    @projectmoon The main problem that currently prevents using Wayland for electron apps, is that the On-Screen-Keyboard cannot work with GTK+Wayland+Mir1.x . By the way the Merezhyvo Browser ( popriatary app ! ) is an electron app using Wayland, but it has found it's way around this problem by coding it's own OSK inside the app itself, which is not really a way I want to go. (Especially for Signal because I want to modify the code only as strictly necessary, and also because for Signal there are other problems when it comes to using it in Wayland mode with Mir1.x). Anyway I've already tried it (see in the Signal UT topic), and reallu the best is to wait for Mir2.x, I hope it won't be in too long.

    confused on how to do a complete backup of system

    The instructions you are referring to are aiming to backup all data needed to restore system to previous condition (excluding operating system itself, I believe). It looks like it worked for some people, not for me, though. But it helped me to make backup of all data my own way, including system settings (now my Fairphone even presents itself as "BQ Aquarius 4.5", when connected via BT ). Back to the instruction. system-data and user-data are visible in /data only when your device is booted in recovery mode. When system is booted normally they are accessible via different location. That is: Connect your device to PC Run adb devices (output should list your device as recognized) Run adb reboot recovery Now you should be able to do adb shell and listing of /data should show these folders. At this point your adb pull of both should be fine.

    @uri - as far as your problem with video playback goes - this is a known problem solely on the Nexus 5 - one work around is to use the UTMedia app instead of the default Media Player app. https://open-store.io/app/utmedia.nfsprodriver In regards to battery - I don't have direct experience with this - but there are a lot of replacement batteries available for it on the online markets - and instructions on how to change it can be seen here - https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Nexus+5+Battery+Replacement/26009 Best regards, Steve Berson

    @gleblee you need to patch /etc/apparmor.d/sbin.dhclient as described here https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/781#issuecomment-423732902 to get it going...

    Yeah, in the end I had to remove modemmanager and just try plugging it in a couple of times. (sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't apparently) Also the tablet didn't boot when the flashing was finished. I had to boot it manually.

    Hi @lipkowski-be, Dan Chapman (the maintainer of Dekko) is unavailable due to health issues... ;-( therefor any contribution to Dekko goes here https://gitlab.com/dekkan for now (since we can't merge them to master as long as Dan isn't around). Issues are still tracked in the original repo already posted by @advocatux: https://gitlab.com/dekkoproject/dekko/issues. Also the webpage has gone down recently unfortunately... not sure if we will resurrect it, however we will continue to work on Dekko but progress will be much slower as long as Dan is unavailable. Up next: Dekko using qtwebengine to render mails instead of oxide - stay tuned.

    Hi i have found a workaround that works only for .htaccess Protected pages. Use simply a Favorit in the Format: http://username:password@website.de/url/ the Problem is you can see the credentials in the description of your fav.

    Hi @advocatux , I ran into the same "signature error", attempting to update my Aquaris 10 FHD tablet. As I don't mind breaking the tablet (as opposed to my phone), I just attempted to upgrade using the development channel, which worked (i.e. no signature error), then once that was running switched back to the stable image, and this time no signature error as well. Working nicely now, no problems, some bugs I encountered with 15.04 seem to be fixed with that release. Very happy. Will attempt the same procedure on my phone. Dave
