pmos on jolla

tried pmbootstrap first time today. it knew about jolla device, only in edge, but alas the device works only under vendor kernel 3.4. also i guess it is not possible to install pmos to emmc on this device, it can only booted bf issuing a command when connected to the computer in fastboot mode.

i wanted to install sxmo, and sxmo booted once, but i saw its screen only for two seconds, then it went black and volume or power buttons didn't work, i guess device was hung. sxmo with wayland didn't boot, dancing dots were freezing. same with mate and fbkeyboard. only i3wm booted, but on its low pane i saw 'no battery' and i had no onscreen keyboard and was not able to ssh to device.

another problem was that in later tries sxmo didn't instalr because one of its packages started having bad signatures. i think it was a coincidence and something broke at the time i was installing it. i tried zap -a, i used other workdir, i removed caches manually, nothing helped and most probably it is on the server side.
