@Shannon64 Were you talking to me? The user i was supporting was able to resolve the issue with my above suggestion, so if you have the exact same issue and you also came from an operating system other than cyanogenmod 12, i recommend you try what i described.

Hey everybody, sorry about the late reply. I just had a report of a successful fix for this on Telegram. The user who had the exact same problem was coming from CyanogenMod 11, while our HAL-container for the Oneplus One is based on CyanogenMod 12. What you can do is flash the firmware of CyanogenMod 12. Download this zip file, extract it and open a terminal in the folder containing the files. Then, reboot your phone to fastboot/bootloader mode and connect your device with a usb cable. Run the following commands to flash the firmware:

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash dbi sdi.mbn
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash LOGO logo.bin

Making a mistake at this stage can brick your device, so please make sure no of the commands return an error. Last but not least, reboot the device.

I'll leave a lot lying around, but if you want we can meet somewhere.

We don't have a booth or a scheduled talk, but I will be attending and annoy everyone with random Ubuntu Touch facts. I'll also bring a backpack full of UBports stickers and pens that I do not intend to take back home

Interesting, I have not seen this before. But it might just be that nobody tested the MX4 recently, since it's such a rare device. Could you create a proper bug report for me? Thanks!

I'll test this once i'm home and upload a new build. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Here's the official GitHub Statement and a blog post from Nadella.

I wouldn't make this so much about feelings. Let's face it: Microsoft is not evil. But Microsoft isn't necessarily good, either. Microsoft is just a very big company doing what they think is best for their business, and that doesn't always mean it's what's best for everyone else. And yes, they're dabbling with some open-source stuff, but only where it's required or at least very difficult to justify not to have it open. Microsoft wants to stay in control. They already lost the windows-server market to the "foss revolution", so they understood that they have to join the winning team if they want to stay on top. That alone doesn't make them evil. In fact, most companies work that way (even GitHub always has, that's why the GitHub server is proprietary), but they could still change. So let's give them credit for embracing foss where they are and encourage them to abandon their proprietary projects and selfish business techniques. They're saying they aren't the enemy, let's believe them that. But that doesn't automatically make them our friends.

What's worrying to me about this potential acquisition is that it will concentrate too much power with one entity, and that can't be good. This is a development that has been going on for a while now, the FOSS community made the mistake to place too much trust in GitHub for a long time.

GitLab is different that way. It's still a for-profit company behind it, but the client is open-source. You can even host it yourself, and even though real federation is not there yet, it's a lot more likely to come.

The biggest problem GitLab has at the moment is that it's a lot smaller than GitHub. GitHub has 27 million users and 49 million repositories, [GitLab only has 100.000 users/groups (even though that number seems to be pretty old). When we moved UBports from Launchpad to GitHub a little more than a year ago, we discussed GitLab as an option as well, but dismissed it because of lack of adoption. Since then, Gnome has proven that it's possible to move a big open source project to GitLab, and it worked for them.

All in all, i have to say i'm in favor of moving, but i would not rush things. The migration itself is pretty straightforward thanks to great tools, but there's a lot of stuff around it that needs to be modified. Most work will probably be updating the documentation and workflows. Worth it, but no need to rush it. We could make some preparations now, really analyze what to look out for, and make the move after OTA-4.

And for the lack of users, build it and he will come i guess

Wait, you seem to have something mixed up here. At the moment, only the Oneplus One is supported, no other device from the Oneplus lineup. The Oneplus 6 does not yet work with Ubuntu Touch!

The Oneplus One port for Ubuntu Touch is pretty solid, but there are some minor issues.

Hey guys,

awesome to see so much interest in a local event, big thank you to @twinkybot for setting this up! As promised, I will join as well. Unfortunately I have a thing Saturday evening, so I'll have to leave around 16:00. Sunday I'll be back!

Looking forward to meeting everyone!
