I have a couple of PINE A64(+) boards and I use the hdmi audio, which works fine. I have script with a pactl command to set the sink automatically and it then works.

I how have several LTS boards, and I can not get any audio/sound (headphone jack or HDMI) to work on the LTS/SOPINE linux version.
I am running Armbian 23.02.2 Buster with Lumix 5.15.93-sunxi64. I run apt update -> upgrade to keep up to date.

I have tried the html sound coming out of my monitor, it doesn't work, but I have ready that its not support in the LTS release.
I have also tried the headphone jack. I test using play and aplay. They both look like they are generating audio, but nothing comes out.

When I try to run pactl, I get:
# pactl info
Connection failure: Connection refused
pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused


My DTC listing for sound is:
/dts-v1/;

(sorry all the indenting is lost).\\I can post a screen shot of running alsamixer if that helps.

Any recommendations/things to test will be appreciated.

Hi.  How many months did you have to wait to get your pineTime? I am in my second month of waiting. I have tried writing to sales (3 times) and I tried writing to @pine64@fosstodon.org (2 times) but have never had a reply. 

When I ordered on June 24, I got a notice that the device had shipped on June 27. But something went wrong. I put in a support ticket and was told that there was a problem getting the device out of China and that I would hear about a new shipment soon, but I never heard back. When I went back to support, they fobbed me off to sales. When sales never replied, I tried going back to support, but they have stopped responding, too. Should I try and get my money back from my credit card company? Did pine64 go out of business?

Thanks,

Killick

Anybody else having issue that battery seems to run down rapidly, and the "charging. Time to full charge" estimates are really long?

I have a dell tablet with the same plug in charging port. The wall plug in charging chord charges my tablet in about 30 minutes. When I plug the same chord into the pinetab I get a "time to fully charged" estimate of 7 hours or more! My battery is listed as "battery_rk817" I believe.

Anyone else noticed this?

How or where can I remove all the modem firmware from the phone. I know about the exploit in the firmware but that is not my main concern right now. My main goal at this time is to remove all traces and files of the qucell modem and just leave the modem empty. I have other plans for that later. If that modem firmware has dependency issues is there a way to fill those files with empty slots with empty files and garbage to hold up the phone from breaking. Thanks

Hi,

What screws are recommended for assembling the SOQuartz BLADE 3D Print 1U full width server rack?

Does anyone have any screw size/type recommendations for use with the 3D-printable SOQuartz BLADE 1U Rack?

After using towboot & fedora with an nvme drive with dissapointing battery life and no suspend i have decided to have a go at a vanilla manjaro gnome image with u-boot.

I have got Suspend working well, and hibernate also working consistnent sadly without being able to recover the wireless adapter after resuming.

I have worked out from dmesg and journalctl what are normal errors, and have rmmod -f and re added the brcmfmac modules. Sadly though no success.

The relevent error from the device in dmesg and journalctl is 

Good morning,

After months of not looking about the phone I am try to bring it back to life. Hopefully someone has a good idea.

After the last update (KDE Plasma 5.25.80, last year?) the phone is bricked. Seems the UID/display driver is corrupted, plasma was squeezing the entire UID into the ~15-20% of the (top) display. With that nearly impossible to use the phone anymore.

But that is not my topic currently, not possible to start/boot the phone anymore. PPP refused charging the battery, I am using a 2.4A charger. Nothing happened after couple of days. Bought now an external battery charger from Pine, so the battery is fully charged.

Can not start/boot (without or with a SD card), nothing happened. But seems the phone is not completely dead, I can see a white mouse pointer (on a black display) after maybe 10 seconds after I presses the "On"-button. Can move the pointer around but not more.

Any ideas? Many thanks to the community ;-)

I just received my pinephone pro and have been in the process of trying to learn and understand the device. I have hit a brick wall as there seems to be no help out there that matches up with the current state of the phone.

1. Images - this took a minute to figure out, which I should never have to do when dealing with a COMPUTER device. It's a computer yeah? So the instructions on the main site, github, all forums are all incorrect in some way. They are either outdated, contain info that is no longer relevant, or just wrong. I went through and have tried:
    kali - did not work very well and crashed completely when installing kali-linux-nethunter. Gave up
    Mobian - Very wonky. No desktop, problems installing, Oh no you can't use apt at all. There is no software available
    Ubuntu touch which everyone talked abaout and the pinephone advertises is not for the pinephone pro even though the main site says it and points to the wrong download

I stopped playing after trying to install glodroid which does not work. So I went for just the Manjaro distros---
   None of them work. They have no pgp keys which you need to do anything. The username and password are wrong. You cannot use pacman as there are no keys, you cant make them, and it's a failure.

Everyone mentions the "set up" the initial boot where EVERY computer made by man asks you questions to set up the computer but for some reason not ONE 1 of the distros has any setup. So if there is no set up and the password and user are wrong and you can't create keys then what the heck can I do?

What I would really like is for a developer from pinephone to come on here and tell me EXACTLY what is available.
1.    I want a distro that is like ANY DISTRO you get on earth. Install then set up. Not a crappy image burned off some burned out devs raggedy tablet. After all this time how can there not be a stable distro? No set up? How? I paid 400 dollars. Nothing on this phone works including the phone.
2.Instructions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know that are current? That know that the phone now have the jump and the whatever else so its not telling me 50 instructions that are not needed or don't work.

What from linux can I use? apt, python, guake, anything? I don't know because none of the commands work. They are all missing something. Is there anyone or any place with any integrity and honesty who can tell me exactly where this phone is? So far it just seems way lower on the totem than a rapberry pi. It doesn't even come close to the latte panda, but what you should be most embarrassed about is that it's not even better than an udoo or a khadas

I don't expect any answers. I have a latte panda and an udoo so I know how the euro folk support devices. I still had to get that off my chest. It's a terrible product.
