hello everyone, I have a question, why ubuntu touch by UBports can not install on pine phone ?

Thank you

Hello,

For the past few weeks, I've been trying to theorise a setup for a NAS around a Quartz64 A SBC, and would like to get some feedback!

I'd like to run a 2×4TB hard drive configuration (with data replication), mostly for a Nextcloud home server.
I'm thinking of getting the PCIe to SATA III card, and powering the drives directly from the board with the power cable for dual SATA drives. To have enough power for all this, I'd use the 12v5a power supply.

I was somewhat inspired by this blog post and would like to know if anyone has done anything similar…? I went for another setup for powering the drives, suggested on the Quartz64 matrix channel, because I don't have a PC power supply laying around, so that set up would be a lot more expensive for me.

I'm not yet sure if I'd go with the 4 or 8 GB model for the Quartz64, so I'd appreciate feedback on that too, if you have a Nextcloud server!

Thanks to anyone for their help or input! I haven't bought anything yet, so I'm open to any suggestion on how to improve this setup


PS: I am from the EU; does anyone know how import stuff works? I've never ordered anything from overseas, is there a way I can figure out an estimate of how much import duties I'll have to pay?

Hi all,

Few times the screen stay black when i short pressed power key.

The first situation let thinking about SWAP problem.

It's been at least a week since I've seen any Mobian updates. Just tried again, but there's still nothing.

I searched for a while before finding this information, so I thought I'd post it for others incase they're looking for the same information.

Maemo Leste uses the Hildon menu, to get an application shortcut to show up in the menu you need to move it to

I noticed that the Orange Pi 5 is using the RK3588 and it is benchmarking nicely:

Is there going to be a Pinebook Pro based on this faster chip?

The current RK3399 is only slightly faster than the Raspberry Pi's CPU.

Also, without HDMI output the laptop is less useful than a regular laptop.

Hey there, just thought I'd write a bit about the current state of NixOS on PineTab 2. I've been running my own custom image essentially since day 1, but my personal configs are not very useful to the General User

For this reason, I've built a more "general purpose" config that should help folks get started.

Firstly, my work is based on the wonder work from Nabam on github, and so the first step in getting NixOS working on your PineTab 2 is to download the PineTab 2 image from the releases page. This image boots to a console with a default user and no password. That's our starting point.

If you've played around at all with the PineTab 2, you'll know WiFi doesn't work yet. However you normally get internet on your tablet, you'll want to do that next. You can check whether the network device has been found with the `ip a` command.

After you have internet, download the PineTab 2 flake I've created to the tablet. It should be placed at `/etc/nixos/flake.nix`.

raw file link: https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pinetab2-n.../flake.nix

After you've done this, run the following commands:

I received my Pinetab 2 (ARM version) in early June and the screen worked fine. The screen would go off due to power saving but tapping the screen or keys would bring the screen on again after a bit. However, I was using the Pinetab 2 with the screen working, I left for a few minutes and on return the screen was off. When I tried tapping the screen or keys then the screen didn't come on. Now the screen is always blank/black whatever I try. I've tried the brightness key (Fn+F2) many times, tried rebooting, powering off and then back on again, tried tapping the screen and keys. The keyboard backlight, not the LCD backlight, still works so the keyboard must still be being powered and does work, see later. I've attached the serial dongle and the Pinetab 2 does boot up and systemctl shows the displayer manager, sddm.service - Simple Desktop Display Manager, active. If I type the password on the keyboard and press enter, although there is still nothing on the built-in display, I can see that the user has logged in on the serial console!
Further, I've attached an external monitor via the HDMI port and it displays on external monitor fine.  When I played with removing and then adding back the built-in screen the GUI had lock-ups for a few seconds at a time.
There are error message in `dmesg`:

I have several Pine 1 boards.  In the process of setting Static IP addresses on one of the Pine 1 boards I have managed to brick it.  I have setup two other Pine 1 boards successfully so they book and I can ssh into them.  But in the third Pine 1 I have gotten it into a condition where the board comes up running Ubuntu using Ambian.  At boot a page of output appears in the HDMI console and then the screen goes black and ultimately shows a "No Signal" message.  I tried re-flashing the sd card I am booting from but had the same results.  Is there a way to return the board to the factory condition? Thanks for any help.
