Sudo -o

and hit enter you shuld just enter the password for phablet and full steam ahead. None of that sudo unable to resolve host ubuntu-phablet stuff, but I have no idea what is happening, sorry.

The port version you are using is it the FP3 installer config or the FP3/FP3+ port - Hallium 10. No idea if that has the slightest to do with it but the info may help someone.

I just wanted to let you all know that I wrote all the steps after sudo -s without sudo and everything worked like a charm! Now, I can see my google contact. Thank you so much for all the help. This community is great. ❤

If you do sudo -s you don't need to put sudo after as you're already root.

I would only do sudo mount -o remount,rw /
Then check the status of the partition.

That will just help clear up that the basics are right. After that it may well be an issue with the Fairphone 3 port but I am really not sure. This has always worked well for me but I have OP devices.

I have a Fairphone 3+. I am asked to input the password after sudo -s. I input my 4 digit passcode. This is what the terminal outputs for me.

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cd Downloads
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/Downloads$ sudo -s
sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu-phablet
[sudo] password for phablet: 
root@ubuntu-phablet:~/Downloads# sudo mount -o remount,rw /
sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu-phablet

I followed the post from Oct 13 until item #3 because thats when I got the message my original comment mentioned. I cant run any sudo commands due to that message, unfortunately.

Did you follow carefully all the steps that I described here on latest October 13 2020?

I tried following this setup but whenever I run a sudo command, I get the message: "sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu-phablet"

Any suggestions as to how to fix this? I tried searching for a solution here in the forums but could'nt find any. Not sure whether it is due to my inexperience or actual issue in my device. 😅

It should be fixed in next OTA-14.
In the meantime, you can try this workaround: (worked perfectly well for me as well as dozen users)

. Start to enable the access of "less secured apps" in your Google account. Than run as following:

  1. From your device, download this plugin: https://github.com/rubencarneiro/account-plugins/releases
  2. Open the terminal application (tap on ENTER key after each following command)
  3. Type: cd Downloads
  4. Type: sudo -s
  5. Type: sudo mount -o remount,rw /
  6. Type: sudo dpkg -i account-plugin-google_0.15.0ubports1local.1586944513_all.deb
  7. Type: cd
  8. Type: exit
  9. Reboot your device
  10. Open settings => accounts => select Google
  11. Enter your e-mail address
  12. Enter your password
  13. Without enlarging the screen with your fingers, select: "Allow all actions"

Here you should be well connected to your Google account, which will automatically sync your calendar & contacts on your device
