I use SSH on the local Wifi network, always connecting this USB cable is cumbersome

I use Deltachat for easy file sharing from phone to PC. Because I'm lazy.

@jojumaxx I figured that was the case! I've also edited the topic title, for better searchability.

I am trying to create a Mastodon web app with Webber. URL is simply https://bsky.app/.

Are you sure? That link is to Bluesky, not Mastodon.

@tahirmehmood Did you use the standard browser? If so, try the beta version that is in the Open Store.

Isn't it enough to kick start the UT project for Fairphone 6: https://code.fairphone.com/projects/fairphone-gen-6/build-instructions.html

Someone still has to do the work.

@shengchieh said:

Will UBPorts still work?

You mean the installer? Yes. It was made to work like that. Rooting has never been required to install Ubuntu Touch with the UBports installer.

What happens if I brick the phone?

Bricking means the phone cannot boot anymore and can't be used.

Can a developer modify UBPorts so that the
users see only bootloader needs to be unlocked.

The device page for this device says:

How to install Ubuntu Touch OS

You can install Ubuntu Touch on this device using the UBports Installer on your computer.

Make sure the bootloader of your device is unlocked and that your device has the required version of Android installed.

Do you think that's not clear enough?

You don't need to root your phone before installing Ubuntu Touch... you just need to unlock the bootloader.

@Moem thanks but i do not use telegram.

That is why I said: If you don't use Telegram you can read it in a browser. Have you tried clicking or tapping on the link? You'll be invited to view the channel in Telegram, but there will also be a button that says 'preview channel'.

@Moem swipe up in the "calls" app does nothing. Keeps showing the number buttons to dial a number.

Do you see the little grey button with an arrow, just under the green button that you use to make a call?
Drag that little grey button upwards. That should do it.

You'll see such buttons in more apps on UT. If you see one it's worth checking out what it does.

@Bolly Nothing escapes your eyes, does it.
The item itself is just a small thing (it's nice though, and I have just 20 pieces, so if you like it don't wait too long) but the bigger picture is that I've learned how to add new products to the Shop, which is a good thing for a shopkeeper!

You can expect to see similar surprises appear in the future.

@Kadafi said:

the way to view the made and received phone calls

Open the phone app. Swipe up.

There aren't a lot of manuals, because someone would have to write them and that is a lot of work. But you can find some very good information in this Telegram channel. If you don't use Telegram you can read it in a browser.

@Kadafi You're welcome! I'm glad to hear that it helped.

@Kadafi said:

Also, why can't i install Firefox?

Due to the fact that there is no native version of Firefox for UT... yet.

@Kadafi said:

you mean that i should just re-flash UT

Yes. Directly over the current installed version of UT.
It's really quite safe as long as you make SURE to untick the 'wiper user data' box.

It may or may not help, but if it does, it's an easy solution. Worth a try, I'd say.

@diardaoin said:

it fails to download all files needed. Tried several times.

That's odd, I've not had that problem recently. Good to hear that you managed to work around it.

Enjoy your phone, I like that device a lot!

@Kadafi said:

reformatting like windows style is not a good path.

I politely disagree. On UT, reflashing without wiping your user data can fix many problems.

@developerbayman said:

i need to be clear daily is considered 1.2 correct or am i building the wrong image this whole time?

Daily is 24.04.1.x
There is a 24.04.1.2 stable and a 24.04.1.2 RC.

@danfro said:

The power button itself works. It brings up the power menu, but pressing the buttons failed.

I have that now and then... But no idea what may be causing it.

@pparent said:

I can only say that this version works with current 24.04-1.x daily branch!

Fair enough! That's great!

They are constantly doing updates on the bleeding edge branches, that impact XWayland apps, it's hard to keep updated all the time.

Ah yes, that makes sense, thank you.

@pparent Looks good!

I have a question... I recently tried running SignalUT on UT version 24.04.2.x and it would not run. Is that still the case?

My reason for wanting to run the 'bleeding edge' version is that it gave me great improvements in battery life.

...well AI anyway and on the fly ideally the user shouldnt even know its happening

This would make me dump whatever it was, hard and fast. People should always, always be aware that a process uses AI, so they can make a choice.
