uConsole + Ubuntu 24.04 + Geary email client

uConsole
1

FWIW. I have been using @Rex’s wonderful image for Ubuntu 24.04 on my uconsole. and its been working great. However, when using the Geary (v44) email client, it doesn’t seem to leverage the 3 panel view that i get when using Greay on a larger monitor.

As such, i have rebuild a git build of Geary (v46), which supports 3 panel view on small screens, and tweaked the UI a little to provide a better proportion of the panels for uConsole. I have packaged this into a deb file which can be installed along side the Stock Ubuntu Geary build. i don’t have a repo for it (yet?), but happy to share the deb file to anyone who is interested.

If you like to have a repo ,you can use github as your personal git repo

here is a guide from google

then people can apt install your custom build

good idea. let me think through it. i might try over the weekend. never hosted a repo before as it felt like a lot of work to commit to creating the updates. and perhaps 26.04 would have the new v46. But i could have other setups that i can then share.

you may not, it’s not a requirement for repo :slight_smile:
