Min Broeser is crashing after it st

This is normal I will realease very soon (possibly tomorow) a new version that will not crash with 24.04-2.x, this is another bug that I can and will fix easily, that should currently only impact Min and Rocket.Chat .

The real problem is the OSK, I guess if it does not work with uWolf, it is the same with Signal UT or Whatsnew

Thank's

@pparent have you reported the issue anywhere? Not sure if anyone worked on that. Did this testing result in >any logs or anything that could point us to a cause? Are these apps still using my immodules.cache hack from >back in xenial?

I did not open an issue, because I did not have the time to really dig. But some users did report me the issue about my apps.

But I remember we discussed with @gpatel-fr about this issue on this forum, and I think he had an hypothesis about a commit that might have provoked it, but I did not have the time to dig. I will try to find again this topic!

Possibly yes. My apps are indeed using a immodules.cache file in GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE to point to the maliit-inputcontext-gtk library path form the app. Its probable that the other apps from other authors do the same.

Edit:

this could be linked to this change:

if it is, you may find warnings such as 'Application attempted to activate itself without focus' in the journal.

If anyone can report the current status of the app on 24.04-2.x, it would help, as I currently don't have a testing device compatible with it!

Thank's!

@lsitongia

Unfortunately I cannot really test now because my testing device is Oneplus Nord N10 5G, and I can't risk my daily driver at the moment.

My concern is about XWayland apps, is there still the problem of OSK not showing up on these apps ? (uWolf, uFirefox, Chromium for UT, Signal UT, Whatsnew, Min Browser, Rocket.chat)? I say that because I could test previous revisions of 24.04-2.x on my device and those app could not access the OSK anymore. Other people reported the same.

Can any one report the current status of these apps? Has it improved or is it still the same?

( I feel it would be a shame to loose usage of these apps with upgrade to 24.04-2.x, they are currently indispensable to my personal daily usage on my volaphone 22 ).

Thank you!

@pparent

Sorry for the aside, but what is the status for using Signal from a desktop app (without having a phone number) ?

Well I guess it will probably be a reality one day, but for now we have to be patient, as no official release has been made about if and when a standalone desktop version (Without needing Android or iOS) will be available.

Also from my understanding it would not be without needing a phone number. I think you will still need to receive a code by SMS. Just that you won't need to install Signal on an Android/iOS smartphone, and you will be able to directly make the installation process (that requires SMS authentication) on your desktop (or in this case on you Ubuntu Touch).

It seems Signal-Desktop will support linux-arm64 officially in upcoming releases!

https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/commit/8e1728ff634734a5e30fd314ab4c246434f0aa2e

Which is a nice to have! (That does not exclude the need to patch the code for use on UT )

Note that in 24.04-1.2 dev, the problem is exactly the same on volla 22. And my perception is that the problem is magnified

Do you mean in 24-04-2.x?

Now I'm that I'm running the script it's much better for me. But I still observe the following:

-Sometimes the connexion is abnormally slow, I'm not sure if it comes from the operator, the coverage or the phone. Now the priority is maybe given to 5G...

-LTE does not reconnect properly most of the time after a connexion loss.

@gpatel-fr said:

Another solution if you need 24.04-2 but not the last version could be to try to install a previous version less bulky. Unfortunately I have no quick idea to do that either.

I just wanted to try to investigate the problem of OSK with XWayland apps on 24.04-2.x, and check whether the problem is still present.

Well it does not matter, I will try again later.

@gpatel-fr

Sorry for the delay, here is the log that indicate a partition size problem

@wally said:

I don't know much about all this, so excuse me if I say stuff that doesn't make sense but could it be that 24.04 2.x has moved on with packaging Morph Qt 6 stuff, and the root partition isn't big enough on Oneplus N10? I believe its not on the list of devices that will get 24.04 2.0 (stable), at least for now, until somebody can figure out enlarging the partition.

