tbh without explanation I consider this trolling.

Privacy problem due to journalctl?
I found that the logs of Morph Browser and also of Sapot Browser show the websites I have been on. This way the Logviewer app will show my browser history even if I cleared it in Morph and Sapot respectively.
Apparently the Logviewer app retrieves the logs from journalctl. So there seems to be no way to prevent this persistent record (as opposed to 16.04 where the logs were deleted when the logged app was closed).
Do I miss something or is this a privacy issue?

RE: How to connect Lenovo Tab to Samsung TV screen wireless
@arubislander Thank you!
I have to admit it's pretty silly to write that down and then make it unnecessarily difficult to understand.
I have set my device to English (US) and give this version:
(...)
On the Tablet
- turn on WLAN (BT not needed)
- go to System Settings/Brightness & Display
-- turn on External display
-- go to Wireless display
-- Samsung TV set should show -> tap it
-> UT appears on the TV screen in desktop mode
-> pressing "info" on TV remote control the TV says "Screen Mirroring"
-> Tablet display changes to kind of a touchpad with two buttons for left click and right click
-> Also tablet display shows a button for an onscreen keyboard which works when needed (e.g. Teleports)In order to return to TV go to System Settings/Brightness & Display and turn off External display.
(...)@arubislander I appreciate your approach.

RE: Privacy problem due to journalctl?
@Bolly said in Privacy problem due to journalctl?:
Could this be a good place? https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/morph-browser/-/issues
I put it there even though it seems to be a general problem of systemd/journald.
Thanks for your replies, guys.

Add Lenovo X605 to the UBports installer
Hello everybody,
will the above tablet be added to the installer soon to make it take part of OTA updates? As far as I can see it is the only somewhat up-to-date tablet supported by UT (and I have one ).Thanks and regards!

RE: adb, mtp access
Most convenient for me: Enable ssh on the phone, then from a linux machine connect to the phone via Nautilus/Nemo (File/Connect to Server). On Nautilus/Nemo: View/Extra Pane -> copy files via Drag an Drop.

RE: How easy is it to install Android 9 in preparation for Ubuntu Touch?
Bought a used one that came with Android8. Had to wait a few hours and it updated to A9 automatically.
Bought another one recently that came with A9.
Two important things:
-
Do not buy the 2 GB/16 GB device! It will not be able to update new OTAs because it is impossible to boot to recovery.
-
When installing by ubports-installer and your device is not recognized so you have to select it manually: You will as well have to change the channel from "stable" to "rc" (or "devel"). Else you end up with an error because the device doesn't update on "stable" (see https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/x605/ "Release Channels"). Took me some time to get that

RE: How can I change scaling on 20.04. (focal) without UT Tweak Tool and without reboot?
Not really a solution:
I found that the image to flash to the system partition (i.e. "ubuntu.img") is a usual ext4-partition as opposed to the former "system.img" which is an Android sparse image.
So I mounted it, made it writeable, changed "GridUnit" in
/etc/deviceinfo/devices/halium.yaml
, saved it and flashed it via fastboot. (I don't know how to do it if you're unlucky to run a windows machine).After rebooting*) the scaling was altered as intended.
So this is a way to change settings until the Tweak Tool for Lomiri arrives.
*)Fortunately the Lenovo tablet took only a few efforts to make it

RE: X306F - Waydroid failed to start Clipboard manager service
I will mark this as "solved" though the "problem" wasn't a problem and didn't need to be solved. Sorry for the fuss.

RE: X306F - Waydroid failed to start Clipboard manager service
@Luksus
Ah I see - the error occurs on every device. I wasn't aware of that. Thanks! -
X306F - Waydroid failed to start Clipboard manager service
After installing UT using the ubports-installer Waydroid won't start up. It's stuck in the splash screen (blue circle rotating).
Logs give the above message.
It was the same problem before when I installed manually.
https://docs.waydro.id/debugging/troubleshooting says "Install pyclip". But pyclip is not provided bei UT (according to
apt search pyclip
).I'm wondering if the problem is actually Waydroid related because I haven't encountered this on any of my devices so far.
Or is there some kind of x306f/Waydroid incompatibility?
Any ideas anyone?
TIA

RE: X306F - fastboot problems
@MrT10001
Great! Thank you so much!I didn't get that README.md says "Reboot to fastbootd".
So when the device didn't boot up immediately after fastboot reboot fastboot (like it does after fastboot reboot bootloader)
I became impatient and pressed <Volume-down>+<Power> to end up in fastboot mode again.Now the device is up.
Thanks again!
And thanks to @rubencarneiro! -
RE: X306F - fastboot problems
Thanks, but same result.
You assumed right about the site I got fastboot v30.0.0 from.
But I didn't get a .zip but a single binary.
I copied it to the folder I stored boot.img, recovery.img, vbmeta.img and ubuntu.img in and used
./fastboot...
.Didn't work out.

RE: X306F - fastboot problems
@MrT10001 Thanks for yor reply.
@MrT10001 said in X306F - fastboot problems:
@muskist You need fastboot version found in platform-tools_r30.0.0-windows. Download from here.
I don't use windows and I don't have it around.
Follow the Readme instructions:
Well, I did :))
Everything went fine up to the commands I have mentioned above.And I did it again with fastboot v30.0.0 - same result.
Maybe the problem is this:
When I log in with
$ adb shell
and then do
# ls -la /dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name
I get a lot of partitions likelrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2024-02-15 14:27 boot -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p31 ... lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2024-02-15 14:27 recovery -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 ... lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2024-02-15 14:27 userdata -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p40 ...
I'm missing a partition called "system" - shouldn't there be one?
Or maybe there is one somewhere hidden because
$ fastboot resize-logical-partition system 3978565472
does not cause an error.I'm confused (not unusual).

X306F - fastboot problems
Hi all,
had to purchase a X306F because I shattered the display of my X605
The X306F came with Android 11. Therefore I skipped installing Android 11.When trying to install UT everything works out until I'm encountering two problems:
fastboot delete-logical-partition product doesn't work:
$ fastboot delete-logical-partition product Deleting 'product' FAILED (remote: 'unknown command') fastboot: error: Command failed
fastboot flash system ubuntu.img doesn't work either:
$ fastboot flash system ubuntu.img Sending sparse 'system' 1/21 (131068 KB) OKAY [ 3.341s] Writing 'system' FAILED (remote: 'This partition doesn't exist') fastboot: error: Command failed
fastboot flash boot boot.img did work.
I'm running fastboot version 34.0.5-10900879.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
TIA
