Proximity sensor dims screen

[henrythemouse]

Hello Forum,

I had to change my screen and apparently lost the approximity sensor. Simultaneously I fired up Mobian on the internal storage.
When booting into it, the screen dims down after a couple seconds.

I would like to keep Mobian and found out that I have to disable the proximity sensor in the config files. Problem: I don't know how I can gain root access to the mounted phones storage (under Ubuntu).

Alternatively, I could also reinstall mobian having the proximity sensor disabled before. Unfortunately I also don't know how to do that.

If this is not mobian-specific enough, please let me know and I will delete the thread. Anyway, I would be very glad for any hint to solve this problem.
Thank you in advance

The best way to gain root access to the filesystem is to use ssh. This would allow you to use your desktop to access the phone's filesystem. You can also access the filesystem from a terminal app on your phone, using sudo to get root privileges.

If your not familiar with running ssh the Pine Wiki can help:
