have you done exactly this procedure, esp. the 'cd /' before the un-tar:

Well, we need sudo and two terminals: in the 1st run:

$ ssh phablet@192.168.0.41
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo mkfifo fifo
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ ls -l fifo
prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 25 15:59 fifo
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo chmod 0666 fifo
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ ls -l fifo
prw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Mar 25 15:59 fifo
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cd /<* !!!
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:/$ sudo tar -xzf ~phablet/fifo

...

please show the output of:

$ cd /
$ pwd
$ sudo tar -tzf ~phablet/fifo

note: I used the t-flag and I only need the first lines of its output,
not all;

[Ubuntu-phone] Landing team 29.03.16

[Łukasz 'sil2100' Zemczak]

Hello everyone!

Back from holidays. This week we're all busy preparing the OTA-10 update
planned for release in the nearest weeks. QA started testing the first
candidate we built on Friday EOD but we already see that re-spins with
additional fixes will be needed this week. One of the blocking issues
is, for instance, lack of translation of the new indicator-session and
(for some languages) also lacking translations in the new OOTB parts
that landed in the big Unity8 silo. Not to mention some other
regressions found here and there in the meantime (performance or
feature-wise). We'll be chasing down those as soon as possible.

In the meantime we only had a few landings: a new android (fixing issues
with mako and its camera), fixes for ubuntu-system-settings (switch to
1.3 UITK and other fixes), new touch meta-package removing an
unnecessary package from the seeds and apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu (bugfix
of an in-terminal permissions issue). All those will be included in
OTA-10 with the subsequent re-spins.

For now we are temporarily frozen and accepting only OTA-10 landings for
the overlay, but we will perform a snapshot once we have a candidate
with all the required bits built. This should happen in the next 1-2 days.

Cheers!

Marcin,

can you add an issue (feature/app request) to
https://github.com/cyberb/uapps/issues, please?

I know, not the most obvious place and most promising list, but at
least a list where we already have some "please, developers, get your

Thanks bunches,

It is a tried and worked solution in the sense "how to un-tar a file as 
root/sudo
into the BQ while the file is outside in the host". Of course I only
used the t-flag and not the x-flag, because I'm not in your situation
and have no second device to flash. And I'm willing to help you through,
even if there is a new problem. More you can't expect from me.

Look, the problem is: you have made a backup without knowing how to
restore it in your concrete situation.

I'm just trying to help you out and of course you have the
alternative to only flash your device and ignore my helping hand at all.

Good Luck.

Hello,

I have tested with the E4.5:

QWERTZ: http://www.amazon.de/dp/B0142BCTT2?psc=1
QWERTY: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B014LECUUS  

Both are connecting fine and also the touchpad works fine. If QWERTZ is
now supported in OTA-10, even better.

This is not true that any wiil work. At the moment in E4.5 you can
not configure the layout, i.e. a German QWERTZ will not work as
expected. There is a bug issue in LP.


Just checked in rc-proposed, and German qwertz is working ok both in

rc-proposed is not installed as default; have you checked the LP issue, or
how you checked it? ofc the QWERTZ connects, but the layout does not
match...

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Interruptions. When?

[Wayne Taylor]

Hi guys,

Perhaps you didn't read the original post.

Randall was saying that he wants the ability to absolutely
custom-fine-tune notifications.

This is pure genius, not a waste of time.  Is this phone smart or dumb? 
the iphone you talk about is dumb.  Dumb as a rock. I'm offended you
even put the two in the same conversation.  To fine tune notifications
brings us the ability to gain control over our time again.  Perhaps
focus on our sons and daughters and wives.

You are amazing if you have the power to ignore your notifications.  But
ignoring them is not the goal of what Randall was saying if you read it
again.  He was saying 'yes, notify me, but notify me the way that I
want, not the way the sender wants."

Sorry, but it's tough to watch one of the most revolutionary and simple
ideas to hit the list be shot down as if he was just trying to waste
your time.

I would LOVE that kind of notification control.

Thanks

Wayne (the other one)

Unfortunately I don't have the tools to replace myself these days.

The person I paid to replace the screen has damaged the accelerometer 
somehow. The screen now no longer rotates and the accelerometer isn't 
outputting any readings. Also the screen broke again after about a week, 
at the bottom by the android buttons. A few weeks later it cracked right 
across. I suspect the repair was inferior and I'm not convinced the 
glass was much cop either to be honest.

