@Futura said in MY perspective and experience with UT:
The million dollar question is do they work on mobile.
Desktop apps that are convergent (=adapt to and work well on smaller screens) often advertise that fact in one way or the other. If they don't, you should not expect the experience to be pleasant.
@wally yes, that is largely correct. It is possible, of course, with snaps, and I presume the same for flatpaks, to package GTK apps so they run on a QT environment, and vice versa. And there are undoubtedly already some Qt mobile apps packaged as flatpaks. So the effort to get those supported might very well be worthwhile. It is just that up till now, no concerted effort has been expended.
@messayisto if the proposed feedback is to let the developer know if the app works on noble or not, such feedback is best given by opening an issue on the provided issue tracker link. Feedback in the app store tends to become stale and no longer applicable over time. Also the developer does not get notified when it is added.
@wally said in MY perspective and experience with UT:
Most Linux apps aren't exactly made for mobile, and whether we have Flatpak or Snaps, it's not going to mean that everything just works.
This is very true. However, with most other mobile Linux projects having gone the flatpak route, there are probably more mobile friendly apps in that format than snaps at the moment. The challenge for UT adoption, besides the packaging format, is that these are mostly GTK apps, which is a different toolkit than UT uses (comparable with Gnome apps running on a KDE desktop)
Developers of UT apps are being encouraged to also packages their apps as snaps. If adoption is picked up, the amount of mobile friendly apps in the snap store will increase. This will broaden exposure of these apps, making them available for desktops as well. But it will not in itself increase app availability on UT.
@marlboro50 to boot into fastboot, start your device normally, login in, open the Terminal app and execute the command sudo reboot -f bootloader
@Ernst-Jan15 said in Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 Beta 1 is now available for testing:
UWolf stopped working.
UT 24.04 issue, but an uWolf issue. The author of uWolk is already looking into it.
@YamiYukiSenpai have you simply tried it? Snap support is baked in with 24.04. you have to either install them via the terminal or use the snap store after installing that via the terminal.
Firefox snap however will still not work as yet, since the issue there are several, not having directly to do with snaps being able to be installed or not.
There is a Firefox click you could try though. That works better, even though it is not really optimized for small screens.
It's the beginning of the journey for the FP6 to reach some day the land of UT

Don't expect it to be sooner than later 
@Kutzi
It will not help resolving your problem but I need to say you that "dual booting" UT different versions, even using slots a and b, it not supported.
Because it could lead to problems like the one you encounter.
Above that, I don't know how is managed userspace between slots, but there is slight difference between 20.04 and 24.04 (update from 20 to 24 not recommended), so if user data is shared between slots, it could lead to corruptions.
@liam
I'm really not an expert.
But from your log, from the beginning there is an error:
ERROR: Failed to detect compatible download-mode device.","code":1},"stderr":"ERROR: Failed to detect compatible download-mode device."}
Which can refer to not being able to use the communication line properly between pc and phone.
Or device not in proper mode (fastboot ?)
Then, some line after that :
debug: attempting to handle Error: no device
That can be lot of things, device really not in "downlode mode", or maybe a bug or problem with usb port or cable, or driver.
Try changing port, cable, or even use another version of the installer, or update drivers.
Again, I'm really not an expert, just a normal user with some experience having problems installing on a device.
