Running Manjaro (new install this week, manjaro build for rockpro64, v21.12).  I do *not* have the wifi/bt card installed



I'm attempting to triage a different failure, but bluetooth messages are all over dmesg.  Since i don't plan on using BT at all, i'd just like to prevent whoever is writing that from loading:

1. some HW present, which at kernel boot would be probed, and udev would later load the module based on HW id's (again, no HW connected AFAIK)
   
2. have an explicit load in /etc/modules-load.d (I have zero files there)
   
3. be an explicit kernel param in grub (nothing in /proc/cmdline)
   

I would like to know if anyone is running PPP from eMMC system memory (not an SD) without major issues.  I think that is a necessary step to be a "daily driver".

What OS/desktop are you using?
How did you install to the system memory; not an SD card?
Any quirky performance issues that you see frequently?

thanks,  I am so looking to move the PPP to my main cell phone.  I want to toss my samsung android asap.

Hello,

I just recently switched from arch to pmos. So far I like it a lot, esp. convergence.
I also just recently received my pinephone keyboard and use it all the time now.

For that reason I would like to have these 2 settings permanently (I change them in the phosh settings app):
1) accessibility -> disable virtual keyboard (I do not need it anymore and it takes up a lot of screen space)
2) display -> set scale from 200% to 150% (makes many apps a lot more useable in landscape mode)

Sadly, whenever I shutdown (in the evening) + start-up the phone (in the morning), these 2 settings are back to their default.

Is there a workaround for this? I am willing to write a script or whatever, this is super annoying to me.

I flashed Manjaro-ARM-kde-plasma-pbpro-21.12 to eMMC from a SD boot as described at https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/NOOB#Flashi..._a_SD_Boot.

After rebooting, my Pinebook Pro got stuck at the Manjaro logo with the spinning circle.

When I press the Esc key, I see the following message, but the shell does not recognize any keystrokes:

Hi,

I  have a question, what is now the most secure option for using PinePhone?

I am using now days a Google Pixel with Graphene OS and Calyx OS, but I want to look now for other options.

What I also doubt about is the full disk encryption, which distro has the best security and encryption?

But is the file encryption from Android not better than a full disk encryption? .. I hope some can help to give a good answer to those questions

Pinephone Keyboard doesnt work unless I push to backcover or display in place where pogo pins are. Do you have annyone same experience? How did you fix it? I am sure that phone is fully in case, I trided multiple times to put out and in, no difference

Has anyone had any success getting bluetooth audio to work in Mobian? I have a couple of Samsung HM1350 headsets that I used to use with my old flip phone. When I connect either one to the Pinephone instead of audio the headset just emits a loud buzzing. For now if I need to use a headset I used a wired one but that's a bit of a pain, and at least for outgoing calls it needs to be plugged in after the call is in progress or the microphone will not work.

Are there any bluetooth headsets that are known to work yet?

Just curious, what is your favorite/must have software for the PinePhone?  Is there anything you use instead of the default applications?  Anything you strip out?

Personally I like to SSH in, so anything CLI/TUI is a bonus.  I like htop, iotop, iftop, mc, nano, bitlbee/weechat, and neofetch just because it's fun.

For the GUI I haven't done much.  I do find the dconf editor to be useful on occasion though.

After today's upgrade, I have no settings icon on my screen.

Does anyone know what I need to do to render it visible again?

Hello. My sound is all of a sudden quiet when i try to make a call. I am running bookworm What do i do?
I'm not sure what i did. Some setting perhaps, or some update?
I have this unmet dependencies error in mobian also..
How do i troubleshoot and fix this? It's just quiet if i make a call.
Thanks you very much.
