I have a spare PinePhone since when, back in February, I received my L5! I installed guix binary over pureos and it's working great. I offload build to an x64 server (with qemu-binfmt-service-type). Many programs fail to build, but for others guix works well (just a bit slow). I don't know the way forward (how to get a guix image to boot on it). However, my pinephone is unused. If we hold the guix days live this year, guix on the phone should be something we'd want to try, as it seems we have a few devices to work on. > > On Sat, 2021-10-02 at 09:04 -0400, Christine Lemmer-Webber wrote: >> jbra...@dismail.de writes: >> >> > October 1, 2021 6:56 PM, "Christine Lemmer-Webber" >> > wrote: >> > >> > > I think the easiest step to first testing would be to install >> > > Guix >> > > (userspace package manager) from Debian on Mobian.

I ordered my Librem 5 about one year ago and I'm still waiting for it. Since backorder shipping resumes October 2021, I expect to get mine in Q4 2021.

Re: I just got my pinephone.
I think the easiest step to first testing would be to install Guix (userspace package manager) from Debian on Mobian. I've been meaning to do that, haven't tried yet... from there we can look at what's necessary to go full distro Kaelyn writes: > Hi Guix! > > I just received my pinephone this morning, so I'm going to be > interested in bringing Guix to the pinephone as well.

Re: I just got my pinephone.
Hi Guix! I just received my pinephone this morning, so I'm going to be interested in bringing Guix to the pinephone as well. I hope to have the capacity to help with the efforts, even if it's just the occasional testing.

Re: I just got my pinephone.
Yo all! Just put the latest nightly Mobian again on my pinephone--I am going to attempt to put Guix on it over the next couple days. I will keep everyone posted on how the process goes (: ~vidak On 2021-09-02 15:59, Christine Lemmer-Webber wrote: > Joshua Branson writes: > >> Hey Guix! >> >> I just got my phinephone. > > Horray!

It can't be too hard... can it?! It looks like I'm being "forced" to switch over to my pinephone as my primary phone anyway. So maybe now's a good time to see if we can Guix it up. Guix on top of Mobian makes sense as a starting point to just make sure packiages work though I suppose. I do have Mobian running on mine so maybe that's a great place to start. What I'd really like: to use the Guix System Image API so I can do a "just works" flash-to-sd-card. > I'd be happy to help out! Also jmp.chat (2) works really well with > chatty.

Hey Guix! I just got my phinephone. It's currently running postmarketOS (1). I usually work nights two nights a week 10pm-6am (EST) Sunday night and Monday night. If a guix developer would like ssh access to it during those times, then please let me know. If I should use Mobian instead to help port guix to it, then I would be willing to switch.
