      @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...

      Software Patents in Europe - again...

      @emphrath In Europe, software patents are not legal but in spite of this, the IPO (European Patent Office) does not hesitate to register them even if they have no effect in the European courts.

      It is a battle that has been going on for a long time in order not to arrive at the very harmful situation that prevails in the USA (or, for that matter, a reverse movement to start opposing it exists).

      More information about that on FFII (Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure) website.

      It turns out that the SunshineTronic SlimPort adapter is not fake. It does works... on the Nexus 7 but not on the Nexus 5, at least not on my monitor and TV.

      However the resolution sent by the phone to my PC monitor does not match the resolution of the monitor itself, leading to a strange horizontally stretched rendering that is not very usable.

      Well, I'd say it works for most of the apps: Dekko2, Filemanager, OpenStore, UTTT, OSM Scout server, Contacts, Notes, Weather uMPD, calculator etc. etc... Even Morph has a dark frame... In others you can switch the layout - Sturm Reader, EpubViewer, Document Viewer, Writer...

      @arubislander

      Thanks arubisander. I think we have nailed it. On a nexus 7, the "Help" app works. It does not crash but it opens an error message:

      Document Not Found The URI 'help:ubuntu-help/index' does not point to a valid page.

      However, the app shows a working menu with "Find... | Print... | Previous Page | Next Page | All Help". Clicking on "All Help" opens a page with the following items:

      AisleRiot Manual Gnome Help
      A guide for GNOME 3 desktop users GNOME System Administration Guide
      A guide for GNOME 3 system administrators

      I think this Help app was installed automatically as a dependency to AisleRiot Solitaire which may be a GNOME app. This "Help" probably doesn't have all the documentation that could come with it. Hence the error message.

      I still don't know why it crashes on a nexus 5 though.

      @enrolado There are no scopes any more, and that does not apply to the app drawer.

      Thanks @advocatux and @Lakotaubp. Using Ubuntu 19.04 and UB Ports Installer, I've been able to install 16.04 OTA9 on my bq M10 HD, at last.

      However, whereas using bq's Ubuntu 15.04 OTA5(?) allowed me to at least browse the internet, but little else, I now have the original problem back. The bq appears to connect to the WiFi but I cannot get a network connection, so no updates, no browser etc.

      I've tried 2 different WiFis and have performed a reset. (Settings Reset Erase and Reset all.) This has made no difference as neither WiFi will work. Although it says it has connected to my Bluetooth keyboard, it has not given a code to type and the keyboard isn't working with the bq10. It seems that the wifi and bluetooth issues are connected.

      Is there a WiFi/bluetooth I/O problem with the OTA 8 & 9 and the bq M10 HD? Is there anything else I can try?

      Edit. Reading wifi bqm10 it seems that this is an old, but unsolved, issue. However, I don't understand why wifi worked well for months then suddenly stopped. Only installing bq's original Ubuntu did I get it back, but that is such a limited OS.

      Edit 2: I can connect through a third modem, a mobile MiFi, so I'm up and running. Thanks for all your help.

      This was happening to me on a Nexus 5 with latest stable release.

      The container installed fine but the package install process was just spinning with no activity in the log (the one provided by the system menu).

      The interface would still successfully install and remove other packages, but the one was perpetually stuck.

      Opening the file browser app and simply deleting the contents of the above listed folders (no terminal commands needed), and rebooting fixed the issue. It did delete the entire container though... so I'm glad there was no important data in it.

      @ubuntoutou that warning message means or that you have installed in your device a non-xenial app (i.e. a vivid one) or that you have installed an app non-published-yet in the OpenStore (the latter is a pretty common scenario when beta-testing apps straight from the developers repos).

      @ckonstantinos
      I found RR-N-v5.8.5-20171212-m86 worked very well.
      never tried dual boot.
      much prefer Ubports now ,, it is becoming a much more polished/smoother OS, and more apps as the days go by

      @ubuntoutou No, unconfined apps can read/write to most any location where the user has filesystem level permissions. However, such apps require manual review, and this is not an appropriate way to implement what you are trying to solve. It would also be an incredible annoyance for yourself, if you wanted to try to rebuild every app you install to be unconfined, every time they get updated.

      @totalsonic said in New browser excessively zoomed-in:

      My own website http://www.totalsonic.net is zoomed in slightly too much with Morph - but it displays correctly sized in Android (in both mobile versions of Chrome and Firefox) and in the old UT Oxide based browser.

      Can you add your experience to github issue, please? If for some reason you can't, notice me, I will add it myself. Thank you.
