Installing Mobian --> "Resizing file system" forever
#1
To install Mobian on an SD card I, all I theoretically have to do is to download mobian-pinephone-phosh-20210314.img.gz, write it to the card, put the card into the phone and start it, right?

However, when I do that, the "resizing file system during initial boot" screen is there for quite a long time (30 minutes maybe) and afterwards the screen turns black (not pitch black though, the display remains switched on) and that's it.

I have used two different 64 GB cards  (a new Sandisk Extreme and and old Sandisk Ultra). I tried
Code:
sudo zcat mobian-pinephone-phosh-20210314.img.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M
and I tried BalenaEtcher.
What am I doing wrong? Huh
