Hi,

when I plug in the pinecil in the pinepower, the latter shows 5.1V 0.0A and the pinecil stays off.
Worried the pinecil was bricked, I tried a regular usb-c and the pinecil comes on like no problem (except for the DC-LOW message)
I updated the firmware for a laugh, succeeded, but the pinepower fails me again.

I tried another cable, but that changed nothing.

Any help, tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated !

thx  S

Hello there,



If you haven't updated EG25-manager today, I recommend to wait for it. Phosh is crashing frequently after the updates from today and the Pinephone is nearly unusable in this state.



It might have been another part of the latest updates today (20220922), but EG25-manager seems to be the obvious origin of the crashes.



I'm trying to get logs...



Cheers



Edit2: logs are posted.



Edit3: Fix posted by @jsch

Edit4: Fixed.

It seems that there is a patch from dylanvanasscge for Bluetooth HFP ready for pluseaudio. Is this available for arch yet, and if not when can we expect it?

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…
