Mobian on Librem 5

Did you try a different browser ? If you were using Firefox, try gnome web. You can also report the issue to GitHub · Where software is built

So the only irritation I have is with FreeTube app [Bug]: many ui elements are invisible on librem 5 · Issue #7311 · FreeTubeApp/FreeTube · GitHub Everything else seems to work very nicely.

This one has been a problem on Byzantium for a long time.

There is also this one: [Bug]: Missing icons · Issue #5919 · FreeTubeApp/FreeTube · GitHub

I recently tried the nightly build of FreeTube by installing the .deb directly and it did not fix the issue for me, at least.

I have the Librem 5 on Mobian Trixie as a backup phone, and recently needed to use it. I was frustrated to find out that within the past few weeks, I suppose some update made it so callers can no longer hear me, though my mic seems to work fine in settings, and audio recording applications. I suppose it has to do with the work being done around this type of stuff.

An issue I didn’t seem to have before on Byzantanium (but maybe my memory doesn’t serve me well), is sometimes from suspend, it does not detect a Bluetooth adapter, but does for the Wi-Fi.

So you’re on bookworm yet, on trixie everything was changed. There was the suggestion to “modernize” apt and I did so.

There is no such suggestion in this topic by anyone.

It’s something like this:

I can’t find official info on debian wiki.

[Your phone] simply struggles to render

A.k.a. Works On My Machine → ticket closed :roll_eyes:

I’ve been using FreeTube for a long time, and the problem appeared one day after an upgrade of FreeTube. So maybe someone patient enough might find the exact release which caused the regression.

You may want to switch to pulse audio as described in in Mobian on Librem 5 - #44 by praveen.arimbrathodi (I have uploaded modified packages in my personal repo). pipewaire does not have echo cancellation implemented yet.

It does have echo cancellation implemented and had it for a long time, but it doesn’t implement automatic filtering based on stream’s properties which is what wys relies on.

I have added firefox-esr-mobile-config also to my repo which now supports librewolf. If you install librewolf from repo.librewolf.net, you can now have adaptive version of librewolf.

I wanted to avoid official firefox since Mozilla changed their terms of service recently (on laptop I use gnome web mostly - on Librem 5 also I can use gnome web, but on FLX1 I can only use Firefox as gnome web is slow and librewolf won’t start due to missing gpu support - old android kernel).

So

  1. On laptop has gnome web, librewolf
  2. On Librem 5 gnome web, librewolf, kumo (but since no ad blocker, I don’t use it much)
  3. On FLX1 only firefox

I do have to use firefox when I have to use pass, which don’t work with librewolf yet.

In another huge leap in functionality, alarms now wake up Librem 5 from suspend Pirate Praveen: "Thanks to awesome work by @agx@ruhr.social #Libre…" - Mastodon thanks to excellent work by @agx So now I don’t need to depend on FLX1 to wake me up.

In fact alarms already worked a few month ago using waked as a workaround. It is really nice that now it works natively!

When it wakes up, does it play “I got you babe” as it did in the movie “Groundhog Day” ?
