  calDAV cardDAV connectivity
Posted by: Uturn - 10-03-2023, 02:35 AM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (4)

I can add my Nextcloud Account in Prefs, and I will see my files in Dolphin or in Konqueror. But Phonebook will not sync any contacts. And in Merkuro Calendar and Merkuro Contacts I can set up DAV connectivity but it will throw an error.
Are there methods to make Nextcloud connectivity a little more useful, or is DAV mostly disfunctional these days?

  256GB EMMC!
Posted by: sallyhaj - 10-02-2023, 09:27 PM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (3)

Hello there,
I am just wondering if Pinebook Pro can handle 256GB emmc?
Has anyone try that?


  star64-image-minimal-star64-2.1 & X fonts
Posted by: tantamount - 10-02-2023, 07:02 PM - Forum: General - No Replies

@Fishwaldo 

I tried using the new 2.1 minimal image on the Star64, and I see that a lot of progress has been made, which is great.

However when I installed xserver-xorg and xorg-minimal-fonts and a bunch of other stuff to run the X server, I found that every single basic X program was unable to locate its fonts.

Xterm, rxvt, twm, everything failed to load any fonts. The only program that was able to find any fonts was Firefox (which was unusable for a different reason--slowness).

Is there a quick fix for this font issue? I'd like to go ahead and start using the X server.

UPDATE 1:
I've now also tried the Weston and Plasma variants.

1. Weston worked the best, insofar as X works and I could launch the terminal.
Weston has a bug where, if I log in as pine64, it logs me out and logs me in automatically as the user weston.
Also, there is very little by way of menus e.g. there is no mechanism to log the user out.

2. Plasma was (as expected) very slow and I think unsuitable for this type of computer. Plasma is better on gaming rigs. Plasma failed to launch the Terminal, so it was useless.

UPDATE 2:
I tried Minimal again and now, there are no packages related to X Windows available.


  Plasma mobile latest stable @pp1.2b voice calling audio issue
Posted by: n05ph3r42 - 10-02-2023, 01:20 PM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - Replies (3)

When voice call starts, only first 5 secs is with audio, then sound stops, while call is still active.

After this audio is in "Invalid state" as i can see in plasma mobile audio settings, when trying to play test sound.

This "Invalid state" can be fixed by switching audio profile of output from "hi-fi" to "phone call" and vice versa, as i noticed.

Any ideas how to fix? There is no errors in dmesg, but as for me it looks like some buffer issue, or another overflow.


  pinephone with lte-m chip and volte
Posted by: zetabeta - 10-02-2023, 05:42 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - No Replies

pinephone with lte-m chip and volte.

i'm not seriously proposing anything based on lte-m at this point. putting new model is already a design problem.

because battery life is bad as something in pinephone (pro). could lte-m based chip alleviate power usage? of course volte (voice over lte) needs to work for this case. lte-m data speeds are somewhere around 1Mbit/s, meaning that there are slow. frequency band support might be reduced as well. do people have some knowledge on this issue?

what i know, cpu is the biggest waster of battery for pinephone and pro. modem chip is the second waster. so the reduction of power usage is probably not big.

  [Video] LVGL in WebAssembly: Building NuttX Touchscreen Apps with Zig
Posted by: lupyuen - 09-30-2023, 03:37 AM - Forum: PinePhone Software - No Replies

What if we could prototype and test Touchscreen Apps in the Web Browser, before running on a real device like PinePhone?

In this presentation we explain how we compiled the LVGL Graphics Library to WebAssembly with Zig Compiler. We created a Feature Phone App in the Zig Programming Language that runs in the Web Browser, calling the LVGL Library in WebAssembly.

The same app also runs on PinePhone with NuttX. We hope that this will someday enable NuttX Apps to be created and tested easily in the Web Browser.

  Not booting anymore from SD
Posted by: oloturia - 09-29-2023, 10:18 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook - No Replies

I kept the default Linux installation on the eMMC and an Android one on the SD.

For reasons, KDE uninstalled some vital components and eventually it crashes after boot. I tried to install some other OS (I tried a bunch) by flashing on two differents SDs but it keeps booting KDE (and crashing). Moreover, neither my Android installation is working anymore.

What I've already tried:
- changing SD
- booting from a USB pendrive (both USBs)
- unplugging the eMMC (this cause not booting at all, just a black screen)
- switching on and off the tiny switch that should disable the eMMC (it doesn't affect the boot, even if the eMMC should be disabled)
- tried with another daughterboard from another trashed Pinebook that doesn't work anymore, no effect
- tried with another eMMC from the same trashed Pinebook, with the default Linux installation. It boots and loads KDE but I can't use the OS because I don't know the passwords... besides there isn't nothing more than a firefox window... no menus, no internet, nothing else but the firefox window... weird, i can open a terminal but I can't do much because I don't know the sudo or root password. I checked with dmesg if it reads the USBs or the SDs, it detects them but I can't mount them because mount needs sudo

What's happening? why isn't working as it should?
