Finally it is working! Thank you very much for your awesome help guys!

What I did?

• Resetted the whole Ubuntu Touch device to factory defaults
  (probably some Dekko fragments of UT 15.04 have been hanging around)
• Installed a virgin Dekko from OpenStore
• Setup all user profiles one after each other

Finally the wizard also displayed the magic page where one can specify server settings by hand. This page has never appeared before...

Furthermore, I see the message "Your acount has been set up successfully" or something similar after completion - that also did never happen before...

Thanks a lot for your kind help!

Funny fact: The index.html file has exactly 6.53 MB (what would be the same size as Dekko's .click package). Maybe wget just renamed the downloaded file as index.html?

Thanks to @Ingo's knowledge, this is partly true! wget will ignore the response headers, because this is an experimental feature at that time. Therefore wget uses a standard name for the downloaded file, and this one will be a classic index.html.

@dobey said in How to download and install Apps from OpenStore via CLI?:

The --allow-untrusted is required, because by simply downloading a click directly, you are missing the additional metadata, and are not verifying that what was downloaded, is trusted.

Okay, thanks a lot!

So the final (working) command should be:

• wget https://open-store.io/api/v3/apps/dekko2.dekkan/download/xenial/ -O /home/phablet/Downloads/dekko2.dekkan_armhf.click

Afterwards:

• pkcon install-local --allow-untrusted /home/phablet/Downloads/*.click

Hello together,

is there any option to backup user profiles from Dekko 2 in Ubuntu Touch 15.04? Which directory do I have to backup to avoid annoying manually rebuilding of user profiles when reinstalling UBports?

For example, on common Linux-systems you can easily backup the directory /home/user/.thunderbird to store your data. After reinstalling your operating system you just replace the pre-existing directory with your preconfigured directory. Is something like that possible for Dekko 2 as well?

Thanks a lot for your help!

With best regards!
Custello

@DanChapman: Thank you very much for this great app!

@dobey said in How can a webapp run in sandbox when using Morph browser to display its content?:

It does not destroy the profile on exit, no. Why would you want such a behavior?

Just to prevent blowing up the webapp profile too much... As a pure reading app, in my eyes there is no need to store any data on the phone. Neither cookies nor anything else (e.g. accepted privacy confirmations).

Thanks a lot!

@dobey said in How can a webapp run in sandbox when using Morph browser to display its content?:

They are running instead in the "webapp-container" which is provided by Morph Browser, and which is run under confinement (thus sandboxed), with its own profile, in a separate directory from the main browser.

That means, the webapp does not reset its corresponding webapp-container to factory defaults (when closing the app)? Is it possible to force such a behavior?

I am wondering about why many people claim that Webapps can run in a sandbox, even if they use Morph Browser to display their content?

The reason for my question is that I recently have built a webapp for a website with Webapp Creator. When I opened the webapp for the first time, I had to confirm some data privacy hint of the website. When opening the webapp for the second time, this hint did not appear anymore.

Therefore I fear some cookie has been stored on my system, even if the webapp claims to run in a sandbox?

See title...

If so, how is it called?

Which file contains the configuration about which ringtone and message sound I have selected?

Probably a file somewhere in ~/.cache, ~/.config or ~/.local/share?

I want to write a small bash script which can be used to auto-configure all my Ubuntu Touch devices after resets to factory defaults. In this case I want to move the WiFi-passwords onto the devices, so that I do not have to type them in manually via keyboard all the time.

I thought it would be enough to just copy the file /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<wifi-name> from one device to another.

Unfortunately this is not sufficient, something seems to be missing. Do I need more files?

Maybe something like...

looks ok. does it work?

• Let's assume I always want to downoad the newest version of respective .click-packages. Therefore I can not use the URL of a specific version, but have to use the overall URL to the package. Hereby I am not sure if this attempt could work with wget, because the following user prompt appears when opening the URL https://open-store.io/api/v3/apps/dekko2.dekkan/download/xenial/ in browser:

  

  It seems that opening the URL in browser will forward the user to the actual file. I am not sure if wget could handle that request correctly, because the URL does not refer to the file directly. I've tried it in terminal, hereby wget mistakenly downloaded the index.html-file instead of the desired .click-file. Funny fact: The index.html file has exactly 6.53 MB (what would be the same size as Dekko's .click package). Maybe wget just renamed the downloaded file as index.html?

• Do I need to use pkcon install-local --allow-untrusted or would it work without allow-antrusted as well?

I want to write a small bash script which can be used to auto-configure my Ubuntu Touch devices after resets to factory defaults.

Is there any option available to download and install newest versions of desired apps from OpenStore via command line interface (CLI)? For example, how to install Dekko 2 via CLI?

Maybe something like...

• wget https://open-store.io/api/v3/apps/dekko2.dekkan/download/xenial/dekko2_armhf.click
• pkcon install-local --allow-untrusted /Downloads/dekko2_armhf.click

• ~/.cache/dekko2.dekkoproject
• ~/.local/share/dekko2.dekkoproject

Is this attempt of creating backups still valid for Dekko 2 on Ubuntu Touch 16.04 as well?

Or do I need to backup additional folders since using 16.04?
