[release notes] Koli 4.0.1

Announcements
#75

Anyone else have issues with the browser since the update? I have installed a pretty hefty /etc/hosts on my phone to block unwanted cruft when browsing, since I cannot manage to install Privacy Badger, and since the update the browser is ignoring these entries.

This seems to be related to the new firejail setup (which is a really great idea, btw!). I’ve looked into it a bit and it looks like it should work. Browser process runs like this (according to ps)

/usr/bin/firejail --quiet --profile=/etc/sailjail/permissions/Base.permission --profile=/etc/sailjail/permissions/Mozilla.permission --profile=/etc/sailjail/permissions/Audio.permission --profile=/etc/sailjail/permissions/Location.permission --profile=/etc/sailjail/permissions/Internet.permission --profile=/etc/sailjail/permissions/Downloads.permission --profile=/etc/sailjail/permissions/Documents.permission --profile=/etc/sailjail/permissions/Pictures.permission --profile=/etc/sailjail/permissions/Videos.permission --profile=/etc/sailjail/permissions/Music.permission --profile=/etc/sailjail/permissions/Sharing.permission --profile=/etc/sailjail/permissions/sailfish-browser.profile --whitelist=/usr/share/sailfish-browser --whitelist=/usr/share/applications/sailfish-browser.desktop --whitelist=/home/nemo/.local/share/sailfish-browser --mkdir=${HOME}/.cache/org.sailfishos/browser --whitelist=${HOME}/.cache/org.sailfishos/browser --mkdir=${HOME}/.local/share/org.sailfishos/browser --whitelist=${HOME}/.local/share/org.sailfishos/browser --mkdir=${HOME}/.config/org.sailfishos/browser --whitelist=${HOME}/.config/org.sailfishos/browser --dbus-user=filter --dbus-user.own=org.sailfishos.browser --private-bin=sailfish-browser -- /usr/bin/sailfish-browser

The Internet.permission profile contains this entry:

private-etc ssl,hosts,pki,crypto-policies

Which, AFAICT, should copy the hosts file into the private jail. However, all the blocked entries (that are hardcoded to go to 0.0.0.0 in /etc/hosts) will now open in the browser. If I open the browser from the terminal without jailing it, this doesn’t happen.

Sailfish Core Apps do not work after Update to Sailfish 4.0.1.45 (sandboxing problem?)
Editing hosts & hosts.editable has no effect
[release notes] Kvarken 4.1.0
#76

Update went smoothly on my XA2 plus Dual Sim.
I don’t like at all the new notification UX: either on main screen and in the event view. I found managing notifications in event views more friendly before. Besides icons are ugly and again a step toward android.

Thank you for this update. It works well so far. I only had one problem: the update failed the first time I attempted to perform it, but worked flawlessly the second time. I particularly enjoy the firejail sandboxing integration. Notification actions are a very useful feature as well.

Xperia 10 updated and everything went smoothly. But Android support does not work anymore. If I open Settings => Android -Support => cannot Start/stop press buttons because they are disable. (phone is rebooted couple of times)

When trying to start Android app it will try to load it for a while and then it fails.
When I look journalctl it shows following entries:
helmi 05 11:49:27 Sailfish kernel: binder: 4617:4617 transaction failed 29189/-22, size 0-0 line 3024
helmi 05 11:49:28 Sailfish kernel: binder: 4617:4617 transaction failed 29189/-22, size 0-0 line 3024

Tried to uninstall/reinstall Android support but id did not change anything.

Edit: journalctl -xe output:

    – The result is RESULT.

Is that fix available as patch for users to try?

#80

It’s only just been merged in, but if it all goes through the checks okay I’ll see what I can do (I’ll post any further info here).

#81

updated smoothly on x II. uninstalled flatpak support before.
okboard has an issue again, like in previous version.

android works for me, deezer starts

nice update !!
like it. browser is really smooth and quick. very happy so far
the remorse time was rewoked ! thanks !

#82

Update went fine here on an XA2. Finally we got a working multiple address books support, that’s really great \o/.

Had to uninstall sailfish connect before the update, as requested. Does anyone know why or what is blocking sailfish connect from working with SF4 ?

#83

Did you try to install it back afterwards? I mean you could get information on what features are not working or is the app working at all. I had the same case with ChargeMonitor app which I tried to install back and noticed it didn’t show any battery related values anymore, basically just a blank UI. Maybe it could be related to Sailfish Connect too?

#84

there’s a missing dependency when you try to install it after so I guess that must be the reason - libcontextkit-statefs-qt5.so

#85

I succesfully updated my XA2 Ultra just now, but WhatsApp doesn’t start, not even after removing and reinstalling. AlienDalvik is up to date, reboot doesn’t help either. Anyone else with this quirk?

Edit: I started a separate thread for this issue: [4.0.1.45] WhatsApp doesn’t start since it doesn’t seem to be a common issue at all.

The whole android support does not start. reinstall from jolla store did not help. Settings -> android support shows the start button active and stop as disabled. Pressing start does nothing. WA tries to start but closes soon after.
This is on xperia X

I have the same issue.

#88

I didn’t see this reported yet, but I’m having some issues with my Bluetooth headset after this update.

Specifically, after updating to the early-release of Koli, audio doesn’t seem to be forwarded to the headset anymore. It’s worked fine before the update, and I tried restarting the headset and removing & repairing it. It seems to pair just fine, just that audio isn’t played back over it (tried with music player, gallery, web browser). Audio works fine from the internal speakers. I was thinking this might be due to the added firejail sandboxing around the apps, if something went awry with the permissions, but find it a bit odd since audio playback works fine over the built-in speaker with the headset disconnected.

This is SFOS on the Xperia XA2 & connected to Bose QC35 II headsets. Curious if anyone else is having similar problems after the update?

Where is there documentation on the changed UI elements? Would like to fix buttons in gPodder but am grappling in the dark at the moment…

@FireFly This might not be related to this particular update but to updating in general. I had it on the update from 3.3 to 3.4. [3.4.0.24] No sound with connected bluetooh headphones Bose QC 35 II

What a nice update after the buggy 3-series.
Now fingerprint works on my XA2 plus “ro.odm.version=8.1.0_4.4_nile_v16” that didn’t have working fingerprint in the past and i also had the battery drain

It is stuck in “waiting for connection” for me. Are servers full?

Will there be an emulator for Koli before the “main” release? I’d like to check if/how my apps are affected by the UI changes but I need my phone, so I can’t update just yet.

#94

the download was complete, it’s probably rather conflicts that left the device in a broken state.
