GPS never worked for me on FP2, there is a related open issue here fyi: https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/356

@baruchiro You may have to create the folders in /userdata/system-data/var/cache/... i do not recall if i did or not on my side

@baruchiro Adding this line will allow you to mount that /var/cache/.. folder inside the larger /userdata partition so there is space available to perform the package installation (double slashes are expected, check similar existing lines in /etc/fstab and note it's a bind mount)
Not sure if such change should be made persistant or only considered as a workaround...

@padraic @baruchiro @matteo Got the same issue on FP2 and solved it by adding this line to /etc/fstab:

/userdata/system-data//var/cache/apt/archives /var/cache/apt/archives none bind 0 0

Issue then a sudo mount -a and retry installing...

@dln949 If the screen is bowed, it must be that the battery has died and increased on size i'm afraid, i had the same recently on a macbook for which the keyboard started sticking out and the the trackpad was not responsive anymore

What are your thoughts?

@advocatux Here is the script i use fyi:

#! /bin/bash
sudo mount -o remount,rw /
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade syncthing
sudo mount -o remount,ro /

@FishFingers44 Last version 1.1.1 works fine on OTA8

@guru said in How to re-mount the SD:

Is ext4 on the SD supported without making the system writable to modify the fstab?

I would guess not, using encryption, a script is required to mount the fs following this post: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/1012/one-method-to-encrypt-home-phablet

I had a go at it, inserted a new SD card, formatted it using the External Drives app and it actually do not create a partition but format the whole SD card in fat32/vfat which is a behavior i have never observed before...

Additional 2p, it looks like the External Drives app only support vfat:

@guru That bumps it up to almost 60 years on this page, hopefully we will manage
Looking at https://github.com/ubports/ciborium, it seems that udisks2 is in use, can you have a try with something like this (maybe without p1):

sudo udisksctl mount -b /dev/mmcblk1p1

Never heard ab it before tbh, info seems to give hints as well: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/udisksctl.1.html
