nothing is 100% safe nowadays.  However if more people would know with

An Internet site with clear rules, links, description, MILESTONES etc? I
meant that this project needs more transparency so that people who want
to support it know why, what for and who stands behind the steer.

I think they do it very well:

Hi,
i can't wipe away your allegations, but i can try to put them in
perspective.

You have a point there. Ubuntu Touch is very unstable in many areas and
that will have to change. Our target audience are Linux users and that
won't change for the foreseeable future. If your grandmother doesn't
know how to bring up a terminal and execute a script to flash her
device, Ubuntu Touch is not for her. UBports only has a very small team
of volunteer developers, so marketing to Dorothy Default and Gabe
Generic does not make sense right now, it would just cause confusion and
disappointment. It's not feasible to make something for everyone without
a large team and lots of funding, at least not right now. Remember the
early days of Android? Then you know what i'm talking about. Ubuntu
Touch devices being sold to consumers too early is one of the reasons
why this project did not take off as planned. I agree with you there: UT
needs *a lot* of polish and testing. Calling, SMS, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS
and AGPS, essential apps - those are all on our to-do list. We won't get
it stable until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. So until it's really
really good, we're targeting the nerds.
About that russian hacker comment: You can't be sure, i could be lying
to your face right now. Remember that UBports was already a thing before
Canonical ditched Ubuntu Touch. There are devices running our images out
there right now, so we could already be back-dooring a lot of devices,
maybe even yours. I like your shirt, btw, but you really need to clean
your apartment.
The thing is: It would not make sense to put all the effort of
integrating back-doors in such a niche OS. Vault 7 shows that there are
back-doors in many Devices at a layer below the Kernel, so why would we
even bother? Also, it's all free software, so all the code (except the
hardware enablement blobs that are not written by us but by the device
manufacturers) can be checked by third parties and the risk of getting
caught spying on people is pretty high.
No, seriously, you have a point. We understand that it might be
difficult for many people to put there trust in a project run by some
random nerds from the Internet. But we're trying to be as transparent as
possible. All code that ships is open source. We try to answer all the
questions in our bi-weekly Community Q&A
(https://blog.ubports.com/2017/04/15/community-qa.html). We share our
financial details with our Patreon supporters (Except the 10 Million
rubels we recieve from the KGB each month of course).

I hope that answers some of your questions. If you have any suggestions
how we can improve transparency and accountability, feel free to raise
your voice.
All the best,
Jan Sprinz, aka. NeoTheThird, community manager at UBports

[Filip Dorosz]

Hello all.

I would like to thank everyone who worked on the project from the 
begging to the end. Its been one hell of a ride!


Thanks for the opportunity to be part of history of computing, because 
in my humble opinion this project will be remembered.


Don't forget that ideas are eternal and all that time spent with your 
ubuntu phones was worth the cons if it only provided you some positive 
emotions and for me it certainly did.

This is liberating if we allow it to be. We're no longer forced to be

  * How difficult would a switch to GNOME be and how long would it take?
  * What current phones on the market could the community target based
upon their openness and compatible hardware/drivers?

We do not NEED Canonical or phone manufacturers. We truly thank them for
getting us here. All the effort by the Ubuntu Phone team has been
amazing and is greatly appreciated.

We all backed this phone project financially and with hours of our
lives. Hours that we spent debugging, coding, helping someone else.
Hours that we could have spent with friends and family or on other
projects.

We chose to work on this phone because we believe in the ideal of
freedom and choice. For us, the other two mobile OS's are not options.
They represent tyranny and forced conformity.

I stand here committed to these ideals and the work that has been done.
I am prepared to further invest my money and time into giving freedom
and choice to those who want it.

[Ubuntu-phone] Shashlink on Ubuntu Touch?

[Filip Dorosz]

Hello all.

Just curious:
Are there anybody who tried to compile Shashlink[1] on Ubuntu Touch?
Shashlink is basically an Android compatibility layer for normal Linux.
Because it would give UT the opportunity to run some apks from Android.

I have to add to Mitchell's wishes and thanks.

