@developerbayman I hear you. I tried to register with four different clients, including the Ubuntu Snap and the Telegram webapp. All claimed to be sending a code to my 'other devices' or by SMS. Only way I actually got anywhere was to install the official Android SDK APK (from the Telegram website) to an actual Android device. (Going through the Google Play Store would probably have worked, but I would draw the line before that!) After registering with the official Android app, all the other clients authenticate no problems.

Well, I asked just for curiosity, I was expecting nothing. Thanks for your help by the way.

@stropbu said in CHUWI Vi8 Ubuntu Touch?: Has anyone installed it? No, because that's not a supported device. There is nothing to install.

@floris Will keep an eye out for your message you might also find this of interest https://forums.ubports.com/topic/8670/development-planning-2023-lets-take-over-the-world/18

it's very very beautiful

Hey there! Thanks for sharing the Yumi calendar for 2023; it looks great! I especially love the cute illustrations.

@delphi_coder To add to what @TotalSonic has already mentioned Some phone manufacturers do provide the sources for their modifies kernels (all should, legally, but only some do unfortunately), but the drivers are proprietary binary blobs without available source code. These drivers are written to work with specific versions of the kernel. They could possibly work with a newer kernel if they were recompiled against itm, but alas, that cannot be done, since the there is no available source code for the drivers. Something being Ubuntu is not defined by the package manager or the Desktop Environment. Ubuntu Core exists, which does not use apt, and the dozens of flavors, each focussing on a different DE, and some even without any, also show that the DE does not define a distro being Ubuntu or not either. Ubuntu Touch uses the Ubuntu repos for its base packages, and Canonical has granted the project permission to use the name Ubuntu in the name for the OS.

Another update: Qtractor can be installed via Libertine (with libqtcore4 as prerequisite) and functions. Trouble is that Jack doesn't work and so actually recording on Qtractor hasn't happened for me yet. I think a real-time plugin is needed. I'm hoping someone who knows more than me will weigh in, but would this be useful to us?: https://ubuntu.com/engage/an-introduction-to-real-time-linux-part-i Or does anyone know how to get Jack working with interface? I will mess around with ALSA and see if I can get some MIDI stuff done. Balrong

@taiga-woods said in Tshirt request: It would be great if those merch shirts and hoodies were organic and fair I agree. And looking at the label, they seem to be! At least the shirts... I can't vouch for the hoodies as I can't check the label while I'm wearing it.

I would not count on it, there is a reason why it specifically lists the global version. And trying to install on a device that is almost but not precisely the right one is a great way to brick it.

You are correct i got rootfs rw all i fid was try again i guess it just took the 37th try .....whole thing makes no sense but it works Also im able to run clickable from the command line

@kuko Sorry that is not how it works. Each device needs it's own port and the developer needs to own one. You arte free to try yourself if you can plenty of help is available. https://forums.ubports.com/topic/206/will-you-port-to-device-x https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2068/halium-first-steps/1

@vinay5 Sadly it doesn't wok like that. It mostly depends if someone who has the device is willing and capable of creating the port. Then at that point, it'll then depend to the manufacturer if they release kernel sources which is essential to creating usable ports and other aspects of the device as well such as unlockable bootloader.

@redxxiii matrix is fantasic, we have a ubports space so people can easily find related rooms without having to ask people to redirect them to the right place. Issue is onboarding, and no great matrix app on ubuntu touch. Fluffychat is okay, and cinny is great in desktop mode but not fantastic in mobile mode, I have dreams that we'll have neochat or something as good someday, but neochat requres newer qt.

@capsia Oh, Thank you !

@snoopy No one can answer this question, there is no list of futur ported devices. Most of ports are done by community members, people like you and me, that own a certain device and wish to have UT on it. PS : don't make a thread for asking someone to port on your device, it's against UBports code of conduct
