@c4pp4 so it is a bug! But I don't understand, it doesn't always happen. I'm in the devel channel and it doesn't happen with all the updates.

Hi @c4pp4, I just switched from armhf to arm64 using the installer. But now I have the problem that the openstore crashes when I try to launch it. Is there a way to reinstall the openstore from the command line?

Edit:
I found a way that worked:

sudo -H -u phablet pkcon install-local --allow-untrusted openstore.openstore-team_<VERSION>_arm64.click

And after that reinstalling those apps that crash with the openstore.

@hsce1 You can also go Settings >> Update >> Update Settings >> Reinstall All Apps. This won't reinstall all apps though so you might need to reinstall some from OpenStore.

hsce1 · 8 Sept 2020, 10:41

@kugiigi Oh, ok. Thank you!

c4pp4 · 8 Sept 2020, 13:48

@hsce1 Sorry about that. In my case the openstore launched.

hsce1 · 8 Sept 2020, 14:42

No problem. That was quickly fixed and no data was lost due to the switch

I am hitting similar bug to https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/issues/1052 and thus I'd like to do a manual install but I am unable to find the instructions. Installing from linux box so I have all the unix tools at hand and I can read code too.

wvi · 12 Sept 2020, 09:09

Basically is there a list of the commands that the UB installer is running, TBH I don't want to spend time figuring it out from the async javascript code in the electron app.

c4pp4 · 12 Sept 2020, 10:07

@wvi The issue 1052 is about "No space left on device" and your issue 1343 is about "write failed: Read-only file system".

wvi · 9 Dec 2020, 12:32

@c4pp4 Yes, I realized that later but what I am asking for now is if there is a way how to avoid using this graphical installer so I have clear logs and can find what is the issue and possibly find the solution.

fredldotme · 9 Dec 2020, 12:36

@wvi there are some steps done with fastboot, but you won't be able to install the system image itself manually that way. You might have to build ubuntu-device-flash yourself to do without the UBports installer.

wvi · 12 Sept 2020, 12:57

This is my first attempt so sorry for dumb questions. Is there a way how to see the UB-installer logs without filing bug?

wvi · 12 Sept 2020, 13:02

@fredldotme Thanks I'll try to do with the installer as it is more than just doing stuff with abd shell and copyting files around.

c4pp4 · 12 Sept 2020, 15:57

@wvi Have you made all pre-install steps from the first post?

wvi · 12 Sept 2020, 19:14

@c4pp4 Yes, I did wipe the partitions as well.

c4pp4 · 12 Sept 2020, 22:12

@wvi OK just for sure, when your device is booting, do you see the message "Your device has been unlocked"?
You can try booting Ubuntu 20.04 live from flash drive and using snap ubports-installer to exclude some kind of your system environment problem.

wvi · 13 Sept 2020, 17:10

@c4pp4 Yes my device can't be trusted anymore Good idea I will try the Ubuntu 20 approach.

wvi · 13 Sept 2020, 17:20

Maybe I made some progress because now my install fails on

mount -a mount:mounting /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system on /system failed: Invalid argument

Update:
After downloading Ubuntu 20.4 and running installer from the liveCD I got the same result.

fredldotme · 13 Sept 2020, 19:22

@wvi looks like wiping the system partition using TWRP wasn't successful. What happens when you do it manually using mk2fs or mkfs.ext4?

Hello, I'm new to this forum. Should all issues installing UBports on Xperia X go into this thread, or should I open a separate one?
