    • RE: Ubuntu Touch Q&A 107 Saturday 28th August at 19:00 UTC

      @ubportsnews Another 20.04 question (sorry if this has been asked before): According to the Ubuntu package database, package syncevolution is not part of the Focal package repositories any more. What will contact and calendar synchronization be based on in Focal based UT?

    • RE: sound issue playing music and voice navigation

      New Pure Maps release 1.29.0 contains a patch that applies audio role notification to voice directions. Normal audio, e.g., music, is no more stopped, but damped now.

      VW carkits have an infamous bug, that auto-mute Bluetooth audio after music was paused/stopped. When the next voice direction came in, unmuting took some time, cutting-off part of directions. This problem does not happen any more with the new Pure Maps release.

      Using Ubuntu Touch as daily driver got a little more comfortable again. Thanks @rinigus and jonnius!

    • RE: OnePlus One baseband/firmware

      Thanks to @trainailleur, in the mean time, I managed to install UT on the device. FTR, I just had to unlock bootloader via $ fastboot oem unlock before flashing firmware. Radio firmware revision does now match the one from the link in the initial post:

      $ adb shell
      phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ /usr/share/ofono/scripts/list-modems | grep -i rev
          Revision = .4.0.1.c7-00013-M8974AAAAANAZM-1

      Unfortunately I can't reproduce this (with OpO and Jabra Drive carkit). Still no dice.

      I have opened a new topic about Bluetooth findings with OTA-13 (rc).

    • deb, rc: issue switching screen off

      With Nexus 7 LTE (deb) and OTA-12 rc (2020-W14), pressing the power button and releasing it quickly to just switch off the screen, activates the power-down menu as if the button had been pressed for a longer time. Then the screen does indeed turn off. Pressing the power button again, turns the screen back on, with the power-down menu still present. To use the device you have first to press the cancel button. This is quite inconvenient when you have the habit of switching off the screen manually to save charge.

      The issue is not present with OTA-11 (tested switching back and forth between stable and rc channels).

    • RE: New Ubuntu Bootlogos Now available

      @rubencarneiro said in New Ubuntu Bootlogos Now available:

      You can find them at : https://rubencarneiro.github.io/rubencarneiro.io//Ubuntu-Touch-Device-Bootlogos.markdown/

      Nice! Though, I wonder what the main message of the logos is? Is it the hardware vendor or the OS? Given UT is the same on all devices, the hardware vendor shouldn't matter that much.

      Which is the reason various Android hardware vendor's marketing demanding a custom UI. Otherwise, people wouldn't notice and eventually don't care. Should we care?

      I suggest putting the key information "ubuntu touch" in the center, making it bigger, perhaps splitting it onto two lines. The hardware information can be put at the bottom.

    • RE: Ubuntu Touch Q&A 93 Saturday 30th Of January At 19:00 UTC

      While development on the technical foundations of UT is regularly covered in Q&A (20.04 transition, Qt 5.12 transition, Lomiri development, new Halium ports etc.) can you shed some light on (under the radar) development in user land? There must be some, because UT has not come to an end, yet.

      To name the elephant in the room, what about CalDAV/CardDAV support? That seems to be only half-baked, currently. Is there any development on that front? To quote from the UBports site: With Ubuntu Touch they will have nothing to see. Ubuntu Touch user's response: Because there's no way to share. 😉 Since working CalDAV/CardDAV synchronization on a smartphone is a basic requirement like telephony and text messaging these days, would it make sense to back sustainable CalDAV/CardDAV development by the foundation similar to OS development?

    • RE: start.ubuntu.com

      @keneda said in start.ubuntu.com:

      For my self learning, how do you see those requests?

      Since you're asking explicitly, here's a hack-ish non-Libertine way to watch outgoing (DNS) connections. Note that deb packages use xz compression nowadays that is not supported by UT's tar. So extraction of the binary has to be done on a device with a more recent version of tar.

      # Download armhf deb package of tcpdump.  There are newer package versions on the server, but those may not work as easily because of further dependencies.
      $ wget http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/pool/main/t/tcpdump/tcpdump_4.7.4-1ubuntu1_armhf.deb
      # Extract deb archive.
      $ ar -x tcpdump_4.7.4-1ubuntu1_armhf.deb
      # Extract binary.
      $ tar -xf data.tar.xz 
      

      Now, move file usr/sbin/tcpdump to the UT device (via adb, ssh, cloud). Then switch to a terminal on the UT device.

      # Make the binary executable.
      $ chmod +x tcpdump
      # Watch all DNS queries on the device.
      $ sudo tcpdump -i any port 53
      

      Then wait and see.

    • RE: Nextcloud login fails...

      @h_b While I can sync successfully with an external CalDAV server, I can't with a self-hosted nextcloud instance that has a self-signed certificate. There are other similar reports ... Is your nextcloud instance, by chance, secured with a self-signed certificate?

      CalDAV/CardDAV situation was discussed in Ubuntu Touch Q&A 93 (at 3:00 min). Things will probably not improve before 20.04 transition.

    • RE: OnePlus One baseband/firmware

      @trainailleur Thanks, will do so!

      As (for the time being) this is a spare device, is there anything I can tests with UT on OPO with the current (legacy) firmware, that UT QA folks are interested in (like camera)?

    • RE: Dekko 2 incoming email

      @lakotaubp said in Dekko 2 incoming email:

      Though the app is not in the OS directly so each email account used in Dekko 2 would need password plus another verification for Google to except it, if I have that right of course.

      Can't say if you're right, because I don't actually have a gmail account myself. I haven't been aware of big G enforcing 2FA now. Though, I've seen gmail support pages explaining how to turn off "2-step-verification".

      What triggered my response was the fact that I've seen old, EOS phones having to be finally retired when mail providers tightened their list of accepted ciphers. 20.04 based UT will certainly stretch the live span of some phones (if not for gmail users).

      @emphrath said in Dekko 2 incoming email:

      @lakotaubp concerning gmail, they made clear they would drop support for "less secure apps" from may 30 and onwards. Dekko and gmail are a thing of the past.

      I've never touched any 20.04 branch for UT, but from Gmail's view, doesn't the "less secure apps" refer to the 16.04 base (selection of supported ciphers etc.)? Shouldn't Dekko on 20.04 appear to Gmail just as an average mail app?

      Oh seems no sensors work at all, not even after reboot. Is this confirmed? 🙂

      Yeah, confirmed by my post to the OTA-16 RC topic. I did the obvious and restarted the device before posting, but that didn't help. Will next time test if rebooting more than once makes a difference. (Sounds unlikely, though.)

      @messayisto said in Halium 7.1 Test Channel:

      Automatic Brightness doesn't work on my device.

      Automatic brightness didn't work for me, too, after the update. As well as rotation. Since I've already run into the latter problem recently, I've powered the device off and on and automatic rotation and brightness were back. Note, just rebooting the device might not be enough.

      Well, even though, changing environmental lighting conditions has an observable effect on screen brightness, sensitivity could indeed be more intense. Don't know if it is worse than on stable channel, since this device is only used occasionally.

      @unisuperbox Rotation doesn't seem to work on OPO with RC/W10. I've checked rotation lock and restarted the device. Unfortunately, I don't know if rotation ever worked before on this device. According to device page rotation should work. Can anybody confirm?
