ubptgbot<TotalSonic> I actually really appreciate the almost zen minimalism of the UT "home" - it doesn't get littered with widgets and virtual billboards like Android does07:50
ubptgbot<Javacookies> virtual billboards … I like that term 😄08:04

ubptgbot<Sanath> @qwertybyte [hey, does anyoone know how to get xfce or kde or any other ui other than ubuntu …], Currently UT does nit supported xfce or kde. If you are interested there other projects hybris-mobian which uses phosh(gnome phone shell) or postmarket os (supports  phosh,kde)09:40
ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> Much obliged.09:40
ubptgbot<qwertybyte> Basically i am not using my old phone at all(poco f1), I want to use my phone as raspberry pi,I dont even need gui.I did apt upgrade from then the ui stoped showing up but am still able to use it via ssh with cable and i followed a method to reverse tethetter internet to phone from pc and i have installed all my required stuff(apache,j09:42

ubptgbot<Sanath> @qwertybyte [today i will install postmarket os but i need ubuntu so i am using ubuntu touch], Mostly you will have to stick to current UT interface then🙂09:47
ubptgbot<qwertybyte> any way to use wifi?09:47
ubptgbot<Sanath> Which device are you using?09:52
ubptgbot<Sanath> @qwertybyte [any way to use wifi?], Which device are you using?09:53

ubptgbot<qwertybyte> atleast if i get which package is interfearing with wifi will hold it10:01
ubptgbot<Javacookies> you shouldn't update via apt. There's a big possibility for the system to break … you can refresh your system without losing data by using the UBports installer or switching to another channel10:51

ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @qwertybyte [do you know any other method to install debian or ubuntu on android other than c …], no the chroot is the closest you can get, on ubuntu touch you could try libertine and see if it fits your needs11:10

ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @qwertybyte [and can you install ubuntu rootfs using postmarket method], you can try if you want, lomiri runs on postmarket os too11:11

ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Praveen7682 [I havnt tried it..i am not sure whether it will work..so wanted to check], but no microsoft hasn't ported their authenticator app to ubtouch, anbox does have camera access so  i doubt that can be set up13:07

ubptgbot<Sanath> @Fuseteam [we have an issue tracker where feature requests are filed, yes 👀], Do you mean this : https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues ?13:55
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> @Sanath [Does UT has a wishlist page similar to this? https://wiki.mobian-project.org/dok …], Note that these types of pages usually aren't helpful for the community or the developers. There are always plenty of ideas for what to do, but not enough people to make them happen.13:58
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Sanath [Do you mean this : https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues ?], yes that :313:58
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> The most effective way to get what you want is to, well, make it happen13:58

ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> I appreciate your sentiment, but I try to keep a pretty good handle on what people think is missing, and how many people care enough about that thing to make it a reality.14:01
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Sanath [Yes , but I will help developers find out whats missing.What users are wishing f …], [Edit] isn't that what the issue trackers are for?14:01
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> For example... What do you think is missing, Sanath? :)14:01
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> ^^14:02
ubptgbot<Javacookies> yeah I think feature requests in github/gitlab will do the same purpose14:02
ubptgbot<Sanath> @UniversalSuperBox [For example... What do you think is missing, Sanath? :)], perhaps something like shareit.that lest to transfer files between UT phone and and android phone.14:04
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Have you tried Bluetooth File Transfer?14:04
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> It still might not be built for arm64. Maybe you would be the one to build it and fix it so everyone can use it?14:04
ubptgbot<Mark> Just install Ubuntu touch on Nexus 6p. What email app are people using? Gmail account is what I use..14:06
ubptgbot<Sanath> @UniversalSuperBox [Have you tried Bluetooth File Transfer?], yes but does in not use bluetooth only?Bluetooth seems to be slower.I am not sure what shareit use wifi direct perhaps.14:07
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> It is, but it's a start.14:07
ubptgbot<Sanath> @UniversalSuperBox [It is, but it's a start.], I know UT team & community has been doing great job.I just felt if we could have recorded in simpler manner perhaps it will be easier.14:09
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> There are many forum threads and issue posts which request a wishlist of apps. But generally, new contributors aren't looking at them to decide what they're going to do next.14:12
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> At the same time, if you make a post on the forum saying "I'm making <app that you want to make>, here is some code, can someone help me with <specific problem>" you'll probably get a useful response14:12

ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @H@ñß9ñ [365 days isn't enough? :)], not when you have only 5-ish core devs14:28
ubptgbot<Braillynn> @UniversalSuperBox [We're never short on ideas to make Ubuntu Touch better. But we are short on time …], What can the community do to improve that?14:29
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Braillynn [What can the community do to improve that?], contribute or interest contributors i would guess14:31
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> like the past year there were some cycles that had mostly community submitted PRs14:32
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> @Braillynn [What can the community do to improve that?], That's an eternal failure of the human condition, I'm afraid. :P … But on a smaller scale, do whatever it is you do. If you have an audience, tell them about Ubuntu Touch; what you love, what you don't like so much and how people could help fix it. If you're a developer an14:33
ubptgbotd you say "I hate this," try to fix it. There's plenty of people around to help. If you know multiple languages, translate.14:33
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> That kind of thing. Whatever your skills are, there's always something to do14:34
ubptgbot<Mark> @Fuseteam [sorry your question got a bit buried, the email client available on ubuntu touch …], Thanks.14:34
ubptgbot<Javacookies> to be fair, it seems like we are gaining more and more contributors in the past years14:34
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> We are! But somehow there are still more ideas than time!14:34
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> I definitely don't want to knock anything down here. We're going faster than we ever have, and we're accelerating. Three device releases last year, thousands of PRs (hundreds filed right now), there is a lot happening.14:35
ubptgbot<H@ñß9ñ> I really want to contribute but I don't have any knowledge14:35
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> I highly doubt that. I'm sure there's something that bugs you in Ubuntu Touch that I could help you fix14:36
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> he doesn't have a support device yet it seems14:38
ubptgbot<H@ñß9ñ> Yeah and my android phone also have bug and the manufacturer company take lot of month before the update14:40
ubptgbot<H@ñß9ñ> And now it still bug me with lag slowness and much more that why I want to use different os14:41
ubptgbot<NotKit> @Fuseteam [he doesn't have a support device yet it seems], he has Redmi 8 which should be fairly trivial to port14:41
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @NotKit [he has Redmi 8 which should be fairly trivial to port], not sure if mixing stuff up, but iirc he doesn't have a desktop computer yet to port14:42
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @NotKit [he has Redmi 8 which should be fairly trivial to port], [Edit] not sure if mixing stuff up, but iirc he doesn't have a desktop computer yet to port with14:42
ubptgbot<H@ñß9ñ> Yeah14:43
ubptgbot<H@ñß9ñ> Can't do it without a desktop or laptop14:44
ubptgbot<Flohack> @Javacookies [to be fair, it seems like we are gaining more and more contributors in the past …], What throws off contributors is the fact that UT is a multi-tier, multi-layered stack of tools, some taken from Ubuntu or Debian, some unique just for UT, on top of a ripped-out Android system which is a bit like Frankenstein *cough* :) - Wha14:45
ubptgbott I want to say, barely any hobbyist and free-time volunteer has experience with working in so many layers at the same time, even if its only for understanding. … Enter DBus. That´s a thing that normal developers for Apps and small desktop applications hardly ever see. And yet in UT its an integral part of the core system, which you need to underst14:45
ubptgbotand. Maybe we should offer more training on the basics than trying to teach how UT works. Not sure14:45
ubptgbot<NotKit> @H@ñß9ñ [Can't do it without a desktop or laptop], look at some places that sell used devices, you can get some basic one that runs Linux rather cheap nowadays14:45

