when I record any operating system, pinephone does not turn on, neither the led nor the screen lights up.

Tried the killswitch but it doesn't help. Few boots away I had WiFi while I was using my sd card. Now I get no wifi or every boot, no deference if sd card or ssd.

WLAN dongles and bluetooth also not working.


Also /etc/network/interfaces is not existing. And the NetworkManager.conf is empty. And I seem to miss the network manager service... Just freshly installed kde, before that I had xfce, sadly same problem

Hi,

after being annoyed by the instability of delivered firmware I let my pinephone mature for a while and today, I gave it another try and installed mobian- just because i'm on debian all the time.
I really like that thing now. Having the pinephone-keyboard, I got a cool tiny laptop now.
Sadly, i didn't yet manage to get more than one terminal (on my pc, I never have less than 3 open... mostly more like ten)
Is there any way to do this?

OS on my new pine phone pro explorer: 5.18.0-2-manjaro-arm, pre-installed

i'm new to pine phone and new to manjaro. I'm unsure whether to post the following question here or on the manjaro forum

after starting up the phone it indidatces that there are some updates, when I try to update it says "there was an issue installing this update. please try again later" but i've been trying for a day now (the number of updates remains unchanged as 486). If i click "see technical details" it says "unknown error, unexpected error. I tried to install the Signal app just as a test, and it fails, it says "bad GPG signature found". On the command line i tried to install neofetch but it says "invalid or corrupted package ... errors occurred, no packages were upgraded". So, I haven't succeeded in doing anything. It's a completely new phone, straight out of the box.

i have read the trouble shooting info, and i've watched some videos, but I haven't learned much. Is there somewhere i should be looking for basic troubleshooting info?

thanks

I put a new MicroSD cad (class 10, 32GB bought from Pine64 a few days after i bought the phone) into the Pine Phone, executed lsblk and fdisk -l and the card isn't showing up.  The results list only mmcblk2 and zram partitions.  There should be mmcblk0.
Any response is appreciated.

Hi all! I have done one screen replacement on the pinephone, then I liquid damaged that screen so I am going to replace it again here. The thing is though that the adhesive to hold the daughter board in place for my pinephone is all messed up. So I was wondering if anyone would have an idea of what kind of adhesive is a suitable replacement for securing the daughter board.

After some recent updates I'm finding that squeekboard is no longer coming up when invoking the terminal or other programs needing keyboard input. I believe that sqeekboard is one of the packages that was updated.

However, if connecting remotely to the phone's GUI, squeekboard can be run manually in the terminal so it is there. When doing this, initially it displayed the following diagnostic:

from https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/202...00647.html :

Quote:If you run Debian testing/unstable and ever installed anacron 2.3-33 on
a systemd based system, then anacron will no longer be enabled and the
daily/weekly/monthly cron jobs will not be run until it is.

Since not all cron jobs have migrated to systemd timers, Debian
testing/unstable systems with systemd and anacron may be missing
some essential cron jobs, such as making backups of aptitude state.

To see if a system is affected you can use these commands:

zgrep -i anacron.*2.3-33 /var/log/apt/history.log*
systemctl status anacron.service anacron.timer

To re-enable anacron you can use these commands:

sudo systemctl enable anacron.service anacron.timer
sudo systemctl start anacron.service anacron.timer

I'm guessing if could be possible for future notebooks to have really powerful CPUs, like MediaTek Dimensity 9200 or Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Maybe it's a drivers/firmware issue since they are not open source, what's the opinion?

Hello,

I've added a page to the wiki about installing Void linux.

Any feedback ?
