FYI:  According to this page KDE Bugs Org this error you get when opening Discover is fixed in KDE Plasma Version 5.27.6.  My Pinetab2 is currently on 5.27.5.  Looking forward to 5.27.6

I took 2 updates (via Discover) yesterday (June 16.)  Now my log in screen is correctly in landscape mode, but after logging in, there is no Plasma desktop.  There is just a black screen with the mouse cursor. 

I can move the mouse cursor around.
Ctrl + Alt + F1 takes me back to the log in screen but this time the log in screen is vertical.  The dots are in  the password box, but I can't re-enter a password there.
Ctrl +Alt + F2 appears to be the blank screen where I logged in.
Ctrl + Alt + F3 brings up a terminal where I can log in.

I am surprised at the F1 F2 terminal behavior.  I am used to F1 being the main one.

Any ideas on how I can recover?

I just ordered a Pinephone Pro. Is there a post covering starting instructions?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Any idea why the software "discover" app shows "loading..." on the greyed out button for the Steam launcher?

Thanks,

I have a NAS sporting a minidlna server here. In most devices, the server shows up in KODI or VLC to select mediafiles from. Not so in PineTab2. In KODI I normally switch on UpnP services in order to see the server at all, but even doing so in the PineTab2 isn't working. I suppose some piece of software wasn't ported yet in order to have UpnP service. Can anybody tell me which one I should try to get there?

my Manjaro KDE Plasma Mobile works well, but recently I discovered the address book does not show any contacts at all. In accounts, only my NextCloud account is present and for many months the contacts were synced quite well (many duplicates). NextCloud desktop is installed too and it works. Is there a way to re install the accounts functionality, or is a compete re flash the way to go?

While China is technically a "developed" country now, it still gets developing nation status with the International Postal Union which means small & light weight packages can be sent for next to nothing.

Yet, we seem to pay an exorbitant amount of shipping cost for shipping items from the Pine64.com web site compared to what ePacket cost.

I have even asked some makers online saying/showing they are purchasing some relevant items and I ask, "Why no 'x' from Pine64."

Answer: "shipping!"

Had a seal failure on my Pinetime.
Backlight not turning off when the display blanks and flickering when display is on and later some scanlines not drawing correctly.
Cleaning the PCB and screen connector hasn't fixed the problem and the display has started showing dimmer blotches so I figure there must be moisture on the display side.
So is it possible to non-destructively remove the LCD from the front case and if so how?

Hello ! I received my pinetab a few days ago, after some testing  and installing some apps, the battery indicator
stays at 100 %. In settings shows discharging but is after an hour still at 100 %.
Would be great if someone has an idea how to solve this

Hello! I'm having a bug with the PineTab2 virtual keyboard (Maliit) with two different Flathub packages (ungoogled-chromium and Xlog).

When I press a number with the virtual keyboard, the "shift" version of that number is actually entered into the UI. For example, when pressing 3, # is entered, or 4, $ is entered, etc.

I've left the state of the PineTab2 largely unchanged since receiving it — no major OS changes, etc.

Is anyone else able to reproduce this? If yes, where's the correct place to report this bug? Thanks!
