    @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.

    @bamboy360 said in Elevate Push Notifications from WayDroid to UT?: Someone there mentioned using KDEConnect as a workaround. I might look into that next. I suspect this was aimed primarily at desktop Linux, although any mobile Linux where KDE/GConnect shows notifications would work as well. Unfortunately, at the moment UT is not one of those where it would work out of the box. But feel free to experiment, maybe you can make it work.

    @kugiigi said in Keyboard bug/feature request: @dobey Ah yes that's true. But I can't think of a way to translate that to OSK. 3D touch? If you have an android phone, download SwiftKey keyboard, it has this feature and it is very good. It erases whole words at a time only when the button is prssed and held instead of having to chicken peck the backspace real fast which is time consuming when you have 4 or 5 words to backspace for example

    BTW, neither of the apps that use camera functionality work, and they all give me an error-message to the effect that I'll have to grant the app camera-access. At the moment the only other app to access the camera on my phone is UTorch.

    @advocatux: Thanks for the quick reply. Your post made me thinking... It turned out I have an M10 FHD. Now I'm embarrassed and happy at the same time. On the back of the M10 it just says Aquaris M10. The order confirmation from years ago helped solving this issue...
  • Launch GUI app with Libertine

    Many apps that are in the repository currently do NOT work in Libertine. Chromium is one of them - it crashes on launch and there currently is no fix. The only desktop browsers I was able to get to semi-function in Libertine are Qupzilla and Dooble. You might also be able to install Firefox via the instructions found at https://blog.arubislander.nl/2018/10/running-firefox-in-1604-libertine.html?m=1 & https://github.com/jdonald/firefox-armhf/releases - but it is also very slow and prone to crashing in my experience. Hopefully this will get fixed in some future updates - but currently UT developers are working on other priorities instead. Best regards, Steve Berson

    A few answers anbox is very experimental still so personally I would expect more than 50% of all apps to not work (anything that uses Google services like the maps api will not work); and probably less than 10% of apps to work without major issues (for me, of around 12 apps I tried only spotify works without me noticing problems) as far as I know there is no icon for anbox (it's just software that runs in the background) I guess these are system apps (on a normal android they are not listed by default in the settings apps) after you enabled anbox with anbox-tool it is supposed to start automatically on boot, but if I remember correctly I also had situations were some commands didn't work; only after starting an android app those were possible so I guess there is still some difference between something like "ready" and "running" or so (or maybe it's just a bug due to the experimental nature of anbox on UT) Android apps rely on a back button, so running android apps on a system that doesn't have those just can't be operated fully; there may or not be workarounds like stopping the app and starting it again

    @mihael Yes, this is just the desktop access. The problem is that when we moved to morph it started complaining that chrome has to be updated. It actually works the first time, and if it is closed and opened again it asks for Chrome 36+. If the cache is cleaned it opens again OK, but it has to be cleaned each time so it cannot be sync with the actual Android running Whatsapp. I tried to use QTWebengine to change the user agent to fake it, which can be also done directly in the webapp creator, but also to increase the persistence of the storage to try to avoid the problem after the restart. It has worked for a couple of days but right now it started failing in restart again, so back to square 0.

    @baruchiro said in Add Ubuntu GUI software icon to Scope: Is it possible to run programs designed for Ubuntu Desktop without Libertine? Simple answer to your question: no. You can install programs in the Terminal using the libertine-container-manager commands. Documentation on how to do this is at http://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/libertine.html and https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/libertine-container-manager.1.html Best regards, Steve Berson

    I'm far away from saying that there is no bug in Dekko2, but if finding below is a bug in Dekko2 or a new bug/feature/behavior in the OS is unclear. The high CPU utilization of dekkod is a result of reading from time to time again through one of its database files /home/phablet/.cache/dekko2.dekkoproject/database/qmailstore.db (39 MByte in size) with tons of llseek(2) and read(2) syscalls: [pid 22511] _llseek(9, 20623360, [20623360], SEEK_SET) = 0 [pid 22511] read(9, "\r\0\0\0\1\1o\0\1o\1\27\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 1024) = 1024 [pid 22511] _llseek(9, 20625408, [20625408], SEEK_SET) = 0 [pid 22511] read(9, "\r\0\0\0\1\1v\0\1v\2\214\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 1024) = 1024 [pid 22511] _llseek(9, 22777856, [22777856], SEEK_SET) = 0 [pid 22511] read(9, "\r\0\0\0\1\1s\0\1s\2\214\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 1024) = 1024 [pid 22511] _llseek(9, 20626432, [20626432], SEEK_SET) = 0 [pid 22511] read(9, ^C"\r\0\0\0\1\1s\0\1s\2\225\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 1024) = 1024 ... In it log file it says about this: [22511] May 13 07:24:41 [Debug] Action completed 96684008800466 result success [22511] May 13 07:26:39 [Warning] Would not determine server/action completing [22511] May 13 07:26:39 [Warning] Would not determine server/action completing [22511] May 13 07:26:40 [Debug] Running action ExportUpdatesRequest 96684008800468 [22511] May 13 07:26:40 [Debug] Running action ExportUpdatesRequest 96684008800469 [22511] May 13 07:26:41 [Warning] Unable to process malformed message removal record for account 4 [22511] May 13 07:26:41 [Warning] Unable to process malformed message removal record for account 4 [22511] May 13 07:26:41 [Warning] Unable to process malformed message removal record for account 4 [22511] May 13 07:26:41 [Warning] Unable to process malformed message removal record for account 4 [22511] May 13 07:26:41 [Warning] Unable to process malformed message removal record for account 4 .... I think it's time to remove the Dekko2 installation completely and start again from scratch. The PITA is that there is no way to keep the configuration, one must configure all by hand from scratch. This is really a bug in Dekko2.

    I have so much respect for the core devs. I can see how much work they have done on the camera on Nexus. It is quite obvious that some of the manpower / brainpower is allocated on improving camera capabilities of the promoted devices. One of the things I appreciate the most about UT mobile OS is that it comes with CLI which enables me to connect to my Raspberry Pi wirelessly and control it. Not 100% sure if iPhones or Androids have an app for this but on UT it comes by default.
