  Is Manjaro Plasma stable for anyone?
Posted by: projectcato - 02-18-2022, 01:29 AM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (120)

So far, I'm finding Manjaro Plasma completely unusable. The first, most obvious problem is the longer the phone's been running, the longer it takes to wake up. If I put the battery in at breakfast, it's minutes to wake by lunch. I'm looking around at the other options to try this weekend. I tried to stick it out with Manjaro because it was picked as default for the Explorer edition.


Edit: just to be clear, this is for the Pinephone Pro, not a general statement on the state of the OS, and yes, I know it's still early days.


Information Keyboard Duplicate Keypress Fix
Posted by: RjraymondDuplicate - 02-17-2022, 11:52 PM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - No Replies

Hey guys. Just found out that the following command:

xkbset bouncekeys 20

Will fix  the duplicated keypress glitch that's been bothering me for so long. Question:

1, was this bothering you?
2, did this fix it?
3, is this the first time you've seen this?

I didn't know about this and it took me a long time to figure out this fix. If no-one else knew, I just think we should let everyone know. If it's not news, I'll shut up.

  prevent bluetooth from loading (manjaro, no wifi/bt card installed)
Posted by: flounder - 02-17-2022, 12:10 PM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - No Replies

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:





Code:
$ dmesg
...
[  11.202048] Bluetooth: HCI UART driver ver 2.3
...
[  13.143625] Bluetooth: BNEP socket layer initialized
[  13.512037] Bluetooth: hci0: command 0x0c03 tx timeout

Code:
$ lsmod | grep -i hci
hci_uart              147456  0
btqca                  24576  1 hci_uart

$ journalctl -u bluetooth.service

Feb 16 21:08:10 mypc bluetoothd[612]: Stopping SDP server



what's the RIGHT way to disable this in manjaro?  Looks like there are several obvious modules I could blacklist, and the `systemd` service.  I'm new to Manjaro, looking for the "standard" / maintainable / stable over rolling upgrade way.  It also seems confusing to me that the `bluetooth` service isn't failing, or at least immediately exiting, given there is no HW present.



Thanks!

One of the reasons I'm asking how to do this correctly, rather than just blacklist (presumably would prevent these ringlog messages) or disable with systemctl, is that I'd like to understand the modules are loaded in the first place.

I'm no linux expert, but have been daily driving for some time.  My limited understanding would expect that (for the bluetooth/bt* modules to be loaded, they would have to be ONE of
  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)

Are there other ways that those modules would get loaded automatically at boot?


  R U running from eMMC -- If so how?
Posted by: tckosvic - 02-17-2022, 10:24 AM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (19)

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.

  Settings are reset after reboot
Posted by: lacriz - 02-17-2022, 08:31 AM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - Replies (5)

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.


  Pinebook Pro bricked after flashing eMMC
Posted by: User 24592 - 02-17-2022, 07:55 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

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:

Code:
:: running hook [udev]
:: Triggering uevents...
:: running hook [plymouth]
:: performing fsck on '/dev/mmcblk2p2'
ROOT_MNJRO: The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 15205335 blocks
The physical size of the device is 1763287 blocks
Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!


ROOT_MNJRO: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
        (i.e., without -a or -p options)
ERROR: Bailing out. Run 'fsck /dev/mmcblkp2' manually

*                                           *
*********************************************

I tried booting from the SD card again, but it does not seem to work as I end up with the same message as above.

Please help!


  Most secure option for phinephone
Posted by: bookwurmx - 02-16-2022, 07:09 PM - Forum: General - Replies (10)

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

  Bluetooth audio support?
Posted by: Zebulon Walton - 02-16-2022, 02:48 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (5)

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?
