Ubuntu Touch Q&A177 call for questions

johndoe

@sap Probably hard to tell, because nobody tried it jet. But Lomiri is in the official Debian 13 package repos, so you should be able to install it with apt (but I have only tried it out on x86/amd64 machines jet).

@Linuxlite76 Maybe I do not understand the question, but there is already a ubports forum app in the OpenStore and it works quite good for me:
https://open-store.io/app/myutforum.josele13

For reporting a bug for a specific app, you can look at what is linked under "Source Code" or "Get support for this app" at the app page in the OpenStore. It usually points you to a gitlab page, where you can report an issue to the developer.

The system pushes the Noble upgrade to devices running on Focal, but don't seem to work with Noble. The specific example I am talking about is the Lenovo Tab TB-X605F/L 3Gb/32Gb version. The upgrade notification appears, upgrade and it just boots to recovery after installation. Running it through the installer results in the same thing. (Yes I know this tablet is a problem child). Would it be possible to stop this and/or remove the upgrade path for Noble from the installer?

(Similar things mentioned with the OP Nord N100 and OP Nord N10 5G, installer is fine with them).

Is the installer now working with Apple based Silicon Macs (M1 - M5) as Apple have just released the M5 version?

Hello everyone!

My device started to flicker after installing the App Screen Clock, then I changed the UT to the daily channel and now I have a broken device. It doesn't boot anymore. This is kind of an annoying issue that should not occur.
I consider to flash UT on another device, but on devices page it states that "X This is an outdated Ubuntu Touch release" and the version is 20.04 OTA-10 since weeks. Is it safe to install UT now?
Thank you for a good answer!

Are there plans for a 20.04-OTA11 or have development efforts fully moved on to 24.04? I'm hoping for a volte fix on my FP4

@gandalf There will be a 20.04 OTA-11 Release, see here.

actually mac m1 has a arm64 cpu and I asked becuase I know Alfred is also a mac user so maybe he has some insights

zakafx

on the last call it was mentioned that the kernel supports wireguard, can this be implemented in the settings/VPN page?

Thanks @mariogrip for the big work on Morph.
A question about : is current morph preview enough secure to connect to accounts when possible ?

Edit : accounts : bank, amazon, ebay... where we have an account and access to our personal data and means of payments

Hello.
Is there any chance that rsync will return in a future OTA update for my favourite OS?
I did find a very old version via snap, but it's not great...
Thank you all for the continuous development and quality of UT!

Helloo
If it's possible, are you thinking of implementing RCS to send and receive messages ?
Thank you for the answer and the amazing work !

Hello,
It would be nice if some shell programs were included again in ubuntu touch:

fdisk
rsync
encfs
mat2

It would also be nice if ext4 was possible as a file system for the micro SD card.

Has the error with the incorrect GPS metadata in photos now been fixed?

Thank you very much and best regards
Charly

Firstly thanks to the community, Ubuntu Touch on my Fairphone 4 on 24.04-1.1 RC1 is awesome!

I would like to ask regarding the future of Ubuntu Touch, is it planned to move away from a Ubuntu base and move to something like Debian for example? If not, what are the advantages of a Ubuntu base?
