Details matter: Spark made the notification that is shown after taking a screenshot actually useful. You can either open the screenshot in an image viewer or open the screenshot folder (video runs at 2x speed). This will be part of Phosh 0.58.

First hardware from our Back from the drawer campaign being put to use for continuous testing of our daily BengalOS image builds on the Google Pixel 3a:

This amends our VM image tests ensuring things boot up properly before publishing the images. We're currently using usb-cereal but hope to switch to @postmarketOS test harness to also be able to recover from crashed boots and get the device into a defined state more easily.

Thanks @decorum @robiwahn @chris for the hardware.

Phosh's caffeine quick setting (☕) can be used to prevent the system from going idle and from suspending.

This can be tweaked now so that one can have the system go idle but not suspend.

Very useful on Qualcomm based 📱 so one can prevent the system from suspending (to receive incoming phone calls and SMS) but still have blank and lock work as expected.

Nice review of @postmarketOS with #Phosh on a Raspberry Pi5

https://social.bau-ha.us/@thomas/116774070080368489

#LinuxMobile #raspberrypi

The just merged load-meter status icon plugin by johnwa is the first "real" (as in non-demo)  plugin to make use of the top-bar plugin infrastructure implemented by @arunmani . It shows the CPU load sampled as a time graph.

We were discussing hiding & disabling preinstalled apps on immutable images at PCM26 and recently with the @postmarketOS #duranium folks.

We now have some bits that allow to hide those (and other) applications. There's plenty of more work needed for different app types (e.g. we can do better for webapps) so help here is appreciated.

#Phosh #LinuxMobile #gtk #BengalOS

With our changes to Phosh's first-boot in 0.55 and the recent changes in mobile settings we can now finally go full circle on immutable images:

• Set up the initial user via systemd-homed
• Perform OS upgrades from the mobile settings app using systemd-sysupdate

This  landed in Phosh's nightly images already but will hopefully also become useful for other immutable phone distros like @postmarketOS #Duranium .

As the systemd org.freedesktop.sysupdate1 interface is bound to change to #varlink in 262 this is currently rather minimal and will be tweaked in future releases but it makes things already usable without having to resort to the command line.

#Phosh users on #postmarketOS #edge 👀 before upgrade :

Such breakage on postmarketOS is thankfully extremely rare 👍.

(Don't get confused by the name gnome-settings-daemon-mobile is totally unrelated to Phosh).

We've release #Livi 0.5.0, our light video player for mobile 📼 . It now shows a proper status page when processing a URL (by @tpikonen ) and can (optionally) avoid display notches in landscape mode when the #Wayland compositor sends the necessary information (e.g. #phoc does). It's already updated in #Debian and on #flathub.
