@adri99 said in logseq on ubuntu touch:

I would rather put my energy and resources into an open platform

That's a great attitude. Maybe you'll be able to port the app to Ubuntu Touch? I'm sure it would be welcomed!

Let's see. For Telegram, we have a decent native solution called TELEports.
For WhatsApp, WhatsWeb has recently been updated and it's now getting good reviews, so maybe it's time to try again? Alternatively, I hear some folks use a Matrix bridge to use the Matrix app Cinny for WhatsApp.
For PDFs, Document Viewer does the job for me but maybe you prefer Annotate or Sturm Reader.

I hope this is helpful!

Furthermore, the Ubuntu Touch package manager doesn't seem to work like a normal Linux distribution in the terminal.

Well, yeah, it's not another Linux distro. Please don't try to use apt, you'll probably break something.

Three niggles remain: You loose end-to-end encryption

Yes, that's a fair point. For that reason alone, a direct method would be preferrable.

@O.o. said in Taking the plunge:

You'd think the Signal Foundation would offer a version of Signal for Linux phones

They don't seem to be interested. But also, there is no universal packaging format for all Linux phones. Ubuntu Touch uses click and I think we are the only ones.

The Cinny option works rather well I must say. Two niggles remain:

• Notifications do not contain the text of the message.
• If I send an image, the recipient has to download it in order to see it.

I can live with that for now. But who knows what the future may hold. See for exmple this topic or this one.

@O.o. said in Taking the plunge:

one of the apps I really, REALLY need is Signal,

You and me both! This is how I tackled that problem.

@O.o. Thankd for the write-up and congratulations on a sucessful installation!
I would recommend you to install the app UT Tweak Tool. Among other useful stuff, it also contains a text scaling setting. Just 'large' and 'normal', but it sounds like that will do the job here.

@bunt7 said in Cant install Whatsapp or Signal on Waydroid:

Fdroid is a Appstore for Android. Can I install it on ubuntu touch?

Yes, inside a Waydroid container.

@bunt7 said in Cant install Whatsapp or Signal on Waydroid:

When I tryed to install Signal it says
"App not installed as app isn`t compatible with your phone"

Have you tried getting the apk directly from Signal?
And of course, it needs to be downloaded and installed from inside Waydroid.

@pparent In the real world, I'd be happy about any native Signal app for UT, be it secondary, primary or both.

@pparent I know. Every month or so, it apparently needs to be opened in order to stay active. Or so it tells me.
But even so, I'd prefer not to need Waydroid at all and Signal is the only thing I use it for.

@pparent said in Signal-CLI on Ubuntu touch?:

What is the advantage to run it as a primary device?

To me: being able to dump Waydroid.

@pparent said in Signal-CLI on Ubuntu touch?:

we could simply adapt Signal-Desktop interface for mobile screen, and it could offer a nice solution for Signal on UT.

Sure, but that's only a secondary device, so we'd still need a primary...

@Opolork said in Where can i highlight spelling errors on app pages on the OpenStore website?:

What's an 'MR'?

Merge request. It means you can propose a change, in this case to the spelling.

@ds2k5 said in SIGNAL / MESSAGERIE SIGNAL:

how is the name of the App for UT ?
Did it work with brigde or native ?

Please see this topic: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/10819/how-i-m-now-using-signal-on-ut

This one is too old and is now locked.

@ma said in Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0:

After restarting, the phone gets stuck on the startup screen (Android logo).

How long did you wait? First boot after upgrading can take considerable time.

@messayisto Thank you, it was fun! We were a decent sized group and there was plenty to talk about. I saw lots of animated conversations occur and lots of good questions and answers. It was a lovely little event and I'm glad that I helped facilitate it. And our thanks go out to our friends at Bitlair, who hosted us for no cost at all!
We left them some nice cookies. It was the least we could do.

@bestenaizena said in Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-10:

I want to upgrade to 24.04

Then you're in the wrong topic. This one is about 20.04 OTA-10.

Anyway, I would recommend waiting until 24.04 is out to update. It will be announced on the forums when it is.

@Opolork Dual booting is not supported. So if you do need Android, and Waydroid can't fill that gap for you, then yes... having an (old) Android phone somewhere might be the easiest way out.

Hurray hurray, our meetup is today!
