I have filed a complaint to the internet provider via the OCU. I guess they'll day it's not their fault.
Next shot might be UBports as foundation to file a complaint via https://ec.europa.eu/solvit/index_en.htm

My guess is that the blockage, being two Sundays in a row might be because of the tele more info also here.

Edit: Some users on Mastodon suggested to take a look at OONI as they start gathering information this subject.

@mariogrip ah! The rat is out:

Provider is blocking the repo2 also:

• http(s)://repo.ubports.com/
• https://www.ubports.com/

Sorry if I upset someone, but in my opinion use of Waydroid should be anecdotic, not a goal. The development team is small, and I think they should concentrate is making UT the best they can.
Additionally I think a user that doesn't install UT because of the lack of Waydroid, as a user that hopes to run .exe files in a Linux repo, is a user that will not swap to UT when Waydroid works better because they will lack some other random Android thing. This has happened before, this will happen again.

So let's repeat again all together: UT is not Android.

Extra ball, you don't have to use other OS's app for bank if you complain to the bank. Advantages to be old I guess.

It's sifnificative that the main use of UT is Waydroid. So, we want to use a Linux distro to run .exe files. Maybe, you do not want to use a Linux distro, maybe you want to use Windows but you don't like it.

@pparent Oh very interesting. I'm not that optimist with the Spanish Government.
They call it MiDNI (that I misread in my head XD).
Interoperability laws are from the EU, right?
(I'm not that optimist: We have not achieve interoperability between instant message app yet... and DNIe2.0 and DNIe3.0 were a disaster)

Anyhow, I'm glad for you (and a bit jealous ^_^⁾

Aaand today is working with no problem.
May be related to football, the end of the world or something

@mariogrip @gpatel-fr mhm
I can get the repo2 on Tor... mhm...

I'm trying to build locally lomiri-notes-app
clickable desktop throws this error:

Get:20 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security/multiverse amd64 Packages [33.1 kB]
Reading package lists...
E: Failed to fetch http://repo2.ubports.com/dists/focal/InRelease  Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NOSPLIT' (does the network require authentication?)
E: The repository 'http://repo2.ubports.com focal InRelease' is not signed.
The command '/bin/sh -c apt-get update && apt-get install -y --force-yes --no-install-recommends libboost-dev && apt-get clean' returned a non-zero code: 100
Command exited with non-zero exit status 100, see above for details. This is most likely not a problem with Clickable.

I edit here as well:
So, if you depend on Spain's internet network it may be common to get http(s)://xxx.ubports.com blocked on Sundays (and on any other day that they do %&$$% football matches on tv).

Workaround: use a vpn
Long term solution: report to European organisms

Ouh! I didn't vote yet?

• developers:

  • Brian Douglass, for keeping the Open Store up and running for ten nearly 10 years (8 and a half? 9?)
  • Marius Gripsgård well. You know why

• apps:

  • TELEports, without this app, I wouldn't work my way around
  • uNav, the light navigation app, with translated voices, that has been working for the last 9 years?

@gpatel-fr nice! Thanks.
It look that it works very well!

Ouh! actually it's a nice idea to use python... I have learn a trick now.

https://gitlab.com/cibersheep/update-apps/-/commit/2f625ff90ccfa94fb605512c6fede0c00199cf7f

This assumes pytho3 is installed in the system

@CiberSheep said in Script for updating apps [help needed]:

with the default tool in the system, without an external tool

what's the 'system' in fact ?

A Linux machine.

python as installed in 24.04 has json (of course, it's part of the 'batteries') and yaml is packaged too. So if the system is a phone under noble it has everything needed for a conversion.

I was thinking first a computer, but it is nice to think that UT could be the target. Is it ready now, though?

If the job is done in a context where for some reason the yaml package is not present, there is always json.
clickable.json is set as deprecated, if I remember that correctly

This assumes that UT clickable.json files are always valid json.

We are upgrading a working project. So, yes

@gpatel-fr said in Script for updating apps [help needed]:

or is there more complicated clickable.json files ?

Thanks for asking. Yep, when the json has nested elements it would fail?
For example applying the script to this json:

}
[...]
  "kill": "qmlscene",
  "dependencies_host" : [
	"qml-module-ubuntu-onlineaccounts2"
  ]
}

will leave a yml file similar to

[...]
  "kill": "qmlscene"
  "dependencies_host":
	"qml-module-ubuntu-onlineaccounts2"

and, I think, it should end with a list

"dependencies_host":
    - "qml-module-ubuntu-onlineaccounts2"

I was collecting some of the regex and code I found here to make a script to update apps from Xenial to Focal.

I've put some of this in an unfinished sh:
https://gitlab.com/cibersheep/update-apps
MR are welcome to finish the process that are missing

Warning: It is not complete, I'm sure there's a better way of doing things and it is a good moment to do the same for Noble. Here's where I need your help.

Xenial to FocalUpdate to Morph

• clickable.json to yaml
  • this is pretty bad, is there a better way of doing this? I mean, with the default tool in the system, without an external tool
  • it will leave a dirty yaml file that need to be edited by hand
• Framework update
  • I think this is ok
  • I'm sure I forgot something here
• Update to Morph
  • Probably ok
• Update imports and Ubuntu qml items
  • It turned out pretty well

@naz.R said in Merezhyvo browser:

Thanks again and feel free to check the code if you want to.
code base

Thanks. I was able to build it from source but not installing it from the Open Store, I see now why, and some minor errors.
Again, thank you. You have fun developing this app ^__^

@messayisto I'm experiencing some delays as well, but site is available.

Thanks for the announcement, but I don't think the app will show on the Open Store.
Installing via download will fail.
There's no code available, as you licensed as private (but the code you are using is licensed open source)
Anyhow, unpacking the click you have an error on the apparmor:
"policy_version": 2404.1,
it should say
"policy_version": 24.04.1,

also your manifest doesn't include a framework (I'm not an expert, but you might need to check this as well)

Maybe related to:
https://gitlab.com/theopenstore/openstore/-/issues/24

@messayisto said in App: PodCat (a fork of Podbird):

@CiberSheep oooops openstore app does not open...

Do you mean the Open Store doesn't open?
Or the Podcat app doesn't open when you tap the «open» button from the Open Store?

Thank you for the donation!
