@pparent Good addition! I had no idea Molly could be used as a secondary client, I've only ever used it as a primary client. Thanks for mentioning it.

@RJDan said in Show of interest: Bug bounty fund raising:

we could pay the app developer to fix bugs in their app or add features.

Our app developers are volunteers. What if they don't have time or simply don't want to do it?

@Charly It happens, we're all human!

Is this just the release canidate?

That post is from 2019. That was OTA-10 on Xenial, not Focal.

My user was actually banned. But looks like an admin un-banned it.

Oh, sorry! I didn't know.

@johndoe said in Welcome to the UBports community! Introduce yourself here!:

If @k.nacke got banned because of his username

That user is not banned.

@dafeihong said in unknown filesystem type 'overlay'.:

I want to run Metasploit, Nmap, and GCC on my phone

If you are on Telegram, check out the Break Your UT group... it's full of people who like wild experiments just like that!
https://t.me/breakyourut

Apart from that... yeah, it's a phone, not a PC in your pocket. Ubuntu Touch is a different thing from Ubuntu the PC or laptop OS.

@dafeihong said in unknown filesystem type 'overlay'.:

What about "apt install vim" and "apt install build-essential"?

Those clearly include apt, so... I wouldn't. Have you looked into Libertine?

@dafeihong said in unknown filesystem type 'overlay'.:

Then I ran apt update && apt upgrade.

Well, oops. Apt is not really supported on Ubuntu Touch. You may need to reflash.

@cherrie Unfortunately, only someone who has tried these specific apps can tell you whether Waydroid contains 'enough Google' to run those apps succesfully.

@k.eleni said in port for Galaxy S23 Ultra or at least S21 Ultra:

Do you know if at least a newer Pixel is in the pipeline like the Pixel 8 or, even better, the Pixel 9 Pro ?

I believe someone is currently working on the Pixel 7 Pro.

Keep in mind that newer phones are more expensive. Not many of our porters are willing and able to buy an expensive phone and then risk bricking it.

@AetheralMeowstic Welcome, I hope you'll find what you are looking for here!

That would certainly have great value to UT!
Personally I use Cinny and a Matrix bridge, but that's a rather indirect solution and I still need to run Signal in Waydroid every now and then. If Signal-CLI could take over that job, that would mean a lot!

@johndoe said in Trying out UT on Pixel 3a XL for review article:

Despite me using and liking UT, I personally do not recommend it as a daily driver for others right now.

This is highly personal. I've been using it exclusively for four years, so it can be done, but it certainly depends on the individual's wants and usercase.

On September 27 at 14:30, Bitlair, the hackerspace in the Dutch city of Amersfoort, will open its doors to members of the UBports community and all those who are interested or curious. This will be an informal meet & greet with plenty of opportunity to see and try devices running Ubuntu Touch, talk to (other) users, ask questions and just hang out.

All are welcome from 14:30 until dinner time; if enough of us are interested, we may hang around and order food. The address is:
Nijverheidsweg-Noord 77
3812 PK Amersfoort

Free parking is available on the street.

Welcome!

@Winnie625 said in ubports and wereables question (smart watches):

Has anyone here tested a Suunto device on Ubuntu? Would be cool to know how well it syncs.

We can safely assume it won't sync at all since there is no matching companion app for Ubuntu Touch.

@rdfrs said in Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 Beta 1 is now available for testing:

how do I get from the stable to cc channel?

To change your update channel, go to the Updates page and tap the cog wheel at the right hand top to go to the update settings.

Not sure if it's a coincidence but battery life seems really to have taken a hit on this RC! I'm on Oneplus 5t.

@RJDan No such thing (yet) as far as I know.
