I've reworked #phosh's system modal authentication prompts to all use a common base class. This makes it simple to add new features like swipe-away based on @exalm@floss.social code and to get consistent styling:

#librem5 @purism #gnomeonmobile

@purism moving the dialog's look a bit close to the designs:

#phosh #gnomeonmobile

If flatpaks ask #geoclue for location service access #phosh can now handle that as a #geoclue agent (which became useful after fixing that for recent kernels using cgroupv2 (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/merge_requests/81):

#librem5 #gnomeonmobile @purism

Bitfields (flags) and Enums are now parsed directly out of the gir XML into headers so they can be used in #erlang:

#gnome #gobject

And this is what it looks on the wire:

This is in it's infancy but here's the first bits of #GObjectIntrospection for #Erlang using a c-node:

This is the jellyfish h264 demo on a #librem5 using the #imx8mq's #hantro VPU.

Using the CPU we take 300% of CPU time, using the VPU instead we take 10% (and even that can be optimized further). Using the VPU also saves ~1.5W of power. Thanks go to the #gstreamer and #linux kernel folks for making this possible!

#phosh will soon honor #gnome-settings-daemons OSD requests: left on the #librem5, right on an external screen):

I don't have to use the command line anymore to fetch #Kerberos tickets on my #librem5 as i made #krb5-auth-dialog adaptive (after some yak shaving):

Let's seen when I can run the whole day with the #Librem5 docked and don't have to turn the laptop on for any task:

This is no where near finished but here's some first bits of startup notifications in #phosh (i'm usually using #epiphany on the #librem5 but I needed something that takes longer to start up so i went for #firefox):

The state of the #librem5 's microphone hardware kill switch wasn't indicated so far but that is bound to change:

I always wanted a simple way to do measurements on the #librem5 with a voltmeter or scope while still having most of the hardware like #wifi attached and being able to swap components quickly. Today i got an idea and it works fairly well. I can even flip the whole thing around fairly quickly to measure on the other side and put the whole thing away to free space on the desk:

As of todays #linux-next (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tag/?h=next-20210112) you can run the #librem5devkit without any additional patches using the default mainline arm64 #defconfig. This means distributions can enable it without trouble from #linux 5.12 onwards. The #librem5 itself needs some more work but it builds a lot on what we have for the devkit.

Besides the scaling from yesterday #phosh now also handles single / join display mode via GNOME Settings (arranging outputs, also changing resolution, rotation). There's bugs to be fixed in #phoc and #phosh to make this fully reliable but if you're careful it's already pretty useful:

#librem5 #gnomeonmobile @purism

Temporarily need more screen space with #phosh? Just scale to 100% instead of 200%:

@purism #librem5 #gnomeonmobile

Since posting a photo with your phone turned into a laptop is such a trend these days I don't want to miss out with my #librem5 and a borrowed #nextdock running #phosh:

usb stick (and other volume) #automounting soon coming to a #phosh near you:

@purism #librem5

... and here's the same from yesterday but on a #librem5.
For some reason #plymouth chokes a little compared to the devkit. Patches are all out there now so everyone can build their own encrypted #PureOS images.

#osk-sdl changes are already merged upstream, thanks @craftyguy

Based on @craftyguy 's #osk-sdl work i added cryptsetup-initramfs support to the #librem5's image-builder so one can build #luks encrypted images too. There's more work needed for this to hit the factory floor but at least one can build own images with encryption once all is merged. The video shows the devkit since this a bit simpler to debug over serial:
