Hello, I have installed VLC in a Libertine container.
As it has been said, it is very difficult to click on buttons as the icons and characters are very small. I have an idea : why do not install a skin ?

VLC has many skins, including "ftouch 1.00" or "WMP11_B -" which have large buttons, easier to use in touchscreen.

I have downloaded them, but VLC asks for a path to pick them up, so please, do you know where to put my skins files ?

Thank you very much.

For information :
my VLC Libertine path is :

.local > share > libertine-container > user-data > xenial > .local > share > vlc

Hello all, thank you very much for your feedback, and sorry for my late reply.
I feel no offense, I was just trying to raise something I really care about : privacy. I appreciate you listen to members, and that you have removed this &t=parameter. Thank you all again.

I have found the &t= parameter purpose :
https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/privacy/t/

Through partnerships with developers and companies, DuckDuckGo has been integrated into many applications. In these partnerships, a portion of DuckDuckGo's advertising revenue is sometimes shared back. To assign advertising revenue and collect anonymous aggregate usage information, developers add a unique "&t=" parameter to searches made through their applications. 

So it should have been added by developers team on purpose. So my question is still why ? And we know that "anonymous" means nothing. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple use this term.

I dislike the fact that asking question gives me -1 "like". I am objective, I like UBports like you, but an explanation is needed. If a member is wondering about something (with no troll), I would not give him -1 as a social warrior. I read, and answer.

Hello, thank you for proposing UBports, I like a lot the UI.
However, I just have used Moph Browser and I can see that my URL requests are redirected to Canonical using &t= parameter (see below picture) :

I thank your team/ Canonical for bringing UT and Ubuntu in general, but in such case I feel like an invasion of my privacy. On your website, under Donate sentence, it is mentioned "Do you care about freedom of choice and privacy?".

Unfortunately, this is not what I could experience. Now, I (maybe other users) need clear answers :

• 1. Why Morph Browser allows redirections to Canonical servers ? Is it RGPD compatible ?
• 2. What else is sent as a telemetry from OS/app to whatever company/organization ?
• 3. Is there another browser (Firefox) please?

Thank you for your feeback.

@Lakotaubp Thank you very much ! Following your advises, I have succeeded to install VLC on my Nexus 7. I regret the UI is almost unusable, but it is better than nothing !

@arubislander : my strategy was to install a Libertine container first, then install VLC.
However, I could never install any container because it was not so clear to me (I know a few Linux commands but the tutorial I have found on Internet was complex).

If you know an easy way to install VLC as a Libertine container, please feel free to tell us, thank you very much !

Something I also regret is no Anbox for the Nexus 7 : maybe this would have solved the VLC/Kodi/another need.

@arubislander thank you very much. I remember we (you or somebody else) have discussed this point in another topic. Same as @domubpkm : do you have any easy "how to" do it ? I have found a Libertine tutorial and it is not so easy to understand. Thank you !

@canadien666 said in Is UT efficient for a daily drive ?:

player

To me, what is missing is a video player : no VLC, no Kodi, no possibility to read .m3u playlist, and possible extension crashes. This is a No-Go for me but I understand it is not easy to (dedicate time to) make software, so I am patient. Honestly, it is a big lack for me I hope it will come one day.

@matteo than you, in the case I have no other possibility, I would try the other channels.

@AppLee thank you for your trick, sadly, it does not work in my case.

@doniks I have tried with my wifi-hotspot from smartphone, and it works fine. Therefore, only my home network doesn't work. It is very strange (I am sure there is no ID/Password issue).

What I would like to add is that my home network is the one I have used to connect during first start setup after installing Ubuntu Touch. Do you think the bug is related to that ?

Thank you very much !

Thank you @matteo , this is a Nexus 7 tablet (not phone), I am on :

- Ubuntu Touch 16.04 LTS armhf (20190815) 
- Stable channel
- OTA-10

Do you think I can change channel update from Settings or should I re-install everything from scratch ? Thank you
