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

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

    • zfs on Ubuntu touch

      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.

    • App for bug reports?

      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.

    • tiling windows on lomiri

      Hi
      Quick question, are there any tiling window manager-like features to lomiri?
      I use sway and miraclewm and I have got very comfortable with this setup. I get that lomiri (and UT more specifically) is designed for a different use case but I was curious if it would even be possible to add this in myself for using a UT device as a computer when docked.

    • Update OS when using Ambot installer

      Hi

      Im using Ambot installer because it does a fantastic job of dealing with some FP5 x UI issues.
      However, it deactivates OTA updates. I tried to uninstall and use the in-app reset options but I still Dont get updates.
      How do I update/upgrade the OS with Ambot installer active?

    • Visual assistance tool : magnification

      Does UT have a visual assistance tool like an on-screen magnifier?
      Most big linux distros do have something like this so I was wondering if it had made its way to UT.

      @kugiigi
      You were right, I needed to wait. Two hours later it is extracting system image. Now I wait for this.
      Thank you!

    • Where do I report when something works?

      My fingerprint reader now works. When I installed UT over a week ago it did not.
      Should I let someone know? Where do I post this?

    • RE: ssh connection fails

      @haagch
      I found a toggle in the UT tweak tools click to allow ssh access.
      That seems to have done the trick.

    • RE: long time for waydroid init

      @ikoz , I have. It does not go passed the 'Preparing to download system image' message. I think it is also stuck somewhere.

    • ssh connection fails

      Re: ssh to pixel 3a - recv - from CB(2) ERROR:108

      I have successfully connected to my phone (FP5) via adb. I followed the ubports guide to setting up ssh and everything looks in place. When I try to connect I get the error below:

      kex_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer
      Connection reset by 192.168.10.109 port 22
      

      Have I missed something?
