debian+phosh running on PinePhone

[Boern]

The first time my phone suspended it wouldn't wake up. The screen lit up, but remained black.

The second time it came back up but mobile data wasn't working.

Both were fixed by a reboot.

I did not flash a new image. I updated the kernel and u-boot per your instructions. If this keeps happening I will flash the new image and see if that changes something.

The first time my phone suspended it wouldn't wake up. The screen lit up, but remained black.

I think I've seen the same problem with s2idle, which is used by default, if the suspend lasts more than 3 minutes. 
The systemd-watchdog is killing the user session because it thinks it has not responded for more than 3min.

My hacky workaround was to disable the watchdog:

Code:

sudo cp /lib/systemd/system/systemd-logind.service /etc/systemd/system

and set RuntimeWatchdogSec=0 in /etc/systemd/system/systemd-logind.service.

Hope this helps! Also, I have not seen this happening with deep sleep.

Any low hanging fruits a noob with too much time on their hands might be able to tackle?

The default scale can be set in '/usr/share/phosh/rootston.ini' in the '[outputSI-1]' section.

Actually, you should create/edit '/etc/phosh/rootston.ini' if you want your config to persist across updates.

Thanks for the feedback, that should really help indeed!

@devrtz might be, it depends on your skills and/or things you wish to learn (Debian packaging, Rust programming, C/GTK tinkering...)
Feel free to send me a PM to discuss this

... If you install the screen resize utioity and set it to 1.75.  ...

... I'm considering setting a scale factor of 1.8 by default (instead of 2 currently),... but I'd be interested in knowing what others think about that.

My vote is for 1.8. 1.75 leaves an artefact line across the bottom of my screen occasionally. 1.8 is fabulous in that the entire entry line in Telegram is visible after you raise the keyboard - was always slightly covered before when the 'old' default was 2.

Is anyone else having problems getting mobile data to work? I suspect some kind of modem regression as in general I have not had problems previously?

Right now I spent nearly 60 minutes trying to connect to mobile data without success. I have 2 SIMs on different networks both of which previously worked in my PinePhone, both of which still work in another handset

All of which is very frustrating as I think I have hotspot working: the last thing I did was try tweak a parameter to check the minimal changes needed before posting a "how-to"!

Just locked my screen in landscape mode and now can't get back in. Supposedly it's fixed https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/issues/73.

Can we get an update with this fix in?

Well, the fixes mentioned in the link are already included since phosh-0.1.7 (we're using 0.2.2)
I suggest you re-open the issue (or create a new one)

How do you turn "deep sleep" on? I'm a noob so sorry about that....

Hmm, I tried it on Pureos and there the lockscreen is always shown in portrait mode.

Phosh is a simple shell for Wayland compositors speaking the layer-surface

 * a lockscreen
 * brightness control and nighlight

 * enough of org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig to make gnome-settings-daemon happy
 * a homebutton that toggles a simple favorites menu
 * status icons for battery, wwan and wifi

If you're not working on a Wayland compositor then this package is likely not
very useful for you.
