Gemini PDA - Sailfish OS / Sailfish X
« on: April 13, 2019, 05:59:21 pm »
I have bought Sailfish X (3.0.2.8) for Gemini, but there is no Android app support?

Only difference is M$ Exchange support (I hate that )

When we will get Android support? It looks like it is available on Sony XA2

Does it come with new Android version?

Hmm.. I am thinking how to backup existing Sailfish... and how to restore it if I flash whole Kali image...

or... just try to flash Linux over Debian... changing 2nd boot option (if it is possible)...


Yes, I see new Android version... Now Android and Kali boots, Sailfish does not boot...

I have first made a backup of sailfish_boot and userdata.img
Then tried flashing only linux_root and linux_boot over existing triple boot Gemini... Didn't work.
Then flashed Kali but replaced root_boot with sailfish_boot and replaced userdata from backup...

Sailfish cannot boot... Maybe it shared data with old debian partition? Any ideas?

You have mentioned installing DNS on RPi, be sure to try pi.hole ! It will remove all ads for you

First, interesting news:

Kali is now officially supported on Gemini:
https://docs.kali.org/kali-on-arm/kali-linux-gem-pda

Any ideas/advices how to leave Android and Sailfish partitions working and just replace Debian?

I'm confused...

The key is labelled as Fn-Esc = "Off" and that works as expected for me.

If it were mapped as just Esc for Off, that would (for me at least) be a waste of a key (and a useful one on a linux based machine.)

With Sailfish 2.2.18, standy was ok, now with 3.0.0.8 it looks that it doesn't go to sleep, so battery is drained quickly..
I cannot manually turn off the screen (with Top left off button like before)

Any ideas / experience from 3.0.0.8?

It came up on my phone last night. You can force a check with the pulley menu on the Settings > update page. I don't know how often it checks or if Jolla pushes a check. I suspect the latter, because I have seen it go seven days without a check, and last night when I looked 3.0.0.8 was there when it hadn't been yesterday morning. I think 3.0.0.5 was purely the early access, a/k/a beta, release.

I'm not in the early release program -- my days of being up all night to fix something have mostly passed. (Having said that, I am waiting for the battery to run down because the install is stuck before beginning because I forgot to uninstall an app that must be uninstalled before the upgrade, after which it will boot into 2.2.18, I can uninstall the app, and the process can begin anew.)

I have updated (gemini triple boot) manually to 3.0.5 from 2.2.18.
Any ideas why icons are dense? Icons need more margin so that text under icon do not overlap..

Info, update from 3.0.5 to 3.0.8 fixed icons spacing in drawer... but still "Off" (sleep) button doesn't work

Here is the doc I was referring to: http://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/D....2FLinux_Gemini

Ok, I have X27 with triple boot... OTA is not safe, so I must download firmware manually? But I cannot find it?

Did anyone managed to updated triple boot gemini without erasing linux and sailfish partitions?

Gemini PDA - Hardware / Gemini @ fiber optics

Hi, just to share info, I have tried to connect Gemini to my fiber 1Gbit/1Gbit via USB-C hub... and it works nice (81.6/300 Mbps) ))

Photo attached...

Bad news, usbc hub is not recognised in Sailfish  Any ideas?

Gemini PDA - Sailfish OS / Sleep breaks WiFi?

Make from 2.1.4.14 an update to 2.2.1.18, this should fix the wifi reauth bug.

Howto? Look at together.jolla.com geminiPDA Wiki under "update to 2.2.1.18". You have to edit some files.

Thnx! I have updated to 2.2.1.18, so far so good (I have X27 cpu)

Trying to install attached version on my Gemini but got error installing.. any clues where to look for log/reason for error?

Just checking, you gunzipped the attached file (because you can't attach rpm files here) first? You can use an app, or the terminal. That will give you an rpm file which you can install with file manager or the command line. Eg.

1) Download Dosbox_0.3_1.armv7hl.rpm.gz from this thread.
2) Run fingerTerm or whichever terminal program you use:
3) gunzip the downloaded file with:

     gunzip Dosbox_0.3_1.armv7hl.rpm.gz

4) This creates the file Dosbox_0.3_1.armv7hl.rpm
5) Either run file manager, find the rpm, and use the pulley menu to install it, or run:

    pkcon install-local Dosbox_0.3_1.armv7hl.rpm

This should install dosbox.

The problem was in WebCat that downloded only 40k instead of 800kb of .gz file. Now I have unzipped it but after trying : pkcon install-local Dos...rpm see error:

Failed to obtain authentication (yes I have enabled third party packages)

SOLVED: the solution was to just run pkcon as root (devel-su).
then I had to leave root and run as regular user, it works!

next step is to find some dos files (luckily I have them on my RS97 console  DosNavigator and win3.11)

Out of curiosity, did you happen to notice the size of the Windows install? And another question, added later: Did touch work with it at all. the way Word 5.5 for DOS does?
Windows takes about 35M (around 20M if zipped). The mouse behaves exactly the same as word - the screen becomes a touchpad, with the double and tripple click actions. You can change the graphics resolution in the normal windows 3 way (run setup from the command line). I put it up to 800x600, any smaller and you can't read anything  

On another note, after a lot of searching, I found out how to make the overlays work correctly in dosbox. By this I mean that the volume bar is at the top, and the swipes to close/switch app are the same as any other app. I've attached version 0.3, and as usual I have gzipped it so it can be attached. Just gunzip it to install. I also rename my .dosbox directory to .dosbox.old, uninstall the old dosbox, reinstall the new, then delete .dosbox and rename .dosbox.old back to .dosbox . Probably don't need to do this, but it means nothing is overwritten. You don't have to worry about the dos directory.
