Two questions if I may ask:
1 - How would it be possible to lower the minimum screen brightness?
2 - Would it be possible to have a full-screen function like the F11 function there is on Ubuntu Desktop? This would allow to display more lines to read on the web browser by hiding the web page address at the top of the screen. This would be particularly handsome in landscape mode.
There are a number of threads about the loss of WiFi password after reboot of the Nexus 5 and of the BQ M10 but not much about the same problem on the MEIZU Pro 5 apart from https://forums.ubports.com/topic/708/meizu-pro5-fastboot-mode-locked
I have a MEIZU Pro 5 with 4GB of RAM and Ubuntu Touch 16.04 UBports OTA-7. This is not the Ubuntu Touch edition. This phone came with Flyme OS and I installed Ubuntu on it. I need to re-enter the WiFi password after reboot.
The way this problem occurs is strange because the password is not completely lost. If I open the Settings, go to Wi-Fi and then to the list of Previous networks, my access point is still there and it does have the password. The problem is that when I select this access point in this list, the only option I have is to Forget this network. I can't enable the connection from the list of previous networks.
In order to connect to this access point, I have to select it from the current list of networks from which the password is lost. Once I enter again the password, the list of Previous networks creates a new entry with the same network name albeit with the suffix " 1" added to it. If I reboot again and do the same thing, a new entry appears once again, this time with the suffix " 2". And so on with the suffixes 3, 4, 5, etc...
Has anyone found out how to fix the problem since the thread mentioned above?
Usually recent mobile phones don't run UT because it takes time to port the software onto them. So I am surprised that the port to the OnePlus 6T was so quick. What happened then?
Has anyone tested convergence on this beast of 8GB of RAM? This could be an ideal device for use as a desktop computer.
Shall we ever be able to boot from a mainline kernel and from an SD card on Android devices?
@3t_ed Yes I have experienced issues with the keyboard too.
@kugiigi You are right. Thanks.
Alright, I did find a file /home/phablet/.cache/libertine/puritine/PuritineSymlinkFarm.json and I deleted it. I don't know why I couldn't see it with find.
Yes I know I have to replace CONTAINER-IDENTIFIER with the identifier of my container, i.e. xenial.
~root refers to /root.
I have found the following text files which I deleted:
/.local/share/unity-scopes/unconfined/libertine-scope.ubuntu_libertine-scope/.surfacing_cache
/.local/share/unity-scopes/unconfined/clickscope/.surfacing_cache
But still no change, even after reboot. It seems that the container is very much contained and unbreakable! But don't worry, I am going to reinstall UT anyway.
Thank you to all for your help.
All Ubuntu Touch apps store user data in ~/.local/share/app-name/. It is impossible to open a file stored for instance in ~/Documents/.
One way around this would be to create a symbolic link:
$ ln -s ~/Document/data-file ~/.local/share/app-name/link-to-data-file
Unfortunately, opening such a link with an app yield an empty file. However, if the data file were in the same directory as the link, then opening the link would yield the full non empty file. That is, if the link is created as:
$ ln -s ~/.local/share/app-name/data-file ~/.local/share/app-name/link-to-data-file
then everything works fine.
It seems that Ubuntu Touch apps are blind to the directory tree. Does anybody know a way around this problem? How could one choose where to store data files and not be restricted to ~/.local/share/app-name/ ?
@BrisPete Thanks BrisPete. I should have found out by myself instead of starting a new thread... Sorry.
UT Tweak Tool themes have no effect on the brightness of apps.
@domubpkm I have removed µAdBlock with UT Tweak Tools and the problem persists even after reboot...
Thanks @domubpkm but I had removed the uAdBlock app long before the problem appeared. I have now reinstalled it and altered the list you mention to no avail...
For a while, the Morph browser refuses to connect to some web sites like twitter.com and facebook.com. These addresses give me the following message:
Network Error
It appears you are having trouble viewing: https://twitter.com/.
Error:net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Please check your network settings and try refreshing the page.
However I can connect to these web sites without problem through the same router with my PC. Any idea what's going wrong?
@3t_ed No I haven't installed Launcher Modular.
May I ask what the connection with the Morph browser is?
@3t_ed Yes I have experienced issues with the keyboard too.
Since about OTA-12, the Morph browser tends to freeze partially.
For instance, I cannot scroll up or down in some of my opened tabs. This problem disappears after I restart the OS and then reappears later on.
Has anyone experienced the same issue?
@mito77 OnePlus 6T is only 2 1/2 years old and has a whooping 6 or 8GB of RAM! You can still buy a brand new one.
@ubuntoutou I have now managed to make the Microsoft Wireless Adapter work on another external display but the ubuntu desktop is compressed vertically. It does not occupy the whole screen so that the desktop is distorted. Furthermore, it is blur...
I have tried a Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter for convergence with a Meizu Pro 5. The phone says it is connecting to this adapter but ends up with failure. Any idea why?
The situation in the European Union is not the same as in the United States.
