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” ?

Your adaptive Librewolf works really well. With Firefox ESR, my L5 gets quite warm/hot. After a few days of using Librewolf I’m not noticing the heat as much. It’s my go-to browser on the L5 over Brave and Firefox now. Thanks!

Two things to remember 1. If you use a headphone - switch back audio output to speaker manually 2. If you reboot, you have to start clocks again. Hopefully we can handle these two things automatically soon too. Last two days, the alarm did not ring because of this. For now, I have used gnome-tweaks to add gnome clocks to startup applications.

I will mention that Mobian ‘Bookworm’ has been an excellent and stable experience on my Librem 5 USA, enough that it has completely superceded every use case I ever had from Byzantium and Crimson combined, so I cannot justify going back to either now. Most importantly, due to battery life optimizations, I no longer need to constantly tether a power bank for all-day travelling.

and trixie is arriving soon, anyone knows if it’s getting better with trixie or too buggy yet? I am using trixie and it gets very warm sometimes like when playing music via bluetooth to the car, is bookworm better in that regard? Does the camera works on bookworm?

Yes for the last question, and I still do not use Bluetooth.
hmm in regarding to not using bluetooth I should get a jack for the car, much better than using bluetooth indeed.

I have been out of the game for awhile. Did you install the Mobian stable or weekly found here:
I ask because the last stable Mobian image appears to be dated 6/6/2023. Maybe it doesn’t matter. The Mobian website has always been difficult for me to follow.

The mobian-librem5-phosh-12.0.img.gz image is the correct one.

I find that concerning. Before my Pinephone went Tango-Uniform, IIRC, there were updates at least four times per week and major version a couple of times in less than two years. I suppose it really doesn’t matter if it works, but I want a phone distro to update like Linux Mint.

The lack of a new release doesn’t mean no updates. See: Debian.

I’m not able to get VoLTE working on BSNL (India) network. bm818-tool to enable volte seems broken too. VoLTE does not work with BSNL on trixie (#13) · Issues · Mobian Team / devices / librem5-support · GitLab
Anyone got volte working with trixie ?

Sure, but… different modem (https://forums.puri.sm/t/librem5-5g-is-here-working-alternative-modem-setup-tested-successfully). I’ve also noticed that not only is there finicky with different srevice providers / networks but apparently some prepaid and postpaid cards from same company behave differently with different modems (data only or if they get calling too).

VoLTE has nothing to do with the host’s operating system.

At least the tool to check/enable volte is broken on trixie. So there is easy way to check/confirm if volte is enabled in the modem in trixie.

For bm818 it seems to be AT+BMRAT command (via a suitable method). Volte would return something about LTE if it’s capable and connected to do so, If memory serves.

Returns, during a call,
+BMRAT: FDD LTE
if VoLTE is working.

This is just a coincidence thrown in for humor.
In a wargame group I’m in, Princess “Trixie” is the head of state for a fictional country called Saxe Burlap, maybe I should introduce her to Prince VoLTE of the Empire of Ikea? Then ZoLTE can “start to work” on Trixie with his charming attitude.
