| Short Guide to Using OpenVPN client GUI and .ovpn config file on PP |
|

A pretty simple guide, Mobian Trixie is setup to use wireguard for VPNs.
It is pretty easy to add openVPN client services though.
first install two packages
Code: sudo apt install openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome
The .ovpn file contains all of the settings and certificates you need to make the connection though for some services you also need to add your username and password.
Code: sudo nmcli connection import type openvpn file /home/mobian/exampleVPN.ovpn
In trixie you even get a clicker button in the pulldown notification area along with bluetooth battery and wifi toggles once the VPN is setup.

| Void Linux: missing firmware from pinebookpro-firmware? |

I'm running Void on my pbp, which currently is working fine, but during installation wifi didn't work, and `ip a` said that wlan0 didn't exist at all, and the privacy switches didn't help. The unbind/bind trick:
Code: sudo tee /sys/bus/platform/drivers/dwmmc_rockchip/{un,}bind <<< 'fe310000.mmc'
Code: cd /run/mount/manjaro/
cp --parents -Pvt ../void/ lib/firmware/{brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.{bin,clm_blob,'pine64,pinebook-pro.txt'},cypress/cyfmac43455.*}

| Lightweight Browser? |

Running a PP Beta/kb/Manjaro/box86, life is fine in most categories. But chromium is glacial and links2 has developed issues bringing up news sites such as washingtonpost/reuters/etc (java complaints and so on).
Is there a very-modest browser that I'm missing? Graphics/video unimportant. I suppose links (vs links2) would be the fallback, but wouldn't mind something a little less stark.

| Horizontal lines appearing on Display in bright conditions |
|
Posted by: harrywoods - 12-12-2024, 09:20 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime

Recently, I’ve noticed that in bright environments, particularly when I’m outside, there are pairs of horizontal lines appearing on the screen. This happens regardless of whether the display is active or not.
The lines seem to be most prominent in the area around the analog watch face, which is also where I tend to touch the screen frequently. It’s quite distracting and affects the overall visual experience, making it difficult to use the device comfortably.
I’ve tried capturing a photo to show you what I’m seeing, but due to the reflective nature of the display glass, it was challenging to get a clear image. However, I hope that my description helps convey the issue.
Here are a few additional details:
This problem has been occurring for some time now, and I can’t pinpoint when it started.
The lines are visible only in bright light conditions; in dimmer environments, the display looks normal.
I’m curious if anyone else has experienced something similar or if this is a known issue with the device.
Could this be a hardware problem, or might it be related to the display technology itself? Any insights or suggestions on how to address this would be greatly appreciated.

| Installing r2kaw and Tow-Boot to the SPI |
|

I am trying to get r2kaw and Tow-Boot installed to the SPI of the PPP at the same time.
I can install Tow-Boot to the SPI, and I can install r2kaw to the SPI, but I haven't figured out how to have both on the SPI.
For installing Tow-Boot to the SPI, I can follow the Tow-Boot installation instructions for the PPP, under the "Installing to SPI (recommended)" section.
For installing rk2aw, I can follow the rk2aw installation instructions for the PPP, under the "Installation to SPI NOR flash" section.
Here is the relevant part of the rk2aw installation instructions:
Quote:Installation steps are:
1) Erase the SPI NOR flash compeltely and install rk2aw
# for RK3399:
./rk2aw-spi-flasher --erase-all --rk2aw rk2aw/debug.img.spi
# for other SoCs:
./rk2aw-spi-flasher --erase-all --rk2aw rk2aw/debug.img
2) Install U-Boot or other bootloader
a) U-Boot
./rk2aw-spi-flasher \
--uboot-spl u-boot-spl.bin \
--uboot-tpl u-boot-tpl.bin \
--uboot-itb u-boot.itb
(The above 3 files are normal build artifacts of U-Boot. You get them from
a regular defconfig U-Boot build for your board.)
b) Other bootloaders
./rk2aw-spi-flasher \
--spl levinboot-emmc.img
If flashing fallback bootloader add --replace-fallback to the above commands.
Although the instructions mention U-Boot and "other bootloaders", they don't directly mention Tow-Boot. So my first question was, what category does Tow-Boot fall under? U-Boot, since it's based off U-Boot, or "other bootloaders".
After downloading and extracting the "pine64-pinephonePro-2023.07-007.tar.xz" file from the latest Tow-Boot release, this is what I got:
Code: $ tree ./pine64-pinephonePro-2023.07-007
./pine64-pinephonePro-2023.07-007
├── binaries
│ ├── Tow-Boot.noenv.bin
│ └── Tow-Boot.spi.bin
├── config
│ ├── noenv.config
│ └── spi.config
├── shared.disk-image.img
└── spi.installer.img
3 directories, 6 files
Next I tried using the "shared.disk-image.img" file for the "Other bootloaders" method:
Code: ./rk2aw-spi-flasher --spl shared.disk-image.img
...
ERROR: File shared.disk-image.img is too big for the buffer size 1048576
Code: ./rk2aw-spi-flasher --spl spi.installer.img
...
ERROR: File spi.installer.img is too big for the buffer size 1048576
That's what I've tried so far. Any tips would be appreciated!
TIA, ethical_haquer
