Provide me instructions and I will take screenshots.
You can check if the package is available with apt-cache madison sxmo-utils, but I don’t know the correct way to switch to using sxmo instead of the Phosh interface. Usually with gnome, if another desktop environment is installed (such as i3), that allows a person to log out and click a settings icon in a corner of the login screen, where the person can select the alternative desktop. Then, logging in starts the alternative desktop (and the choice persists until it is changed back).
On Phosh, I do not see any such option. Maybe Purism devs know how to do it? @dos @guido.gunther ?

Assuming you want to try out crimson what is the repository link to download the Librem 5 image?
2 Likes
Normally it is fetched from Jenkins, but the API used during the librem5-flash-image script is not functioning correctly the last time I checked it a day or so ago. However, you can still manually download it.
Where though? Is there a link for ARM64 crimson images?

Image Builds landing [Image Builds] [Jenkins]
The file is named librem5r4.img.xz and requires archive extraction.

Awesome thank you for the link, based on this post:
Any image builds in landing are now crimson not byzantium, would be my assumption since it does’t say crimson in the image build file.

Yes, correct. There is no crimson build for the Librem 5 on Jenkins, so landing is the workaround to that other than building your own image.

Jenkins is successfully building images again, so I reflashed Crimson and noticed a few immediate changes:
- Haptic feedback works across the entire operating system.
- Partitions utilize the entire eMMC, so there is no need to resize them to install Flatpaks, etc.

I hope the upgrade to modemmanager resolves the intermittent delays in initializing the modem.

Camera works in Crimson?
1 Like
Specify the packages and/or Flatpaks.
In the Byzantinium release it calls itself “Camera” and is part of the distribution after flashing the phone

Sure, but that is not the package/Flatpak, so specify it as mentioned earlier.
It was installed with the original flash of Byzantinium. Somewhere I have heard that it could be “Millipixels” or so?
