@wgarcia Very good idea, will try this!

Dear All,

Some years ago I run UT on a BQ 4 as a daily driver and for testing on a Google Nexus 5.
Most things worked, and I was satisfied, but because of work changes, I needed to switch
to an Android phone again.

Currently, I use a Samsung A40, but screen has cracks and battery is becoming weak,
so I would like to get another phone, maybe a FP 4/5 and try again Ubuntu Touch (with Waydroid).

There are 3 main apps I essentially need: TrustID, ZConnect and Raffeisen-ID for work.

Is this feasible? I would keep the A40 and slowly migrate to the FP.

Thanks a lot for the feedback

@applee It is not about downloading the system image, but the "simple" process of changing channel say from RC to Stable or vice versa. It says Fetching channels, the circle rotates and after 3 minutes I get the following on the screen:
< Channels settings
Channel to get updates from:

underneath all empty, no selection

Hi,

Nexus 5 on RC; whenever I want to change channel settings it takes a very long time, sometimes it does not even work. There are 4 channels: development,edge,Release candidate and Stable. Why the different writing style?

Why is it so slow changing them?

In the /var/log/syslog I get those entries, while connected via mobile data (LTE):

Thanks for your answers!

@moem I made the change https://translate.ubports.com/translate/ubports/dialer-app/en_GB/?q=
I need this for 2FA!!!

@cela Hi, do you have a link to for purchasing such devices? thanks a lot!

Hi, BQ E4.5 I ran ls -l in / and go this, see
Is this normal, that 4 links (red) are dead?

thanks a lot

Hi,

I discovered this error: Cannot add VPN configuration on Nexus 5 rc! Is this a known issue?

I have an N5 with Ubports OTA11 RC, how can I test it?
thanks

the link to the issue: https://github.com/ubports/address-book-app/issues/56

@cherrie See also this here: http://sturmflut.github.io/ubuntu/bq/2015/05/04/hacking-the-bq-part-2-factory-mode/

@doniks I tried with my BQ E4.5 in Factory Mode and it reveals 3 fixed FM Stations: 88 MHz, 98,7 MHz and 108 MHz. I could listen to them. So for the BQ E4.5 on the hardware side everything is there, what is missing is a App/Software.

@cesar-herrera What VPN Protocol are you using? The Ubports GUI supports only OpenVPN at the moment. Via terminal you can connect to VPN Protocol IPSec.

@jsnjhn Did you succeed in the end?

@jsnjhn Hi, I am not using ProtonVPN, but take a look here: https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-vpn-setup/

@flohack Is it possible to see what radio firmware is installed on N5 using UBport?

@ukphil PIA uses OpenVPN, so my understanding is you can use the UBPorts GUI interface.

@wgarcia I tested it so far on a N5 running RC. Create a config file e.g. vpn.conf
#######################################
IPSec gateway <name-of-vpn-gw>
IPSec ID <ID>
IPSec obfuscated secret <long line of characters make sure it is on 1 line>
Xauth username <your-login>
#######################################

Now call: sudo vpnc-connect --domain <your-domain> /home/phablet/vpn.conf
It will ask first your sudo password, then the password for the VPN service.
At the end this message will be displayed.
VPNC started in background (pid: xxxxxxx)...

Execute command: ifconfig tun0
and you should have a tunnel interface with an IP Address.

To disconnect type: sudo vpnc-disconnect

There is no GUI at the moment, current VPN offers only OpenVPN.

What is PIA VPN? With ota3 vpnc is included which allows to access a Cisco VPN network.

Hi,

for Android there is a utility called: Vysor that allows for sharing the smartphone screen on a Desktop. It exists as a Chrome extension or a standalone app.
Is there something similar for UBports? Using a BQ E4.5 device.

thanks a lot.
