I'm following this guide for compiling Ubuntu Touch packages. Setting up LXD with crossbuilder setup-lxd works well but when I execute the command crossbuilder in any project I get this error:

... 
Installing armhf build dependencies for address-book-app in container address-book-app-usdk-16-04-amd64-armhf-dev.

dch: fatal error at line 569:
debian/changelog is not writable!

First I used a normal user in Ubuntu. Then when that didn't work, I tried a sudo user. Didn't do the trick.

Any idea?

Maybe more people (maybe all using UT) should file a request Signal support page => upper right corner

@elastic Did it!

@thebird don't close the app

OK your reply. So that is the trick. I was to exited then

So it is not very reliable then. Would be better if there is an option to start an app like Signal @ boot. Or run it in the background without being visible, so you can’t close it. Anybody?

Never mind. Has been answered: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/235/notifications-out-of-the-comfort-zone/22

@hummlbach said in Looking for new maintainer / developer for TextSecure / Signal app:

Btw. for all that didn't recognize that there is a workaround to get notifications from the signal app... Just turn off app suspending for the signal app (using UT Tweak Tool) and you'll get notifications. According to @nanu-c it has no big impact on the battery (at least he doesn't notice a big impact, may vary if you're not already running dekko maybe ;-)). Just try it out!

That would be great! So I tried this:

Start UT Tweak Tool -> Menu -> Apps Scopes -> Look for Signal -> Prevent app suspension
This option was off, switched it to on.

Then I started Signal, and I recieve new messages / notifications (like it already did), but when I close Signal, I don't get new messages, or notifications.

• list itemOr did I misunderstand?

@hummlbach Can you please help?

Looking in the ~/.cache/upstart/dbus.log I found sound goes to pause when I don't hear the sound ringing.

When the sound is normal I see in the logfile it is playing:

Well posting gives an error. look it up in Logviewer

The Logviewer app posts a form on pastebin. The value of the 'poster' of the form exceeds the limit off 30. This value is 36 characters and has a strange value: 'Ubuntu touch user 0.5739777 ...'

@lakotaubp said in Phone doesn't ring:

@thebird can you try the dev channel for a bit see if that helps

Thanks for your help, but that didn't do the trick. After 36 times calling the UT phone the problem appeared again.

@lakotaubp said in Phone doesn't ring:

@thebird can you try the dev channel for a bit see if that helps

Calling my phone 1/30 gives a no sound problem. So I'll try the dev channel now ...

I hope I can ask a question on this forum about one off the apps I installed. It's about the logviewer.

I would like to post a log on pastebin. If I hit the share-button, it says: Pastebin error. Error ocurred uploading to Pastebin. Any idea?

@advocatux said in Phone doesn't ring:

@thebird did that issue happen running OTA-7 on your device too?

Yes, it does

@kristatos said in Phone doesn't ring:

But in my opinion the bug was there from beginning on.

I agree, first I wasn’t sure about it. So it’s since the phone was released, since Ubuntu Touch Canonical Ltd.

Once in a while the phone does not ring, it does vibrate. Also, the screen lights up, showing who is calling etc. So everything is working like it should, but no sound. Then the next caller the sound is back to normal. The problem appears three times in a week or so.

I haven't been able to reproduce this bug. It just appears and goes.
On a night shift I realy need the sound!

There my questions:

• do you recognize this problem?
• any idea how to fight this problem, where to go next? For example, what logs should I check?

I don’t know when this problem appeared, I mean, what OTA.

Now using OTA 7 rc, BQ Aquaris E4.5

The great news is, the bug is fixed! You can already test it in dev mode. Here is the link to the bug on Github. There you can see Mariogrib solved it.
See this on Github

Very, very happy with this fix.

@that_rin said in No phone network 16.04:

Sorry if I seem like I am complaining. Love the phone os Just wondering if others have this same issue it if its just me.

Your problem is not the problem this topic is about. The topic is not about losing signal in some area, but after ending a phone call. You'll see 'no network' in the phone app. The signal indecator looks just fine.

Perhaps you should start a new topic with the subject weak signal in some areas.

@advocatux said in Howto comment on an app?:

in most cases it isn't really necessary because all the code is already packaged inside the webapp

Great! Didn't know this but indeed when you download the clickable, the code is just inside. Thanks

@matteo said in Howto comment on an app?:

I think that one day, when this OS will become more mature, it will be introduced also the rating/comment feature

We 'll just have to wait for that then. Then what I would like to see is every app has a source code URL filled in. The source code should be required.

please in future can you remove any text etc.you no longer want when editing posts

@advocatux @Lakotaubp Ok, I'll do that next time

@advocatux said in Description of new updates:

In short, no, there isn't official changelogs as such.

Ok, clear. Thanks

Does anyone know howto comment / rate on an app (not a bug report)? Can't find it in the app-store.

Does anyone know where to find a description of the new updates we receive very frequently ? I am on 16.04 dev.
Today there was version 170

@3arn0wl It is about the 6s Iphone?
