So my pinetab2 doesn't seem to have a working screen in some capacity. I've gone through the https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineTab2#In...structions I used disks to make a sd card that had the factory default danctnix on it and when I plugged it into uart and press power a little under 2 seconds I get using minicom

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or what this means. Initial googling of the above text doesn't seem to help. I'm not sure if I need to add a boot flag to any partitions. I may try something other than dancnix on the sd card and see if that gives the same or different results. I'm also using xubuntu and raspbian to run the minicom.

So after the recent upgrades I notice that the screen goes black and there's the blue led blinking as where there is a notification, the notification is that the system will suspend soon, and it keeps bringing the lockscreen every few minutes without going into suspend....and it's eating my battery fast. Anyone else noticed that?

Hi Folks,

I am looking for help/service on my 3 Pine Phones. Can these be remotely serviced and updated? Does anyone provide this service? Basically, I would like to pay someone to update and service my Pine Phones. Looking for some superstars. 


Thank you,

Jeff

Hi,

is there a way to reset the PineTab V without having to power it down? That would be quite convenient for OS development – I'm currently porting the xv6 OS to the JH7110 (also for the VisionFive 2 and the Star64, which are easier to reset...).

Does the Pinebook Pro have anything like a TPM or other component offering persistent storage that can be locked from writes until resetting the platform? Chromebooks use this feature of TPM NVRAM to store anti-rollback counters.

Hi,

I own a Pine-phone Pro handset. I have concluded that the firmware packages I have tried on it so far, do not bring it up to day to day usable status. I bought it in the knowledge that its still on the bleeding edge, and some time will be needed to fully develop all functions. It rankles however, to see it still in the box and my old phone still in my pocket..  

Any recommendations on best current firmware, to expect to be able to reliably use the hardware at least for phone, text and camera functions?

Thanks,

Is it possible to encrypt the entire drive? I am assuming that ecryptfs will work so I can encrypt my home directory, but would feel safer if I can encrypt everything to stop data leaking through /tmp etc.

Alternatively, any tips on how to ameliorate the risks with just /home/[me] encrypted? I thought of putting swap in zram (which i do on my desktop) anyway which solves one problem.

I have lost a tablet before... it is a risk that bothers me.

Hello, running trixie here and for a few weeks I have seen those 4 packages held back when running upgrades:
  mobian-base mobian-phone-base mobian-phosh-base mobian-phosh-phone
Is it safe to install them? Full-upgrade usually brake things on testing lol
Thanks in advance.

Just see it would brake something around audiopulse and pipeware, right?
