@stanwood ...finally it was possible to get back openstore-app without re-installing via UT-installer... Looking into the log file of /opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click showed that openstore should be installed following my earlier attempts - although the app being invisible for me... So with dir command I found some files openstore* in /opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click/users/@gcinuse and /opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click/users/phablet which were invisible in filemanager-app althought show hidden files swich ticked. The files were removed with sudo rm -rf command, controlling the result with dir command. Before attempting to do a complete reinstall I did a rebooting (@Ian @iduboeuf, we discussed a similar problem with hidden files recently...) and - tadaaa - openstore-app was back again. Thank you a lot to all contributors!! I will switch the post to solved state. By the way, how can you hide files making them invisible for the filemanager

@gpatel-fr yep you were right, going down to the specific projects helped. Thanks once again

@0xinit69 As we use ofono (as other linux for mobile), perhaps could you search if another mobile linux user of another OS could give you the good parameters for your operator...

@Alain said in Where is the Desktop?: How hard can it be? Famous last words.

@haagch said in uWolf (LibreWolf): My hope for real wayland support is that it improves not rendering stuff when idle. Currently when I run uWolf and power off the screen (even when I focus another app), lomiri permanently uses 30-40% cpu and pulseaudio 15%. 00b16def-826f-477d-8885-69a1d82969f3-image.png This makes the phone a nice pocket warmer, but also sucks the battery pretty fast. Or currently, might there be a way to tell firefox to drop its rendering while the screen is off or another app is focused, like maybe "minimizing" it in xwayland? This is an Xmir problem , same result with signal desktop https://forums.ubports.com/topic/11538/xmir-lomiri-high-cpu-usage-battery-drain.

@kulrich Maybe contact volla? They are main contributors for volla devices after all... Did you buy it with UBports preinstalled?

@MrClayPole Oh DisplayLink? Yeah no, that definitely won't work in UT. That is a proprietary tech that needs a software or app or something. It's actually a nice tech because the device doesn't need to support display out but it needs the app on Android.

but sharing about overall experience, I'm really happy with FP5. It works flawlessly with my 4k monitor and docking station. I can just plug it and use from mouse/keyboard/monitor. That's just awesome. FP4 was probably working similarly with FHD but I don't have any low resolution screen anymore, so I never tested it (I just can confirm that it couldn't drive 4k resolution). I just hope FP7 will have fully fictional USB-C again (as FP6 allows only charging, no docking capabilities!!!)

It functions! I was opening the apps the wrong way round. Thank you.

@messayisto So will i do !

@rheomie Press power button and volume buttons together for at least forty seconds or until the device reboots. If not leave it on charge for a few hours and try powering up.

@Opolork said in Where can i highlight spelling errors on app pages on the OpenStore website?: Hi @CiberSheep. Ok. I posted to those places already over a week ago but nothing has been done. These things take time. They are volunteers like you. Patience.

@Linuxlite76 In my experience this issue is device dependant, port dependant and different in rc, stable and daily channel sometimes, so its a liitle guess and hit

@O.o. said in Installing Ubuntu Touch from a non-Android OS (specifically Sailfish): Mainly I can't live without Signal Have you seen that Signal-Desktop port is on the way? As of today, it still has some limitations, but it will definitely move progressively towards being a fully functional client in the coming months. https://open-store.io/app/signalut.pparent Notifications, Audio messages, and Upload/Download of pictures, will most probably make their way at some point, some of them in a not so distant future.

@MrT10001 said in Do you think you know Ubuntu Touch ?: Loved Scopes Ouh. I tend to forget them. When I kind of understood the use of some, they were ditched. I mean, I thought they would have more interested for me as «rss readers», like a sink of types of messages...

@Moktrull Yeah, sadly there's not much tablet choices for UT. I also like a tablet and for now, Lenovo M10 HD is my only option

@gpatel-fr Vndk deprecation happens in Android 15, not 14 - unless Halium 14 means Android 15 ? I think the only thing UT has to do with VNDK is mount the correct partitions to be read by the android container, which handles the rest. Ask in the porting group for more detail, there are already some short discussions around it. to check the vndk version, it's necessary to enable debug mode on the phone, connect a computer through usb and use adb You can install an app called Treble Info from F-Droid.

@RJDan Oh okay. I guess you're on Noble and only the Essentials version is available for now The full version is available from the repo but it will be released in Ambot soon

@Alain This featute isn't in UT/Lomiri yet. Simplest way is to make something like a home screen app and there are some that exists already like Launcher Modular. Not sure they have app groups though. You can contribute to them if you don't want to make your own. However, they obviously act like a normal app. Best you can do is pin it to the Launcher for easy access. Or you can contribute to Lomiri and implement it in the App drawer which definitely needs some love There's even a bounty for it so there's money to get
