I am well and trully inexperienced so much of the terminology on the posts means little or nothing to me. I have a lot to learn.

My initial problem with my Pinephone pro was with passwords. On first use all seemed O.K. Then when I shut it down and went in again it wouldn't recognise the pin I had put in and kept coming up with "Wrong Pin". And there is another password that it keeps asking for but again won't recognise what I put in. That one it seems is for changing things like time zone etc. I set the time zone when I first used the phone and the time has remained correct but every time I get into the phone it seems to want me to set the timezone again and keeps wanting the password, that is not what I thought I had put in. I had still been able to get into the phone without it recognising the pin or the password. And I set up and used  the phone and went on line but it still wants an ellusive password. Suddenly without any change on my part it started recognising the Pin it hadn't recognised before. Then things started to go wrong. 

Anyway I was told I needed to flash from an SD card. Have tried to understand this from the WIKI but it is not clear.

The WIKI speaks of burning an image to an SD card. I went to the options and downloaded the files from the Manjaro arm site but there were several image files plus text files, and as the wiki only talks of burning a single image file what is what with the others and what are the text files all about? They are not something I can read. So can someone explain what I need to do here?.

I run Ubuntu on my computer and my only experience with burning image files has been burning new versions of Ubuntu using "Start up disk creator" and that only accepts Ubuntu images. The Wiki talks of using the program "Disks" which is on Ubuntu but I have never used that for burning image files. So I need some step by step instructions'

What is pico wizard?

There are other problems and more I could say but this is where I start. I don't have a lot of time so can't get in here often and find when I do come in things have changed and I can't find things that were there last ime I was in,  but anyway I need to start somewhere.

I have a PBP from the recent batch. Today I restarted it with 1% battery charge and it didn't turn back on. After a forum search I tried loading it over USB-C, which worked. After a time, half of my screen was vertical grey lines. Then after restarting and logging in, the screen was all vertical grey lines. I tried switching from Wayland to X11, which worked, but switching back also worked. Then it stopped working entirely. With the barrel charger it wouldn't turn on, charging it over USB gives a blinking red light. Without the battery and the barrel power adapter, nothing happens, but with a USB adapter the Pinebook produces varyingly pitched noises. Any ideas?

TL;DR I'm experiencing this issue but with the Pinebook Pro and the solution outlined there isn't helping me: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=6819

So I've recently upgraded the eMMC in my Pinebook Pro to 128 GB, and I wanted to use an SD card as the home partition. I've partitioned it as the following:

I’m trying my luck here in getting help with the issues on my PP og:

I was updating manjaro phosh from v25 to 26, when autosuspend kicked in and the screen didn’t come back. I turned the phone off to early and now I get the following error and the os doesn’t boot:

Did anyone managed to make tow-boot working on pinephone beta edition ?
I tried releases for pinephone and pinephone pro, flashing to SD card, but none of them was working. There is no reaction on pressing power button - not even blinking led light. I wanted to test Mobian, but there is no way without working tow-boot.

We need a dark theme on this forum please.

Hey folks,

Is anybody familiar with how to enable the Calendar/Upcoming Events plugins in Phosh via gsettings? (Highlighted in: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/pho...gs/v0.21.0)

The switch to enable is supposed to be in phosh-mobile-settings (https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-mobile-settings) as of v0.21.0 but under Widgets, there are no buttons and only 'Additional widgets for the lock screen. This feature is experimental.' is displayed. I'm thinking enabling via gsettings might just be easier at this point.

I'm running Phosh 0.21.0 and Phoc 0.21.1 on Mobian.

Thanks!

I noticed that the mainboard in the Pinebook Pro that I received in August 2022 is different than the other earlier Pinebooks Pro that I have.  But I didn't look for anything else different.  I haven't read any accurate reports of things changed.

But I have noticed that battery life is greatly improved.  Or charging or usage has improved, I don't know which.  Even with the display brightness turned all the way up, the battery remains full no matter what I'm doing.

This isn't a software improvement, I don't think.  I'm running NetBSD 9.3

Hello, 

I've done all the googling, I've tried all the things, but there are really very few options I can find, and some big walls in my flow. I've really managed no progress since receiving the device. 

On the factory OS, I inevitably encounter a system freeze. Timing wise, most notably, always before a complete download of updates can be completed. 

In attempting to simply use a different OS, I'm fairly confident I've created a bootable microSD, but have no alternative way to verify this. I've run into other threads suggesting that the device may continue to boot from factory install on eMMC until updates are completed, but to ...loop back... to earlier, I can't download all updates, much less install them. I did manage to complete installation from shipping state to install on eMMC, perhaps I'd be in better shape had I not. 

One theory I have is that my CPU is overheating, and I have a hardware issue, but I want to make a forum post before I go bugging pine for replacement hardware... shipping time... And I'm probably wrong anyway, but I have no idea what to do. 

Thanks in advance

How do you set up an application to run automatically when logging into Phosh? I don't see anything in Settings about auto-starting applications at login and don't see anything obvious under .local or .config.
