To ease debugging issues on the road i made #gnome-logs shrink to smaller screen sizes. This is based on @brainblasted 's work to make #gnome-logs use #libhandy initially.

#librem5 #phosh #gnomeonmobile #gnome

Bumped #phosh 's test coverage by a factor of 2.5 with a single MR 🏁 (and as always: things like this spot real errors too). Thanks @zbrown for the review.

If you have a hard time calling me in the next days it's because we're reworking the way incoming calls are handled in #phosh / #calls - so you can jump back and forth between locked and unlocked shell (please excuse the video quality). Now we need to fix make it look pretty.

#librem5 #gnomeonmobile #gnome #purism

Been testing @devrtz #sip code in #calls. #phosh reminded me to end that call before restart - nice to see things coming together:

So i wanted to see if developing new system modal dialogs for #phosh becomes simpler (and less code) with the recent changes so i took a stab at the EndSessionDIalog:

#gnomeonmobile @purism #librem5

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:
