      I'm looking to use my Ubuntu touch device to connect directly, with an OTG ethernet adapter, to a variety of networks. I'll need to be able to adjust the scheme to connect. is there a way graphically to adjust these settings? is a feature like this planned? if not can somebody point me in the right direction for finding a way to do this through the terminal?

        @makesdream shouldn't connecting to the OTG 'just work' if your device supports OTG? πŸ€”

          @arubislander I think OTG is a bit more complex than that, I've tried using hubs before that work fine with some devices.

          Look at USB-C audio for example, that doesn't work on ubuntu touch, but the volume up and down buttons work.

          There's oddities with these configurations, sadly.

            @PhoenixLandPirat iirc the issues with audio not working over OTG are due to missing audio drivers not to OTG itself.

              @arubislander it "works" as in it connects to a DHCP network but i was wanting fine control over what IP I was requesting. my work requires me to configure networks and connect to devices on networks in this way. there doesn't seem to be built in manual IP settings in Ubuntu Touch, at least graphically, but I'd be interested in finding out how to do this with some kind of CLI or even a script. I'm really well versed in Windows but total noob when it comes to linux.

                @makesdream Thanks for clarifying.

                You could start by searching online for the generic way to do what you want on Ubuntu via the command line. It should be similar, or the same for Ubuntu Touch, provided that the required packages are pre-installed on the rootfs. You might also need to mount your root filesystem read / write if you will be needing to edit configs outside of your home-folder. Be sure to search for instructions for the specific version of Ubuntu that your UT setup is running on (xenial or focal).
