Does anyone have instructions on how to install the latest Endeavour OS Cassini on the Pbpro. It looks like it's officially supported now.

Hello,

I've been playing with Arch (Phosh) on the Pro for a while now, and kind of like it.

Recently (past week or two) when I try to run "sudo pacman -Syyu" I get a 404 error from mirror.archlinuxarm.org

Anybody have any idea what's going on here?

Thanks

My installation guide starting from a messed up eMMC with a non responsive screen and ending with Debian MATE (and Xfce). The serial cable part can be skipped I think because briefly disabling the eMMC ought to suffice but I'm writing it down anyway.


Have a serial cable so you can use another computer to interact to the PineBook Pro (PBP).


Remove the PBP bottom cover. Make sure you keep the tiny screws in a safe location because they can easily get lost. Make sure the tiny nearly invisible audio/serial lever is switched to serial. Also switch the eMMC using the eMMC lever. The boot loader sucks and will keep booting from the eMMC regardless whether it's broken or not because of the preset boot order. Leave the PBP open because it's pointless to already close it.



Connect the serial cable by plugging the USB part in the PC and the audio jack in the PBP.



Install "minicom" on the PC and fire it up with the following command:

• this way the eMMC can be chosen because the installation installer might choose microSD to install to which will fail.
  

• Choose MMC/SD card #3 (of 62,5 GB)
  

• Finish partitioning and write changes to disk
  
• Write the changes to disks? -> Yes
  

I'm new, point me to the proper thread/forum if this is the wrong place.

I have the Pine64 Beta, running Plasma.  It worked fine up until about 3 days ago when it stopped receiving inbound sms.  I have:

1.  Cleared messages from terminal;
2.  Checked for messages in terminal (none show);
3.  Reflashed 3/11/22 factory image; and
4.  Flashed the most recent Plasma distro.

Nothing.  Outbound sms works and the phone works.

Does anyone know what is going on and how to fix?

Greetings, my first post hire
So i'm planning to connect Bosch tool battery (18V) to Pinecill v2.
The adapter for battery comes with option to use fuse, but ones that are used in cars.
Question is what fuse would be the best one to put hire; like what voltage, amperage? I also heard of quality ceramic fuses...
I'm guessing using one that would brake if 24V or 3.8A is reached (just a guess )

Another question is there to be bought multi-core silicone cable (2 cores) that is same quality as one that Pine64 USB cables are made of,
so temperature heat resistance up to 350°C and super smooth feeling.

Hi,
I'm enjoying the latest Sailfish on my PinePhone. Has anyone managed to get the top row of keyboard fn-keypresses working? i.e. the keys one needs to get common special characters like hyphen, underscore, pipe, backslash, equals, £ and so forth. What does one need to do to make them work?
Any help or advice much appreciated.
Ian
PS Would also be interested in hearing if the camera can be made to work, but am assuming this is still not possible ...

Hey Everyone! 

I hope you are well. I have a Pinephone Pro that I have been using for a daily driver the last few months. It has been running Manjaro Phosh stable edition. There was a massive update a few days ago though and since then the phone says that the battery is empty and shuts down when the battery indicator reaches about 70%. I tried reinstalling the Manjaro Phosh and using different batteries but nothing seems to work. 

I haven't been able to find any mention of others having this issue but it is still fairly new to me. Not sure if I am missing some sort of config either. Has anyone come across this before? Any ideas how one might fix it? 

I appreciate all help in this matter. 

Regards,

Was about to pull the trigger on the $149usd PP, but found it out of stock. I searched but didn't find any more info on when-or-if there's restocking.

Does anyone have any update?

Many thanks.

The pinouts are very similar (if not the same) but before I break either the HAT in question or the board, is it possible to use them together?

I have the Google/AIY Voicehat (Version 1) which I would like to combine with a better SBC than my RPi3B for mycroft development.

Is this possible? 

thanks!

I have run into a simple yet gamebreaking issue. My virtual keyboard does not recognise the ctrl+x input that would allow me to save changes in files. or rather.
I've run into the issue of the screen shutting off after a half second when not on charge (and only when not charging), but have been trying to manually change the screen settings in powermanagementprofilesrc file. but because I cannot save my changes, my phone is unusable when not on charge. what could I possibly be doing wrong?
I am running kde plasma, for reference. and let it be known I am a recent convert from windows and ios, and have minimal knowledge of linux.