It'll be going back to BQ for a full workover soon.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Lost ability to share

[Pat McGowan]

Check that your config is still correct

dconf dump /

should show entries for [com/ubuntu/content/hub/destination],
[com/ubuntu/content/hub/share]  and [com/ubuntu/content/hub/source]

There are a bunch of core apps that provide that functionality, even
integration with EverNote if I remember correctly :)
I'd say the best way to know if it covers all your usecases is to have a
look at the apps in the app store and see if you can find all you need! :)

I bougt the Ubuntu phone because I wanted it as a little pc where I could run a 
program, make python programs and perhaps make apps. I like the Terminal app.
What I don't know is if a common user finds in Android or Iphone apps that 
aren't in Touch and are useful for him. If he preffers the other phones. And to 
know if he can write docs, have notes ...
Finally to know the speed and the usefulness making a phone call.
If you need I'm more specific tell me.

Hi Cesar,

could you be more specific? What do you mean by "running linux programs and
as a common user"?

 Hello,

 Tomorrow, March 28, my BQ E4.5 has its birthday, one year after I booted
 it for the 1st time. I think it is time to say a big thanks to the folks
 of BQ and Canonical to make this, the Ubuntu phone, reality. THANK YOU!


 Mañana, el 28 de marzo, mi BQ E4.5 cumple año, su primer año después de
 haberlo iniciado yo por primera vez. Pienso es tiempo y justo darles
 unas
 gracias grandes a la gente de BQ y Canonical que han hecho esto, un
 celular basado en Ubuntu, una realidad. ¡GRACIAS!

 A hug / un abrazo

 matthias

Where do you click "share"? I just tested from the browser’s drawer
menu, on BQ E4.5 and Meizu MX4, both running the latest rc-proposed,
and in both cases I’m getting a number of options for apps to receive
the URL I’m sharing.

  How can I view this locally on the BQ? I tried something like:

Thanks for that useful tip!

I can confirm that browsing local HTML files won’t work in the browser.
This is an unfortunate side-effect of confining the browser with
apparmor to prevent disclosing sensitive information (previously the
browser ran unconfined and one could view the contents of all files on
the filesystem).

I’d like to find a middle-ground solution to that problem, so that
users could browse and view "legitimate" files in their home folder,
without compromising security. I’ve filed
https://launchpad.net/bugs/1563214 to track the issue. Suggestions and
ideas welcome.

Cheers,

 Olivier

[Ubuntu-phone] Telegram Push Notifications, Stickers and Emoji

[Marcin Wójcik]

Good day,

I have been experiencing issues with the push notifications for Telegram.
In most cases, they appear after a considerable delay from when a message
was actually received  (30 minutes or longer), or they don't appear at all.

I have looked this issue up on Launchpad and came across these 2 bug reports
https://bugs.launchpad.net/telegram-app/+bug/1389203
https://bugs.launchpad.net/telegram-app/+bug/1517553

I am not sure if the issue lies with the Ubuntu push notification service,
the Telegram client for Ubuntu-Phone or with the way the phone suspends
when not being used.

Another issue I have with Telegram, which has been present since day one,
is the fact that push notifications for Telegram messages do not play a
notification sound.

There are several bugs open against this issue and I hope that it will get
resolved eventually.

Here are a few of the bugs listed on Launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/telegram-app/+bug/1421332
https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1413818
https://bugs.launchpad.net/telegram-app/+bug/1511774

Lastly, I see that sticker support has been added to the latest version of
the Telegram app, which I am really happy about.

I would just like to bring forth a minor issue with the stickers.
The sticker tabs do not all appear when having many sticker sets.
It seems to be limited to 20 sticker sets. The rest of my sticker sets do
not appear in the sticker tabs.

Also, the emoji support which is currently implemented in the Ubuntu-Phone
keyboard with the outlined icons is a tad bit difficult to recognize what
some the emoji are supposed to actually be (things such as colored hearts
for example, which one is blue?), and the ordering is not the same as what
you find in the Android version of Telegram, making other emoji difficult
to find on the keyboard. It would be great if those emoji selections could
be made available from the same place where the stickers have been placed
in the app. Something similar to how the Telegram Web version has them
implemented perhaps?


OS: OTA-9.1
Device: BQ Aquaris E4.5


Thank you

Regards,

Marcin
