It should help with the stability for sure. (I should add that stability has already taken great leaps and bounds forward in the few weeks I have been testing my BH; I can barely imaging how it must have progressed since the time when the BH shipped. :astonished_face: )

Updated the OP with links to the postmarket versions. Question for @PINE64 : right now (2020-07-15 16:11 UTC), both versions say the packing contents include "USB-C Docking Bar – 2x USB Type A ports, digital video port, and 10/100Mbps Ethernet port" Does this mean that the board in both versions is 1.2a? (Apologies if I've missed the monthly update. Right now all Pine64 sites seem to be deluged with traffic. ) Edit: from reading the Pine64 July update, it seems that both versions of the phone have the 1.2a board with the USB fix (hurrah!), but only the 3GB/32GB Convergence Package has the Docking Bar. Please correct me if I'm wrong about that. Edit 2: the page in the store is now correct.

@sergiot Hi and welcom. I can either copy this across for you or if you repost there I will delete this one, just let me know.

No, there just haven't been any work done on the website yet See https://gitlab.com/ubports/infrastructure/lomiri.com

@michelbdec Please be more precise. Ubuntu Touch is NOT Ubuntu. Apps are using .click files. There's no Ubuntu software in Ubuntu Touch, but an open store: https://open-store.io/ in which you'll find "Dekko 2", which is currently the only email client available for Ubuntu Touch. (and works pretty well) Btw, you can install some other Linux software using a Libertine container, but they might not work as expected, especially since they aren't design for a smartphone screen.

Thanks. I think I saw it too late as the closing date was midnight UK yesterday

Libertine on pinephone was returning errors trying to create even an example container the last time I tried to use it https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/pinephone/-/issues/133 (gitlab isn't working enough to find the main issue but that's one)

Just fyi: the new Ubuntu Touch group on Mastodon has already reached 102 members: https://gup.pe/u/ubuntutouch

I think this would be a really good idea to make subforums. Also from a contributor perspective. I cannot follow a thousand-message-thread where "everything" is discussed (which also applies to almost all our telegram channels). But I have no problem scanning the new thread titles and jumping into those threads where I might be able to contribute (or am interested in the outcome myself)

I'm also wondering about this

No release note released for non stable releases i think i red somewhere...

@bharadwajgoutam5 I don't think it will ever be possible. Those technologies are proprietary and I doubt we can port these solutions to UT. At least not in the near future.

@herr-b Thank you so much for this question! @UniSuperBox Thank you so much for removing ReCaptcha! I read here since more than 6 months but when I saw ReCaptcha I did abort the registration at the forum. ReCaptcha is really terrible and I also try to avoid Google services. I am still not happy about Akismet but willing to accept it which is the reason why I did now finish the registration. It is very exiting and awesome to see what happens at UBports to get the choice not to use Android or IOS and get back some privacy.

@AppLee I decided to install ubuntu just because it was simple and anyone can do it, and this will help users to keep their data safe, unlike the android with its propriety and a bunch of hidden backdoors

@C0n57an71n said in Security on UT: @trainailleur There where another articel that was refering to the same test done in UK. I will try found it again if you are curios. I found the actual UK evaluation on the Wayback Machine. As suspected, there is no mention of Ubuntu Touch at all: End User Devices Security Guidance: Ubuntu 12.04 The article you linked was indeed wishful thinking and bad extrapolation. (Anyone interested in reading this may want to act fast, as the Internet Archive is currently under threat of being sued into oblivion.)

@libremax agreed. Ordered mine! Can't wait!
