Thanks @AppLee I'll install that and give it a go. I suspect that what I want is more specialised than this, but I'll look into it and see if it can help shape my thinking. I'm happy to build something that syncs with the standard player, my original intention (back in the day) was to do something fancy with the music scope.

@3arn0wl the thing I miss the most on Ubuntu Touch is not having a cloud-based player. I've spent years building my collection* on OneDrive (I know, don't start) and I use an app called CloudPlayer on Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doubleTwist.cloudPlayerPro) I even pay for the premium version. It allows me to sync albums from my OneDrive to the local machine for my commute. I'd like to replicate this on Ubuntu Touch.

@arubislander of course, but I have more free time tomorrow and Friday than I do today

*by 'collection' I mostly mean Doctor Who stories from Big Finish

@arubislander thanks, I'm GMT/UCT. In the meantime I think that I'm going to start on my app in QtCreator and see if I can start writing code that I can port to UT later.

I might be due a full wipe-and-reinstall with 20.04 LTS, so it might be better to wait for that and start with a guaranteed clean machine rather than a laptop I've been using for three years (on 19.10 now)

@arubislander Thanks, I've got 'Ubuntu' selected rather than 'Ubuntu on Wayland' (I'd never noticed the option before!).

@arubislander Just my desktop session, I don't have anything else running, and I'm just running this on my laptop, I've not created a VM or anything that might be headless.

Thanks @arubislander & @poVoq . I'm running Ubuntu 19.10. I installed clickable 6.10.0 from the PPA, which seems to be the latest version.

Rebooted, but same errors.

@DansLeRuSH Hi Frank, I know what you mean about being pissed off. I was very cross at the time, but I guess I understand that whole of the rest of the Ubuntu product line was being held up by UT and they needed to move on.
uNav is great for Japan mapping data, much better than Google. I remember I took Maps.me with me last time, but I'll take uNav next time.

Ha yes, I pointed it out to my son last weekend. We'd watched Micro Men previously so he knew who they were

You know, I think I did, but I'll bounce it now and check again. BRB

Morning Everyone,

I'm Sam, and I'm a long time Linux user. I first installed SuSE on my desktop back in the 90s when I was working as Unix/C developer, writing industrial programs for AIX and HPUX. I turned to Microsoft in the early 2000's but I've been back on Ubuntu since about 2010 I think. I've recently reinstalled Windows 10 in a partition, but only because of the promise of Flight Sim 2020.

I started to specialise in mobile platforms in 2001, and I'm always interested in keeping a very varied choice of ecosystems in mobile platforms. I bought the Aquaris E4.5 and M10 HD tablets when they launched, and I use them weekly (if not daily).

I work as Head of Innovation Development for a (very) large and (very) famous FinTech company, and I'm always building things. I spent a lot of time with my soldering irons and 3d printers as well as my computers, and you can often find me at Cambridge Makespace (makespace.org)

Morning everyone,
After years of lurking I'm taking the plunge to at least explore how to write the apps that I miss when I'm using Ubuntu Touch. I have the Aquaris E4.5 and M10 HD Tablet, and I would like to use them more than I do so.

I'm an experienced developer, and I've been working in Linux and other Unix-like environments since the 90s, so I didn't think that it would be particularly difficult to get up and running, particularly as clickable seems to do the heavy lifting.

However, whichever way I've turned I've run into trouble, and I've not been able to get going. Firstly I thought this could be a good opportunity to learn Go, so I've build the template with that. When I call clickable desktop I get this response

Successfully built package in './gotest.fats.am_0.0.1_amd64.click'.
non-network local connections being added to access control list

docker: Error response from daemon: error while creating mount source path '/gopath/path/home/sjp': mkdir /gopath: read-only file system.
sjp@orac:~/MyWorkspace/GoTest$ echo $GOPATH
/home/sjp

OK, I thought, I'll switch to C++. I found @CiberSheep's video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBMGhq-xT6c and started to follow that. He has a nice and simple first run through the creation process, but when I try to follow it I get
non-network local connections being added to access control list

Could not connect to any X display.
sjp@orac:~/MyWorkspace/CloudMusic$ echo $DISPLAY

Finally, I'm also trying to target my E4.5. I've checked that it is in developer mode, and when I plug it in, Ubuntu detects it and mounts it (is this the problem?), but adb won't have any of it

sjp@orac:~/MyWorkspace/CloudMusic$ adb devices -l
List of devices attached
JU002975               unauthorized usb:1-1 transport_id:2

Any help in getting any further with any of these issues is gratefully received!

Thanks
Sam

OK, might have fixed it, I'm not certain what I did though. I tried vol up + vol down + power and I got it to boot.

I'd not used my E4.5 for a while. Booted it and it looked fine, but I thought I'd run an update. I downloaded the installer snap to my Ubuntu desktop, and did a very normal installation. Rebooted, and it looked good.

Picked it up this morning and it won't boot. I get the "bq powered by ubuntu" boot screen but no further. Vol Up & Power gives me a boot menu (recovery, fast, normal) but vol down & power just reboots to the same point.

Have I bricked it, or is there a way out of this?
