wozencroftBraillynn I see. I just cannot get myself to trust a company like G or A. Hence it's nice to have alternatives like ubports00:16

ubptgbot<hacker12455> Oh10:54
ubptgbot<hacker12455> It's mentioned twice10:54
ubptgbot<j2g2rp> I assume that on Ubuntu touch should say (forked to Ubuntu Touch by Ubports comunity)?10:58

ubptgbot<advocatux> IIRC someone tried to edit and improve those wiki pages some months ago but wikipedia moderators blocked that initiative11:05

wozencroftIt's really fun to play around with ubports. Was searching around, if I'm not mistaken, at this point of time there is no wireguard, no jami, no fmradio, no newpipe and no osmand but there are mostly alternatives. I suppose uNav might be the best for maps (without gmaps)11:40

ubptgbot<libremax> Do you use file manager : https://open-store.io/app/com.ubuntu.filemanager12:45
ubptgbot<libremax> [Edit] Do you use file manager : https://open-store.io/app/com.ubuntu.filemanager ?12:46
ubptgbot<ParamAtma108> I just tried the file manager that came with Ubuntu.13:14
ubptgbot<Mikeee_128> @Tea [<reply to media>], Please reflash ur device with stock rom.. or if u have applied any memory partition .. please reparations to stock...  β€¦ Reason of abouve error is ..less memory in cache partition...

ubptgbot<Mikeee_128> @Tea [bq aquaris E5, original ubuntu edition … and laptop-wise: ubuntu 18.04], Try to reflash your device ..stock rom of android13:36
ubptgbot<dohbee> @Mikeee_128 [Try to reflash your device ..stock rom of android], bq devices must have Ubuntu Edition image on them before UT can be flashed13:40
ubptgbot<libremax> @ParamAtma108 [I just tried the file manager that came with Ubuntu.], It's the same. And you can't see any files or drirectories ?13:41
ubptgbot<libremax> At least you should have five standard directories : documents, Downloads, Lusic, Pictures and Videos.13:45
ubptgbot<Mikeee_128> @dohbee [bq devices must have Ubuntu Edition image on them before UT can be flashed], Yes they do have.. but u giys are facing this issue bcz of ..ur cache memory required more space so reface it with the stock or .. using fastboot try to clean userdata and cache partition13:46
ubptgbot<ParamAtma108> Yes, those directories are there with nothing in them.13:47
ubptgbot<libremax> Did you use Unlock to see if you can explore "My Device" and find your files elsewhere (doubtful) ?13:50
ubptgbot<ParamAtma108> No. I will try that next time. For now I recovered my android system. Thanks.13:51

ubptgbot<dohbee> @Mikeee_128 [Yes they do have.. but u giys are facing this issue bcz of ..ur cache memory req …], reflashing android won't help, because it has a different partition layout from the Ubuntu Edition of the phone. but not knowing what channel one is trying to install makes it difficult to help as well. for example, if it's edge channel, the i15:08

ubptgbot<John (Marlin)> @dohbee [it's also completely feasible to support UT and help it get better, using it on …], The lack of specific Android apps can be compensated for to a large extent by using an organization's website instead of their app, but the main things that prevent UT from being my primary phone are the lack of sharing bookmarks with Firefo15:36

ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> @Mikeee_128 [Thanks dalton.. if i am not wrong it will take around 1 to 2 months], Nah, shouldn't be that long. We're waiting on the camera issues to get cleaned up right now15:52
ubptgbot<dohbee> @John (Marlin) [The lack of specific Android apps can be compensated for to a large extent by us …], to be fair though, "complete dark mode" doesn't exist on android either. even in Q which has a more pervasive dark mode setting, most apps still have their own "branded" coloring15:53
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> @VkProhack [I mean mobile used for hacking], I'm sorry, but this group probably won't be very useful to you for that15:53
ubptgbot<VkProhack> Ok15:53

