The Volla 22 (Gigaset GS5) Thread

Hardware Adaptation
#427

Ok further test and information:
I’m more and more confused :grimacing:
What have I done:

  1. reflashed

  2. made a screenshot of system settings partion information

  3. installed Space inspector and Filemanager

  4. Copied via ssh a Video to /home/defaultuser/Videos and downloaded a large file from internet (ubuntu server) to /home/defaultuser/Downloads

  5. checked partiton information in system settings (while copying). Obervation here: space on home partition is descreasing, just like one would expect. BUT space on root is decreasing as well and in same dimension :astonished:. Result is this:

  6. Space inspector shows this, when I analyse /

If I delete the files i copied to home, space on home is increasing again. On root it stays like before.

…and now? I’m absolutely clueless.

#428

I have deleted /etc/sailfish-device-encryption-community/config.ini and started with a new home partition. I start with more space on home. Onle 2.9 GB are used. But the symptoms stay the same.

Shall I try to flash Volla Os again in between? And shall I update this to the newest version? I haven’t done this the last time. I flashed Volla OS once and imediately afterwards I flashed SF.
I used the image from here: Jobs · sailfishos-porters-ci / Halium Mimameid Ci · GitLab (The two month old testing image).

Ok, I’ll try. Thanx.

#431

Yipiieeeh :partying_face: This indeed fixed the problem!
Thanx a lot. One question. When I search for Wlan all access points show up three times. Is this normal? Just a minor issue.

@piggz As soon as my rephone is set up completey. A crate of beer will be donated :blush:

#432

Yes, the duplicate entries for wlan are a known issue. It’s minor but odd.

I think its because the phone has a bunch of different wlan interfaces for different frequencies … and connman doesnt quite expect that

One further minor thing: Whenever I work with Terminal, the hole gui gets after a while unresponsive and laggy.
Closing it, all is fine again. I use original fingerterm at the moment. Not busybox. Anyone else recognized that?

#435

I wanted to try Arch Linux on Gigaset GS5 but it seems too much work and lack of knowledge.
But, looking for an alternative. Postmarket is broken and also android-based os won’t help me.
I haven’t try UT because I heard it’s somehow closed for volla and also I want to be respectful to hardwork of Volla community but if UT is possible to be installed on GS5 i’m willing to donate for volla or UT

#436

with ub port installer you can run… Ubuntu Touch…Droidian…or Volla os on the GS5

Followed the instructions,
It got stuck at the point of setting slots(Installer) and on phone showed fastboot mode.
No change in a long time.
reboot and android is up again

#439

Is presage possible? Has somebody it running?
I haven’t found a way to install. On Storeman there is no installable package.
When I try to install from Chum i need to install maliit-presage-plugin. But this is complaining, that presage-data is not available. Even so presage-data is already installed.

#440

Again tried and got stuck at the same point.
Installer:
Setting slots
Activating slot a
Phone:
Fastboot mode…

#441

Your bootloader is unlocked?
Have you followed the instructions of Volla?:

#442

I’ll try again and update the forum

#443

Thanks for your reply. That was my fault. I have forgotten to deinstall a wrongly (outdated) installed package . After unsinstalling it, installation went flawless.

I checked, there is nothing new on this pdf,
Bootloader and OEM and usb debugging all are on and unlocked.
this one is acting weird.

#446

Bootloader unlock is not just a simple switch. What you have described is just precondition.

In fastboot mode you have typed

fastboot flashing unlock

and if so, what was the output?

#447

Is here anybody using Sailfish connect? I’m using it quite often and with the rephone I have massive problems, because it acts quite random. Sometimes it connects sometimes not. Most times it doesn’t see other devices (and isn’t seen as well). That is the first really annoying thing so far (besides the notch, which is simply a horrible thing - but I’ ll get hopefully used to :wink:)
