I have accomplished so far:

  • ssh-ing to the phone
  • devel-su -ing
  • setting a root password
  • installing nano to forbid root logins in the sshd_config
  • mkfs.btrfs... -O ^noext or on the sdcard to make the sd-card formatted with btrfs (which I use on all my other computers anyway) - for now, it shall be a data-only card, so I do not want to mix it up with the internal storage as suggested here in the forum
  • I manuall mounted the card at /media/sdcard, but it is not seen as such external storage e.g. in the ownKeepass-App. I also have no idea if I have to put it in /etc/fstab or not
  • I chowned the card to the nemo user
  • as external storage its not seen so i ln -s ed it at least into the desktop.
  • installed signal and threema
  • installed sailbox and ownkeepass to get my account keys.
  • Now I want to setup a google (yes, I know) mail account with a VERY long and cryptic key, but can't paste into the password field. On Android I would point at the password field a while, and then an insert here box would appear, but where is copy and past on sfos?

What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to setup accounts via ssh-terminal? Would be kind of clumsy to have to type in 20+ special chars...

There was no need for me to manually mount the btrfs-formated sdcard or edit any file. I just formatted the sdcard in my laptop and put it into jolla. It's mounted automatically then.

There's a copy password functionality in the pulldown menu of each entry in ownkeepass.

  • as you use ownkeepass you'll have to copy the credentials there, otherwise you would select any string (well, if it is no mail etc.) and the selection is copied automatically to the clipboard.
  • select the field where you want to paste the string in, the keyboard should appear. Notice the clipboard and tip it.
  • Done.
