Hello everyone again!
Is it possible to patch the kernel to be able to run libertine on Gemini yet?
I thought of a useful thing, if I would be able to use a part of the right hand side of the display as track pad (control a mouse cursor), this would make it easier to use desktop applications in libertine.
Best Regards

I doubt there is a kernel patch needed for libertine. If it runs UT it runs libertine I would say.

@doniks Hello!
Nice!
I which to use UT as main OS on my device, but a few things hold me back right now.
Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of my statements. (I have yet to watch the latest Q&A.)
- 16.04 is not ready yet.
- anbox is not ready yet.
- it's not installable through the official installer. (will it be?)
But I keep my hopes up that those issues will be resolved in the near future.
How ever, as a former UT user I'm very exited! (Used a Meizu MX4.)
Best Regards

@zzarr hi
- The xenial base is ready but some apps are not yet
- Anbox works in some devices but not in others. After OTA-4 is released, Marius says he's going to add a lot of improvements, even in qualcomm devices
- You can install 16.04 RC or devel using the ubports-installer now. In fact, you can do that since a long time ago

@advocatux Hello!
Thanks for a quick response!
Are you sure that the Gemini PDA is installable through the ubports-installer?
It is not listed on the webpage.Do anbox work with bluetooth apps? (I have a smartwatch which I wish to have running.)
I know @TheKit got UT running on the Gemini PDA. The big question there is, is it ready for daily use?
I really hope that the Gemini PDA will be officially supported.
Best Regards

@zzarr ah, I didn't mean on Gemini PDA. Because you said "I which to use UT as main OS on my device" I thought you were talking about another device, sorry!
Anbox is under development, and in a very early stage, and there's a bug about bluetooth and watches (https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/766) so more than likely it doesn't work out of the box.

@advocatux Hello again!
I see, maybe it'll be useful in the near future.
I have a Idea when it comes to libertine (the UI), could a virtual trackpad be added? (Maybe it exists and I have not used libertine for a long time?)
Best Regards

could a virtual trackpad be added?
@zzarr generally speaking, I think anything is possible if someone with the necessary knowledge and skills wants to improve something in UT
but I don't know the technical requirements of that to give you an specific answer -
Did anyone get the UBPorts on Gemini PDA 4G / Wifi?

I am also interested. Got my Cosmo (almost Gemini but with modem) and plain linux kind of awkward to use on it. Some Touch apps would be nice to have thus.

@kaim
I asked about interest for incoming Astro Slide, wich is a very interesting device from my point of view, but got nothing very incouraging about it here...
