Unfortunately I have no follow-up advice for now - but to make sure, former versions of Sculpt on PinePhone did not exhibit these issues (perhaps with the same SD card)? (I normally use “SanDisk Ultra” cards, which did work fine so far.)

I then proceeded to the setup steps, - Expand... Confirm... still returns immediately - Tapping "default" results in message "relabelling in progress" displayed for about a third of a second, i.e. it returns immediately too. FWIW, I have a bunch of SD cards/packages associated with this phone, EMTEC, Verbatim, etc. It seems the one I'm dd'ing the SculptOS image to is a 16 GB "Verbatim premium 80MB/s-read 533x (cl.1)" or some such. Later on I'll try to make a "swap" with another card, i.e. write LuneOS on that SD card, and write ScultpOS on the (ex) LuneOS card, in case the latter sd-card is more compatible than the former.

We already got a similar report from someone on the PinePhone forum [2] where changing the MMC clocking back to previous setting did the trick.

PinePhone Sculpt SD Card Problem (was: Re: Announcement: Sculpt OS 23.04 released)

Cédric I had a similar, but not identical, situation on my 3GB version. In my case, anything involving writing (expand, default, etc.) would never complete, but slow the system to a crawl in the process. The problem was something about the SD card - it works fine in desktop Linux, but refuses to work in PinePhone Genode. I tried quite a few things, but nothing worked. Changing to a new SD card solved the problem, and now I have a fully functional system. One thing I noticed, which may or may not be useful: Running fdisk in Linux on the card with the Genode image will complain about the partition block. If you then press "w" for write (without making any other changes), it will write its corrected version to the card. (I tried so many things that I forget if this one was important or not.)

Re: Announcement: Sculpt OS 23.04 released
Dear PinePhone users, piggybacking on Christian's announcement, I've slightly updated my recent Genodians article with information about the Sculpt 23.04 version: http://genodians.org/nfeske/2023-02-01-mobile-sculpt The official image as published by Genode Labs is almost identical my current development version. The few differences are captured by my (stable) 'sculpt_23_04_pinephone' branches: https://github.com/nfeske/genode/commits/sculpt_23_04_pinephone https://github.com/nfeske/genode-allwinner/commits/sculpt_23_04_pinephone As you can see, they cover minor but nice UI improvements like adjusting the size of the system shell, slightly increasing the buttons to be more touch friendly, or increasing the package-download speed. The easiest way to enjoy these conveniences is by switching the software-update dialog to 'nfeske', installing the just-released version 2023-04-28, and reboot into my custom system image. As another nicety, I'd like to share that the new version in principle supports the 2 GiB model of the PinePhone. However, the larger presets (morph and jitsi) will most probably cause trouble on the 2 GiB variant. Hoping that you will like the new version, Norman -- Dr.-Ing.
