I gave a link to ebay for an used but original LCD display, if you didn't see 😊

@kugiigi Yeah, the dock works on Manjaro phosh for both usb mouse/keyboard and external display, so I know it's not the dock.

I messed around with mounting the root filesystem as writable for a bit and apt installing a few things, as initially I was not able to get libertine to work, so I'm going to try flashing a fresh dev image and see if that helps at all.

I set up a Libertine container, and installed gcc-multilib and rust with in and as expected everything ran and compiled within my ~/Documents folder

Interestingly, within the container the build of the 'hello world' program takes 3x longer than with gcc-multilib hacked onto the system:

@dobey you were correct, the location call was just being ignored. Adding the necessary lines enabled access for the webapp. Thanks for the direction.

I copied this from the Morph browser code:

onFeaturePermissionRequested: { switch(feature) { case WebEngineView.Geolocation: grantFeaturePermission(securityOrigin, feature, true); break; } }

there is of course cases for other feature requests in the code I copied, and this just grants permission passing responsibility for approving the call to the OS. This does work around the issue where Morph asks permission each and everytime location is called, without the trouble of approving different sites as there is only one.

@advocatux said in What formats are supported for video?:

@Giiba have you tried to play videos with UTMedia (https://open-store.io/app/utmedia.nfsprodriver)?

There are some issues with the default media player on Nexus 5 but UTMedia works for me.

@advocatux This solution works for me too. (Playing regular videos with H264 - MPEG-4 AVC codec). I run Ubuntu Touch on RC on Nexus 5.

Back at it.

After pondering the aforementioned issue and the work-around, I stopped trying to understand that which I don't, and did what I know.

I just made the appropriate folder in system-data, copied the existing libs there and added the libGLESv2S3D_adreno.so

mkdir /userdata/system-data/vendor/lib cp -a /vendor/lib/egl/. /userdata/system-data/vendor/lib/egl

Then added to fstab:

/userdata/system-data//vendor/lib/egl /vendor/lib/egl none bind 0 0

then

mount -a

And the error disappears from logs... no idea if it makes a difference yet.

Disregard, I found a solution.

In /usr/share/unity8/Shell.qml ln:468
width: parent.width > units.gu(60) ? units.gu(40) : parent.width

increasing '60' to '70' did the trick

The linked demo looks cool. Just one request to whoever is going to prepare similar videos: Please, do not open a CLI in a UX demo! (Or more generally, when targetting non-developer audience.).
