Re: Librem 5 installer - trixie or bookworm

Hello,

I have been willing to reflash my librem 5 with FDE. As I understand it, I will need the installer to do so. There is none availble to download on the official website.


That is the easiest way. Alternatively, you can use the `-c` and `-R` flags in Mobian Recipes (https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/mobian-recipes) to build a pre-encrypted image. This is the method I'd recommend at the moment.


- Is there any way to do enable Full Disk Encryption with the weekly image (though I wanted to stay on Trixie for a stable release as I intend to use it as my main phone)?


You could use cryptsetup-reencrypt, but this is a longer, slower process that you probably don't want.

- Do you have any idea when a new installer will be out for Trixie? Or can you tell me how to download the old Bookworm installer?
- Are there currently known issues preventing the release of a stable installer? I know I had issues with the microphone(s) whilst on calls when I used Trixie back when it was a testing release.


While the Trixie images should be coming soon, sadly there won't be an installer with them. Some upstream incompatibility with QT6 that we haven't been able to resolve means it doesn't work on Trixie. We never actually had an installer for the Librem 5 (only PinePhone and Pro) on Bookworm, so that isn't an option. either.
