@Jules said in Digital Danish sovereignty:

I was wondering whether anyone at UBports had thought of contacting the Danish government over this article?

I doubt that. But since UBports is all of us, maybe you could be the one?

@developerbayman There are services on UT... there is just no streamlined or officially sanctioned mechanism yet to describe and bundle services as clicks. Different apps implement different solutions to this problem when they require it.

If the service only needs to be available when the main app is running, some apps launch the background service on startup and terminate it on shutdown. If the service needs to be running independently of the main app, then you could see the app deploying and hooking up systemd user service configurations on first run.

@developerbayman said in full python clickable app prototype:

i need to learn more about clickable service mechanism

That's easy. At the moment, there is none.

As long as you don't cancel the navigation uNav will work (and it has been all this time).
If you cancel, then close and reopen uNav.

said in 20.04 Focal: uNav freezes with GPS enabled:

With gps, wifi, mobile network all on
Tap on the map
Start navigation

And for me, that was the case under Xenial.

On Focal it navigation works fine with Pure Maps, I tested it earlier this year.
But since I'm testing Noble, I don't use Focal so much...

Hi @lduboeuf

Not sure what the problem is, there might be several...
I noticed some freezes, but I can overcome them and I managed to have to location updated while walking.
When freeze occurs it's often after making a search or new navigation or this kind of operation.
Edit: to be thorough only uNav freezes.

I don't remember exactly but I think I make my search before asking to locate me.
Basically there is an order that work ; search the location, then start the navigation, then location activation.

I'm using a FP5 on Noble and Pure Maps doesn't work on Noble yet.

As a mature and comprehensive human, you'll easily understand that we need to talk the same language in order to keep the forum clear and easy to read, and to search on.

As a mature and comprehensive human, you should understand that we, all non english native speaking persons, are making the effort to communicate in the chosen language for us to talk each other, because it is one (simple) rule here to follow.

I really would prefer to speak french anywhere, anytime, but hey, as a comprehensive and mature adult I know that we can't always do whatever we want

How to Get LXD Running on Ubuntu Touch (Focal & Noble)

Here's a rough walkthrough on getting LXD running on UT based on my experience.

If you're on Ubuntu Touch Focal, you’ll need to enable snap support first. Install Snapz0r from the Open Store, run it and initialize snap support. If you're on Noble you can skip this step, since snap support is already enabled.

Next, install LXD. I used version 5.21 specifically, because newer versions gave me trouble on the JingPad. You can install it like this:

$ sudo snap install lxd --channel=5.21/stable

Once LXD is installed, initialize it with:

$ sudo lxd init

Accept all the defaults except for the storage backend. When prompted, choose dir instead of zfs, which tends to be problematic in this environment.

After that, you need to adjust the default profile to allow nested containers and privileged access:

$ sudo lxc profile set default security.nesting true
$ sudo lxc profile set default security.privileged true

Now you can launch your first container. For example, to create one based on Ubuntu Noble:

$ sudo lxc launch ubuntu:noble noble-1

Wait for the container to boot. You can check its status with:

$ sudo lxc list

Once it's up, you can enter the container with:

$ sudo lxc exec noble-1 -- bash

At this point, you should be inside a fully functional Ubuntu container running on Ubuntu Touch.

@mschmids Hard to say, as this went smooth for me. Did you type your phone number including the country indicative (ex. +41 for Switzerland)?

Also ensure your sim card is well inside the phone during this step.
