Hello…
Following a postmarketOS upgrade (21.12 to 22.6) which went wrong, I wiped the bootloader on the emmc by mistake.
And now my pinephone pro no longer boots (black screen)

What can I do ?

How are you supposed to change your keymap? I found this
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/index.php?...land.29.3F
..but it does not explain how to find out what any of these variables mean, or how to find the keymap syntax I am trying to use.

setxkbmap apparently isn't a thing on wayland and there doesn't seem to be any alternative.

I discovered setup-keymap just abusing autocomplete. Running it as root, I select colemak and it seems to work perfectly, no errors and its very promising. Until you try to type and nothing has changed.

I decided the only thing left was to recompile the pinephone-keyboard firmware. I made a hardware remapping to colemak and then while reading the flashing debricking instructions, decided it would probably be better to just ask in the forums before I destroy my equipment

The only thing I can think of left is kmonad but I would have to recompile it for ARM, and the instructions are frustrating me because there isn't anything called stack in the repos and I am hesitant to go through the process of porting an entirely different package manager just to compile whatever nix is, surely there is a simpler way but if not alright I just want to know for sure.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Back when the keyboard came out, there were some hoops to jump through to get access to all of the symbols using, such as £-+, etc.

Eventually it was fixed properly, but now it seems that recent kernels have broken it again.  There are fixes for other OSes (Mobian, Arch), but I can't find anything for PMOS.  I'd be happy just to downgrade the kernel for now, but I can't find any instructions for that.

Anyone else encountered this, and solved it?

Using PMOS +Phosh, on OG Pinephone.

I don't take pictures very often but it can be handy sometimes. Today I needed to use the Pinephone to take a few photos and Megapixels kept crashing most of the time, either during launch or when taking the picture. Finally rebooted the phone and got it to take some pics and although it appeared to work there was nothing in the Pictures directory. Finally I found that for some reason Megapixels is now placing  the photos in my home directory instead. (It didn't do that the last time it was used.)

Since Megapixels tends to flake out I thought I'd give Pinhole ("Camera" application) a try since I saw it mentioned while searching the board here. Pinhole launches but does not display anything from the camera, just a black background. Running it from the command line yields the following diagnostics:

Hello PineTab folks,
I bought a PineTab a couple years ago because I try to put my money where my mouth is on consumer Linux alternatives to shifty Big Tech offerings. I wish people had more choice in phones and tablets operating systems than we do. While it is very cool, my PineTab has gone unused for too long for a variety of reasons, and I'm not a developer, just a Linux newbie who dreams of having devices that work for PEOPLE, not for Silicon Valley, as respected individuals. Not for privacy-invading marketing departments. 

I listed my PineTab on eBay yesterday and I hope I've described it accurately and fairly. If you want to take a look, it's here:

I'll stay on this forum for the week in case anyone has questions. Thanks for reading this.

I have the casing of a older pine phone but the main board and microphone has been removed and I'm green . I would like to know if somebody would help me out with a part number to a set that I could at least use phone maybe text so I could get started. The main use would be to download music.

Hi,

I have problems getting started with this phone.
At first there were problems loading this phone altogether.

Now it actually loaded the operating system, but writes:
can't run /sbin/getty I/0 error

The OS is PostmarketOS

Hi,

I've got my PinePhone, but there seems to be a problem.
For the first time I did everything fine, but I suppose the problem was that I put an inactive SIM card, for the first time the phone didn't load and it write smth like "login' at the top of a black screen. Nothing else happened.
Then I perhaps did the wrong thing - I didn't know how to turn it off, so I took the battery out.
Since then the phone only loads to a factory test.

What should I do next?
Sorry, I'm a newbie here. I actually thought the phone would have the OS installed and I wouldn't have to do smth extra.

Best.
T.

Here's how we build an IoT app with Zig and LoRaWAN ... And run it on PineDio Stack BL604

Has anybody gotten Waydroid working yet on the 5.18 kernel on the Pro? Currently running Arch Phos.
I have heard of success on the OG Pinephone
