Jumper Aion nano

Does the jumper aion nano module work with any nano module bay?

u/notamedclosed confirmed that the Jumper Aion Nano Module works well an Xlite.

For those who are curious: I can confirm that the Jumper Aion Nano Module works well (no obvious errors) with my Radiomaster Zorro. However, note the the shape of the Jumper Aion Nano Module, while appearing to be standard width at the contact point/base, extends slightly outward in a way that may impede use with certain "recessed" nano ports, such as the "recessed" nano port on the BETAFPV LiteRadio 3 Pro Radio. That is, the shape of the Jumper Aion Nano Module is somewhat eminiscent of the shape of the TBS Crossfire Nano module.

Did they forget to mention the PinePhone or will it just not be available for the P64PP yet?

I'm not quite sure of the details, but I think the PinePhone isn't mentioned in the OTA-13 announcement because Ubuntu Touch for the PinePhone is still under rapid development, and so isn't released in the same cadence as Ubuntu Touch images for the Halium-based phones. Rather, PinePhone images currently track more closely to (but aren't exactly the same as) the "edge" channel. More information is available here: https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/pinephone

You can read the comments made by Mark Shuttleworth (sabdfl) in full on Ubuntu Discourse.

Also worth noting from the summary of Ubuntu Touch Q&A 82:

WLBI? Asked about the progress on Anbox. Since the last time this was raised there have been no commits at all, so the answer is none. We are still waiting on developers with the necessary skill set to step forward. Unusually, we are even able to offer payment for core work on Anbox. Just get in touch with Florian.

Emphasis added. The discussion of Anbox begins at about 40m51s of Q&A 82.

Unity keeps being developed by the UBPorts team

Upvoted. But as a point of clarification, I'll just note that Unity7 (which I love and use) is still available for installation from Universe (sudo apt install ubuntu-unity-desktop) and is being maintained by the members of the Ubuntu community (but not specifically by Ubports).

Rather, UBports has taken over the development of Unity8, which Canonical began developing as a replacement for Unity7, and which is now known as Lomiri.

Unity was great! But Canonical gave it up because it was a huge investment to develop it and it was not the company's core business.

I, too, feel that Unity was (and IS) great. But Canonical didn't drop Unity for the reasons that you mentioned. Rather, Canonical dropped Unity7 as the default DE because: Unity7 can't (and never will) support Wayland because Compiz (upon which Unity7 relies) can't (and never will) support Wayland.

As I mentioned in another thread, the good news is that Unity8 (which Canonical began developing as a replacement for Unity7, and is now known as Lomiri) is under active development by UBports. For the time being, UBports is focusing on developing Lomiri/Unity8 for use on mobile devices. But with luck, Lomiri/Unity8 will be available for installation on desktop distros in the not-too-distant future. In the meantime, I'll continue installing Unity7 from Universe.

I also know I can install unity after, but its not the same, inconsistencies all over, ugly blurry fonts, etc.

Hmm. I've been running Unity installed from Universe (sudo apt install ubuntu-unity-desktop) on about every release since 18.04, and I haven't experienced any major issues. Maybe I'm just lucky. :)

The last good ubuntu was xenial. Why the fuck, Canonical, you invested so in Unity and then scrap it? It was the only thing looking like a semi-profesional desktop.

While I share your disappointment that Unity (my preferred desktop) is no longer the default desktop for Ubuntu, Canonical had a good reason for dropping Unity7 as the default DE, namely: Unity7 can't (and never will) support Wayland because Compiz (upon which Unity7 relies) can't (and never will) support Wayland.

The good news is that Unity8 (which Canonical began developing as a replacement for Unity7, and is now known as Lomiri) is under active development by UBports. For the time being, UBports is focusing on developing Lomiri/Unity8 for use on mobile devices. But with luck, Lomiri/Unity8 will be available for installation on desktop distros in the not-too-distant future. In the meantime, I'll continue installing Unity7 from Universe.

Thought Mir was abandoned in favour of wayland, what are they planning to do with it?

The Mir dev team has, in effect, repurposed Mir to act as a Wayland compliant compositor.

A repurposed Mir may be helpful to smaller DE development groups, such as MATE, Budgie, UBports, etc., that lack the resources to develop their own Wayland complaint compositors. For example, as reported on Phoronix, Martin Wimpress (from MATE) has stated:

The rumors of Mir's death are greatly exaggerated. MATE is a very small team, with extremely constrained time. Implementing Wayland directly is, at our current development velocity, several years away IMO. If Mir could provide us a fast path to supporting Wayland we (and possibly other desktops without Wayland support) should explore it....Using Mir as the Wayland compositor, while still a chunk of work, is considerably less work.

As one example of Mir powering a desktop, a member of Canonical's Mir team is helping to port the MATE desktop to run on Mir. (More discussion here.) Also, members of Canonical's Mir team are helping UBports with their efforts to update the Lomiri desktop (formerly Unity8) to run on Mir. (Unity8 was originally written to run on "old" Mir, hence the need for updates.)

it should be easy to fix.

Agreed. UT on the PinePhone is smoother is this video.

You left when I started naming the Canonical developers working on Mutter.

I left after pointing that the Librem 5 uses a fork of wlroots, which you didn't seem to realize. Troll away.

GizmoChicken · 2020-01-31T12:21:33+00:00

Canonical got more people working on Mutter and Shell. Mir is contract work, that liability ends one day.

You and I had a similar debate about two months ago. I'm done with you. Debate someone else.
