Please, please fix this. That hampers the switch from an android to an ubuntu touch device very seriously. I bought a Pixel 3a and managed to install it. But exporting over 600 contacts from my old phone to vcard and then not being able to even import the important ones due to the buggy smb in the file manager
my SIM card went into the android phone again. If this project is in any way targeted to get ubuntu touch as a daily driver people have to be able to import their data from google android and apple OS to ubuntu touch. And by people I mean actually just "users", who use android or iOS and barely manage the process of opening the bootloader, recover their phone to a (ubuntu-touch) supported state of android or iOS firmware version and then install ubuntu touch. I know for some of you that might sound trivial. But to the rest of the world people are happy if they understand their privacy-unfriendly OSes. Giving them an option to use a privacy-friendly alternative WAS the target of ubuntu-touch, as I thought to understand. Being stopped in the process of migrating my contacts data from my old phone to ubuntu-touch, even for some csv files is rather demotivating for me. I just wanted you to know how a person with not so heavy tech-savyness feels, after I watched some youtube videos about how ready ubuntu-touch is now for daily use, then buys a phone that is supported and putting the SIM-card in the old phone on the first day of trying it out. Another tech thing going to the attic, as a really good idea, supported and developed by so many people, in todays time promising as hell when it comes to privacy and anti-data-grabbing. A little bit disheartening to be honest. And no one to blame but myself for trying it out. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to syncevolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290559 Title: Gkr needed by default when using syncevolution on Ubuntu Touch Status in syncevolution package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The steps described at http://askubuntu.com/questions/360554/how-do-i- sync-google-contacts used to work before syncevolution was updated to 1.4, but now this is what you get: [INFO] addressbook: looking for databases...
