Yes, you need to install that package:
sudo apt install android-tools-adb

@vandys
wow, perfect!!
Because with YouTube Red, the creators will also have a small income. That's cool what you are doing! Way better than blocking ads and not giving anything back.
The thing is, in Germany/Europe and many other other places, YouTube Red is not available by law.
So the only thing you can do, to support the video creators is to watch or click the ads.

@advocatux said in Ad blocking:

or make you squander your time waiting for a video ad to stop, etc.

Come on, just be fair. The video creator is investing many hours and days, sometimes weeks to create a video.
And you like to tell me, that you will losing 10 Seconds of your lifetime for a commercial with that you will support the video creator, to make them pay the bills?
Without commercial YouTube will not be for free. Thinḱ about, the servers alone costs thousands of dollars every day for Google and this is 99% paid by Ads only.
In USA you can already pay for YouTube, to have it without ads. It's called YouTube Red: https://www.youtube.com/red
Are you willing to pay for it?

@advocatux
What kind of security measure with ads?
Ads are just regular websites shown in a browser. It can only contain the same "malicious" code, that every other website can have too. So if this is a security risk, you should block all websites. ;)
Ads are annoying, but block them all is not a fair use...
But yes you are right, a ad blocker on a touch device would be nice.

Ad blocking is nice, but you always have to remember, that most developer don't have any income, with the exception of ads.
Instead of removing all ads, you should support the developers by clicking on the ads.
Yes I agree with you, that some websites are really overloaded with ads. But for example on YouTube, most creators investing a huge time for each video and there is no other income than the ads and when you click on it.
The other side is, that nobody likes to pay for the information, so the only possibility for most of them is to create a small income by ads.

probably somewhere here: http://system-image.ubports.com/
check the magic-device-tool

@cpb
It depends what you like to use for downloading.
With the wget command you can do that.
wget https://server.com/path/to/your/image.img
to continue the download:
wget --continue https://server.com/path/to/your/image.img
or
wget -c https://server.com/path/to/your/image.img

It's a cool website, the whole project it looks much more professional now!
Well done and great work!

@ZeroPointEnergy
ARM processor don't have a PCI bus, so there is no auto detection ;-)
Because of that, you can not build a life system on a boot medium (USB flash drives/CD/DVD) running on all ARM devices, like you know it for example from Knoppix Linux.
It will only run on one specific device and hardware. If you change hardware, it will not work anymore.

@sverzegnassi said in Ubuntu for mobile devices post mortem analysis by Simon Raffeiner:

I'm a bit disappointed for the consequences for the people who worked on the project, but returning to GNOME is the wisest decision they could take.

Well, my opinion is, that the Unity desktop was a great thing and for me the best desktop experience ever. The main problem was, that it was dictated by Canonical and not by the community. That's why a lot of people get pissed off, not to be asked about their opinion. Additionally it was Ubuntu only it was not available on other distributions.
I am sure, now that it is a open source community driven project, it will become successful, even on other linux distributions.

But I think also, that Gnome will now include a lot of things in their desktop, coming from Unity.
Especially, that you will have borderless maximized windows, without title bar and regular windows without extra menu bar.
No other desktop can give you that much usable space on your desktop like Unity.
Everytime I am using Gnome on my computer, I am very shocked, how small the usable desktop is and why wasting space for fat title bars and extra menu bars?

Time will come and Gnome will also convert to that desktop style, to have a better usability.
But then it's not a Canonical thing anymore, it's community driven to have that style.
