Hi @The_Cougar_Kid

I think you can fix your issue with the comment from Wally.
Also this post is very old and not intended to help people with issues.
So I'll lock this thread ; feel free to open a new one and refer to your initial question if Wally's answer didn't work.

I'm sorry @readyblue

But it sounds to be an issue related to your specific provider.
People in your area might help on that, maybe you can join a local group on Telegram and see if others have the same issue and if they found a workaround.

Hi @antidorsessions

If I'm not mistaken printing is work in progress, so that could land in Ubuntu Touch in a not so distant future.
For A-GPS, that is a know issue as well as the pen which is pretty rare, hence lack of support at the moment.
For the password manager, maybe there are alternatives working on Ubuntu Touch, but yes we lack some support for the popular ones...

@readyblue

That's weird.
But if this is an android app made for your provider then I guess you can try with Waydroid.

I don't understand what this "manual switch" is about that would be different from the roaming switch we have in the settings.

Hi @readyblue

In the drop down menu, you can select "Cellular settings..."
The second swith is "Data Roaming"

Is it what you were looking for?
After crossing a border I noticed recently that I need to reboot the phone because switching to flight mode and back is not working for me.

@hlbkv
MKV is just a container, not a codec (MP4 as well).
Video format are complex and it's really difficult to debug if the parameters are uncertain.
Because sometimes you'll have proper video codecs, but not the audio ones, etc.

Hi @hlbkv

This is getting a bit off topic, but let me explain.
Studies show that blue light has an effect yes.

But another study I found (and lost) tend to disprove any positive effect of the so called redshift apps such as implemented in other OSes. Such software solution were said to simply not work as imagined and that the amount of blue light emitted is still comparable.
A physicist friend of mind agrees and told me it was the way LED are manufactured that is the reason...

What remains is what Arubislander stated.
No comparison with another OS is an admissible argument here ; we don't care about what others do, we do our own thing.
And to go back on topic, without willing people with skills, motivation and time, nothing will change despite many best wishes.

Hi @Mario.CH

Sorry we didn't take your question during the live show.
We didn't think it was the right place.

But you raise a valid point, I actually share the same concern and raised a similar topic (before reading your question) to the board of trustees.

I hope we can make things better on this front. But it's a complex topic and it takes time to find the right answer.

Hi @lduboeuf
Thanks for your work.
Do you need help? If I can be of any help, please PM me.
I rely heavily on my calendar on the phone to sync well with my Nextcloud account.

@ancientsounds said in UT on F(x)tec Pro1-X:

I haven't tried casting to an external monitor.

From I was told, the change in hardware impacted this feature.
So no display port over USB type C...

Also, what I know is that it doesn't work.

Hello everyone,

This year, due to unfortunate events, UBports will not attend FOSDEM in any official capacity.
But I'm sure many of our community members will attend.

So I'm here to suggest to show some love to our beloved @fredldotme in attending his talk on Saturday at 14h55.
More information here

Sadly I personally cannot be there with you all this year, but I intend on being there next year.
Enjoy the event.

My best wishes to Alfred for another great talk.

Hi @Eric-H

Here is an explanation:

Hi @iHgiBigyM

I had this issue last week, but this should be fixed by now.
Did you keep the "partitioning" box ticked?

Also are you trying to install Noble or Focal?

I had this issue trying to install Noble, Focal should be fine.
Also you can check the logs as explained in the error message to better understand what happens.

Hi @Scofus

Preinstalled apps like the gallery should not be uninstalled.

To fix this, you have to reinstall the whole system from a computer using the UBports installer.
As @MrT10001 you'd want to NOT select the "wipe data" box if you want to keep your data.

Alternatively, you can also switch to another channel (RC for example) and then switch back to the current one (Stable I presume).

Hi @linux_dude

The partition size is fixed on Ubuntu touch.
There is no debate about it.

I use to say that if you cannot work around those limitations, you shouldn't do it at risk of damaging your system.
Ubuntu Touch has an immutable filesystem for consistency across devices, stability, and ease of use and maintainability.

If you want to install desktop apps on your device, the beta version of what is supported are snaps.
You can use snapz0r from the open-store to enable it on your device.
You can also use Libertine like @arubislander already mentioned.
Or you can find another way (that I won't explain because of previous § :winking_face: )

Know one thing though, it's on purpose and people working on the system itself know better than me.
If you know better, feel free to join the effort and contribute to our current issues to demonstrate your skills.
It's the best way to be heard.

Hi @lxsed

The previous comments seemed relevant to me.
Alfred just shared this project of his linking a lib.
I understand your situation is a bit different, but you might find pointers

https://github.com/fredldotme/webhunt/blob/main/clickable.yaml#L5

Or you can share you sources so we can better understand your issue.
Because to me the snippets you shared don't make sense and I need more info to understand what is the issue you're facing.

Hi @Salah

The installer is certainly not the problem as other said.
You're jumping to conclusion on something you don't fully understand (no offense, I don't fully understand it as well)

I had a similar issue and I worked around it by switching my phone to a different USB port.
To be clear, I used a laptop with only two USB-C ports. On one I have a USB hub and when the phone was not detected, I unplugged it and plugged it into another port of the hub.
If I tried to only switch between two of them it didn't work it seemed like once used I couldn't make the same port work again.
When I unplug the hub and plug it in again it seems to reset.
The issue is probably on my OS, but I know how to work around it.

Maybe you share my issue, maybe not, but it has to do with your setup and not with the software.

Best of luck.

@Salah It could be a hardware issue.

Welcome @Il-Dorato

I'm happy to see fresh blood joining our community.

Season's greetings.

Hi @vince-vs

The website has been recently updated.
If you go to https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/promoted/
You'll find the promoted and recommended devices for the regular users who desire a fully featured device.

Spoiler ; this page will soon be updated with a new device that has a successful campaign...

The end user is always a focus for the system development.
The porting aspect is a more complex topic.
Porters work on devices they have and wish to be ported.
The foundation tries to make partnerships with manufacturers like Pine64, Volla and more to bring Ubuntu Touch to a larger user base and people who cannot afford or find our current promoted devices.

You have to understand that the porting aspect is a difficult problem to solve.
Maintaining the OS is also difficult but because it's a constant effort to keep up with the world. We don't have enough resources to work on new features.
