@domubpkm said in Please vote on all OpenStore apps that you install on UT!:

@opolork Right, you can also use an Ubuntu One account ! But we must have an account (Github or Gitlab or Ubuntu One as you said) which is the mandatory bridge to review an app.

Unfortunately that means I shall not be leaving any comments.

@AppLee Nice!

@danqo6 said in Podbird lacks faster playback speed settings.:

If I remember correctly, that bug affected only pinephone, in code was for some reason playback speed set to x3 https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~michael-sheldon/podbird/trunk/revision/204 and almost no phone was affected with that

Hi danqo6. I'm using a FP2.

Thanks, @kugiigi & @povoq. 👋

@arubislander said in DistroWatch Poll: Do you own a Linux-powered phone? - UBports is a choice.:

Just tried it on Android device in Chrome. Was not really adapted to mobile.

That's a pity. 😞

@kugiigi said in How can I check the size of my SD card?:

Try running the command lsblk in the terminal. I think it's mounted at /mnt/media

Hi kugiigi.

Thanks. It was in

/media/phablet/...

🙂 👋

@Lakotaubp Thank you. 🙏🏻

It would improve the forum, though it sounds like a major rework.

@AppLee said in Can't play webm video in Telegram.:

solved

No problem, will do. 🙂

How about the storage option being moved to the main Settings section?

@Lakotaubp said in Should Ubuntu Touch be renamed?:

@IMMD Cif

Yes. 🙂

I just tried Reddit again - it now works fine even with uAdBlock on. 🤔

I've made a note of the tedit paths and commands and may try it at a later date. Or anyone else can try and post here if they please. 🙂

For now, I prefer the uText method as described in my post here: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3902/how-to-open-a-txt-file-that-i-copy-from-pc-to-fp2-with-ut/12?_=1583692201634

Cheers, friends. 👍 👍

@Pulsar33 said in How do I copy files to and from my phone & PC with uFTP & WifiTransfer?:

@Opolork : Hello

WifiTransfer :

acts like a server => use Filezilla on the laptop the Filezilla UI allows multiple selection of files and folders and make things easy I experienced "silent errors" of transfer, often for a bunch of photos which is easy to detect
=> you always must verify the integrity of what you have transfered

uFtp :

acts like a client => use Filezilla Server on the laptop I never succeeded to transfer a folder or multiple files from Laptop to Phone I never experiment "silent errors" uFtp makes a temporary copy of all what you send in his folder. This is a huge drawback !

Confinement :
WifiTransfer and uFtp are confined as usual so they can only access to the .local/share/<appname>/ folder.
The only choice is to use UT file manager and enable show hidden files and full access.
Using Terminal, you can create symbolic links for easier access :

ln -s ~/.local/share/wifitransfer.sil/ ~/Ftp ln -s ~/.local/share/ftpmanager.costa/ ~/uFtp

Firewall :
Depends on your PC OS and configuration ... Might be necessary to modify.

Hope this helps

Cheers, pulsar33. That was very informative. 👍 👍 🙂

@dobey touché

Today, there was an update for the Recorder app. I tried again to move a recorded file to my PC - this time it worked even better - my phone was left on. No issue. 🙂

@Giiba Thank you. 🙂

@arubislander I understand. ☺

@Flohack said in Possible to encrypt DNS easily in Ubuntu Touch?:

20.04

Hopefully, this get's implemented in 20.04. 👆🏻 🙂

@guru The drawback is that if we do not mark messages as read, your unread count will explode: All groups and chats will show the blue bubble with 999+ unread messages after some time. You will not know which message you have already seen and which not. How will that work?

Telegram server expects in order for you to keep track of unread messages (and also positioning the view when opening a chat on the last unread message) that you submit read receipts. They will be relayed to all other parties in this chat, if needed. You cannot influence this.

I will not implement a "shadow db" that keeps track of "locally read" and corresponding network messages, since that defeats the purpose of the tdlib library which encapsulates the whole Telegram protocol and also message store for us. You m,ight however want to file an issue here: https://github.com/tdlib/td/issues - those guys could in theory provide an option to not send read receipts.

Again I expect they will refuse, since if its not implemented on server side, its complicated and unreliable.
