pin for postmarketOS |

I bought a PinePhone 5 months ago. It was horrible.
Worked on it again recently. Was advised to get a microSD card, pick a distro and go.
I chose postmarketOS. Installed it. It asks for a pin. I don't see any docs on having to have a pin, nor, know what it is. Seems I can't do anything without it.
I found 147147 on an old post. That didn't work.
Anyone know what the pin is?

Having difficulty installing PostmarketOS on Pinephone Convergence Beta edition |

Hi all.
I made a reply about this issue to this issue in somebody else's thread started in 2021,
but it might be bumping a thread which is too old.
The original thread is this:
https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=13703
My essential problems are:
- When I decompress and then dd the PostmarketOS image to an SD Card, I cannot boot from that SD Card on the Pinephone.
- Alternately: When I try to directly follow the PostmarketOS instructions for this: It also will not boot from that SD Card.
- When I try to dd an image of "JumpDrive" (PostmarketOSbootloader / boot selection tool developed by PostmarketOS devs) to the same SD Card, this also fails to boot.
This is a BRAND NEW SD card out of the package.
The Pinephone does SEE the SD Card when I run lsblk on the pinephone, so it is mysterious to me why it cannot boot the images when I flash them.
So, I am mystified and must consult the wise oracles and wizards on this forum and hope for assistance.
Further specific details about my attempts and links are below.
Brand new SD card.
I have a Pinephone Convergence Beta edition.
Running lsblk on the phone, it actually sees the sd card.
However, no matter what I seem to try, I cannot boot it to either PostmarketOS as flashed to the SD card, or to Jumpdrive (developed by some of the Postmarket developers).
In the other forum thread:
One of the repondents [MtnSk8] suggested zeroing the first few bytes of the SD Card.
https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=13703
Q.
HOW do I zero "the first few bytes" of the SD card for this operation,
and exactly how many bytes is "the first few"?
1? 2? 8? 16? 512? 1024?
I took a gamble on this from pinephone documentation
[url
https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/PinePh...structions
[/url]
and tried:
Code: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/[DEVICE] bs=8k seek=1 count=4
But have no idea if that's what I am meant to do.
Anyway, this didn't help.
For flashing the image, I have attempted the following:
I tried flashing using standard dd method (having first run unxz to decompress the postmarket.img.xz file)
Code: sudo dd if=postmarket.img of=/dev/sdXX status=progress
and also tried to flash using the interesting method of decompressing postmarket.img.xz piped through dd as described in postmarket documentation below
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/JumpDrive
Code: xz --decompress --stdout pine64-pinephone.img.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk... status=progress
In this case, I think the instructions are indicating doing this on the pinephone itself, but I am flashing it to the SD card using my linux desktop.
So, in the instructions,
...in my case obviously becomes
I have attempted all these methods a few times, after my ignorant attempt at zeroing the first few bytes of the SD Card.
Still no luck or success at all.
Thanks anybody for any help or advice.

My pinebuds have different volume levels. The left is louder than the right
Is there a way for me to reset or adjust their volume levels to be the same?
Thanks

Unable to switch from Wasp-OS back to Inifinitime using GadgetBridge |
Posted by: Bruce Kissinger - 10-02-2024, 07:31 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime

I have installed the latest version of Wasp-OS on a new PineTime watch, however I would like to switch back to Infinitime. I installed Wasp-OS using the latest version of GadgetBridge (v 0.18.0) on an Android phone and the process was really simple. However, I have run into problems trying to switch from Wasp-OS back to Infinitime.
The problem is that when I try to use GadgetBridge to install the Inifinitime Zip files, I get an error from GadgetBridge that states "FW/App Installer - Element cannot be installed". GadgetBridge is successfully connected to the watch via BLE. I've tried a number of different versions of the Zip files, but all return the same error.
Does anyone have advice for how to get past this? Thank you in advance

Searching for a PinePhone Keyboard Case |

Hey there,
I am looking for an original PinePhone Keyboard Case as it is not possible to buy it from the official store (and sadly will maybe never be). If you have one for sale, just write me a pm with your price and location (and maybe a picture) and we will get this going. I am also willing to pay for international shipping.
Thanks!

Some Suspense.... Camerra App |

Ran updates today and noticed that there were system updates as well as the camera app, I am running Trixie on a Pinephone Pro.
Clicked the camera app just to see and unlike usual it asked me to authorize camera use, had a moment of hope before it prompted that there were no cameras found in the system.
Is there any tracking I could look at on the work being done to bring the PPP cameras front and back to use in Mobian Trixie? Searching the Mobian wiki doesn't seem to help me. It also doesn't lead me the the hacks I see mentioned to trick the system into using the cameras on the PPP.

Is it at this time possible to set a custom lockscreen and/or desktop/background on mobian Trixie?
There is the option in settings but it didn't change anything except under some loading apps where the load screen is not present.

No HDMI Video - Anything To Check? |

Hello all, I am working on a RockPro64 that seems to have a non-functional HDMI output but I'm trying to see if there's anything else for me to check before I RMA the unit. Everything else seems to be working, for example I can load the minimal Armbian image to it, boot it, and then SSH into it and see that the computer itself is working. But at no point is there ever any video output. There's no boot screen visible either. I've tried two different HDMI cables on two different monitors, confirmed these cables/monitors work with other devices, tried to hook up a USB-C hub, etc.
I've tried a few other images as well, LibreELEC (originally I planned for this to be a media center so this was the first one I tried), a few different Armbian images including the XFCE Debian 12 version, the Cinnamon Debian 12 version, the Ubuntu Gnome version, and DietPi. I can't verify that any of these work, although I am pretty certain that these have SSH access disabled by default and without video there's no way for me to enable that to check on these distributions. I also used the "flash_spi" image here https://github.com/sigmaris/u-boot/wiki/...oot-to-SPI to make sure that was working properly.
I also tried to add the kernel module from this guide https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/ROCKPro64#N..._on_Debian but it seems like my problem is happening before the kernel loads since there's no video output at all when it boots in the first place.
Since I can boot and SSH into the minimal Armbian install, is there anything I should check before I send this unit back? I don't currently have a serial cable but hope that since I can SSH into a terminal I won't need one for looking around at anything.

Developing on Mac (M3) |

Hi,
I just bought PineTime and started working on my own watch face.
I managed to compile and run LVGL simulator for Mac with M3 (https://docs.lvgl.io/7.11/get-started/pc-simulator.html)
I tested my watch face with the LVGL simulator and it works as I would like it to work. Next step is to try to get my watch face running on the InfiniSim simulator.
I managed to compile the InfiniSim simulator on Mac but it won't start. These are the error messages I get when trying to run the compiled simulator on mac.
Has anyone managed to run the InfiniSim simulator on mac? Any ideas what's going on? I know I might be able to build InfiniTime project itself and upload my new code on my device but I'd feel much more safe if I can verify that the code runs on the simulator first.
