Tried several different ways to install Sailfish. But no matter how I try, when writing to eMMC memory it seems that nothing happens and then I get all kinds of errors: - ls: cannot access 'mmcblk2': No such file or directory
- Error: The location 256MB is outside of the device /home/adm1n/Downloads/mmcblk2.
- Error: The location 256MB is outside of the device /home/adm1n/Downloads/mmcblk2.
- Error: The location 6250MB is outside of the device /home/adm1n/Downloads/mmcblk2.
- The file mmcblk2 does not exist and no size was specified.
- mke2fs 1.46.2 (28-Feb-2021)
- The file mmcblk2 does not exist and no size was specified.
- mke2fs 1.46.2 (28-Feb-2021)
- The file mmcblk2 does not exist and no size was specified.
- mount: /home/adm1n/Downloads/root: special device mmcblk2 does not exist.
- mount: /home/adm1n/Downloads/boot: special device mmcblk2 does not exist.
Is it that I don't have the correct permissions? Which I would find strange, because I have really tried all kinds of ways. I used external terminal, I used Jumpdrive and I used terminal from the phone himself. Whatever I do, at the question Which SD card do you want to flash? nothing seems to work anymore
Could it be that I have a Pine 1.0? Have no idea what the differences are between 1.0 and 1.1.
What also struck me is that when I install Manjaro, for example, I cannot install 1 app from the store. For example 'Signal':
First the easy way, install Manjaro, configure it and go to Discover and search for Signal. Once clicked on it, immediately the first error:
signal-desktop;5.43.0-1;aarch64;community: could not find or read package
I ignore that and I press the install button and after a few seconds I get the next error:
Package download failed
There must be something wrong with the writing or things like that. Or do I miss something? Could I hard reset my Pine?

| Update the PinePhone keyboard driver to support missing characters? |

The goal is to run LibreOffice in Posh on the PinePhone. It can be run by typing:
OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome-wayland libreoffice
into to terminal. The GUI cannot be started, the LibreOffice installation prevents the start.
I have the PinePhone keyboard connected to the PinePhone, which works also for the terminal. I tried to type:
OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome-wayland libreoffice
Unfortunately, I cannot print a «_» with the PinePhone keyboard. The characters are on the PinePhone keyboard, but neither control, Fn, Alt, AltG nor the special Pine key works to get the characters to be printed in the terminal.
How can I modify the PinePhone keyboard driver to support the missing characters?

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)
Time:5/31/22 8:47 AM
Baloo is the file indexing and file search framework for KDE Plasma, with a focus on providing a very small memory footprint along with with extremely fast searching.

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
Anjin

| Mute function on calls? |
|

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).

| Second USB3 port as OTG |
|

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":
Code: usb1 {
compatible = "rockchip,rk3399-dwc3";
clocks = <0x8 0x82 0x8 0x84 0x8 0xf7 0x8 0xf9>;
clock-names = "ref_clk", "suspend_clk", "bus_clk", "grf_clk";
power-domains = <0x15 0x18>;
resets = <0x8 0x126>;
reset-names = "usb3-otg";
#address-cells = <0x2>;
#size-cells = <0x2>;
ranges;
status = "okay";
phandle = <0xf1>;
dwc3@fe900000 {
compatible = "snps,dwc3";
reg = <0x0 0xfe900000 0x0 0x100000>;
interrupts = <0x0 0x6e 0x4 0x0>;
dr_mode = "otg";
phys = <0x2b 0x2c>;
phy-names = "usb2-phy", "usb3-phy";
phy_type = "utmi_wide";
snps,dis_enblslpm_quirk;
snps,dis-u2-freeclk-exists-quirk;
snps,dis_u2_susphy_quirk;
snps,dis-del-phy-power-chg-quirk;
snps,tx-ipgap-linecheck-dis-quirk;
snps,xhci-slow-suspend-quirk;
snps,xhci-trb-ent-quirk;
snps,usb3-warm-reset-on-resume-quirk;
status = "okay";
phandle = <0xf2>;
};
};
After that I can see the second device under /sys/class/udc:
Code: rock64@rockpro64:~$ ls /sys/class/udc
fe800000.dwc3 fe900000.dwc3
However the second USB3 device (fe900000.dwc) doesn't work same as Type C port, no device appears there at all (I'm setting it as a mass storage).
So my question is:
is it generally a good idea to use two USB3 ports as OTG devices simultaneously?
If so, what could lack in setting it up?

| How to disable automatic update checks |

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 ..."
