  Manjaro ARM new version? And hibernate/ sleep mode
Posted by: regretfulpineuser - 06-20-2022, 02:48 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

I saw an announcement for new Manjaro ARM version but accidentially closed the window, where can I find this page again? Does this update fix the mousepad?

Also while doing some research I saw that one person was able to get hibernation to work using some sort of KDE function in Manjaro ARM KDE version, can anyone give me some pointers on this?


  pinephone pro boot: kernel image not aligned on 64k boundary
Posted by: kmerfeld - 06-20-2022, 01:08 PM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (2)

Hello, I was trying to install the custom modem firmware (https://github.com/Biktorgj/pinephone_modem_sdk) on my pinephone pro,
but I think I borked something. whenever I boot I get something like https://pastebin.com/q6ksLzih

This happens on both emmc and sd card, though I wiped emmc over tow-boot's USB Mass Storage mode at some point.

I've tried booting with postmarketos and manjaro, and get similar results. Any pointers on what I can do?


  How to make manjaro sleep or hibernate? KDE?
Posted by: regretfulpineuser - 06-20-2022, 12:56 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

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?)


  Manjaro PBP stable update 2022-06-19 bricked
Posted by: wpeckham - 06-19-2022, 09:12 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (2)

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.


  USB 2.0 OTG port slow performance
Posted by: disctanger - 06-19-2022, 09:11 PM - Forum: Development Discussion on PineCube - No Replies

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.

armbianmonitor tool output (detailed logs) : http://ix.io/40o2


My questions are:

  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?


  [question] How does the step counter log data?
Posted by: arock - 06-19-2022, 06:30 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - Replies (1)

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


  Amberol Mobile Music player(flatpak)
Posted by: biketool - 06-19-2022, 07:16 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - No Replies

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.


  SSH brute force attacks
Posted by: user641 - 06-19-2022, 04:53 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (13)

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?


  RTC battery holder options
Posted by: GreyLinux - 06-19-2022, 02:47 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - Replies (2)

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


  install debian on pbp
Posted by: jsch - 06-19-2022, 02:29 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (7)

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

Code:
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-arm64/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/firmware.pinebook-pro-rk3399.img.gz
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-arm64/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/partition.img.gz


bookworm
Code:
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/bookworm/main/installer-arm64/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/firmware.pinebook-pro-rk3399.img.gz
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/bookworm/main/installer-arm64/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/partition.img.gz

create img file
Code:
zcat firmware.pinebook-pro-rk3399.img.gz partition.img.gz  > complete_pbp_image.img

write installer on micro-SD
identify device name of micro-SD
Code:
lsblk
NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
...
sdd      8:48   1   7.4G  0 disk
└─sdd1   8:49   1 130.5M  0 part

write to micro-SD
Code:
sudo dd if=complete_pbp_image.img of=/dev/sdd bs=4k status=progress oflag=sync

boot pbp from micro-SD
boot and install on eMMC

firmware
add non-free
Code:
sudo sed --in-place -e 's/ main$/ main non-free/' /etc/apt/sources.list

install
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firmware-brcm80211 firmware-misc-nonfree raspi-firmware
  • firmware-brcm80211 holds some wifi firmware -- is this required?
  • raspi-firmware holds brcmfmac43456-sdio.bin
  • firmware-misc-nonfree holds rockchip firmware


If no usb-ethernet adapter is available, what are the necessary steps?
Would it suffice to download them, copy them to an usb stick and mount the latter on pbp?
