У меня вопрос к федерациям а так же пользователей к данной модели телефона...

Если я прошью recovery на данном аппарате а так же прошью его на pmOS то с какой долью вероятности postmarket не запустится? Шанс окирпичивания 50/50

Have had mine for 2 years now and it still just werks. Yeah Firefox on phosh can be a little buggy and my modem sometimes doesn't wake back up after a long suspend, but overall am I happy to running bare metal busybox/Linux on an open hardware, fully repairable phone.

@pavot @nekothegamer Gnome Calendar dind't work on #postmarketos stable for me but started to work again lately on edge. On Karlender creating or editing events don't work for me, so I use both Gnome for editing and creating and Karlender for easier view of events.

TIL that using <<- with heredoc ignores leading tabs, so you can make those a bit more readable in scripts. Thanks Piraty for teaching me that one! (on #postmarketOS chat)

I thought I was going to use #postmarketOS for a couple of days and go back to android (grapheneOS), but it's been a week now and I haven't really felt the pull to go back yet.

So far things have been working well. Still some bugs, still some crashes, but it's working as a phone reliably enough where I feel confident to use it as my only phone every day. 👍

We recently discovered that the #libcamera + #pipewire stack was actually broken on most distros for devices requiring an IPA - such as the #PinePhonePro and other mobile phones - when using distro-packages and not building either of the two projects from source.

#ArchLinux / #Manjaro and #Alpine / #postmarketOS have updates for that in the pipe now.

#debian got that fix a bit earlier already, #Fedora will likely follow soon.

tl;dr: the modern linux camera stack is slowly falling into place.

Anyone know why #linuxmobile operating systems like #postmarketos, #ubuntutouch / #lomiri or #plasmamobile, etc so rarely offer stable or easy to install versions for #x86 devices? Say what you want about the architecture, but x86 tablets are very common and are often way easier to work with for #linux because they use standard UEFI. It's ironic that it's super easy to install desktop Linux on an x86 tablet, but it's hard to get mobile Linux which can take full advantage of touchscreen working.

I have noticed that when I make calls from the Pinephone (postmarketOS/Phosh/GNOME Calls) my caller id is hidden. Can't figure out how to change that.

Using the SIM in another phone makes the caller id visible to the receiver once again, so I assume something is up with the Pinephone and not my provider.

I think the only piece of software I'm really missing is a #Subsonic or #Navidrome client on pmOS. The web UI for navidrome works, but I'd much prefer something nicer. Unfortunately I have too much music for this tiny #OnePlus6 😭

Starting to get to the point where my #oneplus6 running #postmarketOS is very usable. While I always have both my android and pmos phones on me, I find that I can accomplish 99% of tasks on my pmos device. The only thing I really need android for at the moment is the camera, and even then I rarely use it.

Linux on mobile is looking really good right now.

Any music player recommendations for #postmarketOS running #phosh? Looking for something that supports #Navidrome/#Subsonic, as my oneplus6 doesn't have enough room for all my music.

I've been using the browser, but it would be nice to have a proper client.

Hello again #postmarketOS edge users! Big thanks to all who helped test my last set of patches!! Now that that one is over with, I have a new one ready!

Quite often I was burning through my mobile data cap *much* quicker than normal, because a lot of traffic was being routed over mobile data... despite being connected to a perfectly fine, unmetered wifi network.

This patch should help reduce the chance of that happening. Please help test if you can!

Does any of you #linux #kernel or @postmarketOS people have any idea what's going on with my #samsung #tablet when I enable #hardware #acceleration in @firefox? It seems like it renders the first few bits of text towards the top and then just stops. It works fine without hardware acceleration, but it's so much smoother with it.

The Kernel: https://github.com/msm8916-mainline/linux

I've never done kernel work, any ideas on where to start hacking?

#postmarketos #linux

Trying to flash @postmarketOS onto my Motorola Moto e 2020. So far, here are the issues I've encountered:

- nobody provides *any* images for it, aside from Motorola
- trying to find all the necessary bits are a massive pain in the ass, because they're all spread out across the internet
- documentation on pmOS isn't all that great for adding new devices

If anybody has experience with this, it would be appreciated.

I recently aquired a used Pixel 3a to have a well supported #UbuntuTouch device again. Of course I went with 20.04 rc, it's boring when _everything_ works, right? (20.04 is pretty great already, btw - great work everybody!)

Now here's the dumb idea: I would love to run a #postmarketOS / alpine container to get the apps I am used to in addition to what OpenStore has to offer.

This week's donation went to Clayton Craft, aka "Craftyguy". He is a core developer on the PostmarketOS project. He accepts donations through Liberapay.

https://liberapay.com/craftyguy/

PostmarketOS is a great distro for the Pinephone among other devices. It is based off of Alpine Linux and uses OpenRC instead of Systemd. It also is one of the few mobile distros that offer an actual installer for the Pinephone as well as full disk encryption.

https://postmarketos.org/

Craftyguy has a presence on Gitlab; Mastodon; Matrix and has a blog.

Greetings #postmarketOS edge users! This is a general call for help testing changes to our initramfs, testing instructions are at the top of the description here: https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/3895

Since this modifies boot files, you kinda need to know what you are getting into... and it's obviously not recommended if you rely on your device in any capacity.

Anyways, please help us test this out so we can get it in soon! Thanks!

1. On the #pinephone or #librem5 or any similar smartphone running a GNU/Linux system such as #Mobian or #PostmarketOS with a gnome window manager:

gsettings set sm.puri.phosh.lockscreen shuffle-keypad true

This shuffles (scrambles) the keypad order (layout) after each attempted login. Or do this through the 'Settings' gui.

Just one element of multi-layer security.

