Hi

I'm trying to run pidgin in ubuntu touch which is installed on Nexus 5.

I did try to run it in libertine container, however it fails with the follwoing error.

_XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running
(EE)
Fatal server error:
(EE) Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect: not accepted by server
(EE)

I have also tried to run it without the container using the following desktop file

To run pidgin I am using the following script, launching it from phone's command line

#!/bin/bash

Xmir :1 -mirSocket /var/run/mir_socket --desktop_file_hint=/home/phablet/pidgin.desktop -debug &

However, Xmir failed with the following error.

I also checked that mir_socket is created and reachable under /var/run and /run directories

There are no errors in lightdm file

But Xorg log file shows the following error

The directory /dev/dri is missing on my phone. Although libdrm2 is installed

Any ideas how to overcome this problem?
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowEO:
Unfortunately, the only real good method of running X11 applications on Ubuntu Touch is via Libertine. That's odd that it won't connect to Mir. /dev/dri should indeed be missing from your phone, most phones do not expose DRM/DRI to the OS as they don't always have native support for it (for example, Qualcomm devices require the msm_kgsl_drm kernel module, however that module doesn't compile properly on newer kernels.)

On Android devices, an abstraction layer known as Libhybris is used for handling graphics and hardware by wrapping the native Android drivers and using them.

The only thing I could suggest is possibly creating a new empty libertine container and install only pidgin on it to see if it could possibly be an issue with your container, last time I used Ubuntu Touch, Pidgin worked out of the box in Libertine.
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mqhash:
Thank you for your reply

Unfortunately, I did try to create a new container but same error. No change :( . I even tried to run firefox but same error

What phone were you running ubuntu touch on?
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doniks:
How exactly did you get to this point? Which UT image? Was libertine included? The scope? The app? Did you install parts of it via apt? How did you run it? Where/how do you read the error?

When you say without the container what exactly do you mean? If you only make the desktop file yourself, then there still is only one pidgin executable and that is the one in the container, right ... I don't know how to connect the two.

So, firstly, I think libertine should work, so I'd focus on that first. Secondly, if you want to explore an alternative route, I had things working in the past with:

* install via apt

* write a shell script like yours (search the internet for that desktop_file_hint, it seems to have some magical hidden meaning, you do not want to set it to pidgin, but I think to some uhm, whatdidtheycallit, "unconfined" app I think)

* write a desktop file and point it to shell script, and launch it by tapping on the display

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
That would have been my thought, that the Google app would need to have a wakelock in order to detect the "OK Google" phrase when the screen is off.

What ROM you running? On my (stock OOS 4.1.1) Battery screen, the stop app right now has that same icon, but says "Google Play Services", so not sure if that is related to the Google app (Google Assistant).
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] JayYip:
I'm running OB4. That seems is the problem. But need more time to collect data to confirm it.

I have enabled Google assistant for a pretty long time and didn't have this problem until now. Not sure who to blame though.

After disabling the 'OK Google', my device can doze now. However, the wakeup triggers of Google app is still like crazy... And I use adb top command to see what is eating up my battery. I think that is exactly Google app.

I thought it's because of the OS, so I flashed OOS 4.1.1. But the problem remains. Now I can only get around 3 hours SOT now. It's affecting my life...

Please help... I don't know what to do now.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frankenscript:
Without watching the sequence of events I can't give you a definitive answer about the windows driver, but it's easy to put the shield into fastboot mode. Start with it all the way off. Hold the volume key down, and while holding it down, press the power key until you see the screen light up (it will be black, but in most lighting situations you'll notice it goes from fully off to very dark gray). A second later, release both buttons. It should boot to a menu that lets you go to recovery mode etc... but just leave it at that menu it boots to. Connect to your windows computer and from the ADB/Fastboot directory (using a CMD menu), type fastboot devices <enter>

You should see a device identifier returned (a number sequence) indicating the connection. I went through this last week. I find it works more reliably in fastboot mode than starting with ADB.

Oh! PS: There are actually two "devices" that windows will recognize. One is the standard operating Shield when it is running Android, the other is the Fastboot mode device.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
You need the volume buttons to go to recovery or download mode. Adb only works in recovery mode anyway so thats that.

I think there's a way to clear cache on boot by holding home while pressing power, keeping hold of home while it boots, something like that.

Otherwise you need to open the phone to check the buttons.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] pdenner:
I've found a somewhat hacky solution to the "Waiting for Network" issue I've been running into when I try to update/download apps through the Google Play Store and figured I'd share since it took me forever to find it. The Play Store would like to auto-update to 7.6, but if you go into Settings > Apps > Google Play Store > 3 dot menu > Uninstall Updates, you should revert back to 7.2.

