    @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.

    @magdesign This is a very old thread, and in the interim this issue has long been solved on the PinePhone. I am marking this as solved and locking the thread.

    @luksus I actually bought a Pinephone, but the OnePlus 3 is so much faster and also has more memory. The only thing the pinephone has over it is the hardware kill switches. I will try and install anbox and see if if performs. Thanks!

    @davenothere According to this link, you should still be fine data-wise even if 3G bands will be phased out: https://www.frequencycheck.com/carrier-compatibility/zLtEl/google-nexus-5-lg-d820/cricket-wireless-united-states
  • Auto Execute Startup Scripts

    The script is: #!/bin/bash while [ "true" ] do VPNCON=$(nmcli con status) if [[ $VPNCON != *MyVPNConnectionName* ]]; then echo "Disconnected, trying to reconnect..." (sleep 1s && nmcli con up uuid d******c-d***-4***-b***-3**********4) else echo "Already connected !" fi sleep 30 done The UUID of your personal VPN can be found with: nmcli con If I run this script in the terminal with bash script.sh or just copy/paste, it works great. My VPN toggles 'on' automatically, and if I turn off my VPN it toggles itself back 'on' so long as I keep my terminal open. However, if I run the script as any kind of startup script, after I reboot, the VPN will toggle 'on' then 'off' and I get a VPN Failed message. And this will keep happening at whatever duration you have set in the script. This generic script is 30secs, I set my personal one to 5secs and it toggles 'on' fails then toggles 'off' every 5secs.

    It looks like the phone has a hardware issue with the eMMC (Solid state drive). If you have tried multiple USB cables and the device won't allow writing to certain sectors, the storage has failed.

    @somannak No, it's more complicated than that. Use forum search function to see what is waydroid. But i think OPO is not compatible with waydroid anyway.

    @bigb The script from the gabsoftware link works great when run straight in the terminal, but when put in startup, the vpn tries to reconnect but can't for some reason.

    @Jimpson , for me it was in ~/.local/share/ubuntu-download-manager/com.mikeasoft.podbird but if its not there, try using the du command to search for large directories. I started from the very top at ~ and started using this: du -d 1 --block==1G ^this command shows the size of each directory/file in ur current location in terms of gigabytes. podbird should be up there in size, so just start working ur way down

    @keneda Probably ChromeOS but you can install standard Linux apps as it runs a Linux kernel. Or even a standard Linux, I doubt Windows can run on a Chromebook.

    Mp4 videos can be played using Video Player (Pavel Prosto) or even using morph-browser as a video player : for this, the video must be in the Downloads folder (work only if the video is in this folder), copied, and pasted in morph-browser.
