UBports Aiming For An Exciting 2021 With Ubuntu Touch

There are no Lomiri packages in Manjaro repos nor AUR yet.

There are.

Change the branch to Unstable in /etc/pacman-mirrors.conf

Then, in pacman.conf:

[lomiri]
Server = https://repo.mariogrip.com/manjaro/lomiri/os/x86_64/

Test.

I found that on the UB Ports forum last week (linking to Twitter), directly from one of the guys.

Beware that there's a lot of conflicts with Gnome packages. My manjaro install is one of my daily drivers, so I didn't mess with Gnome packages and didn't actually test myself for now. My new laptop should be delivered soon, and after migrating everything, I will use the old one to test that.

No it means they have plans for devices that shipped with Android and for devices like the PinePhone.

That's what they explain in the video or their forum indeed.

Both images (Android Vs PinePhone/VollaPhone) also have separate OTAs (releases).

Worth noting is that it requires to have installed specific dbus-cpp from the lomiri repo (as versions from other repos are missing some symbols), to link /lib/libboost_filesystem.so.1.66.0 to /lib/libboost_filesystem.so (as the latest boost-libs version is 1.75, and the repo's lomiri is linked to the old 1.66).

In my case, i couldn't make it to start from LightDM, even from the TTY i had to start it with the environment variable: "QT_QPA_PLATFORM=mirserver lomiri-session", as it was failing with an error "This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized.".
