V3 supports Apple T2?
booted V3 and I’m not able to use keyboard and trackpad. I tried what is written in the docs but I get a pacman error. It’s impossible to block the database because the fs is read only

yes it does, noa's just come out with it now
and again, YOU CANNOT USE THE SYSTEM PACMAN IN V3
UPDATES HAPPEN IN THE BACKGROUND
god this needs to go somewhere
and that’s actually great
so… how?
you do nothing
it's done via ISOs, soon to use
zsync
applied at reboot
you're never notified
you're only notified at boot after an upgrade has taken place
takes 0 secondsi was talking about t2 stuff
yeah Noa revealed a new build to us, they're working on getting it up now
i’ll just stay here and wait then
yep, would have to do some backend job to make updates work

wifi works?
you must have to manually install firmware due to copyright reasons
I can’t install the firmware, I got this error. Can someone help me to get working?
I don’t have the possibility to use Ethernet
Is it possible that this happening because I got fedora installed?
(I run the script in macOS and after in blend live)
It stops here, I can’t understand why
and then unload and reload brcmfmac
I’ve done now and I got the same problem
This is my output
hmm that means fw isnt installed properly
Is it possible it happened because I was in live blend?
Because today I use fedora on my Mac and when I installed it I simply run the firmware.sh before in MacOS and after in Linux and all things worked
I think I’ll try blend v2 instead
But I don’t know how to update to v3 in future. Immutable system are new to me
you have to reinstall to go to v3
v2 and v3 are completely different
For now you can’t update to v3 you have to reinstall
Thanks all, I installed v3 and someone help me to set up everything. Thanks for this beautiful project
And also for this beautiful community
Possible to provide the steps and guides?
I'm having issues with boot and grub.
@ﾑ丂ｲ乇尺ﾉ丂ズ thanks, but as mentioned else where, the boot partition setup and grub doesn't work.
do the t2 website guides still work?
scroll up
that shows what they did
you might have to ask @Mihate Hiura

I was able to finally to get grub working. Using the MacOS boot partition, mounted per the pre install instructions on wiki for T2. https://wiki.t2linux.org/guides/preinstall/
The first time I tried this, the firmware.sh wifi script failed and I would have to reboot. So today, I tried doing the wifi script first then mount /boot/EFI and new system partition. Ran Jade install gui without error. I'm in!
Hope this helps someone else. The note you need to follow on the pre install wiki is at the very bottom of the page.
Now that I'm in. The firmware.sh script can't write to system. How do I get wifi working on an immutable system.
Bluetooth is working but journalctl returns the brcmfmac has failed with error code -2 as the instruction suggest is correct. But the next lines are different. "Dongle setup failed". Maybe the script and firmware did complete via the script but I'm having an issue with the kernal finishing setup.

Do you need the Broadcom WL drivers?
Found the aur broadcom-wl driver. Unable to install as root: read-only file system.
What am I missing? Feel like a dummy. There's gotta be a way to install drivers on an immutable system. Did the installer of the liveusb fail to push the driver?
the driver should be in the arch repos
sudo system install broadcom-wl-dkms
https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/broadcom-wl-dkms/
you want the -dkms as we're using the zen kernel
or in your case, the T2 xanmod kernelIs 'sudo system' the right syntax?
pacman -S give me "read only filesystem"
You have to use sudo system
It installs arch packages to the host for you
Yes
system not found
oh shit right t2 isos are old
do
sudo akshara set-custom-packages broadcom-wl-dkmsFor future reference, this command requires network.
I ran it it without issue and then got this error:
"

@ﾑ丂ｲ乇尺ﾉ丂ズ Should I proceed or abort?abort
right the "kernel modules tree" shit
ok so there's one more way
a little experimental
so first you'll have to run
sudo akshara set-custom-packages gumReboot first to undo changes?
yeah good idea
but after you reboot and run the above
custom packages: gum ran successfully
good
you might wonder what gum is
it's a dependency of the script
the script installs it via system so you have to install it manually
because you don't have system
it'll skip install if it detects gum
and don't run
install.sh
just run mutifier
you might need to mutify more than just /usr/ but the mutify-cli makes that easy
basically this will remount these partitions as read-write for you
so you can use pacman
and ideally access the running kernel
and copy your firmware via the script"
bash ./mutifier
Checking for gum...
which: no gum in (/home/admin/.local/bin/blend_bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/home/admin/.bin:/var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl)
Gum is not installed, installing...
When it asks you if you want to install, say yes (press y)
sudo: system: command not found
"ffs I'll have to rework the checker
just comment that bit out for now
you can
nano the scriptYup
these lines
I'll push this to git as well
so you can also
git pull
then run the script againSo I don't have git installed and pacman....welp yeah.
I manually downloaded, extracted, commented out as shown and I get this.
"
Controls: Arrow keys to move, enter to select
./mutifier: line 13: gum: command not found
"run
./mutify-cli /usr/
the CLI is pure bash
shouldn't rely on anything external
besides mount obviouslyThere's no output. That might be correct.
there shouldn't be
I still don't have system rw access
@Boxalox, you've gained the level
1/usr should be read-writeable
now
it resets on reboot
maybe it's because your version is older
I think I'm gonna put this on the shelf for now. Shifting back to Fedora and might take a swing at EOS
@ﾑ丂ｲ乇尺ﾉ丂ズ Thanks for the help. It is greatly appreciated.
Try EndeavourOS
Hi! I am in the same boat! On a macbook, blend os is installed, wifi hack with the firmware.sh worked on the live usb but the same hack don’t work because part of the system is read-only.
My question is how can I execute the firmware.sh and unlock part of the system for the write.
https://git.blendos.co/asterisk/blendos-mutifier
(If anyone wants to contribute then I'll move this to Github)
- To use
mutifier, run sudo system install gum beforehand.
- mutify-cli requires no extra dependencies and is used as such:
mutify-cli <mount-point> [other-mount-point], ex. mutify-cli /usr/Use this
Then try
I will check this out! Thanks you!
