@Smirftsch Yeah, the idea of Dekko or another email client as a core app makes sense to me. Longer term, I thought at one point I heard talk about trying to fork Thunderbird, possibly via Snaps, which will be enabled by default in 24.04. But I'm sure that'll require some work to function well in UT. Meanwhile, I hope some other input about email usage, and Dekko specifically, can help make UT more useable for you.

@TotalSonic thanks for that, really I'm interesting to see what possible solutions might be available.

@Alain it's great to read your good news! Thank you and I hope your daughter will enjoy her tablet for a long time.

@johndoe we are working on a plugin to lomiri system settings like Libertine plugin. I already have most things implemented in backend, mostly lack some generation control over nix/home-manager left other then that mainly implementing the main UI, I have a design ready just need to implement it.

@DenMoore Oh thank you! Nice start indeed! I think WayDroid needs some patches to run properly, this is a "porting" stuff. I'm sure it will come further.

@kristatos I concur! There are guidelines outlined by the gsma for an RCS client and from what I read from this reditor there are even Servers outlined in the GSMA docs for sending RCS messages for some carriers. It seems that SixDigitCode has made some great points for how a RCS client could be built. From what I see they have a handle on this spec, and it might be worth seeing if they are still around on the internet? I will post again with the updated documents from the GSMA and work on trying to break them down Helpful Reddit posts Post 1 Post 2

@harrisonpatm Please do! And let us know how you get on.

@arubislander said in Can I boot to tty/console only?: While it may not be exactly what you asked, you might be interested in a post I wrote on installing LXD and running LXD containers on your UT device. I'll be trying this now, thanks for the advice

@developerbayman x86_64? I don't think that'll happen. You probably already know that Ubuntu and other GNU/Linux distributions are almost always x86(_64) (meaning they're operating systems for computers). But... Ubuntu Touch is specifically customized to run GNU/Linux on phones, instead of smartphones running default operating systems like iOS, Android, or HarmonyOS (yeah, I'm adding that here because it's a real OS). If Ubuntu Touch had an x86_64 version, I'd find that very strange... Ubuntu Touch's interface is Lomiri, so there's already an x86_64 Ubuntu "distro" using that.

You can install Termux on any Android Tablet and run a full blown Linux desktop there. It's relatively easy to setup and works very well. That's at least my replacement until something comparable is reached in Linux OS world. The Volla tablet should get support on UT soon, at least I hope so and look forward to it.

I cannot edit so update in new post: I am able to boot into fastboot mode using standard key combination and trying install ubuntu touch.

Updated: Now this script is almost unnecessary on Ubuntu/Debian or some Ubuntu/Debian based distros, it can still run the old script fine. But I still do this project so that other Linux distro users can still build without any problems.

@Moem very cool! I'm not able to make it unfortunately. But definitely a very interesting event that I would like to visit next time.

@Joadri Hi For me it didn't work with redmi note9pro It shows connected I wife but nothing casted

To be fair, this is a very valid use case. I've wanted this right from the start since if you use external keyboard and mouse, you won't need the virtual one so the screen will be useless. In Samsung DeX, you can do this although I noticed that some apps wakes it up when doing certain things. In any case, there's no way to do this right now. It might need changes to the lower level components such as Mir. Also note that unlike Samsung DeX, UT is using the same UI or DE when connected to an external display so anything you do on the device would affect both displays.

@Keneda Didn't work neither with Firefox on KUbuntu during the Q&A

And it is working for me. Thank you from me as well. This work is much appreciated.

@AppLee Ok i have joined the crowdfunding campain. Let's cross fingers now.
