your device looks not ready yet

[Uturn]

now, sxmo has a alternative window manager, wayland, built in. We can choose it in the settings menu. But my sxmo says: your device looks not ready yet. Am I wrong in supposing wayland support is built in with, say, latest edge download of postmarket sxmo?
For example, this one?
https://images.postmarketos.org/bpo/edge...hone/sxmo/
Actually, I'd say even a older install might receive wayland support on update.

Anybody knows more about that? Do we need to additionally install wayland in sxmo?

I guess you have to copy the files from:

https://git.sr.ht/~mil/sxmo-build/tree

to your pinephone and start the script with the Wayland option (see readme) before you can switch between dwm & sway.

thank you. I will try that soon. I thought tis is 'bult in' given there's a menu for that.

seems not so easy for mee. Created an account in sourcehut, logged in, navigated to https://git.sr.ht/~mil/sxmo-build/tree, went to https://git.sr.ht/~mil/sxmo-build/tree/m...ild_all.sh, tabbed view raw, and saved that as a file.
Now I have that on my desktop, it would not work in Firefox fromt the tablet. Got no useable save dialog.
Shouldn't be there a way to just downlad a script without all that pizzazz?

cheers, Daniel

I also didn't find a way to download the files so I created them empty on my Laptop and copied the content to the corresponding files & copied the files via scp to the Pinephone.

It's a git repo, so a simple:

Code:

git clone https://git.sr.ht/~mil/sxmo-build

should download all the files. No need to register any accounts anywhere nor copy manually.


Current our wayland implementation is a work-in-progress that is not released and packaged yet, so you'll need to use sxmo-build for that.

Proper packages will be available when we release sxmo 1.6.0  (and will be packaged for postmarketos by us)

git clone https://git.sr.ht/~mil/sxmo-build

entered in St gives me an an error.
if I enter
sudo git clone https://git.sr.ht/~mil/sxmo-build
St messages there's no git command.

tried in Firefox
git clone https://git.sr.ht/~mil/sxmo-build
duckduckgo tries to find that ;(

so.. where to enter the above code, please (sorry probably a very silly question)
