I painfully succeeded in upgrading from Mobian Bookworm (I need full disk encryption and the latest installer is still under Bookworm) to Mobian Trixie today on my latest Pinephone, but I just have the terminal, no desktop environment. What should I do now?
P.S: The Mobian Trixie image using Phosh of September 14th 2025 doesn't work at all (it doesn't boot, there's an error message very early in the console), the one of September 7th has broken Wifi support, the one of August 31st seems to work (Wifi works, Phosh too).
let's offer basics first. hope that usb dongle works and you have one. connect usb keyboard. you switch virtual consoles with ctrl-alt-f1 to ctrl-alt-f6. in virtual console, usually alt-f* is enough. log in with "mobian" and password, which is the number you gave.
then you start using "apt-get" and/or "aptitude", usually "sudo" is needed. but i give specific information later.
with "nmtui" you could connect to internet, or just you ethernet.
