@Giampy
I'm using dekko2 and teleports without described issue when on data from sim. Can you try to reinstall?

Giampy

@c4pp4 Now that you tell me this, it occurs to me that perhaps the problem lies with the telephone operator. I don't want to reinstall from scratch, I have too much stuff inside to move besides apps to reinstall!
Thanks for the help / suggestion

@Giampy
If you omit a couple of delta updates, there will be a bigger update (more than 400MB) and it could be the same as reinstall.

Giampy

@c4pp4 It's true, from what you said earlier I think it's a phone provider problem. It is little known and I chose it a long time ago when I used UT a little on N5 and I didn't even notice it ..... but now the things have changed so first I change provider and then let's see!

Thanks very much!!!

I'm a new Xperia X (F5122) user coming from Meizu MX4 though I haven't really migrated my data and sim yet
I've tested the arm64 build first and it seems great already. I'm jut wondering though what's still missing in this build and if it's already usable as a daily driver. Also, would it be possible to switch from armhf to arm64 without losing data? y guess is not because the apps are in the userdata parition and those are not cross compatible. Thanks!

c4pp4

@kugiigi You can switch from armhf to arm64 without losing data but as you mentioned you have to reinstall some apps to be compatible. I did it without problem via ubports-installer and then via openstore.

@c4pp4 so it is a bug! But I don't understand, it doesn't always happen. I'm in the devel channel and it doesn't happen with all the updates.

Hi @c4pp4, I just switched from armhf to arm64 using the installer. But now I have the problem that the openstore crashes when I try to launch it. Is there a way to reinstall the openstore from the command line?

Edit:
I found a way that worked:

sudo -H -u phablet pkcon install-local --allow-untrusted openstore.openstore-team_<VERSION>_arm64.click

And after that reinstalling those apps that crash with the openstore.

kugiigi

@hsce1 You can also go Settings >> Update >> Update Settings >> Reinstall All Apps. This won't reinstall all apps though so you might need to reinstall some from OpenStore.

hsce1

@kugiigi Oh, ok. Thank you!

c4pp4

@hsce1 Sorry about that. In my case the openstore launched.

hsce1

No problem. That was quickly fixed and no data was lost due to the switch

I am hitting similar bug to https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/issues/1052 and thus I'd like to do a manual install but I am unable to find the instructions. Installing from linux box so I have all the unix tools at hand and I can read code too.

wvi

Basically is there a list of the commands that the UB installer is running, TBH I don't want to spend time figuring it out from the async javascript code in the electron app.

c4pp4

@wvi The issue 1052 is about "No space left on device" and your issue 1343 is about "write failed: Read-only file system".

wvi

@c4pp4 Yes, I realized that later but what I am asking for now is if there is a way how to avoid using this graphical installer so I have clear logs and can find what is the issue and possibly find the solution.

@wvi there are some steps done with fastboot, but you won't be able to install the system image itself manually that way. You might have to build ubuntu-device-flash yourself to do without the UBports installer.

EDIT: Sources are here: https://github.com/ubports/goget-ubuntu-touch

wvi

This is my first attempt so sorry for dumb questions. Is there a way how to see the UB-installer logs without filing bug?

wvi

@fredldotme Thanks I'll try to do with the installer as it is more than just doing stuff with abd shell and copyting files around.
