I am attempting to complete a full system backup of my Librem 5. Can I utilize Déjà Dup to back up my entire system? Deja Dup is preinstalled on the system as 'Backups'. I want to include app data—everything if possible.

I would like to backup my Librem 5 using jumpdrive. How can I create a full system backup of my Librem 5 using jumpdrive?

I have an old Xiaomi mi 9 Lite (pyxis) with a custom android rom installed. The CPU is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 (all specs ) I've already discovered Ubuntu Touch , but it comes with a desktop environment and my Phone is not suported. I also looked at Ubuntu Server for ARM but can't find a way to use that. Arch Linux ARM isn't supported by the processor. Maybe interesting for more research would be Renegade Project which was able to get Windows 11 running on a Smartphone with UEFI. Do you have any idea how to use my old phone as a homeserver? I'm happy to learn anything that goes in the right direction, even if it's just a small step towards a solution. I have a lot of time for the project, but I'm a beginner, so if I have to create a own ROM I'd like you to help me with good learning sources.

I think I would perhaps have my problem solved if this answer was still current. ...It's got to be a udev problem - or solution anyway! In short, I need to run rsync to synchronize - a GUI interface isn't going to do it and I couldn't figure out where the phone was mounted! Note that the GUI gives me a URL, not a file-system-path. However, I CAN do this, just with extra effort, including requiring root access, if I use jmtpfs and give it a location... AND to do that I also have to first unmount the phone which I, so far, only know how to do via the GUI - horribly inconvenient...

I plugged an Android (HarmonyOS 2.0.0) phone into a Linux laptop using USB connection.

Some people at our company are using a so called Cisco Jabber in Windows OS to improve handling of phone calls directly at the PC instead of using the telephone anymore. ---------- After installation, one has to register the client to the server just with a username@company.com and the corresponding password. Subsequently it is possible to search for names and numbers within the client (probably LDAP-request) and handle incoming and outgoing calls without using the hardware telephone keyboard anymore. **Is there some alternative available that works on Linux systems?**

Oukitel WP23Pro specs: https://www.gsmarena.com/oukitel_wp23pro-12650.php This has to be the hardest platform I come across for unlocking bootloader and rooting. 1. There is no downloadable firmware, so I don't know how to extract the boot.img and vbmeta-sign.img from the phone, so I can't unlock the bootloader and install TWRP etc. 2. Looking at the WP23Pro's little brother WP23, which has a downloadable pac images you can flash, extracting boot and vbmeta-sign.img from. You will find Manufacturer used its own OEM key. So I assume it's the same in WP23Pro version two. 3. I have tried every known: fastboot oem unlock, fastboot flashing unlock commands for unlocking the bootloader, inkluderad oem get_identifier_token and using the key in : ./signidentifier_unlockbootloader.sh XXXXXX rsa4096_vbmeta.pem signature.bin, and trying to flash the key: fastboot flashing unlock signature.bin / fastboot flashing unlock_bootloader signature.bin / fastboot flashing --force unlock signature.bin Nothing I do seems to work. So how can I root existing firmware or flash a prerooted GSI?.

I connect a phone to my Linux laptop using USB. I click File Transfer option in the pop-up window on the phone. In order to mount the phone on my Linux, I have to find the block device on my Linux.

I have multiple phones I am trying to obtain the up time for phones. I have enabled REST API for all phones and am looking to run CURL scripts to get the value of uptime. I have a script to get the value off of a Polycom phone. The below command works but I have over 3000 devices I would like to do this with. When I run a script of 100 commands I get the output but it is all jumbled together. I have a txt and excel file with all of the IP Adresses of the phones, the username and passwords are the same for all 3000 devices. I am looking for a way to run all commands and then get a text file with the IPADDRESS and return result of the request( IPADRESS:"Status": "2000"" or something similar). I mostly want an easy way to see the results of each curl line per IP address. ***Command*** curl -d "{\"data\": [\"UpTimeSinceLastReboot\"]}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@IPADDRESS/api/v1/mgmt/config/get ***Output*** {“Status”: “2000”, “data”: {"UpTimeSinceLastReboot": ""} I was able to add >> /tmp/filename.txt to output a txt file with all of the responses but there was no way to accurately coorilate that to the phone's IP address..

