@ublublu @lionelb has reported success finally going from vivid to xenial on a FP2 using UBports Installer version 0.1.12-beta (YMMV).

@dobey said in Rotation lock for specific apps: As dialer-app already [...] specifies only portrait as supported orientation in the .desktop file It doesn't specify that as far as I can tell .... It rotates for me and I consider that a feature

@tomoqv some maps are working fine but I didn't have luck with the map of Spain (https://github.com/fransschreuder/OSMScout-ubuntu/issues/54).

@mardy No, I would say that is a misunderstanding of the situation. If you uninstall LibreOffice, should Ubuntu delete all the documents created with it from your hard drive? If you remove VSCode, should all the code you wrote also be deleted? Of course not. The only way it would be acceptable to delete such data when uninstalling, is if the user could be made fully and cogently aware of exactly what data may be deleted, and give them an option to preserve said data without forcing them to keep the app as well. Only after some large improvements to how we handle data and config storage, should this be considered, I think.

We got now https://forums.ubports.com/category/45/marketing-incubator - Enjoy!

Concerning purism, I think they go beyond what I expect in terms of freedom. This post shows it: https://puri.sm/posts/librem5-solving-the-first-fsf-ryf-hurdle/ Not sure why replicant guys are mad. But on a fully free software phone I would definitely not like replicant, I want a real Gnu/Linux! Also they are reproaching Intel's management engine in purism's laptop, saying it would be impossible to disable, but they actually succeed in disabling it: https://puri.sm/posts/purism-librem-laptops-completely-disable-intel-management-engine/ I recently learned about this project which seems very interesting, and allows clear control about non-free software and firmware installed. Could be usefull for a web consultation device on N900 or Sony Xperia Z2: http://postmarketos.org/ https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices I don't know if unity/ubuntu touch could be ported on it at some point.

@ukphil Well, not about Tor Browser as in the title, but VPN problems as mentioned here. The UBPorts/Ubuntu Touch NetworkManager password bug could cost you many, many hours and nerves. So have a look at https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/46 (mentioned in another post, if you're searching for 'VPN' here, as well). Read the first 4 lines of the first post – from member NeoTheThird – and the last 9. Do the job as described there, perhaps you need to study https://ubports.com/de_DE/blog/ubports-blog-1/post/terminal-chapter-1-113 as well: "To login as superuser, type: $ sudo - i and your password To COPY or PASTE: hold your finger on the screen until the contextual menu appears To SCROLL the window UP or DOWN: use two fingers and swipe To select a layout, press and hold the square icon on the bottom left side. You'll see the options. Slide the finger to the desired one. [Nano] Gnu Nano: shortcuts keys for, in this order, help, save, read, previous page, cut text, position, exit, indentation, search, next page, paste text, spellcheck: CTRL+G, CTRL+O, CTRL+R, CTRL+Y, CTRL+K, CTRL+C, CTRL+X, CTRL+J, CTRL+W, CTRL+V, CTRL+U, CTRL+T"

@pomilui If you are in USA. Ting then straight talk, freedom pop does not work with ubuntu

@fishfingers44 I am sure there are: libertine-container-manager -c 'apt search torrent' should get you going. 'deluge' might be worth a try maybe. But I am wondering if you would be able to install any packages at all in your container.

Hi @unisuperbox, Sorry, in previous post i've all mixed in a pile(( I meant that if possible, use KDE Frameworks, аor example: for the archiver to use karchive. Or make a similar a public program interface. Core apps, perform the same function in the listed environments, why not use the same basis (and the UI for each one is different according to HIG). But it probably works freedesktop.org, as well notifications, indicators, and more. PS. Sorry for my very bad English(

I confirm we are checking what is wrong.

@elias I agree with you, and I also use fastmail

@fishfingers44 maybe running Ubuntu on a VM and installing Clickable? I haven't tried it but it should work

Also TBH I doubt the real life value of many of those currencies. In the end we need to convert the donation into real money (which is by the way a tax problem also, since its hard to trace for financial governance and therefore considered as "money laundering" possibility which would be very bad for the foundation), so if we receive a donation on day x, and 2 weeks later the value has gone south, the donator has wasted his money, and we gain nothing. Unfortunately crypto currencies are highly speculative, and so are IMHO not the right vehicle for donating to a foundation that has long-term goals. BR

@3arn0wl ah, okay, thank you