I am also extremely happy with M10. Never had issued except one time but
BQ support sorted this out in one day.
I have Creative SoundblaserJam headset paired with bluetooth and its

I had this tablet with keyboard&mouse with me on my vacation back in

The OS is fine. The quality is fine. I can't wait to flash snap version

I also have E4.5 and I'm perfectly fine that it may not be updated to snaps.

I don't either get why there is so much hate in the comments section of

of people only red the title and went straight into comment section to

Hi Marcos

Surely the Touch project - core & Snaps and i/o via touchscreen -
remains a fundamental goal of Canonical's strategy, regardless of
whether there are devices out there at the moment or not? But as
Touch matures, surely it will become more attractive to OEMs, not less.

Personally, I'd like to see Touch flashable onto a much wider range
of generic devices, as Linux has always been pn PCs. And I like what
I'm beginning to hear from OEMs like ZTE, about producing more open
devices which might load the OS of the user's choice.

[Ubuntu-phone] bind mount sdcard to dirs in home

Hello everyone!

I have a question regarding bind mounting sdcard's dirs to dirs in home.
I bind mounted Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos from 
/media/phablet/0A93-D105/ to /home/phablet/ to be able to access files 
more freely from apps (I also created .nomedia file in 
/media/phablet/0A93-D105/ to avoid double entries in Gallery), BUT I 
found out that I cannot play music from these bind mounts:
Nothing shows up in the Music app so I assume that mediascanner didn't 
get it.
I want to trouble shoot this problem so thirst question is: How can I 
force mediascanner to rescan whole home dir?

No, the info is correct: the *ubuntu* version number is now dynamic
(was previously hardcoded to 14.04). The chromium version is still
hardcoded until the bug I referred to is fixed (should be landing
soon).

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Porting a GNUstep application to the M10

Hello.

I installed quite a lot additional legacy applications and the naming

for example:
puritine2_thunderbird_0.0.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Version=0.0
Name=Thunderbird
Exec=/bin/true
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Icon=/home/phablet/.local/share/icons/thunderbird.png

Okay. I started over but it made little difference. I copied to

I have no idea where

container"_0.0.desktop

comes into the picture. Are you saying the desktop file should
have _0.0? That's the way I originally had it:

applications/puritine2_xterm_0.0.desktop

or are you saying I should create a puritine2_0.0.desktop file
like the libertine-scope.desktop file?

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
NoDisplay=true

Keep in mind that I have not been part of the development effort

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Porting a GNUstep application to the M10

[Filip Dorosz]

Hi Dave.

I also think you should really reflash your device and start over.
Libertine is already on the M10 so you probably broke something while 
apt-geting and trying to install libertine while it was already there.


I'd recommend creating separate chroot on the device with the new system 
and using apt-get inside that chroot. It will even enable you to have 
that chroot on your external drive giving you a lots of space and it 
won't corrupt your main system.


This [1] how-to have necessary instruction to give you idea about 
separate chroot.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] [Design]: Color changes in OTA 10

[Filip Dorosz]

Hi.

I'm reading your conversation and I wondering: why?

I do like the change, and blue is not Ubuntu's brand color, but I like 
it more on the phone then previous over used orange.

UI seems so balanced now.

I also found out its more intuitive because I tested it with multiple 
persons who didn't use UT earlier. Nobody said it makes them 
sad/depressed and they all said the UI is nice.


Only few people complain about the change on this list so, doing some 
personalization is the way.

I'm not exactly sure what happens on upgrades if the OTA is changing the
container config. In that case you probably need to manually update the
config file.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Why native Canonical browser and firefox?

instead of creating new one, simply port ie. Firefox to fit UT?
Does porting Firefox would consume less resources that creating new browser?
It's general question for me - why there are many apps created again,

This is being worked on. Should hopefully work soon. For now, those apps

Anything that has the Bluetooth logo on it should work. If it doesn't,
it's probably a bug. Please report it to Launchpad. Some mice which have
a special "window-switching" button pretend to be fully fledged
keyboards and currently confuse the system a bit, tricking it into
thinking a keyboard would be connected and hiding the OSK (In case you
would want to work with a mouse but no physical keyboard). We're working
on finding a solution there.

You can also use a micro USB to USB-A adapter and plug USB
mice/keyboards in. Again anything that has the USB logo on it should
work.

