  gnome-firmware-updater not found (mirrors)
Posted by: wizardry - 03-22-2022, 08:18 AM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - Replies (1)

I went to install gnome-firmware-updater and apk wasn't there.
I could see it on the alpine packages site.

After some poking around i found the website displays the dl-3 repo but my repo is dl-cdn.

Is dl-cdn not actively updated with the main repo?

Should i change my repo to dl-3 or wait for the dl-cdn mirror to be updated?


  eMMC for Odroid C4 work in PBP?
Posted by: dieselnutjob - 03-22-2022, 04:18 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (6)

I need a spare eMMC for my Quartz64 project so I think I will steal the 64Gb one from my PBP and upgrade the PBP to 128Gb.

The problem is that the only 128Gb ones that I can find are Hardkernel ones meant for Odroid C4.  I am looking at Hardkernel eMMC v0.4 "Purple box" from ebay seller repectech.  Am I correct thinking that this will work just fine in my PBP ?

thanks


  Problem SD card
Posted by: willahughes - 03-21-2022, 09:25 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (1)

Have been having problems booting from a SD card. Is there a some key to press on the keyboard to start the boot process so I can choose SD card. Or do I need to use the terminal? All in all I have been spending much to much time on this. Is there anyone  that can help me on this? Thanks


  Hypervisor-enabled OS image or steps to create one?
Posted by: CoachMarkS6i - 03-21-2022, 04:08 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - No Replies

Greetings,

I was wondering if anyone has a hypervisor-enabled OS image for the RockPro64 (4G)? Or reliable steps for creating one?

Long story: I started on this journey by deciding to create / use a load balancer on my internal network to provide controlled access to my SBC cluster, NAS and Plex servers.  Kemp has a small, free, load balancer which meets my needs, however, it requires a hypervisor-enabled OS.

Short(ish) story: I'd like to get a hypervisor-enabled OS installed and working on my RockPro64 (I'll figure out the rest later).


  Bluetooth sync software
Posted by: adamfowleruk - 03-21-2022, 11:51 AM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (1)

Hi all,

I run the Herald Bluetooth Proximity project (part of Linux Foundation Public Health). This was originally for COVID-19 digital contact tracing app proximity, but can be used for general Bluetooth interoperability too. I've been thinking for a while a mobile app to share information, and eventually to sync data/settings might be useful between laptops/phones of different OS and models.

Would there be any particular angle to make this useful to PinePhone Pro users? I have a PinePhone and have just bought (yet to receive) a PinePhone Pro. It occurs to me that comms between different Pine-Things may be useful.

If there are particular scenarios people can think of do let me know. E.g. FindMyPinePhone, clipboard sharing, initial copying over of settings to a new phone, link to an opensource eHealth wearable and so on. (Note: We have C++, Java-Android, and Swift-iOS libraries that all interoperate).

All feedback welcome. Here's a link to the project itself if interested:-

Thanks,

Adam.

  PineTime implemented with partial of pebble API
Posted by: jandy - 03-20-2022, 08:58 PM - Forum: Development Discussion on PineTime - No Replies

Hello world,

now days I have think about of Pebble API on Pinetime,due to Pebble without touch screen, so I think the UI framework is not suitable for Pinetime, and it is a waste of RAM(framebuffer 2 * 240 *240) using Pebble API,but event service is a good way for applications.

there are serial event service to implemented, such as tick service and other services

check update via pinetime/app/src/event at develop · ck-telecom/pinetime (github.com)


  Manjaro on Pinephone freezes during startup
Posted by: LasVegasLee - 03-20-2022, 06:26 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (1)

I had something like 668 updates to run, and, having run the updates, my phone now freezes at boot with the "K" and the gear displayed on a black screen.

What is the best/easiest way to get this phone booting and running again?


  help or suggestions removing RockPro64 Playbox please?
Posted by: jahway603 - 03-20-2022, 03:38 PM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (2)

One of my friends gifted me a RockPro64 which is encased in [the PlayBox](https://pine64.com/product/rockpro64-playbox-enclosure/) with this [LCD attached](https://pine64.com/product/7-lcd-touch-screen-panel/) in it.

