@CiberSheep I believe it's a known issue for a while:

@libremax I end up wondering if AI isn't interfering with spam !

I don't know, but in any case, without moderation, the situation keeps getting worse to the point that I'm going to stop visiting the forum for a while.
Fortunately, on the UBports Telegram channels, such behavior isn't possible because it's immediately addressed.

@oldbutndy said:

I apologize.

No need to

I replied yesterday to a post that might have had negative reputation (I don't remember), because I did not think about trolls.

Unfortunately you were no the only one and it keeps going on today.

That's why I post this topic.
To try to mitigate this kind of "spam/troll" by warning about negative reputation.

@gpatel-fr Yes, it's a standard advice but we do not respect it in the last months and mostly because people seems not to detect "troll".
It's why I suggested a method quick and easy to detect and counter it adapted to our forum functionality around reputation scores.

@kugiigi Not precisely, it's a Mobian fork.

For several months now, we have observed this method in action, which primarily involves:

1. A single user regularly creating new threads, often with AI-generated content, using intriguing or provocative titles, all with the same subject or goal: to question the features of UT (Lomiri, Mir, Halium, etc.) and promote alternative projects (PostmarketOS, Mobian, mainline kernel, upstream development, etc.).
2. Replying to topics opened by other users that are completely unrelated by including a link to these propaganda topics.
3. Replying to one’s own posts to keep the propaganda at the top of the list.

Unfortunately, this deviant behavior is currently slipping past moderation (https://forums.ubports.com/topic/12116/moderation-issue-with-this-forum) .

Until forum moderation adapts to this type of behavior, the solution is:

1. Never reply to these topics or messages so as not to give them visibility
2. Report these topics and replies as problematic to moderation in the hope that they will address the issue

A tip for staying vigilant about these problematic topics and messages
If a topic, reply, or user has a negative (or even very negative) reputation, you should be wary and avoid replying until you’ve made sure it isn’t part of this type of spamming method (or an other type).

The roadmap (ubports DOT com/lomiri-roadmap) covers Lomiri's packaging journey into Debian —
historical milestones since 2020 and two vague estimates for Lomiri on Debian desktop.
There is no roadmap for Ubuntu Touch itself. No page that says "here is where the OS
stands, here is what we are working toward." It does not exist.

Of course it exists: there are two tabs on this page, https://ubports.com/lomiri-roadmap one tab for Debian and one tab for Ubuntu Touch.
And so it easy to find this content about Ubuntu Touch in the coming months:

Q1 2026
(estimated)
Morph Browser upgrade
The Qt6 upgrade gets kicked off by upgrading the QtWebEngine in Ubuntu Touch, getting the Morph Browser up-to-date and compatible with modern web standards.

Q2 2026
(estimated)
Full Qt6 Migration
The internal codebase catches up to Debian upstream, finally modernizing Ubuntu Touch and getting ever closer to total convergence.

Q2 2026
(estimated)
Upgrading to Mir 2.x
Internally, Lomiri on Ubuntu Touch still runs on an older version of Mir. This upgrade finally allows for Mir's new optimizations to be possible on Ubuntu Touch and gets the codebase ready to become one with Debian.

Dear Moderators,

It appears that this forum has a flaw in the way it is moderated, and that this flaw is being exploited lastely.

Indeed, it is generally not allowed in a forum for a single individual to be able to in a few months to started ten or so threads on the same topic (with different titles).

Moreover, when this approach is intended to ensure that their negative views on the Ubuntu Touch project remain prominently displayed (and naively discussed) at the top of the forum to maximize visibility.

By trying too hard to be accommodating and open to discussion, we end up enabling and encouraging this abusive behavior.

I hope moderation can be improved to curb this problem.
(In the meantime, everyone can help by staying alert and following these guidelines:

Hello,
There is a roadmap about Lomiri (one for Ubuntu Touch and one for Debian) here: https://ubports.com/lomiri-roadmap

You can also get news in the blog section : https://ubports.com/blog

I apologies- got it working!
...
I have now Ubuntu 20.04 on it. Impressed, that I got it working, but it was not trivial.

I think it would be fair to change the title of this topic.

You mean VoLTE, I suppose ?
(because if VoLTE is VoIP, not all VoIP systems are VoLTE)

@wqyeo

There is a telegram group dedicated to quality assurance:

Hope it may be useful for you

I can't see the difficulty. Instructions for clickable installation are the same for 8.7 version:

(just use pipx command instead of pip3, as proposed also in the book)
