@projectmoon said: complaints about UT not upstreaming that's exactly that, the talking electric heater is used to put in form and make convincing prejudices. Upstreaming is good yes ? actually that's the case when what you are upstreaming is of general use. If UT developers are stumbling into bugs in linux or systemd and they are sending fixes, that's of general use. When PostmarketOS are writing drivers for hardware that is specific to phones, it would be of general use if there was a thriving market for linux phones. That's the prejudice I am talking about; it supposes existing something that is plainly non existent. In the mean time, drivers for these specific devices are coming when this hardware is usually no longer in use and these ten of thousands of lines of code are just loading work for the linux kernel team, useless for everyone in the linux market but PostmarketOS. However when you are using a talking electric heater, this kind of thingy is really good at counting, especially big numbers, and the ten of thousands of lines of mostly useless drivers are litteraly drowning the small contributions of UT developers and so encode the prejudice of the person writing this trolling garbage. That's what it is: a troll. Linking this troll into other unrelated posts leaves no doubt. Talking electric heaters have many uses, including helping writing better trolls. Thanks for this troll, it has helped me to understand the true risks of using talking electric heaters, like all tools they can be misused, language can be used to communicate but also to destroy and in bad hands language can be as dangerous as a hammer.

@kugiigi said: @DenMoore Isn't FuriOS use like Debian + Phosh? But yeah, Halium exists so we can have usable alternative OSes without having to go through the rigorous process of mainlining every device. Mainline is much better but not realistic to get something usable immediately. Or within any reasonable time frame, unfortunately. The OnePlus 6 is probably as far back as I'd stretch "reasonable," and it's on the tail end of "reasonable," being ~7 (8?) years old at this point. It's extremely unfortunate. FuriOS is Phosh on top of Debian base, yes, probably with some other stuff to make the phone work as well.

@arubislander no ideia! It is what appears! I checked the data in the phone and it is the correct one.

Reporting back for future generations, I think I've found the issue. I was retracing my steps and found this: When installing postmarketOS there is a device specific instructionto run "fastboot oem uart enable" command. So I tried to run "fastboot oem uart disable" and then flash UT. So far working like a charm. Did a switch off, did a restart and all works as I'd expect it - also with Libertine set up.

actually this is been a few months coming

@PhAndersson @gpatel-fr So the fix is in 1.3 daily. Wait 1.3 candidate to test. Thanks.

@MarcelloTogg Core merged requests help to see too https://gitlab.com/groups/ubports/development/core/-/merge_requests?scope=all&state=merged

@undrwater the thing is Ubuntu Touch is a left, top OS. It would ideal is developers follow the Human Interface Guidelines and stop pushing bottom controls into apps. And again, there is no «global back» concept because we have the app spread to switch from app to app. And the launcher to launch apps. Of course there's an in-app back, end it is on the top left corner.

@Kadafi I have a FP5 and the 2FA app you are talking about installs without problem. Maybe it's because I'm on stable while by using daily you are exposing yourself to any fleeting update bug. The usual cause of this problem is network error. Try to download the click by hand using Morph QT6 browser and visiting open-store.io. If you can't download it, either your network is blocking somehow or your install is hosed (I have already warned you against this possibility, I'm still not convinced by your counter-arguments...) If you can, navigate to the resulting file and try to install it from there using the store app.

@pparent lol reminds me of a ancient proverb i just made up ....."isolation is good until one dies of loneliness" ...

On my home wifi I have no issues, so just playing around with the phone now. It's very smooth and responsive. Wonder how it will work with my SIM here in Japan.

@AndroFree NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER RELOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER! .... i do not trust the xaiomi unlock process that much ...not a fan at all

@oldbutndy im actually shaving like .....idk ..500 yaks? ...lol im slowing porting my entire pylinux software suite to UT with a few extras like this ....a aethersx2 ps2 emulator snes9x maybe retroarch if nobody did that one already? ....im gonna do alot of esp32 and meshtastic stuff ...i mean the sky is the limit ....health and money permitting

@Martin230799 check NetworkManager is enabled make sure this file looks like this: phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf [main] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile [ifupdown] managed=true [device] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no if ifupdown managed is false, networkmanager is not managing the network interfaces. in my case it somehow works with it being false but that is most certianly some kind of bug, it should be true.

@pparent I enter the Open Store, seatch for a Authenticator app, Click on 2FA Manager, click on the green install button and the transfer animation stays forever.

@grief493 I see you have the right mindset for all this, better than the one I had when I was trying ubtouch, so I doubt my report will be of any use to you, you seem to have a sense of direction on your own. Anyway, thank you for your attention, and its a pleasure to see such a collective contribution mindset that you present. Best of luck!

@oldbutndy said: I thought sm-xcx was updating details on specific device pages They are. That means updating the already existing text, not adding new sentences.

This will not be possible as a confined app. You will need a background service that listen to incoming sms and forward it. I'm not sure if such app can be allowed in the openstore, but here is a few things to know. First create your background service, it could be in standard python if you are familiar with. Ofono is the service that emit notifications when new incoming sms, it uses dbus. api can be found here: https://github.com/rilmodem/ofono/blob/master/doc/messagemanager-api.txt (old repository but sending and receiving sms still like that ) AI can help you with a minimal script. then when your service seems to work, you have to create all the plumbery to install/remove/run it, you can find an example with battery-saver app: https://gitlab.com/lduboeuf/battery-saver/

@Shriharsh-Kulthe It is an old phone (with the micro USB port) and the fact it updated to Noble may indicate further work may be done. It is not a common device though and I did use it for my main UT device for a while.

@Moem You are welcome, hopefully this can help with your issue
