    @freddo I see that files on system-image.ubports.com are stored with digital signatures, so, the situation is better here, but still requires implementing mechanism of choosing mirrors in installer software. I'll take a look at that soon. Thanks

    @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.

    “ubports-installer” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

    @ikoz welp, you got me there. Turns out the default keyboard was English (Dvorak); not for the on-screen keyboard, but only when a USB keyboard was plugged in. Thanks!

    @lduboeuf nice, didn't know about it yet, seems to work with this page (on a Pixel 3a) . I'd especially be interested in some features similar to "NoScript" in Firefox (blocking the dozens of other things loading)

    So I gave it a try and set all the ownership in /home/phablet to phablet:phablet, and after a reboot the app actually found some of the new files. Looks like the app can't handle mpc files properly; or at least can't read the tags - they all end up in one "Unknown album" - but that's a different problem.

    @jojumaxx Hi! I have similar problems, looks like using waydroid and mounting ~/Music to it causes problems. The music app can't read the files anymore because the mounting changes the owner. See https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/apps/lomiri-music-app/-/issues/104

    zfs on Ubuntu touch

    TL;DR: use BTRFS or proxy the ZFS via NFS @RJDan said in zfs on Ubuntu touch: [...] better supported on linux, it seemed to be a clear win for zfs. Well, unfortunately that is not the case, ZFS is not supported without adding kernel modules via DKMS. That is because of licensing issues which prevent it from being built-in the kernel like BTRFS and EXT4. DKMS cannot work on Halium kernels as they are based on patched downstream android kernel. I thought FUSE was an option, but after trying to install it on my device I found out zfs-fuse is deprecated, and I couldn't make it work. So the only way is to build the kernel with patches for the ZFS module, beforehand. This is however very complex and I wouldn't recommend it. There is a workaround, to have a NFS/Samba as a proxy to the ZFS file system so that the UT device accesses the file system remotely. The more straight-forward approach is to change the file system to BTRFS, assuming it meets your use cases. If you only need snapshots and backups, you should be fine.

    This is a known issue and yes the workaround for now is to enable "save device info" which was the default prior the update anyway. There will be a fix so that rotation will always be saved.

    @uwahl said in UT filemanager preview rotated picture orientation issue: Anything I could do? You could start by checking if there is already an issue opened in the File Manager issue tracker (link can be found in the Open Store listing of the app). If there already is an issue opened, you can check if there is additional info that can be added. If you can code (or are willing to learn) you could jump in and try to solve the issue and open an MR when you have.

    @haagch said in Volla Quintus Update fails: I guess I'll mark this as solved even though going through RC is more of a workaround than an actual solution, because the update really should just work. Hi @haagch , This is the way to go. The forum is not a bug tracker. You had an issue someone helped you solve it. For reporting bugs it should be done in the Gitlab or Github dedicated to the proper project. Can be Ubuntu Touch, a specific app, a device specific issue, ...

    @kuuga What OS are you using for your host PC in the installation? If ADB cannot see the device, especially when the phone is in "fastboot" mode, with a windows host, this is probably because of missing google android drivers. On a Linux host, the command line tools from google should just work as-is after extraction. (In my bumbling around I used both.) Windows google-android driver: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb This guide below was extremely helpful for me, specifically the sections "Prerequisites" and "Unlocking Bootloader" since google's developer pages have so many dead 404 links. The other sections can be ignored if using UBPorts installer. https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-pixel-3a-sargo-unlock-bootloader-update-root-pass-safetynet.4443459/ Don't forget to downgrade your Pixel3a to Android 9 before running UBPorts installer.
