Is it possible to ssh over USB? I found this very useful with the remarkable 2 since it avoids having to deal with dynamic IP addresses etc. and you can use tools like rsync which don't seem to play nicely with a USB storage mounting.

I just upgraded my pinephone to the last testing via apt as always, and now the full disk encryption (calamares) passephrase prompt is looping with a "bad option" error. So I can no longer boot.

I have not investigated yet, just wanted to alert you.

I bet I can save myself by mounting the eMMC over USB, hopefully last time I had a similar issue I wrote about it: https://mdk.fr/blog/black-screen-at-boot...phone.html

Update:I tried another apt full-upgrade and a dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-6.6-sunxi64 over USB mass storage / chroot, no luck, but it seems a tad different, it now reads:

panel-sitronix-st7703 : ... midi_dsi_attach failed (-517) Is host ready?
pinephone-keyboard: Failed to read device ID: -6

Update: I noticed in my upgrade that phosh-osk-stub had an upgrade, so I downgraded it with `dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/phosh-osk-stub_0.44.0-1_arm64.deb`, but no luck, still no keyboard at boot to decrypt my root fs

Hi,

I have burnt the latest stable PBP image to an sd card, but after insertion and booting the display stays black (even though the light is on).

The output of lsblk (on my laptop) looks like

```
mmcblk0                                      179:0    0  29.5G  0 disk 
├─mmcblk0p1                                  179:1    0  228M  0 part 
└─mmcblk0p2                                  179:2    0  4.1G  0 part  /run/media/key/pmOS_root
```

which could be a problem maybe - there is no boot partition on mmcblk0p1 (I remember there was when recently I had flashed a manjaro image...)?

BTW for burning to sd I used the standard command,

```
dd if=some.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=4M status=progress

```

It would be awesome if someone could help!! Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to invest in a Pine64 device but need some guidance on which one would best suit my needs. I’ve been exploring the PinePhone, PineTab, and some of the SBCs like the RockPro64, but I’m unsure which one would be the best fit.

Here’s what I’m looking for:

• Primary Use: I need a device mainly for lightweight development (Linux scripting, Python, and some web-based tools).
  
• Portability: A mobile or tablet form factor would be ideal, but I’m open to SBCs if they offer better performance for my use case.
  
• Customization: I’d love a device with solid community support and the ability to install various OS options (Ubuntu, Manjaro, python online certification etc.).
  
• Performance Needs: Nothing too demanding, but I want a smooth experience when using a Linux desktop environment or running basic development tools.

Any ideas about how one might install the Signal messenger app on the Pine Note?

Dear all,

I would like to have a PinePhoneMax with a 8-9" screen.

In my opinion a 13" tablet (with sim-card slot) seems to be interesting,too.

What do you think about my suggestions?
