Hello, I am strugling to use jabber on my pp, for my use chatty would be enough, but omemo is not working yet, is there a way to fix it or it depends on software updates?
Another solution would be dino, to use dino, should I just install the standard version on arch repos or it needs some package to make it mobile friendly? How's about gajim, anyone using it, is it mobile friendly?

After a couple of years of use, my pinebook pro won't accept my root password. It's okay in the UI, and okay to sign in,  but not in the terminal. Can I either reset the entire computer or fix this problem?

Hi,

I have a serious trouble with my Pinebook pro. There is no boot possible even on SD card.


Initial state : Pinebook pro boot well on emmc with Manjaro  (there were conflicts for updates in this older version of Manjaro, that’s why I wanted a new installation )

1) I boot on SD card with a Manjaro.
2) I update manjaro-flash on the SD card and run it.
3) I put a USB key that contains the image  Manjaro-ARM-kde-plasma-pbpro-22.08.img.xz
4) I tell arm-flash the location of the image and click on install. It runs and indicates a progress of the installation on the emmc (several gigabytes).
5) I turn off the machine and remove the SDCard.
6) I turn on the Pinebook pro, and absolutely nothing is happening, no LED lights up, everything stays off.

So I decided to remove the emmc memory and boot on the previous SDCard.
I did several tests by pressing the power button for a long time or not.
I also pressed the reset button on the motherboard.

The computer seems dead because there is not even a light that turns on (I specify that it is plugged into an electrical outlet).
Can a reinstall be forced with UART mode and serial cable for example?

Thank you if you have an idea.

When I go to the available networks page in settings, all I get is 

current operator: none

When I scan for more I get the error:

Scanning networks failed: Cannot scan networks: not enabled yet

I am able to temporarily receive texts if I run the command "sudo mmcli -m any -e", but after a while I go back to having "no carrier", and for this duration data does not work either, and the settings option for adjusting the APN is not highlighter, so I am unable to change it.  

If there's anymore information I can post to help resolve this issue, please let me know.

I've flashed Mobian to the emmc and ran into the "low disk space on file system root"- issue. I already have removed unnecessary software, emptied tradh etc.......
I know this is still or has been a question discussed on this forum.

But there seem to be differentt ways of a solution.
Which one would you recommend?
Or is it depending of the chosen image?

Hi this is Palak Sharma
I am an Engineering Student.
I am planning to develop a website for final year project. Lots of programming languages I am learning here. My strength is in Python programming language as it is very easy to learn and coding. One of my friend suggest me that before start developing I should learn about Pseudocode which will help me to make rough idea for doing programming and similarly help in web development.
I had never heard about term Pseudocode. I am full confused now, Is Pseudocode really does matter or will help in web development.
Waiting for some positive responses.
Thanks

Programming the GPIO Hardware on PinePhone looks complicated… But it’s not that different from microcontrollers! (Like PineTime Smartwatch and PineCone BL602)

Today we shall learn…
1. How to blink the LEDs on PinePhone
2. What’s the Allwinner A64 Port Controller
3. What’s inside the Linux Device Tree
4. How we configure and flip the GPIOs
5. How to do this in C and BASIC

We shall experiment with PinePhone’s GPIO Hardware by booting Apache NuttX RTOS on PinePhone.

Why boot NuttX RTOS on PinePhone? Why not Linux?

NuttX RTOS is a super-tiny, Linux-like operating system that gives us “Unlocked Access” to all PinePhone Hardware. Thus it’s easier to directly manipulate the Hardware Registers on PinePhone.

(Like with peek and poke in BASIC)

Will it mess up the Linux installed on PinePhone?

We shall boot NuttX safely with a microSD Card, we won’t touch the Linux Distro on PinePhone. 

Let’s dive in and find out how we blinked the PinePhone LEDs…

NuttX RTOS for PinePhone: Blinking the LEDs

my bluetooth headphones works great with pinebook pro, but when i connect my jack headphones audio is Quieter, without bass and with very low quality
installed OS is manjaro, i haven't tested yet other OS

I have a number of RockPro64 4Gb boards, and some days ago, after powering down the cluster one of the devices is no longer booting. I have tested it with another MicroSD and is not working either. Both MicoSD cards are booting properly on another RockPro64 device.

I have tried powering down, pressing the power button for many seconds (many times), pressing reset and pressing power button after, pressing both power and reset buttons, but no solution at all.

I see some link in the ethernet switch, that is blinking for some seconds and then turning off. Some other times it just keeps blinking for a long period of time until I press reset or power buttons, then it stops blinking definitely.

I wonder if you could give me an advice on how to solve this issue.

TL;DR: Click the link to get Waydroid with hardware acceleration or if you're interested in building an image from source for development purposes.

Guide lives here: Waydroid for PinePhone Pro

Waydroid is a popular Android emulation environment for Linux that uses a lightweight container to run apps. Though a release based on LineageOS 17.1 is available on many package repositories, it doesn't meet everyone's needs. The official 17.1 release doesn't support graphics hardware acceleration on the RK3399 (i.e. PinePhone Pro), which is important for usability. Additionally, the official instructions do not provide everything developers need to build a working daily-driver-ready image from the latest sources, which they may want in order to test features and fixes that they plan to upstream on their personal phones. This guide attempts to help users who want hardware acceleration but don't have it on 17.1 (e.g., PinePhone Pro users) and developers who want to test new features and fixes on their daily drivers.
