Convergence
-
Hello Everybody,
Could somebody advice me what is the best set for convergence ? I would like to have connected TV, keyboard and mouse. I've got already HDMI slimport connector. Ubuntu screen is visible however touchpad which turns in mobilr screen does not work. Thanks in advance. -
@skafander Yeah, that's a known issue on the Nexus 5. It's a weird bug. There was a time it started to work then it stopped working again
Anyway, the suggested setup is to connect a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. That way you can use it almost like a desktop. The virtual touchpad isn't good enough for long use anyway.
-
@skafander May I ask on which channel are you on - stable, rc, or devel?
I tried the virtual touchpad again on my Nexus 5 and it works now. -
@kugiigi sure, thanks for engagement ! I used instant ubuntu installer so probably stable OTA-16.

-
@keneda exactly, from deb package
-
@skafander Sorry, I was wrong. It isn't fixed yet, at least in any of the channels.
Here's the related issue.
https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/301You can see my comment at the bottom about a possible fix. If you really want you can try the fix now.
-
@kugiigi indeed, i hope your pull request will be merged soon
-
@skafander It's not actually my PR though I was the one who discovered it fixed the virtual touchpad. The PR was intended to fix another issue
-
@kugiigi btw with bluetooth devices works smoothly and is really convinient, one more question if I may, HDMI should works also for audio or video only ?
-
@skafander sadly now it's just for video, but I remember seeing an old issue from canonical times where they were working to add audio support as well.. I am wondering now if i really understood that correctly or not.
-
Yeah, no audio routing at the moment. Someone needs to implement it but so far, external display use cases aren't really a priority.
