  Boards with no OS and acceleration?
Posted by: Civil_Rick_9876 - 10-24-2022, 06:14 PM - Forum: General - Replies (1)

I'm not sure if any pine products support this but I'll ask.

I was thinking about writing a toy OS. There two big problem I can see. 1. No hardware acceleration on graphics. I want to be able to render images and move them around and completely draw a new screen @60hz. I prefer 1080 but 60@720 would be fine 2. Boot up without writing much or any code. I hear there's a lot of work to get an ARM to boot properly. I don't really need libc (although I expect that to be available) but I'd like to be able to compile hello world and have the board show it on screen (or serial port) without me writing much code.

I was thinking about using an arduino which I have experience with but I've never done anything using HDMI or graphics with it. Typically arduinos give you a basic library for various shields and lets you use C to write your code.

Is there a directory I can find the SMS and MMS within?

Thank you


  WiFi stopped on Pinebook Pro after update
Posted by: tkudog - 10-24-2022, 09:58 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (3)

After being gone for a month, I returned yesterday 23 Oct 2022 and thought 'let's update the Pinebook pro while I unpack'.  Running Manjaroo.  So I did, and after restart, WiFi no longer works.  Networks show "No available connections".  WiFi is on through the privacy switch (2 led blinks).  Any ideas how to fix?


Thumbs Up NVMe adapter, Great addition
Posted by: dachalife - 10-24-2022, 07:51 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (2)

Hi all, installed the NVMe adapter and it is outstanding!

Just added a TB of storage; went with a Samsung 980 and no issues so far.

I wanted to post so others knew it was an easy & affordable upgrade.


  Issues with PinePower Desktop
Posted by: superkamiguru - 10-24-2022, 07:43 AM - Forum: General - No Replies

I had posted in a previous thread about a similar issue, but thought it best to create a new post since that one was becoming rather old. 

I purchased the PinePower Desktop a couple of weeks ago, and while it charges devices well, it constantly power cycles if there isn’t anything plugged into it. I tried reaching out to the seller, but they had directed me to this forum for support. Is there a firmware update that should be applied to the device?


  nextcloud setup
Posted by: mruser1 - 10-23-2022, 01:35 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (2)

I could not find this in the wiki. I am to set up nextcloud. I go to settings / account / add nextcloud account.
When I enter my url, I get a
"unable to connect to nextcloud at the given server url. please check the server url"
Which kind of address should it be exactly?

Say, I can log in on https://www.example.com/myfolder/index.php/login then what should be the address?

hello all, where can I get back that alien desktop image painting, which disappeared with the recent update of KDT plasma mobile? Lock screen image may be the correct term.
   


  Pinebook Pro for sale (Ottawa, ON, Canada)
Posted by: dnikkel - 10-22-2022, 08:06 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (1)

I purchased a Pinebook Pro in March, 2020 and it was delivered in May, 2020.  It is working perfectly as far as I can tell, but I have not really found a use for it.  It is essentially unused, except for installing different Linux distributions and trying them out.  

In Feb, 2021, I purchased a Pinebook Pro USB-C docking station to go with it.  This was after trying a different docking deck that was not working well with the PBP (it would cause a hang on boot).  The PBP docking station has been trouble free in my experience.

The landed cost in Canada was steep after exchange and DHL charging an aditional CAD $61 for Duties, Taxes and Fees.  I have no record of additional fees on the docking station, so I'm assuming there weren't any.

To summarize, my costs were:

Pinebook Pro and shipping CAD $345.95
DHL Duties, Taxes and Fees CAD $61.00
Pinebook Pro USB-C Docking Deck CAD $75.01
Total CAD $481.96


If you're interested, let me know.  I haven't tried to determine shipping costs. Please make an offer excluding shipping costs, and I will pass through whatever the actual shipping costs are.  I prefer to sell it within Canada, in which case Paypal or Interac payment will be fine.  I have pictures I can provide on request.


  PineBook HOW TO REINSTALL ARCH-Manjaro.
Posted by: Ice-O-Star - 10-22-2022, 10:46 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

**HOW TO REINSTALL ARCH MANJARO on PineBook-Pro??**

Since I wasn't able to fix some problems after having installed Python thru 'pip', I decide to reinstall ARCH Manjaro on my PineBook Pro:

1. Downloaded: 
Manjaro-ARM-kde-plasma-generic-22.10.img.xz
and 
Manjaro-ARM-minimal-generic-22.10.img.xz

1. Which is the faster? Do the minimal-generic installation comes with LibreOffice?
2. After decompressing the  img.xz file with Balena-Etcher how to proceed?
3. How to proceed to boot from the USB drive?
4. After booting from the USB drive what should be done? Use encryption?

Thank you folks.
