@pparent Thanks for posting that article, I hadn't heard. Low probability of success can be offset by low cost and high value of success. I think the moment we're in presents opportunity like never before. In addition to the French government looking at digital sovereignty, the Danish government is trying to get away from American tech companies. I could imagine many other governments may be considering this. We don't have the interoperability rules here in Canada, but I'm still going to be suggesting to my member of parliament and a couple of ministers that the government should be proactive in examining and acting on the threat posed by the fact that most members of our government, military, and general populace use privacy-intrusive smartphone OSes controlled by a couple USA-based tech companies whose CEOs have already demonstrated a willingness to comply with what increasingly demonstrates itself to be an aggressive and authoritarian government. (I respect the forum's rules about not getting political and hope this didn't cross any lines, but I think what I said is factual and relevant to the point I'm making. I'm not taking a position here on whether annexation is cool, just trying to explain why I think there's an opportunity for UT.) Matrix has benefited from being adopted by various governments and militaries, even if in pilot projects. The challenge is much greater with mobile OS adoption, but if the resources and the need are there, it doesn't seem impossible. My government, for example, is suddenly trying to spend vastly more than ever before on the military and routinely falls short of its spending targets. I could make the argument that a secure, private and functional mobile OS is of strategic military importance And I will! Opportunities like this don't always last very long.

Viability: hmmm, at the moment: No voice calls (no VoLTE) on Pixel 3A (which WAS a primary supported phone for UT), on UT in USA (which is the third largest phone market by country, or 4th largest by region, after Europe). [alternative: VOIP - NOT available in openstore for most recent version UT] That is pretty NON-Viable, if you want a phone you can make calls on. Is that the fault of the UT teams ? I would say NO, it is the fault of the much larger system cancelling 2G, 3G, (USA & Australia , etc, now, and changing worldwide, with plans in place over 10 years ago) and the fact that the drivers for the radio chips and most others are closed source or Android or whatever. Who would be the ones to fix it ? UT dev teams, if at all. Or, what about WiFi calling ? Not functional. Is that the fault of UT devs, or other main stream code (from the larger base) being unavailable ? OR some phone brands / models NOT supporting required radio bands in some countries. NOT Viable. I think PC's are a better analogy than cars, since we are mostly talking software here, not hardware. if using cars analogy, could mention how air bag manufacturers caused a huge recall problem for a variety of car manufacturers. Q: So, where did UT come from ? A: 1) a gigantic base of hardware and software: major players who recently CANCELLED (in some countries, and in process in others) the fundamental ability of UT to make phone calls, through changes to the larger hardware and software system. A: 2) a few dedicated, volunteer developers who are doing their best to modify code for specific devices to overcome above obstacles.

I did not try your method yet, however I debugged the problem in my method. It's something (I guess Lomiri itself) that is sending a signal when the window is paused while switching. It is killing xev. The fix is to use TweakUT to keep the terminal awake, then my method works whatever the launch mode (direct > or with starting a new task &>) So I could repro the problem you have seen. No discrepancy here. I have looked a bit at Firefox and Chrome under vanilla Linux (Kubuntu 24.04) and xev reports something very different than under UT. That is, no strange events, basically the system reports the menu being created and mapped and that's all. I have also 'packaged' a recent version of Firefox freshly downloaded from the editor's site, that is, I did env GDK_DPI_SCALE=2 MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 DISABLE_WAYLAND=1 ./firefox and the menus in the top bar display (if no scaling were done, I'd guess that the menu would display if by a stroke of luck I could hit the minuscule screen area) So my guess is that's not a clever packaging trick, that's something that Firefox is doing differently than Chrome. I searched for a Chrome Linux arm64 build but it seems that Google has insufficient resources to generate arm64 Linux builds (it's not a joke, it's exactly what is said by a Google employee in the Chrome issue tracker). I'd say that as under UT Chrome and Firefox are hitting XWayland that is hitting Mir, the problem could be all the way down to Mir. The version of Mir in current 24.04 UT is woefully outdated. When it will be updated, the way forward will be to switch to Wayland anyway and drop XWayland.

@gpatel-fr it was about a year ago, I didn't do extensive testing, but none of the .mkv I tried worked, and .mp4 were very hit-and-miss. Good to know it isn't Hallium-related, perhaps there's hope to fix it on this device. @Charly the issue w/ that is that, AFAIK, Libertine apps aren't hardware-accelerated, and video playback often gets choppy (it was one of the workarounds I tried). Didn't try the snap version though.

