@mihael does OSM Scout Server bundle bunzip or does it rely on system to have it?

RE: Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch
@pparent good update. I am noticing that the keyboard seems to close after every message rather than staying open. And it seems like that when keyboard closes, the text entry still stays halfway up the screen. But that bug was preexisting. The keyboard closing after every message is new.

RE: click on notification bubble
@gpatel-fr would not upgrade it. Just test notifications. It is indeed 16.04 and turns on. Haven't tested yet though.

RE: click on notification bubble
interesting, unfortunately it's very unlikely that someone still running 16.04 is reading this, maybe someone running 20.04 could chime in ?
I have a Nexus 5 in a drawer... that might be running 16.04... Assuming it actually turns on, which is not a given.

What is the Navius app, exactly?

RE: click on notification bubble
@mihael yes, tapping the floating one that appears when the notification appears. It doesn't make sense to me to have the tap dismiss the notification into the notification bar, when you can do that with a swipe.

RE: click on notification bubble
I agree with this. Swiping the notification makes it disappear into the list. Tapping the notification should just execute the notification handler, like tapping it from the notification list does.

RE: Workaround for Internet access restrictions affecting ubports-installer
@developerbayman this thread is for people located in countries where due to government restrictions or other censorship, the Ubuntu Touch servers are blocked at least some of the time.

RE: Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.3
Overall 24.04-1.2 seemed to work perfect in my day to day usage.
Whereas 1.3 has some occasional quirks/regressions/differences? that are noticeable to me but not breaking enough to remember or make a note of each of them while out at work.
This signal strength was a noticeable one, I know the nearest mast is not far away and I know what is displayed now is very different to 1.2. Which is correct/accurate is another matter, if it's correct that's fine but ultimately people want to know at a glance if they can make a call and an empty triangle with even poor signal is not a helpful indicator if a call would be possible. Is there a different symbol for no signal as I haven't seen it? I believe you have to pull down and look at the carrier showing "Searching..." for this?
Another change I can remember is cellular data, before I could open the default browser anywhere and just browse straight away. Now intermittently with no WiFi available the browser will not have a data connection, the quick way I found to resolve this is shuffle cellular data off and on again.I have noticed some similar things as well. Also having to reboot the phone way more often than normal because something gets funky. It's not like it's ALL the time, but it is a noticeable increase. I've also had the phone outright freeze completely when something too big in the browser was happening.

RE: [Comment] indicator panel in emergencies
@RJDan I think a more immediate solution to this problem would be to allow apps like the activity tracker to not require the screen to be on. It should be able to track with screen off. Then you wouldn't have to go through this strange dance. Come to think of it, I am not really sure why it doesn't work with screen off? At least if suspend is prevented...

RE: [Alpha] Greenline - A qml Whatsapp client for Ubuntu Touch
@brenno.almeida great work!only use your app now since it is fast smooth and reliable.
only hickup, anyone else keeps missclicking the send button? its really hard to press for some reason (xiaomi redmi note 9 pro)
I have this issue on the Quintus. Maybe the mouse area is too small?

RE: questions about app confinement
@developerbayman your point just suggests that we need better confinement, not to remove it. For example, the alarm app could have apis to run confined
There is definitely an argument that current permissions are either too broad or too restrictive. Ideally, an app should not require review to use Bluetooth, for example. Because most uses of Bluetooth are not administrative. The reason review is required is because granting the permission allows full control of the BT stack.
But, like all things, someone needs to make it happen...

RE: Selling Ubuntu Touch Devices and Respecting the License
Question_Asker Well, I am not a lawyer. But in general the obligation of the GPL is that you must provide the source code upon request from your licensee (which is someone you have sold your GPL-containing product to). That means you must provide it, not point to some upstream source. But there are many ways to fulfill the obligations of the GPL. Technically you don't even have to put the code on an online repository. You can mail it to people on CD if you want lol.
So the simplest way to do this, is to maintain a mirror of the code on a git forge (GitHub, self-hosted Foregjo, GitLab, etc), and then when or if people ask for the code, point them at that link. Or just put the link in a manual. Which is exactly what Volla does.
Edit: and to be honest, maybe upstream source is enough, if your source is entirely upstream? I dunno. Again, not a lawyer.

RE: Selling Ubuntu Touch Devices and Respecting the License
@Question_Asker https://volla.online. More specifically, https://volla.online/en/operating-systems/ubuntu-touch/. Pretty sure, as far as license goes, you just need to provide the GPL sources and so forth. Trademarks of Ubuntu Touch and UBPorts foundation would be a separate matter, and I have no idea how that is handled for commercial sellers that sell UT devices. Maybe certain assets/names are trademark protected. But as far as code goes, you can take the entire UT stack, slap it on a phone, and sell it, so long as you follow the GPL or other applicable licenses.

RE: Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.3
Possible issue found in 1.3, maybe this could be checked it's not only myself?
Bluetooth can't be disabled or enabled from the battery menu. The toggle moves but it doesn't work and stays in the same state.
I use this regularly as a quick way to achieve some power savings from one place, part of discussions on usage here
Disabling from there own respective pull down works correctly.It also happens on my FP4 with 1.3
Seems to be a bug, yes. Happens to me on a Volla Quintus with stable 1.3.

RE: Custom builder for a library
@projectmoon Unfortunately this is not enough. The c library searches for config files etc. under the installation prefix (e.g. /usr/share/elementary). Perhaps it would be possible to compile efl at the UT XDG data-dir, but I didn't have luck with this so far
That's why the solution would be to run in a chroot environment (where I could copy the files from the libertine container.. Best wishes, MaxI mean, if it uses an installation prefix, you should be able to change the prefix to anything you want. What happens if you try to compile it to an XDG data-dir?
