@postmarketOS Great to read that #duranium uses #phosh's OSUpdater now. It's driving updates in our #BengalOS too. Let us know what's missing, contributions appreciated.
See you at @FrOSCon

RE: https://freeradical.zone/@craftyguy/117045091081107281
Software bugs happen. Luckily, immutable systems like #Duranium automatically roll back to the last working image if a new update fails.
Also, major kudos to @craftyguy for so quickly pinpointing this elusive issue and sending a patch upstream!

The latest #duranium image for the OnePlus 6T doesn't boot, and **only** on this device. With some help from @senderolinux and @hugoposnic (since I don't have a OP6T), I discovered that libblkid can mistakenly identify a minix filesystem if erofs has an inode count that matches minix's magic bytes.
That was a wild ride. I think I need to go lay down now 😅

On the bright side, pmOS duranium users affected by this can just boot the other good slot until there's a fix 🥳

So if #duranium is immutable postmarketOS, what is #duranduranium

If you've ever wanted to give #postmarketOS device development a try, we're looking for help saving quite a few device ports from being archived: https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/work_items?sort=updated_desc&state=opened&label_name%5B%5D=maintainership-status
I have mad respect for folks who maintain and test device ports in pmOS, they're soo important to the continued development of #postmarketOS. For example, I rely on my Pixel 3a to help develop and test #duranium and other (hopefully) neat OS things, but I can't do those things if the device is not maintained and gets archived.

We now pre-install postmarketOS Duranium (immutable version) on mobile devices in our shop!
Duranium's rollback feature make it stable, reliable, and an exciting part of the future of mobile Linux~
Congratulations to the entire postmarket team and #mobilelinux community on amazing efforts bringing linux to a whole new platform, and especially @craftyguy as the lead developer of the Duranium version of

RE: https://fedi.lwn.net/@lwn/116778299228237826
Since forever #postmarketOS has had to rely on various hacky solutions in our custom shell-based initramfs to access the nested GPT which actually contains the root/boot partitions. It's necessary to do this since modifying the partition table on Android phones can very quickly lead to bricks.
However, thanks to this awesome patch by @craftyguy (and @bluca ) in the new Systemd v261 release we no longer need to deal with any of this!
The immutable #Duranium version of postmarketOS runs systemd in the initramfs and it now automatically sets up loop devices for nested partition tables with ZERO additional configuration! (well technically it has been shipping this patch for a little while already :D)
I think I'd cry if I knew how many hours we have collectively spent dealing with weird dumb bugs in the initramfs, so having all of this just be handled by systemd is so SO nice. The value of the event-driven declarative service model really can't be understated imho, especially when it comes to quirky things like loop devices.

The postmarketOS #duranium images for this week now include a waydroid sysext!
If running android apps is your thing, you can enable it with:
updatectl enable waydroid && updatectl update

We were discussing hiding & disabling preinstalled apps on immutable images at PCM26 and recently with the @postmarketOS #duranium folks.
We now have some bits that allow to hide those (and other) applications. There's plenty of more work needed for different app types (e.g. we can do better for webapps) so help here is appreciated.

With our changes to Phosh's first-boot in 0.55 and the recent changes in mobile settings we can now finally go full circle on immutable images:
- Set up the initial user via systemd-homed
- Perform OS upgrades from the mobile settings app using systemd-sysupdate
This landed in Phosh's nightly images already but will hopefully also become useful for other immutable phone distros like @postmarketOS #Duranium .
As the systemd
org.freedesktop.sysupdate1interface is bound to change to #varlink in 262 this is currently rather minimal and will be tweaked in future releases but it makes things already usable without having to resort to the command line. -

Finally got myself a Fairphone5 for testing @postmarketOS. Any advice on how to proceed? First intalling the "normal" version or directly aim for #Duranium? And if it's the latter, how is it done? Any hints apreciated.

Lilbits: Updates on Pebble, Rebble, and Aluminium (Android + ChromeOS for PCs)
Google’s upcoming PC operating system that merges elements of Android and ChromeOS has a new name… or at least a code name. And there are updates on both sides of the dispute between Core Devices (the company brining Pebble watches back from the dead) and Rebble (the developers who made sure that old Pebble watches were only mostly dead).
Last week the Rebble team made accusations that […]
