Gemini PDA - Linux / Kali dependency issues

« on: January 10, 2019, 03:07:10 am »

Thanks for the tips. I think the update was interrupted for some reason and now Im getting this error.

kali@kali:~$ sudo apt upgrade
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
kali@kali:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0061' near line 0:
 field name '-----BEGIN' cannot start with hyphen

I have tried a few solutions from forums but none are working. Any help appreciated!

Gemini PDA - Linux / Kali dependency issues

« on: January 05, 2019, 09:49:54 am »

Hi ZimbiX,

Hey guys, I'm having some trouble with Kali. Running `sudo apt install kali-linux-full` or `sudo apt upgrade` now results in it being unbootable. iirc I'd had success with both these commands before, but started having trouble a few days ago.

Sorry for that and thanks for letting us know. The latest builds were slighty out of sync for a day or two but it's fixed again.
I'm going to set up a watch job to prevent that from happening again.

The former, I think is because it removes `libhardware2 libhybris libhybris-common1 libmedia1 pulseaudio-module-droid repowerd xserver-xorg-video-hwcomposer` due to an incompatible dependency on a slightly older version of `libc6`. I know hybris is required for graphics, given it's using that as a compatibility later to use the Android driver, so that makes sense.
The latter might be due to an upgrade of `lxc` (that's used for hybris, right?), but I don't know.
I think the fix would be for the packages Re4son supplies to be updated to support the new versions of their dependencies in the Kali repos, or provide compatible versions of them.
After letting the hybris removal go through once, I tried to reinstall the original package versions, but they were not available. Do the Kali repos drop older package versions?
Cheers! =)
apt plans for the commands: https://gist.github.com/ZimbiX/2ea188095de1...88f43913df937b4

That's exactly what happened. A rebuild of libhybris fixed it.


Many thanks,
Re4son

Hi @Re4son im having the same issue with unmet dependencies with VIM.

Here is the error message I am getting

vim : Depends: vim-runtime (= 2:8.1.0549-1) but 2:8.1.0320-1 is to be installed
 vim-tiny : Depends: vim-common (= 2:8.1.0320-1) but 2:8.1.0549-1 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

 What do I need to do to fix this? All the cmds I have tried do not fix it and I cannot remove Vim-Tiny now that I have attempted to upgrade. If I reboot, it will not boot so a fix would be great. Thanks

Gemini PDA - Linux / NTFY installation

« on: November 07, 2018, 03:39:09 pm »

Can anyone with some linux experience share how NTFY can be installed on the Gemini? It comes up with some errors.

What errors?

In any case, I use notify-send which is found in the libnotify-bin Debian package. I would recommend it, especially as it is a standard part of Debian and because it does essentially the same job.

Thank for your tip libnotify did the job

Gemini PDA - Linux / Dual booting Debian and Lineage

« on: September 12, 2018, 11:17:06 am »

Hi I have the Wifi x27 Gemini and I have had Lineage on it (14.1). I would love to dual boot Lineage with Debian, but as I'm a novice I cannot see an straightforward way of doing this. As I flashed Lineage using TWRP rather than the flash tool, I'm not sure what the impact of that is? If I wanted to put the stock gemini android back on what would the process be?

The scatter file looks for many files that are not included in the Lineage zip file.

Any help is greatly appreciated.   Thanks!