Wonder if anyone has any ideas why the new Alpine Linux musl/ARM64 Node.js build is failing and/or can help fix it.

https://github.com/nodejs/unofficial-builds/pull/59#issuecomment-1436328696

If we can get this fixed soon-ish (before it’s reverted) it’ll mean – among other things – that Node.js will run on @postmarketOS on phones and other mobile devices.

I've been working on #steamos stuff for @igalia and I couldn't resist porting #postmarketOS to the #steamdeck. Sorry folks.

Controls and audio don't work yet, and probably a few other things, and it's running from SD card (not from nvme or emmc)... But still kinda fun to be able to reach this point after only like half a day of effort.

The #GNOME Shell is making great progress as a #mobile interface. A new video from @cassidy demonstrates the latest developments using a #OnePlus6T running #PostmarketOS. The demonstration uses the regular GNOME Shell with many adjustments, not Purism's #Phosh. The quick settings feature introduced in version 43 of GNOME works particularly well on mobile devices and the gesture navigation is familiar and logical. Keep in mind, this is still in development:

This is huge! #postmarketOS now supports call audio on the #OnePlus6t! Excellent work, postmarketOS team! The new SDM845 modem audio driver seems to work fine, at least for the first call. Still have an issue where earpiece audio gets messed up on subsequent calls though, but the call audio support was just merged so I'm sure they'll fix it. With the impressive CPU power and battery life, this could be a game changing #linux phone!

@planetmozilla I wish Mozilla would start treating Linux phones as first class citizen, Even with just community built fixes Firefox is great on a Linux phone and the primary app platform as there aren't many native apps for 3rd party services.

Mozilla should look at need and start catering to the Linux phone community as displacing the duoploy in mobile ecosystem is in everyone's best interest.

Weekly GNU-like Mobile Linux Update (46/2022): A Ubuntu Touch Q&A and progress with mainlining MediaTek phones

https://linmob.net/weekly-update-46-2022/

#linuxmobile #pinephone #librem5 #postmarketOS #linuxtablet #ubuntutouch

#Volla yggdrasil (original #VollaPhone, left) and mimameid (#VollaPhone22, right) powered by #MediaTek MT6763V and MT6769Z SoCs respectively are now both booting close to #mainline #Linux #kernel v6.1-rc5 and #postmarketOS over USB netboot with #Sxmo :)

Huge thanks to @eriki73 and Luka Panio for contributing to the ports as well! Here's hoping this is the beginning of more MediaTek mainline devices that aren't just Chromebooks

#LinuxMobile #MobileLinux #LinuxOnMobile

postmarketOS booted on the Volla Phone (2020) and Volla Phone 22 (2022) both using close to mainline Linux kernel v6.1-rc5 forks!

@stripey @tulpa to me #PostmarketOS+#sxmo is the most exciting thing happening on the #pinephone today.

1/ the vision of PMOS is really cool, forward thinking and ethical, and the people running it are very dedicated (mobian ppl too by the way ;) )

2/ sxmo is an environment that doesnt try to copycat iOS or Android, but on the contrary to enable endlessly extensive features (what terminal users would seek) through hooks and scripts, while being usable (gestures) AND frugal in resource.

#NeuHier (auf Friendica) 🏐 🏓 ⚽ 🎶 🎸🐧🐾

🤓 Hallo zusammen, hier doch noch eine etwas verspätete #Vorstellung von mir:
Ich bin relativ #NeuHier auf #Friendica

Schon etwas länger, das heißt seit ca. einem Jahr, bin ich auf #Mastodon unterwegs als @caos
Anlass war damals v.a. der Kuketz-Blog. Erst nach und nach habe ich dann kennengelernt, was es noch alles gibt im großen, weiten #Fediversum 🚀

Meine Interessen sind u.a. #Linux #FOSS #Musik und #Sport.

🏐 🏓 ⚽ Ich habe immer sehr viel Sport gemacht, v.a. #Volleyball #Tischtennis #Fußball , bin aber nun leider seit 1,5 Jahren durch eine Knieverletzung im Reha-Training.

🎶 🎸 Musikalisch interessiere ich mich für ein breites Spektrum , nicht nur #Metal , sondern auch #Alternative #Grunge #Punk #Darkwave #Ska 🎺 u.v.m., war auch ab und zu auf Privatpartys als "DJ" 💿 🕺 engagiert und bin gerne auf Konzerten. Einen kleinen Einblick gibt es u.a. in diesem Thread: metalhead.club/@caos/106352109… #DamalsInUnsererRockDiskothek

🐧 Ich bin im Linux-Guides-Forum aktiv und schreibe ab und zu auf gnulinux.ch . U.a. mit Distributionen für ältere Geräte und mit #CustomROM s habe ich mich privat etwas intensiver beschäftigt, um alte Laptops und Mobilgeräte wiederzubeleben, und darüber kleine Artikel geschrieben.
u.a.: #LineageOS #eOS #UbuntuTouch #PostmarketOS #DivestOS #ungoogled #Q4OS #Bodhi #RaspberryPi #LMDE #Sparky #Bunsenlabs

🐾 Vor einigen Wochen habe ich mit Unterstützung v.a. von @Aakerbeere und @ueckueck den Aufruf #KommInsFediverseTaz gestartet. anonsys.net/display/bf69967c-2…

Das war auch einer der Anlässe für diesen neuen Friendica-Account, da der sowohl mit Mastodon als auch mit #Diaspora , wo es schon lange einen semi-offiziellen taz-Account gibt, kommunizieren kann. @taz pod.geraspora.de/u/taz

Darüber hinaus gefällt mir aber Friendica auch sonst sehr gut, u.a. dass es auch auf längere Texte ausgerichtet ist und so auch tiefergehende Diskussionen ermöglichen kann. Ich freue mich über neue Anregungen und weiteren Austausch!
