  Sleep and external display - Are there any options?
Posted by: chris88233 - 09-01-2023, 02:43 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (7)

I've been trying lots of options for getting my Pinebook Pro to sleep (and then wake up), as well as to try to get an external display to work. I finally broke my Manjaro install and decided I needed to re-group.

I've tried:

  • Briefly fooled around with the `systemd/sleep.conf` configuration file
  • Tried Armbian, Fedora, and OpenSuSE (all from sdcard)
  • Tow-Boot 2021.something on SPI, then recently the 2022.something version on SPI
  • Wiped my SPI, back to booting using u-boot on the eMMC (as I understand). I then upgraded u-boot via some Manjaro package.
  • Tried a pre-built "Megous" kernel from here: https://github.com/megous/linux although I failed to get it to boot correctly
  • Tried downgrading to the Manjaro 5.15 kernel, which I read elsewhere allowed an external display to work. Surprisingly, this was the change that finally broke my Manjaro install.

My Pinebook was ordered August 2022.


Anything I haven't tried that worked for someone else? Should any of these ideas have worked?

To be clear - I'm not worried about fixing my Manjaro install.

Thank you!


  Mobian boot failed with zstd message after upgrade.
Posted by: Mahgue - 09-01-2023, 11:29 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - No Replies

The Mobian image mobian-pinephone-phosh-12.0.img has been written to the eMMC of a pinephone using the USB mass storage mode of tow-boot (2022.07-006). It is booting an can be connected to a WLAN AP. Using the commands as described in the Wiki PinePhone Updating Instructions the upgrade is successful finished and is requesting a reboot. But the next start keeps hanging with

"zram: Cannot initialise zstd compressing backend"


Doing only apt update, and e.g. install of openssh-server and the updates as provided by the GUI is not causing this problem.


After GUI update there are still 82 packages that can be upgraded, but none of them with an obvious relation to zstd.

Switching algorithm of zram0 to e.g. lz4 (instead of zstd) is not changing the error message at startup.

Any idea ?


  Pine company idea
Posted by: aular - 09-01-2023, 09:48 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (9)

I was reading the website on some stuff and i know that Pine64 as a company is community driven for software development. That gave me an idea so i hope i might be able to help even if they have already thought about it. 

If Pine64 as a company is relient on the community to develop software, and we know that some stuff does need a software update to get stuff to work, i dont know if it has any advantages but could they create a go fund me to get the money needed to hire the people to get the software to where it can be at...like battery, I read somewhere that the battery has a much needed update to get it to work for as long as possible and somebody said somewhere that some other company created a codebase to be able to get a good working battery but since Pine dont have access to that codebase and they rely on the community to develop the code for the battery, thats where the go fund me would be handy.

Just and idea, thanks

  Modem Issues
Posted by: SchizoPinePhone225 - 08-31-2023, 02:19 AM - Forum: Arch Linux on PinePhone - Replies (2)

I am currently locked out of my bank account because Arch Linux BTW
Updated my Phone at some point and now the modem is disabled.

Arch Linux BTW

also while I'm here I just want to put it out there that the screen stops responding touch inputs entirely after a number of hours of being on forcing me to either use a keyboard and mouse or to force a reset.


Weirdly enough I cannot fix my phone through tow boot either.
So many things are going wrong at the moment.

  Is it possible to use Pine-64 board as a Mini PC such as BeeLink?

Is it possible to use one of the Pine64 boards for use as a Arm Linux OS for use as a mini computer to use Ubuntu or Arch as a Linux desktop computer? And will Pine64 ever make a Linux Desktop mini pc version of hardware?


  Problem with updates: Repository 'Debian bookworm' changed its 'non-free component'
Posted by: Anna - 08-30-2023, 06:15 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (7)

Hi guys,

I seem to have a problem with updating Mobian:

Whenever I try to update it, it says:

Code:
All packages are up to date.
N: Repository 'Debian bookworm' changed its 'non-free component' value from 'non-free' to 'non-free non-free-firmware'
N: More information about this can be found online in the Release notes at: https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/arm64/release-notes/ch-information.html#non-free-split

Does anybody know what I have to do in order to change the repository settings (if that's the problem) so that I get updates again?

Best,
A


  SFOS 4.5.0.19 improved call audio and camera
Posted by: defactofactotum - 08-30-2023, 01:59 AM - Forum: SailfishOS on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Recent developments: call audio dramatically improved, perfectly acceptable quality.

Shutter camera is back working and work has started on getting the front camera too. At present the viewfinder only works correctly in landscape mode, so turn off orientation lock.

What's not working: wifi sometimes fails to reconnect after a period of sleep; the top bar icon remains lit but under developer tools you can see the IP address is no longer listed. Just toggle the top bar icon off and on again.

The flash-it script installs sfos 4.5.0.19 download here https://github.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevi...lash-it.sh (click download icon).

You need tow-boot installed on emmc, if you don't already have it read this: https://tow-boot.org/devices/pine64-pinephoneA64.html Go to releases and find the file for PP or PPP under Assets. It's a tar.xz so you need to extract the image first.
