it's the only one i have to not be late to work...

    Genius! That worked a treat. Well, I've gotten the Netherlands one working. And the USA one is taking much longer to fail than it used to! I'll count that as progress.
