Firstly thanks to the community, Ubuntu Touch on my Fairphone 4 on 24.04-1.1 RC1 is awesome!

I would like to ask regarding the future of Ubuntu Touch, is it planned to move away from a Ubuntu base and move to something like Debian for example? If not, what are the advantages of a Ubuntu base?

It would be nice if some shell programs were included again in ubuntu touch:

fdisk
rsync
encfs
mat2

It would also be nice if ext4 was possible as a file system for the micro SD card.

Has the error with the incorrect GPS metadata in photos now been fixed?

Thank you very much and best regards
Charly

Hello.
Is there any chance that rsync will return in a future OTA update for my favourite OS?
I did find a very old version via snap, but it's not great...
Thank you all for the continuous development and quality of UT!

My device started to flicker after installing the App Screen Clock, then I changed the UT to the daily channel and now I have a broken device. It doesn't boot anymore. This is kind of an annoying issue that should not occur.
I consider to flash UT on another device, but on devices page it states that "X This is an outdated Ubuntu Touch release" and the version is 20.04 OTA-10 since weeks. Is it safe to install UT now?
Thank you for a good answer!

The specific example I am talking about is the Lenovo Tab TB-X605F/L 3Gb/32Gb version. The upgrade notification appears, upgrade and it just boots to recovery after installation. Running it through the installer results in the same thing. (Yes I know this tablet is a problem child). Would it be possible to stop this and/or remove the upgrade path for Noble from the installer?

(Similar things mentioned with the OP Nord N100 and OP Nord N10 5G, installer is fine with them).

Is the installer now working with Apple based Silicon Macs (M1 - M5) as Apple have just released the M5 version?

https://open-store.io/app/myutforum.josele13

For reporting a bug for a specific app, you can look at what is linked under "Source Code" or "Get support for this app" at the app page in the OpenStore. It usually points you to a gitlab page, where you can report an issue to the developer.

But Lomiri is in the official Debian 13 package repos, so you should be able to install it with apt (but I have only tried it out on x86/amd64 machines jet).

Great work guys on bringing us noble release. This operating system just gets better and better. Just wish someone like Elon Musk would get on board in helping with funds to help Ubuntu touch?

I have a question about Wayland/Xmir apps (e.g uWolf, Signal-desktop, Snap apps) in the context of the upcoming Mir2.0

Will you consider implementing any of the following, to polish experience with Wayland apps:

  • Standard desktop notifications showing as UT notifications (with sound, vibration, status led, notification panel).
  • Easy Import/export files from content-hub by having a custom xdg-desktop-portal for content-hub.
  • Open url externally, by making an URLdispatcher app as default desktop browser.
  • Review and possibly adapt apparmor profiles to make sure they don't prevent confined Wayland/Xmir apps from accessing the hardware the way they normally do it (GPU ,microphone, camera, ,...), when they should be allowed to access it. (Eg: Signal-Destkop can access microphone when unconfined, but not when it has the confined + microphone profile.)

Would you need/accept some help to do that?
