@libremax said in Librem 5 Phone, progress reports:

@matteo Never read about confinement for Librem 5 pureOS version.
I suppose, it's why using apt commands are natively supported.

If so it's great: they can actually install packages like if it were a real linux distro. Let's see if it will really be like that. Thank you for replying though.

Looking at the demos, Purism is claiming to be able to use apt get to install a package. I'm wondering whether they can use that command only in a confined environment similarly as for UT or they can run it straight as it is with their own Terminal.

@joe of course I think it is a "vigilante" against an unfair world...I also think our beloved OS to be the last happy (and small, veeeery small) island in terms of privacy and freedom. The best I love of it is that it's community driven so we decide how to shape it and every contribution in every different field is not only welcome but really matters

@advocatux yes, it is definitely a latin word, italian and spanish share the same root so no wonder

@uri even though this is an old revived thread, only to let you know I'm right now working to provide an app bringing such a capability. I'm facing right now some troubles but I'm along the way to solve all those and maybe soon I'll come out with a concept app. Only for your information, the approach in my app is to exploit the API QNetworkConfigurationManager.

@UBportsNews Wayne, "vigilante" is an italian word it is used to name a security guard who is for instance in charge of watching out nightly for a bank or other activity.
Nice episode as usual by the way!

@marek_python Marek unfortunately you stepped into a known issue in UT: bluetooth doesn't seem to work reliably here for several reasons; you could find a couple of very long threads about this topic on the present Forum, to futher get acknoledged regarding the state of the art. The most important reason why bluetooth is not yet very reliable lies in that its implementation can change from vendor to vendor and chasing every single different equipment vendor is a loo large amount of work for such a small devs community like ours. Nevertheless the Community is aware of this lack of functionality and for sure will try to find a solution at it, whenever other most important priorities to be tackled (such as MIR/Unity 8 implementation) will be successfully implemented.

@advocatux yes this is it. Thank you advocatux :). @ubuntoutou anyway if you wish to use it, consider this is not an official tool advised by UBports but you have to use it carefully, because apt-get command is not supported on UT OS.

@Marathon2422 yes I already checked in Flyme several times and I didn't get such a NVRAM error. That's why I excluded this issue among the possibilities. Thank you for asking by the way.

@ubuntoutou it is possible. I just did it: I have both installed on my phone and they work great when launched with the terminal. I used a software called ATU to install the packages but basically it installs those by apt-get command. I also rebooted my phone after that without any issue. I don't see very useful data among the reported ones with both the commands by the way.
