  User name and password change?
Posted by: Taur10 - 06-02-2022, 01:14 PM - Forum: Arch Linux on PinePhone - Replies (4)

This may sound like an RTFM question, but the post install instructions say to go to settings->user, then click on the one user and change the password.

Problem is that there's no user section in settings, at least in Arch Plasma, though it does have a lockscreen pin setting, but that doesn't work. There are instructions for changing the password via terminal, so I'll prolly use that, but I'd kind like to change the user name as well, since using the default prolly isn't the most secure thing to do.

So, for someone that's never need to change, add or modify a user post install, how does one do that, or rather, how does one do that here, or is it just the same as any other Linux system (I figure there's plenty of instructions online for that)?


  Armbian has been released!
Posted by: ArmbianForSBCs - 06-02-2022, 11:23 AM - Forum: News - Replies (22)

Armbian 22.05

Highlights:

  • Thousands of hours have been invested to stabilize supported board images
  • Hundreds of Linux kernel and user space related bug fixes completed by the Armbian team
  • Added support for new boards
  • Established new Maintainers

What’s New:

Our first priority is to support and enhance the Community. To that goal, Armbian releases updates and bug fixes from our Contributors on a regular basis. We are excited to add support for the following new boards:
  • DevTerm A06
  • Orange Pi R1+ LTS
  • Radxa Rock 3A
  • Radxa Zero

And to announce new Maintainers and movement to supported status the following boards:
  • ESPRESSObin
  • Radxa Rock Pi 4

A complete list of bug fixes and updates are linked below.

Community Call to Action:

As an Armbian Community member or user you know that we support many different single board computers, with each release requiring a significant investment of time, effort and money. While most Linux distributions can create a single build and then release their distribution, we must test our releases against many different hardware platforms which is much more time consuming and makes providing consistent stable images more challenging. We are able to develop new and updated releases due to the significant contribution of time from our Maintainers, developers and limited donations.

At present our funding and Community time contributions allows us to complete one medium sized project per year related to our tools such as the Build Framework or our configuration tool along with bug fixes, support for new boards, etc. Clearly this level of support, while appreciated, does not allow us to complete many of the outstanding issues or improvements needed or requested by the Community. Accordingly, we believe we are at an inflection point, where in order to move forward and address the Community’s needs, Armbian needs to transition to a new business model. One where growth will require us to acquire additional funding before we can address many of the larger issues.

How can you help?

Time: For those who want to contribute time, please consider becoming a board Maintainer of one of the many boards that Armbian supports.

Money: For those who can help monetarily, please consider making a donation.

Hello All,

As Pine64 boards make up a good amount of supported Armbian boards, our media team wanted to get an update out to the Pine64 Community.  If this is the wrong place for this announcement someone on the moderation team please reach out and we can find a better place for it.  Otherwise, we will continue to update you here in this thread as new releases are put out.

Have a great day!


  PineTime Stuck in DFU Mode
Posted by: Eesha Barua - 06-02-2022, 09:44 AM - Forum: Development Discussion on PineTime - Replies (1)

Hello all,

I've so far successfully flashed Wasp-OS OTA to my PineTime from Infinitime using nRF Connect, and this time I wanted to go back and try the latest version of Infinitime.  

After following this tutorial from the wiki and attempting to flash the reloader zip reloader-infinitime-recovery-0.14.1.zip, I have been stuck in DFU mode. nRF Connect freezes at 100%, and the log received an error for GATT connection timeout. I researched online and my issue seems consistent with what this tutorial warned ("Don't do this [update reloader zip] before updating the bootloader, otherwise your PineTime will freeze at the end of the process, and you will need to wait for the battery to go flat") 

For now, my device is stuck in factory reset mode with the pinecone, start message and arrow. Is my problem that I uploaded the reloader zip before updating the bootloader? How can I fix this?

Thanks for all your help!

  Support says "regulator" on the SBC burned out; how to fix?
Posted by: dmos - 06-02-2022, 02:20 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - No Replies

- I plug in the pine64 5amp power supply (checked with a multimeter that the power supply outputs 12 volts),
- no green light on the rockpro64 comes on, and no other lights;
- no booting;
- 0 peripherals connected.

I asked support about it, said that it's the "regulator" that's burned out. My warranty's expired.

Is this something I can repair/replace? I'm willing to buy a desoldering kit and replacement electrical components. I do have pine64's soldering iron.


  Bookworm Navigation Enabler Script
Posted by: biketool - 06-02-2022, 12:01 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (2)

Before my upgrade to Mobian Bookworm I had a working navigation system able to use the satellite receiver to provide a fix to several meters and I was able to use Pure Maps and Gnome Maps for driving assistance.

Since my clean wipe and upgrade I followed the instructions on the wiki(please document the working fixes you find in the forum on the wiki!!) https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=location but currently do not have working satellite navigation, that is already being solved in other threads.

My thought is that since the Pinephone user community can not directly control the direction Mobian is going or what makes it to the repos we could have a series of moderator endorsed community tested fix-it scripts hosted and stickied on this forum to do things like enable navigation as well as return to stock Mobian settings.
A community built script would not take much effort and would be extremely transparent while taking away the difficulty of users skipping steps in a wiki guide or other errors; being a forum post users can comment directly to the effectiveness of the script and if Mobian upgrades break the script.
Using a community script also makes troubleshooting easier as we can with reasonable confidence know the steps a user has taken and can thus mostly rule out user error.

  Lost my second display
Posted by: WEF - 06-01-2022, 12:35 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (5)

Hi,
Just updated (Shipped Manjaro, Firefox, etc.) and now my second display is not seen in display configuration and does not work anymore. It was working and had been for months. Set up is through the pbp docking station. Was working with HDMI (except no sound), now does not work through HDMI or serial cable. Anyone know how i can get this working again? Display configuration settings are totally greyed out as if there is only a laptop screen.

Like i said this was working literally 15 minutes ago before i did the update (that came out on 5/31/2022 i believe).
I have rebooted and plugged and unplugged and any simple things i could think of.

Thanks in advance for any ideas-


  New keyboard issue
Posted by: sandspur - 06-01-2022, 04:04 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (30)

After an update using the graphical application with Mobian my mechanical keyboard does not work. The on-screen keyboard does work, however.

One of the updated files had something to do with the keyboard.

If anyone has experienced the same problem and can offer a suggested fix please do so.
