    Hello! I'm a sysadmin at Luleå Academic Computer Society, LUDD, and we host mirrors at https://ftp.ludd.ltu.se/. We've already got a registered Ubuntu mirror, and as such I'm wondering if its possible to contribute a Ubuntu Touch image/package(click?) mirror or similar? Is there any contact point I can reach out to?

    @Sentinel said in No GPS access from inside Waydroid: maybe the MIUI version I flashed might have impacted Waydroid's reliability or other things? Yes — this can significantly affect UT. The MIUI image version to use is specified in the installation guide under "2. Check the correct version of MIUI", and it looks like you used the correct one. I can't explain the unusual bugs you've reported. Did you remount the system as read-write and make any changes? Did you use apt (update/upgrade/install)? I'm fine with starting a new discussion thread.

    @lalu said in Unable to install Anbox on BQ Aquaris M10 FHD: The problem seems to have to do with / and /dev/loop0 but I don't know how to advance from here. Any hint is appreciated. I've never touched a M10, but from what you show (loop0) your root filesystem is mounted from a .img file and not from the system partition. The Nexus 7, which I have, is also like this. It is very easy to resize the .img file and get a larger root filesystem. I don't have it around right now to double check, but as far as I remember, I do this: boot to recovery, adb shell, to get into it and then resize2fs /data/ubuntu.img 4G to increase the size to 4 gigabyte . Of course, if you break it you get to keep the pieces, so make your own decisions wrt backups, and worst case fall back to reinstalling with the installer, which should always work

    @rom4nb Actually I solved to restore my backup. Here's how I did it: install UT on new device setup SSH between Desktop and UT device (instruction e.g. here (in German): https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Ubuntu_Touch/Terminal/#SSH ) create folder to mount UT root with ssh: mkdir ~/UPhone-Home mount UT via SSH on Desktop: sshfs phablet@IP_ADRESS_PHONE:/ /home/$USER/UPhone-Home/ on Desktop: cd into directory with BUDS backup: cd ~/buds/backup/DATE/ on Desktop: start restore of data with: tar -xf BACKUP.tgz -C /home/$USER/UPhone-Home/home/phablet/ It runs through and all data is restored in the correct path. E.g. when there is a file in the tgz: /./Music/Track1.mp3 it will be correctly restored in /home/phablet/Music/Track1.mp3 So this issue here seems not to be a problem: https://github.com/popey/buds/issues/10

    @C0n57an71n currently have my carrier as automatic (manually changing to at&t caused all cellular data to stop), but havent manually configured apns. During my messing about in general ive somehow made the messages app more consistent with sending messages, but mms is still unavailable. Should I just use normal at&t apn settings or has anyone on the forums found more stable ones?

    @doniks said in Libertine and Desktop apps in OTA-14: @gdegrez Ah, right. I didn't read it carefully enough. Tbh, I only have second hand knowledge about puritine. I understand it was a prerolled, read only container that Canonical shipped. My guess is: It's probably best to not care too much about that anymore. UBports has made lots of updates to repositories, so you're probably better off today with a self created libertine container anyway. I don't think puritine ever offered any unique advantage over a self created container, other than sparing you the creation Thanks. Yes, that works but, unfortunately, many desktop apps don't work under Libertine (in my recent limited experience, firefox, frescobaldi, musescore) Hope that future developments will bring a solution. But the fact that the only supported tablet is the BQ Aquaris M10 (no more recent device using wayland) worries me a bit...

    @ziggutas Many thanks for the explanation. Then I will stay on the RC and see when the Pinephone can be used as a daily driver. At the moment, with 6h battery life and other various problems, this is not given yet.

    Hello, Thank you for your involvement in finding solutions to my difficulties with UT. In my last post, I indicated that I considered my problems as "solved" but, I was not precise enough. I was able to stably fix the libertine tweak-tool app for my container named "stock" (220 dpi) which allowed a better definition of the installed desktop apps. But, as I didn't know the doniks details, I didn't check if the line "Xft.dpi: 220" was in .../user-data/CONTAINERID. However, if desktop apps can be used, especially firefox, all menu bars are always displayed in lowercase; this may be a reference to the doniks details on the line Xft.dpi: 220 ? Emanuele Sorce: the first time I used sturm reader, I activated the button at the bottom of the app and made the settings and font choices, but the margin slider had no effect on them; I add that the sturm-reader's welcome interface did not match the openstore app presentation (empty interface with the only indication to search for a book). Faced with my difficulties, and before reading your last advice, I got discouraged (too fast?) and I ended up uninstalling UT from my nexus 7 to go back to my old rom (resurrection-remix) while waiting for better knowledge on my part in the use of UT . Thanks again for your help. Out of subject: when installing UT, ubports-installer asks for a confirmation of the device and indicates LG as the manufacturer of the nexus 7 flo. I would like to specify that the flo manufacturer is Asus and not lg...