ubptgbot<Sanath> @Flohack [What throws off contributors is the fact that UT is a multi-tier, multi-layered …], yes make more videos explaining various components of UT would help.14:47
ubptgbot<Braillynn> @Flohack [What throws off contributors is the fact that UT is a multi-tier, multi-layered …], Sounds like a good idea. Whatever can help people.14:47
ubptgbot<NotKit> @H@ñß9ñ [My country seem does not have any knowledge of Ubuntu touch], I mean laptops/desktops14:48
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Flohack [What throws off contributors is the fact that UT is a multi-tier, multi-layered …], a course how it all works does sounds like a plan yeah, this is also something the community could help with14:48
ubptgbot<H@ñß9ñ> @NotKit [I mean laptops/desktops], Ohh sorry I don't get you.😂14:48
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> @Flohack [What throws off contributors is the fact that UT is a multi-tier, multi-layered …], It's a matter of meeting people where they are. I don't think we'll ever be able to write an exhaustive guide for what's going on inside Ubuntu Touch (unless you sent me away for a couple months and let things run their course). But we14:48
ubptgbotcan help individual people trying to get started, with the specific problem they're having.14:48
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @H@ñß9ñ [Ohh sorry I don't get you.😂], he means an used laptops/desktop in this post https://t.me/ubports/32407014:50
ubptgbot<H@ñß9ñ> If you guys can made simple video with explanation and interactive video it would be great but it will take time14:50

ubptgbot<Sanath> @UniversalSuperBox [It's a matter of meeting people where they are. I don't think we'll ever be able …], Writing guides is often exhaustive. A Simple Video could help cover lots of stuff.14:52

ubptgbot<H@ñß9ñ> @Sanath [Writing guides is often exhaustive. A Simple Video could help cover lots of stuf …], Yes interactive video14:52
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Sanath [Writing guides is often exhaustive. A Simple Video could help cover lots of stuf …], video editing is even more time intensive14:53
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> it often takes a team14:53
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> If you're interested in making such content, I can help fill in any knowledge gaps you may have. But it takes me a full workday to do a 1-hour stream. So no, it's not really that quick.14:54
ubptgbot<Sanath> @UniversalSuperBox [If writing is exhausting, video editing kills :)], I saw some of the videos from a gnome developer.They were mostly unedited recording of youtube live session.They are not crisp & clean but they are very useful.14:54
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> if someone want to work on something like that i'm sure with the right questions it could be done 🤔14:54
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @UniversalSuperBox [If you're interested in making such content, I can help fill in any knowledge ga …], i'm honestly interested in editing such content, not sure about the content tho14:55
ubptgbot<Sanath> @UniversalSuperBox [If you're interested in making such content, I can help fill in any knowledge ga …], Sure.Would be happy join hands.14:56
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> where to start with such a content is the first question we need to ask to tho 🤔14:57
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Wherever you're interested.14:57
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> It doesn't really need a plan, just do and see where it goes.14:57
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> hmmm guess so, guess the explaination of the update system could be start, many people attempt to apt upgrade through14:59
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> [Edit] hmmm guess so, the explaination of the update system could be a start, many people attempt to apt upgrade through14:59
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Just as a quick reference, I logged about 100 hours of research leading up to my "Brickless Battery Saving with Ubuntu Touch" talk. Making well-researched video content is possible, just difficult. So start small :)15:00
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> hah true that how small would you suggest?15:02
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Seems like a loaded question. Seems like you could explain how to build and install a keyboard PR, though15:02
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> oh yeah that's good idea, i'll see how far i can get15:03
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> I did this a while ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqWbdPVAns015:03
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Yes, it took a full workday to prepare15:03
ubptgbot<Sanath> @Fuseteam [hmmm guess so, the explaination of the update system could be a start, many peop …], Yes that's could be a  good starting point15:06
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @UniversalSuperBox [Yes, it took a full workday to prepare], oh wow that's a big boi15:06
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> and why am i not subscibed to you, imma change that now15:07
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> The issue is explaining the why behind the how with image-based upgrades. The reason for image-based upgrades basically boils down to "we're making an OS that people don't need to worry about every day". In that discussion you could bring in why apps are confined, why they aren't installed with deb packages, and many more things15:08
ubptgbot.15:08
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Explaining the philosophy is just as important as the tech itself, since the tech is actually really boring.15:08
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> "We put rootfs in tarball"15:08
ubptgbot<Sanath> @UniversalSuperBox [Yes, it took a full workday to prepare], You don't need to prepare so much.just take a small topic for each video.just say what you know .I am sure you core team wil have some much knowledge.15:09
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> You'd think, wouldn't you? But generally I'm looking up most of what I know, too. :)15:09
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @UniversalSuperBox [The issue is explaining the why behind the how with image-based upgrades. The re …], uh well i wasn't going to go into the "why" but rather into the "how", like a "how do updates works? spoiler: not sudo apt upgrade"15:10
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> while it may be boring to have lecture about it a short video would be easy to refer to15:11
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> but i ain't experienced with video production, so i'll first  need to look into what i need to do for that keyboard pr video15:12
ubptgbot<Sanath> @Fuseteam [but i ain't experienced with video production, so i'll first  need to look into …], How about be we can start with live sessions?each live session based on some small topic.Initailly we need not focus on editing.If feel the current qa session quality is pretty good in most ways.That way you don't need to spend much time on editi15:15
ubptgbotng as well.15:15
ubptgbot<Javacookies> Let's Play Ubuntu Touch, Blind Codethrough Episode 115:22
ubptgbot<Sanath> May be a session after every q&a ?15:27
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> No, I'm already tired enough after the Q&A15:27
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Someone else could, but not us :P15:27
ubptgbot<NotKit> Sanath if there is something in particular you want to know, it's probably easier and more realistic to ask and research your way through15:40
ubptgbot<Sanath> @UniversalSuperBox [No, I'm already tired enough after the Q&A], Ya.i  understand 👍15:42
ubptgbot<alan_griffiths> @Sanath [May be a session after every q&a ?], A bit more expectation setting: … In this environment (and others like it) everyone is already doing as much as they can and focusing on what they find most important. … Don't expect them to find more time or drop what they are already doing for what you think is important. Just start d15:45
ubptgbotoing it and reasonable requests for guidance will be respected.15:45

