BQ M10 OTA-7 Update
===================
There is a new update for my Ubuntu tablet available (the OTA-7 from
the UBports [1]). My BQ Aquaris M10 tablet was not updated for a long
time so I wanted to update it. But for some reasons the tablet refused
to update beond the OTA-04. I tried almost everything but at the end I
decided o re-install the tablet.
There is of course a native installer for a Linux desktop (and for the
Windows and the macOS, too). But the Linux one is AMD64-only. As you
may know, I have 2 desktops: one is MIPS, the other is ARM. So I have
to start my old x86_64 laptop, the Lenovo x61s. It sometimes works. And
it worked.
The good news are that the Evernote connection now works and that the
www browser seems to be stable (there are some isues named on the
UBports page but I have not experienced any of these problems).
There are also bad news: the Calendar application not synchronise data
and the Mastodont client (uMastonauts) does not work (it shows only an
empty white window).
Both issues can by solved by using of on-line apps in the web browser.
But it makes use of the tablet less comfortable.
Anyway, I am planning to use the tablet to read scientific books and
articles in PDF. I am usually taking notes during reading so the
working Notes application (which can be synchronised with the Evernote)
is quite important.
P.S. I wrote this text on a Sharp Netwalker. It does have a keyboard
but a strange one - I would feel more comfortable with a Palm and the
stylus. :-(
