Subject: 	AW: [Ubuntu-phone] Meizu MX4 awakes itself from standby

Hi,


sorry for this stupid answer but: where do I have to run evtest? If a 
run it on host computer it just lists the computer's devices but not the 
phone's ones. I tried to run it in the phone's shell but that was not 
possible.


W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock

E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt

E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened


Honestly I don't have any idea what to do. I was using the phone's shell 
the first time.


Greetings, Carolin

Hi,

That sounds like this bug 
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mir/+bug/1547864), especially 
in aspect that pressing the home button will fix it. Anyway, please 
don't press "this bug affects me" yet, but please:

1. Make your device R/W ("phablet-config writable-image" on host
   computer. You have to enable developer mode first), then install
   evtest.
2. Run "sudo evtest", then select touch screen device. It may be not
   clear which one is touch screen, but you'll know if it outputs lots
   of text on the screen.
3. Turn the screen on. Press finger on the home button, then slide your
   finger to screen area without lifting your finger.
4. Press Ctrl+C, then send output of that command to me.

This bug is about Ubuntu's inability to handle some input code from 
kernel. The output from evtest will help me determine if your bug is 
this bug or not.
