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.

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!
