pmbootstrap issues
#1
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

What is the version of pmos that you have installed? 'edge' or 'stable'?
Because my experience is that 'edge' is needed for sxmo to work.

Yes, I used edge, otherwise I can not even do it within choots (some packages only exist in edge).

Hello all,

I just received my Pinephone (3GB) and tried to flash PMOs on a sd card. Unfortunately I failed several times. Probably one of the experts here can find the reason in the log since I'm somewhat clueless. I tried several sd cards with the same effect (see below).. Thanks in advance
