Hi folks! Yesterday, I joined the club and installed PostmarketOS+phosh on my “new” OnePlus6. Besides a usb-c (power only) cable that cost me an hour to troubleshoot, everything went smoothly.
Well, nearly everything. What I cant figure out at this point is how to install and get software. I’m on the latest stable release which might have been a mistake but I’m usually quite cautious at first.
So my problem is pmos came with 16 apps preinstalled and the software app only shows these when I open it. Can someone confirm or deny if this is normal? I asked around in 5 different places for stuff in the last 16 hrs (yes, I did sleep in between) and I know a lot of stuff now but this I could not figure out. :D
I know I can install flatpak, which I did but it never shows any results at all which I find unrealistic. I put in the repo like it is shown in the wiki and I have internet. Something else must be wrong.
I’m an admin by trade and I do some software development as a hobby so feel free to assume I know how to use the command line. I’m only a full time linux user for maybe half a year.
Anybody got ideas what might be wrong?
Makes total sense! Thanks.
Would you suggest I open up an issue then?
Generally yes, but I am just a dumb tech blogger, so what do I know 😀 . I checked the issue tracker, and this issue seems related - I also see that crash, and it might extend beyond upgrades and thus be the source of what you are seeing. If you also see that crash of that service, maybe just upvote the existing issue first or if you can chime in/help out, do that before opening a potential duplicate :-)
That is the exact issue I‘m having. I commented on it with my own log.
