@dln949 Good to see this issue is one that is close to your heart. Are you able and / or willing to dive into the issue from a source code, or from a debugging point of view to help this issue forward?

It worked today, I was able to update my phone with the command.

@dln949 The libertine settings app is somewhat fragile at the moment. (Improvement suggestions and PR's are welcomed.) ... an application like mousepad appeared to be installed, but I cannot find the icon for it in the "app drawer". After installing an application in a Libertine container, it is sometimes necessary to refresh the app drawer to see the new icons. You can do this by swiping down in the opened app drawer. if I tap on the plus sign and select "Choose Debian package to install", I get this message: "No Debian packages available". This is the expected behavior. That option is for installing downloaded deb packages. It displays any .deb files that are present in the Downloads folder. If you know the exact name of the package you want to install, you can use the second button. I almost exclusively use the third button to search the repositories for the package I am looking for. But be careful, one stray tap will have you installing an unintended app. And the best course of action is to let the install run its course, before deleting the package and trying again.

@lduboeuf Pixel 3a. I don't know what to say: After a number of restarts done out of frustration, now it worked. I have a theory, but I wan't careful enough to watch what I was doing so I can't say this is a for sure thing: I THINK it worked when I turned off the VPN on the device.

@dln949 Yeah, it's hard to follow every musk fantasy...

@dln949 Unfortunately, there are only a few that actually implements proper notification. Only TELEports, Fluffychat, Telegram webapp that explicitly says it does supports it,and Dekko are the ones that I know. Web notifications are not yet supported so most webapps won't even have notifications even if you let them open. Pesbuk has some sort of hackish notification support if you don't let it suspend but not sure if it still works

@kristatos said in Why won't browsers on ubuntu touch 20.04 play videos from vimeo?: If I remember right, it's a know bug for 20.04 OTA-1 devices that video playback isn't working correct (even for youtube) Im using the FP4 with 20.04 devel and yewtu.be doesnt work, which leads me to beleive that codex are still a problem on current ubuntu touch 20.04 images.

You have to manually switch via the installer or from the settings. Wiping isn't required but just like the usual big updates/upgrades in any system, it is ideal to start from fresh to avoid random strange issues.

I'm not 100% sure but if it means just like how normal stable releases are then it means that the update will be offered to devices randoml starting from the day of release until usually within a week. This is done so not all devices will get the device at once and there will be a chance to stop the release and mitigate issues in case there's critical regression found in the update. In focal's case, I would assume this will only affect devices that are already in focal since switching has to be manually done for now. Honestly, thinking about it, this might be a statement standard in every OTA blog that maybe shouldn't be included in this particular one since it's the first stable release for focal so no one's really in that channel yet

I don't think there's a proper option to do that. Perhaps you can log a feature request for that though. Either hiding top sites and/or totally disabling it.

@dln949 I have enabled sudo mount / umount without password (visudo) then created my.desktop file in .local/share/applications : [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Terminal=false Exec=aa-exec /home/phablet/aa_myfiles/myscripts/samba.sh Icon=/home/phablet/.local/share/icons/smb.png Name=Samba X-Ubuntu-Touch=true X-Ubuntu-Default-Department-ID=accessories my simple script : #!/bin/bash if grep -qs '/phablet/SAMBA ' /proc/mounts ; then sudo umount /home/phablet/SAMBA ; else sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.your.ip/remote-path -o guest,nosetuids,noperm,rw /home/phablet/SAMBA fi exit one tap for mount or umount (if already mounted) on my Redmi Note 4X it works fine. First try mount from command line.

Hi @dln949 You can use the application UT Tweak Tool in the open-store With it you can clean the cache directory as well as deleting configuration files before uninstalling an app. An alternative option is to locate the app folder and delete it but for most users (and use cases) it is best to use UTTT.

@applee You can do this if you activate computer mode. But not very convinient as you need to minimize each app.

The instructions you are referring to are aiming to backup all data needed to restore system to previous condition (excluding operating system itself, I believe). It looks like it worked for some people, not for me, though. But it helped me to make backup of all data my own way, including system settings (now my Fairphone even presents itself as "BQ Aquarius 4.5", when connected via BT ). Back to the instruction. system-data and user-data are visible in /data only when your device is booted in recovery mode. When system is booted normally they are accessible via different location. That is: Connect your device to PC Run adb devices (output should list your device as recognized) Run adb reboot recovery Now you should be able to do adb shell and listing of /data should show these folders. At this point your adb pull of both should be fine.

