pmbootstrap to sdcard

[albertz]

Hi, last night i tried to install pmOS (plasma mobile extra) from pmbootstrap, but i recieved an error message:

(024312) [21:53:28] (native) % mkdir -p /mnt/install/boot
(024312) [21:53:29] (native) % mount /dev/installp1 /mnt/install/boot
mount: /mnt/install/boot: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/installp1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
(024312) [21:53:34] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I tried the demo image and it's ok but how can i make the pmbootstrap work?

if you want to install on SD card, you shoudn't run

Code:

pmbootstrap install --sdcard /dev/mmcblk0

but pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/sd*, where * can be a,b,c... for instance :

Code:

pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/sdb

because mmcblk() is the emmc module, when sd() (for instance sdb, sdc..) is a SD card. Make sure you identifiy well your SD card. You may run :

Code:

ls /dev/

before inserting you SD card, and after, to see what is the name of the device. In my case, it is sdb, but for you, it can be something else.

[wibble]

I think some clarification of device naming may be needed. Whether an DS card appears as /dev/sdX or /dev/mmcblkX depends on whether it's attached through a USB adapter or a native interface. For a native interface like in the PinePhone, boards such as the Raspberry Pi, or some laptops, the SD card appears as /dev/mmcblkX. A USB adapter translates between native interface commands and USB storage device commands, so the computer sees a usb storage device /dev/sdX. If you look at dmesg immediately after plugging in the card you should see which device was added.

but I've used lsblk to identify the media, I think is not a problem of the localization of the media but from some internal of pmbootstrap or some misconfiguration during the init, but i I don't know. If i want to restart the installation i have to use pmbootstrap zap?

I've tried again but there is something with the partition, here the log:

this error don't understand (this from a log from 2nd time try):

Code:

Error: /dev/install: unrecognised disk label

now i tried to mklabel gpt directly with parted but gives me error

Code:

(parted) mklabel gpt                                                      
Error: Input/output error during write on /dev/mmcblk0

can it be the the sd itself?

[albertz]

Ok it was the sd,  i've bought a new sd and the pmbootstrap was successful. It was strange, because dd a demo image with the old sd was ok...

You typed pin64 instead of pine64 into the device selection when running "pmbootstrap init". so it created a new device page for that device with some scaffolding in it that isn't complete. to remove it delete "/home/curt/.local/var/pmbootstrap/cache_git/pmaports/device/linux-pin64-pinephone" and "/home/curt/.local/var/pmbootstrap/cache_git/pmaports/device/device-pin64-pinephone"

Then run pmbootstrap init again and type the correct name

[colin hodsdon]

From scratch on Ubu 18.04:

pip3 install pmbootstrap
PATH="$PATH:~/.local/bin"
mkdir ~/.local/var/pmbootstrap
pmbootstrap init
pmbootstrap install --sdcard /dev/sda
pmbootstrap shutdown

~20 min into install it prompts (after I'm in bed):

. . .

[06:18:56] NOTE: chroot is still active (use 'pmbootstrap shutdown' as necessary)
[06:18:56] Done

So I selected kde + extras, set the password above to something simple ... pass1234

Boot it on the phone.  Sluggish, but it boots, play around breifly, plug in to charge.,  Now I have a lock screen, but it's only numbers, and I can't unlock the thing.

This is fun . . . !  Not much on google search for a default.  Might have blown past it somewhere.  Probably should have started an installation thread.

try  Rob Braxmans install video on youtube , its not a "demo" flash, so will let you use all your "space" but you get the very latest phosh which may not have many apps, you can choose plasma, look for the advised inputs in  { parenthesis }  . good viewing for noobs ( like me)

Everything went smoothly before the actual install attempt.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.

You typed pin64 instead of pine64 into the device selection when running "pmbootstrap init". so it created a new device page for that device with some scaffolding in it that isn't complete. to remove it delete "/home/curt/.local/var/pmbootstrap/cache_git/pmaports/device/linux-pin64-pinephone" and "/home/curt/.local/var/pmbootstrap/cache_git/pmaports/device/device-pin64-pinephone"

Then run pmbootstrap init again and type the correct name

Thanks. Will try this out a.s.a.p.  Much appreciated.
