I read somewhere that someone found a way to make pinebook pro hibernate using a function in KDE plasma? Can anyone help please? The inability to sleep or hibernate is what is keeping me from really enjoying this machine.
Using PBP version Manjaro "Rolling release" (how does this differ from stock really?)

I check for updates daily, and keep up with all updates.
Today there was a rather large install/update set of 300 packages total.  It took around an hour.
It included a new u-boot.

After the install I rebooted, and it appeared to work.  Aisleriot seemed to fail, but that is a minor thing.  I installed the u-boot update to the EEMC using the usual commands.  After that, on reboot it failed and locked at "script failed, continuing" at a => prompts and the status light yellow.  It did not continue.

Booting form an old SD card to Manjaro, I installed the OLDER u-boot to the EMMC in case I had a bad u-boot image, but that did not change the behavior.

Has anyone experienced this? 
I am looking for a way to recover so I do not have to migrate my home off to the SD card and update that.

I am working on https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineCube#Pi...s_a_webcam section of PineCube wiki.
I am trying to get USB 2.0 port  to reach maximum bandwidth with OTG port (Hi-Speed - 480 MegaBits/second) on PineCube device. Currently it is performing as Full-Speed (12.5 MegaBytes/second) usb port.



I have measured the speed and performance using iperf + g_ether kernel mod + OTG port (details below)


Official datasheet of PineCube (https://files.pine64.org/doc/datasheet/p...180123.pdf) tells that the port can perform up to 60 MegaBytes/second or 480 MegaBits/second.



UVC gadget (g_webcam module) is also performing at Full-Speed mode.

1. How can i reach high speed on USB 2.0 port. (probably too general)
   
2. Could the issue be be related to USB drivers or Device Tree set up?
   

Does the step counter log the number of steps in a period of time in InfiniTime or another OS. If so, does it also log time stamps for when the steps were taken? If not, would it be possible to stream the step counter data to one of the companion apps and log it using the app?

Thanks

I have been using Lollypop since I started using my pinephone on Alpine/postmarketOS and it is also part of Mobian Phosh.
Lollypop is probably great if you spend the time learning how all of the add-ons work, it seems like a cool player but I think it has too many nonstandard options enabled by default.
I don't care to worry about extra functions, i was happy in the early 2Ks with a used Diamond Rio 500, volume, skip forward and back, pause, play and shuffle/order play.
I didn't need more and still really don't, XMMS(Audacious) with winamp skin is still my favorite desktop player.
If you consume music like this maybe Amberol is for you vs Lollypop.
Amberol requires your music dir every time(it includes your SD card) it loads so I dont think it has a .conf file, then it takes a few 10s of seconds to scan and be ready to play.
I assume Amberol is in early dev as it doesn't work well from the lock screen, skipping works but pausing removes the media control form the lockscreen and requires unlocking to access and restart play.
I feel like Amberol(once the lockscreen pause issue is solved) would be great for playing a directory over car bluetooth where interaction beyond pause and skipping is a safety issue.

A side issue, l wish that with all entertainment multimedia apps incoming telephone/VOIP calls app or the OS would trigger a multimedia pause command when ringing the ringtone for incoming calls.

Hello,

If I setup a SSH connection simply using the password, with a numerical passwordof 8 digits it will be very easily crackable right? If I let port 22 open on the pine phone, and I connect to another wifi than my lan, or to 4g, will my device be vulnerable to brute force attacks?

Hi , all


I didn't originally purchase an RTC battery holder with my Rockpro64 , honestly not knowing the benefit of having one. Now I would like to get one , however to purchase the one fro the pine store incurs a courier charge of £30 in the UK.
I thought I would be able to find loads of alternative options for such a simple device on ebay or amazon ( although of course I would rather get one from the pine store ) , but it seems a replaceable RTC battery holder is a rare thing.

does anyone know of anywhere I can get an alternative, or possibly know the name of the connector so I can "DIY" a standard AAA holder and add the connector ?

thanks in advance

Hello

I would like to create a how-to file. If there is a usb-ethernet adapter available, then the steps could look like this:

source files
bullseye

• firmware-brcm80211 holds some wifi firmware -- is this required?
  
• raspi-firmware holds brcmfmac43456-sdio.bin
  
• firmware-misc-nonfree holds rockchip firmware
  

... is what I have to pay now (after receiving the parcel).
just wanted to mention it for documentation

I'm unable to play audio through an HDMI cable connected to an LG TV using a usb-c adapter from QGeeM. Video works fine.
I've tried both pulse audio and pipewire. I'm running Manjaro.

Does anyone else have this issue?
