    @hlbkv UT system is based on QT, whose graphic support on Linux is based on gstreamer libraries. Unfortunately by itself while wide, gstreamer support for advanced formats is not limitless. You can find mkv sample files here On Ubuntu 24.04 all files can be played by ffplay, even the invalid ones test4 and test7, while the standard gstreamer player (gst-play-1.0) can play 4 of them (2,3,5,7) if ffmpeg support (ffmpeg itself and the link library gstreamer1.0-libav) are not installed, and can play test1 and test6 if this support is enabled. Ubuntu Touch can play 4 of these sample files (the same as desktop Ubuntu can play if ffmpeg support is not enabled) gst-discoverer-1.0 test1.mkv (...) Properties: Duration: 0:01:27.336000000 Seekable: yes Live: no container #0: Matroska video #1: Microsoft MPEG-4 4.2 this 'Microsoft MPEG-4 4.2' is probably the same thing as your '10 bit support'. You can install mpv with snap, it can probably play your mkv files. Note that hardware support is not involved except when it comes to performance of course.

    @Kadafi err, @arubislander asked you to download, while you clicked on 'install'. That's not the same thing and clicking to download allows precisely to test if the mere act of downloading is blocked or if the downloading works fine but UT crashes while installing. Once the file is downloaded (a file with extension of '.click') it's possible to install it by navigating to the folder and selecting it. UT asks you then to open with the store. This separates the 2 operations that the standard store installer bundles into one (for convenience, but it makes debugging more difficult).
  • Where are the mannuals for the UT usage?

    @Kadafi said: @Moem thanks but i do not use telegram. That is why I said: If you don't use Telegram you can read it in a browser. Have you tried clicking or tapping on the link? You'll be invited to view the channel in Telegram, but there will also be a button that says 'preview channel'. [image: 1775322561011-img-2026-04-04-19-09-19.png] @Moem swipe up in the "calls" app does nothing. Keeps showing the number buttons to dial a number. Do you see the little grey button with an arrow, just under the green button that you use to make a call? Drag that little grey button upwards. That should do it. You'll see such buttons in more apps on UT. If you see one it's worth checking out what it does.

    With the Big Tech corporate surveillance state growing and growing, options such as UBPorts Ubuntu Touch are an absolute lifeline for freedom loving individuals all over the world. Big Tech agendas’ thrives because of the vast amount of profit they earn and are able pour back into their future plans while the hero developers from UBPorts and those amazing volunteer developers (such as Pierre Parent! And all the apps he has help bring into the OpenStore!) do so from the goodness in their hearts but of more simpler financial means. It seems like such an unfair fight and uphill battle for immense stakes (freedom and right to privacy). As a simple individual of modest means, who wants to help and contribute to freedom enabling solutions such as UBPorts’ Ubuntu Touch and the volunteer developers, what would you recommend as the best ways to donate personal donations and time to help the cause? To help the amazing hero developers fighting the good fight. We need them. We won’t maintain personal freedom and privacy without them. God bless you all as your efforts are so greatly appreciated, admired and respected! Godspeed.

    @brenno.almeida Nice! Your app could be very useful especially to receive notifications in background with lower battery costs. Hope the whatsmeow library can remain reliable in the long run! Maybe you would like to post some screenshots of your app?

    I'm wondering about something, as this problem is an IP loss problem, I think it should be noted that by defualt NetworkManager uses it's internal dhcp handler. But it is also possible to configure it to use dhclient. And I wonder if the later would not be more reliable. So I think I will test to change the configuration of my NetworkManager to use dhclient, and see if it has any impact on this bug.

    @Moem Yes, its light and very thin! But I remember now why I have'nt used it for a long time. The main camera is broken. Found a sparepart for 15$. So a bit of surgery is required. Another thing that is much easier on older hw.. According to the "Features & usability" chart, there are a few issues. But everything seems to work fine for me, charging, gps, microphone even the notification led. thumbs up

    @oldbutndy Glad its helpful to someone. To quote Murina directly: "Regarding the re-flash service, it is currently only available in the EU. In the US, it is only offered for Fairphone 6 devices purchased from Murena. I understand that this device is a Fairphone 5 model, and Murena has never sold the Fairphone 5 in the US. If the device can be shipped to the original purchaser, or if you are located in the EU, I may be able to arrange the re-flash service for a fee of €99. All shipping costs would need to be covered by the customer. The 99 Euro fee will still apply even if the reflash does not restores the device's state to its original one." So essentially, if you own a Fairphone 5 in the US, or didnt buy it directly from them, they are not helping you. In addition if they do help you, they are charging more than Fairphone themselves for the exact same service.
