ubuntu touch on a lenovo yoga 3 pro

[hummlbach]

Hi everybody,

Marius mentioned the desktop version during the community update 20.
I would like to install it on my laptop (with a freshly installed xenial on it, as a starting point), but didn't find anything on the docs or elsewhere.
I added a ubports.list to /etc/apt/sources.list.d and upgraded:

sudo echo "deb http://repo.ubports.com/ xenial main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubports.list
wget -O - http://repo.ubports.com/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Can someone tell me, what else must be done?

Ah, I found:

Thanks a lot!

@hummlbach looking forward to hearing about your experience

Here are my first impressions and observations.
The following was working out of the box:

• All the special keys on the hardware keyboard
• Hardware keyboard is disabled when flipped on the back of the screen (done in hardware(?), but not the touchpad)
• touch, edge gestures
• pretty much all the manual settings

What is not yet working and what I want to fix/implement:

• Onscreen keyboard (the only thing in this list I actually expected to work, ubuntu-keyboard was missing, but after installing it, it still does not show up, not even when touching on the keyboard icon in the terminal app - any ideas?)
• Automatic screen rotation
• Automatic adaption of the brightness
• Automatic toggling of desktop mode depending on the flip state of the hardware keyboard
• browser (perhaps I was expecting that to work too ;))
• since the native screen resolution is 3200x1800, everything is displayed way too small

The first thing i wanted to fix, was the heigh dpi resolution problem. I found the solution for the unity8/mir stuff by putting 'export GRID_UNIT_PX=24' in ~/.profile and for x11 apps I added the option -dpi 42 in /usr/bin/libertine-xmir. But while the first is working as expected, the latter seems to have no effect. (tested with chromium among others) Is this a known bug? (Since I'm tried to open libreoffice, the x11 apps do not work anymore at all... reboot didn't fix it.)

@hummlbach try this: echo "Xft.dpi:220" > ~/.local/share/libertine-container/user-data/vivid/.Xdefaults

I don't know what I've done to spoil it, but I assume it was an apt-get upgrade approximately one month ago...
Since then I'm not able to start X11-apps anymore... To figure out what is happening, I've started XMir manually and launched chromium from the console as follows:

XMir is crashing as soon as I'm trying to launch an X-application (so the last line appeared, when I've did the following):

$ export DISPLAY=:1
$ libertine-launch /usr/bin/chromium-browser

Is this a known issue? Anyone ran into it already?

I've gotten into screwed-up states with apt-get upgrade. I'd suggest you flash again and start over
