chatty 0.7.0~rc0-1 made its way into bookworm about Oct 26 but is not usable - the bottom of the window hides behind the keyboard so you can't see what you're typing, nor the message to which you are responding. If that matters to you, hold-off on upgrades until that is resolved (or do an apt-mark hold chatty beforehand?)

I wanted to post the steps to installing Tow-Boot on the SPI.
Sorry if this is long and drawn out but I am writing this to help anyone new to Linux. With Manjaro being preinstalled from the factory it was best to write this using Manjaro specifics. I tried following the guides on the Tow-Boot website, Pine Wiki and the Manjaro Wiki but was unsuccessful. I would suggest reading these to conceptually understand what you are doing if you are new. You will need mtd-utils installed first for this to work. Now I would download the release you need and extract the file into a folder. I was not successful in getting the spi.installer.img to boot after flashing to a SD card to install using the directions provided in the reference section.
I used the method below under coding and it only took me about 3 minutes to accomplish this task.
I did all this on Manjaro but to my understanding other distributions should work the same.

https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Manja...ptional.29
Required Dependencies:
mtd-utils - https://software.manjaro.org/package/mtd-utils
Download Tow-Boot file:
https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases
(I installed pine64-pinebookPro-2021.10-005.tar.xz - https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/rel...005.tar.xz)
Code:
Step 1. I opened the terminal and "cd"d my way into the correct location to find the file "Tow-Boot.spi.bin" or depending on the distribution you are using you can also find the file, right click and got to "Open Terminal Here" - For this install it was located under the binaries folder.
Step 2.
Code: sudo flashcp Tow-Boot.spi.bin /dev/mtd0
Step 3: Restart (be ready to hit the "Esc" button)
I hope this helps others.

| Cannot Boot From SD Card |

I recently got a PineBook Pro and wanted to try a different OS. I downloaded and flashed Armbian and TwisterOS images to micro SD cards, but I cannot boot from them. When I power on the PB with the micro SD card inserted, the screen is blank and the power light blinks about once per second. Is there something else I need to do to? I feel like there's something obvious I am missing.

| Sound completely gone with Mobian in Phone Call configuration |

Since a few weeks I have problems again with call audio in Mobian. I don't use my PPP for calls often so I cannot say when the problem started.
In the settings app the sound test works fine in the "Default" configuration but fails to play any sound when set to "Phone call".
I have flashed the current weekly image and had the same problem there. So no funny configs on my side I guess.
Also I tried restarting pulseaudio, pipewire etc. as was mentioned in other threads.

| GStreamer Camera Issue (Unsupported pixformat: 0x56595559 with mbus code: 0x3001) |

Hey Everyone,
I've been trying to use gstreamer to access the camera on my pinephone.
I am running the mobian image mobian-pinephone-phosh-20221016.img.gz with all updates applied.
I first ran into the issue "does not support 2:0:0:0 colorimetry" as detailed on the following thread.
https://gitlab.com/mobian1/issues/-/issues/439
I first applied the patch to not bother checking the colorspace and rebuilt libgstvideo4linux2.so.
Code: diff --git a/sys/v4l2/gstv4l2object.c b/sys/v4l2/gstv4l2object.c
index 9851ffc83..72a5eb33b 100644
--- a/sys/v4l2/gstv4l2object.c
+++ b/sys/v4l2/gstv4l2object.c
@@ -3840,7 +3840,9 @@ gst_v4l2_object_set_format_full (GstV4l2Object * v4l2object, GstCaps\
* caps,
gst_structure_remove_field (s, "interlace-mode");
}
- if (gst_v4l2_object_get_colorspace (v4l2object, &format, &info.colorimetry)) {
+ GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (v4l2object->dbg_obj, "Processing colorimetry");
+
+ if (0 && gst_v4l2_object_get_colorspace (v4l2object, &format, &info.colorimetry)) {
if (gst_structure_has_field (s, "colorimetry")) {
if (!gst_v4l2_video_colorimetry_matches (&info.colorimetry, caps))
goto invalid_colorimetry;
With this change however I now get a different error.

Looking online I found references to this same error in the error log on the following post.
https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...1#pid71121
I assume the user was getting this error when attempting to use megapixels.
In my case megapixels works perfectly fine I only get this kernel error when I attempt to use gstreamer.
Does anyone know the nature of the "sun6i-csi 1cb0000.csi: Unsupported pixformat: 0x56595559 with mbus code: 0x3001!" error?
The other user didn't get this error after applying their patch so I am wondering if something else changed in mobian since they made there patch.
Also is it possible this pixformat error is related to the patch I made to gstreamer related to not obtaining the colorspace?
To my unfamiliar eyes it looks like it might be related by the author of the patch didn't seem to think it was.
Has anyone else successfully been able to use the pinephone camera with gstreamer under mobian?
Thanks!

The Pine H64 seems to have been out of stock for the past year with maybe a very brief return for a couple of days. Does anyone know when this will be restocked?
