Anyone have any news regarding further updates for Debian on Gemini?
Debian TP2 (TP = Technical Preview) has been out for some time now. Just curious.....  Mark

Tried to use a USB Flash Drive via the Gemini hub, but does not auto-mount or be recognized.
Any suggestions to get drives to be automatically mounted? Thanks. Mark

Been very frustrated today with multiple attempts to get 'apt-get upgrade' or 'apt-get remove' to work.
Problem seems to be an issue with the Libreoffice install. Here's some of the messages I see in terminal: CODE (Reading database ... 105256 files and directories currently installed.)

Hi fellow Geministas,
Now that I've had Gemini for more than a month and multiple re-flashes and updates behind me, I thought I'd share some general thoughts about our little pocket computer, and see if you agree or have different perspective. The last two re-flashes have been with the recent multi-boot setup. Currently, have it setup as follows: 1. Android Rooted 2. Recovery 3. Debian 4. Sailfish So, in that order, here's some thoughts about each: 1. Android Rooted Works well overall. However, need to learn how to use Android without needing Google and signing in to apps, etc. If there's a good place online to learn about doing this, please let me know. Disappointed in Planet's new Agenda app. Looks very nice visually, but "where's the beef?" as the old Burger King commercial said. 3. Debian Works well overall. However, still has a few rough edges... No ethernet support. I'm fine with using it with my little mini-mouse when I'm at a desk. However, would be nice if I could use it easily without a mouse when out and about, on the train, etc. Like others have said, it would be great if Gemini had a pointing device built-in. I think an optical pointer like on the Viliv N5 and UMID mBook (think it had one...) would be great. Other option is a little trackpoint like on my GPD Pocket.. Also, some mouse buttons would be helpful too, either on keyboard or if no room, on side of display or even back of display as on my old Libretto way back when. 4. Sailfish Looks pretty...... Not sure there's much more to say about it. Definitely, feels very unfinished, at least to me. Well, there you have it, my impressions of the various Gemini OS'es, as currently available. Overall, think Gemini is a very nice pocketable mobile computer (I don't use it as a phone...). Think it has a lot of promise to be much better and refined as time goes by and more updates released. Think that Planet is clearly under-resourced and they are playing catch-up to meet all the various demands about the device. Planet's website and Support page are very un-developed. Various things you'd expect normally are not found, like contact info, general Gemini support info besides flashing, etc. Please don't take this post as I'm bashing Planet or the Gemini. To be very clear, I really enjoy using the Gemini now and look forward to seeing it get even better as time goes by. If you have any comments or other thoughts on this, please feel free to share them. OK, back to using Gemini.... Mark

Recently, I re-flashed Gemini with the new multi-boot firmware.
I set up the booting with the new online tool as follows: 1. Debian 2. Recovery 3. Sailfish 4. Android Rooted It was working properly until now. Before if I rebooted and did not press any key or silver button, it booted up into Debian. However, now when I reboot and do not press anything, it just keeps re-booting endlessly. If I press silver button, it boots to Sailfish. If I press both Esc key and silver button, it will boot to Android. So, something got messed up regarding booting to Debian. Any way to fix this or do I need to re-flash again? If re-flash, can I just do the Debian partition or ? Thank you for any help. Mark |
