Adding this because it was frustrating for me and I could not remember this solution when setting up a new device.

Firing up a valid VPN connection from these instructions (mostly) gave me the message:
"VPN connection XXXX failed because there are no vpn secrets."

This setup uses a USERNAME / PASSWORD for authentication.
Changing username/pass to remove ALL non-alphanumeric characters from the BOTH the username and password fixed this.
This requires making changes with your provider credentials
ex: my_username => my123username

I'm pretty sure this is an encoding issue, but I'm not sure where to bug-post it.

@vmbonn

As you can see from this thread, we really need help with this area! Maybe you could pick up the contacts sync bits and make them what you want to see.

links!
It's really hard to find stuff - if you know where the code is, who to talk to, where to look, tell it everywhere!

Dekko 2 is released in the openstore !!

announce: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/1750/dekko-0-1-6-beta2-released

@advocatux , I'm more than happy to file - ( I came back to devel yesterday after filing some Q/A on rc )
I just really prefer to have a working VPN while I'm doing that...I get it though - I guess publicizing what I'm asking potentially breeds a feedback-less loop that makes the devel stale

FWIW, it appears that the original problem was an IP change for my VPN server - changing local config fixed.
bad timing.

haha! thanks @hummlbach

adb shell
tail -f  /var/log/syslog

Here it is (https://github.com/ubports/address-book-app)
It's not Contacts, it's address-book.

Can anyone point me to the source for Contacts app?

It's not listed on GitLab.

@Flohack , thanks for al lthe hard work on the 6P. I'm glad to have aother accessible device and exccited for the upgrade from hammerhead.

Is there a directory structure reference for the 6P?

During my data migration I found this difference when locating user-data :

# on  Nexus 5
$ find / -name user-data   
=> /data/user-data
# on Nexus 6P
$ ls /data/user-data
=> ls: cannot access '/data/user-data': No such file or directory
$ find / -name user-data
=> /userdata/user-data

@kugiigi said in UT data migration to Nexus 6P:

just the .local, and .config and those things work fine restoring in live sesssion.

thanks @kugiigi, that's good to know.

I'm working on upgrading from an N5 to a 6P from @Flohack's recommendations here.

Given current ADB status, I'm worried about my tar -x in a live UT on the target. Any thoughts on this flow before I break something?

# SOURCE DEVICE (N5)
adb root
adb reboot recovery
adb shell
tar -czpv -f /system-data.tgz /data/system-data/ >/system-data.out 2>/system
-data.er && \
tar -czpv -f /user-data.tgz /data/user-data/ >/user-data.out 2>/user-data.er

# TARGET DEVICE (N6p)
# adb shell not possible on N6p
# only shell is through sshd on running UT
scp ./system-data.tgz n6:
scp ./user-data.tgz n6:
ssh n6 
tar -xzv -f ./system-data.tgz # YIKES?!
tar -xzv -f ./user-data.tgz # YIKES ?!

Thanks.

I managed to get a key onto the 6P by dropping it into a web page on a local server, opening on 6P, and copy/pasting to ./.ssh/authorized_keys following instructions here.

I have access while UT is running, but not in recovery (TWRP) or bootloader.

Thanks.
For reference here is SSH access info.

Enabled via Terminal app :
sudo service start ssh

Not sure how to get a key on there without ADB, but looking.

I've installed UBports on a factory new 6P successfully with (mostly) these steps.

I'm having a time getting adb to connect.
Am I missing or forgetting something I need to do?

• When I recover to TWRP adb shell works fine.
• When in UBports, developer mode on, adb doesn't see the 6P:

» adb shell                                                                                                                                        
error: no devices/emulators found

In recovery, fasboot is also ok:

» fastboot devices                                                                                                                                 
ABCXXXXXXX123	fastboot

I have tried adding a device code:

» cat ~/.android/adb_usb.ini                                                                                                                      
0x18d1

then , unplugging, resarting adb, plugging back in.

• adb is running great and I'm able to connect to other UBports devices through the same cable.
• host syslog has no message when the 6P gets plugged in.

adb shell
tail -f  /var/log/syslog

I'm looking to tail the VPN logsto trougleshhot an openvpn NetMan problem.
I'm all set up with VPN Editor and have hadit all working but I'd like to view the connection logs on a NetMan VPN switch-on action.

tia.
