  pine phone external speaker
Posted by: AnAbolitionist - 09-18-2022, 05:56 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (9)

I have 3 pinephones, running manjero, and mobian all 3 phones the external speaker has died, where can I get replacement speakers that can handle what the pinephone puts out. There is some kind of design flaw, or parts problem with the speaker. Rest of the phone works and bluetooth is getting better. But without external speaker can't use any alarm functions, constantly miss calls.


Sad New PinePhone Mobian Weekly Image... No Boot
Posted by: photon - 09-18-2022, 05:27 PM - Forum: General - Replies (1)

Since I, or maybe Mobian, or maybe both of us, fubar'd my package dependencies beyond repair a few weeks ago, I've been eagerly awaiting a new weekly.  Finally dropped very early this morning, so I downloaded, decompressed and wrote the image to a known good SD card.  The bad news is that the PP fails to  recognize it, instead booting to PMOS on the EMMC.   Angry

I've re-burned the it several times from two different laptops, using Gnome Disks and  Balena Etcher, but no joy.  The only difference I see is that the Ext4 bootfs partition says "EFI".  Dodgy

I've  never had problems with Mobian on SD... I'm stumped.  Any ideas? Idea


  Rock64 u-boot for eMMC Build Error
Posted by: mexicanflyer - 09-18-2022, 02:29 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - No Replies

I have a Rock64 4GB board which I would like to turn into a FreedomBox server.

Since the Rock64 boards are no longer sold with SPI flash, I am trying
to build U-Boot to flash onto the eMMC module. I am following the instructions
for building here:

https://u-boot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/...kchip.html

However, when I get to here:

Code:
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-


I get this error:

Code:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.core'
make[2]: *** [scripts/dtc/pylibfdt/Makefile:30: rebuild] Error 1
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:398: scripts/dtc/pylibfdt] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:2047: scripts_dtc] Error 2


Some investigation tells me pylibfdt is not yet compatible with python3, and it will
be a while before the developers will be able to solve the problem, as it causes many other issues.
I installed python2, but I get this error:

Code:
scripts/dtc/pylibfdt/libfdt_wrap.c:154:11: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
  154 | # include <Python.h>
      |           ^~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
error: command '/usr/bin/cc' failed with exit code 1
make[2]: *** [scripts/dtc/pylibfdt/Makefile:30: rebuild] Error 1
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:398: scripts/dtc/pylibfdt] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:2047: scripts_dtc] Error 2


What am I able to do in order to work around this issue?

For clarity, will the u-boot and FreedomBox installations exist on the same eMMC module in the end, or must I install one to an SD card and the other on the eMMC module?


Thank you for reading the post. I would appreciate any advice you have to offer.


  [Solved] Connect PPP to PC via USB for data transfer ?
Posted by: libresurf - 09-18-2022, 04:35 AM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (1)

Hello,

The Tow-Boot mass storage flash works for me. I flashed Manjaro OS Beta 12 in the eMMC.

Now in normal use while running Manjaro OS Beta 12, I'm unable to connect my PPP to the PC via USB-C for transfer data.

On the PC, /var/log/syslog shows nothing when I connect the PPP via USB.

On the PPP, journalctl -f returns :

The USB device only manages power.

Do you know what I have to do to activate the USB connection for data sharing ?
Thank you in advance.


  Pinephone (Pro) Keyboard Case for sale
Posted by: manubert - 09-17-2022, 11:51 AM - Forum: PinePhone Accessories - Replies (7)

Hi! I’ve got a spare Pinephone (Pro) keyboard case for sale because a friend of mine backed out. I don’t want it to collect dust, so I’d rather send it to one of you folks.
I’d like to have 40€ + shipping for it; shipping inside Germany or EU would be the the least hassle for me.

Cardboard box only opened once to take the photo below, everything else untouched.

If you’d like to have it, shoot me a DM. And please don’t be sad if someone else gets it, I only have one ^^

  MiniConda Install Issues
Posted by: nixyhustle - 09-16-2022, 10:06 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

Hello,

New PBP owner and user here. Just wanna say loving it so far, and learning so much along the way.

Having issues when I try to install the Mini Conda Arch-Arm Install from their site. I am getting the following error:

Miniconda3-py39_4.12.0-Linux-aarch64.sh: line 413: 60900 Illegal instruction    (core dumped) "$CONDA_EXEC" constructor --prefix "$PREFIX" --extract-conda-pkgs

I tried searching but couldn't really find much. Any idea what it could be? Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks!

  Booting issue for postmarketos (tow-boot)?
Posted by: olyavi - 09-15-2022, 05:38 AM - Forum: PineTab Software - No Replies

Hello,

I have issue to boot postmarketOS on pinetab.

I flashed postmarketos on eMMC and µSD card but the pinetab cannot  boot the os (the camera make "clic" noise).

I think that is linked to the use of tow-boot bootloader by postmarketos & mobian (tow-boot github issue)

I successufully install old postmarketos version (before tow-boot) on the pinetab.

I am wondering if some try to mixe new postmarketos image with old bootloder?

Thanks
