Re: [WIP] App / Tweak: patchmanager a system-wide patching system + homescreen tweak
 

Hello,
I've taken the time to do a factory reset of my J1 and patiently update it back to 2.1.1.26.

Via Storeman, I can install some things, but not PatchManager 2.0, the error message I get is:

This is totally cryptic to me. And I guess this is the best place to ask for help. Help.

Re: [WIP] App / Tweak: patchmanager a system-wide patching system + homescreen tweak
 

@romu, I did not intend to be overly harsh, stating "please search first, ask then", so I am glad to hear ...

... that you successfully executed a factory reset and carried out the tedious procedure of updating SailfishOS through all its "stop releases" to its recent version.

Just for the records / your understanding: It was most likely (when you originally updated to SFOS 2.1.1.26, before the factory reset) the fact that you did not unapply all patches before updating SFOS, which caused the effects you experienced back then. Well, I considered this to be obvious; now I understand, that it was not to you, despite all the warnings in many places, e.g. each and every (!) SailfishOS release note.

As I can see (via pckon search name patch) having patch-2.7.5+git1-1.3.1.armv7hl installed under SFOS 2.1.1.26 on my devices, on your Jolla 1 phone pkcon / rpm (triggered by Storeman) is looking for a old version of the Unix patch utility.

Please try:

1. Enable Settings --> Developer tools --> Developer mode and set a root password of your choice there (you may need root access later).
2. Open a terminal window and enter pkcon refresh
3. Then start Storeman and try to install Patchmanager2, again.

As a general remark: Storeman is really nice, capable and quick, but quite "young", so you may also install the old, a bit clumsy and slow Warehouse (by basil) as an alternative application for accessing Openrepos.net (you can install it via Storeman), so you can check that this is not Storeman's fault. Just do not use them concurrently.

Yes, it is: HTH

No problem @olf. Life can be complicated and our brain are full. In such cases, I can be lazy and ask...it's easier than searching I confess.

Thanks a lot for the help. Eveything is fine, I'm in love with SFOS again, OMG! It's a shame the photo quality is so bad, because I use it a lot in my work. I can't wait for SFOS on my X Compact!!

Hi all,
I'm facing something not usual for me.
During my last OS update, the "unapply all patches" process failed with the "Upcoming events on lockscreen" patch, but the update was a success.
It was in july with the 2.1.1.23.
Now, I want to update to 2.1.2.3 but the update fails when it tries to unapply the same patch.

I remove the patch with the command line
Now storeman and warehouse tells me that the patch is removed.
but, it is still visible in patchmanager, and the update process still fails.

PS : like an idiot, I disable the developer mode, and now, I cannot reactivate it (can't find the jolla-developper-mode app in harbor). This is a know issue, and solution exists, but I prefere doing the update before solve it.

Thanks for your help.

Re: [WIP] App / Tweak: patchmanager a system-wide patching system + homescreen tweak
 

Look for it with pkcon search name jolla-developer-mode
As long as you have Warehouse installed, you can still reinstall it as a non-root user via pkcon install jolla-developer-mode jolla-developer-mode-profile

Although it sounds as if you damaged Lipstick, so you may try to reinstall that afterwards, or directly go for a Factory Reset.

Re: [WIP] App / Tweak: patchmanager a system-wide patching system + homescreen tweak
 

Once you get developer mode back a few things to try:

patch -R -p 1 -d / -i /var/lib/patchmanager/ausmt/patches/lockscreen-upcoming/unified_diff.patch

and skip already unapplied entries. Then:
1) Unapply all lockscreen related patches in Patchmanager but do not restart preloaded services.
2) In /usr/share/lipstick-jolla-home-qt5/lockscreen if it exists copy Lockscreen.qml.webosinternals.org to Lockscreen.qml. Check Lockscreen.qml doesn't have the lines from the patch (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=1452)
3) In /usr/share/lipstick-jolla-home-qt5/lockscreen/ remove ShowCalEvents.qml, BorderRectangle.qml, LockEventItem.qml and LockTimeLabel.qml if they are there.
4) Remove any file ending in .webosinternals.orig

Hopefully should be fine after that. Otherwise you can reinstall lipstick with
pkcon install lipstick-jolla-home-qt5

@olf, anig : I solved my firmware update issue with that thread, so now I will start working on removing this patch.

OK, I managed to reinstall lipstick, and remove the patch in patchmanager.

Solved for me.
Thanks for your help.

Updated list of non-conflicting Patches (I have installed), and Patches conflicting with or being an alternative to them (which I have looked at, so far), for SFOS 2.1.2.3 with Patchmanager 2.3.3-10.41.1 (post #2309 was for SFOS 2.1.1.26).

Format: - <Patch name> <my rating>, <Patch author>, <Source: wc (Patchmanager2's web catalog) | RPM (e.g. via Storeman)> [, <alt (alternative) | cts (contains) | "cts" (contains similar or same functionality) | cnf (just conflicts)>: <Patch name> <my rating>, <Patch author>, <wc | RPM>]

"My rating" resolves as follows:
- (+): Nice to have
- (++): Very good
- (+++): IMO a must
No "rating" indicates, that I have not used this Patch long enough to rate it.

Patches listed as an alternative (alt) to and / or contained (cts / "cts") in a Patch implicitly conflict with it (i.e. they cannot be applied together in Patchmanager, as they are patching the same locations of the SFOS UI).

- Refresh browser cover (+), Markkyboy, RPM
- Right-handed tabs (++), Markkyboy, RPM
- Add more calendars (++), Schturman, RPM
- Led missed calendar events (+), Schturman, RPM

And if you like to disable these functions:
- No automatic launcher hint, cornerman, RPM
- Less home animations, cornerman, RPM

... or add this functionality:
- MazeLock, coderus, wc,
alt: Scramble lockpad buttons, coderus, wc

Unfortunately, these Patches are not (yet) compatible with SFOS 2.1.2.3 (while working well under previous SFOS releases):
- Enhanced email cover (+), Ancelad, RPM
- GPS supplier (+; solely for Jolla 1 phones!), Schturman, RPM
- Show month and days of the week heading in Calendar (++), pichlo, RPM

P.S.: As YMMV (just as everybody's, including mine over time), please refrain from criticising my preferences (WRT chosen functionalities) or my (certainly) subjective "ratings".

And still, any suggestions to enhance this list are welcome.

P.S.: See updated list of Patches for SailfishOS 2.1.3.7 in post #2367.
