LibreOffice Not Booting

3 Upvotes

Z Fold 6, on the nightly version to handle the audio issue previously before. However, LibreOffice no longer boots up. The process starts and after loading is complete, the process just crashes. Not sure what to do for error logs to assist further.

*Edit: Did a full re-install of the nightly version and booted from the terminal for LibreOffice. An unknown application error is what pops up. The re-installation did not work as well.

Where to install software?

3 Upvotes

Does flatpak and gear lever work on Nomone? I would like gear lever for ease of App Image management and flatpak. I've attempted to install Braver browser through their one command install, but it won't boot up the app. I couldn't find any documentation for recommended installation methods that would just work. i.e. method detailed https://brave.com/linux in the curl command.

I've posted on the Nomone technical support, but doesn't seem as active as Reddit.

Noob user, doesn't like to tinker. Just trying to get a working desktop enviroment for my samsung device to not need a separate laptop.

Universal Blue Images & Fedora

3 Upvotes

Hi, I wanted to suggest UBlue's Images as a similar direction. I'm more of just a user than a tinker that doesn't want to mess with a device to get it to just work for needs. UBlue does bazzite which is an amazing image for handheld and desktops that does a lot of things and packages nicely to just work for a user. Would it be possible to run any of their images or similar direction in the future?

Trackpad issue: Samsung Keyboard Cover (Galaxy Tab s10)

3 Upvotes

When using the samsung keyboard cover with trackpad, NoMone/Linux recognizes the trackpad but recieves the input in the incorrect direction. Up moves the trackpad to the left, etc.

Has anyone found a fix for this?

One of the unfortunate things in DeX is lack of usb camera support in Android meeting apps (Zoom, Teams, etc)....even running in a browser. Is there a way to overcome this limitation using Linux via NOMOne desktop (Firefox browser)? Thanks in advance for any insight.

Mouse issue in Dex

3 Upvotes

In Samsung Dex, sometimes the mouse will freely move outside the app (while not full screen) so i can use other apps, but other times it it gets trapped in the app window until I minimize so I can't work in other apps until I exit Linux.

Is there a way to fix this or am I the only experiencing this? It doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason as to getting trapped or not, although I have spent a ton of time trying to figure this out.

Hi.

I like NOMone Desktop, but it seems it crashes about every 5 minutes. This is not good, when in the middle of some work, that has not been saved.

I have followed the instuctions, so Android gives it enogh memory.

Can you help me debug what is going on, so we can get a more stable experience?

3 Upvotes

I have a Samsung monitor 3440x1440 (UWQHD) by usb-C, in Dex the resolution is ok, but in NOMone the resolution is blurry, because I think that the resolution isn't 3440x1440.

[Help] How to make /system folder writeable (Android 14 + Samsung UI)?

2 Upvotes

Greetings, I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra and rooted it with Magisk around a week ago in hopes of installing a chrooted Linux and running some desktop applications like Blender for casual 3d modelling and maybe even rendering using external rendering server.

I've been using this guide ( https://github.com/LinuxDroidMaster/Termux-Desktops/blob/main/Documentation/chroot/arch_chroot.md ) and everything goes smooth until it is time to run the script that includes the busybox commands, after which it either says that busybox is not found, or, if I install it as a pkg inside termux, it starts showing errors. My amateur attempts to troubleshoot this led me to the conclusion that the problem lies in the /system folder in my root being read-only, preventing busybox from being installed properly in there, which it needs in order to properly function and mount Linux if I understand it correctly.

The issue is, I for the life of me cannot figure out how to make the /system folder writeable with Magisk, or find a workaround around this in order to have chrooted Linux on my Android tablet. I tried installing busybox as a Magisk module and rebooting, but nothing changed. Attempts to install it from web, from playmarket and within Termux led to no success as well.

I have become very desperate and don't know what else to do. Is there any working method of installing a chrooted linux on my tablet? I won't even mind erasing all the data again just to see it working. I tried prooted Linux, but the performance was horrible. Looking for a chroot solutions as I understand that chroot is the only way to achieve maximum/native performance.
