RE: bookworm vs trixie discussion for mobian in pinephone regular. - anonymous - 09-21-2025
When I succeed in using the installer and upgrading to Mobian Trixie, I end up with a command line access and no desktop environment, it's a waste of time, it's no longer a matter of partition size even though the small boot partition is a problem to achieve all this. That's why I'm forced to use an image and Tow-Boot as you said, light blue, etc. I know that it's possible to encrypt the home partition after the installation, I just don't know exactly how to do that, I'm trying to learn, it would be very helpful for people like me who need full disk encryption.

No,
1- from your computer via USB make an encrypted container when you are in blue light mode
2 - then load your working OS onto that Calamares container.
let us know if this breaks because I have done exactly that for SD cards before.

I know how to create a LUKS2 encrypted partition but I don't know how to create a Calamares container, I will look at the documentation.
P.S: mobian-sunxi-phosh-20251005.img.xz doesn't work, I just get "pinephone-keyboard 3-0015: Failed to read device ID: -6". mobian-sunxi-phosh-20251002.img.xz seems to work (with Wifi support). I've updated my instructions about encryption here, some steps are missing but encrypting the partition seems to work.
P.S 2: After doing almost the same thing than setup-luks.sh in the installer, I get "pinephone-keyboard 3-0015: Failed to read device ID: -6"

mobian has released trixie, release number is 13.
that practically means that using bookworm is not useful anymore, it is now oldstable.
in the future, choice will be in between forky 14 and trixie 13.

Oldstable remains supported with regular updates for a few months, then LTS and then ELTS updates. But of course, running stuff that old on a phone is not all that great because mobile GNU/Linux moves fast.

I've just installed Mobian Trixie on the latest Pinephone I bought, I used the 2 latest weekly images (12 and 19 October 2025), it doesn't ask for my PIN code. I did the same on my previous Pinephone, it asks for my PIN code but the modem seems to die after several minutes
I'm stuck with the Librem 5, I'm forced to make a phone call each time I need to wake up the modem

I still have a problem with my modem.
