RE: Oh ubuntu, whats happened....
Hosed pendrive recovered, many thanks to PartedMagic. Then struggled to get YUMI Multiboot to install distros. Oh, yeah Windows 11, thanks for your "Folder Protection". Whitelisted YUMI, Ubuntu versions on pendrive, successful Ubuntu 23.10 install on ancient celeron machine, all data recovered, back up and running....

RE: Phone drop call...
@tchan What is it like downloading on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth? What is GPS location like? It could be weak battery.

RE: Oh ubuntu, whats happened....
@TotalSonic I think I will wait for that. I also think my trusty little Ubuntu running UT installer machine is dying.... Just doing some rescue work with parted magic on a pen drive I hosed (thanks windows).

RE: Oh ubuntu, whats happened....
@sven I am trying and failing to install 24.04 LTS (beta). It's the worst beta release for Ubuntu yet. The 'try it' is very slow and clunky. I deliberately hosed my system for this too keep me on my toes (backing all my important stuff up). Not impressed.
I may have to revert back to 23.04 or 22.04... I know they both work and 22.04 is definitely fine.Image of where the hang is....

RE: Update today.....
Updated to r65 today. All went well.
Advice, make sure it is charged up and remove the power or take it off dock when updating.

RE: OnePlus 6 android 11 OxygenOS11.1.2.2
Read this thread.
Before starting ensure the device is charged to over 80%. It uses a lot of power setting up.
Download the rollback build OB25 (OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_054_all_1908302047_fulldowngrade_f019784c78234a67.zip) from the link here
Enable developer options on the device by going into Settings, About Device and tapping build number till it tells you have Developer Options enabled.
Go to Settings, System and Developer Options. Enable USB Debugging.
Connect the device to the PC.
A prompt will appear on the device, so accept it.
Draw down the top of the screen of the device from the left side and you will see a Dialogue box with a cog that states something like Android Actions. Expand that and choose File Transfer.
On the PC copy the downloaded OB25 to the root of the device, i.e. do not put it in a folder.
Once coped over, disconnect the device and go to Settings and System Updates. In the cog at the top right of the screen choose Local Upgrade.
You should see the zip file you have transferred over. Tap on that and start the downgrade. It will ask to reboot at 100%, reboot and let it do it's thing.
Set up Android again, ensure you connect to Wifi and you are in Android 9. Enable Developer Options again and enable OEM Unlocking (this will be greyed out if you aren't connected to Wi-Fi).
Reboot to fastboot mode and Unlock the Bootloader - this involves having the ADB and Fastboot drivers installed on the PC and opening a terminal in the folder that contains them.
Run the command ./fastboot OEM unlock
Follow the instructions on the device, once the bootloader is unlocked, the device will reboot.
Set up Android again. Enable Developer Options again. Enable USB Debugging again.
Start up the Ubuntu Touch installer and connect your device too it. Accept the dialogue box on the device for USB debugging. Follow the instructions on the installer.
Before starting ensure the device is charged to over 80%. It uses a lot of power setting up.
Bugs on this device (the main ones) - battery drain, affects a lot of UT devices, it drains the battery quickly. If the battery is totally drained and you stick it on charge you will get a Qualcomm Crashdump notification. Leave it for about 20 minutes to 30 minutes then leaving it on charge, power up the device and it will reboot to Ubuntu Touch. When Powering off the device, Power off and leave the device for a few minutes. Then press the power button and Volume down button together until it reboots to the bootloader. Using the volume buttons, select power off - this will ensure the device is powered off. It doesn't quite power off properly so will run the battery down.

RE: How important is strong hardware?
I have a few defunct Apple products deemed useless due to outdated software. My Ipad 1 is a great jukebox and I can still go on the internet with it, and no I haven't been hacked!
(I hate Apple's fakery of charging $$$$ for proprietary rubbish that has limited lifespan, is difficult (very difficult) too repair and the green credentials they harp on about - Apple, I hate you).

RE: Issues with two AP's
Ok try this. Set a static IP address of one of the access point to the lowest IP address available on the router and set and set the DHCP to auto.
On the other AP, set the IP to a static IP to the highest IP address available on the router and switch off DHCP.
Makes sure that both access points have the same SSID. Make sure the WPA-PSK key is the same.
If there are roaming settings, set them to high or aggressive.
(I haven't done this for a while so had to research to refresh on this as all the children have at last moved out and I stopped doing it for clients).
Oh, and make sure each access point channels are not the same, overlapping channels usually interfere and cause confusion, I usually set them to 6 and 13.

RE: For newbies please read.....
I misread and thought it said Redmi Note 7 (lavender) which is on the installer. It has slightly different hardware to the Redmi Note 7 pro.... Apologies (full of cold).

RE: Issues with two AP's
@thedeafenguy Look in settings for MAC cloning. Some ISP's back in the day required the MAC address of their provided router to connect to the internet. To circumvent and use your own router, you cloned the ISP routers mac address to your vastly superior router. I had wireless APs from Draytek set up like a "MESH" and I spoofed (or cloned) the routers MAC to each one so the connections didn't drop out on some devices when you moved from one to the other.
Read up and try it if TP-Link firmware allows (good Networking kit but firmware not so good). If it goes wrong you can always reset and start again.

RE: How important is strong hardware?
Wirth's Law explains a lot. A lot of software on devices and PC's seems more interested in tracking your habits to allow ads to be targetted at you. I have noticed this since the start of me using the web. I certainly see all the bloatware on all devices is wholly not neccessary and on PC's I would debloat a lot of this. On My last and still being used Android phone I removed a lot of the bloatware on that, but it still tracks me. On older Ubuntu installs I tended to remove FireFox and replace it with a lighter browser such as Midori (which has been hived out to some crapware producing organisation).
However, I cannot code and am not a developer, like most people have to live with a lot of this stuff and get on with it. I do take great delight at shouting "sex toys" at peoples phones to ensure they get the full experience of tailored adverts to what the phone is listening for (I obviously don't do it to strangers). This surprises a lot as they think the phone is not eavesdropping on them.Sorry, I digress........

RE: Lenovo Tab M10 HD Wifi X306F
@rubencarneiro Thank you. Something to try out later.

RE: Issues with two AP's
@thedeafenguy Can't you spoof the mac address of one of the Deco's to the other so it acts as one MAC address, or don't the Deco's spoof the MAC address of the router? Look at the network end first and the Router and Deco's interface. It shouldn't need the command line.

To save power....
To save your battery and power, if you are not using the tablet put it in flight mode.
Simple solution, but I get 5 days out of mine before a charge. When I use it, switch off flight mode then switch it back on when done.
My tablet hanging over my desk is my main use one and is on the power cable most of the time. Useful for incoming email as it shows them quicker than on my phone and PC.

RE: No ubuntu boot.....
@Rondarius Tried it on my USB 3 only windows machine and a USB 2 Ubuntu machine and it still failed.

RE: Nord N10 5 G
@Pingu I think it will be getting its own section in the forum devices. It and the Oneplus N100 are really nice. I would say the install is not so straightforward as you have to downgrade Android on it and for newbies that could be a bit daunting, but after that it is pretty straightforward.

RE: How important is strong hardware?
@jojumaxx said in How important is strong hardware?:
But these non mainstream phones are my weak point...
They would be for me, but too expensive new and rare to find used. (I am talking about Volla, Fairphone and Pinephone).

RE: Devices Webpage Update
@UBportsNews I will be checking to see if the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 has been updated to show a Focal install.
