I thought it might be useful to have a list of snaps that run well on UT.
I will slowly populate this list as I try things.
Tested an FP5 focal 24.04

No success
= installed, seems to work, further testing needed
Works in desktop mode, fully functional
CLI tool (so it is convergent-ish)
Convergent(-almost)

Could you add a segment to the 'show' where you give an example of how to get things done on UT?

I think many people need to figure out ways to work in UT since it is quite different from android but many of these ideas don't make their way to the 'general UT public'.

For example, there was a discussion about getting uwolf or firefox to sync passwords. This is a great alternative to the non-functioning password manager apps and makes life a lot easier.
Or maybe demo how to use ghostcloud.

I think these 'FYI' segments can help ease the transition for many people.

@keneda said in This Forum's software is horrible! :

BTW if you can't do some things here it's because your reputation is not already high enough.

I couldnt find how to increase reputation... There isnt any links on the landing page to guide new users on how use the platforw.

@moem said in This Forum's software is horrible! :

You build up reputation by posting and getting upvotes on your posts.

I couldn't post because my reputation was too low.

@O.o. Thanks for sharing. Its great to see what others have done. The am/pm trick is a neat way to deal with the corners!

@gpatel-fr I could not downgrade. The FP provided installer did not work so I went from A14 directly.

@wally sorry, misread the title!

Hello
I might have missed it. Is there an app for 'automatically' populating gitlab/github bug reporting?
For me at least, I would be more inclined report bugs if it were easier.
It would help you guys too because you could get the app to send logs etc that are necessary for examining the problem.

Hello

I have an external harddrive that I use for as a portable 'home partition'. Its formatted with zfs and I have been using to to effortlessly move between using different computers (laptop, desktop, work) and have all my files all the time.
If I wanted to use it with an Ubuntu touch device, I would need to have a functioning zfs installation on the device. I heard in one of the podcasts that installing things via apt is not supported and the root partition only has 3GB of space.

Is it feasible/possible to install zfs on UT? I guess a snap installation of zfs is very unlikely.

@messayisto I have not had any issues with it thus far.

@kugiigi Hey
My lomiri plus only has device configuration and accesibility. There is no option about convergence.

@gpatel-fr I could not downgrade. The FP provided installer did not work so I went from A14 directly.

@sixwheeledbeast
I just tested on my side. I could add new prints with no effort.

@kugiigi
I dont see the option. Where should I look.

@Escain What android version did the phone come with?

So I found that doing a routine reboot helps make UT an enjoyable daily driver by resetting things before strange problems come up.
Im using a snap that reboots the device at midnight everyday.
The problem is that my alarms dont go off in the morning unless I login after the reboot and I guess this is an situation because I am using the home drive encryption.

Is there a foreseeable way to do a routine reboot and have some functions work without the first reboot?

I have two monitors at work and I recently learnt about daisy chaining with DP connections so I though to try with UT and my phone.
It almost works! With no effort at all, I got my screen to be mirrored on both monitors but I could not find a setting to allow for side-by-side displays.
Is there any support for this?

UT 24.04 on FP5

I am trying to use my UT phone as a desktop and it is performing really well.
I decided to try my wacom tablet plugged in. The device works but only as a touchpad, the pen is not doing anything.
Has anyone tried to get a drawing tablet pen to register on UT?
I guess it needs some drivers or something to be installed.

@pparent
Ive got used to it now. If I really need to know the minute, then I am probably already late.
