  Tow Boot - How to Flash a New OS?
Posted by: arkadione - 06-08-2022, 07:31 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (3)

Currently, I am running Mobian + phosh on a PP Beta. I have the latest version of Mobian, so I have tow boot installed on the eMMC.

I am thinking about switching to Manjaro + phosh. How can I do this safely while preserving my tow boot boot loader?

I have searched online but can't find a definitive answer for this as tow boot is so new. Most people talking about tow boot online are PPP users.

My Idea:
- flash Manjaro installer installation to sd card
- boot from sd card and install to eMMC
(will that erase tow boot? or cause me boot problems?)

I'm wondering if anybody here has tried to do this? or could offer some guidance on this?

  pinetab buy and general questions.
Posted by: gentili - 06-07-2022, 10:07 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - Replies (1)

hey guys,

so ive been fiddling with the thought oof getting a pinetab for quite some time now.
Do to pine64 not selling pinetabs at the moment i think the next best move of action is to look for a used one.
If anyone is willing to sell there's withjkeyboard (prev. in EU) please PM me.

Second im interested as in how well it performs as an daily driver. Of course do to its hardware limitations only so much can be expected but aside from that how does it handle daily tasks?

best regards and thx for the answers!


  Hotspot and IPv6
Posted by: gosh000 - 06-07-2022, 08:21 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Hi,

my mobile network provider provides both - IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity but when I switch on Hotspot I get IPv4 connectivity only for connected device. I tested with Debian 11 and Android - and no IPv6.

Does anybody know what the problem is or is this a limitation from my mobile network provider?


  Locked out after update
Posted by: bnbcwllc - 06-07-2022, 07:44 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (2)

Just got my Pinephone in the mail. Installed the updates listed and now when I start the phone it shows me the K-gear background and a mouse pointer. I can move the mouse, but that's about it. I can pull up the terminal with a keyboard connected, but unsure how to get back to the GUI.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks


  Working video players?
Posted by: jojuma - 06-07-2022, 01:25 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (10)

Which video players do you use?

I tried some, but the only one working which has a usable UI for me so far is Clapper. But it has annoying artifacts appearing while playing and some minor image errors.

So maybe someone knows about an alternative?


  Anyone yet received replacement sim/sd card holder
Posted by: tckosvic - 06-07-2022, 08:21 AM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Hardware - Replies (19)

My PPP is borked over sim/sd card issues due to multidinous reinsertions of cards into holder.  Doesn't find sim or make calls as it once did.  The sim card is good as it works in PP.

Per the instructions of pinephone, it was stated that they will send you a new sim/sd card holder if you send your order number and a picture of the card to "pinephone support".  Have done that and no response that they will send a new card or that they even acknowledge receipt of my request.  Sent more than a month ago.

I admit that I took the picture myself and did not take phone to repair shop.  I'm not paying $100 to get a repair shop to send a picture.  I might pay them to install the part later but so far no progress on getting the part.  I might even install a new PPP board if those are ever available on PPP parts site.

So, anyone yet received a replacement sim/sd card holder as promised by pinephone?

thanks,       tom kosvic


  PPP, Verizon, and MMS
Posted by: 98cwitr - 06-07-2022, 05:59 AM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (2)

Has anyone gotten MMS working and also on Verizon? I've distro-hopped, tried jmms on Mobian, played with APN/MMSC settings (btw, mms.vtext.com doesn't resolve in DNS), and even tried messing with the modemmanager mms config file (stopping and starting mmsd-tng). Nothing seems to do the trick. This is about the last thing I need to get working to really daily drive my PPP.


  Keyboard support broken in Mobian?
Posted by: MacarioMorenoUK - 06-07-2022, 02:20 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (2)

On June the 6th I apt upgraded my PinePhone CE running Mobian Bookworm after 2 wks. It prompted me to reboot, and when I did the keyboard was no longer recognised, neither as a battery or as an input source, yet the keyboard battery continued to charge the phone itself.

I suspected this was an issue with the update and started investigating; from what I have gathered the keyboard battery is supported via module ip5xxx_power, and the keyboard itself via module kb151. None of these modules are present in my /lib/modules/5.15-sunxi64/kernel subtree, and I the modification date of kernel/drivers/power matches the 06/06 date. 

I understand you can build these modules from source, but I would like to understand why they have disappeared in case this is an issue with Mobian and the maintainers need to be notified. I would appreciate if anyone with a working keyboard could locate these modules and confirm their location.
