Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Meizu MX4 recovery mode

I've suffered similar issues to this with the MX4. The USB connection degraded in reliability for me over time, and I ended up having to get a replacement MX4, which so-far has been good. On Thu, Feb 25, 2016 at 10:07 AM, Tm_T wrote: > Hi, > > I still cannot get any "menu" or any other visible f

Hi folks, As some of you may already know. Support for OpenVPN was landed into rc-proposed on 24/12/2015. Unfortunately this doesn't include the official UI that is part of ubuntu-system-settings. So here I'm including a prototype UI in a click that will let you try it out: http://people.canonica

Hi guys, The bulk of the work has been completed now. I've done all the backend work, and everything up to the QML bindings for the system settings app. So remaining tasks are the construction of the settings UI. However I've cooked up a quick click QML app that runs unconfined that lets you cre

It was only being seeded "by accident" because unity-scopes-shell depended on libu1db-qt and libunity-scopes depended on libu1db. So both implementations got pulled into the image. Is looks like that as soon as we stopped depending on them, both seemed to get dropped from the image. On Thu, Aug 2
