    • RE: How to use Spotify on Ubuntu Touch

      Earlier, @arubislander mentioned:

      @arubislander said in How to use Spotify on Ubuntu Touch:

      @connochaetes
      There is work being done on a native Spotify client by @manland. Look here to help testing the beta version of his app.

      I tested the app. For me, it's the solution. - Spotify-Iris still won't work on my OnePlus One (bacon). I hope, my long postings weren't bothering you. Perhaps, someone can learn some things about libertine containers by reading them.

      Thanks to the community.

      @manland Thanks & 👍 It's working just nice. I hope to find a version of this app that you approve stable in the OpenStore, soon.

    • RE: Bluetooth and OPO... again

      @Moem I'm also using an OPO (Bacon), and I am experiencing the same problems.

      Sadly, I also don't know, what to do (instead of waiting for the next software release). Greetings.

    • RE: Futify (spotify client) need beta testers

      @manland Hello, thank you for your effort. I am interested in Futify, but I'm in need of some advice.

      I am using a OnePlus One, OTA-12, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - armhf (20200507). I'm aiming to get the right click package in order to install it via UT Tweak Tool.

      • Could you point out an active link? ... or ...
      • Could you point give me a few hints on how to get a build by myself? I guess, I'm in need of a basic tutorial in dealing with GitLab and Clickable.

      Please, excuse me, if I didn't see the appropriate information in this thread or on the Futify GitLab page. Greetings to the UBports community for doing a great job.

    • RE: Wallpaper folder?

      @AppLee Thank you for your quick and helpful response. In theory, the usage of the find command seemed to be an appropriate approach. Sadly, the details weren't clear to me.

      It 's nice to experience that experts and newbies can communicate friendly in this forum. This way, casual users are enabled to use UBports. Thanks to the UBports community.

    • RE: Wallpaper folder?

      @AppLee Thanks for your forum advice. Perhaps, I'll try it in the way intended by you.
      @domubpkm Thanks for the link.

      Just to prevent a misunderstanding: It 's just that I don't know the location of the wallpaper files. Obviously, at this moment, I am not able to get this information by reading the source code - without any hints.

    • RE: How to use Spotify on Ubuntu Touch

      OK. I just tested authentification and Mopidy-Iris on another GNU/Linux machine. It 's working there.
      So, right now, I 'll "only" have to get things (e. g. Mopidy-Iris in a libertine container... or Futify) running on my UBports device.

    • RE: How to use Spotify on Ubuntu Touch

      Is there an alternative to Mopidy-Iris. (So far, mopidy itself was working for me.)

      @arubislander Thanks for your suggestion. I'm going to have a look.

    • RE: How to use Spotify on Ubuntu Touch

      OK. Obviously, I had to do some homework. (To all the readers: Thanks for your patience. Hopefully, my posts could be useful for UBports learners.)


      It 's a standard that you the libertine container's version is the same as UBports' - in my case 16.04 (xenial):

      libertine-container-manager create -i xenial
      

      I am switching as root into the newly built libertine container. It 's a GNU/LInux system where packages could be installed via apt:

      libertine-container-manager exec -i xenial -c "/bin/bash"
      

      For example, I am installing vim:

      apt install vim
      

      I am leaving the libertine container:

      exit
      

      Outside the libertine container, I can see the installed packages this way:

      libertine-container-manager list-apps
      

      I added the matching mopidy repository. If I am right, on a 16.04 (xenial) system, it has to be jessie:

      wget -q -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mopidy.list https://apt.mopidy.com/jessie.list
      

      I am installing mopidy and mopidy-spotify via apt. I do the (hopefully) appropriate configuration. I am starting mopidy using the new icon in my OnePlus One's GUI. Here 's the appropriate log file:

      cat ~/.cache/upstart/application-legacy-xenial_mopidy_0.0-.log
      

      Yay! So far, all went well. - Now, I have to install Mopidy-Iris as a Python package. Therefore, I have to install Python3.7. This is, where the road is starting to get bumpy (for me), for I am not too familiar with Python packages:

      apt install software-properties-common
      add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
      apt install python3.7
      apt install python3-pip
      python3.7 -m pip install Mopidy-Iris
      

      Now, thing's are getting out of (my) control:

      • A message is requesting me to upgrade pip.
      • I guess, mopidy is installed as a Python package in another version as the previous one.
      • I am not able to start mopidy via icon. I am not able to see a file ~/.cache/upstart/application-legacy-xenial_mopidy_0.0-.log.
      • Starting mopidy in the libertine container's console via command line, I see that (another version of) gstreamer is requested.

