When connecting my pinephone to an external monitor the primary screen vs the touch pad screen are revers. Unity appears on my phone and the touchpad/keyboard on the external monitor. The issue seems to be in Lomiri. I tried to fix the issue myself but I'm not sure how do build/test such a thing. Is there a tutorial/doc on how to build and test modification on Lomiri for PinePhone?

@scottbouch You can use UT Tweak Tool and prevent suspension of the terminal app. This will stop ssh session from being closes.

I know we currently don't use systemd. But do you guys have an opinion on using systemd-homed for the phone? Do you think it would add value to it and you it increase it security the way it can encrypt the home folder?

I'm currently looking into makeing my home smarter. I saw that UT was supporting Domoticz and nymea. Both look nice. I was wondering if people had feedback on those two.

Also is there any recomendation on smart devices company/protocol? The more opensource and secure, the better. Personaly I don't want any thing like alexa or google home stuff I want domotic but without internet.

@hummlbach Thanks! I'll be looking into it.

I was looking into trying some new REST api tools. So I was wondering if there was any REST api made by the UT community that I could help on.( or one that works fine but could still use some improvement)

I had this idea that I wanted to share about having "plugin" application. That would allow your app settings to be in the UT settings. That would give a better feeling of integration to the platforme. For example, the indicator weather app could have no "useless" app in the drawer and only be setup through the setting app. Or an application like the vpn editor could just remove the vpn section in the settings and replace it so you don't have two vpn setting with one being "useless".

@3arn0wl the keybord bukey wasn't working indeed. I was using a bluethoot keybord.

@kugiigi yes I did need to restart unity, but for scaling you need too anyway so I connect, change the scaling and restart once.

I suggest using UT tweak Tool and dropping the Scaling all the way down to 6. It's not flawless but it makes it usable. Beware to rest it before going back to a phone.

Just adding a +1 to this issue as I too run a nextcloud on my private network that I access through a VPN so I can't use let's encrypt.

I just got my slimport cable, and despite the issues, It. Is. AMAZING!

I'm on devel chanel right now and I past a couple hours playing around with it on desktop mode and I wanted to say how nice it is! My personal workflow include email, youtube and remote dev through ssh with vim/tmux so nothing that the UT phone can't do.

Can't wait for the nexdock so that I can replace my laptop XD

Hi, if you have any device left I could do a give away during a linux meetup in montreal for publicity if you are interested.

In an interview, Dalton mention that click package are the ansetor of snap. Does it mean we should move to snap at some point?

@xqqy any progress on this port?

Minor issues, the name of the street in navigation mode only take one row. on my Nexus 5 I see "Boulvard bon..." which is missing most part of the acctual name making it hard to use sometime.

@Aurze turns out rebooting the device fixed the issues. You can just ignore me.

Nexus 5 edge, I just get a black screen when I start the app

I don't know if there is any kind of logs that could help

I don't know who desing the new launcher, but you sir are my hero. On thing that I love about UT is that android and ios feels exactly the same to me and UT with all the swipe gesture brought a new view on phone UI that I love it. And gettng ride of the 'home' screen and having a app drawer like that is the best desing I ever used.

I know some ppl don't like it but I hope if we make change it will be in the form of configuration and not removing this desing.

I switch to edge on my main device just for this feature and I dont regret it!

@alan_g wow super detail answer thanks for the detail and the explaination.
