  Can't boot when SD card inserted
Posted by: 0daysfordays - 09-04-2022, 03:40 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (3)

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:

Code:
Lambda /etc # parted /dev/mmcblk1
GNU Parted 3.5
Using /dev/mmcblk1
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.
(parted) p                                                               
Model: SD SD256 (sd/mmc)
Disk /dev/mmcblk1: 256GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:

Number  Start   End    Size   File system  Name     Flags
1      1049kB  256GB  256GB  f2fs         primary

(parted)

I've formatted /dev/mmcblk1p1 as f2fs, and added a line for it in /etc/fstab, but if I reboot the Pinebook with the SD inserted, I get a black screen, and the power LED stays red. If I boot with it removed, it boots from eMMC just fine, and if I re-insert it quickly enough it's mounted as desired.

This is a minor inconvenience, though, so I'd like to get to the bottom of why it's happening, or at least figure out how I might be able to fix it.

I'd previously flashed (using dd) the latest Armbian image to this particular SD card that I'm using, so prior to making the partition table, I zeroed out the first MiB to attempt to get rid of any sort of U-Boot data.

So, what do I need to do to have my Pinebook Pro boot to eMMC in the case that the inserted SD card isn't meant to be bootable? (I'd still like to be able to "rescue" my system by removing the one containing the home partition and inserting a bootable SD in its place.)


Question Problem with booting from SD card. Several errors
Posted by: LittleStone - 09-04-2022, 02:34 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - No Replies

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:





Quote:[0555641] lima ic40000.gpu: dev_pm_opp_set_regulators: no regulator (mali) found: -19

[9.936683] debugfs: File ‘Bluetooth Playback’ in directory ‘dapm’ already present!
[9.956676] debugfs: File ‘Bluetooth Capture’ in directory ‘dapm’ already present!





I'm running the OS from the SD-Card. I tried to flash other SDCards with Manjaro and other OSes and either I get similar errors and the OS does not boot or if it does boot after a long time, there are other issues. The OS from the eMMC runs without a Problem, as far a as I can tell. So I think there is something messed up with booting from SD in general.

Thanks for your help!


  Tow-boot on Pinephone beta edition
Posted by: saddamus - 09-04-2022, 02:39 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (10)

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.

  Enable 'upcoming-events' on Mobian/Phosh
Posted by: Korac - 09-03-2022, 08:21 PM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (3)

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!


Heart Now better battery life or power management?
Posted by: KC9UDX - 09-03-2022, 07:52 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (5)

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


  Can't get to usable. Hardware issue?
Posted by: chootsmagoots - 09-03-2022, 07:51 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (2)

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


  Auto start application on Phosh login

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.
