Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.1

Charly

Hello,

today I installed 24.04-1.1 rc2 but the micro SD card is still mounted read only.
This is a problem to me.

Many thanks & best regards

i'll try to find a micro sd card in the following days to check if it's just your phone or a general problem.

In the mean time, if you can ssh to your phone and have some debugging practice, you could try to use

journalctl --user -e -u ciborium

and/or

udisksctl

(a command line utility)

to check a bit on how things stand.
Since I have never tried to do any test at all with a working and a non-working sd card on UT I'll not be able to help much in understanding these logs / reports, it's just that I know they exists.

Ah, well, you did check the sd card on another device to see if it has not developed a fault at the same moment ? I know it's unlikely, but such things do happen.

I upgraded my FP5 without much problem (I'd assume that it's just a software 'feature' that after the upgrade is finished the button is stuck at 'upgrading' and it needs a press on it for a dialog to appear to reboot the phone ?), at first I noticed nothing, now I have noticed a more annoying problem but I'm not sure it's new with RC2, maybe I did not notice it with RC1, but I'm almost sure that I would have noticed it when I ran 24.04 daily: when I disable Wifi and enable it again, I see the big list of Wifi access point , I then exit settings by pushing it out in the UT task selector, when I get into the settings again and disable Wifi then exit settings like before, and then enter again in settings and enable Wifi, the switch does not turn green and the phone reboots by itself. The wifi is not enabled after the reboot but I can then enable it without reboot.

Not sure of the exact steps, maybe it takes one repeat or two, but the reboot is very reproducible.

@gpatel-fr I believe you are experiencing:-
https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/reference-device-ports/android11/fairphone-5/fairphone-fp5/-/issues/37
Which I occasionally have had on the current stable version anyway.
You can force it to happen if you play with the Network toggle buttons for a bit but in my general usage I find it's rare to trigger this bug.

I had one just now and it mounted without problem, I could write a file on it so basically I can't reproduce.
There was a problem reading the file back on the other device, this device recognized that there was a file with a non null size, however it could not display it as a photo - although before changing the sdcard back to the other device, I could still display it fine on the phone itself. Maybe I have not done it the right way, I would need more tests. But I could not reproduce the problem of the sdcard mounted read only.

This is possible, since one comment from 4 days ago says it was happening with Wifi. I never use airplane mode since I don't use planes however every time I go out with my FP5 I switch wifi off to save a bit of battery so I can assert that it is not a rare problem, I see it clearly more than half the time. But yes, the symptoms are the same.

Hello

I did a few tests today.

I tried another micro SD card and the read only problem did not exist.

So it must be a problem with the micro SD card.

A check of the file system (with pc) of the problematic 1 TB micro SD card showed problems.

After repairing the file system, ut mounted the card rw again.

With my x23 I had the situation a few times that the micro SD card was sometimes not available (maybe a contact problem). This probably led to the file system problem.

Thank you very much for the help in locating the error!!

Best regards
Charly

@peat_psuwit
used ubports-installer to install 24.04-1.1 RC2 with "Wipe Userdata" checked and during the last 24h, calls worked correctly.

Thanks.

Update 26 November 2025: The release of Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.1 and 20.04 OTA-11 has been delayed due to my personal situation (there has been flooding in my area). Now that the situation has improved, I'll now work on finalizing the release of both versions and get the update to the stable channels as soon as possible.

I'm glad to hear that you're safe. Please give priority to your health and safety, and those of your family, over a software update!
