not many question here so I hope you wouldn't mind if I monopolize the question time
-
In the last Q&A Alfred said that at the moment snaps can't replace libertine because there are things in libertine that UT needs so to stay feature complete. What are these features/things?
-
hypothetically speaking: what features has click that actually make them not replaceable by snaps?
-
are you collaborating/talking with canonical/snapcrafters about the snap support on UT? i think they would be happy to be the first to have a real universal packaging system usable in all kind of platforms (yeah I know, i'm not considering the smartwatch)
-
snapd and snaps already work on a read only system called ubuntu-core, why in UT snapd/s need a writable system? will this be solved?
-
hypothetically speaking how much work is needed to have lomiri packaged as a snap and working on an all snap OS ? (ps: there is already an old snapped unity8 DE)
canonical will soon release a desktop all-snap system with a snaped Gnome version...but we all know and remember that initially the plan was to have an adaptive (the term used was "convergent") DE so to make the "universal OS" really "universal"

1// I would be interested to know your advice on how and when to transition to Focal for ordinary users. For example, I use a Volla22 as daily driver and would like to know when it is safe to update to Focal.
2// Thanks for giving some insight into VoLTE progress in the last Q&A. I would be interested to know whether Sysmocom and Volla are still working on it or whether VoLTE support solely relies on the UB Ports core team.

@UBportsNews In this thread:

some people want to help with VoLTE or suggest some kind of bounty, would that be helpful? -
Not sure if the question belongs here, but feel free to ignore it if it doesn't.
I have almost finished my first UT app, however, the app must run unconfined and with elevated privileges. To do this I looked at solutions used in other apps and basically they pass the password and call sudo in a shell session, which works..., but feels whaky...
Is there, and I don't know about, or will be, an "official" way of running apps that need elevated privileges? something along the likes of gksu?

Is it still planned that OTA-3 will be considered the first truly stable focal update ?

Well, OTA2 already feels stable, but OTA3 will be the first "default" 20.04 release
-
@JamesSunderland That sounds great - and is there a release date we can can look forward to?
-
@messayisto We are looking at approx just over a week.
-
Please carry on any further discussions in one of the main Forum sections. This thread is not the right place.