Currently there is a known bug about the AltGr key handling for some
languages. Also, some special keys on keyboards might not be supported
yet. Please report bugs in case you'll have such special keys and they
are not behaving as expected.

I don't think bq sells too many accessories except protective cases. You

Yes, there is a hard manual way to do it.

We plan to fix this in OTA 11 in just a few weeks' time.  It requires some

infrastructure that have been in the queue for a while and so additional close

[Ubuntu-phone] Additional legacy apps with Libertine on M10 Tablet

[Filip Dorosz]

Hi all.

I just got mine Aquaris M10 and so far I'm loving it.
However I have a question regarding installing additional legacy apps.
I know its possible through Libertine and it's installed on Tablet by 
default so:


How to properly use it to install additional legacy apps?

Hi Łukasz.

When the Phone move to Xenial will it also be Snappy based finally?

Hello Bob!

So Xenial has been released :-)

My apologies if this has already been addressed, but what is the planned
schedule for Xenial arriving for Ubuntu Phone devices?

I have been using a Meizu MX4 as my primary phone for the last few months,
and I just took delivery of a BQ Aquarius M10 tablet and am setting it up
right now.   Woohoo!

Both my devices are currently on Vivid 15.04 (OTA 10.1).

What is the Xenial transition plan for these official devices?Best
wishes!


As already mentioned in a few landing e-mails, the baseline switch from
vivid to xenial is our near-term plan for stable channels. But please
remember that it's not an easy task. When we were switching our baseline
from 14.09 (ubuntu-rtm) to 15.04 long time ago it took us a few months
to stabilize the phone again. With xenial introducing the g++ ABI break
(and a few other nuances), the whole process could take even longer
since there's more things we need to consider during the switch.

The most difficult part is that we can't only concentrate on one front,
meaning: we can't just drop everything and just work on getting xenial
(devel-proposed) into working shape as our current focus needs to be on
the stable devices (vivid-overlay). That being said, we will be
preparing something similar to a 'task force' that will be taking care
of moving the xenial initiative forward. It's really hard to give a firm
schedule here - with this we still need to wait a bit.

All this means the next few OTAs will still be vivid-based with our
development focus on vivid, but then we intend to switch to xenial for
future devices.



I am on the waiting list for Meizu MX5 PRO as well, as my next phone.


Cheers,
Bob Summerwill

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Telegram on BQ E4.5

[Filip Dorosz]

I use Telegram daily on Aquaris E4.5 and doesn't experienced that bug.
Just guessing: Maybe your settings got corrupted and you should delete 
all config files and start over?

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] owncloud sync on the phone.

[Filip Dorosz]

Hello there.

I see you've made progress on this app. (Doing C++/Qt backend)
I know some good plain C/C++ (no Qt unfortunately) so I may little help.

I started to sorting out how to compile owncloudcmd independently and 
statically so we won't have to include binary blobs in this app and also 
don't have to adjust LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I'll report back here when I'll 
have some progress on this.

Hi Filip,


I managed to get a couple of hours working on a UI and i have uploaded
the current code here: https://github.com/dubstar-04/owncloud-sync

its very rough but it allows the user to enter their owncloud credential
and checks if a connection can be made to the server.

I think the next step is to modify owncloud-sync.sh to work with the ui,
add the ability to select source and destination folders and then tidy
everything up.

I should be able to work on this again tomorrow night.

I also thought about rewriting script in C++ with some fancy stuff

Filip,

I have started laying out a simple app to help configure the
owncloud sync.

this works by saving the settings to a setting file that the
unconfined
app should be able to read.

This settings file would replace the oc.cfg and oc-files.cfg and
be read
into your script.

it is a bit hacky but it works and gets owncloud sync running with a
simple gui for those that need it.

The click you have is fine, I can build the UI, modify your
scripts to
get them to read the settings and make a pull request if you
host its
contents on your github.

I have unpackaged the current click and extracted the binary
files so no
need to send them.

let me know if your interested.

[Ubuntu-phone] owncloud sync on the phone.

[Filip Dorosz]

Hello all.

As you may know I've been working at getting owncloud file sync on 
Ubuntu Touch using owncloud-client-cmd and some scripts. What I've 
archived so far is working owncloudcmd client on the phone, script for 
running that periodically and simple config files to adjust settings.


