I recently got a pinebook pro and have been playing around with distros to see what I like best. I found the existing instructions available for Fedora, but they didn't work for the 37 beta currently available. I had already installed Tow-Boot and that continued to work fine. Here's what I had to do:

1. Boot from Fedora 37 live image. I used USB, but SD should also work.
   
2. Run the 'Install to Disk' application
   
3. Choose the install destination. I reclaimed all space on the emmc and installed there.
   
4. There will be error boxes that pop up complaining about problems installing the boot loader. You can choose to continue with the installation.
   
5. Once the installer has finished and before rebooting, you need to add a boot loader entry. I did this manually by creating a boot loader entry file here:
   

   Quote:/mnt/sysimage/boot/loader/entries/fedora37.conf

   
   With these contents based on the kernel and initramfs images I had present in /mnt/sysimage/boot:
   

   Quote:title Fedora 37
   options $kernelopts
   linux /vmlinuz-5.19.7-300.fc37.aarch64
   initrd /initramfs-5.19.7-300.fc37.aarch64.img

1. Sound
   
2. Does not wake up from sleep after either closing the lid or pressing the power button.
   

Sorry, but I have no idea how to fix this.

If some kind person could guide me through it....?

Here is the result from journalctl when trying to place a call:

Just bought a new Pinephone (non pro) and I am trying to get it setup and working. Out of the box with Manjero I tried my SIM and it would not connect to cell service, IIIRC it would give constant GSM error and a timeout. I then updated Manjero, with the same result of not connecting to cell service.

So today I switched to Mobian, the latest weekly build (mobian-pinephone-phosh-20221113.img). But I still appear to still have an issue with registering on the cell network.

My SIM is Puretalk, I am in the US. And it works in my Android phone. I checked before ordering the phone and saw several posts where people said PureTalk works fine. One said just slap the SIM card in and voice is good, setup the APN and mobile data is good.

I have tried the following:

• Cycling through all of the network types 2g-4g, and disabling and re-enabling the mobile network.
  
• Switching the Network (selection) from Automatic to off, most of the time this results in "Timeout was reached" or GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.libqmi...
  But after a several tires I usually get a list of carriers, and I select PureTalk.com. I can exit and go back in and it still shows PureTalk is selected. If I close the settings and re-open it it is back to Automatic.
• Multiple reboots, complete power off and battery removal
  
• Switching the modem hardware switch on and off.
  
• I am connected to WiFi and did update after installing.
  
• Tried disabling mobile data
  
• Tried a couple variations for APN (currently using PureTalk / RESELLER)
  
• Tried texting and calling. Texts to not send, calls just immediatly just say "call ended"
  
• SIM card has been in and out a few times, is installed correctly (since it sees my phone number)
  

I'm looking to use the Rock64 for emulation and media playback. I will be running RetroPie, Batocera, Recalbox, Lakka, or RetroArch. Which ever one runs the best, or is easiest to set up will be fine. I plan to install Kodi into which ever OS I go with. One of them even has Kodi preinstalled. The emulation capabilities of the Rock64 are just fine for my expectations but I'm curious about how well it handles HDR video and also passthrough audio with Atmos. I searched around to see what people had to say but most of the posts are from two years ago or more, and I know that development usually moves along pretty quickly so issues from two years ago may have been solved by now.

I will be playing media locally with Kodi. Files will be in h.265 10 bit with HDR and most will have Dolby Digital Plus with Atmos, some will be Dolby TrueHD with Atmos. Output will be via HDMI into a home theater receiver that fully supports the above audio codecs.

Does anybody have any recent experience with this type of setup? Any problems with either HDR or Atmos passthrough?

Hello,

I bought a fresh now rock64 along with the woodpecker USB to serial adapter. However, when I plug in the adapter to my computer in 3.3V, it is not recognized by the computer, and "dmesg" output remains silent, even though the led is lit. I tried multiple distros, kernel options and even Windows. The device just doesn't show up.

The adapter is correctly recognized in 5V mode, and the /dev/ttyUSB0 device gets created as expected. But apparently I should not use this mode to access my Rock64 console or I'll damage it.

What can I do ?

Thanks

I have noted that Evolution crashed and also Libreoffice on Manjaro Plasma.
I was able to reinstall Evolution but Libreoffice remains busted, can't install.
I also noted numerous issues with updating in the terminal. After several tries
I was able to update. However Libreoffice remains busted and that is essential.

I plugged in usb c charger and heard my PBP making a chirping noise like a bird, I unplugged it and the USB C metal end felt really hot, tried using my simple pocket sized portable battery and my battery percentage LED turned off (that never happened before, bricked my portable battery), it seems to be sending current back towards whatever is supposed to be charging it. PBP was working until it ran out of battery (had no way of charging it, so PBP works, but now no way to add power)...
I tried the barrel charger, nothing (where before this incident it was working)...

I tried searching for threads related to my problem and found nothing. Will I have to open the PBP and change a fuse? USB-C port? Every month I use this thing it seems to pose me with a new engineering challenge.
