Gnome Contacts Calling

Photon · December 1, 2023, 6:13am

That works well, but my old IBM OS2 habits persist – General Availability.

Here are a few other ideas I thought about:

Turn off and on your Librem 5 and see if the phone icon shows up.
Press the area where the phone icon is supposed to be and see if something happens.

Genuine

Georgia, Atlanta.

I’m going to dust off my Librem 5 today and try this issue on Contacs app

ASwyD2 · December 1, 2023, 6:58pm

Nothing happens. (This has been like this since i updated to 43-beta around the time of the OP)

@FranklyFlawless , you can provide instructions for flashing to Crimson? how stable has it been running? Are their pretty frequent updates?

FranklyFlawless · December 1, 2023, 8:11pm

Okay, let us know if your Contacts app is any different from ours using librem5-goodies.

Sure, the rest of the questions I do not have answers to. However, I suggest that you do not use Crimson for anything important, and that you externally backup your files beforehand. Currently, Crimson images are only built using Jenkins on Evergreen with the plain variant.

Flash a PureOS 10.3 image on a USB drive, then boot it.
Install git, then follow these steps up until you have finished installing the udev rules.
Download the librem5r4.img.xz from landing and u-boot-librem5.imx from mainline, then extract librem5r4.img.xz using Archive Manager to the root of librem5-flash-image. Move u-boot-librem5.imx into the root of the same directory as well.
Execute this code, then follow the subsequent steps thereafter:

./scripts/librem5-flash-image --skip-download --dir ./

Fancy here.

What happens with Contacts after updating PureOS?

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

carlosgonz · December 1, 2023, 10:37pm

I did that before i tried Contacts, so i guess that @ASwyD2 need to Purge Contacts then Reboot then Reinstall to may fix it.

sudo apt purge gnome-contacts -y; sudo apt install gnome-contacts librem5-gnome -y; sudo reboot

FranklyFlawless · December 2, 2023, 12:29am

Okay, I think it is time to contact Purism support then.

ASwyD2 · December 2, 2023, 12:33am

Will it hurt anything if i remove librem5-gnome?

carlosgonz · December 2, 2023, 12:35am

Wait, let me test me first.

EDIT: i still testing …i found one error.

carlosgonz · December 2, 2023, 1:39am

@ASwyD2 can you share output(NoRoot): ‘dpkg -l librem5-gnome’ ?

Photon · December 2, 2023, 8:58am

The buttons work, they just don’t show the right icons. This is true for me in several other apps, as well – both GTK and KDE.
