Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.0 call for testing

lsitongia

@wally
If I do a reinstall of 2.x daily (on a phone that is in list 2.) using the installer in order to get the QT 6 Beta AND I do not select the option to wipe, will it preserve the current 1.x version of Morph?

Are there libraries that I can look for using a shell to verify getting the 2.0 Beta (or its daily equivalent)?

Thank you.

lsitongia

p.s. I ask this because when I reinstall without wiping, all the apps I've installed are still there.

@Moem Thanks, but I need a way of finding out the version without using Morph itself because its not showing any website at all. only empty screen underneath the searchbar.

I think that from your 24.04-1.3 version you still have Morph-QT6 installed as an app from the store. You need to zap it (maybe restart the phone after that)

@messayisto

did you uninstall the Morph QT6 app ?

messayisto

@gpatel-fr It was not installed...

Surprised to hear so few questions about this: Will the new morph support lomiri location service? The morph beta from the store does not seem to, but it did appear to support geoclue last time I tried.

lsitongia

No one has another way to check if QT6 is installed?

gpatel-fr

@lsitongia

not sure what you are searching for, if you are under 24.04-2.0 morph is using qt6.
Try

which morph-browser

should return /usr/bin/morph-browser

then

ldd /usr/bin/morph-browser  | grep -i libqt

should return a bunch of linkings to qt6 libraries.

Min Broeser is crashing after it started,

@messayisto
Side note: the latest version of Min browser should not crash anymore on 24.04-2.x. (But most probably the OSK will not work anymore, like on other XWayland apps).

I've updated my post:

For camera:
I forgot, that I was running an experimental build of the camera app , sorry ... with the regular one, everything is working.

Video playback:
is working again, though I am not sure what solved it. I can't imagine that it has something to do, with the camera app.
But while investigating, I accidentally deleted all of my .config and .local files , so that may also be the cause of fixing it.

Same goes for Morph... the strange behavior on opening links from other apps is gone.

min starts on 26.02 build 104. Log: minlog.txt

the repeated lines at the end were happening when I was tapping in the URL bar.

It starts but not OSK right?

I see on your logs and on the logs of @equareo that line:

qml: Application requested te be focused but no window for it. What should we do?

So I think your hypothesis might be right! Given that a patch was added in Maliit to "Verify an application has focus before granting it input", it seems possible that the XWayland windows are not detected correctly in Lomiri as giving the focus to the app and therefore block the virtual keyboard. This is only an hypothesis but seems very possible.

https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/packaging/maliit-framework/-/commit/6bd655621fea66af7b9bb3a477b9de072b4939db

It makes me think as well that on the left panel we still have the X icon instead of the app icon, which seems a bit strange to me as the window does now have the right icon under it, on the spread view. But it might be another sign that the XWayland apps might never really get the focus, from Lomiri standpoint.

messayisto

@pparent exactly, not crashing anymore, but no keyboard.

projectmoon

I think the keyboard thing is definitely something that needs to be fixed before July.

@klh I tried reporting it with my limited knowledge of the components involved, I may have used some wrong words to describe the problem and/or reported it in the wrong place. https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/packaging/qt6-base/-/work_items/2

immodules.cache hack

Here is an interesting test that can be done to see if the bug is specific to the use of immodules.cache or not. It is possible to start a QML app in XWayland mode.

Here is an example on how to do it with "Maps exporter", but it can be adapted with any QML app: You can enter those commands in abd or in the terminal

WARNING: this will run the app unconfined, only do that with an app that you fully trust, only for testing purposes, and run it preferably only on a testing device with no personal data rather than on your daily driver

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb
export DISPLAY=:0
export QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2 
export QT_IM_MODULE=maliit
cd /opt/click.ubuntu.com/mapsexporter.pparent/current/
qmlscene app/Main.qml

What I observe on 24.04-1.x is that the application starts in XWayland mode and the On-Screen-Keyboard do work, but sometimes it works only after refocusing on the window: by switching to another windows and going back, or by locking and unlocking the phone.(This points once again towards something working wierdly with the focus detection of XWayland windows)

It would be extremely interesting to know how this behaves on 24.04-2.x, if someone can test. Can we get the OSK with a QML app sarted in XWayland mode (with the above commands)?

Also I'm wondering if on existing XWayland apps ( like uWolf, or Min browser or Signal UT ) refocusing on the window ( by switching to another windows and going back, or by locking and unlocking the phone ) could possibly allow to have the OSK appear again in 24.04-2.x , in any way shape or form?

@messayisto @gpatel-fr @equareo @ida_ ?

I've tried leaving Signal UT open right after clicking the message box while locking and opening the screen again, this does not trigger the OSK. I have also tried switching between Signal UT and various apps like Morph, Cinny, Music Recognition, but no OSK unfortunately.

@pparent I tried your little experiment with Maps Exporter. The app launched in an x11 window, and the OSK was gone! This was a fresh install for me as I don't use Google Maps, but I verified that the OSK worked first when I launched it as a click the usual way by pressing the icon.

I really really hope we can find a solution to this that can be included in 2.0.
