As net connection works before and gets degraded, those files apparently are removed by the process at some point, so installing them too early may not help. Then again, I’m not sure at what point that happens. You should be able to see it on screen though, if you scroll up. What you should be able to do, just in case, is to dl those files in advance, so you have them in your device, before you lose net connection during the process (no need to use sd or usb).

I wasn’t able to avoid the auto reboot during the dist-upgrade process, it reboots before the process finishes, and the boot loop. I forgot how I was able to stay installation without rebooting last time but lost the connection. I have downloaded the zip, but wasn’t able to proceed the installation system container Deb because of the boot loop. I don’t use luks

Did you even try to boot from sd-card? Any kind of distro… This is only way to catch the logs from your system as far as I know.

no I haven’t but according to my previous successful tries, I dont need to boot from the sdcard because it wont auto reboot half way through the process. let me play around it.

Finally got it to work. Very tricky workaround. I reflashed a new byzantium image, and directly applied the backports without updating first. I expected it will reboot in the middle but this time, it gives a console login after reboot. Since that, I did many times dist-update, fix broken install, apply systems container and resolver locally if I found the connection is lost. After all applied, I installed the phosh plugins and kbd, it finally worked with the GUI and connect after rebooting.
So far the only problem is I can’t receive MMS but I can send MMS, I am using at&t

Thanks. I finally got a liberty phone and got this working. But there is an issue so that, after applied the backports, some other Applications won’t install due to the higher installed packages. Such as libre office won’t install.

Strange, I have installed libreoffice and it works fine. Could you provide the output of the apt install?

I will apply the backports again tonight ha. It is just inconsistent, sometimes I will miss the setting app, or gnome console…
By the way, if I installed an app that is not installable after applying the backports tldur to dependency problem first, will it still be working after I apply the backports? Say, waydroid requires python 3.9 but backports is python3.11, if I install waydroid first then apply backports, can I still run the waydroid after it? Just a thought

I leave some python3.9 installed:
$ LANG=en apt list --installed | grep python3.9
libpython3.9-minimal/byzantium-security,now 3.9.2-1+deb11u3 arm64 [installed,automatic]
libpython3.9-stdlib/byzantium-security,now 3.9.2-1+deb11u3 arm64 [installed,automatic]
libpython3.9/byzantium-security,now 3.9.2-1+deb11u3 arm64 [installed,automatic]
python3.9-minimal/byzantium-security,now 3.9.2-1+deb11u3 arm64 [installed,automatic]
python3.9/byzantium-security,now 3.9.2-1+deb11u3 arm64 [installed,automatic]
Anyway, apt logs should show which exactly packages are required.

python3.9 wasnt removed? have you done the autoremove or it stays there? I dont see mine there.

I tried it yesterday again, clean byzantium, update, then applied the backports from ssh. the python3.9 was replaced by python3.11 because a lot of packages are using python3.11 I was wondering if we can install multiple python3 versions? Ubuntu does that. not sure how the debian works.

It is strange as far as I can not remove python3.9 due to dependencies:
$ sudo apt remove python3.9
...
The following packages will be REMOVED:
gedit librem5-gnome python3.9
...
And I do not use apt autoremove.

Weird, so last night as I said that I did a clean image byzantium, dist-upgrade first, then add the backports repo and follow whatever it takes to upgrade and then I saw python3.11, I didn’t do auto remove either. I will try again

Is Chatty stable for you? I may need to try backports.

What is ‘stable’ for you?..
It works well with sms and show me notification about whatsapp (WA) messages using libpurple (LP). I can not answer as I do not see any WA contacts due to lacks in integration with LP, but it is not for what chatty was designed. I built the last version with ‘debugoptimized’ rather that ‘plain’ and it seems that it woks a little bit faster that before. So, it is better to try and do it with some large number of messages.
