Aside of PureOS as a distro itself, there are other things that we need to catch up with upstreams with as well. One of them is our Linux tree for the Librem 5, which has been stuck on 6.6 LTS for a while. As the first step forward, linux-image-6.12.0-1-librem5 is now available to install from crim…

Kernel 6.12.75 has been made the default one in crimson-updates-proposed and landing yesterday. Migration excuses for linux-librem5 6.12.75pureos1~cri1 - PureOS

It has both 9.0 V 2A and 5.0V 2A (I missed 5.0 V 2A when typing). So 65W, 45W, 18W and 10W are supported.

I bought a new 36W charger and with it I can suspend without issues while still charging. So I think the issue was really with my broken charger which likely did not honor its voltage promise. This new one has 5V-3A/9V-3.4A/12V-3A options for USB A and 5V-3A/9V-3.67A/12V-3A/15V-2.4A/20V-1.8A option…

It appears that there may have been a regression in the smartcard-reader-behaviour with the latest kernel update (I’ve been using 6.12 ever since the first announcement on this thread). Symptoms are as described here: Smartcard reader issues since update to "Crimson"

Nothing changed regarding smartcard reader for a long time now, so if you were having intermittent issues since upgrading to Crimson with its newer Debian base then it’s likely still the same thing regardless of the running kernel.

Ok, strange. Ever since the 6.6-Version mentioned in the other thread my issues stopped and didn’t reappear when I updated to 6.12, but it appears that they are back now. So the cause is potentially elsewhere.

Updated kernel 6.12.79 is now available in crimson-updates-proposed: fixes the issue with the display not turning on with old u-boots that was introduced in 6.12 kernels enables pstore/ramoops, which lets you gather logs after the phone reboots due to an unexpected kernel panic post-factum (it’ll …

Just installed 6.12.79 and the screen turned on. Thanks for the fix. Reference: [image] Crimson beta released! PureOS I can reproduce the issue on your old version of u-boot. The phone boots, but the screen stays off. This should give me enough rope to debug i…

[image] dos: The version can be checked with bm818-tools. Do you know what it means if bm818-tool says it’s unable to detect the firmware version? Debugging steps taken: rebooted the phone, and that’s it. Same result.

[image] dos: Remember that the modem firmware version needs to be at least V1.0.0.2_20220930 Please, @dos , could you help me to understand? Using bm818-tool I can read: FW version M100E_YOU SN0_1.0.0_220926 YCSN0_M100E_1BAD_3117_V1.0.0.2_20220930 M100E_1.0.4_200715 So, ultimately, whic…

[image] veleno: YCSN0_M100E_1BAD_3117_V1.0.0.2_20220930 Obvious this. It is very unlikely to find a wrong long number that matches 100% of the sign. Also the length of the others do not fit the long number (which is probably the date 2022.09.30, while the others shorten the year number from 2…
