Issue mounting Android Phone - udev rules? CalyxOS Install 07 December 2021, 00:04:16 Hello, I am trying to flash CalyxOS on a Google Pixel 4a using my Artix machine. I'm having trouble with Artix finding the phone when plugged in via USB. lsusb does not show the device.The install procedure recommends installing the package android-udev, but after looking at it, it seems this package requires systemd:https://github.com/M0Rf30/android-udev-rulesI think the issue is that I need the right udev rules to identify the device. But, android-udev is only available in the AUR, which I don't have enabled at this time.I'm running Artix on a 2015 MacBook Pro with runit. I can provide more information if required.

I should've done this instead of asking the question, waiting for it to break...I got the flashing to work correctly after this, so I really appreciate your help.

Its been working good. Nice to hear I'm in good company. I completed the flash last night and my first impressions are all 10/10.If I may ask - how are you managing backups/syncing from desktop to mobile? I see Calyx has a backup app, but I could also just mount it and rsync or something.
Re: Issue mounting Android Phone - udev rules? CalyxOS Install Reply #6 – 07 December 2021, 15:36:43 I have a pixel phone. CalyxOS looks like a good replacement. I'm a little hesitant though. I know google sux in respecting users' privacy, but Android 12 is so smooth, almost at the same level with iOS.
