@lakotaubp I did reboot once before noticing it and restoring a backup

Just a quick note that all my Contacts are gone on my FP2 after updating to OTA-7, make sure to backup yours before applying the update :)

@UmaGellan , i believe there are other projects in that sense like the Party or Twitter Photo Booth, popular in Company conferences recently. Also Web Panels could be interesting.

Assuming your phone is always connected, i do like the idea of having a local server running and offering a UI to a personal or cloud hosted mail server. It represents less work from a security perspective :)

Happy new year 2019 wherever you are :)
Peace

(Pardon the formatting, i will try to update later on with links as well for those interested)

I have been along time user of Ubuntu Touch and it fits my need despite still running Android in the background and a few other issues.

I have now also been a long time user of Qubes OS, Xen virtualization for personal projects and cloud solutions, network appliances with Linux based OS, but also a lot of other diy projects based on Raspberry Pi within others so here are some recent thoughts:

(note that i am ignoring hardware for a minute, completely ignorant about lib hybris and halium so i take a user self perspective approach :)

1. Diy or iot in a phone, a phone presents all sensors and hardware for a security camera for example, therefore could Motion OS run in a container and access both cameras, etc... i won't suggest running alexa ;)

2. More related to network and privacy, what about running Pi Hole in a container and block ads and dns spying... a Tor router... a file safe... a swiss army knife ;)

3. Thinking about Qubes OS concepts, more control over all aspects of running containers could be made available, have proxys for all kind of traffic and offer further controls and visibility, ability to create alerts...

4. Still on the Qubes OS concepts, template containers pre-setup could be made available like "advanced applications", some with a web remote interface or other...

5. Taking a few step back, if virtualization is a path forward, imagine leaving things up to the user to decide what they run and/or where they supposedly "work", i mean, users who wants WhatsApp can run Anbox or a custom Android container, users who want Gimp, syncthing or other advanced application can run Ubuntu container(s)... maybe a SailFish container for another specific application...

On those thoughts, happy new year 2019 wherever you are :)
Peace

@stefano On Pro5, all drivers seems/are stored in the Android Container File System whereas the FP2 and N5 have some dedicated partitions for drivers.
That might explain why an Ubuntu reboot during a call on FP2 do not close the call (modem running on its own or something in that direction!).

The BQ E models do not have the hardware support for external display, only Nexus 5 (cable), Pro 5 (wireless) & FP2 (wireless) afaik

Hello,
Thanks for all the hard work and getting Xenial out :)
Following on the Halium question above:
What is the current status of the Librem/i.mx 6/8m image?
Are there plan to support the Pine Phone?
Additionally, what about Raspberry Pi and a VM image?
Thanks!

The following worked fine for me: open the Contacts App, select the Contacts wanted, click Share and the Folder wanted with the File Manager App.
This generate a vcf file that you can read, amend, import back in the Contacts App or almost anywhere else :)

Just an extra 2p, Alan Pope BUDS still works fine i believe in case: https://github.com/popey/buds
and finally found back that one at the bottom: https://github.com/mutse/ubuntu-touch-shell :)
