Suddenly...
When i move any window on the screen i get a 3x3 grid that redraws itself sloooowly several times across the arc of the movement, and when it settles down the content of the window can be used again. I was playing with redshift when this began (it has has since been removed), and the only other change today was an apt upgrade or apt dist-upgrade something or other.
Is there a logfile for apt grades? There must be.
Assuming i can find the upgraded, i imagine i could roll it back but i don't know how to do either of those steps.
Sorry for the newbie helplessness, but my PBP is not really usable like this. 
Anyone want to share some expertise?

| Update to OpenGL 2.1 |

I'm a very happy PinebookPro user. I'm more used to the Raspberry Pi family but trying to get familiar with this Pine product.
When starting an application that I installed using the package manager it says that it requires OpenGL 2.1 to run and tells me 'try updating your drivers'.
Code: glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"
Gives me:
OpenGL version string: 2.0 gl4es wrapper 1.1.1
Is there a possibility to upgrade to 2.1?

| Dual booting Linux with ChromiumOS using "boot floppy" |

Not really a guide, just want to share my findings with dual booting using SD card.
I have installed Ubuntu Linux and wanted to install Chromium OS on eMMC too.
So, download Chromium OS from ayufan's github: https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/chromiu...8d6.img.xz
Unzip it using unxz and write to SD card.
Code: unxz chromiumos-rockpro64-R77-12371.7.104.g78f88d6.img.xz
sudo dd if=chromiumos-rockpro64-R77-12371.7.104.g78f88d6.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=4M status=progress
Copy the partitions ROOT-A and STATE from SD card to eMMC in Gparted. If your Linux partition takes whole eMMC, first resize it when booted Linux from SD card.
Mount original ROOT-A partition on SD card and edit /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf: replace "${bootdevice}p${bootdevice_part}" by the location of copied ROOT-A partition on your eMMC, in my case it was "mmcblk1p8".
Mount copied ROOT-A partition on your eMMC and edit /sbin/chromeos_startup: replace the line 212: STATE_DEV="${ROOTDEV_TYPE}${PARTITION_NUM_STATE}" by the partition number of your STATE partition on your eMMC, in my case it was 9, so my line is STATE_DEV="${ROOTDEV_TYPE}9"
That is all. Now you should be able to boot Chromium OS from eMMC using booting SD card or default Linux without SD card.
Similar way works for booting Recalbox from eMMC (confirmed).

| Pinebook serial console usage |

Hi,
Is the Pinebook Serial Console usable with the Pinebook Pro?
On mine PBP, when I used the Pinebook serial console, it seems to lead to eMMC not responding: when plugged-in from cold boot, I got DDR initialization then it hangs; if I plug the jack after DDR initialization, I got eMMC timeout.
Here is a sample serial output, from a cold boot:

With the jack plugged-in but the USB plug not attached to a computer, it boots normally.
What am I doing wrong?

| Citrix ICA Client on Pinebook Pro |

For google, following generations and me in a few months:
The Citrix ICA Client won't install on an armhf system with an aarch64 kernel.
Use "dpkg -i icaclient_19.10.0.15_armhf.deb" - installation fails. The do "sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/info/icaclient.postinst". Go to line 2213, replace
Code: echo $Arch|grep -i "^arm" >/dev/null
with
Code: echo $Arch|grep -i "^a" >/dev/null
and do "apt -f install" - the icaclient will now configure correctly.
Unfortunately, I haven't yet found the Citrix HDX Media engine for armhf (not distributed freely by Citrix) - it should exist; I use an armhf thin client with HDX at work.

No sound on PBP default installation |

Hi,
I just received the PBP with preinstalled Debian + Mate. everything is more or less fine, except that the sound doesn't work at all:
- neither on speakers, nor on headphones
- in Alsamixer no setting helped me, when trying to set output to default, the Alsamixer aborts and I can't rerun it
- I tried checking sound from "control panel", I think there is no connection to Pulseaudio (but Pulseaudio is installed)
- when I play a song (no sound ofcourse), one setting in volume control says that there is no app playing the sounds, although it's playing.
I haven't tried to update anything, I don't know the commands.
I don't know if I need maybe to set that UART switch if set to off, but I need to open the laptop for that. (as in thread https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8231)
I haven't tried it on HDMI, I don't see that port, only UCB-C, if it is meant for HDMI, I have no adapter to try..
I am pretty much a noob in Linux, so any help with an elaborated answer (links to explanations like "how to install or try out a new OS") would be appreciated

Firefox crashes in the default Debian build |

Hi,
I recall in one of the videos/updates that it was mentioned that Firefox was less stable than Chromium, and that it would crash regularly. I'm not sure whether or not it's a useful observation, but I've noticed that the crashes almost always appears to be down to changes to the PBP's network interfaces, i.e. switching WiFi networks or connecting/disconnecting a VPN.
