Hello I made it to this step in the instructions

sudo echo ", +" | sfdisk -n -N 2 /dev/sdb2
sfdisk: cannot open /dev/sdb2: Permission denied

And when I try the next command I get

sudo echo ", +" | sfdisk -N 2 /dev/sdb2
sfdisk: cannot open /dev/sdb2: Permission denied


Suggestions?

Thanks

I can't get sound playback in UBports. I can get sound in Manjaro and Mobian once I change setting from Analog to speaker. Any idea as how to do the same in UBPorts?

Where did that command come from? The elevated permissions from sudo only apply as far as the pipe '|' so sfdisk runs as the normal user, hence the permission denied. If you remove the first sudo, and insert one between the pipe and sfdisk, you'll probably get what was intended. As always when using sudo, make sure you know exactly what it's doing before running it!

UPDATE: It looks like you were trying to follow https://xnux.eu/log/#toc-resizing-the-pa...-the-image but using sudo, and changing the block device. I think you should be using /dev/sdb not /dev/sdb2 - the whole device not the second partition on that device.

New version is now available. https://xnux.eu/p-boot-demo/

Thanks a lot!

I followed the steps to resize the partition and noticed that the last two steps only work in reverse order, i.e.

Code:

df -h

only works before unmounting the partition.

Hey guys, I am trying to resize the partition to the max of the SDcard filesystem from the Pinephone, but for some reasons I can't find the command btrfs, I've tried with apt but it doesn't find the package. Which is really weird, because it should be a base command of Linux. I am probably missing something, any idea?

Did you try searching for the correct package name?

Code:

apt-cache search btrfs

I think the one you want is btrfs-progs

Shame on me, I searched for btrfs-filesystem (I saw that in the 8 man page of the debian btrfs page, and I assumed that was it). Now I have managed to fix the issue, thanks!

I tried porting the UCM profile in UBports to the latest kernel (without testing), but maybe it's somehow still not working. You can either debug the UCM profile, or wait until ubports moves from Linux 5.6 to Linux 5.10.
