Awesome! _______
Assuming you want to try out crimson what is the repository link to download the Librem 5 image?
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.
There were a bunch of package installations and updates on Crimson today, much more than usual:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
bsd-mailx cron-daemon-common
exim4-base exim4-config
exim4-daemon-light gettext-base
grub-common grub-theme-pureos
libefiboot1 libefivar1 libfuse2
libgnutls-dane0 liblockfile-bin
liblockfile1 libunbound8 os-prober
plymouth-theme-pureos
pureos-artwork-base
pureos-init-disk-crypto
The following packages will be upgraded:
cron gnome-initial-setup
libmm-glib0 libyelp modemmanager
yelp
I hope the upgrade to modemmanager resolves the intermittent delays in initializing the modem.
Yes it did.
Camera works in Crimson?
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?
ii millipixels 0.22.0-1pureos1 arm64 GTK3 camera app for mobile using the V4L2 media request API
Millipixels has an unmet dependency.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
millipixels : Depends: libtiff5 (>=4.0.3) but it is not installable
Any way to build this missing module from GIT or any other possibility to make the Camera working?
Provide instructions and I will execute them.
This is a question for the developers. Any way to compile/build libtiff5 in an appropriate way from sources?
There is something like silence over all the things about Crimson… Looks not very promising ATM
All has to be “pulled out of the nose” of Purism.
The lack of all informations here give me the impression to look for PM-OS as a future alternative on the L5
