docked day 1:
- librem5-base won't transition from PureOS to due to outdated python-apt. Fix that (source.puri.sm/pureos/core/pyt) so I get current configs and meta packges.
- Notice that lets the compositor pick the output for notifications so they might end up no the non-primary one. Fix that as well: source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-
- encrypt the sdcard for mail and other storage

docked preparations II:

- Notice GNOME Settings 3.38 failed to build in . Fix that and add our patch to allow for 200% scaling (source.puri.sm/pureos/packages, gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c)
- Add Byzantium builds for librem5-base and other core packages.

docked preparations: Get a encryted image for Byzantium:

- Get osk-sdl into . Sync with 's packaging and forward the fixes: source.puri.sm/librem5-apps/os salsa.debian.org/DebianOnMobil
- Notice SDL2 is broken on mxsfb (bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrep), 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 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 (i'm usually using on the but I needed something that takes longer to start up so i went for ):

Managing the social media account of an entity has boosted my tolerance to salty, ungrateful people who don't know what they are talking about, don't have a clue about what governance means, don't know how free software is funded, and expect everything tailored for their very specific need for free 🙂

On a more positive note, it highlights on which topics the communication should be made to avoid rumours and disinformation. And that's something I'm going to work on, for free 😉

0.8.0 is out 🚀 : source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-

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!

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

Worth tooting how awesome is

Its the and (sometimes) 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!

Having #fun while doing #Debian #package maintenance: Listening to the music of the #BB #demo for #aalib in an endless loop while preparing a maintenance upload of Debian's bb package. 😃

I always wanted a simple way to do measurements on the with a voltmeter or scope while still having most of the hardware like 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 -next (git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/k) you can run the without any additional patches using the default mainline arm64 . This means distributions can enable it without trouble from 5.12 onwards. The itself needs some more work but it builds a lot on what we have for the devkit.

Purism and Linux 5.8

"Following up on our report for Linux 5.7 this summarizes the progress on mainline support for the Librem 5 phone and its development kit during the 5.8 development cycle."

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