  My PBP blew a fuse?
Posted by: pineymousepad - 11-12-2022, 07:20 PM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - No Replies

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 almost burned my finger, 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?


  Notification LED blinking spontaneously
Posted by: boloton - 11-12-2022, 01:47 PM - Forum: Arch Linux on PinePhone - Replies (6)

Hello, I am using the latest Arch with Phosh. In Phosh, there is a behaviour: when a notification arrives, the front LED starts to blink. However, sometimes I see the LED blinking for seemingly no reason, there are no notifications in the drop down menu. I tried to disable notifications for all apps except for Calls and Chats without effect. The main problem is that when it happens, the battery depletes much faster. For example, in the night it starts to blink. In the morning, battery is from 100% to 30%. Other night, everything works as expected and battery is at around 90%. I Don't know if the LED alone has that much power consumption, or if the phone cancels CRUST, or if something else happens. I can't say the exact frequency of it happening, maybe a few times a day. How can I go about it? I am wondering if there is a way to find out what is triggering the LED, perhaps some notification events history. Hope that this is written understandably, I tried to include the needed information. I will also provide more information if needed.


  Encrypted Root
Posted by: jaredoconnor - 11-12-2022, 11:09 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (1)

I'm hoping to run Armbian or Manjaro, with full disk encryption. However, I have failed to find much information about doing this. Could anyone give me some pointers? Also, do I need to do anything in particular, to ensure crypto extensions are used?


  U-boot Updates
Posted by: jaredoconnor - 11-12-2022, 11:05 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (5)

I would like to run the latest U-boot. However, I have some questions.


  1. Does the PBP require a modified U-boot, or is it safe to run the latest code from the official repo?
  2. All the tutorials that I have found either fail to mention where to get the files or they assume you're running Manjaro. Is there anywhere that I can get the files, without building them myself?
  3. I'm hoping to run U-boot on an SD card and the OS on the eMMC. That way, if I mess up my U-boot, it will be easier to recover than taking apart the laptop. Is this as simple as completely erasing the eMMC and installing U-boot on an SD card? Is there anything that I need to be aware of?


  PineTime beginner
Posted by: MV1791 - 11-12-2022, 09:03 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - Replies (2)

Hi all,
I've just received the PineTime.
I thought is was a 'stand alone' watch and only now I'm realizing that I need to set it using an APP.
I read some infos but I've some problems to understand wich is the right APP I need to install on my desktop (Ubuntu LTS 20.04)

And if I can install an APP on my Vollaphone22 (VollaOS or Ubuntu Touch).

Would anyone be so kind as to give me some suggestions?
Thanks in advance

  Ethernet port down afert 1 day
Posted by: jeda - 11-12-2022, 06:48 AM - Forum: Ethernet Port - No Replies

Hi,

I have bought 2 Pine A64+ from Ibood last week.
One of the boards has some trouble with the ethernet connection.

Everything worked just fine, but after 1 day, the network connection was dropped and my board was not accessible anymore.

This is my setup:
Serial number : 410640172333
OS : DietPi
Installed software : Webmin, docker, docker-compose

I have tried a new microsd card with a fresh installation of DietPi, but at the installation the system is complaining that there is no internet connection.
I also switched the microsd card with the one that works on the other board.
I have tried a different switch, network cabel, power supply, DHCP / static ip.
Switched the network speed to 100.
But nothing did the trick.

My network contoller (Unifi) says there is a device connected, but the device is not accesible

Ibood says i have to take contact by this forum.

So my question is, what can i do to make everything work again.

Kind regards,

Jelle


  Steps for Installing Alternative OSes in 2022
Posted by: jazzhands - 11-12-2022, 01:31 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (8)

I have a 2022 Pinebook Pro. I used dd to write an OS image to an SD card, in my case NetBSD which I sourced from here:

http://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/arm/netbsd-9/

Last time I ran NetBSD was years ago, on a different architecture. When I reboot the power led blinks and then nothing happens. Maybe I'm missing something obvious.

After searching I found this post:

https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...#pid113987

To wit:


Quote:The version of Manjaru that comes pre-installed on the 2022 Pinebooks Pro, includes a U-boot that does not allow booting from micro-SD card.

The ways to resolve this are
1) replace the U-boot on the eMMC with a different one, or possibly Tow-boot
2) wipe out the eMMC and install a different operating system on it.
3) install Tow-boot to SPI ROM (I do not actually recommend this, but it can be done, apparently).
4) disable the eMMC 

OK, so I need to do one of 4 things which I have no background to assess the relative merits thereof. Maybe I want to do the easiest one.

For #1, I can't find anything that looks apropriate and recent.

For #2 I'm not sure I want to get rid of Manjaro yet.

Why would #3, installing Tow Boot to SPI be a bad choice? Anyways, I found these tutorials for that:

- https://tow-boot.org/devices/pine64-pinebookPro.html
- https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=17529


#4 is not appropriate obviously (can't boot from SD)

Any pointers and thoughts would be appreciated.


  Libreelec nfs shares
Posted by: nberg@xs4all.nl - 11-11-2022, 01:18 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - No Replies

Hi there, I have a NAS shared with NFS. That works for my rock64 and 2 other computers in the network. But now I updated to 10.0.3. Now I can't get my NFS shares to work. I have put ubuntu on my rock and my shares work again. The two other computers have no problems with the NFS shares. So only Libreelec 10.0.3 is having a problem getting connected to my NAS using NFS. (There is network).

So I hope someone here can help.

  PinebookPro Display Corrupts/Cuts Out
Posted by: Twig - 11-11-2022, 07:21 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (5)

Hi,

Got a screen issues, that comes up in different ways.

Before my Pinebook Pro boots the OS, if I tilt the screen I sometimes get a bunch of garbled characters on the screen and the screen goes black (but still on).

Other times it'll boot normally and if I so much as touch the laptop it'll cut out.

Yet sometimes (and this strange), it'll boot normally, I can tilt the screen, move the laptop etc and nothing will go wrong.

Any ideas where to begin here? Some loose connector?

Thanks,

Twig


  Megapixels on kernel > 5.19?
Posted by: timonoj - 11-11-2022, 06:18 AM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (1)

Hi guys!

So I saw this entry in the blog:

Quote:[*]Starting with kernel 5.19 PinePhone Pro’s cameras will work with Megapixels
[*]

I am currently on

Quote:Linux danctnix 6.0.2-3-danctnix #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sat Oct 22 03:23:48 UTC 2022 aarch64 GNU/Linux

But if I try to start Megapixels...I get this:
Quote:pdate_state()

So...what am I doing wrong?
