Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.0 call for testing

PhAndersson

Bluetooth on the Quintus is still problematic as far as connecting to a laptop is concerned. The behaviour is still the same as the one described here: Noble bluetooth issues.

Could you give a link for known and for reporting issues on this RC please ?

This issue board shows issues known to affect Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.0:

https://gitlab.com/groups/ubports/development/-/boards/9687679

Although, we have to admit that not all issues are recorded here; we have been pretty lousy regarding to issue tracking. We hope to improve this in the future.

I have seen already another post about things being messed up in landscape and staying messed up when back to portrait - something I definitely don't see on my FP5, where the landscape mode is not perfect but when switching back to portrait all is well.

I think I see the difference now: your phone has no notch for the back camera. It's probably the root cause. The MR has been tested for a phone like the FP5, not like your phone.

The problem with notch avoidance being broken after rotations is a known issue and will be fixed in the next Beta/RC.

Non related to this: should a phone work in a car using Bluetooth? It see it connects as a headset, so I can talk/hear. But I does not present a phone or contacts to the car?

The Bluetooth integration with the phone/contacts system is indeed a known issue. We're still working on it, but there are a few moving parts related to this which makes implementing this a bit complicated.

X00TD works fine.

$ df -h /dev/mmcblk0p13  
Filesystem                     Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/disk/by-partlabel/system  3.9G  3.4G  524M  87% /

Thank you for your report. X00TD (Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1) will receive the next Beta/RC.

I can also confirm that the RTC issue is still present on the Quintus. Just created the following issue about it: [Bug] Volla Quintus: RTC problem: correct time/date not preserved across power cycles.

Not sure if already reported issue, but.

After taking the screenshot, the screenshot editor is shown, where I can edit or share the image. However, this window is higher (like z-index) than the volume-control popup, and I assume it’s the same for notifications too. So when I change the volume while I’m on this screenshot editor screen, I can’t see the current volume status.

Well, with so much to do and so few time and people, not everything can be perfect
I edited your first post to add link in bottom.

I update my sony Xperia X with ubuntu touch 24.04-2.
But I have a problem with the "bookmarks app". They no longer works.
What I see : a blue loading bar ,then a black screen (or white if i m not in dark mod).
I found it with blablacar, but after some tests, it seems that include all " bookmarks app"

I have also a display problem with morph web browser :
nothing is displayed online, but parameters are usable.
Others browsers works normaly (merezhyvo & ufirefox)

That particular problem is fixed by disabling the Timekeeper service, useless on non-Qualcomm devices. Kudos to @gpatel-fr for the suggestion.

Do anyone else have the problem with the "Boorkmark" apps problem? ( With apps based on webapp-container ). If confirmed it seems to me an important problem.

What about apps created manually with Webber?

Update 30 June 2026: we've decided to postpone the release of Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.0 by 1 more week due to a number of important fixes missing their deadline. The new release date is set to be 20 July 2026.

So, instead of a Release Candidate image, today we've published 24.04-2.0 Beta 2 which contains a number of improvements and fixes since the last Beta.

We hope to be able to have a Release Candidate image next week.

Notable changes

Following devices can now receive Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.0 Beta 2:
- Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1
- JingPad A1
- OnePlus Nord N10 5G
- OnePlus Nord N100
- Xiaomi Redmi 9 and 9 Prime
- Xiaomi Redmi Note 9
Additional devices receive notch position configurations, including all Volla devices and a few Xiaomi devices.
Fixed the problem where the top panel gets confused about whether it has to avoid notches or not when the screen is rotated using the floating rotate button.
Improved support for legacy (X11-based) applications significantly by backporting changes from Mir 2.
Widevine installer is now fully functional. If you're dependent on DRM-protected contents, Morph Browser could be used to watch such contents.
Morph Browser can now get access to location.
Screenshot editor no longer obscures notifications.

Notable known issues

While Widevine could be installed, some sites (e.g. Netflix) might impose further restrictions on what browser it supports.
Video recording and media playback in most applications (except browsers) might be broken due to some cache not clearing up. As a workaround, the following command could be run to remove such cache:

rm -v ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.*

Followed by a reboot. A fix is being developed. (lomiri-camera-app#221).

Morph Browser may show black screen after it's switched to background and back. Scrolling will allow webpage to display again. (qt6-webengine#2)
Some keyboard layouts are displayed incorrectly by overflowing to the left and right edges of the screen. (lomiri-keyboard#214)
Morph Browser may show black screen after it's switched to background and back. Scrolling will allow webpage to display again. (qt6-webengine#2)
Hardware video decoding in the updated Morph Browser is not working. Video playback still work, but will be done in software, increasing power usage (qt6-webengine#1).
Morph Browser's new tab page is not fully functional. In particular, it doesn't show bookmarked sites correctly (morph-browser#624)
Notch avoidance does not work yet on landscape mode.
We're still working on issue with mouse position on built-in screen affecting the trackpad on Volla Tablet's keyboard cover. As such, Volla Tablet will not receive 24.04-2.0 Beta at this time.
