Feedback DeltaTouch as flatpak

User Testing

I tested postmarketOS 26.06 on Librem 5 a few days ago and plasma-camera was able to access the Librem 5’s camera… although the experience wasn’t great - it was freezing for me.
I just noticed the version packaged even in Alpine edge is several releases behind the current one.

Linmob reported on a major improvement in camera functionality:

Linmob has an RSS feed, and thus can be subscribed to in DeltaTouch by sending /sub https://linmob.net/feed.xml to a group to which you have added any RSS bot.

Sounds great, but it’s “only” for the SHIFT 6MQ and Pixel 3, unless I am missing something?

Yes, you are right. Retailing devices without open drivers is anticompetitive behaviour…

I did try the fix you recommended for the missing and monochrome emoji, and it worked. For any readers of this thread having difficulty accessing Github, the fix is thus:

File content for 56-ut-emoji.conf (license):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">

<!--
  This fontconfig file is needed for the color glyphs to take preference on our
  older Qt (5.12). Copied from the version at:
  https://github.com/mateosalta/fonts-emojione-packaging/tree/patch-1
-->

<fontconfig>
  <alias>
    <family>serif</family>
    <prefer>
      <family>Noto Color Emoji</family>
    </prefer>
  </alias>
  <alias>
    <family>sans-serif</family>

  <alias>
    <family>monospace</family>
    <prefer>
      <family>Noto Color Emoji</family>
    </prefer>
  </alias>
</fontconfig>

Save that text as a text file named 56-ut-emoji.conf, or download it from Github, and put it in the correct folder:

sudo mv ~/Downloads/56-ut-emoji.conf /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/

Link it from the active-config folder to activate it:
sudo ln -s /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/56-ut-emoji.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/

There is the broader problem that the default conf did not default to a font that at least contained the missing glyphs, which is what fallback fonts like Unifont are supposed to be for. When the missing glyphs are an entire language and not just auxillary glyphs like emojis this is a much bigger problem. But this is clearly an upstream issue!
