@archerbob said in Questions on the use of Ubuntu Touch:

Can I use Windows apps on Ubuntu Touch?
Can I install & run PC Games?
Can I use WINE?

In terms of all of these, it's really not about Ubuntu Touch, but about what you're running it on. In any case, Ubuntu Touch is not Windows, so you can't directly run Windows apps on any architecture. With the very experimental amd64 qemu image build, you can run Ubuntu Touch on a PC (however lacking the experience may be currently, due to a lack of touch interface there), and can theoretically install Steam, WINE, and other things inside libertine and run them, though the performance or usability may not be ideal.

Otherwise, not really, no. Phones/tablets are generally made with ARM architecture CPUs, which are not compatible with x86 binaries. Remember, just because you can plug in an external monitor, and have an interface similar to your typical PC, a phone is still not a PC.

Can I use Ubuntu Touch to remote to another PC (Windows/Linux) and control that PC via Ubuntu Touch?

Theoretically yes. There is no native VNC/RDP app in the Open Store yet, that I know of, but if there were, you could use it to do so. Beyond that, you can however use ssh to connect to a remote Linux system and do things on the terminal (X forwarding will not work yet, as Ubuntu Touch does not use X, and Xwayland is not yet working on UT).

All sorted

Thank to you, don't know if that's linked but everything is fine now, history.sqlite-journal disappeared, some messages went nowhere, but now it's ok!!!

Maybe the history.sqlite-journal was a "work in progress" by the phone to restore this quite big database files (186Mio total, 1700 files in attachment).

Ok thanks for the explanation. Then I will move data to other folder with the file manager.

The forum's app is just a WebApp and as such, integration with the system is minimal.
The keyboard pops up when needed but the site's UI cannot adapt to something it has no idea it even exists.

So in that case I would say it is normal. Not ideal I agree, but expected.

If you're using Teleports or the messaging app you'll see that the text field's bottom is connected to the keyboard.
And you can still scroll the list of messages on top of the text field.

That is what you can expect from an app designed for UT.
As for Pure Maps it can have the same integration level but this is a cross platform app.
So maybe the effort required to improve the UX is too big compared to the inconvenient.
I'm a big fan of Pure Maps and I noticed this UX problem, but really it was not big of a deal.

For writing messages I found it annoying though, but I usually manage. Plus I don't have any clue how to fix this for WebApps... ???

@marek_python use Terminal from within running UBUNTU TOUCH operating system, yes, it works that way. No TWRP is needed. ( only for a full backup if wanted , you can always reflash UT recovery afterwards )

@dtarrant Probably, most items on the menu are for registered users.

The question was asked and answered during the last Q&A :

Search for External displays

According to me, the best and easiest way is to use SSH.
MTP works fine to transfer files, but SSH allows much more

@3arn0wl said in Links from webapps are opening in Onion browser default instead of Morph:

@nanu-c

Thank you for your continuing work on the Onion Browser, it is very much appreciated.

I agree. This app is a must-have and everyone can notice that it's being developed with a lot of care. 🙂

@dtarrant
No problem ; thanks for the good laugh though 😄

@shapley MTP is working now.

@TobsEnd
Sorry, I didn't use chmod, but used a nautilus function to set it executable

ls -la in the directory tells me:

rwxr-xr-x 1 heinrich heinrich 631 Mär 15 19:30 anboxtoggle.sh
for the skript, so I guess you would have to use the sudo version.

Thank You Ernest... it seems all I had to do was set the 'Edge drag areas width' up to '6' in the 'UT Tweak Tool' and now it works fine. Worth knowing in future.

@mito77 Please don't post links to sites that have nothing to do with Ubuntu Touch, UBports or a specific source of info for a problem you are having such as git hub, git lab. I am going to remove your link. It looks like Spam, please don't do it again.

I have already done it. I'm sure it's unlocked. yes, that padlock pic is open.

@AppLee no I solved with erase and reset all
