Hey folks. Been enjoying messing around with my new PBP this past week. Manjaro out the box has been an enjoyable experience... However, I took a dive into trying Kali out on this & have ran into an issue. Cant seem to get internal wifi working on Kali SD boot or on emmc boot. Have attempted to list available interfaces but Kali seems to think I have nothing available. Am I potentially missing something? On a side note: this is my first time trying these systems on arm & have enjoyed things so far, issues aside.
Any suggestions on what I may be overlooking? Could it potentially be firmware/ drivers do not exist on my install? The image I am using is the current one offered on Kali official site for PBP.
tl;dr: I bought rp64 in like 2021 and did few tests on it mainly running Armbian and NixOS to see if everything works during which it was powered on for around 6 hours max with everything working fine as far as i can remember [https://github.com/Mic92/nixos-aarch64-images/issues/3].
Then i put it in a box without power for around a year and now i am trying to use it for further development, but i can't get USB and Ethernet to work on armbian, debian, DietPi and Manjaro images which leads me to suspect hardware damage -> Is there a way to diagnose what/if is wrong with it so that i can fix it? (I have experience with fixing and fabricating hardware i can do microsolder, reballing and make simple PCBs)
The flash-it script is now working again for both sdcards and emmc. After an update to eg25manager several problems have been resolved, chiefly an incoming call now actually wakes the phone up. The display behaves correctly, wakes up immediately even after deep sleeps. Call audio is not great and the camera doesn't work at all - apart from that everything works, updated to 4.4.0.58.
I have a new Pinebook Pro (August 2022 run). It works fine in all other respects, but I have had zero luck with it recognizing 5GHz wireless networks with the included Manjaro distribution, a new Fedora installation, and a new Manjaro installation. The 2.4GHz wireless service works fine, if a bit slowly. The only way that I have managed to get 5GHz wireless to work is with an external RTL8812AU USB device (which worked immediately without any necessary configuration).
Is this a known issue? If so, is it a hardware problem or a software one? Am I missing a firmware update?
Just got my PineBook Pro today. Booted up fine with the default 64gb emmc. Tried to install the 128 GB Emmc module and won't boot, just red power indicator. Is there a specific image I am suppose to use? I hadn't had any problems with the 128 emmc previously. I have the Rockpro64 SBC and no issues with 128gb emmc module using USB and Balena Etcher.
Just got a model B and tried to do some verification. I have tried the following 2 images, but none of them is working correctly:
Manjaro-ARM-minimal-quartz64-b-20220808.img.xz: Serial output is entirely corrupted. It seems the system is booted into the OEM setup mode, and whenever I press the enter key it will immediately return some junk back. I assume it was asking for some question and won't take an empty response as answer, so it was asking again.
Armbian_22.08.0-trunk.0114_Quartz64a_jammy_edge_5.19.0.img.xz: No image for Model B from Armbian, so this A image has to do. The serial output is less corrupted with some recognizable words but far from a clean output. It is in a boot loop so not usable.
The serial cable and settings works correctly on a Radxa ROCK 4 so this has to be the board's issue right? (Right?) I tried to replace the DC power supply with another one with no avail since I think there might be some noise from the ground plane. They are 2 prong design though.
My PPP running Phosh 0.20.0beta3+4+gd4728aea-1 on Manjaro ARM 22.08 and connected to Pinephone keyboard does not switch off when using "Power Off".
Instead it restarts. When I shutdown from the terminal I get the same. Without the keyboard the behaviour is normal and it shuts down.
Is this a know issue or perhaps I'm doing something wrong.
I'm a volunteer firefighter. We use dual alarm so the mobile phone is just a backup. I now use my pinephone as a daily driver and usually do no longer carry an android phone with the alarm software around.
So i was thinking about forwarding the alarm notification to my pinephone (and ideally other Linux devices because the PP still isn't really reliable). I do have a solution where the Android device sits at home and the notification of the alarm app is forwarded via email (i use Macrodroid to do this). But it takes time for the email to arrive so this solution is far from perfect (i still have to figure out how to forward the full notification text, too). The ideal (?) solution probably would to use something like gotify but i have no idea how to feed that software the info from the alarm app notification.
So, please, can anyone think of a solution to forward notfifications from an Android phone to Linux devices in real time (or at least as fast as possible), ideally using my Linux server so i don't let anyone peek into the confidential messages? I would prefer not using SMS and the alarm app will not work under Waydroid as it needs google play store to obtain the information needed to register with the server.
Hey all,
Just received my keyboard.
It looks awesome.
I plugged it in and nothing on my manjaro install with plasma
I though maybe manjaro was not supported like pmOS so flashed across to that with plasma and nothing.
I checked the docs and the guides which ellude to it being an auto thing.
I can see the battery charging indicator in pmOS and if I push any harder on the pogo pin area I am going to break my screen.
I was reading some of the forums and reddit and with latest kernel there was issues? Is this an order 'latest' and we should be good to go?
I checked about the firmware ie kernel or users pace but based on the docs saying that it should already be supported and just automatically I came here in case I am doing something wrong.
is sleep supposed to work on the manjaro arm image?
I have installed the latest Manjaro KDE for PineBook pro 22.06 (5.18 kernel) and am using tow-boot 2021.10-004.
I have tried external mice, pressing all keys, the power button, touchpad etc. but the only thing that makes the pbp turn on again is holding the power button to completely turn it off and pressing it again to turn it on. Am I supposed to install anything (like patches) or change the config?
if anyone has any ideas on how to fix sleep, I would appreciate it.
