Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Call forwarding cannot be cancelled

​I too have this problem, but it's because the network forces a number to
be set.

So if I do $ /usr/share/ofono/scripts/set-call-forwarding
VoiceUnconditional "" ​

​I get that the operation failed and it's reverted to my voicemail number.

I'll file a bug against System Settings and UX to make this more
informative.

Thanks

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Fwd: [Ubuntu-touch-coreapps] [ubuntu-system-settings] GSM codes handling broken in system-settings, dialer-app, or address-book-app

[Jonas Drange]

My take on this is that if you need to communicate a literal hash (#) as a
URL, you need to encode it. # has special meaning in a URL. So the # is
probably dropped, since it's not pertinent to the dialer-app (it just reads
the hostname part).

​Sounds like a bug. Can you file one here [1]?

​Scripts /usr/share/ofono/scripts/list-operators and

I want to argue that this logic be placed elsewhere. If/when account-polld
becomes unnecessary, we lose this logic. So any code we add to
account-polld that we want for all time, essentially becomes technical debt.

And if a Google account is broken, who is going to tell the user if
account-polld does not “see” it? If account-polld is the canary in the
accounts mine, then a broken Google account only accessed by calendard and
contacts, will stay silently broken.

I'm new to account-polld and I know little about online-accounts,
libsignon, etc, so please correct me. :)

I find ppptpd armhf debs here [2], so you should be able to obtain those by

​Hi Bartosz,

thanks for looking at this. You're describing bug 1258211 [1], so we should

No, only if you created a hotspot when the switch was available for the N4.

​Mikel, an unsecured hotspot works on the N4, but it is unstable. I've used
it for hours, but turning it on/off seems to upset the network stack on
that device.

Let me know if you want to try. It involves some command line majiggering.

When I flash my phone [1], the data on my home partition is usually left
untouched.

​I think Nicholas is referring to these [1] translations, in
ubuntu-settings-components.

There's been at least two Fridays between the time launchpad updated the
translations and now. Maybe the package hasn't been re-built?

​Right, the backend (Connectivity API) and the UI is ready, but the

It's trivial to apply a filter to all mailing list emails (use the mailing
list email, ubuntu-phone@lists.launchpad.net in this case), and then:

   - skip the inbox
   - apply label (e.g. Ubuntu-Phone).

Hope that solves the problem for you.

It is open source, but you can't write an *App* for the *App store* that

​Take a backup, but if you are editing that file you might have to stop
ofono. Otherwise ofono will ignore the changes.

Maybe it's easier to execute “/usr/share/ofono/scripts/remove-contexts” and
reboot? You can use the terminal app on the phone.

We are currently working on the UI for this.​

​Can you be a bit more specific? E.g. do you have an Internet connection
when Wi-Fi is disconnected and there is cellular coverage? What does the
connection icon indicate? What operator in what country?

When you look through [1], do you find any bugs with similar symptoms or
descriptions? Also, those bugs have a lot of information on debugging this.

Looking forward to your feedback.

I don't know about system wide muting—but I suspect the app to not have

we've been working on Wi-Fi hotspots which will allow you to share your
cellular data connection with nearby clients
​ using a wireless network.


This is now available
​in
 silo
​46
, for both vivid and wily phone
​ ​
images.
​We're happy with how it works, but we're looking for your feedback
and unforeseen problems.


We want to ask you all to test it and report any issues
​. If you hit an issue, here's how to report it:

   - ​A client can't see the hotspot or the hotspot does not work:​

   - File against:
  ​
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-network/+filebug
  ​​
  - ​Please attach /var/log/syslog as well as
  ~/.cache/upstart/indicator-network.log*​

  - ​There's a problem with the System Settings UI:
   - File against:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-system-settings/+filebug
  - ​Please attach log files which you'll find here:
  ~/.cache/upstart/application-legacy-ubuntu-system-settings-.log​*

​To start the hotspot:

   1. Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled.
   2. Go to System Settings -> Mobile/Cellular​
   3. Tap “Wi-Fi hotspot”
   4. Set up your hotspot
   5. Enable it.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] [Call for testing] Wi-Fi Hotspots (Internet tethering)

[Jonas Drange]

Hello again,

here's a small update. We've seen, in the past, that some operators do deep
packet inspection to detect tethering and disable it. Please let us know if
you see this.

If you're filing a bug or feeding back results, please let us know if you
have one or two SIMs installed, and from what operator you bought the
SIM (including
Mobile Network Code, Mobile Country Code, and Service Provider Name).

Due to driver issues on the Nexus 4 (mako), we've had to disable Wi-Fi
hotspots for this device for now.

Thank you.

