@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'm not aware of a "backup job" included on 24.04-1.0. Could you please point me where the backup is?

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?Hotspot is managed by NetworkManager and lomiri-indicator-network. Both components log to Systemd's Journal; try
sudo journalctl --boot --identifier=lomiri-indicator-network-service.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?Backlight is managed by repowerd, which exposes a DBus API and is also in charge of auto brightness and idle dim/screen off.

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?App compatibilities have to be evaluated on case-by-case basis. Sometimes this is caused by an unintentional breakage on our part, but other times this is caused by applications using "unstable APIs". Unfortunately, app developers will have to get involve, as we simply don't have time to check every applications in the wild.
Sometimes simply rebuilding the application against 24.04-1.x would make app works again. However, I and Brian Douglas from OpenStore are still figuring out how best to publish applications with unstable API usage for 2 Ubuntu Touch releases simultaneously.

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!
Thank you for offering your help. Unfortunately MMS is a more complex area of Ubuntu Touch and require understanding multiple parts of Ubuntu Touch to be able to troubleshoot.
Luckily MMS has now been looked at and should be fixed in the next Beta.
- It's a nice feature

@peat_psuwit they get written to /userdata/backups.

Thanks for the update - this is amazing news for those of us who rely on it! Sincere thanks to those who pulled this off!

I can find the following error:
I had the following behaviour on multi-party call with volla 22 on 24.04.-1.0 Beta 1.
I set up a call using the dailer. Then to create a multi-party call I pressed the + sign during the ongoing call. I setup a second call using the phonebook. Finally I merged both calls.
Then the party I called second hang-up from their side.
Result:
The second call had been terminated and the phone call with the first party stayed active. Which is correct behaviour.
However the phones display reported that it is still connected to the secondly called phone (which had been already been disconnected) and not to the party called in the first place (which is the still connected party).
Expected behaviour:
The phones display reports that it is still connected to the phone called in the first place (which is the still connected party) and not to the phone I called in the at the second place (which is the party no longer connected).Note: Just tested. This error has been already in focal 20.04-OTA-9.
Created separate Gitlab issue

Nice, I wasn't sure if this thread is even watched. The lack of 5G data on FP 4 really makes it unusable for me. I'm a developer though each project takes a lot of time to get familiar with so I didn't even bother. Though if you kindgly can point me to the relevant github PR which fixed that for FP5 to port into FP4 Halium tree I could try to look at it
-
@fair the FP4 does not seem to use the ofono binder plugin yet... Maybe thats the reason.
It also enables voLTE.

Thank you for the update. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know.

Bluetooth headset no longer works for me - even with old paired devices. Neither my already paired car radio nor my headphones want to connect to my Volla 22. The same applies to my Volla tablet.
On my Volla 22, Bluetooth headsets that I have on hand does work (although I have found some stability issues that we have to investigate). May I know the make and model of your headphones?
Also, just in case, do you have a Volla 22 with a replacement screen?

Under Cellular settings 5G is still missing. Nonetheless, it seems there's no internet data at all despite status showing good signal. The browser keeps saying no internet connection. I've tested LTE coverage with other phone, just to exclude the possibility that my operator turned off LTE completely.
I've created WiFi Hotspot but connection to it fails from any device I've tried.
On my FP4, mobile data does work. Hotspot, however, is confirmed to be broken (at least in password-protected case). Thank you for your report.

On Fairphone 5 GPS and Fingerprint doesn't work
GPS does work on my Fairphone 5 (note that the first position lock can take a long time; this is due to missing/incomplete A-GPS and is a known issue of Ubuntu Touch). Fingerprint, however, doesn't work indeed. Thank you for your report.
