In a previous post I’ve written how it’s possible to create screenshots on the pinephone with grim. This doesn’t work on sxmo because sxmo doesn’t use wayland but X. It’s possible to create screenshot on sxmo with the program scrot.

At the moment I’m using sxmo on my pinephone. What I missed about sxmo was the possibility to create a hotspot so that I can share my mobile data connection with other devices. After some reading I managed to successfully set up a hotspot.

I was looking for a way to create screenshots of my pinephone. After reading this nice article it was clear that grim can do the job.

Because I’ve received my pinephone recently, I’m testing various operating systems with it. During these tests, setting up wifi is very cumbersome because I use a very long random password. That’s why I’ve created a little script ‘wifi’ that I copy to the sd-card and start it from the command line to make a wifi connection with my home network.

To control my DIY smart thermostat, I’ve created a webpage where some content like the current temperature needs to be refreshed.
