All the cable function ok when I connect my external USB c NVMe drive enclousure.

Hi
I have just installed a 128Gb eMMC in my PBP, and now I would like to install both Manjaro and Debian (with 32 bit userspace) onto the same eMMC with a boot menu.
I think that I already know how to write a boot menu in uboot.
What I don't understand is how kernels will work.
More specifically both Debian and Manjaro use an "Image" file for the kernel.
I presume that the "Image" file is under package management control, and so I can't have two "Image" files in the same boot partition which are controlled by two different package managers.
Also, I do know from messing with other ARM64 systems that it is possible to have a Debian userland with no kernel package installed at all, so not in control of the Debian package manager.
Could I use the Manjaro kernel, under control of the Manjaro package manager to also boot Debian 32 bit userland?
If so then that would be a good solution.
Thanks.

From my experience when the PinePhone keyboard case is turned on, it will provide power to the phone but the phone's USB-C port will be disabled until the keyboard is powered off (I don't know if that's what happens to everyone else but it happens to mine LOL).

My question is:
If I plug the USB-C dock into the PinePhone's USB-C port and I provide power to the USB-C dock with its USB-C port, do I have to worry about accidentally turning on the keyboard and blowing up the phone?

I know using both the PinePhone's USB-C port and the keyboard case to provide power is a huge no-no. I said that the PinePhone's USB-C port is disabled when the keyboard is powered on but maybe it's only data that's disabled and not power, so if I I'm powering the USB-C dock, and I turn the keyboard on by mistake it might not be good. Obviously I've never tested it.

Quote:Can I plug something to the phone's Type-C port?
No! When the keyboard is connected to the phone, it powers the phone by internally supplying 5V to the VBUS of the phone's Type-C port. So if you connect another USB power supply to the phone's Type-C port, it's like connecting two chargers to the phone by cutting and splicing their cables. (Likely not a good thing, or something you'd consider doing if it was presented to you that way.) If you connect some USB peripheral there that only consumes power from the port (like mouse, unpowered dock, etc.), it may work (in theory), but only if you make *absolutely sure* the phone will not enable its power output to the USB device! No distros ensure that at the moment. When you plug USB periperal it's the same as plugging in two chargers into the same port, without additional software support that doesn't exist, yet.

finally after more than a year of waiting, official support for aarch64 in OpenArena! https://github.com/OpenArena/engine/pull/64 is merged back.

I can finally clean up my hack I made for OpenArena(-git) AUR package

Just a bit of a shame that this one still has to stay alive: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libxmp-aarch64-git don't think that https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libxmp-git will be modified

So I have not been able to use the microphone for calls on any distro of Linux on my dev edition PPP, so I installed the android test image to try to see if it work there. It did not work in the android test image either. Is this normal?

I ask because I have read various people saying calls worked for them on reddit or on this forum. Mic is not working at all for me, just trying to figure out if I need to replace my PPP or if this is just the current state of the device.

Hello,

From the sxmo dialer, calling 111 (Japan's test dial) does nothing for a while, then I get "missed call 111" and a "QMI Protocol Error: IncompatibleState".

From the `dev/ttyUSB2` terminal, `ATD111` just says "NO SERVICE".

(pastebin set to 2 week exipiry. I stripped the timestamps and excessive `<<<<<<` to make it fit into 512kb but I just realized this forum takes 32MB attatchments. wow.)

(I really hope I'm not exposing my phone number in a non-human-readable way. I removed the ones that I found.)

I would like to know why is imagemagick preinstalled on  the mobian image? Does it have any underground function?

Does anyone know of a way to make a shortcut that can be clicked and will just launch the hotspot?

I've got the settings configured, but it's 2-3 clicks/touches and ideally I'd like to just have it launch with one

The battery in my Pro seems to go just fine in my Pinephone but it doesn't work the other way around. It is very tight when I have tried getting my Pinephone battery into the Pro. Tight to the point that I feel like if I pushed really hard I could get it in there but almost certainly couldn't get it out without using some kind of tool to leverage it. Is this everyone's experience?

With the Pine64 Store not showing any signs of ever restocking the Pinephone battery pack anytime soon, I was wondering if anyone had found a true drop-in replacement for it? 

TIA!