I was able to get an always-on-vpn using crontab. Warning I haven't tried to find a way yet to turn it off, so if you need to turn off your VPN from time to time, I don't have an answer yet. *Make sure to make your terminal Read/Write during this whole process. It's Read-Only by default. I used the UT Tweak Tool to do this. I used this script (https://www.gabsoftware.com/tips/automatically-reconnect-to-your-vpn-on-linux/) as a template to automatically reconnect to my VPN when it turned off. I used this terminal command with my VPN turned on, nmcli c show --active | grep vpn, to find out my personal MyVPNConnectionName and my UUID number. I also replaced sleep 30 with sleep 5, but that's just a personal preference. After replacing MyVPNConnectionName and the UUID number in the script with your personal VPNName and UUID number, I recommend copy/paste the script into the terminal and let it run, toggle off your VPN and see if it toggles back on automatically. If it does not toggle back, then you'll have to go back and correct the script, whatever that correction may be. Personally, it didn't work for me the first time, because I had deleted the "" around "MyVPNConnectionName" and had to go back and re-add them. I then used this website (https://linuxhandbook.com/run-shell-script/) to save the script. This website says to make a scripts directory (mkdir scripts) which I did not do. Making a scripts directory probably won't have any affect on this, but I can't say for sure, because I didn't do it. If you do make a scripts directory, cd into scripts or whatever you named your scripts directory. For this example I'll refer to the directory as scripts. When you type cat > vpn.sh (I'm using vpn.sh, you can name it anything you want as long as it ends in .sh) into the terminal, the terminal will look like it's "thinking" but this is where you copy/paste your working script into the terminal. After I hit Ctrl+D to save it, my terminal closed, but it did save. When you reopen the terminal, make sure it's Read-Write if you didn't use the UT Tweak Tool. Then make the script executable in the terminal by typing in chmod u+x vpn.sh (make sure you cd into the scripts directory if you made one) I then typed chmod 755 vpn.sh (I don't know if this did anything at all, but I did it, this may not be necessary) Test the script (if you made a scripts directory cd into scripts) type bash vpn.sh into the terminal to activate the script and toggle off the VPN to see if it turns back on automatically. Hit Ctrl+C to clear the script. To make this script turn on automatically all the time, type crontab -e into the terminal. Pick 1 nano <---- easiest and hit enter. If you've never used nano don't use your fingers to scroll down. Long-press the hamburger menu at the top left side of the keyboard and pick Scr. Swipe left on the top of the keyboard next to hamburger menu till you get to the scroll buttons and use those to scroll down to the bottom of the crontab directly below the last #. There type in @reboot /home/phablet/./vpn.sh if you made a scripts directory, type in @reoot /home/phablet/scripts/./vpn.sh Long-press the hamburger menu again and choose Nano. Then find Ctrl+X and press it. Then hit y then enter. Then hit enter again, and it should take you back to the normal terminal. Reboot your phone After reboot, before I unlock my phone, I get a VPN error notification. After I unlock my phone with the passcode this notification goes and my VPN turns on automatically. Even when I relock my phone, the automatic VPN continues to work just fine. Remember, as of right now, I cannot turn off my VPN, I haven't tried to find a way either.

Hi! Is there anything happening to fix this? I read somewhere the necessary modules are included in dev, but I still can't install Anbox on my m10 HD...

A few answers anbox is very experimental still so personally I would expect more than 50% of all apps to not work (anything that uses Google services like the maps api will not work); and probably less than 10% of apps to work without major issues (for me, of around 12 apps I tried only spotify works without me noticing problems) as far as I know there is no icon for anbox (it's just software that runs in the background) I guess these are system apps (on a normal android they are not listed by default in the settings apps) after you enabled anbox with anbox-tool it is supposed to start automatically on boot, but if I remember correctly I also had situations were some commands didn't work; only after starting an android app those were possible so I guess there is still some difference between something like "ready" and "running" or so (or maybe it's just a bug due to the experimental nature of anbox on UT) Android apps rely on a back button, so running android apps on a system that doesn't have those just can't be operated fully; there may or not be workarounds like stopping the app and starting it again

@dln949 As far as I know, Anbox for the time being only gets network connectivity interaction with the Linux system, no notifications, GPS, audio, or any other interaction with the phone components. Native applications do get notifications, and webapps should get them if they get notifications in the desktop, but for that you should use UT Tweak Tool to get the webapp to run in the background and you should not close it. In any case I don't think one can rely on those notifications from webapps, if they work at all.
