Hello!
I wanted to know if it has the same effect updating Ubuntu Touch via Terminal or is it better to flash the daily build without wiping to keep updated?
Updating Ubuntu via Terminal: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
via computer: phablet-flash -l
In my opinion it does the same but I'm not 100% sure.
Apt-get just updates the packages. For some updates it requires a full image upgrade. Which Canonical will implement to be done within Ubuntu Touch by the end of august.

I've figured out, you can add a repo to update the whole system (except some system packages like the kernel) as well.
I've written this down in my tutorial thread.

I'm running Ubuntu (latest) and can't get it to recognize my phone. Well, actually it sees it but I keep keep getting "??????????? no permissions". BTW. I've successfully done this on a Windows machine before. Does anyone know of a resource for fixing my issue?

You need to be more descriptive in the steps you were taking to get that error. However, it's probably a permissions error due to not putting sudo in front of whatever command you were executing.

Sorry. It's when I type devices, or any other command really, in the ADB shell. I'll try sudo and see if that works.

More then likely it's because you haven't set your udev rules yet. Once you have the udev rules set it won't matter if your root or not for running ADB. 99% of the guides out there take you step by step on properly installing the Android SDK including setting the UDEV rules under the Ubuntu OS.

This is it, but remember that sudo doesn't look at your normal path, so you'll need to restart adb with adb kill server, then sudo [path to android sdk]/platform_tools/adb devices.
I've set up an alias in my .bashrc that lets me start adb with su privileges, then I'm off to the races. It sure makes things easy!
Good luck!

And then try again.

And if it's java that's causing the issue you'll never get that to work. You'll either have to use OpenJDK(Which is only sorta supported), or download the .BIN and install manually.
Hi,
I always had problem with mtp and GB on linux. With the ICS update I couldn't even find my device listed by nautilus. I'm a little bit tired of using Airdroid, wich seems to be slower now and I never liked to download the pictures from it as a zip file.
for those who like to MTP transfer from xperia NXT series on Mint or Ubuntu:
add this repository Olci PPA launchpad.net/~olci/+archive/ppa1
it contains the new libmtp library, the new mtpfs and gmtp
with this command: sudo add-apt-repository ppalci/ppa1
then update & upgrade if already installed
or
update and install libmtp libmtpfs gmtp
from terminal launch gmtp
wait for a little bit (it takes a while)
once in gmtp go to preferences and set your directories for upload download
and there you go
finally can control and backup everything in your sd to your linux system
there is a smile on the command
sudo add-apt-repository ppalci/ppa1
how can I remove it?
Damn that's my ppa if anyone got questions or issues on that ppa
I can help

Thank you so much for the ppa and your job, a friend sms that to me today as we were searching for mtp on mint. I tried it worked and i wanted to share it.

Or you could use Airdroid for file transfers. It's what I use on my Linux laptop.

As I wrote I already use airdroid and I'm tired of it. Still it's out topics.
This thread is about xperias, MTP and linux which are working thanks to that ppa

So, yesterday I installed Ubuntu touch on my galaxy nexus and I have few problems:
1. Settings app is not functioning. Lot of stuff just doesn't work(e.g wallpapers, disabling auto-rotation, setting time and date)
2. Updating in settings app also doesn't work. It says that there is 4 updates and that they have 300mb, but when I click on download updates button settings app just freeze.
I've installed Ubuntu touch on my phone through Ubuntu desktop. Anyone have same problems?
Both is normal at the actual status of development.
To upgrade your actual image open the terminal on your phone and run
Code:
sudo apt-get update
then
Code:
sudo apt-get upgrade
To upgrade to a newer version of daily builds please connect your phone to your desktop open a terminal and run
Code:
phablet-flash cdimage-touch
This will keep your actual settings while a
Code:
phablet-flash cdimage-touch -b
will whipe all your data.
To fix the second problem you have to run this on your Ubuntu PC while you device is connected:
phablet-flash ubuntu-system -b

This will wipe all your data!
First one: Ubuntu Touch is not ready yet so not everything works (but you can install apps without a Terminal already!)

Well, you can just use apt-get on the other PC?
Apt-get downloads .deb packages including all dependencies. Any system that can install .deb files should also support apt-get, or is there a reason you can't use that?
If you download and manually install a .deb file, you have to download and install all dependencies too.

No, there is not a single installer for most applications. Instead there are lots of separate .deb packages and installing one application typically requires installing several of those .deb packages.
That's where apt-get comes in: it figures out all the .deb packages needed for your application, checks what is already installed and then downloads and installs the rest. Doing this manually is far from easy, especially as the list of packages previously installed may differ from PC to PC.
That said, you can find the .deb packages recently downloaded in:
/var/cache/apt/archives/

I guess you could ZIP them up and add a shell script that runs dpkg -i for each of them, but I don't recommend it. The other PC might need additional .debs or have some of them already installed.

Well, it is hard to use without a package repository. You can burn one on DVD and use it with apt-get or use a mirror in your LAN. Internet is not really needed, but by far the easiest.