ubptgbot<D0z1k> one thing im bothered with (beside boring stuff like making calls etc) is amazfit app for the smart watches15:48
ubptgbot<Sanath> @alan_griffiths [A bit more expectation setting: … In this environment (and others like it) everyo …], I really admire the work being done by everyone.my request is not drop everything and start working on what i feel is important.

ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @UniversalSuperBox [For example... What do you think is missing, Sanath? :)], Not Sanath - but the things I most want at the OS level are category based search and viewing for the App Drawer,  VoLTE support, and ability for Morph to use webapps that allow video and audio chat. Those are all big tasks to code though.17:27

ubptgbot<Javacookies> KDE connect would definitely be good to have but for now, I think SSH/SFTP is the best way to transfer files.17:54
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @LGeek [I use FTP and SFTP for file transfer between my devices, I can't live without it …], Yeah - support for KDE and GS Connect would be awesome to have, once again a developer that wants to tackle that task just needs to be found17:56

ubptgbot<TotalSonic> Thank you UBports team for the update to the camera app! Was not expecting to see that given how much work has had to be focused towards the Qt5.12 upgrade for OTA-1618:05
ubptgbot<NotKit> @Nabeel [Coz im trying to flash lineage 16.0...thats end with update error 7], why do you need to flash Lineage 16.0? You can flash stock 9.0 instead, then use UT installer18:09
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @TotalSonic [Not Sanath - but the things I most want at the OS level are category based searc …], ehhhh? categories in the drawer will work on unity, so someone familiar with unity could do that, Volte support is complicated as i know you already know, morphs webrtc requires a way for qtwebengine to communicate with the hardware :P18:33
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @LGeek [I use FTP and SFTP for file transfer between my devices, I can't live without it …], ftp and sftp just work afaik, kdeconnect is waiting on the migration to a new qt. it will likely be ported sometime after that migration is battle tested18:35
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @NotKit [why do you need to flash Lineage 16.0? You can flash stock 9.0 instead, then use …], they are probably trying the gsi image, some people seem to be pushing that even tho its outdated18:36
ubptgbot<Heng Ye> Does the keyboard work in the cosmo communicator port?19:00
Shadowbird2468I'd like to learn more about UT dialing software. Oneplus 5, port under development, doesn't have fully functioning phone call abilities yet. Could someone point me towards right direction, where I should start studying and looking into in all that stuff, in order to learn to help with the port development.19:09
ubptgbot<dohbee> @TotalSonic [Thank you UBports team for the update to the camera app! Was not expecting to se …], camera app update is part of the 5.12 upgrade work too, really :)19:25
ubptgbot<dohbee> not strictly needed i guess, but we decided we would land the gst-droid work in OTA16 along with 5.12, back at the beginning of the cycle :019:26

