Gemini PDA - Android / New Android update available

« on: May 18, 2018, 04:17:33 pm »

Top tip.  Don't try to apply the Android OTA update to a dual boot Gemini.  It restarts as expected but fails with an error and a picture of a poor, sickly droid lying on its back.

Which I suppose means I'll have to reflash the thing if I want to get the android update which will mean spending another evening getting the phone back to working how I want it to work.

Which is a right old faff TBH.

I have a dual boot system with TWRP. I did the OTA without thinking. Now all it will do is re-boot into TWRP and I can't re-flash. The re-flash tool won't pick up the gemini on reboot before it goes into TWRP. Any suggestions?

Disregard....I managed to get it to flash. Has anyone located the OTA file download link so we can manually update (those with a dual boot system)?

Thanks

John

Gemini PDA - Linux / Xterm settings

« on: May 17, 2018, 07:19:57 am »

Hello group

I’m busy setting up Debian for my work and so far it’s actually working well. The small form factor is perfect for what I do. The only issue I’m having is the font size for XTerm. I’ve tried creating a custom Xresources file but either my syntax is wrong or I’m going about this wrong. Anyone figured this out?

Thanks

John

You can change the shortcut to:

xterm -fa font -fs size

the font is pattern matched with -fa, and the size is in points. So if you want a terminal (fixed) font of size 25 points, use:

xterm -fa 'terminal' -fs 25

You can of course edit your Xresources, just remember to merge afterwards (or restart X). Merge with:

xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources (or where ever you put your resource file).

The resource syntax is something like:
xterm*font:    *-pattern-*-*-*-size-*

eg:
xterm*font: *-terminal-*-*-*-25-*

From memory.
Hope this helps.

Thanks.....I totally forgot to merge and for some reason, it wasn't persistent. Working now.