      I guess, this dependency mash-up is caused by Python3.7 from the deadsnakes repository. At this moment, I am not able to fix this.

      Any suggestions?

    • RE: How to use Spotify on Ubuntu Touch

      Hello.

      Thank you for this instructive tutorial. Most of the steps went well. But there were some problems.

      (There 's the minor issue, that the referenced icon audio-x-generic isn't there. But I guess, that 's something, I'll figure out by myself. I just wanted to keep you informed.)

      Sadly, it won't work: If I click on the Mopidy icon, there 's a wheel for a moment. Then it stops and vanishes. Is there a way to get a log file?

      libertine-container-manager list-apps
      xenial_mopidy_0.0
      xenial_python2.7_0.0
      xenial_python3.5_0.0
      xenial_python3.7_0.0
      xenial_vim_0.0
      

      I had to do some version upgrades for Mopidy-Iris wouldn't start with python2.7. Could the problem be originated in the parallel installation of different versions of python?

      Container:
      Ubuntu 'Xenial Xerus' 16.04
      
      OnePlus One
      bacon
      Ubuntu 16.04 (OTA-12)
      

      Could it be a problem with the Spotify authorization? Do I have to use "..."? I am not sure, if I have to use the (kind of cryptic) username mentioned on https://www.spotify.com/de/account/overview/.

      Please, let me know, if you need further informatoin. Any help would be welcome.

    • Wallpaper folder?

      Hi,

      In which folder do I find my custom wallpapers? I've changed the wallpapers a few times using: Systemeinstellungen -> Hintergrund -> Benutzerdefiniert (I have to guess the english version, it might be: system settings -> wallpapers -> custom) Now, I want to collect all my wallpapers and save them elsewhere.

      Any help would be welcome.

    • RE: Trying to use the UBports Installer on a Debian system with an OnePlus One: Failed to start adb server

      Thanks, that 's all very kind and helpful.

      • I installed adb and fastboot. (I 'm not sure, if this was necessary.)
      • I used the ".AppImage" file as a normal user.
      • I watched the installation video carefully: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=zuLFTGkuD68&feature=emb_logo
      • I enabled the developer mode on the phone's exiting CyanogenMod operating system. (The "how to..." button shows, how it 's done.)
      • Then, it worked out just fine.

      The problem is solved. Perhaps, this forum issue might encourage another newbie to check out UBports. Again, thanks to the community.

    • Trying to use the UBports Installer on a Debian system with an OnePlus One: Failed to start adb server

      Hello,

      I used UBports on a Bq Aquaris E5 for a while. So, first of all: Thanks to the community. Right now, I got an OnePlus One. I am not quite experienced in this field, so it might be a rookie mistake.

      I am using a notebook with Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster). In order to use the UBports Installer, I installed the stable snap 0.4.18-beta. I started it via: snap run ubports-installer Sadly, I got the error message: Failed to start adb server

      • It might be a permission issue.
      • Or do I have to install some ADB tool?
      • Would it be much simpler to use Ubuntu on a virtual machine?

      Any support would be welcome.

      Greetings.

    • WiFi certification problems

      Hi. I 'm experiencing WiFi problems. My sysadmin told me, I have to do the configuration this way:
      http://wlan.urz.uni-halle.de/handy_smartphone/ubuntu/
      [I 'm NOT trying to use the WiFi of "uni-halle.de".]

      The certificate seems to be valid.