ubptgbot<TotalSonic> The only core default apps without an updated splash image are Media Player and File Manager now. We're getting closer to cohesive theming on that.19:35
ubptgbot<azubieta> Hello folks! … I've been working on a repack of a click app (the Dekko mail client) as an AppImage. Now I have working binaries that would like you to help me test on your phones :).  … The binaries can be found at: https://www.pling.com/p/1480604/ … And the source code at: https://www.opencode.net/azubieta/dekko-appimage … Thanks19:37
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @azubieta [Hello folks! … I've been working on a repack of a click app (the Dekko mail client …], Installing appimages is not supported on UT devices as far as I am aware of.19:38
ubptgbot<amyosx> Not rn19:39
ubptgbot<NotKit> @Heng Ye [Does the keyboard work in the cosmo communicator port?], yes, like normal HW keyboard19:39
ubptgbot<dohbee> well, tbf you don't "install" appimages anyway19:39
ubptgbot<azubieta> Maybe pinphone devices with other OS ?19:39
ubptgbot<azubieta> [Edit] @TotalSonic Maybe pinphone devices with other OS ?19:40
ubptgbot<dohbee> @azubieta [@TotalSonic Maybe pinphone devices with other OS ?], i guess you can ask in the pine64 pinephone group on matrix, or in their forum perhaps?19:40
ubptgbot<dohbee> are you contributing the changes back to the upstream at https://gitlab.com/dekkan/dekko  too?19:41
ubptgbot<NotKit> can also forward to @hybris_mobian19:41
ubptgbot<dohbee> oof, 182MB for amd6419:42
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Standard appimage19:42
ubptgbot<dohbee> sure19:42
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Etcher is 90MB and it only really has one job :)19:42
ubptgbot<azubieta> @dohbee [oof, 182MB for amd64], we had to pack half of UT there19:43
ubptgbot<amyosx> Lmao oof19:43
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @dohbee [well, tbf you don't "install" appimages anyway], True - better semantics would be "use" instead of "install"19:43
ubptgbot<dohbee> hmm. not sure if it's broken, but i don't get any window when i run it on my pc19:43
ubptgbot<azubieta> @dohbee [hmm. not sure if it's broken, but i don't get any window when i run it on my pc], it may take a while to load,19:44
ubptgbot<azubieta> @dohbee [hmm. not sure if it's broken, but i don't get any window when i run it on my pc], [Edit] it may take a while to load, if it doesn't kill it, run it again from the cli and please send me the logs :)19:45
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Hey @Javacookies, do you still have an MX4? Does it have wireless display?19:45
ubptgbot<dohbee> hmm, i should figure out how to build flatpak of authenticator-ng in gitlab ci19:47
ubptgbot<azubieta> does UT support flatpack and snaps ?19:51
ubptgbot<NotKit> Flatpak... installation is possible at least on Android 9 devices, but things like virtual keyboard will be missing19:53
ubptgbot<NotKit> *need Maliit plugin compiled in a similar way to https://github.com/flathub/org.kde.PlatformInputContexts.MaliitSailfishOS)19:53
ubptgbot<NotKit> [Edit] (need Maliit plugin compiled in a similar way to https://github.com/flathub/org.kde.PlatformInputContexts.MaliitSailfishOS)19:53
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @azubieta [does UT support flatpack and snaps ?], No it does not. It supports click, and arm64 or armhf deb via Libertine containers19:54
ubptgbot<Flohack> @NotKit [Flatpak... installation is possible at least on Android 9 devices, but things li …], If you answer a question like this in this group, please add "...without changiny anything" to it and then say just "no" 😆19:56
ubptgbot<dohbee> "yes, you can replace the ubuntu touch UI with something else by building your own custom images and maintaining your own distro, which is not called ubuntu touch"19:57
ubptgbot<NotKit> I just feel that this group considers too many things impossible when they aren't, just require some effort19:58
ubptgbot<NotKit> [Edit] I just feel that this group considers too many things impossible when they aren't, but require some effort19:58

