        Hi everybody,
        I have a problem with the cron job. When I use the command β€œcrontab -e” it create a new folder with a new crontab under /tmp. For example: /tmp/crontab.t5WgJT/crontab.
        I can't move it into var/spool/cron. And I cant't change the permission.
        Under /tmp the cronjob isn't execute and after a reboot it is away.
        What can I do?
        Thanks for reading and help.

          Hi, the rootfs is read only in Ubuntu Touch. I never used cron with my phone, so I don't know what options are left.

          The easy (and dirty) way is to remount the filesystem to RW and add your cron job then set it back to read only. It should work, but you'll have to redo this after a system update.

          Ubuntu Touch is pushed as an image so the system part is entirely overwritten ; hence the read only to avoid data loss.

            Thanks for answering.
            I can't set the root system to RW. This was my second idea, I tried. This i mean with "I cant't change the permission."

              @pinguin Try UT Tweak Tool from the OpenStore. It should work for you.

                And even if you make / writable, you will loose changes with the next OTA upgrade, so it makes no sense for production - what are you trying to do?

                  I want to sync my cardDAV contacts. The sync goes fine, but I would like to do it automatically every day.

                      @pinguin Well you could use a nextcloud account from one of the available client apps and synchronize through that.

                        @emphrath I use owncloud. I think, it is only possible to sync calendar. This operates very well, but I don't see the same option for contacts.

                          @pinguin I use UBsync from the Openstore to sync my cellphone (including calendar) with my nextcloud server. Works fine.

                            @nogoogle Thanks for the tip, but I can't install UBsync. In the OpenStore, startet as app, I don't find it and in the online Sotre i finde it, but if i press the install button, nothing happen. Also a download and a try to install it manually doesn't help.
                            Do you have an idea?

                              @pinguin Indeed, several apps that are not yet compatible with arm64 bits devices are not available in the Vollaphone Openstore. (Bluetooth file transfer, Linphone, etc...)

                              You can try to compile them yourself using clickable and git tools.

                                @pinguin indeed it seems like UBsync is not available for all devices. I run it on my FP2 but e.g. it is not available for pinephone/pinetab and apperntly for the volla phone.

                                  @nogoogle then its probably not compiled & uploaded for ARM64 architecture. Try to find the maintainer, that should be easily fixable πŸ˜‰
