yes

Well I installed the app then let it install the kernel mods and then rebooted. Everything seems fine but as if the gui or some download process doesnt work. Not the installation itself.

Hi, long time no see.

Trying out Snaps now when Volla (X23) fixed its kernel to enable that (using multiboot). However, Snapz0r, even though seems to have made change to the kernel, it cant install anything. Just tries a short while and gives up.

and via terminal. sudo snap install firefox for example. I just get that my system does not fully support Snaps.

Is this all multibooting volla users? Or just me?

20.04 ota4

system does not fully support snapd:
cannot mount squashfs image using
"squashfs": mount:
/tmp/syscheck-mountpoint-4184246003:
wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock
on /dev/loop3, missing codepage or helper
program, or other error.

@arubislander

yeah. only hope now is that USB C can drive external displays with USB C input. is that possible? Anyone here got UT working with displays with USB input?

@Rinkeby

The sad answer were no. It has USB C 2.0. And does not work to HDMI conversion.

@arubislander

Thanks for answering as always.

I been looking around on Github and found people having problems with volla. I also found people having problem with the specific screen. So now, I am going to do some work for you. Bought the USB hub. going to use my standard screen and have a go. I let you know!

Cheers!

Hello,

I was thinking to connect an E-ink display, Boox Mira.

But before I buy, I wonder if it is possible to connect to my Volla UT phone?

It seems to be a pretty bad support from Boox, but at least some. But in general, does UT have problems with various external displays?

(Also, going to but an USB/HDMI hub) https://www.proshop.se/Dockning/Natec-Fowler-docking-station-USB-C-HDMI/3133084

That I assume work well with UT?

@kugiigi

yeah, lets call it HUD. that is also costumizable by the user. Its not a perfect solution. But its good enough.

@kugiigi

no, not an on screan keyboard. but similar. instead of using the webbrowsers interface for example, you have your own overlayed interface. Back, forward, home, new tab and so on. As they all got short-commands.

Anyway. I guess its something I am going to look into myself.

Hi,

as I am not the best programmer, I still can offer interesting thoughts. And I was wondering. If we now have on screen keyboard pumping keys and shortcut. Why not have on screen Interface? meaning, you put firefox, chromium, falkon, brave or what ever browser you like. put it in fullscreen meaning no interface, to then enable an on screen UI with tabs and what not, pumping in commands to the browser. new tab, back one page and so forth. Isnt that a good app to help both libertine and snap? And all the glorious programs there is.

Any thoughts?

@arubislander

Yes,

I sort of meant the service of a whole, having everything in one app. But to the look of it,the hostility from all made it imposible.

however. I still hope for a whatsapp update. its just the UI that got messed up resently. A pretty good separate app, but only for xenial still.

@arubislander

Yeah. Its's a good source for this as I have an eye on Volla's progress there. Thanks for the tip.

Yet, really sad when it would have been a dream app. I hope we could donate or something.

@arubislander

Ok! Thanks.

Hello

I got happy over Loqui's existance as whatsapp on UT doesnt work anymore. Both are made for Xenial but installed on Focal. And I just Dont know why its not ported yet. Without complaining, I just dont know how big of a process it is to port between Xenial and Focal.

Now to the real question. When I run the Loqui, the only chatt service available is Jabber. No whatsapp or facebook or anything.

And I wonder if it is due to my Xenial app on Focal install. or is the app broken in general?

Thanks for the discussion guys!

Gave me some insight of Snap. Its going to be a interesting future of that I think. Personally I have to wait for volla as kernel and such goes through them.

@Bouleetbil

going to check it out. Even though Snap is looking promising, I will still do it because of your dedication.

Just a little question. Having no password for sudo su I wonder the security risk of it?

@arubislander

Yes for sure. And I tinker a lot. But obviusly things I cant do either.

In fact, If I am going to contribute to the community better. Its going to be UI.

@arubislander

It shouldnt be that komplicated. but that is how you automize it. As GUI always suffer in linux.

And the dynamics of linux is that you can tinker with everything. But the power of linux is its free code and programs. That or you underastimate the task of making Blender, Darktable. It takes years. So use it.

@arubislander

I see! Thanks for the answer.

to me it sounds promising. As Libertine is just as bad with UI, more or less. The keyboard however. Hope it happens soon.

The UI part in general should be fixed. With math and/or AI redesigning the scale of things. Or just a repository of UI settings, themes and what not.

Hope to see something like that soon. Because that is the power of linux!
