  PPP caller hears themselves
Posted by: nibblefaster - 06-28-2022, 12:05 PM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (8)

Hi forum,

I have been trying to use my PPP explorer edition with latest beta Manjaro Phosh. I am finding that whoever calls me just gets bombed with the sound of their own voice.

I have tried playing with the volume levels of mic and speaker, both with gnome settings, and pulse control. I even tried setting the volume all the way down for everything and it still happens.

Is this maybe a hardware thing?

  on screen keyboard woes
Posted by: vusra - 06-28-2022, 02:31 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Recent updates broke our on screen keyboards.  The top row composing of the arrow keys in Console windows disappears. While in portrait mode the on on screen keyboard consumes the majority of the screen.  Do we have fixes?

  Pine A64 does only boot with Android 5.1
Posted by: Dude - 06-27-2022, 06:09 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (6)

Hi,

recently, i got the Pine A64 2GB. I bought a SanDisk Ultra Class10 32GB sdcard to flash the OS on it.

I tried a bunch of OS's but none of them were booting.

After reading a couple of threads in this forum about the power that the Pine needs to run, i bought a matching charger and a cable. With that, i was able to boot Android 5.1. But none of the other OS's like Remix_OS, Armbian and others boot.

To flash the sdcard, i use Etcher for windows 10 attachted to a 2.0 Cardreader thats connected to an 3.0 port. That flashes the OS about three times faster than the 2.0 port. I mention that because i dont know if the port might cause the problem due to the speed the 3.0 port provide. Like, the OS flashes too fast or something like that. I'm a bit desperate.

In general, i'm fine with android but i would like to try different OS's.

Is there something missing or am i doing something wrong?

Thanks for your help!

  Mainline linux

Is running mainline linux possible and usable on Quartz?

Last time I checked (some time ago), Rockpro64 seemed to be the way to go for people looking for a fully libre (aka blobless) solution.


  OMV - Updates and Plug-in install broken
Posted by: MotoTom - 06-26-2022, 01:21 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - No Replies

Not sure if this is the right place but I just did a fresh install of stretch-openmediavault-rock64-0.9.14-1159-armhf.img on my Rock64. Now I can not update the system or install any plugins using the OMV Control Panel. I was able to update the system using Putty but i never had to do this with previous install (stretch-openmediavault-rock64-0.8.3-1141-armhf.img). Below is the log file from my most recent attempt to install shellinabox

Code:

  KB: Using bus powered USB peripherals with the pinephone keyboard mounted
Posted by: docsunset - 06-26-2022, 12:50 PM - Forum: PinePhone Accessories - Replies (9)

From megi: https://xnux.eu/pinephone-keyboard/faq.html#safety

Quote:Can I plug something to the phone's Type-C port?

No! When the keyboard is connected to the phone, it powers the phone by internally supplying 5V to the VBUS of the phone's Type-C port. So if you connect another USB power supply to the phone's Type-C port, it's like connecting two chargers to the phone by cutting and splicing their cables. (Likely not a good thing, or something you'd consider doing if it was presented to you that way.) If you connect some USB peripheral there that only consumes power from the port (like mouse, unpowered dock, etc.), it may work (in theory), but only if you make *absolutely sure* the phone will not enable its power output to the USB device! No distros ensure that at the moment. When you plug USB periperal it's the same as plugging in two chargers into the same port, without additional software support that doesn't exist, yet.


I'm wondering if anyone knows, or has advice where to ask around, about how to "make *absolutely sure* the phone will not enable its power output to the USB device." Is this something that can be achieved through sysfs? Or a udev rule? Or would it require hacking on the kernel? Has it already been done in any distros?

I've just installed Arch ARM (https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch) and am hoping to use the pinephone with a teensy 4.1 microcontroller attached via USB along with the keyboard, but I would like to avoid frying either the pinephone, teensy, or keyboard.


  Software keyboard question
Posted by: orbital - 06-26-2022, 11:02 AM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (1)

Hi folks,
For most apps, what is the underlying mechanism that causes the software keyboard
to appear? For instance, when it comes to Qt apps, people caution that
it is a desktop GUI library, so does this imply that e.g. editing a Qt text field
will NOT cause the software keyboard to appear?
Thanks.
