        I recently purchased a hub/dock in order to use my PinePhone as a low-powered portable computer.

        When I plug the PinePhone, running Ubuntu Touch 20.04 into the dock the user interface crashes. Lomiri appears to try to re-launch, then crashes again, and this crash/launch cycle loops until the hub or monitor is unplugged.

        I am briefly getting visible output on the monitor, so the connection is good, Lomiri just doesn't seem to be stable when an external monitor is present.

        Is there any workaround for this? My keyboard and monitor work through the dock if no monitor is attached, it's just the desktop session crashes when an external monitor is present.

        For those interested, I got Manjaro Plasma working with the dock and external monitor. It runs slowly and crashes often on the PinePhone as Plasma seems too heavy for the device, but it works with the dock. Ideally though, I'd like to get UT running with the dock configuration as the performance of the OS is much better.
