@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.

@RJDan I don't know about a gui, but dd is preinstalled in every linux system so you can try that. There is also the ISODrive UT app which could work for you, but it doesn't do exactly ehat you want.

@arubislander, I was on devel which I think was what was available for the FP5 when I did the install. In anycase, I got an update last night and I am now on 24.04. So problem solved.

@RJDan No such thing (yet) as far as I know.

@RJDan If you reported it in a forum post or a gitlab issue then you should updated there and also mention the steps you did that could have fixed it.

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

@RJDan Nevertheless it is probably an unintended consequence of something you might have tried. Because out of the box the Downloads and Music folders are proper folders and not symplinks.

Installation successful!

@arubislander thanks for the info

@Vlad-Nirky With the FP, you can plug into an external display to get it set up. Honestly I have not gone through the process yet. I dont know if there is an easy way to adjust the UI for phone.

@RJDan I had this problem and asked if anyone here on the forum had any suggestions. I think the answer I got was to try to open an example domain by typing html://example.com/ in the search bar on the browser. It somehow sorts things out..... but it was some time ago and I may have miss remembered.

tedit works great! Thank you!

@RJDan Has anyone tried a snap for KeePassXC?

@ubugogo 2.4 works but 5 does not hold. This is an issue I had with huawei too so I don't think it is UT or Fairphone. I have been wandering the internet, playing music via jellyfin and listening to podcasts. Really seems good with my home wifi

@RJDan Not in UT, no.

TL;DR: use BTRFS or proxy the ZFS via NFS @RJDan said in zfs on Ubuntu touch: [...] better supported on linux, it seemed to be a clear win for zfs. Well, unfortunately that is not the case, ZFS is not supported without adding kernel modules via DKMS. That is because of licensing issues which prevent it from being built-in the kernel like BTRFS and EXT4. DKMS cannot work on Halium kernels as they are based on patched downstream android kernel. I thought FUSE was an option, but after trying to install it on my device I found out zfs-fuse is deprecated, and I couldn't make it work. So the only way is to build the kernel with patches for the ZFS module, beforehand. This is however very complex and I wouldn't recommend it. There is a workaround, to have a NFS/Samba as a proxy to the ZFS file system so that the UT device accesses the file system remotely. The more straight-forward approach is to change the file system to BTRFS, assuming it meets your use cases. If you only need snapshots and backups, you should be fine.

There is some talk about such an app in a different topic so we might get one somewhere in 2022

@rjdan I tested with a 34' Samsung ultra wide monitor today. All the same issues as the Asus zenscreen. The UI was surprisingly less pixelated compared to the 15' zenscreen. Is the response time much better with a MS dongle?
