UWolf stopped working.

UT 24.04 issue, but an uWolf issue. The author of uWolk is already looking into it.

@peat_psuwit maybe it should be mentioned somewhere, that there is a backup-job running, the first time, when "migrating" into 24.04.

It's a nice feature
It may slow down the UI on older devices (e.g. FP3, not sure how it feels on more performant devices) while running.
When switching between 20.04 and 24.04 back and forth (for testing), you may run into storage-issues, because every first time 24.04 is booted, it creates a new backup.

I installed 24.04 on a Volla Phone 22 which had a clean install of 20.04. The installation of 24.04 went smoothly.

I tried to install Waydroid with Gapps, and you get into the Waydroid session, it starts complaining that it is not certified for Google services. This hasn't happened to me with any of the Waydroid with Gaps installations I tried in 20.04. It looks like a Waydroid issue though, not sure if it is related to the fact that Waydorid is now running in 24.04.

Should Wayland apps be working? They're not on my OnePlus5t.

@padraic
It works fine on my xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro.
Both from the backup from Focal and with new clean install.

Switched to 24.04 the day it was released.
FP4 here with UT installed on it within 30minutes after unboxing the phone.
I's actually really nice and things started working better from 20.04.
Some still don't, like the notes app but heh... there is nano and vi at hand.

There are two things that I'd like to debug and I'd apreciate guidance as I'm a long time *nix enthusiast but this halium and lomiri stuff is very new to me.

WiFi hotspot: cannot connect anymore. Looks like UT does not run hostapd and I don't know where to look for logs and strace the process.
So.. where logs? nm by any chance?

And a second nag, the backlight is dimmed to zero at random times. Fades back to previous value by tapping the touchscreen. /sys/class/backlight/brightness is 0 when it happens.
What process manages the backlight? And is there any other means of interfacing the backlight control other than sysfs interface?

And, maybe a bit off topic, I'm searching like a blind dog in the lomiri-camera-app code for the camera switching parts and I just can't see where is that function. You know... rear/front switch. A file name and a line number would be awesome.

Yeah, hotspot doesn't work, but for me the most important thing is to have 5G data finally working, without it I can't make it my daily phone

kaelte

Quite a few apps do not work under 24.04 (r542).
I understand that we should be a bit patient as it is still in β state.
So I am not sure whether to open an issue and where.

2 examples

Document Viewer shows black screen instead of PDF
OSM Scout Server hangs on initialisation (last commit from 2024-10-06 !)

What do you advice?
How can I help?

The advice for individual apps is to file and issue in their individual issue trackers , here should be a link to that in the Open Store entry for that app.

Hey everyone,
FP5 here, been on 24.04.x for a couple of weeks here and its been fairly smooth.

What can I do to help with MMS? I am not a coder, but I do have a fair amount of experience troubleshooting PC hardware and software professionally.

MMS is one of those essential things that will make using this as my daily a whole lot more comfortable.

Thanks for all your hard work!
