How to edit ofono.override?
-
I am working on an application that uses dbus to access ofonod and I'd like to configure ofonod to output debugging information to gain insight.
I though I'd be able to edit the file /etc/init/ofono.override and add the "-d" option to the exec directive.
I tried remounting the / filesystem as read/write but I realised that the ofono.override file is itself a bind mount and is still read only. Then I had a go at editing the file in recovery mode by setting up suitable loop devices and mounts but that didn't end well - the phone no longer boots into ubuntu and I need to start with a fresh installation!
Is there a way to edit ofono.override without fouling things up?
BTW I'm running Ubuntu Touch on a Nexus 5.

@maber01 if it helps here is some notes :

@lduboeuf I'll give it a go and report back later today. Thanks.

@lduboeuf Your instructions for Xenial worked perfectly.
It was necessary to:
sudo touch /userdata/.writable_image
sudo touch /userdata/.writable_device_image
and reboot.I can see that creating those two files means that the /dev/loop0 device is mounted read/write at boot time which means it is already writable when the ofono.override file is bind mounted.
BTW, can you point me at the documentation about those two files?

I'm afraid there is not. This comes from Telegram discussions
