I can’t install librem5-goodies
as described in the Wiki https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/community-wiki/-/wikis/Tips-&-Tricks with sudo apt install librem5-goodies
, it says ‘not found’. Any hints?
Did you sudo apt update
first?
I see that apt search goodies
returns a bunch of applications, one of which is librem5-goodies
, from the amber-phone repo.
Are the included sripts perhaps installed on your phone as separate apps already?
Contacts importer
Screen Shot
Scale the Screen
Or are you maybe already on Byzantium?
apt search goodies | grep librem
does not show anything. The mentioned apps I do not see installed. And yes, I did sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
before as described in the Wiki.
About Byzantium
, how could I check this?
In the Software store app, click the “hamburger” menu and then “Software Repositories” to see what’s installed.
You can also find the package here: https://repo.pureos.net/pureos/pool/main/libr/
Not sure why it doesn’t appear in your search.

Maybe their functionalities are already incorporated into other applications…? Check Contacts
for an import option, for instance.
librem5-goodies isn’t available in byzantium yet - there are some dependencies to bring over first.
OK, but how could I load contacts? Is the possible with evolution like in the Ubuntu:
11. Import and export of Contacts
Contacts can be imported from vCard files:
$ syncevolution --import test.vcf backend=evolution-contacts
#0: pas-id-552B785D00000008
see also: http://askubuntu.com/a/372342
If you have many vcf files, put them in a directory and pass the directory name as
the --import argument.
syncevolution is exactly the missing dependency we’re working on bringing back to byzantium: https://source.puri.sm/librem5-apps/syncevolution/-/issues/1
Wouldn’t it be better to ship the librem5-goodies as separate packages? At the moment, I would like to be able to make screenshots. I have no need for Contacts importer, because I use Nextcloud.
For everyone looking for a quick workaround this issue check this post:
Separating the scripts would mean creating and maintaining deb packages for all of them. This package was created as a place to put temporary helper bash scripts in one place to make it simpler to maintain.
If all goes well the package librem5-goodies
should be in byzantium in less than 2 weeks.
Until then, if you really want, you can download these files:
move them to the respective directories and install grim
to have the screenshot script.
The package librem5-goodies
is now in the landing
repository. Meaning that in the next 6 days it should be available in PureOS Byzantium.
The new version includes:
- contacts importer script
- screenshot script
- an app to make recordings of the librem 5 screen
The scale the screen script was removed because phosh
now supports scaling the screen from: Settings > Displays
(no need to have a script for it if it is supported).
Thanks a lot to put back syncevolution because it’s essential in order to syncrhonized my CardDav adressbook and CalDav calendars from my Synology NAS server.
syncevolution
and librem5-goodies
are now in PureOS Byzantium.
FYI, I see it with apt-get, but not in the software store app.
this is a bug, thanks for reporting
