@AppLee Thanks for the info, I had a feeling it might be something like that! Not to worry, I've been contacted by another moderator who may insert the link.
Actually, I'm not new here. I signed in about two years ago but because I left for a short while my history counts for nothing I found out. So I'm starting over...
I kept getting a 'spam error' from Akismet which prevented the placing of a link in a new post. For now I have just posted without the link. Can this be fixed please?
@CiberSheep Thanks @CiberSheep , I'll have another go tomorrow. I'm really struggling with the pinephone at the moment and I've always been useless at navigating in ubuntu, terminal etc! Seem to forget things quicker than learning them these days, hi-ho.
The reason I asked is kind of academic because I solved my dilemma by simply making a recording of the sound I wanted and used that.
@Stef7773 Hi There. It looks like you're doing everything right from what you say. I'm going to take a guess that you have noticed that the recovery screen comes on whilst phone still plugged into pc and the ubports installer still running and have thought you need to do something? If this is indeed what's happening then you should do nothing when the recovery screen presents itself on the phone, it's part of the process; just allow it to continue to completion.
PS If I don't say this someone else will 
: no need to post the same question in two places on the forum it doesn't make it more visible. You would be helping if you removed your other post.
@Tellina Thanks for the link, I'll have to try later. I've got the motherboard of this phone out on the desk for attempting to fix a hardware issue! If all goes well, I'll be back.
Can't open attachments in email. The file is displayed at the bottom of the message but it can't be selected, nothing happens. Is this a known issue anybody?
@CiberSheep Thanks again; I got there in the end.
Location was: /usr/share/sounds/ubports/notifications/

I cannot find in the file manager the location of notification sounds or ringtones. Are they actually available as files?
@3T_Ed Interesting article, food for thought indeed! It was quite long so I found myself skimming for the last 10,000 words or so (I'm kidding!) but actually I could see a lot of sense there. I thought it described quite well the reasons for starting from the ground up to save work later on.
I find myself thinking about purism in a slightly different way now.
I actually thought the author came across as neutral and balanced, without putting anybody down. Yes, very interesting, thanks for the link.
@jesica I found these instructions from Pine64 to be an easy set up

EDIT: But I've just re-read them; may only be effective in dev channel, not sure.
@Opolork said in DistroWatch Poll: Do you own a Linux-powered phone? - UBports is a choice.:
Hi @ziggutas. I don't see what's complicated about it.
Not saying it's complicated. My comment was directed at the website content. Following your link to the article is ok and they ask for feedback; but no hint as to how! I was expecting to click on a counter or something like that.
Anyway, your post has stirred up some results for UT so that's the main thing!
@Keneda Clear as mud, isn't it?
I looked at last weeks edition of distrowatch and it asked one to post a comment in the box at the bottom of the page to respond. So I've done that and will check the stats later!
EDIT: Flo has gone to a new home now.
I've not used this tablet for a long time so it is for sale. Open to offers.
