@poVoq No, sorry. Only A14.

@arubislander , sure. To set up the bounty we would first need to get the funds. This is why I put up the post. I want to see if the community is interested in trialling something like this.

@Moem , then we find someone else or we vote on another issue.

@Mario.CH
we could pay the app developer to fix bugs in their app or add features. It does not need to be a new app.

@haagch
Sure, that is true. For now though I just need an idea of how many people would be able/willing to take part.

I would like to try to encourage work on some apps but I can't fork out huge sums of money so it would be good if the user community could all contribute to raising some funds to pay the bounty.

I thought maybe we could (for the moment) get an idea of who on the forum would be willing to put some money toward a bug bounty?

The details are very very prelim at the moment but it could look something like this:

• We see how many people can contribute to a round of funding
• We decide what kind of work we can cover (big bounty, small bounty etc)
• We submit suggestions for an app/bug and then the contributing members vote on the app/bug
• We (somehow) send the money to the app maintainer and ask that they please work on these things

For now, I would just ask if you feel your can contribute something toward a bounty, just give me sign that you exist.

I am trying to clone the documentation for ubports to my phone (desktop mode) to edit locally.
I have forked the docs on gitlab, I created the ssh keys on the phone (Wth passphrase) and I have added the public key to gitlab.
I ran the command below to test the connection. It worked after I entered the passphrase for the key.

ssh -T git@gitlab.com 

but when i try to clone my fork with this

git clone git@gitlab.com:MyUserName/docs.ubports.com.git

I get the following

Cloning ....
load key ... : Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

I can clone public repos ... so it is not an issue with connecting to gitlab.
Any advice?

@kugiigi
Thaaaanks!!! The reset button in the tweak tool did the trick.
I did change the edge sensitivity when I was docked so maybe I accidentally change some scaling too.

I rebooted my phone while still connected to an external monitor and since then the UI has been incredibly tiny.
The lock screen is tiny, the touchpad (while connected to the external monitor) is tiny ... almost everything is tiny.

I have tried rebooting several times with and without the screen plugged in, but nothing works.

Any advice?

@Lga
Ah, this is super cool. Do these bounties contribute to UT or is this just for desktop lomiri....
It would be great to do this for UT.

@ChromiumOS-Guy
I have adjusted some settings and the tabs persist between reboots but the pages always require that I log in again

thanks for the work on the app btw, it really has made UT so much more usable!!

It would be good to have some clear advice to non-developer on how we can encourage work on stuff that we felt was needed.
Maybe the OS development should not be guided by ad-hoc money waving from the community, but if we wanted an app to be ported or if we needed a bug to be dealt with, it would be great to know how we can nudge some development in that direction.

This should not be an alternative to supporting UBports directly but it could be a way to supplement app development.

Maybe the first question should be: What is the UBports developers choice of platform for bug bounties?
How should be let the developers know that we want something addressed and we (the community) will organise the bounty.

@arubislander if I ever get so proficient with UT I will definitly contribute. Right now I am still learning.

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.

Password manager integration!!

keepass does not work for me (and I think for many).
I managed to get my passwords to uwolf but that is not a great solution because I use keepassxc on my desktops so I now need to do an extra 'dance' to update the passwords on uwolf. Also, I can't copy passwords from uwolf to non-X apps and uwolf erases all tabs when you close it, so I need to constantly re-login to stuff.

Even reporting bugs is a challenge. I would like to include my log files from logviewer but I can't easily log into gitlab on morph without password integration (to copy-paste the logs) and I can't copy them to uwolf or copy the passwords to morph. So when I file a bug report I need to again do a whole 'dance' to migrate logs to my desktop and then upload them to gitlab.

I feel like this is a huge sticking point right now. Even bigger than waydroid issues.

@Keneda
So side-loading the xenial apps did work. They start up fine but I have not had a chance to figure out how to get them to connect to my server running torrent yet.
It looks promising though.

@domubpkm
I gave that a try now. The webpage opens, I tap on install and the open store app opens but it just takes me to the landing page.
I will download and manual install.

@Keneda
I dont see these on my open store so I guess they arent available for my phone.

I might have missed it, but does UT have a torrent app or webapp for remote access to a home server torrent?
Sometimes I want to start a download without needing to get my laptop out.

@Robipo sometimes it is doing things in the background. I have had the same 'problem' before where I think nothing is happening, I start doing something else and then have the phone reboot while Im doing something else.
