  Manjaro - which libdrm?
Posted by: hacknix - 04-01-2023, 03:21 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

Hi all

I can't seem to work out, is it required/recommended to install the package "libdrm-pinebookpro" or is the functionality/fixes that this provides now included in the mainline libdrm package?

I have been having some issue with OpenGL objects within a programme (Mixxx DJ software Waveform display) causing some problems.

Thanks in advance.

  changing from bullseye to bookworm to install mmsd-tng
Posted by: jyoung - 03-31-2023, 08:29 PM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (8)

I'm trying to change from the bullseye repository to the bookworm, and I'm getting an error about the repository being unsigned. In /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mobian.list

I changed

deb http://repo.mobian-project.org/ bullseye main non-free

to

deb http://repo.mobian-project.org/ bookworm main non-free

but now when I run

apt update

I get

Does anyone know what might cause this?


  PINE A64-LTS v2 - Can't get WiFi to work
Posted by: Voidwatcher - 03-31-2023, 12:04 AM - Forum: P64-LTS / SOPINE Hardware, Accessories and POT - Replies (2)

My WiFi/Bluetooth daughter board just arrived today for my PINE A64-LTS V2 that I've been integrating into a project.  I've been using the SBC with a wired Ethernet connection for weeks (although that had its own challenges, I eventually had to limit it to 10/100) and finally now I'm trying to get wireless going.  Unfortunately, I cannot get it to work after several hours of troubleshooting and I'm hoping someone out there has some ideas.

First, the basics... Issuing uname -a produces this:

Code:
Linux pine64so 5.15.80-sunxi64 #22.11.1 SMP Wed Nov 30 11:23:00 UTC 2022 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

This is the only distro image that I was able to find that works on this specific hardware.  I guess the V2 board is based off of the SOPINE modules. The one I downloaded is "Armbian_22.11.1_Pine64so_jammy_current_5.15.80.img.xz" image up on https://armbian.hosthatch.com/archive/pine64so/archive/

ifconfig just shows eth0 and lo.  
iwconfig shows this:

Code:
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11  ESSID:off/any 
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=12 dBm  
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off


Snippit from /etc/network/interfaces:
Code:
# Interface wlan0
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp


Contents of wpa_supplicant.conf, although I originally started out with a more complex version, but I whittled it down to just this, as this bare minimum should still work I think.  (Please correct me on this.)
Code:
network={
    ssid="My home network SSID"
    psk="XXXXXXXXXXX"
}


If I issue the ifup wlan0 command it shows me that the daemon doesn't start:

Code:
wpa_supplicant: /sbin/wpa_supplicant daemon failed to start
run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wpasupplicant exited with return code 1
ifup: failed to bring up wlan0


I'm also using a GUI desktop environment and WiFi doesn't show up in Network Manager because of my manual definition in the interfaces file.

If I remove the wlan0 definition from interfaces, then WiFi does show up in the Network Manager, however even though it lets me turn off and on the WiFi connection itself, it doesn't enumerate any wireless networks.  The list is just blank.

I've tried both my 5G network and my 2.44Ghz network; neither work when specifying them manually in the wpa_supplicant.conf file.

So it seems to me that the wpa_supplicant daemon failing to start must be the direction I need to be troubleshooting, but at this point I'm out of ideas on how to go further.

Can anyone help?


  DC plug length
Posted by: pehjota - 03-30-2023, 11:01 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - Replies (3)

Hello,

Can anyone please tell me the length of the DC plug? I know the outer diameter is 5.5 mm and the inner diameter is 2.1 mm, but I can't find the length (or even a part number for J11 that I could check, since there's no BOM published).


  still monthly updates?
Posted by: Jeniffer - 03-30-2023, 05:19 AM - Forum: General - No Replies

I'm used to seeing an update around the 15th of each month on the Pine64 blog. Are those not happening anymore?

Are the updates somewhere else?


  screenshotting disabled
Posted by: kellrobinson - 03-29-2023, 02:48 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

I have the ANSI pbp from the 2023 batch.  Updated the keyboard/trackpad firmware from here https://github.com/dragan-simic/pinebook...rd-updater.  Now I can't take screenshots.  It's not just that the F9 "Print Screen" key is unresponsive.  The actual function of taking screenshots seems to be completely disabled on this computer. 
And here's why I'm saying that: 
When F9 Print Screen failed, I thought, no problem:   I'll just use a dedicated screenshot app like flameshot, or use gimp, so I tried those workarounds but everything failed.  Black screen or error messages on all attempts, using multiple apps.  Gimp returned an error that said "all possible methods failed," or words to that effect.
I'm a heavy user of screenshots to reproduce financial charts generated on my local machine, for publishing.  If I can find a fix, this Pinebook Pro will become my daily driver.  Ideas?


  Pinenook pro use ability
Posted by: Lgilesgriffin - 03-28-2023, 01:57 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (6)

My bad luck finally caught up with my computer’s, I’m down to a iPhone that I have not been able to master font.

My Dell laptop has bounce off the floor one too many times, Ubuntu doesn’t want to wake up, and I don’t have funds for a 6” tablet, so this Pinebook Pro looks real interesting, and would do all the messaging and browsing without any hassle with a small phone at double 7 I need a good terminal 

Any comments appreciated

  Tow-boot on Sopine module?
Posted by: poVoq - 03-28-2023, 07:42 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64-LTS / SOPINE - Replies (2)

Officially Tow-boot only supports the PineA64-LTS: https://tow-boot.org/devices/pine64-pineA64LTS.html

But it appears that most software works for both PineA64-LTS and the Sopine modules.

Anyone tried flashing Tow-boot on the SPI?

I have the older Sopine modules that still include SPIs... apparently newer revisions removed the SPI?


Question How many SPI ports/buses are broken out/available on SOQUARTZ?
Posted by: gogerriko - 03-27-2023, 08:14 AM - Forum: General - Replies (5)

I am interested in the SOQUARTZ compute module, but before I commit to getting one I am trying to work out how many SPI ports/buses are available for my potential application as I need 2 (for technical reasons using 1 SPI bus with multiple CS pins is not possible).

As far as I can tell from the schematic only SPI3 is available on CN1 100 pin connector.

I could see any obvious SPI options on CN2.

As I do not need to use the WiFi / BLE module is there any way I can access SPI1 / SPI2

I look forward to any feedback.

Thanks.


  How can I share a network folder to a Windows or Linux PC
Posted by: Peter Gamma - 03-27-2023, 02:08 AM - Forum: PinePhone Accessories - Replies (6)

wibble commented in one of his answers to my questions in this forum, that it is easier to have a network between a Linux PC and a PinePhone than a network with a PinePhone and a Winows PC. In Ubuntu, it is easily possible to share a network folder with another PC. How can I share a PinePhone folder as a network shared folder for instance to a Ubuntu PC over for instance the USB-c dock connected over ethernet cable to the Ubuntu PC?
