Sorry, I couldn't let it go... this is what I found out... It took me 15 minutes including writing this reply. Let's find all files in /usr that contains case insensitive word "launcher" $ find /usr/ -iname '*launcher*' /usr/bin/cautious-launcher /usr/bin/unity-webapps-qml-launcher /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ubuntu-system-settings/private/Ubuntu/SystemSettings/Launcher /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ubuntu-system-settings/private/Ubuntu/SystemSettings/Launcher/libUbuntuLauncherPanel.so /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ubuntu-system-settings/liblauncher-plugin.so /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/unity8/qml/Greeter/Unity/Launcher /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/unity8/qml/Greeter/Unity/Launcher/libUnityLauncherAS-qml.so /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/unity8/qml/Unity/Launcher /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/unity8/qml/Unity/Launcher/libUnityLauncher-qml.so /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/libertine/launcher /usr/share/ubuntu/settings/system/launcher.settings /usr/share/ubuntu/settings/system/qml-plugins/reset/ResetLauncherHome.qml /usr/share/ubuntu/settings/system/qml-plugins/launcher /usr/share/unity/themes/launcher_background_middle.png /usr/share/unity/themes/launcher_background_top.png /usr/share/unity/themes/launcher_background_bottom.png /usr/share/unity/themes/launcher_reflection.png /usr/share/applications/unitywebappsqmllauncher.desktop /usr/share/unity8/Launcher /usr/share/unity8/Launcher/LauncherDelegate.qml /usr/share/unity8/Launcher/FoldingLauncherDelegate.qml /usr/share/unity8/Launcher/Launcher.qml /usr/share/unity8/Launcher/FoldingLauncherDelegate.qmlc /usr/share/unity8/Launcher/Launcher.qmlc /usr/share/unity8/Launcher/LauncherPanel.qmlc /usr/share/unity8/Launcher/LauncherPanel.qml /usr/share/unity8/Launcher/LauncherDelegate.qmlc /usr/share/icons/suru/apps/scalable/preferences-desktop-launcher-symbolic.svg Hmm... the /usr/share/unity8/Launcher folder looks promising... After reading, what's in the /usr/share/unity8/Launcher/Launcher.qml, there is a parameter that looks promising: 28 29 property bool autohideEnabled: false 30 property bool lockedVisible: false I mean the autohideEnabled... Let's see, where it's used... $ grep -nr autohideEnabled /usr/share/unity8/Launcher/ /usr/share/unity8/Launcher/Launcher.qml:29: property bool autohideEnabled: false /usr/share/unity8/Launcher/Launcher.qml:411: if (root.autohideEnabled && !root.lockedVisible) { /usr/share/unity8/Launcher/Launcher.qml:607: autohideEnabled: true Only in three positions... maybe if it was always true, the launcher would stay hidden... try to edit the line 29 (you'll need to remount the / as rw) and restart unity8 via UbuntuTouchTweakTool... ... This is all the effort I'm willing to invest into this thread for now. Maybe it will help. Happy hacking. EDIT: maybe the autohideEnabled is not he way to go, maybe it does someting else, I haven't tried...

@chdslv Nexus 6 port appears to be abandoned https://github.com/Halium/projectmanagement/issues/30

@garyn4 said in UBPorts - Redmi Note 7 anyone seen this?: It loses the connection to the cell network. Then, its a problem, after all its a ceel phone.

@sunweaver@fosstodon.org said on Mastodon: I guess #Lomiri won't be so lightweight. It's a phone operating UI, so stuffed with graphical effects. It will be possible to run native #Wayland applications and #X11 applications via Xwayland or Xmir. There will be a set of native apps (telephone, browser, etc.) that will run in a special sandboxed setup (#libertine). I am in fact quite curious, what hurdles (in terms of Ubuntu'isms) we will stumble over... I hope to have everything in #Debian for the #bullseye Debian release.

@chdslv Use the wipe option on the installer. It will remove everything though and give you a clean install.

@chdslv said in How to do autoremove and clean?: How does the system gets cleaned after app upgrades? Is that done automatically? Yes. Click packages do not have dependencies. When one is removed, it is no longer on the system, and there are no other packages to be removed as a result. Only thing that remains is user data and config, so you can still access it, or in case you install the app again in future.

@advocatux Thanks! Anyway, I think a touch centered distro won't work with Dex. The device is supposed to work as a touchpad, when an external monitor is used. Don't know even, it'd get installed. Thanks anyway.

I found the answer to my own question. There is a light on the bottom of N5 that keeps flashing, and the envelope icon on top becomes green.

@wgarcia said in uNav on N5: @chdslv I'm using unav and another tracking app (Activity Tracker) and in both GPS works as expected in a Nexus 5 16.04. Same for me - no problems on nexus 5 except it still takes some time getting first GPS fix

@StephPTi Thank you! Works like a charm.

@tricky I also made a ticket here today, https://github.com/UbuntuOpenStore/openstore-meta/issues/217 Hope it is the right place.

@lakotaubp Thanks! I have few more questions. Will open another thread for that.

@chdslv you will not bring back android. Go ahead.
