Could you please collect logs using the following command over ADB or SSH, then pull the file over USB?

Oof. Maybe. I will try.

I have a Bluetooth problem on this RC. It does not see most of my Pebbles and can't connect to them. I'm now back on Stable and my Pebble Time connects just fine.

@oldbutndy said in Ubuntu touch as PC?:

I did find & install snap for Thunderbird a couple days ago. Installs, but not open (actually, a 'fuzzy box with a text bar at top appears, but nothing in fuzzy box). Then tried series of questions on Google AI 'reasoning model' via browser. It had a series of troubleshooting commands to type in to terminal. I did not follow through yet due to sharing the same display between UT phone and main PC doing the AI thread. Summary was AI estimate of required spending approximately 10 hours on configuration, IF using UT on a phone that had WIRED external monitor, USB Keyboard, mouse, etc. AI thought MANY more hours required if using a wireless external display.
I gave up on Thunderbird at that point.

Please don't ask any AI how to get software to work on UT. Their training data does not contain the required info, and the correct steps cannot be extrapolated from whatever they were trained on, since sometimes the correct steps are either unknown, unfeasible for an end user, or simply don't exist yet.

Regarding the snaps from Mozilla (Firefox and Thunderbird, both) they are known not to work on UT as they are trying to use Wayland. They could be forced to use XWayland, but by then one might as well just install the click or the deb.

@Krolyn said in Linux Ubuntu for tablet Samsung A7 lite:

Good morning. I am from Brazil. I would like to know if it is possible to install Ubuntu on the Samsung A7 Lite tablet without needing a virtual machine. You are the best. Best wishes for continued success.

Hello Krolyn,
I've translated your message, because this is an English-spoken part of the forum. Welcome to the forum for Ubuntu Touch, a Linux for mobile devices.

You can check the supported devices here: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/

A caller from my agenda calls me and I see my mum's contact on the notification bubble and recent calls list

@gpatel-fr We certainly can als use gsettings. I made a proof of concept for ThemeSwitch app a while ago (https://gitlab.com/Danfro/themeswitch/-/tree/gsetting_focal?ref_type=heads).

I am almost sure we can't use other apps values without loosing confinement. The value would need to be provided by the system. I guess if GRID_UNIT_PX could be changed in system settings and apps read that, that might work. Or it may need another apparmor rule. But I am really not that knowledgable to answer all details.

@DJac said in Anyone else is having wrong Caller ID when receiving a cal?:

i don't know how they can do it

I's quite easy.
Long time ago it was thought as a feature for companies to show the front desk when a personal line is used.
So the people getting called would call back the front desk instead of the direct line of the caller.

So basically you can appear to be anyone with the right tools.
It also allows to call with masked number...

Edit: I found this that explains it (at a very high level)