I've read a lot, and heard both sides, but still slightly in the cloud when it comes to android. Android is a open source OS, but when I buy a phone, it comes preloaded with google services and apps that are clearly not open-source, and are integrated at such a level a cannot remove them. Only "disable" them. If android is truly open source, can I compile my own image and flash it to my phone so that I am running a 100% open-source code OS on a mobile platform? (I'm thinking in the mindset of Debian, where all code is open source and available to the end user)

I have an USB device that the kernel does not automatically recognise as an USB serial device but when I manually say to the usbserial driver that it should bind to it (modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0421 product=0x069a), it provides to USB serial interfaces where useful things can be done over it. What is the right place (email-address, bug tracker, ...) to report it to the correct Linux subsystem maintainers to include that device for automatic binding?

How to install Glodroid 0.6.1 onto a microSD card? A microSD card allows Glodroid to be tried out *without* permanently writing to the PinePhone, ie, its EMMC. A slot-in-to-try-and-slot-out-when-done solution. But Glodroid 0.6.1, the latest version as of writing, does not work. Someone reported succeeding by installing to the PinePhone's EMMC though (https://github.com/GloDroid/glodroid_manifest/issues/39) .

So I installed linuxdeploy on my phone to mess around with a debian linux. Installed debian 9 for arm64 and so far so good. Only when I run any "sudo" command, I'm getting the following warning: sudo: unable to resolve host localhost: no such file or directory (I still get the root access though) I've been looking on the web but did not find anyone with his exact error message. I checked the following files: /etc/hosts, it contains 1 line: 127.0.0.1 localhost /etc/hostname, it contains 1 line: localhost Edit: as per asked in the comments below, I tried to run the command: grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf resulting in: no such file or directory A quick look at /etc folder indeed shows that this file is missing

There's (finally) starting to be a move towards "phones as portable desktops." I'm surprised it's taken this long. The basic idea is that phones are powerful enough to run full software and operating systems, so why not just give them a toggleable "desktop mode" where you can dock the phone with a full size keyboard, mouse and monitor and use it as you would a normal desktop. But this being the case, i would like to have full control over the phone in the same way that i have full control over an arch desktop. So i was wondering, is there a linux DE which is touch oriented/designed for phones? Would it perhaps be possible to use the android or lineage OS DE on top of an arch system? It would be nice to have a phone running arch with a mobile DE, and when docking it as a desktop i can boot up GNOME or KDE. At this stage im fairly sure noone has actually done this, so my question is more "what moves have been made so far towards this vision?"

I've got an old Android phone with broken display and I'd like to get the data (in particular photos) out of it. I connected it to my computer but it did not mount automatically and mount says that "no medium found". With dmesg and lsusb I see that it is connected. Could anyone help me to mount it and get access the data?

How to install Linux on mobile phone natively, not through Bochs, QEMU or Deploy Linux/Complete Linux Install? Are there any nuances here and which ones? EDIT: I mean Desktop version for ARM(maybe Ubuntu MATE). Can it be installed to phone/tablet?

I have a high end USB headset that I am trying to use with my cell phone for making phone calls while in my office. Obviously, I cannot plug a USB headset into an Android or iPhone so I am attempting a new project. I would like to plug the headset into the Raspberry Pi and using Bluez + PulseAudio (or some other software), make the raspberry pi appear to be a standard bluetooth headset so that when the phone is paired with the raspberry pi, all phone audio is routed to my USB headset. I have searched around the internet for a few days and tried a couple tutorials but I could not get it to work. Does anyone know of any examples or step-by-step guides that would accomplish this goal? Here is an example of one tutorial I tried. Granted, I am using the onboard bluetooth vs a dongle but I am using a 3B+ which has a different chipset: https://scribles.net/enabling-hands-free-profile-on-raspberry-pi-raspbian-stretch-by-using-pulseaudio/

I have an old, non-Android flip phone (Samsung SPH-M400) from about 2012, and I would like to get the photos off of it. The phone is fully functional, but its service is deactivated. I have tried everything I can think of to get those photos off. The hard drive is not removable, so I can't take it out. The phone does have Bluetooth, but I don't think you can use it to share photos (I don't think the firmware allows it). I even took the phone to the Sprint store, and they tried several methods to get the photos off (e.g. connecting the phone to their software, and reactivating the phone to Sprint's network). All of these methods failed, mostly due to the fact that the phone is old and is not really supported anymore. However, I am thinking there must be a way to do this in Linux. If I connect the phone through USB to my Linux computer, it is recognized. However, it does not seem to be mountable in the way I'm familiar with (the lsblk and fdisk -l commands don't list anything related to my phone), so I can't access the hard drive. However, the lsusb command gives me the following entry for the phone: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 04e8:6640 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd Usb Modem Enumerator Also, I see the following directories/files created after connecting the phone: /dev/serial /dev/ttyACM0 Is there a way I can access the photo files on my phone?