If you open the Play Store again (or even sometimes not...it'll just automatically try to update again immediately) you'll see a notification that something's downloading....that's that update to 7.6. If you move quickly, you can cancel that download and stay on 7.2, which has allowed me to download/update again. Now since I'm not on my phone 100% of the day, it usually downloads the update within the next few days if I don't happen to be on my phone when it attempts an update but I feel like this "solution" I've found, while tedious, isn't too cumbersome.

Note that I haven't needed to touch Google Play Services or anything like that, the problem only seems to be with the Play Store app itself.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nolimit78:
Something much easier: just force quit the play store when it acts up. I have to do that maybe once a week if that. Not a fix but it's certainly an easier band-aid.

Newbie Question

So I am new to this stuff and I am wondering what does OEM unlock mean? Does this mean that the boot loader is unlocked? I have a samsung galaxy s7 edge with AT&T sm-G935A and I am trying to figure out if I can use TWRP and I see where you say no but I have found some sites that say yes and I am confused and do not want to brick my phone. I have rooted it just fine but would like custom recovery options if possible. As I said I am new to this and trying to figure it all out. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jshamlet:
There is no way to get the Qualcomm (US) Galaxy S7's to boot unsigned code. Specifically, Samsung signed code. That means no TWRP or custom ROMs. The engineering kernel (which you rooted with) was leaked and is signed by Samsung, but it will only boot signed kernels. It does, however, make /system read-write so you can add your own system services.

The only good news is that Odin can recover from quite a few situations that would ordinarily brick a phone, but there are no custom recovery options such as what TWRP provides (like a whole ROM backup)

If you want a fully open Galaxy S7 you will have to import one of the Exynos devices, as they are still unlockable for now. However, as Samsung Pay expands, expect those to get locked down at some point in the future.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kangi26:
OEM Unlocking is specifically for "Unlocking" on the carrier side so the device can be used on AT&T/T-Mo/Sprint etc

Bootloader unlocking is a completely different thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] lonewolf00708:
OEM Unlock for Custom OS

That's not entirely true. Turning on OEM Unlock warns that using Custom OS will disable functions like Knox and Samsung Pay. I own an AT&T Galaxy s7 Edge (SM-G935A) running official Oreo OS (Android 8.0.0)

What you have described is Carrier unlocking.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravl13:
Hello,

I am trying to flash an Nvidia Shield K1 tablet back to a factory image for the first time, and documentation from Nvidia is incredibly vague - and existing posts online just seem to say to refer to the Nvidia instructions.

I have enabled Developer Mode on my Shield. It is running Android 7.0, and when connected to my Windows 7 PC, I have made sure it is in "Transfer Files" mode, and not just "Charge USB" mode.

I have installed the current full Android Studio (the one with the UI, it's not some kind of "minimal install"), and according to the SDK Manager > SDK Tools window, I have Android SDK Build-Tools, Android SDK Platform-Tools, Android SDK Tools, and the Google USB Driver installed. I believe this gives me the "adb" functionality which seems to be a prerequisite for flashing a device.

When I open a standard windows command prompt, and navigate to the sdk\platform-tools directory, and run the ".\adb devices" command, it starts the daemon, but does not detect my Shield Tablet - it doesn't output anything after it says "* daemon started successfully *", just a blank carriage return, and then I'm back to the standard command prompt.

One possibility I had considered as to why the device may not be recognized is because there is a "SHIELD Family USB Windows driver" available online, which might be required for a Windows 7 machine to recognize. I can't link it because of absurd forum restrictions because I'm new. But the site is developer(dot)nvidia(dot)com(slash)shield-open-source. There, in the Shield Tablet K1 section, there 's a Windows USB Driver download link

But I downloaded that, and followed the instructions, and encountered an error

Basically, the driver download file for the official NVIDIA USB driver has a bit of a different folder structure than what the accompanying .txt instructions say, but I did find the android_winusb.inf file.

However, when I attempt to actually apply that android_winusb.inf according to the instructions, I get an error message, essentially saying the android_winusb.inf file is incompatible:

Basically, I get to the screen where there is the "Have Disk..." button, and my Shield appears in the "Model" section as a MTP USB device. When I try to apply the android_winusb.inf file, I get an error message saying "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems." My Windows is 7 64-bit.

So, I can't even apply the official Nvidia USB drivers? Is this what's preventing adb from recognizing my devices? How do I apply the Nvidia USB drivers?

Note that I don't think I've ever put my tablet in Fastboot mode before, but I don't think that should be necessary for it to be recognized by the adb devices command, right? If my understanding is correct, adb is NEEDED to put the device in fastboot mode I think.

EDIT: I've also tried this on a Windows 8.1 machine - EXACT same problem.
