    • RE: Can't install 24.04-2.x

      @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!

    • Can't install 24.04-2.x

      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?

      @nbdynl said:

      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?

      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! 😉

    • Fund my app: a new concept!

      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.

    • RE: Custom builder for a library

      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.

      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!

    • RE: Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch

      @PerlMax said:

      with my pEFL App, two windows open: one named "pefl" (my app) and one named "X11 Support."

      In Min Browser (which also runs via Xwayland, right?), there's only one window. So somehow you managed to get rid of the "X11 Support" window.

      Strange maybe you can post a screenshot, on your topic and mention me, I will reply there!

      In Min Browser, the input from the Maliit Keyboard is sometimes overwritten (for example, I want to open www.google.de , but at some point it turns into www.googlegoogle.de ). I think it is this problem: https://github.com/minbrowser/min/issues/2705

      Yes I plan to work on fixing that soon! 😉

    • RE: Whatsnew: Whatsapp Web with Electron.

      I've published the new revision (0.1.8) with the following improvements:

      -Fix layout problem coming from changes upstream
      -Improve ContentHub handling
      -Improve call icons layout

      I should also not crash on 24.04-2.x, although it will probably not be usable yet, as for now it seems that On-Screen-Keyboard does not work on any XWayland app. I will try to investigate more about that soon.

      I next revision I will try to add an option to configure scaling with fine grain, and few improvements/fixes in the UI.

    • RE: Bug: data mobile interface looses ip

      By the way I've personally installed the script in a way that stands in time by creating a systemd file:
      ( Because it improves a log my day-to-day experience)

      /etc/systemd/system/backup-4g.service :

      [Unit]
      Description=LTE backup Service
      After=network.target
      
      [Service]
      Type=simple
      ExecStart=/home/phablet/backup-ip.sh
      Restart=on-failure
      WorkingDirectory=/home/phablet/
      
      [Install]
      WantedBy=multi-user.target
      

      and then

      sudo systemctl enable backup-4g
      

      So that it starts automatically at startup.

      For this to work you need to have the script that I have posted above in /home/phablet/backup-ip.sh

      @projectmoon said:

      And it seems like that when keyboard closes, the text entry still stays halfway up the screen. But that bug was preexisting.

      Yes because for now I cannot detect when the keyboard is really open or not.

      The keyboard closing after every message is new.

      Ok I guess it might be a change upstream in Signal-Desktop that provoked it. Thank's for reporting I'll see what I can do about it in next revision.

    • RE: Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch

      I've just released revision 8.13.0-1, it includes the following improvements:

      • Better integration of ContentHub
      • Better integration of left menu
      • Bump to Signal-Desktop 8.13

      It took a bit of time as changes upstream broke my way to compile the package and I had to investigate it.

      Also I've changed the way ContentHub is handled, now it is hardcoded in Signal-Destkop thank's to a patch. I will make things smoother and more reliable for the user, but it will also prepare the ground for switching to Wayland, with Mir2.x

      This version should also not crash on Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.x, although the virtual keyboard will probably not work, like on all XWayland apps with 24.04-2.x (currently).

      I plan to release a new version every 1-2 month, as a Signal-Desktop version is only guarantied to work for a period of 3 months.

      A feature I want to add is the ability to configure scaling with fine grain.

      Tell me if the new version works well for you! 😊
