Bluetooth on Focal a UT problem. I had this with a Pioneer digital radio. A developer told me to re-pair it several times. The theater was too weird for me which is why I uninstalled. What you can try is to delete the headphones once and pair them again. Calls were established but there was no sound and the described lost Bluetooth signal.

@TheBird Yes, it did update.

@kugiigi
correct, the pin entry does not need any confirmation after enough digits are entered. So once the screen is on any random touches on the numpad will lead to a string of login attempts.

@lduboeuf
I have both the greeter and the launcher disabled. it's possible that I failed to enter the pin on the full keyboard as I was a bit rushed. 🤷

In any case, given that the bootloader needs to stay unlocked and UT not does support encrypting the home partition(?), I don't think the possible limit bypass by pulling the battery is a large security issue, but it was also not the expected behaviour 👋

@gandalf said in backups?:

Hi all

Simple question spoilered by the title: What's the current state for backups on Focal? Are there any backup utilities available, and if not, what parts need to be backed up besides the obvious docs/pictures/etc folders?

cheers

@fredldotme is working on it 🙂

If i'm not wrong, the WIP for that kind of issue is here: https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/click/-/merge_requests/31

@arubislander

Thanks for the clarification 👍

@gandalf Best action for now is to log a feature request in the repo 👍

I think QR reading also needa to imrpove in UT. Apps that has it don't read QR codes that well. There's a built in QR code reader in focal though so maybe it'll improve. Apps can also maybe use it to scan codes instead of implementing within the app.

@mateo_salta
👍 Thanks. Too late for me as I finished a clean install already, but this might help others 🙂

@kugiigi
I think it's the same issue as this old bug report:
https://gitlab.com/myii/ut-tweak-tool/-/issues/32 instead of copying an old value over this time the default for the device changed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@arubislander
unfortunate, but no surprise there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I installed UT20.04 on my Fairphone 4 (which is waiting for waydroid for me to make the switch) and that works for music. Even BT multipoint works between the Momentum 4, FP4, and an ubuntu laptop 🎉. not sure yet about calls on any of them.

@muskist
No, it clearly identifies the headphones as "MOMENTUM 4" and claims to be connected, but without signal strength

@RedXXIII
I don't have any other bluetooth devices to test this with, but at least I can confirm music working on a FP4/UT20.04.

@luksus I do like auto brightness 😁 the bug is not always present. When its the case I fight with the device to switch off the screen 😅

I nearly forgot that I posted this already as I didn't use the hotspot recently... @Luksus @kugiigi Thanks for both hints to restart Unity through the UTT and flight mode. It looks like my observation about the restart of Unity was a bit backwards. Restarting Unity enables the hotspot indicator, but turns off the hotspot immediately oO In any case I can now disable the hotspot and get the wifi back.

@domubpkm can confirm the micro shenanigans. After a successful call the mic won't work in waydroid/whatsapp until I reboot. luckily I don't do that many calls either way
For the camera disabling and enabling the permission worked for me so far in all instances of that happening.

@arubislander Correct.

@gandalf Think this has come up before but will check and pass it on.
