Hello @ all,

i'm working on an equalizer app for UT (https://github.com/bigbrotherisstillwatching/utEqualizer). I recently updated to Noble and now playback of e.g. the music-player pauses when i deactivate the equalizer by setting the default sink back to sink.primary_output. This does not happen, when activating the equalizer by setting the default sink to the created equalizer-sink, playback just continues.

Does anyone know, what the problem is and IF or HOW i can make it work like before on Focal (?); because it didn't happen there. Is this because of changes in pulseaudio or media-hub or a bug or something else?

Help appreciated!

Greetings bbiw

@ikoz I think i have found the solution. After allowing outgoing traffic to 188.166.175.79 port 5001 the notifications seem to work. lsof, netstat and a little bit more googling helped me. After disabling ufw; lsof and netstat were showing the IP and port after a notification came in. Port 443 is needed, too. Unfortunately logging with ufw does not work, but who cares, i didn't need it. Thanks for pushing me into the right direction, this warning app could save a life.

Please help!!!

Hello all,

i've installed an app that warns me e.g. in the case of fire. It was removed from the OpenStore, but it's source code can be found here: https://github.com/S60W79/warnapp-deutschland or https://gitlab.com/S60W79/warnapp-deutschland.

The problem is i've activated ufw and because of that i don't receive the push notifications.

Does anyone know which port to open for this or a way to find out which port is used or which firewall rule to set?

Thanks all!

@kugiigi When using QGuiApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling); it looks the same on phone and TV. That's nice, but i think i will stick with units.gu(). I've tried it and, so far, it works nice. I saw there are problems, but that's not the fault of my app.

@wynn1212 You're the best . TBH i was hoping you would do it, because you faced the same problem. Maybe there will be a real solution soon .

@ikoz I use the Label component somewhere else in the app and the scaling problem persists. The text is still very large on TV.

@kugiigi I've used units.gu() before, but didn't know or forgot the meaning of it. This maybe a good hint, i will try this. Thank you.

As for the header i've found another solution:

Set font.pointSize to hdrrec.height/3, this way the relation stays the same. Maybe i will use this relation thing for other texts the problem still persists, because Text components for which I didn't set a size has no scaling problem. E.g. setting font.pointSize to txt1.font.pointSize*2 or i will try with the grid units like mentioned above.

I will write again in the event of further problems.

@kugiigi I think i've logged into gitlab via my github account. Why shouldn't this be simply possible in the future? Maybe you're right, i don't know. Another reason for me to remove the account was that i have so many accounts on the internet and don't want to lose overview. Perhaps I will try to open one again.

@wynn1212 Sorry, but i have no gitlab account. I had one, but removed it because i haven't used it for quite a while.

Hello all,

i'm working on an app that, so far, works well on phone screen. But when connecting the phone to a TV over USB-C-to-HDMI-cable e.g. the PageHeader text is extremely large. Here's a sample code:

Rectangle {
    id: mainPage
    anchors.fill: parent

    PageHeader {
        id: header
        title: "ABC"
        z: 1
        contents: Rectangle {
            id: hdrrec
            anchors.fill: parent
            color: "white"
            Text {
                id: hdrtxt
                anchors.left: hdrrec.left
                anchors.verticalCenter: hdrrec.verticalCenter
                text: header.title
                font.pointSize: 40
            }

If i change font.pointSize to font.pixelSize the text is much smaller on phone screen but not on TV, it's still very large, i can't even see a difference between font.pointSize and font.pixelSize.

Does anyone know what i should change or which Text QML Type properties to use? I can't find any useful informations from Google. I guess it's a special Ubuntu Touch thing, because of the possibility to change between windowed and staged mode?

This is not the only problem, maybe someone can help me with the others, too.

Edit: I have found Screen QML Type, is this the way to go?

Ok, i have tried for myself and downgraded the images. Waydroid doesn't crash anymore. This isn't really a solution, but fixes the problem for now. Thank you very much.

Btw. with the newer images Avast finds malware in htmlviewer. Maybe this is false positive, i don't know. This is no problem with the old 20250426 image, cause htmlviewer isn't even installed.

@wynn1212 : Show taps is disabled in my Developer options. When enabling it, Waydroid and eventually whole Lomiri crashes. After that even touch inputs (without external display) don't work anymore, Waydroid instantly crashes. To disable it again (i'm glad this was possible, cause Waydroid remains unusable with Show taps enabled) i had to do a adb shell settings put system show_touches 0 in Terminal. When using a bluetooth mouse without external display Waydroid crashes, too.

Is it possible to downgrade Lineage images without data loss? I can try if this fixes the problem for now.

Hello all,

when i connect bluetooth mouse & keyboard to my Fairphone 4, connect the phone to my TV with a USB-C-to-HDMI-cable and start Waydroid, Waydroid starts correctly, but crashes and restarts as soon as i hover with the mouse cursor over the Waydroid window. There aren't any useful informations when starting Waydroid from Terminal, even with --verbose and/or --details-to-stdout enabled.

Anyone has an idea what the problem is?

It's been awhile since I've used the installer, it surely has changed since then. Thanks for the hints.

Thank god. That's what I wanted to hear . If I remember right, the last time I tried with the installer this didn't work. I had to go back to Android (Fairphone OS) first and then install Ubuntu Touch again, because the installer didn't recognize the phone (as a valid one) when Ubuntu Touch is already installed. Thanks for the answers .

Ok, but what about my "real" question? Does OTA-8 contain all changes from OTA-7? I'm a little bit confused, because OTA-7 was smaller than OTA-8 and in some cases, e.g. updating a program, I can leave out updates while in other cases I can not.

Hello all, unfortunately I've missed the OTA-7 upgrade because I constantly deferred it to tomorrow . Can I now upgrade from OTA-6 to OTA-8 without any problems? I believe I can, but am not 100% sure. The real question is: Does OTA-8 contain all changes from OTA-7? Thanks in advance.

A pity. Than i'll have to deal with that and re-enable it after every call.

Hello, i have a Fairphone 4 with Ubuntu Touch Focal OTA-5. I'm using my phone as a gateway to the internet in a WLAN network provided by a mobile router. My problem is that during phone calls mobile data disconnects and e.g. my TV that's in the same network has no more internet, too. Internet TV or webradio stops, what is very annoying. Does someone know if this is normal or an error?
