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 ?

This forum runs on horrible software. One of the wors UX that I experienced with open source software.

What was driving the decision on choosing MyBB instead of amazing alternatives, like [Discourse](https://www.discourse.org/)?
Seems like simply the usual Pine64 way of doing things.

edit: I'm now discovering that it doesn't even support the de facto standard for simple formatting: Markdown.

I have had the following problems so far:
- It shows alerts for replies I have read: there are 2 replies on a post, it shows 2 alerts. I click the first, read it then scroll down to the other reply, and read that also. But the “Alerts” button still shows `(1)` for the other reply, and I have to click it to make it disappear.
- My replies in DMs are not shown in a conversation view.

I am using postmarketOS Phosh on the PinePhone.
Firefox is incapable of playing 720p video, even with the Firefox ESR hardware accelerration settings enabled.

Sometimes it completely lags for seconds, sometimes only a little bit, when UI (video controls/Phosh UI) is shown.
Needless to say, it gets very hot.

VLC can not even play a video.

What do you recommend for playing 720p video properly?

Since Pinebook pro will not boot at all ( black screen)

I'm trying to follow these instructions to make a bootable ubuntu

I don't know some answer needed  to get past  first step

1.  Is the system   MBR  or a GBT?

2.  is the system  UEFI  or legacy BIOS?