ubptgbot<Flohack> @NotKit [I just feel that this group considers too many things impossible when they aren' …], The group has 3600 people here of all colors of dev experience, but mostly people that wont tinker so much to dive immediately into hacking. Please think about target audience, you can always invite tech-savy people to a developer group. I am not20:02
ubptgbot limiting people with such answers but try to make conversation efficient and realistic for what I feel is okay for the other party20:02
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @azubieta [does UT support flatpack and snaps ?], [Edit] No it does not. It supports click, and arm64 or armhf deb built for Xenial 16.04 via Libertine containers20:03
ubptgbot<NotKit> well, see the context, that question was from a person who compiled AppImages, so I don't think answer was out of place20:04
ubptgbot<Flohack> Or, even better, ask the other: "Do you want to get your hands dirty?" if the answer is yes, continue.20:04
ubptgbot<NotKit> [Edit] well, see the context, that question was from a person who compiled AppImages, so I don't think the answer was out of place20:04
ubptgbot<Flohack> @NotKit [well, see the context, that question was from a person who compiled AppImages, s …], Making AppImages and hacking our keyboard and other connectivity parts inside is still a big gap I would say20:05
ubptgbot<Flohack> Because, it wont stop at the keyboard.20:05
ubptgbot<Flohack> We want sound, location, sensors all of that goodness. Ah and please why not apt install20:05
ubptgbot<Flohack> Can you please be more like Mobian? Its so cool ^^20:05
ubptgbot<NotKit> sound should work out-of-box already with Pulse20:05
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> @Flohack [Can you please be more like Mobian? Its so cool ^^], A little over-the-top. Could leave it at "yes, if you want to get your hands dirty"20:06
ubptgbot<NotKit> location/sensors are a separate issue, true, but can be solved by compiling corresponding Qt plugins :)20:06
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Warranty's void20:06
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Obviously most people are installing from the OpenStore anyway20:06
ubptgbot<Flohack> @NotKit [location/sensors are a separate issue, true, but can be solved by compiling corr …], Well if I cannot install a snap or an AppImage as-is, there is no point in doing so. Better make a new fork and click it20:06
ubptgbot<NotKit> GTK+ apps mostly20:08
ubptgbot<NotKit> at least until we move to focal and have something more recent20:08
ubptgbot<starbuck2018> Snaps, appimages, flatpaks are still nice for apps like dekko (or other click apps) for people who cannot use click on their system.20:26
ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> @UniversalSuperBox [Hey @Javacookies, do you still have an MX4? Does it have wireless display?], My MX4's USB port has been dead for many months but AFAIK it never had wireless display. In fact dissatisfaction with that was the primary reason the eBay seller did business with me (I didn't mind it's absence). I ordered a new USB port21:33
ubptgbot (fixing three different Meizu devices is now a long-term project for me) for it and can definitively confirm once that's done and the device is fully updated.21:33
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> No wired or wireless external display, then?21:33
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> Is this correct? https://deploy-preview-71--ubports-ubuntu-touch-devices.netlify.app/device/arale/21:33
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> The original file: https://gitlab.com/ubports/infrastructure/devices.ubuntu-touch.io/-/blob/8502a28813db7eba8068a99d909026fd02610399/data/devices/arale.md21:35
ubptgbot<UniversalSuperBox> SD card, wireless charging, wireless external monitor, fingerprint, NFC, and wired external monitor are set as unsupported by hardware.21:36
ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> @UniversalSuperBox [No wired or wireless external display, then?], Neither.21:36
ubptgbot<dohbee> @UniversalSuperBox [No wired or wireless external display, then?], iirc, aethercast was not enabled on it, and it definitely didn't have wired video support21:36
ubptgbot<dohbee> i don't know if the wifi on arale can actually support miracast or not21:37
ubptgbot<dohbee> but the property was never set to enable it afaik21:38
ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> And with the battery percentage only at "partial", as in it is a Schrodinger's Cat whereby you can only know when it cuts out and then the switched-off battery reports the true percentage, I'm dubious about the `Endurance` categories.21:38
ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> But perhaps @Javacookies and others with currently operational models can interject with their experiences.21:39
ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> [Edit] And with the battery percentage only at "partial", as in it is a Schrodinger's Cat whereby you can only know when it cuts out and then the switched-off-and-charging battery reports the true percentage, I'm dubious about the `Endurance` categories.21:39

You can't just take Ubuntu Touch for a different device and install it on yours. You'll need to see our porting documentation: https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/index.html22:52
