Cosmo Communicator - Linux / phosh on Gemian

« on: February 17, 2021, 05:54:44 am »

Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone has installed phosh (phone shell) on their Cosmo Communicator?

It's used by the mobian project (https://mobian-project.org/) and is developed by Purism for the Librem5.

The apps for phone and SMS seem a lot more developed that those on Gemian and maybe we could re-use some of this good work on the pinephone/librem5 on the Cosmo?

I'm not exactly sure where to start with porting mobian to the Cosmo, but if anyone has an idea or has installed any of those GTK packages, I'd be most interested to hear about it.
Cheers, iain

Cosmo Communicator - Linux / Re: HMDI output on Gemian

I've got the screen plugged in and no change to xrandr output:

cosmo@cosmopda:~$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 2160 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767
hwcomposer connected primary 2160x1080+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   2160x1080     59.97*

Does this mean the driver isn't loaded?
I'm super super keen to get this working - it's really the main feature of this device I need.  Anyone got any suggestions?

I can confirm it works when I boot into Android ( I've no interest in using that OS, it's not fully featured enough for my needs), but a driver clearly exists for Android and hopefully can be ported?

Cosmo Communicator - Linux / HMDI output on Gemian

Hi All,

Just received my new Cosmo and installed Gemian yesterday. I first updated Codi to V1.1.1.15 within Android (HDMI output works in Android). But I really don't want to use android at all, I bought this to run Debian and use with an external display.

I purchased the official Planet Computers USB3 to HDMI converter, but the output to my second screen does not work on the official v3 Gemian distro.

Any idea what the issue could be?
Thanks in advance,
Iain
