| Has someone tried USB-C smartphone game pad? |

Has some played around with smartphone-specific USB-C gamepads? I don't mean classical wired PC/Game console controller (e.g.: anything my Logitech). I mean the one specifically built for smartphone, where you dock the phone inside and the controller wraps around, reminiscent of Nintendo Switch's joycons (e.g.: Gamesir, .
The reason I am asking is that the one I've tried is a bit more complex that your garden variety PC gamepad.
They usually show up as two different USB HID device: A game pad and a touchscreen, and use an Android app in order to map inputs and gestures to the various buttons (this makes it possible to support games that only work with on-screen taps and swipes and don't support a controller) - (e.g.: the one I've bought by default maps one of the analog sticks as screen swipe).
So did someone try such gamepad and find a good way to map them on Linux?

Step one: If you don't have alsamixer installed do so with the following command:
Code: sudo pacman -S alsa-utils
Step two: Open alsamixer in the terminal with the following commmand:
Step three: Press the f6 key, press the down arrow until the default device PineTab is highlighted and press enter
Step four: press the right arrow key until speaker is highlighted. Then press the M key to mute.
Experimentally, this doesn't seem to persist between reboots, so you don't have to undo it unless you want to use the speakers again without rebooting. Just repeat the steps, as the M key toggles the mute status.
Also, this post was made on my PineTab 2. Assuming my cat doesn't unplug my wifi dongle...

| 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.

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

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 ?
