Hi all.

I have a Pinebook pro with SPI tow boot flashed.

I'm trying to install Debian 11 on eMMc from the official stable release. At the end, GRUB installation ends with an error.

After this failure, the installation media stops loading, and I flash it again every time.

I tried installing rEFInd on the ESP partition, but it doesn't seem to work, all drivers say "program has returned 0" and then reboot.

Installing GRUB from chroot doesn't work either.

I know the new release of Manjaro boots in uEFI mode using GRUB, how can I get Debian to do the same?

When I first installed Ubuntu Touch many moons ago, the voice in calls was just fine. I really don't use the phones for calls, but I got a call the other day, and noticed then that was no no audio at all.

Upon further testing, I see now there is no audio at all coming to, or being sent from the phone.

Anyone know what has happened?

in Beta 13 the desktop will always be configured with Halycon Layout after a restart and the wallpaper will always default to what beta 13 came with. You can change your settings but after restart they will be gone.

Hello all,
I checked before I bought my Pinephone that PureTalk worked, but now I am running into issues registering on the Cell network. And I found a few posts that make me think PureTalk started whitelisting Pinephones.

So is there anyone currently using PureTalk for voice and messaging in the US? Or does anyone know for sure that they blocked Pinephones?

Thanks.

Hello,

I recently got my PineBook and have managed to flash Tow-Boot on the SPI, flash manjaro on the eMMc and update the touchpad firmware.

I shut it down yesterday and had 50% battery left (at least) and today I started it up and the battery was at 0% so it powered off right after getting to the login screen.

This has happened every single day since I got the laptop.

All the LEDs turn off after shutting it down so it really looks like it is off while obviously it is not.

What can I do to solve this? Where do I even start?

Thank you very much for any help!

I am running kernel 5,19 on mobian/Phosh but on starting megapixels from the command line I get the message;

"/usr/share/megapixels/config/pine64,pinephone-pro.ini not found.
Could not find any config file".

How do I get hold of the config file?

A thread with similar issue is closed.

postmarketOS is not charging the batteries at times; and the menu bar shows always charging, regardless if the device is plugged or not.
Also, the same result I can see from 'powersupply' package, always charging.

This issue happened with the newest stable release.  I have attempted replacing the battery with J7, and the same issue is there.

When PinePhone Pro is booted with Manjaro Plasma stable OS, the battery issues is not there, with both the PinePhone OEM battery, and the J7 battery.
With Manjaro Plasma stable OS, if I disconnect the phone from the charger, it shows so; and if I plug back the USB charging cable, the PinePhone Pro will charge, with no issue.

It is indifferently an issue with postmarketOS with charging the phone; or thinking it is being charged and connected (while it is not).

Issue is not with the hardware, it is with postmarketOS.

I have to boot up the Pinephone Pro with Manjaro Plasma OS to get the phone charging, and not depleting the battery, then switch back to postmarketOS. The loveliness of dual boot setup (SD card & eMMC).

Please, if any command I need to run, to supply more details, I am more than willing to do so.

Thank you

How to enter BIOS to change boot order from Hard disk to boot from USB
(to change distro to Endeavour, Mint or Fossapup64 in order to make Qemu work,
& cos I'm fed up with Manjaro wining about dependencies; too long time on each update or new program. Rolling release NO thanks!).

Helllo, looking at the new ROCK64 the spi flash chip is no longer included so my question is if it is possible to boot from an ssd connected via USB?

Plenty happens when we render graphics on PinePhone… Because PinePhone’s Display Hardware is so complex!

To understand the internals of PinePhone, let’s build a Display Driver that will talk directly to PinePhone’s Display Hardware. (“Bare Metal”)

We’ll do this with the Zig Programming Language, running on Apache NuttX RTOS...