I've setup repository on my github so you can have a look at it:
https://github.com/fihufil/owncloud-file-sync

If someone is willing to create GUI for managing my config files it 
would be really nice.
I know this (whole project) is not suitable for official store but my 
guess it is for Openstore.


Any feedback if greatly welcome.

Happy CLI-hacking,
Filip Dorosz.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Owncloud, U1 and CardDav/CalDav: Fresh Thread for Dummies

[Filip Dorosz]

Thats a bug.

Workaround is to ssh from phone's terminal into localhost
so type:
ssh localhost

and you should be able to use commands from ~/bin/

Z poważaniem,

I moved forward and created click package.
You can have a look at
http://people.rapidrage.com.pl/~filip/projects/owncloudcmd/
there is wrapper script to include new lib path that you put in
your's
phone ~/bin/
and click package that you install. (have a look at the readme)

Ad4. You can setup caldav/carddav sync with syncevolution. However
it
needs to be done from terminal.

Hello,

I've been trying desperately to keep up on the exciting stuff
that's
happening with Owncloud and Ubuntu One and cardDav/Caldav
discussion in
this list.  However, I'm just not technical enough to fully
understand.
   I wanted to start this thread so that someone technical involved
in
this might be able to update a guy like me.

First, if you could confirm my understanding so far:

1. Ubuntu one: perhaps not the best option for now because...

2. Owncloud essentially takes care of everything that U1 can do and
more
and has active community development

3. Owncloud client: it seems as though some folks have 'nearly
completed' an owncloud client?

4. CardDav/CalDav: is currently still not supported on the phone?

5. Community feature request/voting system: Joseph Liau mentioned a
community voting/feature request idea associated with this
list.  This
was just an idea or it's somewhere online that I cannot find?

Unfortunately, I'm one of the people who had to flash back to a
different phone because of no calendar sync.  So I'm currently
sitting
on the sidelines praying that I can come back to the good
team.  Every
other device I have is ubuntu but the most important one for my
day-to-day is sitting here with stinky residue of nasty Google.

I'm trying my best to remain technical and help, but it's hard
because
of daily demands.

I'm here and ready to help but it seems like the Community
discussion
voting thing is the best way that I could help you all.

Let me know how I can help because I really want to see this thing
in my
pocket again before the summer...

Thanks for all your hard work everyone and if I can help, let me
know how.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] owncloud-client-cmd on the phone

[Filip Dorosz]

Installing is easy:
unzip the file:
bin/* goes to ~/bin
oc/* goes to ~/oc
then relogin if you are not using ~/bin yet and you can use owncloudcmd 
command in terminal.


I'm on irc if you want to chat.
fhf at irc.rapidrage.net channel #ubuntu (we have webchat if you don't 
have local client http://irc.rapidrage.org/ubuntu )

fhf bhgg nhgbhv at irc.freenode.net

I'll publish necessary scripts around Thursday on my github.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] owncloud-client-cmd on the phone

[Filip Dorosz]

Yeah. You can show me how you installed 1.8.1 on the phone.

You don't need crontab, you can setup upstart job in .config/upstart/ 
(file must end in .conf like .config/upstart/filesync.conf )

with the following content:
"
description "file sync"
start on started unity8-dash

exec /home/phablet/bin/file-sync.sh
"
You only need to adjust your script with infinite loop like this:

while[1]; do
*dosomething*
sleep 600
done

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] File synch - could we get owncloud-client-cmd added to standard image?

How do you get around dependcies?

owncloud-client-cmd depens on some libs that are not installed.

I started messing with Michael Reese's owncloud scripts for calendar and
contact synch between my owncloud server and my Ubuntu Touch phone.
Filesynch requires owncloud-client-cmd.

I know there was work in the past to seed OpenVPN into the standard
image. Would we be able to seed owncloud-client-cmd into the standard
image as well? Or is that too specific and would not have a wide-enough
user-base to make it worthwhile?

I see in the documentation I could make my phone writable and install it
myself, but I was kind of hoping to keep my phone as stock as possible
and use tools that come with the phone through regular OTA updates.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Maximized windows on BQ

Hi.

