Crimson backports unofficial

tried it, gsettings and gtk commands, none of them working. The phosh seems to be stuck on the breeze icon and can’t detect any default apps. I am reflashing it to see if the same problem will happen again, Looks like codeberg set the throttle very low. I hit the 429 Error again, and have to wait awhile to upgrade again.

Update: I successfully installed it. So the difference is I have to use ssh from another device to do the dist-upgrade, the phone will not reboot during the networking manager configuration. And I also got the keyboard issue.

As far as I understand this behavior is typical for the new Phosh version. For which distro brightness control works better for you?

It’s not, it’s a mismatch between how the kernel behaves and what Phosh expects.

Hi All, I found another issue after installing it. Not sure if it is only me. The signal reception becomes very weak after installing the backports(the modemmanager did change to the 1.24 I think). because the installation, I can receive almost 3 bars under the basement, now I receive no signals.

Is there some patch to fix that?.. :folded_hands:

There’s I Challenge Thee (which is what I’m using). If you only building for the L5 and don’t care about anything else you can also return `PHOSH_BACKLIGHT_SCALE_NON_LINEAR` at Making sure you're not a bot! which should fix things too (but I haven’t tested that)

@galilley Question about backports updates. Once they have been applied via the apt terminal commands, will they be able to receive updates via the PureOS appstore as well, without having to drop to the terminal again?

Any future PureOS updates can conflict and break systems that use unofficial backports requiring you to fix stuff from terminal (not on purpose, it’s just not a tested or supported configuration).

Would that be an argument for eschewing updates applied via the PureOS store and regularly pulling them from the terminal via apt?

No, both methods come with the same risk.

In general most upcoming updates from PureOS received without problems, but @dos is right, nobody tested compatibility and you may be the first. In this case just write here and I will try to reproduce and fix any conflicts.

I could never get them to install from the store itself because of the unsigned repo problem. So I just always use sudo apt install/update/upgrade