​On what device was this? Also, please note that the entry is currently not
under Wi-Fi, but Cellular/Mobile.​

​Silos are just PPAs  [1], but the phone
system is read-only by default. If you install the “phablet-tools-citrain
”
[2]​ package on your laptop, plug in your phone (assuming developer mode is
enabled

[3]),
and run (still on the laptop):

citrain device-upgrade 46 1234

# where 46 is the silo number and 1234 is the pass code on the phone

# see citrain -h for more options


​This should make the phone system writable, add the PPA and upgrade the
system.​

To do this manually, you'll find instructions on making your device system
writable here

[4],
and then add *ppa:ci-train-ppa-service/landing-046*.

The packages you want to upgrade/downgrade are

indicator-network,qml-module-ubuntu-connectivity,libconnectivity-qt1,ubuntu-system-settings,libsystemsettings1

​Right now, you can install these with this command, but please not that
these version numbers will increase as we continue to develop this:

sudo apt-get install
{indicator-network,qml-module-ubuntu-connectivity,libconnectivity-qt1}=0.5.2+15.04.20150722-0ubuntu1
{ubuntu-system-settings,libsystemsettings1}=0.3+15.04.20150722-0ubuntu1​


​​So if you get, “E: version not found …” you need to check this page

[5]
for new version numbers. :)

The stable channel is fine—especially so if you install OTA5—you just need
the silo and a MX4 or Aquaris device.

There's also a heap of brilliant people
in #ubuntu-touch  on
irc.freenode.net
​ ready to help.

Thank you for your efforts so far.

​Hi Wayne,

you could try to increase the priority on the silo ppa. You can find
instructions on that here

[1].
It does sound like a failed install.

Thanks.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Should App updates be passed to the download manager?

Good question, should it? We're about to land a huge change to the update's
panel, so now is the time.

There's nothing AFAICS in the spec [1] about it.

​I don't think that is what happens. If the UDM creates a download with a
command, from system settings's POV, the download and install is one
operation.​

Okay, if that's the case, then that's about to change. We're passing a
pkcon command in a Metadata of a SingleDownload.

​Well, it should, if the user asks for it. That's also about to change, if
it does not already do that.

​Do you have a download-helper as well? Would *love *not having to

​Pretty sure that's gone too. Seems pkcon itself is emitting a signal?

But yeah, let's try to reduce duplication across these programs that do
pretty much the same thing. Would you point me to the helper script in
question?

Thanks. BR, Jonas​

​The “Pictures” folder is created by the Background panel, so that's
completely normal. The updatestore.db is a very recent file, and it's
absence should not affect the system image update at all.​

​updatestore.db does not exist on <= OTA12, and even just visiting the
Background panel will give you a …/Pictures folder.

Thanks for feeding back your findings, could you also mention this in the
bug?

​Hi Ari, like Alberto says, Facebook notifications have been disabled.
GMail and Twitter use the same software to poll its respective web api for
updates. This is set to hap​pen every five minutes, but you can force this
to happen by using a command [1]. The log for this activity can be viewed
realtime by use of this [2] command. This log file may include sensitive

Hi Cesar,

take a look at [1]. Please mark the bug as “affecting me”. Seems ofono does
not do this out of the box, so some new software will have to be written or
included in the image for this bug to be solved.

Yes, the old update panel (in < OTA13) acted weirdly for me, when on a
cellular network. I think it even hid a pending image update from the UI.
That should not happen post OTA13; if there's a pending update, we download
it automatically if you request it. If not, you'll always have the option
to download it from the System Settings UI.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] APN - Aquaris E4.5 OTA-13

[Jonas Drange]

Doesn't look like you need any of the other fields, from my limited
understanding. The UI does offer MMSC, Proxy, Port, etc—if you choose an
Internet and MMS APN type. But it seems simply entering the APN name should
suffice. Is this not the case? Are you not able to connect to the Internet
after adding this APN configuration?

BR,
Jonas

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Hotspot and Openvpn combo issues

Hi Eran,

do you mind filing a bug and attaching some logs? Syslog would be of help,
so would ~/.cache/upstart/indicator-network.log.

I haven't heard of those exact issues.

It sort of works if there's no authentication required to join the hotspot,

​Hi Michael,

Ubuntu System Settings (USS) was actually designed for this purpose: allow
external software vendors to install *plugins*​

​that ​USS would display alongside the default plugins (VPN, Cellular, etc).

Currently, however, you need to get a debian package that installs the
correct files into Ubuntu's archive, which has some requirements. As USS
moves to provide System Settings for snappy-based systems, a new approach
is needed, which most likely will be .snap based. I'm afraid I don't know
more than that, though.

It's a great idea, just wanted to give you some background.

Best,
Jonas
