      @arubislander Installed 24.04 on a clean wiped OP5 and it works as it should at this stage. So not 100%proof but seems to confirm just switching to 24.04 on a none wiped device caused problems at this stage.
      Will try a pixel 3a for a straight move today and let you know.

        Not did yet with 24.04 but it is exact. It has always been said that it is better to do a clean install if you change the "vintage" of Ubuntu. The problems are largely reduced.

          @domubpkm Yes that is what is advised. It would be good however if it was possible to move without having to backup all your info and wipe the device to install an OS distro upgrade so was just giving it a go which must put some people off the move. Also if we want more people to use UT in the future then we need to find some way round the issue.
          Good to find out it is not possible and advice remains wipe the lot and start over. Tried the 3a and same result as the FP4 nothing starts.

            @Lakotaubp ... that's why I waited for focal OTA-3 before moving from xenial to focal on my daily Volla at the time, wanting to do a clean, stable installation, and with the indispensable hotspot for me. What about the hotspot with 24.04 currently? Did you tried ?

              @domubpkm Just updated and it appears to work yes.
              Edit: Still no on screen keyboard yet.

                  That would not be a problem for average users to reinstall if it was possible to save user data easily, using the installer for instance.

                    @domubpkm There is no screen keyboard available when using Morph or weather app for instance.

                      @Lakotaubp Here's the bugreport. The missing OSK and the lack of adb is keeping me away from playing around with the current state.

                        Hi @domubpkm
                        This post is more intended for developers to help them test things out and tackle the remaining issues.
                        Please refrain from asking about daily driving it. The goal is to gather contributions not slow devs progresses with requests.

                          I have to step back and say:

                          wow i can not believe this has come this far @mariogrip
                          Congratulations
                          It seems a long time since this first started..Well done.

                          Second. These updates are so helpful. Stops the questions but still yet leads them.

                          Third. What do you need from US...the community first?

                          I got my Nexus 4 then 5 then FP2 then one plus cooking on #UBUNTU via @ubports and have run it on Op3T Op6t OP5T Pinephone/Pro Pine Tab and Pinebook Pro and my favourite OnePlus One.

                            @Lakotaubp Today I installed 24.04 on my Pixel 3a. I unticked both check-boxes and went for it (so no wipe, and no install via boot-loader). So far a great experience. Most apps work (only SturmReader doesn't, so far) and the OSK shows up everywhere it is expected to, except in Morph.

                            So I would say it is possible to upgrade in place.

                            EDIT: I also installed it on my JingPad following the same procedure. With the same positive results.

                                  @uxes OSK still seems not to work (e.g. morph and messages).
                                  @mariogrip Is it intended to install updates only when connected to the power supply? Before Noble it was always possible to install OTA's without beeing connected to AC. Maybe there can be a hint that says it's safer being connected to AC, but let's you install the update even without being connected.

                                    @kristatos That the fix was merged does not necessarily mean it has already made it into the latest build. Best to wait for a few releases, or an official announcement before reporting it as still not working.

                                      @arubislander The merge was done some hours before the actual build, so I thought, it's already included. Let's see what the next days will bring 😉

                                          @Lakotaubp ADB works on my Pixel 3a too, You just have to make sure Developer Mode is toggled on. You might need to toggle it off then on again to get it to show up (no need to reboot in between).
