@Rinkeby I know how long it takes to write software which is featureful, and with a good UI. Especially the latter is quite difficult.
I just meant that you seemed to be saying the power of Linux was to sit back and hope that someone would come by and fix an issue that you were facing. While the true power is, as you yourself say, the possibility to jump in and explore, investigate and discover if one can solve the issue oneself.

Interestingly, the Installer asked me to rate how the installation went, i said "pass", but then it gives me a warning that the installation was stopped due to a problem.
It's the reporting process that is currently broken. Glad to hear you got it installed and are now up and running!
@Rinkeby said in Snap discussion.:
The UI part in general should be fixed. With math and/or AI redesigning the scale of things. Or just a repository of UI settings, themes and what not.
Nothing as complicated as that, thankfully. Iirc it is simply an environment variable that needs to be set.
Hope to see something like that soon. Because that is the power of linux!
Rather, the power of Linux (or Open Source in general) is that users of the software can jump in and make the change they want to see happen.

Does it flash after a missed call or text or voicemail message?
You know what, I'm not absolutely certain either way. But I'll keep an eye on it.
@Rinkeby it works as well as can be expected at this stage.
Because of the high dpi of the devices the ui elements of most snap apps are tiny. There's a work around for that, but I haven't gotten around to finding it and testing it out.
Of course the apps are not touch optimized, but most work fairly well with a touch screen nonetheless.
A more pressing issue atm is that there is no on screen keyboard in the snap apps. So an external keyboard is a must have to use any app with text input.
@Fizz said in Installing to Pixel 3a:
This was version 0.10.0? What's the name of the menu item that you see?
It is now, but I did install an earlier version first, and upgrade when the current one came out. In my menu it's listed as 'ubports-installer'.
@Fizz said in Installing to Pixel 3a:
I've downloaded the ubports-installer version 0.10.0 .deb package and installed it. So far so good.
I'm on Mint too. For me, it placed a menu entry in the main menu, so I can just start it that way.
@vince-vs said in Notification LED:
Did the led notification work on your phone ?
It depends... what are you expecting it to do?
@Lakotaubp Vim is auto installed at container creation and it surprisingly has a desktop file with an icon, but cannot be launched from the drawer.
