Great. Thanks!

@tomoqv said in No Caldav synchronization of a freshly connected calender after reboot:

The one thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to run a syncevolution cron job. It seems that the X server requirement is preventing running these commands in the background. But syncing manually doesn't take that long, so that's what I will use for now.

Same with me. I manually trigger the command in the terminal and everything gets synchhronised

Sounds interestng to mount webdav folders directly to the file manager. Can someone advice, how to do this?

@Daelaam : Sounds great!
Some in the german community are currently thinking about founding a co-operative do do exactly what you are planning with a community based legal entity.
Have a look here on matrix.org:
#UT-Verbreiten:x18.id4net.de
or here on telegram

You and every other interested community member are very much welcome to join.
Maybe we should join forces. We (the german group) currently have no idea where to get new and up to date UT compatile phones with no OS.

Backup works great this way

• shut down my FP2
• restarted with volume up and power to recovery mode
• connect my FP2 via USB to my ubuntu 16.04 laptop
• open terminal on laptop
• type adb devices in laptop terminal to check if device is available
• cd in folder in laptop the backupt should land
• type adb pull /data/system-data in laptop terminal
  --- pull has started and lasts for feeled hours to get ready---
• after finished type adb adb pull /data/user-data in laptop terminal
  --- wait another hours to get that ready
• backup completed

Same situation here on my FP2 rc22

Thank you all for your recommendations.

@advocatux said in backup complete device:

If you want to backup the whole phone you can set it on recovery mode and adb to it and copy (pull) /data/system-data and /data/user-data

This sounds exactly what I want. So it will be adb pull /data/system-data followed by adb pull /data/user-data?

Am I right with that the data will be safed in the folder where adb has been executed?

Sounds complicated. Afaik there are only two folders to backup.

I want to prepare myself for the upgrade to 16.04. To make sure that I can restore my old and running daily driver in the case, that some important apps will not be compatible with 16.04 I want to backup it before upgrading.

• Is there a tool I can use? In former times @Flohack has worked on a script inside the MDT (exept the ubports installer because this is not running on my 16.04 desktop ubuntu)
• Can I do it manually?In that case, what folders do I have to copy for this?

Thanks in advance.

@advocatux said in UBports installer under ubuntu 16.04 desktop:

First time I read this /hdd/home/sebastian/ it got my attention too. How is your /home mounted exactly?

Ah yes. This could be. Have to check with my Admin. Thanks.

I dont think so. But I am on ubuntu since 07.04 so maybe some weired things have evolved

Reboot failed. Same error

adb and fastboot is installed. I try the restart. Thanks, @advocatux

Os: Ubuntu 16.04
Snap latest from github. I have installed the ubports-installer the first time

Hi together,
I followed the install instruction here: https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer

And this was the permission error even with sudo ubports-installer:

sebastian@sebastian-N551JK:/hdd/home/sebastian$ ubports-installer
2018/06/27 10:50:22.377302 cmd_run.go:442: WARNING: XAUTHORITY environment value is not a clean path: "/hdd/home/sebastian/.Xauthority"

Hy together again.
The alternate-webapp-generator.sh worked really good for me for 15.04 issues. What do you think, will this also work for 16.04?

@dtarrant said in webapp creator tutorial:

@bastos This topic is about webapp creator. Maybe you'd be better to start a new topic about clickable. I would be interested in that once I have got my head round webapp creator. Good luck.

Ah. OK.
But me as a real coding noob is exactly searching for a tool to create webapps. Maybe I should do it here: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/291/web-app-generator/27

What is your experience with the apps not already on 16.04 framework? Are they working in 16.04 also?
I made some custom webapps and I am using the Authenticator, Tagger, RockWork etc and I wonder what will happen afert upgrading to xenial with those apps

I have done all the steps to create a webapp with clickable described here http://clickable.bhdouglass.com/en/latest/getting-started.html#getting-started

Than, when I run 'clickable' it is downloading the image 'clickable/ubuntu-sdk:15.04-armhf' locally

So it seems to be only vivid compatible and not xenial compatible. Am I right?
