  Udating the firm,ware? Potential problems?
Posted by: KNERD - 06-10-2023, 05:11 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (2)

So I am reading over on UBPorts about updating the firmware which results in a different boot loader. Going from Uboot to Tow-boot

Is this a problem for any other distros out there for the PinePhone?


  Pinetab2 without Wifi a comfort extra?

It seems to me that you did not understand or fully comprehend what “the OS is still in Beta” meant; it is in the testing phase.

WiFi, cameras and blue-tooth are certainly not the most basic core capabilities of an OS as you stated, they are “comfort” extras. A simple example of core capabilities would be a working input and output device.

I have never seen anyone say/state/claim that the PineTab 2 is a superior piece of hardware, it’s in Beta testing for god’s sake, quit trolling.

My comprehension skills are more than adequate, I assure you.  I am also well cognizant of the bullying that goes on in Forums, particularly where the worst of it comes from people who think they are above all the rest when they don't like what others post.  So, believe me, having been involved with LInux since the late 90's and having also helped test beta versions of software before, I knew exactly what "in Beta" meant.  However, my purchase decision was based on what was posted on the website and the Pinestore, and only the camera was mentioned when core capabilities not yet functioning were disclosed.  No others were, yet vaguely implied to be of no significance, like the cameras.  

Critical to making sales, it's suspiciously clear to me that WiFi was not mentioned, but instead only buried in other pages offsite and therefore not linked to the e-commerce page.  Moreover, someone else posting a total absurdity in this thread has said that the pad and keyboard was never offered to the public, but only to developers....but not enforced.  The obvious result of this is that it was most likely deliberately offered to the public with the intent to generate revenue because the first Pinetab was a flop.  And therefore it was reasonable to assume developers would likely not be rushing to the cash register this time.  But more importantly, how could anyone accurately define a market segment of developers or even forecast sales that would ensure adequate revenue to support manufacturing a new tablet when obviously Pinetab could not develop the OS themselves to run it?  So clearly, Pine would have needed gullible schmucks like me to fund "their marketing plan", words I use very loosely.    You could also observe that historically, that all products are offered to the general public by Pine as a routine sales policy. But the suggestion that WiFi is a "comfort extra" is laughable.  A tablet without a working wifi is useless.  A tablet was created for the sole purpose of providing access to the internet in a compact conveniently sized device.  Without WiFi, iIt's worse than useless, it's a waste of money.  Delivering a product to the public in this state is simply wrong.  And to omit any mention of wifi lacking in the OS at the point when you offer the product for sale, is blatant obfuscation and a failure to fully disclose the risks to the buyer up front.  Compared to the alternative Risk version, where you drive off any interest in it at all, the Arm version was by contrast depicted as a product for anyone wanting to test it out.  But to do that, it has to work.  It didn't.  It doesn't and Pine would have to have known that.


  Trying to install Mousai
Posted by: AndyM - 06-10-2023, 08:25 AM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - No Replies

I have most of the dependencies sorted but have now come across 

Code:
Run-time dependency libpulse-mainloop-glib found: NO

There is no libpulse-mainloop-glib development package as far as I can see but there is 
Code:
libpulse-mainloop-glib-9999_git20220621-r0 - Pulseaudio mainloop-glib library

It may be the package I need, but I cannot seem to be able to install it. Can anyone help me please?

The answer was simple - install pulseaudio-dev

  Article: NuttX RTOS for PinePhone: Feature Phone UI in LVGL, Zig and WebAssembly
Posted by: lupyuen - 06-09-2023, 06:39 PM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (64)

We have created an LVGL App that runs in a Web Browser and on PinePhone…

1. We compiled LVGL Library from C to WebAssembly with Zig Compiler

2. We wrote our LVGL App in the Zig Programming Language (instead of C)

3. Exact same code runs in a Web Browser and on PinePhone (with Apache NuttX RTOS)

4. Which is super helpful for prototyping LVGL Apps

Check out the details in this article:

“NuttX RTOS for PinePhone: Feature Phone UI in LVGL, Zig and WebAssembly”

How it looks on PinePhone:

And how we tested in a Web Browser with WebAssembly:

  Pinetab2 keyboard is not working

Hi there, I received my pinetab2 this week. It seems that the provided keyboard is not working for me, while it is detected (Plasma interface resizes itself when connecting). Any idea how I could diagnose this ?


  Manjaro Phosh - Tiny Blue Indicator Light - Blinking
Posted by: ArchiMark - 06-09-2023, 12:57 PM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (2)

Hi,

Running Manjaro Phosh on my PPP.

There's a little very tiny blue indicator light in the upper left corner of the display. It is blinking.

What does this mean?

And is there a way to have it stop blinking?

Very annoying.

Thank you for any input!

  PineTab 2 Dead Screen
Posted by: Kramey - 06-09-2023, 11:41 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - Replies (16)

I received my PineTab 2 a few days ago and tried to boot it up. Nothing on the screen and no sound but I did see the backlight on the keyboard come on a few seconds after turning on power. Tried booting from freshly burned SD card with the same results.

Finally connected the PineTab to my laptop using the debug adapter it came with and was able to see that it actually had booted up. I could log in through a terminal app and poke around the file system. But the screen stayed dark and there was no sound.

I've submitted a ticket on the problem but it's been three days and no response.

Has anyone else had similar problems? Were you able to resolve them?

Thanks.
