    • RE: [SOLVED] PiVPN with PiHole home server. UT client configuration [step-by-step]

      @Capsia yes for me it seems to work now! I checked the config according to your advice and the fields where different, secrets was empty. I also added the port according to @thilov and entered directly myurl.com:1194

      Then I forced the config and secret with your commands and now it works! Many thanks!

      (I also used the same folder, you used in your post but I don't know if this has any influence, just made it easier for me to check the fields and make the new input.)

    • Remove google captcha from registration

      As I want to come back to UT after using Android custom roms for a while, I tried to register at this forum without success. Finally it was only possible by allowing the access to google servers and use the captcha. Please remove google from this website. Many people are using UT just because they do not want to use google services.

    • RE: how easy it is to switch from ububtu touch to lineage or vice versa?

      Volla Phone 22 has dual boot now again. I have the Android version and it comes with Volla OS. Volla OS is based on AOSP with some components from Lineage OS and specific components from Volla. I have Ubuntu Touch installed on the external MicroSD card as dual boot. UT runs quite fast from my SD card, I can use it as my daily driver. In some cases I boot Android, but most of the time I use UT. It is much faster than my Pinephone with mobian.

    • RE: Save and restore Dekko 2 configuration

      Thanks for the hints! Yes this worked for me.

      After configuring all my email accounts I created a backup folder on the external SD card and went to this folder and created the backup files:

      tar -czf cache.tar /home/phablet/.cache/dekko2.dekkoproject/
      tar -czf config.tar /home/phablet/.config/dekko2.dekkoproject/
      tar -czf local.tar /home/phablet/.local/share/dekko2.dekkoproject/
      

      I copied these files to the backup folder on the external SD card of the new device, navigated to it and restored the configuration:

      tar -xzf cache.tar -C /
      tar -xzf config.tar -C / 
      tar -xzf local.tar -C /
      

      And dekko 2 is working with the restored configuration!
      (just copying the folders did not work, because I got an error message)

    • RE: Remove google captcha from registration

      I agree it is not easy to escape totally from google, amazon and microsoft, but it is easy to make a registration form without google captcha ...

    • RE: [SOLVED] PiVPN with PiHole home server. UT client configuration [step-by-step]

      I have the same problem. I have raspian on the pi, pihole and pivpn installed and created a ovpn file. Then I split the information of the ovpn file according to an explanation https://www.ubports.com/blog/ubports-blogs-news-1/post/using-vpn-in-ubuntu-touch-3065 but I can't connect to my pivpn.

      So now I am waiting for the support of ovpn files ...

      For somebody familiar with scripts, I think it would not be so difficult to write a script for the procedure written in the mentioned tutorial.

      ... Saw the service appear; activating connection ...
      ... <error> ... vpn-connection ... Failed to request VPN secrets #3: No agents were available for this request.

    • RE: [SOLVED] PiVPN with PiHole home server. UT client configuration [step-by-step]

      @Capsia yes this command works, I can enter the password and at the end it confirms "Initialization Sequence Completed". On the pivpn I see the connected device. But opening Morph Browser the traffic is not routed via the pihole. So I suppose, that I make something wrong with the "Manual Configuration" or the four files.

      It is a little bit confusing, that the configuration never remembers the settings: "key-direction 1" and "cipher AES-256-CBC" when I edit the connection.

    • RE: Morph Browser can't pan nor zoom on maps based on OpenStreetMap

      On http://www.openstreetmap.org/ you can double tap on the map and it makes some kind of "zoom in" and center. Then you can zoom out again with the button and by repeating this procedure slowly reach your target. This is far away from good usability but at least a way to use the map if really needed.
