[Release notes] Tampella 5.0.0.29 for Jolla C2

EDIT: Unrelated! Solved with nephros workaround!

Story details

After several hours of stable run of 5.0.0.29 (native browser, calls, SMS, Viber) phone suddenly went berserk.
First I noticed that SMS can’t be send. Mobile network was not visible so I went to the settings. I noticed that SIM was not recognised.
After C2 restart I tried to reenable SIM same as was always needed before. It seemed to accepted PIN but indicators for SIM enablement started to pulsate. Restarts don’t help.
WiFi does work so ssh is possible and it shows that several crucial services are failed:

  UNIT                   LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION                  
● lxc@multi-user.service loaded failed failed LXC Container: multi-user    
● ofono.service          loaded failed failed Telephony service            
● pulseaudio.service     loaded failed failed PulseAudio (system-wide mode)

LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

3 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
[defaultuser@JollaC2 ~]$ 

I did some ‘brave things’ but I didn’t anticipated this. It might not even be related.
I tried to install and failed Chum, Meecast event view. Soon after start I installed Situations which seemed to work in initial setup. After I added some addition extensions it crashed. Later starts of app didn’t reach functional state. So I uninstalled it.

C2 is unfortunately unusable now as a daily driver.

Any insight?
