Quoting Greg Kroah-Hartman:
"After Android, Debian is by far the largest Linux user, and the Debian
kernel developers do an awesome job of tracking the stable kernel
releases which have been documented to fix 99% of known security issues _BEFORE_ they are known (data produced by Google security team for 2 years straight)."
99% is probably a little over optimistic (there's certainly some fixes which land in stable trees after they are publicly known), but his core argument is spot-on.
@MissBehave Did you do that with another device before? I replaced on once and getting it off with a "heat pistol" was o.k. but I didn't get the glue thin enough so there was a slight gap at the edge of the display after placing the new display.
@admin If it's pmOS stable then I think 0.27.0 is correct.
The tweak setting uses custom CSS (which can break between different phosh versions but did it's job in pmOS well for many releases). As of 0.29.0 it happens out of the box.
There is a long standing issue in #phoc (the #wayland compositor used with #phosh (but as I recently learned also other projects like #bananui) that makes windows flip their size when crossing a screen edge (as tiling is (incorrectly) kicking in). This makes dragging windows around in docked mode harder than necessary.
This is about to improve and (thanks to the ground work over the past months) we can also add some visual feedback:
@admin phosh >= 0.29.0 should handle the notch automatically and move the clock to the side.
@devrtz @kuleszdl I found the student project very interesting as it showed on one hand nicely what gaps there are in the development workflow and documentation and on the other hand how far #libadwaita got us already to make apps easy.
Afterwards @agx talked about "Logs and Backtraces". He explains how meaningful issue reports look like, what tools you have at your disposal on #MobileLinux and more!

I was inspired by this talk so much that I freestyled a "Debugging part two" presentation about "debuginfod", a nice tool that you can use to grab debugging symbols over HTTP using the `DEBUGINFOD_URLS` environment variable.
Followed by an small demo of running #phosh nested.
7/N
I'm really excited for the next release of geoclue: I have worked with the devs to make it functional with #mobilelinux:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/merge_requests/159
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/merge_requests/155
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/merge_requests/160
and GPS works really well with Pure Maps. This was honestly one of the few things that I have really missed when I left Android.
A new issue of #ThisWeekInGNOME is now online!

@nieral @tzafrir @postmarketOS @signalapp signal-cli isn't packaged for Debian yet: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=926807
@francois I like it too and I even know the artist: https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-wallpapers/-/blob/main/debian/copyright#L6
Looking forward to your wallpaper for PureOS crimson !
@devrtz @jayreding @mobian You can't claim to be a universal OS without phone support nowadays, see https://media.ccc.de/v/froscon2022-2797-is_there_hope_for_linux_on_smartphones - so running it on your phone is the new normal.
@purism Digitial media is a mess by my record collection is top notch!
@agx That's a nice wallpaper you have there! 😉
The cover art needs work on the bluetooth side as we don't send that yet but apart from that it works nicely (skipping songs forwards, backwards, etc).

@macspace See https://docs.puri.sm/Librem_5/Troubleshooting.html - if nothing helps contact support.
Flipping the wifi/bt killswitch is sufficient. Here's a short video. The audio quality isn't great but you can hear the switch from speaker to the car's audio:

We just recently discussed signal at #phosh's community get together at #FrOSCon. Flare and the desktop client (registration via signal-cli) were mentioned there. For questions best join https://matrix.to/#/#linuxphoneapps:matrix.org .