I'm not able to find any help on how to take this case apart (or even put it together) on the web, the forums, or the pine64 websites.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I want to retrieve the RockPro64 from inside and don't need the case or LCD.


  Blueman GUI Bluetooth Network Access Point - fixing Bridging
Posted by: biketool - 03-20-2022, 02:00 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (12)

This post is as much notes for me to look back on as a request for better minds to review my attempts.
(edit) Skip to the bottom post where I have the PAN protocol pairing via Blueman GUI but there is still a problem with getting the network bridge working.

I added the bluetoothpan.sh as per link below and after reviewing I assume the iptables commands in the script will work without editing them.

The problem is the pinephone is not reporting in its bluetooth UUID list that it is available as a network access point.
here is the UUID from my old N900 used for years as a bluetooth network access point

I followed the old N900 PAN script exactly after reviewing it
https://wiki.maemo.org/Bluetooth_PAN
I realize that the package genwall is probably what is doing the work bridging mobile data and bnep0 http://maemo.org/packages/view/genwall/
but not sure where/how the PAN and BT network access point profiles are generated on the N900 but not the Pinephone

Code:
When connecting the PinePhone through the USB cable it creates a network the PC will join. The PinePhone has the IP address 10.66.0.1 fixed but the IP address of your PC will vary. Set up ip-forwarding on your PC and set up NAT on your outgoing internet interface:

sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
sudo iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
DEV=$(ip route get 1 | grep -o 'dev .*' | cut -d ' ' -f 2)
sudo iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o "$DEV" -j MASQUERADE 2> /dev/null || true
sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o "$DEV" -j MASQUERADE

Afterwards, on the PinePhone, e.g., through SSH to 10.66.0.1, you need to set the default route to be your PC's USB network interface, and you need to define a DNS server (here 1.1.1.1 from Cloudflare):

sudo ip route add default via "$(arp -n | grep 10.66.0. | grep ether | cut -d ' ' -f 1)"
sudo resolvectl dns usb0 1.1.1.1
sudo resolvectl default-route usb0 true

When you disconnect the cable without rebooting any device, on reconnecting you only need to repeat the commands on the PinePhone to set up the default route again.
the above from https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php...pc-via-usb still requires SSHing into your phone VS using it as an automated BT net access point.

UFW https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php...g#firewall might work to bridge mobile data to bnep0 but we still have the UUID problem.

and do I need to kludge about with scripting a bnep0?

https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions...157-print/

I dont think so because the

Code:
/etc/udev/rules.d/98-bnep0.rules:

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net",  KERNEL=="bnep0", RUN+="/etc/udev/bluenet.sh"
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="net",  KERNEL=="bnep0", RUN+="/etc/udev/bluenet.sh"

generates the bnep0 device

additionaly the /etc/udev/bluenet.sh script might be a bit wonky

just to note it here a friend suggested to me
>this is why often, folks write stuff like    if [ x$ACTION = x"add" ]; then
>you need to export ACTION = "add"
> if you want to run this script manually
> or
> Action=add /etc/udev/bluenet.sh
> for debugging you may insert a line#2 of    logger "this is /etc/udev/bluenet.sh action: $ACTION"  and see what you get in syslog
> logger "this is /etc/udev/bluenet.sh action: $ACTION"« is also a good way to check if the udev on your target platform maybe defines other actions than "add" for $ACTION
> which might well be the real root of your problem
>arbitrary example (I plugged in a USB memstick) https://termbin.com/m7h7
> mobian@mobian:/usr/sbin$ sudo /etc/udev/bluenet.sh
> will fail, like you seen
> you need
> mobian@mobian:/usr/sbin$ sudo ACTION=add /etc/udev/bluenet.sh

this document probably has everything needed as it creates a PAN for an OpenWRT router
https://elinux.org/images/1/15/ELC_NA_20...0814r1.pdf
including the below
Code:
root@OpenWrt:~# dbus-send --system
--dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0
--type=method_call
org.bluez.NetworkServer1.Register
string:“00001116-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb”
string:"br-lan"

which full circle seems to address the UUID issue, maybe better minds will see the answer in the steps I have taken and info gathered in this post.
