Sway UI configured for PinePhone (Proof Of Concept)

pinephone-sway-poc's Issues

Blank screen with blinking cursor after install steps

What I did:

1. Install postmarketos with pmbootstrap.
2. Boot the pinephone with the postmarketos sd card
3. SSH into the pinephone and run all the install commands
4. Reboot

Everything completed without errors as far as I could tell and I can still ssh into the phone. On the Pinephone screen however I only get a blank screen with blinking cursor in the top left after rebooting. I've started from scratch twice with the same result.

Create a manjaro distribution

Hey!

I just received my PinePhone and the first thing I wanted to do was trying to set up an environment based on a lightweight wm, like sway. I discovered your work and it looks very promising!

My PinePhone is the manjaro edition, and I would like to stay with it as I like this distribution. Installing your poc shouldn't be an issue but I was wondering, don't you think you could create a full-featured manjaro distribution? The same way multiple editions are available for desktops, we could imagine a sway edition of manjaro for phones.

I'll be happy to help if you think it is a good idea, I am mostly a software engineer with experience in python and C++ (and an intensive i3 user on all my computers), I'm not sure I can help for UI and that kind of stuff but I can definitely help with configuration and scripting!

Broke my Sway Install/Setup

I was able to boot into sway and had a few things installed but hadn't really done any configuration. I then went to install this and now it won't let me log in to Sway. This seems to be abandoned so I am mostly leaving this issue as a warning to others.

Be aware that LCD backlight and LCD panel controller and LCD panel interface are all separate parts of the display pipeline. If you turn off the backlight via sysfs, you're just turning off the light, but rest of the pipeline is still in full gear.

To get maximum power savings you need to shut down the entire pipeline using DPMS via KMS API.

elogind-inhibit permissions problem

Sway fails to start since elogind-inhibit that should start it fails with Access denied. Seems like some permissions need to be fixed.

rot8 configuration not working

The rot8 configuration in the sway config file does not work, likely because x-file and y-file are not valid arguments apparently.

This is because the git clone command doesn't clone the forked version with the added args. This should be specified in the readme.

squeekboard not visible

Very excited for a sway-phone, these scripts are super useful!

For me squeekboard was invisible when using exec squeekboard in the sway config but it works when adding the file /usr/share/dbus-1/services/sm.puri.OSK0.service
[D-BUS Service]
Name=sm.puri.OSK0
Exec=/usr/bin/squeekboard

Issues with lisgd patch

cd lisgd && git apply ../patches/lisgd.patch
