Topic for Pinephone enthousiasts: how to proceed If we want an SD card with privacy data & use it on the Pinephone as well as on a PC?

Last Updated on June 14, 2024 by pg@petergamma.org

  • Ubuntu Touch does not offer to write to the external SD card.
  • So i installed PostmarketOS on my Pinephone.
  • To get it the easiest way I installed PostmarketOS on the external SD card of my Pinephone.
  • I thought this would be the easiest way to process further files which are stored on my external Pinephone SD card together with the postmarketOS distro.
  • I then pulled the SD card where the whole postmarketOS was installed with my Abiword files I created from my Pinephone.
  • Then I have sticked it into a PC running Ubuntu:
  • But it was not that easy:
  • The problem was with permissions:

  • How can I get the permissions to write to the external SD card on my Ubuntu PC which I have pulled out from my Pinephone running postmarketOS and sticked into my Ubuntu PC with an SD card reader?
  • I’ve installed postmarkedOS on the external SD card of my Pinephone as well as Abiword.
  • I have created a file with Abiword and saved it.
  • Then I’ve plugged it into a PC running Ubuntu.
  • I can open the Abiword file on my Ubuntu PC.
  • But when I want to save it a get an error, that I have no permission to write this file onto my SD card from my postmarketOS Pinephone.
  • How can I get this permission?
