Thank you, but… it isn’t working.
I put a .desktop
in to the launcher folder but nothing shows up in the box on the lockscreen.
@FranklyFlawless Does it work for you?

You can use this resource for enabling lock-screen plugins:
Otherwise, you can ask questions in the Matrix chatroom:
Thanks, but have you used this feature?
No, but I have answered all of your questions on how to accomplish this yourself.
I installed ‘landing’ on a Librem 5 to try that, and I’m getting the following:
Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
Calculating upgrade...
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
librem5-base : Depends: flatpak but it is not going to be installed

E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
Is this the current Crimson experience, or is there some way to unblock this and have it work?
Edit:
I switched landing
to crimson
and added crimson-security
and it fixed everything, so maybe nevermind.
No, updating and upgrading packages are normal, other than that Dawn is also targeted for landing
now. If you are having success with changing repositories, you can also consider adding crimson-updates
and crimson-updates-proposed
as well.
Their website was down only for a few days. You can find images at InstallingDebianOn/Purism/Librem5Phone - Debian Wiki
is it possible to upgrade like upgrading debian versions, just chaging the repo?
Yes, but troubleshooting is required:
hmm I see will it be available once it’s ready to upgrade?
Yes, there will be a public announcement from Purism.
Any ETA? Like 6 months? 1 year?
No formal ETA, but monthly blog articles will be published by Purism as Crimson progresses towards a stable release:
The next one will likely be at the beginning of September.
Will it work with the librem5
Hopefully, eventually. Not at the moment (it’s still not done yet). Also, take a look at that dev report.
I have found on Crimson that the bug in nautilus
which did not allow the menu to open has been switched… now whenever I scroll, it opens the menu when I don’t want it! Just pointing it out.
Kinda like the old bug now that I’m used to it
Similar to this behavior:
It occurs exactly every half a second whenever the gesture is detected.
The September update is up now:
While it’s not an ETA, we’ve also moved the milestones to a public group, so you can see what work we expect to reach each milestone and what is complete / in progress. We also have some issues for testing work, which will likely identify additional work needed for those milestones (the “Affects milestone scope” label).
Hi guys.
I am using Crimson on Librem5 in a dual boot sometimes. So when software breaks its kind of okay and I just go back to Byzantium.
But I noticed recently, maybe in the last two weeks, that audio is not working on the L5 Crimson dual boot. It used to work, but now everything is totally silent.
Is there a known regression filed relating to this or should I be pursuing it further? I am using the basic Librem 5 speaker according to settings.
(Of course there are many other regressions in Crimson - the Terminal app doesnt scroll the text to be above the keyboard in Landscape so you can’t see it, all kinds of stuff in nautilus, the Settings app stops me from changing WiFi settings because it doesnt have the Apply button onscreen like Byzantium and doesnt fit to small L5 screen, and is instead off the screen, etc etc etc. But no audio at all hits a little harder because its not regression from Byzantium to Crimson, but now Crimson itself regressing, etc. And I dont see a workaround yet.)
