      I updated the OpenStore app in the E4.5 and now the search works better. I could install sensorstatus from there.

      KnownDict is here https://launchpad.net/knowndict but I have to look for a click pkg...

          KnownDict was running as an app on my OWA15 device and have had support for the so called StarDict files, i.e. for dictionary files in that format. I own a Spanish dictionary of around 100.000 words. This is not to translate from, for example, Spanish to English, but to get the correct spelling and explanations of a given word, and examples of the usage. I really miss that. I will write an email to the old list, maybe someone has a backup of the click package...

            @guru I have good memories of knowndict as well! Seems its enough to

            bzr branch lp:knowndict
            cd knowndict 
            clickable --sdk 16.04
            

            I get through the wizard. But I cant remember anymore how to put a dictionary in there πŸ˜›

              The click tar contains two dictionaries:

              share/qml/knowndict/pre_installed
              share/qml/knowndict/pre_installed/langdao_ce
              share/qml/knowndict/pre_installed/langdao_ce/langdao-ce-gb.ifo
              share/qml/knowndict/pre_installed/langdao_ce/langdao-ce-gb.dict
              share/qml/knowndict/pre_installed/langdao_ce/langdao-ce-gb.idx
              share/qml/knowndict/pre_installed/langdao_ec
              share/qml/knowndict/pre_installed/langdao_ec/langdao-ec-gb.idx
              share/qml/knowndict/pre_installed/langdao_ec/langdao-ec-gb.dict
              share/qml/knowndict/pre_installed/langdao_ec/langdao-ec-gb.ifo
              

              Check, where they endup in the mobile. IIRC, it's enough to make a new dir and place the three files into it.
              Will later check, if I find a slot in time....

                Terence Sambo from the old ubuntu-phone mailing list, compiled a click for me and I installed it with

                phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/dict$ pkcon --allow-untrusted install-local knowndict.benyfu_0.1.3-15.04_armhf.click
                Installing files              [=========================]

                Finished                      [=========================]         
                Installed   	knowndict.benyfu-0.1.3.armhf (installed:click,removable=1,app_name=KnownDict)	summary goes here
                phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/dict$ sudo click register --user=phablet 'knowndict.benyfu' 0.1.3
                [sudo] password for phablet: 
                phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/dict$ 
                

                The rest was just importing my dictionary via the file manager app.

                A big thanks to Terence!

                    The broken E4.5 returned from bq.com today, repaired (they swapped the screen for 120 EUR). It runs some version of UT.

                    How can I update this to the most recent version of UBports? I have no M$ laptop, only FreeBSD and some older Ubuntu 15.x

                    Thanks

                      @guru The installer should work with ubuntu 15 I think, if you have any issues try an older version of the installer like 0.1.12

                        I've downloaded the file ubports-installer-0.1.21-beta.freebsd and can have a look into it with

                        $ xz -dc ubports-installer-0.1.21-beta.freebsd | tar tf -
                        +COMPACT_MANIFEST
                        +MANIFEST
                        /opt/ubports-installer/LICENSE.electron.txt
                        /opt/ubports-installer/LICENSES.chromium.html
                        /opt/ubports-installer/blink_image_resources_200_percent.pak
                        /opt/ubports-installer/content_resources_200_percent.pak
                        ...
                        

                        How is this to be installed and used on FreeBSD?

                        I tried to rename the archive to the normal file name for FreeBSD packages, integrated it in my repository and tried to install it, which gives:

                        # mv ubports-installer-0.1.21-beta.freebsd /usr/local/PKGDIR.20170304/ubports-installer-0.1.21-beta.txz
                        # pkg repo /usr/local/PKGDIR.20170304
                        pkg -R /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/ install ubports-installer
                        Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
                        meta.txz                                 : 100%  264 B     0.3kB/s    00:01    
                        packagesite.txz                          : 100%  418 KiB 428.5kB/s    00:01    
                        Processing entries:  88%
                        pkg: wrong architecture: linux:4:x86:64 instead of FreeBSD:12:amd64
                        pkg: repository FreeBSD contains packages with wrong ABI: linux:4:x86:64
                        Processing entries: 100%
                        Unable to update repository FreeBSD
                        Error updating repositories!
                        

                        Can the dev who created this archive please contact me? Thanks.
