Ubuntu Touch Q&A 131

Ubuntu Touch Q&A 131 is planned for this Saturday 6th Jan at 19:00 UTC so it's time for your questions.

Post questions below, but please remember that questions on porting to device **** or its status, and questions on bugs will not be answered.

@UBportsNews What are the next big changes for Ubuntu Touch and what are the current problems for the Ubports team?

[kimo]

@UBportsNews
Will there be more interest in applications? There is a significant shortage of applications, especially after moving to focal
What most attracts the average user is the availability of applications, especially alternatives, after moving from Android to UT. Please put this in the program.

Are you asking for a concerted effort of the OS developers team to port apps? Or are you talking about some kind of drive to attract more app developers to UT? And what kind of apps would you like to see?
In what way do you think you could help make this a reality? Remember this is an Open Source project, every individual can take ownership or share and gather a group of like minded people to implement their ideas for moving the project forward.

All the developers for this new year deserve to be thanked once again because without them there would be nothing. And I particularly thank all those who develop and take care of useful apps on a daily basis: for example, very recently, Daniel Frost has put his energy into the notes text editor 'Tedit' and a big thank you to him because UT needs office apps that are sorely lacking.

is there gonna be (cups) printer support, since lomiri-system-settings has support for it?
it would just need to add an cups package within system image and some way to print anything from images to pdf files

[Andrisk]

Would you consider making a workshop on topic "debugging system level components of Ubuntu touch". I think it would be really helpful to get started.

@UBportsNews Mobile Data still not consistent after calls -

What device are you experiencing this on?
If it is device specific, you should probably try to contact the porter.

will there be a fix and what is the actual problem?

I am pretty sure if the cause were known, the issues would be be resolved. Sometimes these issues can be difficult to reproduce and / or debug.

But also remember this part of the original announcement:

@arubislander Thank you! iirc its not device specific, Alfred and/ or Marius mentioned it in one of the last Q&As.... but I am not shure. But yes, I will ask in the device-section too.

Happy new year?

[messayisto]

@UBportsNews I am often confused about the time specifications for this. Imho 19 o clock utc is 20 o clock in mez, i.e. in europe.
But going on youtube to he live-stream shows one hour waiting - can somebody solve this for me?

[domubpkm]

@messayisto if it is in one hour, it should be at 20h UTC..
