@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.
@StandUpMobile All I know is it goes quick when it goes without warning. Sorry but can't help with the other info. You will need someone else for that, but think your assumptions are right.
@domubpkm Have not tried in Libertine, but you should be able to do it with LibreOffice, depending on type of PDF potentially though: open PDF in Draw, select all, copy, open new Writer, paste, save as M*#+@S Word
Yeah, it works!!!! ssh is working and the static IP is set with the nmcli commands I'm not as stupid as I thought,
I figured out that you can't copy or create files or folders (via USB) directly to the User's home( tried to copy the keys via usb), it only works in the Downloads, Documents etc. folders, it would be nice to correct the instructions on docs.ubports
Thanx
@dobey
that makes more sense, I was confused by the alpine package thing. I might have to give it a try, and gtk be damned as I only use CL apps in a container anyways.
@arubislander
OK, thanks alot! So small wonder I can't seem to find any differences!
With a mouse connected it makes sense, I'll check what happens when I play around with the settings. It works even if the device is not connected to an external display.
The mouse is only mention in "small print", and I didn't make the right connection when reading it...
@sojab0on
Audio speakers works generally over bluetooth, but audio calls (2 ways audio flux) is not working.
That is a well known issue.
To help with your problem, I can suggest wired headsets. I use the earplug from the PlayStation 4 controller and I'm satisfied with this solution.
But there are other wired solutions... until this bug is fixed.
But old kernel means old bluetooth support, so I'm not convinced it will be fixed soon, but one can hope.
But maybe there should be a way to uninstall these apps without the tweak tool? Also apps witch disappear from the store are affected.
This way is not intuitiv and not everybody trusts or knows the tweak tool.
For BQ E5 HD :
Stable channel : simple boot.
I tried the last RC channel (66) and it's party time ! I got dual and even triple boot !
On the other hand, the scrolling of the desk is not very fluid. Is that a known problem ?
@jezreel Both your last two post are related to each other and they are related to your first post here https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3930/ubuntu-touch-image-error Please can you keep everything to do with one issue in one place for reasons I have already mentioned in responding to your other post. It will not get answered any quick in fact it may take longer as there is no context.
Could you please add both these issues to your first post and we can try and solve it with all the available info. You can then delete your other posts or we can do it for. Thanks for your understanding.
Please also don't post lots of related issues as separate posts. It just creates confussion for us, you and others trying to follow things. Could you please add the other one to this and we can keep it all together. You can use the three little dots to the left to edit your post. Thanks.
Aplologies for the inconvenience caused. The issue was indeed a bad update causing the upgrader to clear a directory it should not have. See https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1395
If you are affected by this issue, it is now safe to reinstall Ubuntu Touch using the UBports Installer. You will not lose any data.
