"Redshift" functionality, changing screen "temperature" depending on time.

Looks like the issue is due to too big /etc/hosts file, after enabling too much uAdBlock blackists:

After reducing blacklist my E5 is usable again! (no longer a feature phone with one app usable ).

I am using E5, upgraded from Ubuntu Touch OTA-15/16 (what's the last was there?).

I've used UBPorts installer from https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/releases , it kept all the data. I did have to install some apps again, but everything works as before, including issues from Ubuntu Touch timeline .

Hi,

I would like to contribute Lithuanian (my native language) keyboard layout, don't know how's that done.

Is there a tutorial/notes on developing keyboard language?

Also, how could I test it without potentially breaking my daily driver Aquaris E5 phone?

Thanks!

P.S. I have C++, QML experience, just don't know where to start...

Thanks @stanwood for the fix, it worked!

If you are just wanting to flash devices and not develop for them, then you should be fine using the UBports Installer on Debian. It is packaged as an AppImage

That's awesome, thanks!

I don't think they can just get money just like that.

Patreon has set "Goals", one of them could be better security support.

Next month there would be new delivery of the course.

This is great news! Thanks a lot!

What are the plan to handle security issues, such as BlueBorne and KRACK we have currently, and others in the future?

From Community Update 15:

People have been asking about the KRACK and BlueBorne vulnerabilities lately, and for good reason. These are highly public explots. Both have been fixed in the RC and Devel channels, with the fixes landing in Stable with the next OTA.

Yay!

Marking this thread as solved.

As far as I understand, the problem is to update the kits, not my system which is perfectly up to date

It seem so. I guess we need to update /etc/apt/sources.list inside lxd contaner used for building?

Hi

KeePit [0] is password manager app on Ubuntu Touch that I believe is one of "must haves". It is mobile alternative to KeePass/KeePassX.

Sadly, KeePit developer cannot continue developing because he no longer has working Ubuntu Touch phone [1].

Since I've read about Canonical donating Ubuntu Touch devices to UBPorts, maybe UBPorts would consider to donate one device to KeePit developer?

Alternatively, maybe we, the community, could fundraise one of officially supported (not legacy, for future-proof) devices?

What's your thoughts?

I did this:

• Enter container with lxc exec device-armhf -- /bin/bash
• Replace archive into old-releases in sources.list with sed -i "s|archive|old-releases|" /etc/apt/sources.list

But after that, running apt update inside container, I get errors about ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/vivid/... (404 Not Found), while old-releases works fine for other repositories.

There are in fact no vivid in this repo:
http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/

So what cane ports host be changed into? Is there archive as that old-releases somewhere?

@advocatux said in Consider donating phone for KeePit (KeePassTouch) developer?:

@talkless I think the first step is to ask DannyGB if he's still interested in resume the development of that application for UBports.

Good point, I've asked about it, we'll see how it goes:
https://github.com/DannyGB/KeePassTouch/issues/29

Maybe some one else will consider forking it or transferring maintainership if he declines.
