Issues with Mobian 20210314 (data and updates)

[IMSAI8080]

Hi there - I would try get the mods to move this to the PinePhone/Mobian forum!

..
Unfortunately, data download never started working (although, I have the 4G symbol activated and four bars). Of course, set the APN.
...

Under Settings, Mobile do you have Mobile Data enabled?

...
WI-FI works as well but, oddly, using it, my phone is unable to download updates ("The following packages have unmet dependencies").
...

In general I don't get that with Mobian - it means apt has got its knickers in a twist which is a generic Debian issue you can ask Prof Duckduckgo about. But on the basis it is uncommon in Mobian I would recommend doing your download/flash again in case something is corrupt there.

Ops... wrong forum, sorry for the oversight.

Anyway, thanks dukla2000 for your answer and... yes, data enabled.

Asked Prof. Duckduckgo, before posting the tread: the steps suggested to fix the problem require an OS update, after the terminal work.
That's why I wrote about the updating issue in the same thread.

Think that the easier way for me is to reflash the SD and hope for the best.

Ciao


PS: moving the chat above to the right forum: how, coping and paste?

Have you read this mobian blogpost?
https://blog.mobian-project.org/posts/20...pam_issue/

There they write:

You will get some mysterious “Cannot update due to unmet dependencies” error in the software app if you try. So for the initial update, we recommend performing a manual update in the terminal (a great way to familiarize yourself with the terminal and Debian’s package manager called apt).
For this drop into the terminal King’s Cross (also called kgx, it has a subway logo). On the terminal issue:

Code:

sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade

sudo apt autoremove

That's great, actually, I'll take a note, for the future!

Anyway, after downloading/flashing my SD again, as suggested, everything is working fine.
The OS immage was corrupted, indeed.

Problem solved

Thanks again for your help!
