error

jesica

Good day
Can someone please assist me
when trying to update of installing SSH on the terminal on my Phinephone, it keeps giving me the /var/lib/dpkg/lock error
How will I be able to fix it

The root filesystem is readonly and upgrading through apt is not supported. System updates are image based.

What are you trying to achieve exactly?

I want to install SSH to logg into my laptop to my phone to tranfers files to my phone

SSH is already installed. You just need to start it (you can run sudo start ssh on the Pinephone), and copy your public key into the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file (as password auth is disabled on the phones for security).

UT TweakTool in the OpenStore has settings for SSH I think.

I did start SSH
I also did copied the public key into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file
It keeps saying Permission Denied

Maybe bear in mind, I am trying this with Ubuntu from Windows

@jesica I found these instructions from Pine64 to be an easy set up
https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=10165

EDIT: But I've just re-read them; may only be effective in dev channel, not sure.

jesica

thanks, will look into that

Hi, @nogoogle
Sorry, I couldn't find a link in your post, which one are you referring to ?

nogoogle

@applee Interesting, I did not post anything on the forum within the past 3 weeks, so I am not sure where this post of mine time-stamped as "a day ago" came from ??

Nevertheless the link I would refer to is this one

Hope this helps @jesica but I still don't understand how I would have posted a reply to her less than 24h ago.....
