Ok, well I might give it a try... I've done minor ramdisk mode before with unpackbootimg, etc., but I imagine that to change config would require having kernel source and compiling from there, no? Any other way?

Thanks

Yes, of course, you need the source. There is no other way, I am afraid.

You could try to "dconf load" mine but you'll lose your previous settings if this works. I'm not sure why "dump" it doesn't work for you, unless you installed Onboard in a different way maybe (snap or something?).

Can I somehow use the camera in the e.g. firefox within the container desktop? If so, how?

I didn't try that yet but I'd be interested in this too, it would be useful for video conferencing web apps like meet.jit.si, although performance would probably be bad without hardware acceleration.

I have installed and tried the jami app and the web interface of the zoom.

The chat worked fine in Jami but the call (video/audio) didn't.

With zoom, I was able to join a meeting and see the other party but wasn't able t switch the camera on, didn't hear any sound and the other party didn't hear any sound either.
(The sound issue is probably the result of the previously mentioned problem.)

I have also installed linphone but didn't have the chance to try it yet.

If we can find a way to utilize the camera and speaker/mic the desktop distro will be good for even sip or video calls.
(I understand that currently there is no hw acceleration but we may find a workaround for that. And on a powerful device, it might work fine.)

Re: Full linux distos on Sailfish OS

I tried meet.jit.si (it's open source and requires no installation), but no microphone or camera detected either. Don't know if I would see others, but I assume that part would work since it's just a video stream in browser.

Would you mind to edit your first post and change the title to 'distros, please?

It's done. Sorry for the typo! :o

Re: Full linux distros on Sailfish OS

Now that Illyria created an account on TMO, maybe also add a sentence stating harbour-containers and sailfish-lxc-templates are his project and were inspired by the work of Preflex' and Elros34 on chroot? You linked the repositories but now that he has an account here, it would make sense if people could associate his name to this.

Of course! He is the author. If you could let me know how I can do that, I'll transfer/handover/pass on this topic to him. From now on it would make sense to give him as all the credit is his.

Edit: Until we find out how the maintenance of this topic can be transferred to the author, I have updated the first post with the info you mentioned. If you would like to add anything else in there, please let me know!

Re: Full linux distros on Sailfish OS

I have no idea if that's possible, but my humble opinion is it's perfectly fine as is! Thanks!
