  Any Advantage to Running TLP?
Posted by: DerpABerp - 05-09-2022, 08:58 AM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - No Replies

I've been looking for ways to optimize my experience with my PPP, and I was wondering if TLP offered any real benefits at this time. I was looking at the documentation, and it doesn't seem to have any code for optimizing ARM CPU clock speeds. But does anyone know if anything else it does might help? If so, does anybody have any tips on configuring it for the phone to get more battery life?

TLP - ArchWiki (archlinux.org)

  soquartz - ssh available?
Posted by: gwentech - 05-09-2022, 07:26 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Quartz64 - Replies (3)

Hopefully the right place to post soquartz threads:

The Problem
Upon bootup, it does a dhcp and grabs an IP address.  Otherwise, no evidence of a pulse [no HDMI output, seemingly no console via serial output].  Is there a way to ssh in?  If so, what are the credentials?  rock64\rock64 and many other obvious combinations fail.

The Setup
I have a soquartz module on a rpi4 module IO carrier board (https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/cm4io...asheet.pdf) from a SD card, image 'rk3566-soquartz-cm4.dtb.img'.

Open to other ideas on how to get to console.  Thanks for any suggestions.


  Plasma Mobile navigation bar scaling is not working
Posted by: Yst - 05-09-2022, 05:10 AM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - No Replies

I set the scaling to 1200%.(I made a mistake!)
And when I set the scaling to 200%, the navigation bar is smaller than before and there is a blank space on the right side.
Which setting can fix this?
   


  Selling Pinebook Pro (ISO) + nvme from Sweden
Posted by: DavidL - 05-08-2022, 04:31 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (5)

Good condition ISO layout Pinebook Pro with nvme adapter and suitable low power 256 GB SSD (+ serial cable for the microphone jack).
SPI was flashed once and currently boots OpenBSD directly from nvme. 

I do not have enough time to tinker with it. If you do, it is all yours for 130 EUR + shipping.

My other hobby is drinking coffee. If you have some kind of lever espresso machine to spare we could perhaps arrange a trade instead?


  Manjaro update, no boot, just noise.
Posted by: wilmarcdw - 05-08-2022, 06:41 AM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (2)

I recently updated Manjaro Plasma and now I have an unbootable phone that just vibrates loudly.

Video posted on Mastodon here...

PPP sounding like hair clippers.

Don't know if it's a lost cause or not. Any ideas?


  Manjaro 5.17.5-1 Keyboard stopped working
Posted by: Yst - 05-07-2022, 09:57 AM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (7)

I upgraded my system using pacman and my keyboard stopped working.
The battery in the keyboard appears to be working.

How can I fix this?

  Looking for a Pinetab [EU]
Posted by: TommasoP - 05-07-2022, 04:34 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - No Replies

Hi guys,
i'm searching for a Pinetab(keyboard included), it seems that it's not becoming available, so if anyone in Europe who can ship to Italy has one (possibly not much used) to sell, I would be happy to buy it!

Thanks,
Tommaso.


  postmarketOS fixed battery issues
Posted by: Deadladyofclowntown - 05-06-2022, 06:29 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (1)

I recently got the PinePhone convergence, and it had a lot of the common problems with Manjaro Plasma, including the battery not charging fully and only holding a charge for a few minutes unless plugged in. Battery drained overnight even with phone turned off, as reported by a number of people. I got the phone, fooled with it for a day, then got updates via the terminal; after that the phone not only didn't charge well but it would crash instantly when unplugged. Obviously, this wasn't working.

So I decided to try the postmarketOS (release v21.12 for PinePhone), put it on an SD card, loaded it onto the phone, and bang: not only a great lightweight os that actually works, but it fixed the battery issues. Now the phone charges 100% and most importantly holds a charge for several hours. Don't know if anyone else has had this experience, but it sure worked for me. Worth a try if you are having those battery issues, and can use a more minimal os.

  Shipping Alternatives for USA customers
Posted by: FOSSagent0 - 05-06-2022, 12:24 PM - Forum: Shipment Related Discussion - Replies (4)

I was looking into buying a ROCK64-2GB to create a retro gaming system but I am currently put off by the huge $24 shipping costs to California, USA. Will there be low cost shipping alternatives in the future?


  Struggle to install LibreOffice on the PinePhone
Posted by: Peter Gamma - 05-06-2022, 12:16 PM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (50)

I am struggeling to install Libre Office on the PinePhone.

Martijn Braam showed that it runs on Postmarket OS:

It runs on Fedora:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2ZyZo1r5KY&t=326s

I tried to install it manually:

but I gave up due to complicated file formats.

Sudo apt install libreoffice as in this instruction failed in PostmarkedOS:

https://linuxhint.com/install-libreoffic...inux-mint/

LibreOffice should work on the M10 with Ubports:

https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3199/so...-on-m10/22

but new files can only be created by the file manager, but not by LibreOffice.

I tried to install LibreOffice on Ubports PinePhone, but I get an error message:

https://forums.ubports.com/topic/7727/li...1860526898

Does someone use LibreOffice on the PinePhone or Ubports? If someone buts a«buggy» LibreOffice in the App store. I would be very happy with a buggy solution. It would save a lot of time.
