[Release notes] Vanha Rauma 4.4.0.64

Announcements
#42

I have now updated one of my X10’s from 4.3.0.15 to 4.4 and can report:

In general, it worked fine and phone ist still OK. edit: this means, it is not crashed and useable, but there are some bugs.

At beginning, it requested to remove
Storeman,
harbour-owncloud-daemon and
gstreamer1.0-libav

Storeman, I removed in ‘normal’ way, by long tap on app grid and then tapping the x,
harbour-owncloud-daemon i could deinstall with pkcon remove harbour… without problems.
gstreamer1.0-libav reported ‘This request will bring your system to crash’, so I skipped it.

After the update, phone booted and some problems occured.

  1. File browser shows only the half of the files and directories, despite the missing files and directories are really present via CLI or ssh access from laptop.

  2. All apps requested all permissions for all and everything, so I started all of them one by one to store all permissions before proceeding.
    For what asks e.g. MeeCalc, Quanto Fa or Fotokopierer for access to Audio, Bluetooth, Internet, Camera, media index, microphone, net content, NFC, location, removable media???

  3. Vodman no more working, requests missing Python,

  4. On installing Storeman from downloaded .rpm file, it reports: xdg-open not found. Installation failed. So I have no Storeman at the moment.

The rest including my several tweaks seems to work fine.
Still working fine: Change of tethering adress block still present,
EU soundlimit disabler - still OK
Ambience white-on-black - still OK
Hide tutorial - still OK

But I see no way to install Storeman at the moment. Does anybody know more about this?

edit: Lls video player plays videos but updating the Youtube downloader leads to an eternally spinning wheel.

Keeping older devices in the train is much appreciated, thank you!

@seven.of.nine Have you tried storeman-installer?

Storeman-installer tries to fetch package from chum repo. As there’s nor repo available for 4.4, yet it fails.
Manually downloading Storeman from the 4.3 repo works but installation fails due to missing dependency

nice to finally get an update…after a long time, sadly it’s not the Qt upgrade I have been waiting for…hopefully with v4.5

well anyways… I have 3 Xperia phones that I need to update and test

Yes i tried just now, it starts and tries to load something, but then crashes. On chum i set to 4.3.0.15., because 4.4.0.58 shows no content.

Q: isn’t it possible to postinstall this libsolv0 manually for this dependency?

#48

Apps which haven’t defined a set of permissions are given a default set of permissions, this is why some Apps will ask for lots of permissions they don’t need.

To install Storeman on SailfishOS 4.4.0, please use this guideance.

As the install method via file-manager seems to be broken in SailfishOS 4.4.0.58 ("xdg-open not found"; also reported here and with some analysis here), one currently has to install downloaded rpm files via:
devel-su pkcon install-local <whole-rpm-filename>

edit: i downloaded harbour-storeman-0.2.12-1.armv7hl.rpm and tried to install it by pulley menu.

It still reports 'xdg-open not found ’ and does not install.

#52

Strange. On my XA2 zypper wp xdg-open it says nothing provides it… Yet the binary is there.

Well, my upgrade experience is not promising. Xperia X.

Battery flat in just a few hours. (Pic 0)

The culprit would appear to be alien_resource_mgr. (pic 1)

So I rebooted and android.process.media (pic 2)

was chomping away at 30+% according to Crest, but seems to be declining slowly. I guess this is some sort of Android preparation task, but it’s fairly heavy on the device.

Either way … not usable at this point

  • If I start the lockscreen camera, and then swipe away to do something else. The camera process just hangs there chewing 18-19% according to Crest

  • /usr/bin/lipstick -plugin evdevtounch:/dev/touch… is looping at 43% constantly

It seems the SIMS don’t work and neither does the WAN. I fear another re-install is upon me :frowning:

Edit: A complete re-flash to 4.3 and upgrade to 4.4.0.58 using sfos-upgrade (the built in function did not work at all) seems to have resolved the network issues. I have disabled Android

#54

Attempted updating. Got a message that updating is not possible, reboot. After reboot. No connectiviti whatsoever, no WIFI no Mobile date, nothing. I cannot even run the backup restor! What do I do? Help!

#55

Same here. Should I reset the device?

#56

I would suggest to download a 4.3.0.15 image as a reserve to have an option for reflashing the phone with a working system until these problems are solved, for the case of a full crash.

#57

That will be a solution, but there is now connectivity. Where and how?

#58

Kudos to @nephros for providing a quick answer with the right quote from Storeman Installer’s description at OpenRepos.

Note that I vastly expanded the paragraph nephros quoted to be more comprehensive in order to become the second bullet point in the section “Important notes” of Storeman Installer’s README at GitHub.

Whisperfish, patchmanager and Storeman removed before update .Post update .rpm downloaded from OpenRepos won’t install giving ‘xdg-open not found’ error. UPDATE Ignore-just seen @olf post on how to install Storeman. Thanks

#61

I built ncurses-compat-libs myself, with manually removing the dependency to the base package. I tried it on my XA2 Ultra and X10II and they both now can at least start fish and browse around a bit with it. You can find the packages in the ticket.

Install them at your own risk! Remember to remove them, too!
