Nope. the tss (at the latest try) seemed to resolve with simple dpkg --cofigure -a and all the suggested packages were installed. I’ve ran out of things to try. Only thing showing is that there is no LUKS prompt (text that shows intermittenly seems to indicate that there is some automatic input that fails to open LUKS as it reaches the limit for tries, before it goes blank). There is no prompt, no input possibility (even tried external methods) and no way to get any feedback, so I’m stumped. I can’t figure what in the apt process would or could effect those parts that startup before system is even started. Does the backport update have something that messes with boot?
May have to wait for crimson and/or crimson backports.

I don’t have luks. That might make a difference

But I have both on the mmc and sd-card and everything works pretty good… I think a problem could be in initrd generation that may be blocked by tpm-udev, but it is really difficult to say without logs.
Crimson backports are in the progress, but they need more time that is really limited for me…

Haha, very ahead, nice. But crimson is not even close to use so far.

I’m sure Purism will solve these issues very soon

Some notes so far: after a few false tries, I’ve managed to do a suitable partial upgrade (sans those tss-related files), and when that failed the boot again, I used an earlier boot partition image that I wrote on top of the created failing one. At least most of my byz is now backported - looks nice (gain, thanks @galilley). I still have a group of 50 various files to upgrade (doing it a few at a time - synaptic has helped [works from terminal via sudo -E synaptic]) but so far so good - any setbacks and I can always return to previous working state with disc images. Still unclear why this happened, though (haven’t looked into it that much).

Seems like re-writing the boot partition is valid workaround (needed again, but all loaded).
In other news, millipixels update won’t install due to unmet dependency: libcamera0.3 (>= 0.3.2). @galilley can that be added to your repo?

Hi, so I have installed everything awhile ago after many tries. Question to ask, should I comment out the repo in the source.list? Or keep it there for apt update?
Also, is there anyway to disable the transparent background on phosh in this backports? Thanks

I do not know… You can keep it for further updates.
I believe @guido.gunther can give an advice about transparent background

The transparent background is very annoying and visual disturbing when we do the multi tasking on the phosh. The pmos version phone is also the lastest without the transparent background.

For phosh and backgrounds, start a new thread. Also see, if you get any hints from old threads, like: TUTORIAL: Add a Custom Background in Phosh and Phosh User Customizations

Fixed! Thanks for reporting

Just add fresh Clapper and Livi.
The first one works pretty good (with HW decoding).

Unrelated to those players, I noticed I don’t have video streaming or audio working. I tried installing some additional files/codecs and got streaming video to work, but if I unmute it, it stops. Audio test is also not heard. Same with headphones and normal stereo. Could someone verify either that they have similar issue, or preferably, that they have video and sound working in backports and can provide a list of their installed pulseaudio and pipewire files here (just to check if my install is missing something).

Just to check, did you reconfigure wireplumber to be used for video-only?
Please see No Sound section in the readme.
Which kind of streaming video you try to watch? Could you provide the link and the way how you play it so I could check?

I’ll check those [d’oh, right, I forgot about the notes on sound]. Even just normal youtube failed.

Nope, no help. No sound from anywhere (that video thing is probably just a bonus). Irritating.

youtube works well for me (in Chromium). Calls and music too… Are you sure that apt dist-upgrade finished without issues?
You could check the status of pulse-audio:
$ systemctl --user status pulseaudio
And look to the logs to find the reason.

Ay, seems a dive into those is needed. I was hoping I could avoid that…
Just looking for “error” gave nothing that seemed sound related, just some kernel, bluetooth and sqeekboard stuff. Apparently from jounalctl, we find that pulseaudio has “Failed to create sink input: sink is suspended” [maybe BT related - I have BT disabled], alsa has “alsa_card.platform-sound.hdmi lacks speaker and/or earpiece port”, “error opening hctl device”, “unmet condition check (ConditionPathExists=/etc/alsa/state-daemon.conf)”, “kernel: alsactl … called without MFD_EXEC of MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL set”, “process ‘/user/sbin/alsactl -E HOME=/run/alsa -E XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/alsa/runtime restore 1’ failed with exitcode”, and nothing iteresting from pipewire.
“Vlc” shows “unknown libva error”, “Extension “DRi2” missing” and “vaInitialize: operation failed”.
Can you or someone do sudo journalctl |grep "<something>" on yours to see, which ones you don’t have, just to rule some of them out before digging in deeper.