@lduboeuf I think that I can as well note here the results of my sunday tests with Radicale and UT, it will allow me to retrieve them easily and maybe be of some usefulness to others: it works with 24.04-1.1 stable, but it can be quirky. I used a test server that has already other databases, notably an address book, and these database were proposed as options for sync with the calendar. It's already a problem since an address book is not a calendar. However it got worse since even after selecting the right database, the sync failed repeatedly until I deleted the 'wrong' databases. The server reported a 400 error on some query aimed to the address book (why oh why since I asked specifically to sync with the calendar...) and the whole sync was failed (I guess that Google Calendar has not this problem since it's just a calendar, it does not try to support all kind of Dav databases like Radicale do) This was reported by a red indicator in the UI, however the detailed journal was not particularly enlightening, it reported error codes (10400 ? I guess it was error code 400 with database number 10 - so very Unixy error reporting ) The whole testing was not made easier by the syncevolution user interface, a software that has a conception of 'user friendly' that is decidedly selecting its friends. I had to delete the offending files with 'rm' in the evolution (not syncevolution) directory via the command line to get rid of the excess databases in the UI, while they all got back when I deleted the last one (the calendar). Finally butchering my test server was the right option (and now I don't have any failing test case anymore ).

@projectmoon said in standard browser: is there something in the DB that allows it to select a browser without excluding apps from the list by doing a fake domain? no, that's why I did this ugly hack (that will most probably not survive an update btw). Adding a column named for example pref_order to the urls table and sorting by it instead of the row_id (that can't be changed since it's an implicit column) could allow to change dynamically the browser. It would be nice to have if alternative browsers could be used. I don't know if the packagers for alternative browsers would be motivated enough to search what is missing for that.

@ChromiumOS-Guy said @oldbutndy not really it would help a lot yes but you can use standard reverse engneering software to check it, also engneering roms have unlocked bootloader so you just compare that to the oldest release if an engneering rom exists. I actually spent more time looking into this yesterday. I did sequential question search using google AI, and asked about finding a bit to change, etc. The answers sounded reasonable (AI is sometimes very good at that, so I am not sure if all were true ...) For one thing, it said the setting was in special partition. It might have said encrypted. And that the special protection firmware in the T-Mobile models check any changes to that partition. I saved the interaction to a file, but have not edited it for clarity yet. But it was convincing enough to completely give up on BE2028, and the Metro model (# ?).

@Bubu Kein Problem, falls es noch klemmt, sag' Bescheid.

@MrT10001 does it also work on 2GB/32GB version with android 10 because there isn't a update to android 11?

I tried to enter command in the terminal: sudo snap install libreoffice. It installed. This version of LibreOffice seems to work better than the libertine version I described above. Some dialogs end up partially outside the monitor in desktop mode, but it is indeed usable.

@oldbutndy Great as you say ,but , i do not code... i share your hope .

@libremax Wow, nice! Thanks to whoever did the work and thanks for letting me know!

@MrT10001 thanks

@pparent Will let you know if an upgrade fix it and pinpoint what happend. Yes , devs must know . Thanks for min browser .

It's beginning now.

@pparent I have a OnePlus Nord N10 that I could give to you if it's of any use. It's running 24.04-2.x and the battery isn't very good anymore. I would reset it to factory settings and send it to you. What do you think?

Interesting answers here are from Plamen, from Braxtech: Q: Will there be an easily buildable close-to-mainline Linux kernel? Will changes be upstreamed to the mainline linux kernel? A: Yes, to both. We’re getting that promise from MediaTek and the integrator they hired for the linux part. Q: Will fingerprint support work on linux? How will the camera look? Should we expect the camera to be green and blurry at the start? A: The mandate is to get everything working, as it will on Android. We will communicate a linux roadmap in due course. One of the main reasons for selecting the g720 by MediaTek (and not a way cheaper alternative such as Rockchip 3588) was the strategic importance for MediaTek to run linux on it - this is their latest high end IoT chip. Most of their customers for the chip will run Linux. Obviously, the camera won’t beat iPad, but it will not be crap.

@Lumpology the N10 5G has volte support. Since the N100 is the same port, I would have expected that to have support as well. @mario.ch, have you tried it recently with 24.04.1/stable?

@kristatos My provider is Vodafone, which has no special features. The settings are identical to those of my other email programs.
