@lduboeuf Thanks
Actually I used the native option and not the arm64 because I wanted to test my changes locally on the PC before making a deb package for the phone.
So I guess the flow would bemake changes locally ,
build amd64 package
install and run it in chroot environment (if its possible )
once happy with the changes build a deb package for the phone -
I tried to do dpkg -i lomiri-system-settings_1.0.2_amd64.deb
and it complained about missing dependency packages which were under depends: section in the control file like
Depends:
accountsservice,
accountsservice-ubuntu-schemas (>= 0.0.7),
bluez (>= 5.23),
click | ubuntu-snappy-cli,I thought these required packages are automatically installed in chroot during build process No ?
the goal is to test my changes locally first

humm, you don't start with the easiest thing
If you start trying to install that package on your host, you will end up installing the whole UT :).
Not and easy way.For lomiri system settings, there are not plenty of way.
Either build and install on your device or maybe use the PDK https://github.com/ubports/ubports-pdk ( i never tried that personnaly ) -
@lduboeuf Thanks
Actually I tried to install it in chroot environment not directly on my host and it complained about missing dependencies.
Is this not the right way to do ? as the title of this link
https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/systemdev/testing-locally.html
says "making changes and testing them locally " -
@nibzy26 maybe there is a way to auto install dependencies via dpkg, idk.
btw how will you test UI in your build environment ? -
@lduboeuf Thanks
well I dont have any answers at the moment just questions
I though this lomiri system settings will be a stand alone app with just the UI and no hardware/device connection .
Actually I just want to change the background ,foreground colors and some icons only so just cosmetics changes and dont intend to change functionality -

I though this lomiri system settings will be a stand alone app with just the UI and no hardware/device connection .It loads all settings plugins and have some shared QML components in

colors and icon are defined in Theme, which is system wide. system settings use default ones. You can still hardcore colors of course for your own playground.

I personally use Crossbuilder, but i test it directly on the device, not able to test anything on local host for UI things for that kind of app.

Thanks. lets see what I can accomplish under the circumstances.
I am running the pdk VM now and as first step I am just trying to transfer files from my host pc and the pdk VM.
so trying to get ssh and scp commands to work. what is the ip address of the VM ??. I can see two interfaces likeens5: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

@nibzy26 if I recall correctly the pdk shows up as a device of you do
adb deviceson your host with the pdk running. -
@arubislander Thanks
Yes I can see it .
So I guess I can use adb shell and setup ssh using ssh keys as per the documentation
https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/advanceduse/ssh.html -
okay I managed to build the lomiri-systems-settings-1.0.2.deb package and installed it.
Now for some reason I cant open any of the apps like calculator, phone, system-settings when i click on them inside the VM ?
wonder whats wrong
I have restarted the VM but still cant run any appNote: It was not building the systems-settings package and was complaining about these packages
libqt5quick5-gles
libqt5gui5-glesso I removed these packages and it built fine.
Question#2: Can we run this pdk VM inside another Ubuntu VM ?
-
It seems that these packages have conflict
libqt5quick5-gles with libqt5quick5
libqt5gui5-gles with libqt5gui5 -
Can i edit files directly on the phone ?
I checked under /usr/share/lomiri-system-settings
some files are present in qml-plugin but some src files are not there ? -
I am using crossbuilder t omake deb packages of lomirisystem-settings it built the packages but having issues installing it on ubports-pdk VM for testing
where can i specify my own version of the package
currently version 1.0.2+ is installed
