Mobian and Keyboard

[biketool]

Also I am having the same issue with Mobian sluggish and goes black after login.
Are we supposed to charge the keyboard first before attaching the PP?

I just installed the latest tow-boot and mobian-installer nightly installer image to my Pinephone with a dead keyboard and it worked. My PinePhone was nearly charged 100%. It is best for the batteries to be at full charge before hooking everything up. I haven't checked yet but in previous Mobian editions, it didn't allow for the PinePhone to charge at a fast charging rate, there is a patch suggested in the official mobian wiki. Make sure when charging to have the charger plugged into the keyboard case and not the Pinephone.

The issue I am still having is the keymapping for some of the keys is broken, for things like the pipe command. Will have to look into that later this week as well. I am running my system encrypted, with a spare SD card for storage. I mainly wanted the keyboard case so that I could use my Pinephone as a terminal so having it not work is upsetting to me.

I fully shutdown my pinephone running Bookworm snapped into the KB then inserted the power USB.  I booted and could not use the kb to enter my boot pw.  once I get to login everything moves very slowly like a very loaded down system.  I can login but any app that opens will crash the window manager after about 500ms, it reloads the window manager in a few minutes.  I noticed phoc was frequently taking around 35 up to 95% when I ran top. I am ssh'ed in but nto sure what to look for now.  I can't leave it charging for now; but I am really excited to be back with a full pocket computer vs a phone.  My N900 and Zaurus before it had both Linux and hardware kb, the future keyboard I have now is what helped decide on the PP to keep my 22 year pocket sized Linux w/KB streak going.
(edit)I am curious though, should I be able to use the keyboard to enter my mobian pin? I am pretty sure there would be no keyboard driver for the boot password.
Also, what do we use the keyboard on/off button for?
(edit 2)
I noticed with the KB on phoc was frequently taking around 35% cpu resting up to 95% when typing my pin monitoring top via ssh.