ubptgbot<dohbee> @VkProhack [Which device you use to install Ubuntu], https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io is the list of supported devices for installing Ubuntu Touch on. however, it is not at all like having Ubuntu for PC on your phone15:55
ubptgbot<VkProhack> @dohbee [https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io is the list of supported devices for installing …], Thank you it was nice list. In your opinion which one is good. Which one mostly recommend15:58
ubptgbot<John (Marlin)> @dohbee [to be fair though, "complete dark mode" doesn't exist on android either. even in …], True. Right now I'm compromising with Fennec F-Droid. At least it has dark reader mode, but not dark on the home page or sites that have no reader mode. Kiwi is all black, but he doesn't strip Google. Bromite strips Google but is otherwise16:01
ubptgbotstock Chromium. So I'm happy with Fennec for the moment.16:01
ubptgbot<John (Marlin)> Nexus 5 UT is just sort of a standby phone at the moment, like if I break my daily driver, and it lets me play with UT as updates come out.16:01
ubptgbot<John (Marlin)> UT at least motivated me to keep the Nexus 5 instead of selling it off.16:02
ubptgbot<John (Marlin)> @VkProhack [Thank you it was nice list. In your opinion which one is good. Which one mostly …], People seem to like the Meizu Pro 5 and One Plus One best.16:05
ubptgbot<John (Marlin)> A fair number of us are on Nexus 5.16:05

ubptgbot<John (Marlin)> @dohbee [yeah, if you mean dark mode on web, that's a much more complicated problem even], Right. I've read Chrome and main Firefox are working on enforcing dark mode on all web pages like Kiwi does on Android. Also Android users are enforcing dark mode in apps with substratum. That's not as important of an issue on UT for me as sha16:12

ubptgbot<dohbee> you will have to find whatever is available in your region. not all of the devices are available everywhere.16:49
ubptgbot<VkProhack> Ya that's what. I'm not getting in my country16:50
ubptgbot<VkProhack> Anyone wanna sell16:51
ubptgbot<dohbee> i think none of the devices are available as new anywhere. you'd have to buy one second hand, and probably from ebay or similar for your country16:55

ubptgbot<naszsrem> 855km using uNav navigation. I have traveled without any problems from Legoland in Denmark to Poland :) Thanks for uNav and UBports.20:53
ubptgbot<naszsrem> uNav has minor errors, but it's still great navigation.20:53
ubptgbot<naszsrem> [Edit] uNav has minor bugs, but it's still great navigation.20:54
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> That's excellent!  I would love to see uNav get some feature enhancements which would make it easier for driving with it through unknown areas while alone - namely for it to say the street name that is to be turned onto.20:56

ubptgbot<naszsrem> It would be fantastic to know that the project is developing, but Marcos Costales (Author) probably focuses only on possible bugs, if any.21:03
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @Blake Carrington [It would be great if the gps worked so uNAv could work. I still haven't managed …], These problems seem to be device and region specific currently - uNav works well for me on my Meizu Pro 5, but was more problematic on my OnePlus One.  But - there is in fact a bunch of work being done by Marius currently to make gps21:03
ubptgbotwork better for UT at the OS level.  Hopefully that will hit around OTA-1121:03

ubptgbot<TotalSonic> I actually got a Garmin for my car as a fall back when I was just relying on the OnePlus One.  But having this made reliable without the need to get another device would be a boost to UT's usability as a daily driver for a lot of folks21:19

ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> Hey I’m new to ubports and just loved the whole idea of convergence with nexus 5 series. I got myself a nexus 5 and 5x is on route. Quick question I wondered if there was a simple answer to. If I connect the slim port to nexus 5 I’m aware I can charge nexus by using the port on the slim port and Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Is t21:30
ubptgbothere a way to access a pen drive whilst outputting to hdmi. I’m guessing I’d need a powered micro usb hub to achieve all this?21:30
ubptgbot<dohbee> no, not with any micro-usb based devices21:34
ubptgbot<dohbee> it would require separate port for video and usb to do that21:35
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> So here’s my thinking nexus 5 to powered micro usb hub - usb pen drive ?21:35
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> Will this not work?21:35
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> And then another port from the hub to slimport to output to hdmi21:36
ubptgbot<dohbee> you can't do OTG and SlimPort at same time, no21:36
ubptgbot<dohbee> it is a limitation of the hardware21:36
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> Ok thanks!21:49
ubptgbot<judicialdomicide> Maybe a raspberry pi 4 then and some kind of network share. I’ll figure it out. Thanks.21:49
wozencroftStrange... you enter a valid date, like 05 05 1999 or whatever - and the app says "please enter a valid date" :)23:21
wozencroftIt was mentioned that GPS with uNav does not work on Nexus5 but actually it does work for me, also with openstreetmap23:53