Yes if it is not on the least, then it is probably that, I did not know about that.

Because installation of 24.04-1.x works fine, with the same process!

Hello,

I have a Oneplus Nord N10 5G (Billie) that @messayisto gave me.

It initially had 24.04-2.x, but I had to install 24.04-1.x to make some tests, and I cannot install 24.04-2.x again. I always get this errer message when installing.Any advice?

I am kinda against "money" in general, but no fool that we all still need it until the world changes xD

I get what you mean, but I think in practical terms nowadays money makes the difference for what individuals will be able to do with their time in most cases, whether we want it or not. Because it is hard to live without money.

So I think that it can be very positive, if more people can make a living out of developing Free and Open-Source software that makes sense for the community, rather than having to work for an industry based on exploiting users. Therefore form my point of view, solutions that help improve the funding of Free and Open-source software can really impact the world very positively.

@domubpkm

Can you say explicitly what is your concern?

Is it asking for the first and last name? This could be deleted if that turns out to be a blocking point for some people. It's not really something I had considered.

For now the plateform is completely based on trust. Creating a pledge only corresponds to an intention of donation when the feature has been completed, but without any legal or financial commitment. That is to say, that a weak point of the plateform could be the creation of fake accounts or accounts creating unserious pledges.

Though I'm not sure about the impact of asking the name on that. But at the same time one could argue that wanting to stay anonymous does not help to build a trust relationship between developer and user. Also I think that currently most of the existing donation plateform (if not all), will ask you for your name before you can donate.

Don't hesitate to share your point of view.

This will, I think, lead to the establishment of a confidentiality policy and collection and use of personal data subject to I don't know what rules.

Can you develop what you mean by that?

i hope it will help you build a healthy income while we enjoy your content

Thank you!

I just want to mention that currently I don't expect it to be more, than at best a side income, for now! But the most important for me, for now is really to test the concept to see if it can be an efficient way to fund open-source projects, and allow the community to have more influence on the development!

Hello everyone!

Today, I would like to introduce a new concept: Fund My App.

https://fund-my-app.com/ will now be the official donation link for all my apps on the Openstore. But it is much more than a simple donation page.

Fund My App allows you to fund the features you really need. Instead of donating for past development, you can support upcoming features, the apps to come, and the future development! It gives you a real opportunity to influence the future of your apps.

On this website, you will be able to create a new feature request for one of my apps, propose a new app idea, or even request modifications to another open-source app. You will be able to back these feature requests with a donation pledge.

You can also pledge a donation to an existing feature request created by another user on Fund My App. It therefore makes it possible to crowdfund features: individual pledges are combined to fund the development of a specific feature.

My current goal is to first test this concept through my own app development. I hope it can help foster more community-driven development and improve funding for open-source apps. If the concept proves successful, it could be extended way beyond my own projects.

Try it out, and don't hesitate to give me feedback, whether on the general idea or on its current implementation.

https://fund-my-app.com/

Cheers,
Pierre.

Ps: I will make a video presentation of Fund My app soon.
Ps2: That doesn't change the fact that I plan to continue maintaining my applications on a volunteer basis.

Also maybe make sure your window title and name are similar or equal to your application name, as Lomiri does a fuzzy compare to detect the application corresponding to a window.

@PerlMax

Well I don't know, I've not done anything in particular, with 24.04-1.3 there should be only one window by default for a Xwayland program.

Make sure to do

export GDK_BACKEND=x11
export DISABLE_WAYLAND=1 

before you start your app

@PerlMax

Yes, Well I guess your application is firing 2 windows, no?

You can install xdotool to list the existing xWayland windows.

My guess is, that this bug is not related to UT, but that your application is starting 2 windows.

@PerlMax

Yes but what version precisely? Because there was an important change about that between 24.04-1.2 and 24.04-1.3 .

Can you re-upload the screenshot we cannot see it!

@PerlMax

I can't see the screenshot!

What version of UT are you running?
