@cliffcoggin Yes exactly, 4" Palm size!!! 😆 😂

I still have an old HP Jordana, so a pocket size.

@marlboro50 See this

@br1 You are right. I will do when I need help with it. I rarely SSH into the devices anyway.

@arubislander Well that was remarkably easy as it avoided the need to type accurately in the terminal, though I suppose anything is easy if you know how. It only took two minutes, and as a bonus it removed the LibreOffice icons that had remained after deleting the applications yesterday, and which I had not previously mentioned.

Thank you so much.

@moncon That was the answer thank you. I had no use for the subtitle field so I simply ignored it.

@cliffcoggin It works for me every time for years now. Meizu Pro 5, stable channel. Multiple accounts, IMAP, SSL/TLS, private server.

An update today has restored the functionality of the menu. Quick work by those concerned.

File manager does not display folder sizes

Wich is a bit of a lack i think.

GPS is back to normal. Puremaps reliably kept track of position on a two hour journey today so I guess the second update fixed the problem.

@cliffcoggin I think my favourite phone has to be the Nexus 4. Small, compact and so easy to repair. Unfortunately it will lose support when UT moves on to 20.04.

To wrap up this topic I went for a Tutanota free account for use on my Nexus 5. It was easy to set up and available within two minutes of creation. If it proves successful I am happy to pay the ludicrously cheap 12 Euros per annum.

Incidentally I used the application from the Open Store by Jose M Reyes.

@domubpkm said in Sapot browser home:

@cliffcoggin In settings, didn't you check 'restore previous session on startup'?

Well I had previously twice looked for such a setting to no avail, but have now finally found it. The icon was so faint against the page that always opened that it was difficult to see it. Problem now solved thank you.

Problem solved. I disabled uBlock Origin for the site and it started working. As far as I recall I have always had uBO enabled as I turn it on for everything, and it is not something I alter on a daily basis, so I wonder if the site has changed.

Problem solved. There is an unlabelled blue P on the donate page that leads to Paypal.

@cliffcoggin
Hi,
People who are able to donate a significant amount of money are used to getting what they think they will get, otherwise it will be returned or claimed.

What is not possible with donations, so they will be careful not to spend a lot of money in advance, but they want to try it out to form a satisfaction ranking, on the basis of which they decide what it is worth to you.

Only with hobbies and other passions or for donations to charities, the money plays a subordinate role.

It's just the way it is in this world, you can't deny it or change it.

@nero355 Why would you expect that? It's a phone not a computer.

Why wouldn't I expect that ?!

It's a phone that is powered by the same type of Kernel that holds the driver for my printer on my Laptop! 😉

(Avoiding the versions of both here, but you get the idea!)

The developers are testing an update - link to blog , so it may be resolved.

@mrt10001 said in Change to new phone:

The annoyance with any SONY phone is finding one with an unlocked bootloader, or a bootloader you can unlock.
You can buy an "unlocked" phone, but all that means is it is not SIM locked.
The SONY screens are really nice, but this annoyance with the bootloader has put me off.

I don't get it : Sony phones are THE phones for Jolla Sailfish and if you stick to those models then unlocking the bootloader in order to flash Ubuntu Touch shouldn't be an issue ?!

@levone1 I'm almost sold on the idea. Surprisingly there are no secondhand models for sale on Ebay in the UK, and only two new from either Germany or China. I'll keep looking for secondhand.

@keneda More likely I did not try hard enough when I first got the phone so I gave up as it was unimportant. The update prompted me to look again, and though not intuitive I have created a few albums for the 18 photos I keep on it.
