@projectmoon Really easy, 10 minutes to understand what was expected of me, 1 minute to install and it works immediately. I saw some minor bugs, mostly display issues (especially on an external monitor). In any case, it works, it's fast, and ad-free! Two problems solved in one, thanks! (Nothing against Morph, but it still needs a little optimization.)

@uxes IIRC with fscrypt in place, just replacing shadow breaks the protectors of fscrypt, leaving the system with a broken state. Also that's the dog biting it's tail: decrypting based on the password while the file containing the password is locked, that doesn't work. Regarding bluez data: that would break bluetooth at the greeter, which might be required for some usecases.

PRIZES It will be a bit of a challenge to organise prizes as the community to spread out across the world and not everyone is able to contribute in the same way. For this reason, I think it would be good to keep it open to suggestions and anyone can put an offer on the table. Some ideas: offer to tip the winner on their librepay account if you are an artist, offer to design a logo for their app offer to translate their app to your language offer to write a profile page for the winners to go on the UT website (Like an interview about the developer) offer to write a review of the winners app (like a show case page on the UT website)

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

@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.

@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!

@grenudi Well, some quick items about this: Lomiri (aka Unity8) has 15 years of development (>) Unity is developed by a professional and capable team of designer and UX experts. I don't know why random people get the idea that the desktop is designed to be «just different from X». Lomiri has its own language and design. Object of which are simple, intuitive and beatifull. Ubuntu Touch is not Android. Ubuntu users are used to Unity patterns. So, have them in Ubuntu Touch makes sense to us. (offtopic) Andoird UI is a mess, but the more time passes, the more it adopts Unity design language.

@bamboy360 thanks for the feedback. 1- This is how Unity works. There is a difference from the Launcher that from the App drawer. 2- It has been some discussion on how to simplify all the indicators... 3- Inverted portrait should work as default but some porters blocked that feature.

@grenudi Because Ubuntu Touch is Lomiri. Without Lomiri, Ubuntu Touch loses its identity and loses its purpose. When the community/foundation picked up the project, it picked up the whole Ubuntu Touch project and continued its goal. In an ideal world, we all want the same things but in reality we want different things and that's the reason we have so many DEs and distros. One of the main goal of Ubuntu Touch and Lomiri is convergence. I know other distros also kind of touches that concept too but it's pretty obvious that UT's direction is very much different. Most of us UT users obviously like Lomiri and that's why we continue to support it and contribute to it.

@grenudi We've been more than tolerant when you came in swearing and calling us names... when you don't even use Ubuntu Touch anymore. Please don't push your luck. If you go on like this, you will wear out your welcome fast. Please consider this an official warning.

That is not a supported device, as far as I know. This means that there is no version of Ubuntu Touch for it. What exactly were you planning to install?
