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

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 like

@nibzy26 if I recall correctly the pdk shows up as a device of you do adb devices on your host with the pdk running.

nibzy26 · 1 Nov 2023, 07:22

@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 app

Note: It was not building the systems-settings package and was complaining about these packages
libqt5quick5-gles
libqt5gui5-gles

so I removed these packages and it built fine.

Question#2: Can we run this pdk VM inside another Ubuntu VM ?

nibzy26 · 1 Nov 2023, 13:27

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 ?

@lduboeuf

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
