Got a Lenovo M10 TB-605/X....

@kugiigi Yes, I know your MR and it is already added to the port sine the beginning.

I have the impression that the devices.conf in /etc/ubuntu/ is not read right. And I also did not find a hint, where and how it gets read, to debug it...

The device is configured as "tablet" in android.conf file, which makes the desktop switch button to appear in the system-settings indicator.

@Luksus - Is the M10 TB-X605F and earlier version of the M10 HD? I am not finding the M10 TB-X605F available except on the used market.

Edit - I do see some of the X606F available on the used market. Is this sufficiently similar?

No, sadly not.
There is a port for it, but it is unmaintained. It also seems relatively hard to find the right combination of stock-image and vendor-image, to make it work with UT.

@luksus - Thanks for the reply. I will continue searching. The X605F is very difficult to locate at the moment. I located an application called Navit that I am looking into as well. I contacted the developers to inquire about hardware recommendations.

@mrt10001 Sorry but why should I install the devel or RC version ? I'm not a developer, just a simple user, so I think that stable is the best choice for me...
Could you explain this point ?

@bobnic
Maybe because stable is not mature.
So things could be already fixed in RC or dev that are not in stable.

But your concerns are right, and a normal user should stick to stable, or in that kind of situations, RC.

@bobnic Stable doesn't work when installing, basically you will be stuck at the Lenovo screen. I made this mistake on the first attempt at installing. I then chose RC on the next attempt and it worked. Whenever there is an update, I make sure the tablet has at least 80% charge and unplug the charger and install the update. So far that has worked. I avoid the developer channel on this device as I only have one and if it bricks, I would want it back up and running ASAP. (If I have two, I can run one on RC and the other on developer, likewise, I could try stable when that arrives).

@mrt10001 Not sure how this topic was coming up here... but regarding stable channel:
Until OTA-23 there was no stable channel available for the x605, but one could still select it in the installer.
Now, since OTA-23, there is also a stable channel build available for this device and it should install without issues, at least not more issues than usual for this device.

MrT10001 · 13 Aug 2022, 08:48

@luksus Ok, I didn't know that, RC is working fine at the moment for me.

As @Keneda said I would stick to stable whilst installing if possible, RC is OK, development can and has caused issues recently.

I have installed stable channel this week and I can confirm that everything went smoothly.
