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

Bug fixes for keyboard navigation, monitor unplug, and modal dialog background rendering (@dos) but also new features like keygrabbing support (to make e.g media keys work) by @devrtz and initial logind support.

@purism

@leimon @purism Not on this video - I switched to 1366x768@60 because this TV looks bad at 1080p for some reason.

@Lofenyy@mastodon.technology @purism phoc is the compositor, phosh is the shell. phoc draws all surfaces on screen and handles window management, but has no UI on its own. phosh provides the UI and implements GNOME interfaces.

phoc is like kwin; phosh is like plasmashell

With phoc being a phone compositor and touchscreen being a primary input device, mouse pointer handling has been a bit neglected - but it's going to change soon! Fixing some pointer-related bugs and adding quality of life improvements in :) @purism

@danielst @purism If you installed gstreamer1.0-libav with the buggy glibc version it would break all video in Epiphany completely (which is why it wasn't installed by default until now).

With latest updates, GNOME Web (Epiphany) can play YouTube videos on the Librem 5, so you won't have to switch to Firefox to do that anymore. And you won't believe where the bug was located[1]! ;) Call `sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-libav` or wait a few days until it's installed by default with the next update and enjoy. @purism

[1] it was in glibc...

@bshah @kde@mastodon.technology @plasmamobile IMO a very good decision. Personally I've always deliberately skipped Halium-based projects in my efforts. Don't just port your stuff to foreign platforms; own the platform! ;)

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

This features automatic media mounting, initial support for background XML, handling of per app `show-banners` notification setting and fixes for swipe window closing by @exalm@floss.social

@purism

Ok, maybe it's not that impressive for a regular person in 2020, but right now I'm playing Neverball in VR mode using cardboard headset with fully FLOSS GL driver (etnaviv) on a GNU/Linux phone (Librem 5) and it's damn amazing! :D @purism

@linmob @isobel Hi, one of the past core SHR team members here :) I have recently found a complete build tree on one of my old hard drives and I plan to give booting it on the Librem 5 a try one day :D

Still waiting for you @purism #Librem5 to arrive, too? Watch @gbryant's nice unboxing and first impressions video of the Librem 5 Evergreen: lbry.tv/@TheLinuxGamer:f/gb-ev

The game is ODGŁOS that takes you through a journey about the origins of electronic and experimental music, which you can play in browser: holypangolin.itch.io/odglos

Librem 5 phone + Steam Controller + TV + Polish Radio Experimental Studio + couch

Starting a phone call from the terminal on a Birch. This call is to the good old "Fröken ur" speaking-clock service telling us the current time in Swedish. Fröken ur apparently existed since 1934 but it was not until 2020 that I learned how to call her from the terminal. 😃 Thanks @dos for the tip that xdg-open could be used in this way. @purism

Librem 5 Visual Walkthrough

"With the Mass-produced Evergreen phone now starting to ship, we put together a video walkthrough of the launch software as well as an overview of the final hardware."

One of the things I've been personally looking for on the was USSD support in Calls. No need to wait anymore, as it was recently implemented by Mohammed Sadiq just in time for the Evergreen release :) @purism

Based on @craftyguy 's -sdl work i added cryptsetup-initramfs support to the 's image-builder so one can build encrypted images too. There's more work needed for this to hit the factory floor but at least one can build own images with encryption once all is merged. The video shows the devkit since this a bit simpler to debug over serial:
