How I am running ubports as a daily driver - tahayassen - 03-01-2020
1. Write ubports image to emmc
2. Extend root filesystem to 16GB as per https://askubuntu.com/a/958145
Code:
sudo parted /dev/mmcblk2
resizepart 1
yes
-0
quit
sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk2p13. Wifi work-around.
Code:
nano /home/phablet/fix-wifi.sh:
sudo nmcli radio all off
sudo rmmod 8723cs
sudo modprobe 8723cs
sudo nmcli radio all onRE: How I am running ubports as a daily driver - quixote - 03-01-2020

Any app recommendations at this point? I have found OnionBrowser and Stellarium work very well. FluffyChat works but without E2E right now. WireUT works with some keyboard overlay issues. I am able to play music from Terminal with ffplay.

Well, I'm stuck on very simple stupid stuff. SSH used to work, doesn't now for some frustrating reason ["no route"], so I figured I'd just use nano on the phone. I can't get at CTRL-X to save the laboriously typed in file! Aargh. What's up with that??
Doing the little nano menu at the bottom left above the keyboard, selecting "Ctrl" and hitting X on the keyboard just gets me a nice "X" typed into the file.
I can't find any combination of keys that gives me a Ctrl-X either. Eg something like ^[[X. It all just echoes to the file. It isn't one of the preset choices starting with Ctrl-R of course. That would be too easy. Aargh. Again.
The line about using dpkg-reconfigure tzdata, after a LOT of difficulty getting the selection to change in the ncurses menu, is the one and only method that's worked to get time working! Thanks!

That 'Ctrl' doesnt send a ctrl, its the name of the shortcut menu.
Press and hold that little handburger menu, drag up to 'nano' and release, that'll give you nano shortcuts, including CTRL-O and CTRL-X.

So, finally got it all entered, scripts set up. (I'd love to know why my ability to ssh vaporized! Problem for another day.) Restarted.
/etc/rc.local didn't seem to run on startup. ?? It is executable, but there wasn't any sound until I ran it manually. (I copied it to an executable in /home/phablet and ran that. Don't know if that makes a difference.)
Ran the start modem script and fix wifi script.
It allows me to send and receive SMS. W00T!
Voice calling is showing signs of life, but is not functional on my system. The phone app comes up, recognizes the SIM, and dials, but the phone app crashes as soon as there's a connection. Calling in from another number, the phone rings on the other phone, but not on the pinephone, and then it goes to voicemail. There's no visual sign on the display of an incoming call either. Sound is on and functions in other apps, eg if the keyboard click is set to on.
Wifi refuses to appear at all, in any way.
Any ideas for improvements from here?

Did your IP address on the phone change? You can check that with:
$ ip a
You can also make sure your ssh server is running:
$ sudo service ssh status

Can you run
Code:
cat /etc/rc.localCode:
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cat /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.
modprobe snd_soc_simple_amplifier
modprobe snd_soc_simple_card_utils
amixer -c 0 set 'AIF1 Slot 0 Digital DAC' unmute
amixer -c 0 set 'Line Out' unmute
amixer sset 'Line Out' 100%
exit 0
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$Honestly, not sure why the wifi is not working for you. Make sure that wifi is enabled in the UI and then run
Code:
./fix-wifi.sh
