[ubuntu-uk] Release drinks in central London?
Hi all, With release day fast approaching I'd like to get the ball rolling on a gathering in the evening of Thursday April 23rd in central London. I'm in London with the Desktop team for a planning sprint, plus the release team will be in the London office as usual. Has anyone got any suggestions for a suitable boozer? Cheers, Will -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] More phone problems/observations
I have noticed that the Dekko email client is quite unstable and keeps crashing -- surely the Ubuntu team should be developing this? We need a decent email client. One of the main reasons for having an Ubuntu phone is to get away from Google, yet the only email client that is installed by default is for gmail. When I receive a phonecall from someone not in my contacts list, how can I easily add that number to the contacts -- I see no options at all when looking at received calls other than info relating to the call. It needs to have the option to add a caller to a contact, either an existing one or create a new one. In the web browser, there is an option to share the page. This should have in the list other apps, including the option to send by email, share on Facebook, save to Pocket, save to Evernote, etc. Sending a link by text message is not what I want to do.

Is it a bug, or a scam, or what? 2) Wifi doesn't let me choose what to connect to. My Moto G Android phone gives me a list of Wifi networks in my locality - mostly secure. But there is a BT Wifi and a BT Wifi with FON which are not secured, but have a poor signal and will always give me a Network error as I'm not registered to use them. Every so often, my Moto G locks onto one of these, but I can tell it to disconnect and forget it. Now my Ubuntu phone has locked onto one of them and I cannot find any way to get it back to my home Wifi. Even turning Wifi off in System Settings has no effect. 3) Battery Life is poor - between a day or two at the most. My Moto G used to be as bad, but has improved a lot with Lollipop. I notice at least one bug has been posted about this, so I hope it will be improved for the Ubuntu phone. 4) Closing apps I find a real pain. Perhaps someone will tell me how to do it easily. The only way I have found is to do a really precise slow swipe from the right edge to about 2/3rds the way across the screen to get it to show open apps, then swipe down the one I don't want. The swipe from the right edge has to be so precise that it take a few goes to get it right. What I would like is for the symbol at the top of the app window to change to X on the home page and mean 'close'. See System Settings as an example of an app where this would work. At the moment, only the browser has a greyed out on the home page, but just doing it for this would help due to the way may apps 'offload' to the browser. 5) I've been tapping notifications to get to what they are telling me about and nothing has been happening. Now I find that tapping the icon, and only the icon, works. Not very intuitive, especially for ex-Android users. Also, swiping the notification to the right, gives me a 'Delete' option. It's not clear if this is to delete just the notification or the object (email, for instance) it is telling you about. Scary! Those are the things bugging me at the moment. More to come, maybe.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] More phone problems/observations
The phone is not locked. Actually I just tried it on my netbook running Linux Lite OS which is based on Ubuntu 14.04. My PC runs Ubuntu Studio 14.04 but does not see the phone. In a terminal I typed lsusb with it connected and with it not connected, and there was one more entry when it was connected but no device info, so it is recognising that something is connected via USB but Ubuntu on the PC cannot recognise the Ubuntu Phone -- some sort of problem in Ubuntu on the PC it seems, as netbook can see it and access its files.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Implications Of Secure Boot Lockout
On 06/04/15 12:38, Nigel Verity wrote: Hi I have been reading recently that Microsoft are removing the requirement for hardware manufacturers to provide a secure boot off switch, in order to gain Windows 10 accreditation. If this comes to pass it will place Linux distros entirely at the mercy of Microsoft to sign their authentication keys, otherwise they will be shut out from installation on mainstream computers. Given that Microsoft look like making a lot less money out of the Windows OS itself over the coming years, it seems reasonable to assume that they will seek to maximise whatever revenue they can generate. This points towards eventually shutting out even approved Linux distributions. Presumably Apple can do exactly the same to prevent installation on Macs. If this comes to pass I have to admit to not having a clear view of where this will leave us. The only possibilities I can see are: 1) Being confined to installing on Chromebooks 2) Being forced to use more expensive specialist hardware (e.g hardware designed primarily to be a server) 3) A move to ARM-powered devices I stress I am not an expert on this so my outlook may be unduly pessimistic, but it would be interesting to get the views of anyone with more insight into the implications. Could something akin to Wubi be a way around the problem, albeit far from ideal? I suppose ultimately I am looking for some reassurance that Linux on the desktop is not being forced onto a road to nowhere. Nige IIRC, China adopted Ubuntu as its 'official' OS a while ago, presumably on some sort of roll out over time. I expect they were not too keen on US based OS in future, if they ever were. India's Judicial system has been using Ubuntu for some time now. The French Assembly has used Ubuntu for years now, and the 70,000 or so Gendarmerie PCs were reported as going to Ubuntu a year or more ago. I note that Ubuntu can be optionally downloaded as Kylin (?), Chinese version. Ubuntu is sold on the high street(s) in India I believe in shops advertising a Ubuntu name. The Ubuntu phone now exists; I suspect that Google Android is also affected by the suggestion that Google is a little too cosy with US agencies, more than some international users may be comfortable with. Ubuntu phone has a European manufacturer, and, interestingly, a Chinese one also. At some stage, people I know who have spent money on a Mac to escape Windows will realise Ubuntu is an interesting alternative approach.

Now swipe up from the bottom to obtain the call log. Tap the number you want to save and it will load it into the dial pad. To the left of the number (at the top of the screen) you will see the save icon.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] More phone problems/observations
Okay, let me show you via some screenshots (taken with the camera on my Android phone as Ubuntu Phone does not seem to have any of its own screenshot capture) First look at this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kingdavid/17055877646 This is the phone with a list of received calls on the Today Scope (they also appear on the Calls Scope just the same) So I touched on the number and this is what comes up https://www.flickr.com/photos/kingdavid/16461692083 Then I touch on the red Call button and get this https://www.flickr.com/photos/kingdavid/16461692283 This is where the head and shoulders icon with + sign to the left appears and from there I could add the number to my contacts, but from what you wrote below I am guessing you found another way to do that?

I had to press the red button marked Call even though I do not want to call the person, I want to add them to the contacts list -- this needs redesigning as it is unintuitive at present. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
