After installing the last Dev image on a SD and after entering the PIN this is the error I get. Does sny body know what does this file do? After closing the  window, the normal desktop appears on the screen and I can keep on going but cannot understand the error and it's conscuences 

We are sorry,baloo_file closed unexpectedly

You cannot report this error, because baloo_file does not provide a bug reporting address

Details:
Executable:baloo_file PID:3,810 Signal:Aborted(6)

I have tried endless OS images, on both SD cards and eMMC, and am simply frustrated.

When I fire up a Debian buster image, it boots to the installer, gets all the way to the end, and then... Dies when it attempt to boot into the os for the first time.

The Armbian and ayufan images get to 'Flattened Device Tree blob at 01f00000' and 'Booting using the fat blob at 0x1f00000' and hangs.

There is no white LED at all as well.

Seems so strange as it grinds though so much doing the installer for Debian Bullseye.  

Hoping this is just my own stupidity, and I am missing something obvious.

Thanks for the advice and guidance.

Cheers

Hello All,

Will try again here.

Do any of the Pinephone releases have the mute mic function working?

If not any idea when?

So far I have tried Manjaro Posh. and KDE with no luck. I am off to Mobian next
Really did not have to run down the entire list of every release.

I see various release charts with features that work or do not work in various places.
Is there one official go to place for this with status listed?

I also saw "we have Pulse Audio to thank for this".
Are there any known verified workarounds?


thanks!
sbt

Update (well Mobian did not go well, not trying that again, almost bricked my phone).

Hello everyone!

According Wiki the USB3 Port on RockPro64 could be used as an OTG port.

I'm using Type C port for OTG device pretty succesfully, however there is a demand on having two OTG Ports simultaneously.

Till now I've managed to switch USB3 port into OTG mode with editing device tree over dtedit command where following string was set from "host" to "otg":

I installed LibreOffice and found the the menu font was tiny and the title bar was missing. These issues combined made the menus well-nigh impossible to use.

Installing libreoffice-gtk3 fixed both of these problems making the menus usable even with screen scaling set at 100%.

Is this white Pinepower version a fake?

I have just received a new PinePhone, and the first time I connected it to the Internet, it immediately showed me that (software) updates are available. The phone didn't install the updates before I asked to do so, but still, I was actually quite disappointed with this behavior, especially in a privacy and security oriented phone. I don't want the phone to do anything on the Internet before I explicitly request to do so. Even if it does not install the updates, just checks for them, this still transfers data over the Internet, which may be undesirable in certain cases.

This time I installed the updates (which also created quite a severe bug, see below), but I don't want to have any automatic update checks in the future.

So, my first question is: how do I disable automatic checks for updates on the default OS (if I understand correctly, this is manjaro)?

Second, more details about the bug: sometimes, when I turn off the screen using the button on the side, and then turn on the screen again, instead of a PIN prompt, I see a text message (that does not fit on the screen in full also) and no interface elements at all. I don't know how to continue working with the phone from that point except for removing the battery and inserting it again (which is not good for the OS, I guess).

Some pieces of the message that are visible on the screen:
"... and unlocking is ..."
"... to a virtual ..."
"... and execute the ..."
"... unlock-session ..."
"... session by ..."
"... running session ..."

I had purchased a PPP and used it a few times before coming from the conclusion that I'd rather just sell it and buy a regular Pinephone for a number of reasons. I won't bore you with them, just saying the quality is at least B+ Grade. Has Towboot installed, which makes choosing to boot from SD or MMC easy as holding volume + or volume - during startup, and the battery lasts so much longer. Has a screen protector installed perfectly and really has no problems whatsoever.
Comes with the cable, and the original box.

(First of all, I don't know the differents between PinePhone 1.0 or 1.1, but I choose 1.1)

I run the flash-it.sh script and typed 'raw' to write image to the folder containing flash-it.sh script. What I have now is;
u-boot-sunxi-with-spl-pinephone.bin 741KB
sdcard.img 32,7MB

But when I flash image to eMMC, nothing seems to happen. Did I do something wrong in the Terminal? Or do I have to use the Terminal inside the phone?

Hi all,

I am a blind Linux user and developer. I want to create my own smartwatch and was looking around and found the pinetime.
I have the following queries.
1. Can I update the pinetime without interacting with the screen? The watch does not appear to have any accessibility options at all. I did read the getting started section and that is where I found references to interacting with the touch screen of the watch.
2. Can I connect a speaker to the pinetime? I am not referring to a Bluetooth speaker but something small that I can enclose in the watch case. My idea is to have synthetic speech on the watch.

Regards
Pranav
