Hello everyone,

I'm encountering a similar issue as @ernest. After successfully encrypting /home/phablet with LUKS, my screen remains black after restarting LightDM, although SSH access continues to work fine. This happens on my Redmi Note 9S Pro running Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OT-5.

The workaround of locking the screen (using the power button) before initiating the force-reload of LightDM doesn't seem to work reliably anymore. I suspect that something has changed in OT-5, causing LightDM not to come back correctly when it's restarted while the display is on.

Has anyone experienced similar issues with OT-5 or knows of a more reliable way to restart LightDM without the screen staying black? Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

@StephPTi
Thank you!
Works like a charm.

@kristatos
Yes, both SIMs work.
I only use mobile data from SIM1 and data roaming is activated.
For outgoing calls/messages I selected SIM1.
The connection type for SIM1: 2G/3G/4G for SIM2: 2G/3G

Network provider SIM1: drei.at SIM2: blau.de
UT 24.04 (OTA-4) installed with ubports-installer

@Lakotaubp
the solution with:

sudo nano .config/upstart/gu.conf

with the content

start on starting dbus
exec initctl set-env --global GRID_UNIT_PX=28

doesn't work for me on UT 20.04 (OTA-4)
I created the ~/.config/upstart folder because it didn't exist.
Has anyone been able to adjust the font size in UT 20.04 using cli?

UT 20.04(OTA-4) can pair to BT speakers, but Amazfit GTR/GTR2 cannot be found.
Restarting the clock and phone several times doesn't help.
Could it be that drivers for this phone are incomplete?
Bus: Virtual indicates that the device is virtual, which is unusual for physical Bluetooth hardware?

Pairing with Amazfish in UT 20.04(OTA-4) on my GooglePixel 3a works.
Has anyone had the same experiences?

@tommiedom
Does anyone have a possible solution for using an ESIM for the Fairphone 4?
Or is the best solution to use the Volla-Phone 22?

@Keneda
Thanks! I found a script on: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/1012/one-method-to-encrypt-home-phablet/33, which I will continue to pursue.
But I haven't found any newer instructions yet.
Since this is a solution almost 3 years old, I thought that there might be newer options, which may have been implemented in the operating system or created as an app.
If anyone is using LUKS encryption, it would be helpful if someone would like to share it here.

@Emphrath
Is there any news in the meantime? Unfortunately I couldn't find any instructions for LUKS encryption in Ubuntu Touch.
Which instructions for /home and the SD-card can I use?

@lduboeuf
Editing directly the file text maybe ?

Not possible as it is right now, or it would be changed for anyone.

Like we can do for messaging bubble colors ?

Where can we do that ?

With Circle Message?

https://open-store.io/app/circle-message.mivoligo

Edit: I meant like Circle Message, to edit Systeminfo

@lduboeuf
Yes, that's exactly what I meant.
Is there a config for this?
Thanks

If I cannot answer a call, it is possible to reject the call with an SMS.
Unfortunately, I could not find the settings for these texts.
Where are these texts stored?

@lduboeuf
I have a small, slim service running on my PC Linux, which I start as soon as I call Thunderbird:
https://radicale.org/v3.html
Please DO NOT disable Syncevolution!
Syncevolution also synchronizes all calendars.
Here's how I set up my sync:

syncevolution --create-database backend=evolution-contacts database=addressbook
syncevolution --configure --template webdav username=chris password=123456789 syncURL=http://192.168.188.21:5232 keyring=no target-config@radicale
syncevolution --configure backend=evolution-contacts database=contacts @default addressbook
#syncevolution --configure backend=contacts database=contacts @default addressbook
# hier die Datenbank ID aus radicale dem Adressbuch zuordnen
syncevolution --configure database=http://192.168.188.21:5232/chris/cb7491ce-2181-a6cb-b3e4-ab25d8241d35/ backend=carddav target-config@radicale addressbook
syncevolution --configure --template SyncEvolution_Client Sync=None syncURL=local://@radicale username= password= radicale addressbook
syncevolution --configure sync=two-way backend=evolution-contacts database=addressbook radicale addressbook
syncevolution --sync slow radicale addressbook
# [ERROR] remote device ID 'syncevolution-01550ce8-4e8b-4ecb-b381-6538a552feb3' in config does not match the one from the peer 'syncevolution-33965ac5-3011-40cc-931e-7327cdfae0ea' - incorrect configuration?!
# Die ID in der ~/.config/syncevolution/radicale/config.ini laut Fehlermeldung austauschen ;-)
# anschließend sollte mit <$syncevolution --sync slow radicale addressbook> die Synchronisatino in beide Richtungen erfolgen

@lduboeuf
I'm using syncevolution and I created the configuration in the terminal with "--template webdav". My address book is a vCard 3.0.
Only the "Display name" field is used in the UT address book. As far as I found out the fields "First Name" "Last Name" are not used/displayed.
After the change in Thunderbird, I synchronized my contacts with the Radicale server (starts local in background with TB) and the subsequent syncevolution sync on UT refreshed all contacts.
If desired, I can make my configuration for the address book available as a new Topic.

@lool_lauris
With Thunderbird I have now found a solution.
When creating a new contact, TB always generates the display name in the form "First Name Last Name".
This can be corrected in Settings->Advanced->Configuration.

mail.addr_book.displayName.lastnamefirst -> true
The last name is set first in the display name.
This only applies to newly created contacts.

mail.addr_book.lastnamefirst -> 1
The address book is sorted by last name, first name (even if you already have contacts).

Since I use the "Cardbook" addon in Thunderbird, I have
Right click on the Cardbook Address Book -> Edit Address Book -> Miscellaneous -> Generate Friendly Names

The default setting there are:
({{1}} |)({{2}} |)({{3}} |)({{4}} |)({{5}} |)({{6}} |)({ {7}}|)

Here is the appropriate setting:
({{4}}, |)({{1}} |)({{2}} |)({{3}} |)({{5}} |)({{6}} |)( {{7}}|)

Click on the "Apply to" button and select the desired address book.
After synchronization, all my addresses in UT are now sorted by last name and the display name is "Last Name, First Name"
For me this question is solved

@lduboeuf said in Share address from contacts to uNav:

Not possible afaik

Ok I understand. Thanks.
Maybe someday there will be a solution for this?

@moem
Or try plugging in a USB 2.0 hub. It may be due to usb 3.0.

@kugiigi

... uNav can probably be easily setup to accept texts to directly search an address.

Yes, I know.
But how can I copy/extract the address from my stored contact/addressbook?

@alter
Yes, Option 1 and Option 2 work for me as you described.
The problem was how to select a recipient from the address book.

Adding recipient email
This is indeed as you described. So go to the To field in your new email, open the Contacts app and click on the recipient's email address, it will add the address added to the email in Dekko2.

This works with both options.
This has solved the issue for me too, thanks!

@roshi
Do you use 20.04?
Try UbuntuTouch 16.04 stable.
