[Release notes] Tampella 5.0.0.55

Updating my XA2 went fine. Great Job. :100: %

The new browser version is needed for the bad programmed web sites of this days.

Thanks.

The update seems to be having some problems launching Android apps - quite often tapping the icon switches to one of the running or recently closed apps instead of launching the app that the icon refers to. Usually works on second/third try.

Not at least yet. Our guys have been fully occupied with the C2 and MInd2.

Yes x2.

It did not go as planned. Our guys have been fully occupied with the C2 and MInd2.

Ethernet: it is for the Mind2.
Do you have a C2? Mobile data not working for Android apps? We tested it hard and found it working.
Try this: tap Flight mode on, then off. Wait for a few seconds. Try mobile data on an Android app. Does it work now?

Seems mobile data works, but if android started on wlan and you move to mobile data it needs a reboot (of appsupport in settings) to work

Yes, have a C2. Flight mode, restart or about auxiliary programs does not work

Just for clarity, since the notes state this:

  • 2025-01-30: OS version 5.0.0.55 “Tampella” was released for Early Access subscribers of all supported Sailfish OS devices as an over-the-air update.

Should the following read thus:

New devices

  • Jolla C2 is supported.
  • Xperia 10 III, Xperia 10 II, Xperia 10, Xperia XA2 are supported.
  • The state of initial support for Xperia 10 IV (XQ-CC54) and Xperia 10 V (XQ-DC54) continues. Only the free trial Sailfish versions are available as an over-the-air update (as this is an Early Access release). Android AppSupport and the Sailfish licence are not yet available.

I didn’t get what happened on my C2. I updated using the gui. But after the gui asked for a restart the update screen showed it could not update and to try later.
Now the update gui shows the update, but when i start the download it shows “connecting” and nothing happens further.
Now i opened terminal and checked:

[root@JollaC2 defaultuser]# ssu re
Device release is currently: 5.0.0.55
[root@JollaC2 defaultuser]# version --dup
REFRESHING CACHE AND DOWNLOADING PACKAGES
Waiting

and nothing continues.

Tried then to clean the cache and do the same. Did not help.

How to proceed according to “best practice”?

EDIT: Now i wanted to clean up the repos with ssu rr. For some reason it gives a DBus error on removing.

WARNING: DBus call failed, falling back to libssu: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'zypp::parser::ParseException'

Now i can not see these repositories (most of them storeman) in the ssu lr, but if i do ssu ur there seem to be remainings as it shows:

WARNING: DBus call failed, falling back to libssu: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'zypp::parser::ParseException'
what():  /etc/zypp/repos.d/ssu_openrepos-xxx_release.repo: Section [openrepos-Karry]: Line 7 contains garbage (no '=' or ':/?|,\' in key)

can i just remove the *.repo files from the /etc/zypp/repos.d/ folder?

EDIT2: I moved the files (i think only one was “broken”) and after reboot the update now proceeds. :slight_smile:

Damn it. Doesn’t flight mode help?

These are not new devices, that’s why not mentioned. But they are supported old devices.

excellent, thank you.

i have an old 10ii that is finally going to get SFOS’ed. :slight_smile:

Tried flicking flight mode and mobile data on and off and even switching between sim 1 and 2, only restarting appsupport finally did the trick, but since then it’s been very stable

Three phones (C2, X10V and X10III) updated with no hassle. :slightly_smiling_face:
Now, let’s see how they work. :crossed_fingers:

First attempt @ OTA on Xperia 10 V did nothing. Entered password, device rebooted quickly after, then I was back in 4.6 with a notification to download 5.0. I will try again then….


Looks like I get the install progress bar @ attempt 2. I’m hoping the 5 GB root is big enough.


It installed correctly it seemed. Newer browser is the most obvious & welcome upgrade.

I have not realised that I have to remove the unofficial wireguard plugin, I have removed it afterwards, is it possible to install the official wireguard packages manually?

No issues here with my Xperia 10 III.

I fired up my ‘play’ XA2 plus and upgraded to 5.0, unwilling to risk my 10 iii personal phone until after a few day’s positive feedback on upgrades to 10 iii’s.

It all went fine and everything appears to work as before - but I’m a little curious. It seems that the only functionality differences are that (1) Jolla apps now work in landscape mode, (2) there is a blocked calls list in the phone app settings, and (3) there is a browser engine update from 78 to 91 (or something like that).

This sounds like more of a point update release to me (i.e. 4.6 to 4.7), not a major system upgrade release (4 to 5) … what am I missing here?

because i did not read this and also i have free trial on my test Xperia10Plus so i dont have available updates from the UI, so i always updating from terminal via ssh

ssu release 5.0.0.55
version --dup
reboot

all works fine, so what could go wrong or is there some missed lunch of scripts or something else by updating from terminal?

Help needed: TLDR - How to sync/install to the latest state (5.0.0.55).

If tried to update a Xperia 10 (i4113) from 4.6.0.13 to 5.0.0.55 via GUI.
Started the reboot, update with progress, then a screen saying “something went wrong, with a restart button”. I restarted the phone and it booted into the OS. It seems that only a part of the rpm package were installed.

Normally the directory under /home/.pk-zypp-dist-upgrade-cache does not have any packages after the update anymore. Currently I see that some (274) are still there:

[root@Sailfish .pk-zypp-dist-upgrade-cache]# find . |grep rpm$|wc -l
274

I have totally 985 packages on the system but only 337 package are installed today (updated).
For instance, a newer package of sailfish-office is in the cache directory and not installed:

# rpm -q sailfish-office
sailfish-office-1.6.8-1.8.3.jolla.armv7hl
# find /home/.pk-zypp-dist-upgrade-cache/ |grep sailfish-office
/home/.pk-zypp-dist-upgrade-cache/packages/apps/apps/armv7hl/sailfish-office-1.6.10-1.10.1.jolla.armv7hl.rpm

The GUI says I am on 5.0.0.55 and

$ grep VER /etc/os-release 
VERSION="5.0.0.55 (Tampella)"
VERSION_ID=5.0.0.55

but I am sure that is only the half of the story. Albeit, I could boot into the OS in this current state!
So, how do I sync/install to the latest state (5.0.0.55)? Thanks!

#################################################################

Update: I did following:

# ssu release 5.0.0.55
Changing release from 4.6.0.13 to 5.0.0.55
Your device is now in release mode!
[root@Sailfish ~]# version --dup
REFRESHING CACHE AND DOWNLOADING PACKAGES

UPGRADING SYSTEM
Finished transaction (status=1, runtime=144483ms)
FINISHING

Download (7 packages)
 ...

Install (281 packages)
  ...

as you can see it installed the rest of the rpms from /home/.pk-zypp-dist-upgrade-cache but
I can not boot into the system anymore. The LUKS/Password unlock UI does not appear after the reboot
anymore. Trying to ssh into it shows:

"System is booting up. Unprivileged users are not permitted to log in yet. Please come back later. For technical details, see pam_nologin(8)."

Any help?

For now it needs to be installed manually, it is a feature that is available for those who are interested and based on feedback we will improve it for 5.1 when it is installed with the OS upgrade. Install the wireguard packages with:

pkcon install jolla-settings-networking-plugin-vpn-wireguard

and then restart phone (or just connman: systemctl restart connman).

version --dup
