I have that on my Mobian install but didn't see an installation method for Arch. Did you build from source? I tried that a few months ago with Mobian and it took forever and was a hassle.

That is nice, unfortunately though my Axolotl install on Mobian is my primary device so I wouldn't be able to sync it without buying a second Pine Phone.

You can install it from the AUR (axolotl-bin). It's just a repackaged version from the Debian package, so it builds very quickly.

Awesome, thank you! That is kinda the last thing I need to switch from Mobian to Arch. I didn't realize how much of a smoother experience Arch was over Mobian right now.

I tried this last night as I've been on a vacation for the last week so I didn't want to tinker with my phone much, and it didn't work sadly. I will have to wait until I get home to register for AUR and comment the issue there. Hopefully it gets fixed soon because that is basically all that stops me from switching over.

What didn't work? I used the PKGBUILD from the AUR, but modified it because it was broken (because of an outdated reference) back then and after that I just kept on updating it myself when a new version was available, so not sure how it differs from the version in the AUR at this point. If you want you can try it with this one, worked for me:

I used Arch for about 9 months but honestly never built anything from AUR so when I tried `makepkg -si` it gave me errors because I assumed it would have the necessary packages installed to do that. So after I installed those packages everything seems to be fixed.(10-05-2021, 10:03 AM)ragreenburg Wrote: I tried this last night as I've been on a vacation for the last week so I didn't want to tinker with my phone much, and it didn't work sadly.