You just do not have enough space on the screen.
You can however get around it by switching to Staged mode.
Then You need to lock rotation while in landscape and enable window mode 
again and you will be able to minimize your windows because you will 
have enough horizontal space to see buttons.

Not sure if that is a bug or simply I have not found the appropriate

[Filip Dorosz]

Hi.

That's good point. Now I use script to sync files to and from my phone 
with my computers via wifi. But I would be good to sync against central 
server.
And I think that it will be easier to develop just front end for 
owncloud-cmd than whole new application. But I'm not familiar with 
developing for UT jet so that's just my thought.


Also does anyone know if it is/will be possible to convert 
owncloud-client-cmd into a snap that can be installed later when ubuntu 
touch move to snap from click?



Regards,
Filip Dorosz

I started messing with Michael Reese's owncloud scripts for calendar and
contact synch between my owncloud server and my Ubuntu Touch phone.
Filesynch requires owncloud-client-cmd.

I know there was work in the past to seed OpenVPN into the standard
image. Would we be able to seed owncloud-client-cmd into the standard
image as well? Or is that too specific and would not have a wide-enough
user-base to make it worthwhile?

I see in the documentation I could make my phone writable and install it
myself, but I was kind of hoping to keep my phone as stock as possible
and use tools that come with the phone through regular OTA updates.

Well, I've got my order in for my M10 tablet (is that going to be
covered here or separately??). Does anyone know when they will be
shipping them? I haven't seen an actual launch date anywhere.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Difficulty Sending Messages to this List (was Re: (no subject)

[Filip Dorosz]

Exactly. In my expirence gmail nowadays tend to treat everything that's 
not gmail as spam (perhaps, he is being racist?).

The best solution is simple: change your provider or use your own server.

These sort of issues are exactly why I stopped using gmail for anything
important and got my own domain. I hate spam filters, I hate looking
back at my spam and seeing a trail of lost opportunities it didn't
bother to tell me I'd received. I prefer to receive the lot and sift
through it myself.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Errors trying examples in ubuntu-sdk

[Filip Dorosz]

Hello.

I'm sorry I'm replying so late.

I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bit.
Your guess was right I was using qmlproject as it seem the most
suitable.

You cleared out all the unclear information.

By using qmake and installing 'intltool' package providing
'intltool-extract' (Qtcreator complained its missing) I was finally able
to run examples on the developer.ubuntu.com.

Thanks, I guess its time to start hacking in ubuntu-sdk then. :)

Have a nice day/afternoon,
Filip

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Errors trying examples in ubuntu-sdk

[Filip Dorosz]

Thanks for the reply
Im quite new to Qt creator and graphical programming in general (been
hacking in the cli for a while now).
I don't know exactly what do you mean by "running the option with
program name".

I would be grateful if you clarify that a little more.

With kind regards,
Filip Dorosz.

[Ubuntu-phone] Errors trying examples in ubuntu-sdk

[Filip Dorosz]

Hi all.

I've been trying to start learning developing ubuntu touch apps but
from the very beginning i run across problems.
First I was missing ubuntu-sdk-dev package as its not mentioned in the
docs at developer.ubuntu.com and was struggling with Segmentation fault
errors when trying to run examples from templates or from docs.
Now as its installed i don't get Segfaults but now...
When I create new project with framework ubuntu-sdk-15.04.4 it gives
following error at "6 general alerts" (im not using English version so
it may differ a little):

"/usr/ubuntu-sdk-dev/bin/qmlplugindump" zakończył pracę błędem.
Argumenty: -nonrelocatable Ubuntu.UnityWebApps
0.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml
This application failed to start because it could not find or
load the Qt platform plugin "minimal".

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

And when trying to run any example from developer.ubuntu.com it gives
the following error:

/usr/ubuntu-sdk-dev/bin/qmlscene: symbol lookup
error: /usr/ubuntu-sdk-dev/bin/qmlscene: undefined symbol:
_ZN7QString14toLower_helperERS_
/usr/ubuntu-sdk-dev/bin/qmlscene zakończone kodem 127

How can I resolve this issues?

With kind regards,
Filip Dorosz.
