#librem5 docked preparations II:
- Notice GNOME Settings 3.38 failed to build in #PureOS #Byzantium. Fix that and add our patch to allow for 200% scaling (https://source.puri.sm/pureos/packages/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/1, https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/942)
- Add Byzantium builds for librem5-base and other core packages.
#librem5 docked preparations: Get a #luks encryted image for #PureOS Byzantium:
- Get osk-sdl into #PureOS #Byzantium. Sync with #Debian's packaging and forward the fixes: https://source.puri.sm/librem5-apps/osk-sdl/-/merge_requests/3 https://salsa.debian.org/DebianOnMobile-team/osk-sdl/-/merge_requests?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%93&state=merged
- Notice SDL2 is broken on mxsfb (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=981722), check current SDL2 hg works and use an older version for now that also works.
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:
@spaetz Thanks - if we're missing a dependency or something let me know!
@mobian can you link to the patch you used to fix that? Phosh doesn't detect physical keyboards on it's own (https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phoc/-/issues/98) so i don't think that's the root cause.
@adam @zbrown whenver it comes to proress bars https://xkcd.com/612/ comes to my mind 🙂
@okennedy @adam exactly! The whole point is to demo that we detect the app launch correctly, come up with some animation and have a rough idea when to close that thing (which is the most complicated bit). Spinners, nicer graphics, etc are yet to come. It's all divide and conquer:separate UI representation from the lower level plumbing so design and plumbing can progress.
@bshah For what exactly?

Using #gimp on the #librem5 works better now thanks to the new display scaling feature in #phosh 0.8.0 #UserFreedom #mobile #gnu #linux #freesoftware @purism @agx #gnomeonmobile
#phosh 0.8.0 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.8.0
Changing output resolutions and scaling via GNOME Settings should now mostly work, system modal dialogs don't pop up on the lock screen anymore plus more fixes and i18n improvements. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!
@zoot@fosstodon.org @someunexpectedsparks thanks! /cc'ing #gnome #phoc and #squeekboard - without those #phosh wouldn't be possible.
@bart sure, if the hks is exposed as rfkill hard-blocked state (https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-next/-/merge_requests/77) - I'll take that upstream to figure out the correct #linux kernel interface now that we have #phosh as a consumer.
The state of the #librem5 's microphone hardware kill switch wasn't indicated so far but that is bound to change:

Worth tooting how awesome #phosh is
Its the #librem5 and (sometimes) #pinephone home screen and just plain works. Launch/kill apps, no prob. Add shortcuts, no prob. Notifications, no prob. etc
How discouraging would it be if the phone’s “center” wasn’t solid as you fuss about trying all these non-mobile apps. It isn’t “why” you use a phone but it is integral to how.
As I understand it, this is largely @agx 's work. So here’s a thanks to you and the whole phosh crew for advancing mobile linux!
@someunexpectedsparks thanks for the kind words! There's way more contributors to #phosh than just me though, see https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/blob/master/debian/changelog for the full list!

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:
