I am trying to install a distribution on my Quartz64 Model-A 8GB, but can't seem to make any work properly. I've been used to armbian for quite a long time, so I wanted to use a headless armbian image. After trying images that I built myself, and images build by balbes150, everything always works correctly but the system does only see 2GB of RAM (using free). However, whenever I install Manjaro instead, free actually shows me the 8GB of RAM (which suggests that it is not a hardware issue). I also tried to install DietPi, but the system would always start in read only mode...

Has anyone run into this issue ?

MMS-Monitor is something I developed to help deal with Verizon's use of 2 APNs and our software's current inability to deal with that. It allows you to have your phone configured for internet use by default but get a notification when a MMS message is pending.   It is not carrier-specific.  It was targeted at mobian but may work on any platform using mmsd-tng and can probably be adapted for others.

The latest version can be dowloaded as a zip file. This is my first Gitlab project and my first time publishing code like this so I hope I've done everything right.

Constructive feedback will be appreciated!

Hello Friends,

I can't add a micro SD card to my pine phone. I've had my pine phone for 2 years and I've just flashed Manjaro Phosh on it and it all works well. Except that I cannot add the SD card to give music via Lollipop. I've tried using both Windows and Ubuntu computers to format the disc, but when I put it in the pine phone it doesn't boot. What am I doing wrong, please?

I had a fully functional keyboard under Arch/Monjaro w/
linux-image-5.17-sunxi64 using Megi's tutorial, but not having any luck w/
Megi's Debian/Mobian tut using the userland driver and vmlinuz-6.1-sunx64.

The userland driver doesn't seem to do anything, and loading the i2c-dev
module kills the native keyboard support. 'ppkb-i2c-inputd.service' shows up
in '>systemctl status' as enabled, but fails cause it 'can't find /dev/i2c-2
device', wh/ looks like a clue, but I read that those are loaded at boot time
and manually creating one doesn't seem like the solution.

I've also tried 'https://wiki.mobian.org/ppaccessories'.

I read that a fully functional keyboard w/ Debian/Mobian has been achieved
(year+ old reports and maybe a different kernel), yet it eludes me.

Soliciting suggestions/clues.

Hello Friends,

I can't install Manjaro. I loaded the SD card with jumpdrive and then flashed the Manjaro image using Balena Etcher. When it's finished it dosn't get beyond an initial screen of text. What am I doing wrong?

Seems my accelerometer has died. Has anyone successfully replaced this part that cares to share?

Pine has a datasheet available for the BMA421 (although some post indicate this part may have been changed, my PT is from 10/21)
https://files.pine64.org/doc/datasheet/p...-FL000.pdf

AliExpress seems to have them available for $6.50 shipped, and I'm willing to attempt a repair
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/325680381...IDTyuGcxfT

Although its tempting to just replace the whole unit for under $40 shipped, I'd be more interested in that route if I knew when it failed again I could replace that part.

Hi,

I installed PostmarketOS Phosh on eMMC with disk encryption, it worked fine for a month, then it suddenly turned off and says incorrect passphrase when I input it (I made sure I typed the correct passphrase). I charged the phone for a couple hours but still doesn't let me in. What's happening? What went wrong?

Hello

I've just run

Been banging my head against a wall for like a week now trying to install different things like Armbian, PostMarketOS, and DietPi.

None of them boot. I've left my Pinebook Pro on for like 40 minutes watching the light flash.

Following the generic instructions of burning an img with Etcher and powering on with the SD card leads nowhere.

Tried two different MicroSD cards.

Tried using DD.

Nothing yet. Does anyone know what my next steps should be.

I feel like I'm missing something that everyone knows but somehow I can't find in any of the wiki pages, youtube videos, or forum posts.
