Hello, All

Could you please name the package manager that comes w this port of Arch Linux that comes w pinetab2? I searched for "pacman" and "pamac" but to no avail. How can I alleviate this issue?

Many thanks,

Deckard

Hello

The bottom right corner of the touchscreen doesn't respond, I cannot enter the password. I highly suspect an hardware defect, I had the same trouble on my very first Pinephone.

Could it be caused by a software problem?

Is there a workaround in the meantime so that I can login? For example, can I force the Pinephone to enable the screen rotation very early? Can I use the dock?

Does someone have some experience on replacing the touchscreen? I will probably do that and if it works on my current Pinephone, I will do the same on my previous Pinephone.

P.S: I can login by using the dock but half of the user interface doesn't appear on the screen and the keyboard starts working correctly only after entering the password. Note that I use full disk encryption.

I use Vivaldi browser (stable and snapshot) on my PinePhone and FreeTube to watch YouTube videos. I also have Chromium installed on my PinePhone. Vivaldi is based on Chromium and FreeTube is an electron app.

When I place the cursor in the URL field of Vivaldi or Chromium or in the search field in FreeTube, I would expect for the on screen keyboard to appear as it does with Firefox thus allowing me to enter a URL/search term into the field. 

This does not happen with the Chromium/Elecron apps. Is there a way round this ideally so that the on screen keyboard will appear automatically?

Having some  cloud storage for my barebones VPS as well as a virtual "sd card" that I can share links from seems like a cool idea. I could also set it to sync my /home and SD card though a network share is all I want for now. I have not used cloud storage before except for linux servers where I could mount via sshfs maybe dropbox when it was first available for free.  Filen.io are all about privacy and e2e encryption but they seem to be home brewing all of the interfaces.
(edit) after buying a lifetime 100GB package I now have the extra storage and I also figured out the missing part to get it to mount

./filen_cli --skip-update mount /home/mobian/filen

I am sure I am just tired or something, or the CLI client is broken

Hi all,

I got my PinePhone a couple of months ago, and since then I have come up with a few small patches to some of the applications, mainly to improve usability on the touchscreen. These include:

• Automatically add extensions to downloaded MMS attachments in Chatty
  
• Track selection and touch scrolling in Audacious MP3 player
  
• Quick switching between fullscreen and gallery view in Eye of GNOME image viewer
  
• Fixed position tracking and added "track up" mode in Marble mapping app.
  

Hello,

I have a Pinephone Pro device. It is one of the early models with the microSIM slot.

Note: If I do not have a hardware problem, I will repost this thread in one of the other PPP form categories.

The device has tow-boot installed with Mobian (Bookworm) for the operating system, which worked quite well for me (only problems were poor battery life and inability to switch between external speaker and phone speaker without a reboot).

Mobian is installed on the internal eMMC storage. The microSD for extra storage is empty (not used).

The battery drained fully and upon recharge the PPP booted to this error message.

Hello, All

I tried connecting my wifi dongle to a USBC adapter before plugging into the pinetab2. No results. The dongle came with drivers but I have no way to use a cdrom disk. Should I get a plug n play dongle? Is it a problem w the USBC adapter?

Your thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

My Pinecil has finally arrived and is turning on when powered with 5v via the USB-C on my laptop but when connected to QC there is nothing displayed. I've gone through both troubleshooting pages for this issue. I've reflashed it twice and it doesn't heat when I press the + button. I'm not quite sure what to do with it yet but I did buy the breakout board so more is possible but it has been years since I've experimented with this stuff(LED does display on the breakout board when connected to QC and I've tried 2 different bricks so far) ASUS ROG 65W HDMI CHARGER DOCK - Best Buy (along with the included wire and an Anker wire) and the OE one for the ASUS ROG Ally(with the unremovable wire)..I've flashed with 2.23e.dd4a5500 and 2.22e.c308fe8c with no luck still and I did find the pd debug function while trying to flash and that doesn't do anything with it either!!  I haven't gotten my 5525 ports yet so I can't try it with that... any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Free software is software you can use, share, modify and redistribute. Can the computer
run entirely on a free software system? If the computer can run
partly on a free software system, then which devices on the
computer will not work if you decide to not install non free software on
the computer? Thank you.

freeBSD is booted on pinephone pro with console output.

this is very initial achievement, but i welcome this move. i think pinephone models should have other operating system options than linux based ones.
