Thanks for the responses. I'm only able to work this an hour or so here and there, so it may take awhile to reach my goal. Yesterday and today I tried to get an external disk mounted via USB on the M10. No joy. I tried 2,3 and 4TB disks. I have a special cable that connects to the M10's USB

Hi Seth, I love your approach to this! If canonical would give us a kernel and drivers for the hardware, we could take it from there. I would need a X driver ( not mir ), a driver for the sound hardware, a driver for the modem ( serial + AT commands ? ) and drivers for the other parts. (

I'm sad because I always was huge fan of Ubuntu Phone's dedication to open source. I'm not surprised because they were (in my opinion unnecessarily) doing too much and going too much against the grain considering where rest of Linux ecosystem was headed, and it was clear that this kind of approach

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Official end off Ubuntu Phone - Please read this because this is sad....

Can't say I am surprised. I think we all knew this was coming, we were just in denial. With the end of support for the phones and no new devices planned it was inevitable. I think we were hoping that phones would be able to continue in some form because of Unity8 but this puts pay to that too.
