Hello lemmy and Nura :D.

First time being around these parts of the web. I am a MX Linux daily driver and would like to dualboot with Nura on PC. I already exported my pmbootstrap'd split images and installed them to the last 2 partitions of my SSD with Gnome Disks (idk if it counts as flashing, pls view the attached image).

Updating grub with # update-grub seemed to work, it printed pmOS being found at sda7, but trying to boot off that gets stuck. I tried talking to a LLM to solve the issue, and my conclusion is that neither does it know well enough about pmOS/Nura - I rather not waste my time in it's hallucination, and also the way I try to setup Nura is probably not documented anywhere (or maybe I suck at reading wiki). For short, It has made me aware that os-prober does not know what to do with Nura, and that manually writing Nura to grub configs is the way.

Need a hand with that, please... thanks.

I have managed to get PMOS booting and even displaying the lockscreen and responding to power and volomue buttons and usb networking with ssh over it but the touch screen simply does not work, the wiki page on the device says that the touchscreen works

I have built an image with Phosh and systemd for it and flashed it, Phosh's lock screen loads, reacts to power button (turning on and off he display and holding for the power menu), reacts to volume down and up buttons (audio slider indicator appears), screen display auto dimms when inactive and eventually turns off, the only thing unexpected is the touchscreen not working at all

if there is any extra info needed feel free to ask

how do I trouble shoot this issue?

Not sure if you know about this, but just saw these:

I recently bought a Xiaomi Pad 6 (8-core CPU, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB storage) to use as an ultra-lightweight “laptop” – at just 490 g. Here are my observations on what works, what doesn’t, and a few tips for anyone looking to replicate this experiment.

This was a very successful experiment and I’m happy with the results (...) GNOME on-screen keyboard sucks (...) I would also try to get a Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro 12.4″ with 12GB of RAM because of the larger screen and to get a bit more room to emulate old stuff.

I m using postmarketos on Oneplus 6 and I installed waydroid. I open it and in wifi settings I try to connect to wifi but I can t because it say no network available. I can t install apps on waydroid. Anyone solved this problem before? Thanks

Hi, i m a new user of postmarketos and i love it. There is a bug in my phone oneplus 6 that can t power off the phone. Anyone has to solve this bug like me and what did you do for solve this? Thanks!

Hey so I'm VERY new to the open source/linux thing, and although there are resources online they are still kinda hard to understand to a google kid such as me, or hard to find for someone not experienced.

It appears I can run postmarket on my galaxy A5 that was lying around in a drawer for 10 years. Thing belonged to my deceased grandmother, still work fine, has no scratch, I just never used it because I already had a device. Wanted to use it as a basis for a cyberdeck using only electronix stuff lying around.

Followed the wiki : I can enter flash mode, downloaded the twrp app but then I struggle to understand what to do. When I select flash to "select device" it just says "failed to fetch data from server". I also downloaded a twrp-3.7.0-9-0-a5xelte.img.tar but can't figure what to do with it.

Any idea gang ?

I followed https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Fairphone_5_(fairphone-fp5)#Manual_install "SD memory card", with https://images.postmarketos.org/bpo/v26.06/fairphone-fp5/plasma-mobile/20260619-0151/ : "Waiting for root partition" then it lands on a CLI.

In general, except the Pinephone & Pro, booting a microSD card worked?

Can some functionalities for os be passed to second kernel?

For example there could be docker or some other VM with Halium kernel to use some apps for example WiFi, camera and SIM calling?

Example can be qubesos which uses separate VM to do networking and other functions.
