I recently installed Arch with GNOME 42 on my PinePhone and it's been working quite well for me, the only issue I've had is that it can't rotate into landscape mode via the Settings application.

I'd like to switch to landscape so that I can use GNOME with the keyboard attachment; is there some way to do this manually?

Thanks!

The error message is 

I have tried all the left Shift + Fn + all the F1-F10 keys and cannot find a "-". The use of F5 or F6 produce the "~". The use of F7 or F9 produce the "_". The use of the F8 or F10 produce the "+". Finally, the use of F1 or F2 produce the "|". Everything else on the keyboard appears to work as well as the charging and disconnect of my pinephone from charging using the keyboard battery. Am I overlooking something and why is there redundancy in some of the symbols produced using the F keys? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

sorry if this has been covered already. been using manjaro phosh feb release no issues til
today while trying to place a call it hung and then I could no longer open the calls app, place
or receive calls. I successfully flashed using jumpdrive but after it wont boot. if i place the
jumpdrive sd back in the phone i can see the jumpdrive splash on the phone but the emmc
is not visable any longer on my laptop. any ideas?

Which is better to have on there right now? Which is most polished etc?

Tried to open the app recently on my Pinephone to get apps... called discover or something iirc, and it crashed the program every time I tried to start.  I don't think I've updated the phone yet though (at least not manually), so maybe that's why.  But I don't know how either (new user here).

I had the phone charged to a large degree, then got occupied with some other things in life.  Came back several days later to use it... and it wouldn't turn on. 

While this seemed odd since I thought I had a decent charge on it... I plugged it into the charger with the red charging cable it came with. 

With my Apple phone, seems like I would get some kind of indicator on-screen within a few minutes that the phone had started charging, and I would soon be able to power it on.  However, with the PinePhone Pro Explorer edition... I can't seem to get any such indication it is charging, and it certainly does not power on even though it's been charging there for... idk 10 or 20 minutes I would guess?

What could be the problem here?

Just got the phone like within the last few weeks and haven't used it that much.

EDIT: Is the Pinephone Pro hardware so low quality my phone died after like... a week of usage? Unbelievable.

Hello, sorry if this has already been discussed but I could not find anything on here or the official sub reddit regarding stock. I was just curious if there is any public info on the stock or restocking pace of the Pro. I have been watching the store for about a week and am just curious if there is any info on when the pro will be back in stock.

Thanks!

Just some observations concerning HDMI.
I have Arch Linux on my PPP and have noticed issues concerning power and HDMI - USB thumbdrive.
What I did was unplug the power from my ICZI dock and then used a background image for lock screen and app list
and then rebooted with HDMI plugged in but no power cord attached to dock.
The result was HDMI works (background image applied) and mouse keyboard work as well.
Drawback - no power cord can be attached. 
As soon as I plug in power to dock I lose mouse, keyboard and monitor and USB.
Hope this helps some folks.

Edit May 19,2022
The PPP works perfectly with Pine dock but not the ICZI.
Edit 2:
Replaced wall unit for USB (for BlackBerry and Moto E4) with a quality unit with multiple plug.
I suspect that the ICZI dock might now work.

The back cover of my Pinephone has two cracks and I'm afraid it won't make it much longer.

A replacement only costs $5 -- but shipping to Europe would be an additional 30 (!) Dollars.

Is there any way to circumvent these exorbitant shipping costs, i.e. are there any resellers or collective orders etc?

(To be fair, I this were an iPhone, I'd probably be pleasantly surprised if Apple only charged me $35 (and not 120) for a comparable spare part; but it seems absurd to me that these simple, cheap parts are all shipped individually for $30 each...)

Hi all:  I did a search on xrdb for this group and came up empty before I posted.  Did a cursory search of other groups in PINE64.   I did find some information. I have installed xrdb and tigervnc.  I tried xrdb with windows10 remtoe desktop connection was not successful. I have a RockPro64 with Debian installation.  I installed everything about 3 days ago, so my guess is that I have the latest Rockpro64 version of Debian installed.

If there is previous post on how to configure Debian + RockPro64 and use windows 10 to remote log into rockpro64 please direct me to the post.  My guess is many of you are doing this, and I am just not configuring things correctly. 

The error messages I get are :
sending login info to session manager, please wait...
login successful for display 11
VNC started connecting
VNC connecting to 127.0.0.1 5911
VNC error - problem connection
some problem

Thanks in advance, and please excuse me if I missed an answer to this post already.
