Ubuntu Touch Q&A177 call for questions
-
First of, thank you so much for the development on Ubuntu Touch, it is becoming amazing!
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?

@UBportsNews we would love an app for the Ubports forum to be made on the open store so everybody using Ubuntu touch can have a better option to report bugs and users can interact better and faster. 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?

Hi, I repropose my unanswered question from Q&A 175.
I have a mac M1 on which I would like to install asahi linux with Lomiri..is it possible? if yes, on which distribution?
thank you very much -

someone like Elon Musk
Not 'exactly' like Elon Musk, though.

@Linuxlite76
Don't believe in any kindness from people like musk to open source.
But don't despair musk will bring you macrohard and GroKonPedia soon... -
@sap Probably hard to tell, because nobody tried it jet. 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).

@Linuxlite76 Maybe I do not understand the question, but there is already a ubports forum app in the OpenStore and it works quite good for me:
https://open-store.io/app/myutforum.josele13For 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.

The system pushes the Noble upgrade to devices running on Focal, but don't seem to work with Noble. 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?

Hello everyone!
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! -
Are there plans for a 20.04-OTA11 or have development efforts fully moved on to 24.04? I'm hoping for a volte fix on my FP4
