@Anarcat …that seems to do basically what I described but will have a bit of a hard time landing in Debian.

@Anarcat You'd need a pinentry that uses e.g. layer-shell protocol to become kind of a system modal dialog guaranteed to be on top of all apps. It could even be triggered by gnome3 pinentry which just uses gcr underneath.

phosh (Wayland) does it like that (but won't work with sway (for reasons unrelated to this issue)):

@AlexxandroiD Did you switch away from tinydm? tinydm's log are at ~/.local/state}/tinydm.log (see https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Display_manager) but no idea where gdm logs are on pmOS (no `journalctl`). Finding and inspectiong the log will likely tell more why the session fails.

The #feedbackd #Rust bindings are now available on crates.io: https://crates.io/crates/libfeedback

@argv_minus_one I guess besides being lucky and getting a cheap used (or maybe never used because it didn't meet expectations) device there's little options atm. I hope prices go down as adoption grows.

@argv_minus_one pinephone falls into the same category.

Whenever I have to deal with #LinuxMobile on devices that formerly ran android I realize how super simple things like flashing and debugging are on the #Librem5 compared to that.

No odd partition schemes, no super sensitive boot loader that gives up on the first glitch. Just #uboot and if all else fails #jumpdrive.

@paoloredaelli @luana @pavel 😃

Waydroid does run apk but I assume you need access to a smart card reader? Haven't tried that.

@paoloredaelli @luana @pavel At least for the L5 I can say there's lots of potential for improvements (leveraging the M4 core, suspend more, freeze background processes, …). There's limitations compared to the heavily mobile optimized SoCs of today but it should be possible to get into an o.k. state "out of the box".

Regarding CIE (e.g. cie-middleware) so looks like yet another a project for someone to pick up.

@debacle @luana @pavel Having organicMaps will be nice! 👍 There's also puremaps with osm scout server. Both are available as flatpaks (not as debs yet).

@luana @pavel Battery live is either short or (with suspend) the phone won't yet wake up on e.g. incoming Matrix/XMPP messages (but wakes up fine on e.g. incoming calls / SMS).

We have lots of things to make the user experience nicer on the phosh side and some gaps like e.g. Android Auto, Cellbroadcast support or nice BT integration but things make steady progress.

2️⃣ /2️⃣

@luana Using a #Librem 5 with #phosh (on #Debian based distros) since several years. All the common bits (phone calls, SMS, mobile data, GPS positioning, proximity and orientations sensors, leds, haptic feedback, cameras, …) etc work.

The app ecosystem (as mentioned in this thread) is growing and has nice options already. Camera usage has some quirks (userspace / app limitations) but there's 3A (thanks @pavel) so "point and shoot".

@purism Nice you like the release but wouldn't it be better to boost https://fosstodon.org/@phosh/112445825369450917 rather than copy the message verbatim?

@ahoneybun @phosh Not that I'm aware of but see https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/squeekboard/-/issues/374 and related issues.

I needed #Rust bindings for an app to interact with #feedbackd to submit #haptic feedback. Here's the generated bindings for libfeedback in case someone else needs it too:
