Geary quit downloading email from my Gmail account on both Manjaro and Arch, reporting a keyring error and asking for a password.  Neither my login password nor my Gmail password was satisfactory. It used to work. I renamed Default_keyring.keyring in .local/share/keyrings. But no joy.  Then I tried sudo pacman-key --init and then sudo pacman-key --populate. But still no joy. Advice?

Crap. I made it worse. Now I can't get into Arch anymore. I never changed alarm's publically published password. It must have been the pacman-key commands.

Hello.

I am thinking about buying a PinePhone, but I have one question. It looks like the firmware for the wifi used in PinePhone is closed-source. There are wifi cards with open-source firmware (for example, in debian, there is package firmware-ath9k-htc with such open-source firmware). Why is this card not used in PinePhone instead?

When I tried to update Manjaro I get an error; 
fail to prepare transaction

conflicting dependencies: -tip and power -profiles-daemon are in conflict

Any suggestions? 

I can't get the sd or USB drives to mount or be recognized.

I was going to try out PostmarketOS on my RockPro64 today. Burned the image to an SD and it boots fine. It doesn't have a DE installed by default, which is fine, so I installed Mate. Question is what command do I use to get it to use Mate instead of booting into a console ?

Forgive me if this has already been addressed but I have been searching everywhere for a week or so and haven't found a solution that was provided that works in my case.

Got my PinePhone Pro Explorer Edition and have been excited to try it outside of some funkiness as to be expected with a phone in this state of its like. The frustrating thing is everyone apparently can easily swap SD cards with new distros and explore! I can not.

I installed balenaEtcher and downloaded Ubports/Arch Phosh/Jump drive to various SD Cards. Tried this process from a Windows machine and also a Linux machine. When inserted into the PinePhone Pro the device doesn't boot/light up/vibrate or give any indication it is being turned on.

It appears to be turning on because to get the PinePhone Pro to turn on after the SD card is removed I have to remove/reseat the battery then press the power button.

When the card is inserted after the phone is booted I can run "sudo lsblk" and I can see that any of the test drives are available.


Any help would be much appreciated.

So I have my PPP in the keyboard case, and the keyboard is working :-)

I have connected the keyboard to a power supply.

The battery indicator at the top right of the menu bar is showing not charging (63%).

"cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/status" shows Discharging
"cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity" shows 63

"cat /sys/class/power_supply/ip5xxx-charger/status" shows Charging
"cat /sys/class/power_supply/ip5xxx-charger/capacity" shows 81

So my assumption is that the keyboard case is charging itself while the phone is running on it's internal battery - would that be correct?

My train of thought here is that if a device has a battery then by definition it has a UPS built in. I'd like to get this running on the PinePhone but I figure it applies to almost all products with a battery. I also think it'd be cool to see them over on the list at https://networkupstools.org/stable-hcl.html as well.

My goal is to get NUT-Monitor on my main Linux box to show my phone's battery information. I just have no clue about how to do that, so any help or advice is appreciated.

Possibly using the dummy-ups "driver" to read the battery info directly might work. Though I don't know where that information is stored or how it would even parse that data.

I'm using Postmarket OS PhoSh though and have NUT installed on that. I can at least make it work as a client, which is still cool.

I'd like to be able to take a short maybe 10 second video using the Pinephone's camera. There seem to have been a few individuals who figured out how to do this, but they used very different methods and none of them seem to be currently functional:

Reddit post by UJC_theguy, who was able to use ffmpeg to record a video. Trying his method (with /dev/video2 since that's what my camera shows up as), I get the following:

So ... I ordered two of the WIRELESS CHARGING ADD-ON CASE, one for my original PinePhone and one for my Pro.

My "Qi" compliant charging base has an indicator light that tells me something has successfully engaged the field, both of the charging cases will light the light, and I can measure 5VDC on a couple of the pins of the "flexible fanout" (that's what we call the Kapton with traces in the aerospace industry), however neither of the phones will charge.

Am I doing something wrong?  My concern is that the flexible fanout is not indexed, not held down, it just sort of flops around in the breeze and may not be engaging the pogo pins correctly.

Is anybody else seeing anything like this?
