        @Vistaus Just follow the instructions as they are written in the OP. I assume it will get you on the RC for 24.04. But I haven't followed them myself, so I don't know for sure. It will get you on the version of 24.04 that was made available for testing in any case.

        Thanks, it worked fine - I'm on 24.04 now!

          Unfortunately, the bug where the mouse cursor can't reach the right half of the screen in landscape mode still isn't fixed. 😞 Volla said it was fixed in 24.04, in time for delivery of their keyboards with trackpads that are about to ship in the next few weeks. Did that fix not make it in this RC?

            @Vistaus Not sure where Volla got their information from, but this issue was not on the list of fixed issues for this release.

              @arubislander Shoot. I hope it does make it before the stable release of 24.04, though, else the Volla Keyboard will not be all that useful, as the trackpad cannot be used. I'll also ask Volla where they submitted the fix.

                @Vistaus, I agree that the bug is most annoying, but the keyboard will still be very useful. It is not as of the touch screen stops working when a keyboard or a mouse attached.

                  @arubislander True. I meant that I want to use the Volla Tablet as a laptop most of the time, and for that I'd rather have mouse input, but the physical keys will still be very welcomed. πŸ™‚

                    @peat_psuwit rookie question: how do I get from the stable to cc channel?

                      To change your update channel, go to the Updates page and tap the cog wheel at the right hand top to go to the update settings.

                          I did the upgrade. It went rather smoothly following the instructions.
                          Most things seem to still be working with the following exceptions [I'll add to the list as I find issues];

                          sometimes the keyboard for the login password prompt jumps up and down very rapidly. I need to force reboot the phone and then it seems to be OK.
                          Many apps no longer start.

                            For the non-strating apps it is best to open an issue about it on the individual issue trackers, which are listed in the Open Store entries for said apps. The app maintainers need to do the work to make their apps compatible with 24.04

                                  @Vistaus TIL there is indeed such a fix! I am sure we will hear official communication about it if and when it becomes available for testing.
