Hi @Charly. Welcome to the UBports community.

Yesterday, I got emails from AlaskaLinuxUser (GitLab), thanking me, and saying both pages were fixed.

@Thomas I presume your choice between a de-Googled Android and Ubuntu Touch should revolve around whether you want Ubuntu as your Operating System on the phone or not. We take security seriously and we're slowly catching up, see encryption of your data being a thing on 24.04.

@arubislander Regarding containers not having access to the internet: It might be the device is using "Paranoid Android Networking" in the kernel, stemming from Android, which limits use of sockets to a special group ID. To device maintainers wanting to support LXD, you will want to check whether CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK is in your kernel tree (simply grep recursively for it) and if so, set CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK=n in your defconfig. I've since fixed this on the FP4 and verified working networking on the FP5.

@Moem The banks in the UK are really pushing you to use their app. For example if you log in on a browser, it will push you to authenticate with your app on your phone or tablet. The banks have close the vast majority of counters and now run a service (no cash withdrawals) where a van goes from community to community on set days for all banks to cater for those who don't online bank. Likewise if you do need a big cash withdrawal (i.e over 1000 euros) then they question you like you are a naughty child. (Think of Greta Thunberg saying "how dare you withdraw your own money, how dare you!). Then to work you now have to have an authenticator app and I have to have the M$ authenticator, no choice. If I don't have it I cannot get into works systems! The UK is really going to rack and ruin......

@ancientsounds said in Do you think you know Ubuntu Touch ?: @libremax With more and more people getting unhappy with Google and Apple, there must be a great opportunity for some manufacurer and retailer to offer for sale a great off-the-shelf UT phone now? For the moment we can already congratulate ourselves for the consistency of Volla, which has been producing and marketing UT-embedded devices for 6 years and promoting them on its website, the new partnership with Brax tech, whose launch of the Brax3 was a success, and the forthcoming availability of UT on this device.

@bestenaizena No problem. Helping one another is what this forum is all about.

@fake-alex So what's the plan... are you offering to send these devices to people who want to try to make a port for them? Developers need to have the device in hands.

@O.o. said in Installing Ubuntu Touch from a non-Android OS (specifically Sailfish): Mainly I can't live without Signal Have you seen that Signal-Desktop port is on the way? As of today, it still has some limitations, but it will definitely move progressively towards being a fully functional client in the coming months. https://open-store.io/app/signalut.pparent Notifications, Audio messages, and Upload/Download of pictures, will most probably make their way at some point, some of them in a not so distant future.

@wgarcia To some extent, "Praise Ubuntu Touch, it's finally suppertime!"

@MrT10001 Me and another person here on the forum tried upgrading Sony Xperia X from focal to noble, but failed. It is stuck on the bootlogo and one of the devs or porters wrote that they are still investigating in it. So the Sony Xperia X is on the list of non upgrded devices.

I struggled with this on UT. Eventually I installed dufs webdav server and I've been using that with morph. I can download files from the PC easily and I can push files to the PC easily as well using a web browser. I can even stream videos from the PC this way!

@theprivacydad You're right. But also, the name is confusing. Some may think "daily channel" is for "daily device"...
