    • RE: Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.0 call for testing

      @lsitongia

      not sure what you are searching for, if you are under 24.04-2.0 morph is using qt6.
      Try

      which morph-browser
      

      should return /usr/bin/morph-browser

      then

      ldd /usr/bin/morph-browser  | grep -i libqt
      

      should return a bunch of linkings to qt6 libraries.

      Yes the blog post was addressing the limited case of web applications, not the general case of internal apps that the initial post of this thread was referring to.

      you said in the GH issue (sorry for posting it here, I'm too lazy to login to the MS thingy):
      ' For files with unrecognized extensions (which map to ContentType.Unknown) '

      it's possible to add to the file viewer new relationships between extension and contenttype, see this MR

      Don't know if this quite fits your problem, but it never hurts to spread information 🙂

      I think that from your 24.04-1.3 version you still have Morph-QT6 installed as an app from the store. You need to zap it (maybe restart the phone after that)

      @pparent

      I did not succeed.
      Anyway I think now that the qmlscene system executable available in 26.04 is for QT5.

      Your version prints a warning that it is deprecated, the system one don't display it so I guess it's an older version hence for QT5.

      web applications and apps are 2 different things I'd guess.

      For fun I tried to replace in the launcher.sh for the piano app of @pparent the qmlscene6 (provided by the app, qt6 is packaged into the app) by the system one and it failed miserably so at the moment I think that QT6 is not available for apps, at least not in a straightforward way)

      @Luksus

      Well, I'm using 26.04 build 101 with the same hardware and I would have expected to get about the same results but I don't.

      'does not launch (or crashs?), when not already opened and triggert by clicking a link in e.g. an email'

      -> I'm not sure what you mean by that (in fact I am sure I do NOT understand what you meant in your first point...) but clicking a link in a Dekko message works for me.

      'camera video recording gets no access to "device", recording fails'
      -> works for me

      ' local playback of previously recorded videos, teleport videos, etc. do not work'
      -> playing a video from the Files manager works for me

      ' "breaks" in landscape mode
      random gap in indicators
      clock half-hidden by rounded corner
      after rotating back to portrait -> broken there too'
      -> confirmed: clock partially (not 'half', only the last digit out of 4) hidden by rounded corner in landscape mode. The rest works for me (no gaps in indicators in landscape mode, after rotating back to portrait, nothing is broken)

      @pparent

      I don't know if you'll risk it, I can't give you any warranty as it's not tested by me, but you could try to download the config file, edit it to set a bigger value for system_a:

                - fastboot:resize_logical_partition:
                    partition: "system_a"
                    size: 3221225472
      

      and launch the installer with the -f option on the modified file.

      If you need hand holding, you could find more experienced people than me on this forum or on Telegram.

      edit: I forgot to say that you'll probably need to set a value in 4K blocks and multiply it by 4096.

    • RE: UT kernel security question

      @Bolly

      For Ubuntu Touch this bug isn't critical because device is designed for single user and local access is standardly full.
      

      I have looked at this part of the Q/A and the only reply addressing the real issue (confined apps) is not mentioned in the written report. It was done by Marius Gripsgard (amid a lot of verbose disgressions about servers) and basically it was that apps are open source and that apparmor is applying so it's all protected.

      re: open source: it's not true that confined apps can't be closed source.
      the policy states 'Only open source applications allowed for manual review: '. That means that confined apps are not necessarily open source.

      Anyway even with open source apps, it's not a sure thing that first, the source will be looked at and that the review will catch everything - hackers can be crafty and it's pretty much something they must be if they want to be in the business-, and second, that the binary uploaded to the store matches the published source. As far as I know the apps are not compiled by the store.

      re: apparmor: yes it protects some, but I doubt that apparmor is able to stop all kernel vulnerabilites because apparmor is part of the kernel, it's not a supervisor above the kernel.

    • RE: Migration away from US tech platforms

      @libremax

      I don't want to discuss your political arguments as it would be somewhat off-topic for a technical forum.

      However read again what you posted and ponder if the EU can be both independant enough of the USA to not care about their definitely hostile stance to Telegram, and too dependent to care about the subjection of the 'open store' to the US law.

    • RE: Migration away from US tech platforms

      @Jules

      if this covers a hope to get European dough to fund further development, it's a non starter for the following reasons:

      1. UT dev relies on Telegram a platform controlled by a non European state that has not good relations to the EU

      2. the 'open store' is subject to US law

      any EU burocrat reviewing an application will dismiss it immediately.

      Partition size is 3145728 K (786432*4K blocks) and free size is (786432-29884)*4 = 3026192 K

      from system-image.ubports.com, there is this file:

      <tr><td valign="top"><img src="/icons/unknown.gif" alt="[   ]"></td><td><a href="device-cd3ef6bd7fbed7b68e2d908ecf5afd79eb96521cf2e2de285f69f32579121dc8.tar.xz">device-cd3ef6bd7fbed7b68e2d908ecf5afd79eb96521cf2e2de285f69f32579121dc8.tar.xz</a></td><td align="right">2026-06-08 12:00  </td><td align="right">137M</td><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
      

      uncompressing it gives a size of 524712 K for the android container:

      and this file:

      <tr><td valign="top"><img src="/icons/unknown.gif" alt="[   ]"></td><td><a href="rootfs-8821ad0f38b02375bcc3be95785081540b7781a9d2698e997c8a1395f1dd953b.tar.xz">rootfs-8821ad0f38b02375bcc3be95785081540b7781a9d2698e997c8a1395f1dd953b.tar.xz</a></td><td align="right">2026-06-08 04:40  </td><td align="right">504M</td><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
      

      after uncompressing it, it gives a size of 2498052 K

      Total size needed 3022764 K

      I'd say that disk management is probably taking some space (inodes for example) so the margin is probably too thin.

      So it's likely that the system size has grown a bit too much.

      Either try to grow /dev/block/dm-0: if this is a dynamic partition this should be possible (unfortunately I have no quick idea to solve it).

      Another solution if you need 24.04-2 but not the last version could be to try to install a previous version less bulky. Unfortunately I have no quick idea to do that either.

      G'night for now.
