Apps and SD Card |

I have noticed that most apps have a real difficulty using the SD card mounted in /media; as in they do not always have the ability to even browse but expect all media it will be playing and organizing to be stored in a default music or video directory in /home.
I think most users will be storing most multimedia on a SD card yet the only way to get for example Lolypop(music player) is to launch it from the command line with the SD directory holding my music. Similar problems with Totem made worse by the absolutely minimal video codec support.
On desktop Linux I have options to choose apps like Audacious and VLC which are happy to let me manage my media rather than taking over organization with no other options when I just want playback.

Call and sms out work only shortly after answering a call |

Hello,
I have a very strange bug.
On mobian and manjaro updated, SMS/MMS/call in and data works very well.
But SMS/MMS and call out work only in the 5seconde after I hung up an incoming phone.
When I look to the modem log, I saw that the last commande is "Executed soft sleep sequence". It's like it didn't wake up.
When I try to send an sms with nmcli, I have a WmsMessageDeliveryFailure error (don't know how to copy/past the terminal).
Is it the right place to ask ?

Problems installing/ booting a different Linux on PinebookPro |

Hello community,
currently I'm using Armbian (Debian/ Bullseye) on my PinebookPro and I've been pretty ok with it. Yes, it is slow, and yes, internal speakers are terrible, and true, suspend does not work (in a usable fashion that's not quickly draining the battery), and well, occasionally the screen just stays blank when trying to boot... but the device is light and quiet.
But since I read on this forum that "my" Armbian was not supported anymore, and also hoping I'd get a U-Boot version with graphical output, I tried to install a different Linux this weekend. In conclusion I gave up for the time being, deciding my system was good enough for now, and I'd probably better soon switch to a 2013 ThinkPad 440s with twice the RAM, which I happened to get some time after having bought the PinebookPro.
I tried the Manjaro image writer script, and I tried downloading and booting the Manjaro image. First I tried SD cards with my Armbian still on the emmc, which would not boot. I kind of remembered (from my experience one, two years back) that this was probably the u-boot from the SD card trying to boot the system from the emmc (?).
Well, no problem, I thought, since I purchased the emmc to usb adapter some time last year: I'll just write the image straight to the emmc. This did work to some extend: I had u-boot output, the screen would switch to the Manjaro boot logo... and get stuck there. I could press escape and get system messages, though:
Code: Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-partuuid/57[...] ...
ERROR: device 'PARTUUID=57[...]' not found. Skipping fsck
[not?] mounting 'PARTUUID=57[...]' on real root.
Mount: /new_root: can't find PARTUUID=57[...].
Your are now being dropped into an emergency shell.
?h: Can't access tty; job control turned off
[rootfs ]#
(Sorry, the left of the photo I took from the screen was not entirely readable.)
Strange, I thought, and tried to fix it by taking out the emmc again, and modifying the /etc/fstab on it. I changed the UUIDs for "/boot/" and "/" so they'd correspond to what was shown in "/dev/disk-by-uuid". This made the process get further, with "/" apparently being ok now, but "/boot" still would not get mounted, and so booting still failed, still giving me no keyboard input. The /boot partition UUID was suspiciously short, maybe due to the vfat file system on it.
This was where I had enough for now. I thought I'd still write it down in the forum, so maybe someone can use this feedback to improve the documentation and/ or the software. If someone can point out a simple way of installing a working Linux, I might also try that some time soon.
I read on the forum there's a new Armbian maintainer. Now it is based on Ubuntu, which would be fine with me once 22.04LTS is out.
But what's the right way of installing it? Do I have to "hide" the emmc by either overriding the partition (thus destroying my working system before having an alternative ready), or by taking it out/ disabling it with the hardware switch? The latter is quite annoying, since already my Pinebook case is damaged from: one screw has come through the now widened hole, and I ripped one of the speaker cables out by accident (not terrible, since I'm mostly using an external USB speaker anyways).

Mobian : Firefox, toolbar has moved to the bottom. |

On my PinePhone Pro running Mobian the Firefox UI has automagically changed itself. The toolbars, Menu, URL field and buttons are all now at the bottom. I can't find the setting in Firefox to change it back. It is driving me nuts.
This is only on the PinePhone Pro Firefox on my PinePhone Firefox seems unchanged. Apart from applying available updates I have made no other changes to the OS and Firefox on this device. The PPP has been undated and rebooted this morning. Still no change.
Has there been a change in the files in userChrome, CSS etc that moves the UI elements around? If I know what has been changed then I have a chance of changing it back. Otherwise I can go and get the files created by Aris on Github to customise the Firefox UI and at least get the toolbar back at the top.

manjaro-phosh did make calls -- now nothing |

I had manjaro-phosh img beta 22 working quite well with voice, sms, amd mms. I am using Consumer Cellular (really att) sim card. I am running from SD. After a pacman system update all phone calls, sms, amd mms stopped. Phone says "call completed" from dial as soon as you finsh keying in a dial call. Sim card is recognized
I have tried a dozen or so OS/desktop software alternatives to the sd card; no change. I tried arch and mobian OS. I took sim card out and put the sim card into plain pinephone (not pro) and it made a call. That eliminates the sim card as a fault for me.
Is there any system modem software (hardware level for modem) that is below that on the OS SD card that could be a cause? Perhaps something on the eMMC but that is not used.
Only alternative thing I can think of is a modem hardware failure that happened concurrently with the pacman update. That'd be pretty unlikely, I think.
Anyone with any ideas????? thanks, tom kosvic
