    @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.

    I use PIA and I have found this link while searching though about setting up Ubuntu Linx and it is a shame that the vpn set-up on my M10 is not as easy as this, https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/client-support/ubuntu10.10-pptp However, in the Advanced Open VPN section i have Ino idea which file to downloead and use. I would assume that i need the tcp/strong file but with vpns i do not want to get it wrong.

    @mawil1013 My OPO also charges rather slowly I think. Seems to depend somewhat on how many mA you feed it, but still slow. The battery performance has also deteriorated lately. Can't get through a day with bluetooth and wifi off, even with light use.

    @advocatux Yes, I had it installed and did typed the commands on the M10 itself. @Lakota Thanks for the advice (and the question from a while ago)! https://forums.ubports.com/topic/262/desktop-apps?page=1 Thanks to you all, I now have the Firefox, Libreoffice, and even the V.L.C. Player & Ubuntu Restricted Extras I'd forgotten running on my Aquaris F.H.D. with the latest O.S release, plus learned how to use a container for the first time. Thanks again! Anyone know when the legacy app.'s are updated? Likewise, I tried installing the font manager 'Fonts" to install a modified segoeui.fft, but the installation ended with [code]E: Unable to locate package fonts[/code], so Fonts doesn't appear in Deskop Apps. Is this fixable?

    I was in the same situation as you. I had Xperia X and really wanted to install Ubuntu Touch on it so it's not hooked on Google 24/7. Ended up exchanging the Xperia for Nexus 5.

    Thanks, y'all! @Marathon2422 I listened to some of the podcast 28 and I know that 16 is not totally ready but using it I think it definantly seems close. @advocatux Thanks! That solved the problem! Still has very few apps now but like Marathon2422 said, their may be restocking the store with apps for 16.04. I know 15.04 is supposed to be more stable but this seems alright and I do want to submit error reports to help since this is stable enough for me to use as a daily phone. A lot of the problems I remember from last year or the year before are gone in this update I have installed now. Thanks for putting a link too. And I now use UTmedia since that works, but I wish I could use the File Manager to open the videos since that isn't suggested my UTmedia and the File-Manager doesn't list UTmedia as a was to open the video files. Oh well, it works alright for now. Thanks again!

    @nutzernam You just fixed a permission problem for the MTP driver which mounts the storage to the USB host - it will be repaired in 16.04 also...

    Ah! Thanks for the wonderfully prompt reply @advocatux and others - always some small comfort to know that you're not alone in these situations. I just assumed that the issue was because @mariogrip and any other Norwegian developers involved had pushed the update through in a hurry so as to get out and celebrate a glorious Constitution Day, that one day a year where the sun absolutely has to shine in Bergen - by law And on that note, I wouldn't expect anything to happen on the Norwegian side for a couple of days now

    By the way magic-device-tool was not working because the link for the recovery image was not correct. @ll yeah I know, that's why I said "if you feel adventurous" and "you can play with MDT". What I mean is there's some ways to do that, for example looking at the code of MDT you can see it tries to download the recovery image from http://mdt-files.com/downloads/magic-device-tool/recoverys/recovery-arale.img which doesn't exist anymore so you can replace it with http://cdimage.ubports.com/devices/recovery-arale.img (probably that's the one you need BUT I really don't know because you're trying to do some archaeological thing). I think you get the idea, you can customize your own MDT or see what that script does and type the commands (pointing to the right server) in your CLI. Of course, the recommended way to get the best results is to do this using Ubuntu 16.04 with all the needed tools installed (like phablet-tools). Edit: the legacy channel for your device is still online as you can see here http://system-image.ubports.com/ubports-touch/legacy/arale/

    @flohack said in The last word I typed is always added into the next box when I click on it: We dont reopen this, since it was applied to the master branch and therefore will land only in 16.04 OTA-4. Ah, now I get it. Sorry
