Maybe try instructions discussed here:
https://forums.ubports.com/post/14885

Check that the fix is even needed (may already be using ubuntu.espoo) -- run in the terminal:

$ ps aux | grep [l]ocation-service | grep provider

root 987 0.0 0.5 146540 9852 ? Ssl 19:19 0:00 /usr/bin/ubuntu-location-serviced --bus system --provider gps::Provider --provider remote::Provider --remote::Provider::name=com.ubuntu.espoo.Service.Provider --remote::Provider::path=/com/ubuntu/espoo/Service/Provider

Like above, if you see ubuntu.espoo in the output, then the fix is already in place
The fix below only works if you see wolfpack.geoclue2
Run the following commands from the terminal:

(Optional) Save a copy of the file to your home directory

$ cp /etc/init/ubuntu-location-service.override ~

Make the root partition writable

$ sudo mount -o remount,rw /

The following command changes wolfpack.geoclue2 to ubuntu.espoo in both places in the file

$ sudo sed -i -e 's:wolfpack(.)geoclue2:ubuntu\1espoo:' /etc/init/ubuntu-location-service.override

(Optional) Check that the changes have been made successfully

$ grep espoo /etc/init/ubuntu-location-service.override
opts="$opts --remote::Provider::name=com.ubuntu.espoo.Service.Provider"
opts="$opts --remote::Provider::path=/com/ubuntu/espoo/Service/Provider"

@TotalSonic said in New Launcher, edge channel.:

I think the ultimate plan (or at least one possible one) is to allow people to place widgets and launchers on the wallpaper background as if it was a "home" (same as if it was a non-vanilla-Gnome-3 desktop) - but that this will take time to code and the need to streamline the code and image size to what can be easily maintained makes the first step of getting rid of Scopes one that will have to happen in order to make any forward progress from there.

It has been an idea that a few people have mentioned. There is currently no plan to do it (nor do I think should there be, as it's not a convergent feature).

I don't see why allowing icons and widgets on a "home" background (whether mobile, tablet, or desktop) would be consodered "not a convergent feature" when that feature is an integral part of most OS's in all 3 form factors. I do agree that coding that feature to be truly convergent would likely be difficult, and as such should not be a priority for the UBports team.

There is a new native Telegram client in development called "TELEports" that you can install the beta via the Open Store. It is snappier and smoother than the previous native Telegram app, and also enables editing. It is still missing some features but should see some updates fairly soon. Other than that, "WebTelegram" also gets you a good client for the online web version. As for lack of video chat - that currently a problem for all of UT and not just isolated to Telegram. This is also an issue that is being worked on but might take two or more OTA updates until we see a fix as the problem is complex and likely needs also some updates from upstream to correct.

Many apps that are in the repository currently do NOT work in Libertine. Chromium is one of them - it crashes on launch and there currently is no fix.
The only desktop browsers I was able to get to semi-function in Libertine are Qupzilla and Dooble.
You might also be able to install Firefox via the instructions found at https://blog.arubislander.nl/2018/10/running-firefox-in-1604-libertine.html?m=1
&
https://github.com/jdonald/firefox-armhf/releases - but it is also very slow and prone to crashing in my experience.

Hopefully this will get fixed in some future updates - but currently UT developers are working on other priorities instead.

I regularly send out to a Blue tooth receiver hooked up to external DAC / amp / speakers - it works with no problems with my OnePlus One. Bluetooth transmission tends to degrade the audio a little bit though - but being able to send to better speakers makes a dramatic improvement over phone speakers.

Synaptic does not work in Libertine unfortunately (neither does muon or ubuntu-software-center in my tests). Libertine-container-manager is the only package manager which is able to install, update or remove packages in the Libertine container - and you can access it via the Terminal or you can access it via the gui found under System Settings . However - lubuntu-software-center package does install correctly and can be used to browse what packages are available in the repositories (although can not be used to install those packages).

@baruchiro said in Add Ubuntu GUI software icon to Scope:

Is it possible to run programs designed for Ubuntu Desktop without Libertine?

Simple answer to your question: no.

You can install programs in the Terminal using the libertine-container-manager commands.
Documentation on how to do this is at http://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/libertine.html
and https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/libertine-container-manager.1.html

Recently acquired a Nexus 7 2013 LTE version (deb) and did a new install of UT on it. So far all seems as expected with it however:

• Camera app crashes on launch
• The File Manager does not use the new folder icons that were updated with OTA9 (which are present in my OnePlus One now) - it continues to use the old set.

Also - I had chosen RC channel for the install - but that gave me 2019-W11 on the install and trying to manually update did not give me one. Instead in order to get to OTA9 I had to change to Stable channel - which then downloaded and installed OTA9.

Anyway - have to say I really enjoy UT on a 7" form factor, and despite the Nexus 7's six year old cpu and only 2gigs ram things actually run fairly decently on it.
