Thank you very much for your help and for sharing your experience, Wibble.
I started also a thread in the LibreOffice forum about the PinePhone and LibreOffice:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/how-to-ins...hone/78115
I did not test to install LibreOffice on Mobian as you did. I reinstalled the following posh image:
pine64-pinephone-20210810-phosh-keyboard.img
but I experienced the same failure as described above. Then I installed the following postmarkedOS image, it is only two days old:
20220601-0442-postmarketOS-v21.12-phosh-17-pine64-pinephone-installer.img
I don t know how I came across the first image, but I thought it should work with the PinePhone keyboard I already have.
I was asked to set a password during installation. After the reboot I was asked for the passkey, 147147 did not work, there is no option to type in a password.
Reinstallation required. The second time I choose only a passcode, and it worked.
Also the installation of LibreOffice worked, and the phone was rebootable .
After a first short test I can say:
- the Pinephone keyboard works with LibreOffice
- unfortunately, the keyboard has no arrow down keys for the menus, but they can be accessed by shortcuts
- then I tried to install a Bluetooth mouse
- my Polar OH1 heart rate sensor as well as my Stryd running foot pod where discovered immediately, but the Elecom Cap Clip mouse only after 5 more minutes, but then it worked.
- I tried the last time also to install a Bluetooth keybord, which was not stable when I used the first mentioned installation image. This time I didn t. But since I have the PinePhone keyboard it is not necessary.
- The Menus are large for the phone screen, but with the mouse it worked to use those during a first test. I was at least able to save a file .
