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

[dobey]

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

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