Did you find any good alternatives? I've installed uWolf and Chromium for UT which are sick but are unfeasible because they run on X11, causing higher CPU/energy usage and no ability to copy/paste (do it all the time for BitWarden passwords and the like)...
@Simmonz said in uWolf (LibreWolf):
copy
Clipboard (copy/paste) currently does not work for me on 24.04-1.1 stable outside of the app: if I go on the BitWarden extension and copy a password, I can still paste it in the search bar for instance. Unfortunately I have tested the 2 BitWarden apps available on the Open Store (it may be different if you are not running Noble) and they aren't working, so I'm looking for alternatives (trying to avoid more complex setups like running full-on Firefox in Libertine or installing snaps). Perhaps there is some offline password manager out there which can successfully connect to BitWarden or whatever is available as a Firefox extension (to maintain cross-platform compatibility).
I'll update this post if I find anything useful.
@kugiigi Yes, I've noticed that too reading around forums. This is why I'm looking into open source+hardware solutions like Modos (https://www.crowdsupply.com/modos-tech/modos-paper-monitor) and others, although most don't support touch yet.
Honestly, considering you're getting a 75Hz refresh rate monitor that's actually e-ink in 2025, the prices don't look that bad, although do correct me if I'm wrong.
There are even ways to add touchscreen support to any monitor, but that's a whole different story, and won't be worth getting into until UT develops touch monitor support.
@kugiigi I see, so convergence at the moment is mainly intended with mouse and keyboard. Any suggestions for portable monitors / external displays that have happened to work quite well with UT? I know e-ink is getting very popular these days, with video-ready refresh rates and color and it's definitely exciting, but I'm unsure how feasible they are at the moment.
To say the least, the situation is getting rather interesting, eg. https://spectrum.ieee.org/e-paper-display-modos.
@CatWithUT Were you ever able to figure out a way? I'm very much used to Termux where I simply press a modifier button and then the other key, as if I had sticky keys enabled on a hardware keyboard...
Never mind, it seemed to have been a temporary issue thankfully, hopefully it won't bother anyone!
The experience I had it and a possible 'solution' (if that's a reasonable term for it) can be found here: https://forums.ubports.com/post/91229
Hopefully this way it is easy to get a variety of images such as stable or daily rather than just the devel channel on GitLab.
@ikoz Oh yeah, I was able to find something which looks like what I'm searching for by navigating through the JSON: https://system-image.ubports.com/ -> https://system-image.ubports.com/channels.json -> https://system-image.ubports.com/24.04-1.x/arm64/android9plus/stable/FP5/index.json
Not really sure which files to flash, whether they need to be unzipped, and in what order (which I need to formulate the exact procedure/commands), but it's definitely a good start in understanding how it all works under the hood.
Even if it's still rather mysterious for me at the moment, I'll keep the ubports-installer source code at hand and may search it with this extra knowledge, so may the source be with us 
@gpatel-fr I am glad to say the SIM started working again: I rebooted without the SIM, and then with it again. I also recall the SIM was working the second time I booted UT for the first time ever on the phone (the first time I booted I'd forgotten to insert it). Hopefully it was just a temporary glitch and Fairphone 5 users running 24.04 stable are 'SIM-safe'.
@gpatel-fr I see, I just did a fresh install (haven't installed any apps), is there something I should try for fixing DNS before I reflash the phone with daily instead of stable release?
@pparent I'm also having problems with internet connection, but I'm on mobile data on Fairphone 5. I was actually able to connect to http://95.216.1.254, although it did take quite a while to load. Any other site gives "Error: net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED. funny how I seem to be having the opposite behaviour of the either phone or internet problem described above: my query to ecosia.org actually loaded the instant I received an SMS message from Vodafone for password reset - before and after then nothing! 
@Ida_ said in Working VoLTE reports, share your experience:
Fairphone
I just installed 24.04 stable on Fairphone 5, and although calls worked, mobile data hasn't been. I'll keep you updated if I find any solutions: I'm in the UK with Vodafone as a provider.
@ikoz Hi there, how did you 'convert' the step that says systemimage:install into pure fastboot/adb commands? I'm having a similar issue with FP5.
I have also looked for files needed for the systemimage install process, and boot.img and vendor_boot.img are easy enough to find (https://cdimage.ubports.com/devices/FP5/), but other things that must be flashed for a fully working OS are less easy to figure out...
@Charly I see, could this be a device-specific issue? It seems to have been done before here for example: https://xdaforums.com/t/tutorial-howto-convert-your-external-sd-card-from-fat-exfat-to-ext4-3-ways.2480963/
Or did you mean Ubuntu Touch specifically is unable to deal with ext4-formatted SDs?
@amazones Were you able to install any emacs packages? I really want to do PDF, HTML and audio annotation (bookmarks/highlights and comments) with emacs, but I would want it to work universally (not just on my desktop, but on my phone as well).
Something else I would like to try is this: https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/kiwix.html
@kugiigi Maybe this should work reliably: https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/advanceduse/screencasting.html
You'd need to make everything tiny on the phone, putting it into a sort of 'desktop mode' (similar to what I was saying before). That way you would be able to make full use of the large screen.
@kugiigi Good point, even having a single external display already creates a 'multiple display setup' doesn't it? I wonder if temporarily disabling the main internal one would help make the larger external one function correctly. Sure, it's not ideal, but usability first!
@Charly Hmm that sounds like a good question for Ubports Core, SD cards still remain immensely helpful for storage - let us know if you happen to find out more about it!
I also got some suggestions from the main Telegram group, here is a summary:
(in the case of a broken Ubuntu Touch installation)
This is ideal for my use case as I will actually be setting up software mainly on Libertine, Waydroid and Pocket VMs, which are containerised anyway, while the 'host' OS is for day-to-day essentials such as calling and reading documents.
I am sure taking snapshots/backups of containers is a lot more straightforward than the entire OS (which can be reinstalled to a guaranteed working state anyway): I haven't tried it yet, but with similar tools (Waydroid on Raspberry Pi OS and VirtualBox on MacOS), it was simply a means of copying the files somewhere else and moving them back when needed, so I'm sure it won't be any harder.
I will write again here if I find a way of performing incremental snapshots (a great storage space saver), or for any other useful information on this topic
What do Ubuntu Touch users choose if they want a simple and reliable way to backup and restore their phone, preserving the exact state of the OS so that they can 'roll back' if necessary (eg. bricked phone)?
I haven't really seen a satisfying post about this, so I thought I might as well start the conversation: I'm happy to experiment with different tools and report my findings here as this is a very important feature to me.
