@ksp-atlas Could you include the actual par of the logs that include the errors you are experiencing?

@wayward I moved your post to its own topic as it had nothing to do with where you posted it originally.

@domubpkm No, because the app has access to the whole SD card. And also a few more directories in your home folder. You can check which those are by examining the permissions of the Music app as listed in the Open Store.

@domubpkm It has to do with confinement. The Music app simply does not have the permissions to access the Videos folder, or any other folder in your /home/phablet directory. Most of the time this does not cause a problem, because the Media scanner does not scan those other folders. But it does scan the Video folder. Adding those to the list of files for the Music app. Then when the Music app reads that list and tries to gather metadata from those files it gets denied acces by AppArmor.

Not sure what is the best way to solve this. Just skip those files? Might work the best, as you could argue that they were misplaced in the first place. But users might be confused that they don't get picked up. But at least the app wouldn't crash...

@domubpkm Why would the Music app be trying to access your /home/phablet/Videos folder? Do you by any chance have any audio files stored there?

@naizena This topic is more of a discussion than a question, so it doesn't need to be marked solved imho.

When some users face intermittent issues with some of the preinstalled apps, a strategy that is often employed when trying to resolve these is to uninstall the app with the aim of reinstalling it, to see if that fixes the issue.

This is inadvisable for several reasons:

• You might face issues trying to reinstall the app.
  While some preinstalled apps are also available in the Open Store, they are treated differently. They are not really uninstalled, but hidden. And often reinstalling the app from the Open Store does not un-hide it. There are posts on the forum on how to get these back, but it is a hassle and requires some command line fiddling.
• It will probably not solve the issue you are experiencing anyhow.
  Almost certainly the issues are caused by (meta)data around the application, rather than the application itself. Uninstalling an application in Ubuntu Touch does not remove the application (meta) data. If this is the goal, then using the Ubuntu Touch Tweak Tool, downloadable from the Open Store, is the best way to go.

The TL;DR; of it is: DO NOT UNINSTALL PREINSTALLED APPS UNLESS YOU NO LONGER INTEND TO USE THEM.

@Salah said in Change Keyboard Tone Volume Feature:

My suggestion is to add a feature where we can control system volume such as keyboard tone or embedded in the UT system.

This is a great suggestion. As this is an open source project, it thrives on contributors. Here are some ways you can help to make it a reality:

• Check if an issue has already been opened for this on Gitlab. If not, feel free to open one. If it already exists, add a comment to the issue detailing what you mentioned on here.
• Be the person, or find a person that is willing to dive into the code to explore the possibilities and make the necessary changes.
• Work together with the maintainers to get the change merged into the main project code.
• Feel a sense of accomplishment that your improvements will make it into the hands of a few thousand users.

@Boldos Then it is unrelated.

@Salah As you have by now noticed, making it possible to customize the UI is not a focus of the Lomiri project.

What is possible to do now is what will be possible for the foreseeable future.

Many people seem to believe Linux means unlimited customizability, but this is not the case for all DE's. KDE is much more customizable than Gnome. And Pantheon has even less customizability options. Yet all are full fledged citizens of the Linux ecosystem in good standing.

@wally This is great news! Does anyone know however if the audio settings should be overriden in an emergency broadcast and that the alarm sound should always be audible?

To me it is too early for both excitement and scepticism. Neither contributes much at the moment.

Let us wait and see how this initiative pans out.

@stefancito70 said in How can I lock again my Pixel 3a XL after installing ubuntu touch?:

Is it possible to undo unlocking the phone?

It is possible, yes. But then your device will no longer boot. If you had to unlock the bootloader to install an alternative OS, such as some Android ROMs or UT, then it is not an option to relock the bootloader once they are installed and running.
You will brick your device.

@gwado Ah, Nextcloud music provides a Subsonic API. I was not aware.

@arubislander But to be clear I wasn't talking about the UT project as a whole. That might indeed be a bit intimidating to jump in to. I was talking about the Mimi Browser project which has a much narrower scope, and might be more accessible as a project to start contributing to.

@domubpkm I agree. What you are saying does not contradict what I am saying. Even things that urgently need doing, still need people to get them done. Either that, or other things that are even more urgent don't get done.

@domubpkm said in Ubuntu Touch Q&A 153 Call for Questions:

I think there is a lot of hope for this browser.

I understand the sentiment. But in actual reality this hope can only be realized if more people developers jump on board to help with the development.

So if anyone reading this knows some, encourage them to join.

@gwado There is a nextcloud plugin in the Online Accounts setting. Could you not integrate your app with that?

Here's some documentation to read up on about the Online Accounts[1]. It is still the old Canonical documentation, but I could not find the UBports mirror.

@Salah Then whatever issue you were facing was not due to OTA-6.

@Salah said in Focal 20.04 OTA-6 Released:

Just hope the vibration issue is not coming from the OTA-6 itself.

Are you not on OTA-6 now?
