pmbootstrap issues

[IVp]

Greeting,

I wanted to install PmOS with sxmo as described here
https://git.sr.ht/~mil/sxmo-docs/tree/ma...LLGUIDE.md
in order to eventually, make some modifications to the installation I want. Sadly, I failed in step 0 of this plan.

The phone does not show up under lsusb, even if I try the telnet debug solution from
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Inspe..._initramfs
I assume I did something wrong in the pmbootstrap, but I would not know what. I have had not problems with the telnet by jumpdrive.

I did not give up here, and I tried to install sxmo-ui before flashing, by using pmbootstrap chroot -r and following the instruction there. This works within chroot, if you follow the instructions from the sxmo website, but pmbootstrap install fails afterwards with
Could not find dependency 'sxmo-dmenu' in any aports folder or APKINDEX.
despite the fact that cache folder now contains the sxmo*.apk files.

I would be grateful if anyone can provide some insight as to what might be causing these problems.


cheers
IV
