I'm sorry about my "snarky posts". It was never my intention to give a bad impression about the work of developers and the OS in general! Sorry! I have great respect about the work for developers! And I like the OS very much!

As a beginner in UT it's sometimes a little bit frustrating to get success in all areas of the OS.

Best regards!

Hi everyone!

My name is Florian and I´m from the north-west of germany ("Ostfriesland")... I`m an interested user in all kind of open source, and I like free-thinking in general...

Two or three years before I owned a E5 and a M10FHD. Then I stopped using UT, but now I´m back on it... But now with a Nexus 5 and a M10HD. My old devices are no more mine...

I like UT very much, but I need some support from community...

Best regards!

Hi,
i bought an new m10hd tablet (android), just to try out UT on tablet... I installed first old UT-image with flash-tool and then ota-10 (cooler) with installer. It's all fine - BUT: After boot or reboot there's is no wifi connection - I have to type the key again... It's a "no-go"!

It's obviously an old problem... But I don't find any solution... Is there meanwhile any solution?

Thank you very much!

Best regards!

Only the step-by-step guide from Alex works for me. There are no apps like libreoffice, is it right?

I'm using Teleport now - it works fine!!!

So, I wrote the word "solved" in the title... I didn't found any other options...

Thank you very much!

Well, I made the same steps like a few years before on E5. Back then it was successful, I need to type that amr-adition, got the information from unbuntu-forums... I don't know exactly, but it runs!

But now there is no success on Nexus 5... I flashed my phone again - no problem...

BUT: The sound quality from mp3-files is not very good. And I think, the fluendo decoder is the reason. I deleted it also from my desktop ubuntu machine (18.04) - and sound quality is much better!

So, if there is any idea to delete the fluendo-decoder and only run the ugly-plugins, so tell me please. And sorry, I'm only a normal user, I'm not very firm in Linux, but I'm very interested in it!

Thank you very much!

@Lakotaubp I looked to that and followed the instructions. Above are the results...

I would like to delete the default libertine container. I tried via terminal, then "Libertine.py:125: ERROR: _delete_rootfs(): [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'dev'" appears. I tried this also via adb shell on pc - the same... Via swipe right in system settings (Libertine) and tap on red trash symbol nothing happens. No spinning wheel...

I'm on bq m10 hd xenial 16.04 stable.

Thanks!

Yes, Abiword runs better than libreoffice. But there are also limitations, e.g. creating a bulleted list or a numeration list... Or the apply-button is not working with mouse... I mean, this are "basics" for serious office work... It's a little bit pity...

Would be great if libreoffice would run as it should...

Hi,

well, now "libreoffice" runs on my m10 hd tablet, but I think, it's good for nothing... Toolbar is not to control with mouse... I can type words, that's all (saving documents isn't possible)... I remember, that is was a little better under 15.04 (old "canonical-version" of UT), but I don't know exactly.

Now I think generally about using UT on M10 as "office-workstation", and I hope for your experience in this questions:

1. Is libreoffice useful and runs it fine? If yes, what are the best or the right "settings" to run fine?
2. If libreoffice is obsolete, which are the alternatives? I know uWriter a little bit, but is it able to "replace" libreoffice (if it would work...)? Which apps are you using to do such office things?
3. What is missing in UT to be a "complete office workstation" (if there is anything...)?

Thank you for sharing your experience!

Problem solved:

I deleted and installed default container again. I remember, that by installing it first, I interrupted installing process anyway, because I thought, it needs too much time... But after reboot device, container appears in list, so I thought, it's all right - but it wasn't, container wasn't installed right, but no notice appears...

Correct installing container needs about 10 - 15 minutes. You have to wait till spinning wheel disappears.

Thank you for help! It was my own mistake, but it is hard to detect it for a "normal" user...

In this case I'm happy now!

Edit: Libreoffice is not really usable, isn't it? Connect with keyboard and mouse it is e.g. not possible to save a document... Toolbar works not really... Or have I to do same special settings?

I am on stable. Checked the desktop scope app: There are no apps...

My container is named "Ubuntu 'Xenial Xerus'" - it is the default container, I chosed no special name or a password... And then I do the same as above: I got the blue spinning circle for a couple of mins - then: Nothing... "No packages are installed".

No success with different "typings" ....

Any other idea?
