I'm replying to myself here to stay within the confines of this topic - but I've been beating my head against the wall on this one...

Basically, my ongoing issue with convergence on the Meizu Pro 5 (on 16.04/devel) is the "fuzzy" resolution using aethercast - and I know that it's purely down to the resolution being set in aethercast/src/ac/basesourcemediamanager.cpp to 720p and not 1080p.

I scavenged an old laptop today, installed Ubuntu on it (I'm an Arch Linux user by default) and was trying to cross-compile a UBports xenial version of aethercast to upgrade the output resolution to 1080, as per this patch:

https://launchpadlibrarian.net/267505693/p1.diff

However, try as I might, I can't past these errors during cross-compiling:

Get:1 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports xenial InRelease [247 kB]
Err:1 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports xenial InRelease
The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 40976EAF437D05B5 NO_PUBKEY 3B4FE6ACC0B21F32

I've tried importing those keys - goodness me, I have - but to no avail.

So, in a big shout out to @mardy (who is maintaining ubports/aethercast), is there any chance that you might be able to add these three lines to the code and recompile in the near future? The patch worked wonderfully on 15.04 and I briefly (before moving to 16.04/devel) had a crystal clear 1920x1080 UT desktop on my external monitor.

Or is there an excellent reason that the 1080 isn't included by default? It seems a little odd, as almost all external monitors are at least 1920x1080 now - as I mentioned before, I had to trawl through our department's old IT storeroom to find a ten-year old monitor with a native 720p resolution - which is seemingly the only way to have crystal clear resolution using aethercast in 16.04/devel!

I really appreciate that @mardy does so much for the community already - and I know that there's likely so many more important issues to deal with - but it seems a simple change to the code and would make for a wonderful early Christmas present.

Or a late Thanksgiving one for any North Americans on the site 🙂

It seems, that UBports is a diva 😉 It seems, that the installation has been successfull, after I hold my FP2 in the hand and watched "her" installing.

@advocatux Many thanks for your support.

@ellypsis yes, as only a few repos have been moved for now, I suppose the people doing the move are still thinking about the best way to communicate it.

On the other hand, in the main page of every repo moved there's a warning. You can see an example of that at https://github.com/ubports/music-app ("Moved to GitLab https://gitlab.com/ubports/app-dev/mu…")

@cunotj no, you aren't missing anything. For device models like yours it's better to use https://open-store.io/app/com.ubuntu.developer.majster-pl.utorch

@lakotaubp @Marathon2422 thanks for your help.
This morning, I tried several things like selected a provider in the APN settings, and then the phone was able to connect to a network.
So now it works well! Very cool!
Last think: it cannot receive mms without data on, which is also the case with my BQ E5. It worked with the Firefox OS and previously with Ubuntu Touch at the really beginning. Do you know why? With 50Mo per month, I use to let the data off, but in this case, I don't know if someone send to me a mms, no notification, nothing, nada...

@totalsonic said in New browser excessively zoomed-in:

My own website http://www.totalsonic.net is zoomed in slightly too much with Morph - but it displays correctly sized in Android (in both mobile versions of Chrome and Firefox) and in the old UT Oxide based browser.

Can you add your experience to github issue, please? If for some reason you can't, notice me, I will add it myself. Thank you.

Some caveats about this, quoting from the UBOF Telegram group:

thats the old one that wraps here

"here maps"

[In reply to myii]
that has been removed, since here requre licensing

Marius Gripsgard, [20.11.18 21:52]
we are hopefully moving away from ubuntu location service and just use geoclue and qtlocation, and use the hybris platform

myii, [20.11.18 21:52]
Is it OK to use espoo in the meantime?

Marius Gripsgard, [20.11.18 21:52]
[In reply to myii]
yeah should be ok

Marius Gripsgard, [20.11.18 21:53]

that will just use gps though, no agps support

Key points:

@domubpkm The same for me. It happens from time to time with my 4.5, but always recovered after reboot, so far.

@advocatux said in Install Ubports to bq Aquaris M10 LTE Full HD (B000178):

@firefox84 you can install UT on M10 HD (cooler) and M10 FHD (frieza) but not on the LTE (4G) version

Thank you really much Advocatux, exactely that was my question. Unfortunately :(, if it would have been possible i would have ordered it tomorrow 😃

That work if I have the zip file on the phone but the zip file is an attachment of Dekko 2, as well if I do open with filemanager it does not save or open the file.

OK. I'm not sure why a python3 version of pygame isn't available in the Ubuntu repositories, so it looks like you will probably need to build your own version to work with python3, as part of the click packaging.

You might want to check out clickable for making it easy to package an app up.

So, after I dug out my old netbook from the dust of my stash shelf, which was already equipped with lubuntu 14.04, I successfully installed ubuntu-device-flash utility via apt package manager, and used the utility to downgrade to 15.04.

Wish, this can be this easy on bionic (18.04).

I will look into the ubuntu-device-flash utility on ubports github and try to make it work.

@zx81 that issue happens when changing any channel, so just close & open again System Settings when it happens, at least for now 🙂

@domubpkm ah, I see what you mean now because I didn't tried that new feature earlier. I've tested it now and I think the issue is that we can't access file:/// for security & privacy reasons, not that Morph can't handle .mht files

@mawil1013 yes, adb and fastboot run on Ubuntu just fine.

FYI those instructions you've linked are outdated.
