@pparent Thanks for explaining that. I was presuming it would be easy-peasy to port the desktop apps to UT. Irony! Anyway I tried Chromium, typing issue nothing prints. Chrome is more versatile for video compatibility, or may be Firefox. I read the reviews of available email apps on Open store. Users sound like not too happy. Anyway I will try Dekko. Is there an alternative to Gimp?

@ezst036 said in How can I troubleshoot broken SMS?: the text side of my text messaging. as I understand it, if ofono is working and sms is configured, sms get in; mms have another, distinct configuration. Also, I have understood recently that UT has a lack in the media configuration that could explain that files are not played correctly (nothing related to MMS per se, just that MMS have sometimes very particular formats), and of course UT don't receive MMS behind Wifi. Quite a few wrinckles.

@developerbayman said in Ubuntu Touch on Redmi Note 9: eliminating this annoying step actually there was an effort to do that at least for one port (not Xiaomi) https://github.com/ubports/installer-configs/pull/299 I know because I actually argued that it could be dangerous. Devs judged that my fears were unjustified, however the PR is still stalled because 3 approvals are needed and one of the code owners has something else to do it seems. So things are advancing at a snail pace on the installer front. Unsure if it will be committed one day, unsure if this solution will be extended to other ports (you'll notice that there were considerations of antirollback protections that could be a blocker for other ports).

@DJac this is an extract of dmesg yes ? not looking good at first sight. However, should I understand from your previous post that you reinstalled Android (8) and that the camera app crashed ? If the cam don't work under Android, there is little hope that it will work under UT since UT use Android drivers.

@Moep Hello, Normally the installer should recommend you the version 24.04, but you have the choice during the installation process. Now the version 24.04 is really recommended over the version 20.04 that has some limitations, but make sure to select the stable branch of 24.04 and NOT the daily branch (that is daily builds, recommanded only for testers/devellopers). It has snap support, but also Ubuntu Touch is shipped with an application store dedicated to mobile apps: the Open Store ( https://open-store.io/ ) , where you should find the most usefull apps for your mobile life. As for encryption I'm not sure maybe other can reply, on that. Ps: Also note that FP3 is reported to offer an experience significatively worse than FP5 on Ubuntu touch: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/11449/how-does-your-experience-of-ut-compare-on-fp3-vs-fp5

@DJac How about asking this question as a Github issue ? Remember that the author has no obligation to support old versions of Ubuntu Touch, but could have stored somewhere on a web site the old clicks that were still compatible with 20.04. You could then install the last one manually.

Alpha 4! https://git.agnos.is/projectmoon/indra/releases Next alpha release that focuses on finalization of MVP functionality ahead of OpenStore release. This release also contains the changes in the unreleased alpha 3. A database wipe is required for this release! Delete the database by doing rm ~/.local/share/indra.projectmoon/indra.db on your phone, or by deleting indra.db using the file manager. Changelog Support connecting to radios via network/wi-fi. Ensure contact info is on radio when sending direct messages. Fix channels not showing up if they don't have a name. Node list is now one large list off online + offline. Actually reliable message queueing system. Adhere to firmware-imposed text message rate limits. Security indicators on channel/DM list. Sortable node list. Move more Meshtastic-specific stuff out of app domain. Show and enforce character limits on sending text messages.

@rocket2nfinity uNav worked great last trip. I just clicked on my Home location and GPS kicked in very quickly. I'll need to check your method as well. I was out and hadn't researched, so just tapped things. Anyway, PodCat worked just fine for playing Good Hang by Amy Poehler while uNav gave me directions home. And dekko did great for email notifications. I decided to forward my primary mobile number to my Ubuntu Touch phone while running errands today. Forwarded calls, powered up my phone. Must have hit something while transporting the phone before it was fully booted, as I got stuck in a boot loop. I put it away while I went about my errands. Researched when I got home, and all it took was hitting power and sound up at the same time. Oh well. Phone is u and working. I can forward my calls. I don't see an option to forward SMS messages. I'll research that a little more, as I'd rather not swap sims based on what physical phone I want to use as primary.

@Averiz I didn't test extensively. I clicked on sync clipboard on my UT device. I tried copy pasting on both my phone and desktop but my phone kept on pasting blanks. Even the texts I copied internally won't work. After a while, the text I copied on the desktop got pasted on my phone but copy pasting internally was still broken. I don't think there's a way to disable it in the app so I disabled clipboard syncing on my desktop and the clipboad worked normally again.

@marco said in Settings app not loading / crashing: here is the output: huh, there is no missing library here, nor any reference to the mysterious libpq_custom. Now I think only of it, but running /usr/bin/lomiri-system-settings in the terminal displays all the console error messages. There are quite a few for me even if the app works, but there could be more interesting things in the output on your phone. @marco said in Settings app not loading / crashing: way of knowing how much is left. try to run this in the terminal (or via ssh): gsettings set org.ayatana.indicator.power show-percentage true

@PhAndersson said in Trying to revive 'ubtd' (Bluetooth file transfer): lrwxrwxrwx 1 phablet phablet 34 Jan 15 10:50 dbus-org.bluez.obex.service - I have it too; it's a different thing, it's for the dbus part I think. @PhAndersson said in Trying to revive 'ubtd' (Bluetooth file transfer): my app is now able to start obexd by itself if not running already, It may be possible to activate on demand, but I have no idea how.

Okay. thanks you.

@gpatel-fr Right, thanks!

@Keneda The site won't allow me to create an account to log in, wether that's by design or a bug, I don't know. The forums are the main part for me.

Hello again, Dear UT Friends - I'm redoing the Ubuntu installation at Redmi Note 9 Pro Max in the following way: 59). I started unlocking the BL based on this HowTo: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/9957/installation-guide-redmi-note-9s - Thank you, Dear @stanwood 60). I inserted a SIM card with internet into the phone and I turned on it. 61). I turned off the Wi-Fi: Settings > Wi-Fi > Off 62). I go to the MIUI Version: Settings > About phone > MIUI Global 14.0.2 Stable - the one below. 63). Tap 7 times on "MIUI version ; MIUI Global 14.0.2 Stable 14.0.2.0(SJXINXM) > You are now a Developer! 64). I enabled OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging: Settings > Additional settings > Development options > OEM unlocking > Off > On > Enable unlocking > ... > USB debugging > Off > On > I'm aware... > OK (4) 65). I'm stuck on the step "Bind your Xiaomi account to your phone. (If not you have to create one) Tap "Mi Unlock status" » Agree » "Add account and device". Make sure your device can connect to the internet using mobile data." 66). I did Settings > Mi Account > ... and I can see... > adarsh... > ... now I suppose that I need to ask the Seller to give me the password or to somehow to logout from the account?

@Moem and four stickers Thanks

said in What's the return of systemd-detect-virt on your device ?: Edit: created this gitlab issue Well, I researched it a bit previous Sunday and the plot thickens. Looking deeper into phones is staring into the abyss . More in the gitlab issue.

@CyBerT said in Onepluse6T change adduser and change password not work, passwd: Authentication token manipulation error: did have to change the ownership of the home folder, Glad you got it solved. But the above is never necessary. Maybe start another thread describing the issue you were facing that made you think you needed to solve it in this way. It might be possible to solve Inna different way, that will not break the system.
