  Install or test EndeavourOs distribution
Posted by: genobraker - 06-21-2023, 03:54 PM - Forum: PineTab Software - Replies (3)

Hi! anyone has tried use EndeavourOs Arm on PineTab2?

I've tried the steps mentioned here , but nothing has worked, microsd doesn't boot, even I've used this method for Pine64, but I couldn't to start EndeavourOs.
I understand just exist only one official image and it needs a image in format img. Is there other way to boot or test EndevoursOs? What do I miss?

Thanks.


  Change console resolution (Armbian/bookworm)
Posted by: jcgraybill - 06-21-2023, 02:00 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook - Replies (1)

Hi - I'm running the Armbian "bookworm" cli-only Linux image on my Pinebook, which overall works great, except that text is extremely small on the 1080p LCD display. I've seen other folks with lower-resolution modes for console, but can't figure out how to change it.

I've tried updating disp_mode in /boot/armbianEnv.txt to no avail. No setting I've tried for this has had any effect. I've had slightly more luck adding extraargs=video=1280x720p@60 to this file: the screen goes black during boot, so at least something is getting passed to the kernel, although it seems to be an invalid resolution, and I haven't been able to find a valid one through trial and error.

Does anybody have any ideas? It looks like there are configuration utilities available if you add a desktop environment, but I'd really rather avoid that if possible.

Thank you!


  Phone Attitude(Device orientation)
Posted by: lurkadillian - 06-20-2023, 06:02 PM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (2)

I am having trouble finding any sources online about how to obtain the device orientation. If anybody has any knowledge about any libraries or maybe some global value that tracks this.

I am trying to modify this compass app https://gitlab.com/lgtrombetta/compass/ to allow compass to function when in any orientation(not just with your phone flat).


  Manjaro as shipped & camera?
Posted by: hambonius - 06-20-2023, 01:15 PM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (1)

Hi,

Just got my PPP and am playing with it out of the box. (As yet with no SIM card installed.)

With the original manjaro version, as shipped, should I be able to demonstrate that the cameras work? (I read of endemic PPP camera bugs.)

The MegaPixel app doesn't seem to find a camera and I d/l an app called 'cameracntrls' which reports "0 Camera found".

Am I missing something fundamental or expecting too much?

Thanks,

Brian H.


Thumbs Up Trackpoint
Posted by: petersloth - 06-20-2023, 03:08 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (2)

Having an integrated trackpoint would simply be a dream come true.



If you'd put a Trackpoint on the Pinebook Pro, the Lenovo Thinkpad would be history !

One year ago we started porting Apache NuttX RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) to PinePhone. Let’s look back and talk about…

1. The Features that we’ve implemented
2. Our Plans for the future
3. Why we might move to a RISC-V Tablet!

  Switch to xfce?
Posted by: jakfish - 06-19-2023, 01:22 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (5)

Running Manjaro Phosh Beta ver 33 on PP Beta, I'd like to install and switch to an xfce desktop. Would that be a simple pacman install of all things xfce, or would I need to find a non-Phosh OS and start from there?

Thanks.


  The Phosh Web app vs Angelfish
Posted by: mburns - 06-19-2023, 11:57 AM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - No Replies

The Phosh Web app has a memory leak when playing YouTube video, bogging down functionality after a while. Closing the app is necessary to recover usability of Phosh. But the Angelfish app on Plasma no longer has this problem.


  The Megapixel app regression
Posted by: mburns - 06-19-2023, 11:53 AM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - No Replies

The Megapixel app has lost its auto exposure ability. It is now necessary to adjust exposure using the shutter speed or iso controls.

My modifications to the Megapixel configuration files, published here before, are still needed.
