[Release notes] Struven ketju 4.5.0.18

Announcements
#16

@jovirkku, you might want to rectify the broken link in the section “Important notices” with the text “the upgrade of Android AppSupport” to https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/release-notes-struven-ketju-4-5-0-18/14656#android-appsupport-is-upgraded-to-android-11-14 (from the broken https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/release-notes-struven-ketju-4-5-0-18/14656#android-appsupport-is-upgraded-to-android-11-47, note the incorrect final two digits), because it really is important that this link works.

Additionally you may rectify the incorrect plural “Important notices” to singular “Important notice”, because only a single notice follows and people might wonder if there are missing notices.

Thank you!

Thanks olf, that was a good catch. A stupid copy-paste error from my side. Fixed now.

190 mb update to 4.5.0.18 from 16, downloaded quite quickly, update installed just as quickly. I noticed (again) my phone did a little double reboot after installation, meaning I saw the “your bootloader is unlocked” message twice…otherwise though, update was smooth and quick (that’s what she said!).

Storeman disappeared and Packges list in Chum gui disappeared after updating.

#23

For now, you’ll have to set the chum repository to SailfishOS 4.5.0.16, in settings.

Typo? I guess it should be 4.5.0.16.

#25

Of course, thank you!

PLEASE HELP!
The Update [4.5.0.18] tells me to manually de-install duzens or hundreds (!) of packages:
archivemount, audiosystem-… (2x), audit-libs, busybox, busybox-… (14x), cryptsetup-libs, curl, … , [MANY OTHER PACKAGES], … , volume_key-libs, wpa_supplicant, xdg-dbus-proxy. xkeyboard-config, zlib !
Is there no easier way to clean the system than to manually delete all these old packages?

p.s.: see also my problems with the update [4.5.0.16]

Ignore, proceed.
You’re not the first with that ‘problem’.

How to proceed? There is no option to ignore!
But I found this:

Is this the official command-line-guide for forced upgrades?

I don’t remember but there is some button to say OK, or confirm, and it’s the only thing the user can do.

There are two more option:
First to use embedded update option:

  1. open terminal
  2. run devel-su ssu re 4.5.0.18
  3. run devel-su zypper ref
  4. run devel-su zypper dup

Second: use sfos-upgrade from openrepos

No, these are not two more options:

  1. sfos-upgrade ultimately does exactly the same as Jolla’s guidance for updating at the command line, but semi-automated and with a lot of safety-checks prepended: RTFM!
  2. The “zypper dance” you documented correctly is recommended for community ports of SailfishOS (by their maintainers, not by Jolla) and requires to install zypper (via devel-su pkcon install zypper). I would expect it to work, too, but Jolla has never mentioned it for the devices they support. Side note: Another way was via pkcon upgrade-system but Jolla deleted any reference to this upgrade path with the release of SailfishOS 2.2.1.
  3. Jolla always stated: Only upgrade SaifishOS at the command line, if the GUI updater fails. For 4.5.0 more explicitly than before: RTFM.

Unfortunately Jolla / sailors do very rarely mention why they suggest things, so nobody outside of Jolla knows, if they just think that the GUI updater is safer for the average user or if technical reasons for this recommendation etc. exist.

On my XA2 Bluetooth can’t be turned on. Only using sfos utilities helps to start the bt service,
though I had to try several times until
it worked. Anyone experienced issues with
bt as well?

From technical point you are very correct but average user doesn’t recognize such nuance. Remark taken and I should use ‘ways’ instead of ‘options’.
Is not a pkcon upgrade-system the same as zypper and sfos-upgrade? That means direct packages update?
