Using nano and clicking on CTL and then X the program do not exit. I seems that the line of CTL is not working. Check and let me know. Remember Manjaro SO

Hi there. I'm new.

I see what appear to be conflicting reports of what I need to do in order to boot an img from sdcard. 

Seems like it's some combination of:
a) erase emmc
b) hold the power button during boot
c) hold a reset button under the back cover
d) just write an img to an sdcard, pop it in and restart

Can someone please enlighten me? Thanks!

Hello,

Selling my PBP 64gb ANSI in excellent condition. Barely used and never left the house. Currently with OpenBSD 6.9 but can install any OS of preference. Also including NVMe SSD Interface Adapter not installed and never used. As a bonus I can include the serial console cable to install OpenBSD or access u-boot.

I can ship anywhere in the world but outside the EU there will probably be customs duty.

For example, shipping within the EU is about 25€ and the USA about 75€. I will refund the difference after shipping.

I will send it extra protected with the original bubble wrap envelope that came with.

Price 200€ plus shipping.

The wiki notes that the DC Out is a "direct connect from DC-In".

Does this mean I can supply power through this connection?

I am looking to hookup a power supply to multiple boards and don't have any barrel connectors on hand.

I got errors on installation. I uninstalled it. Any one with solutions? Also impossible to install opensnitch

Hello.
I'm thinking of buying a single board computer from you. But some things bother me. Have you removed TrustZone or similar technology? Have you cleared minicomputers from proprietary firmware like Pinephone?Hello.

In QUARTZ64 only software in development stage or a hardware also ?

To QUARTZ64 or rock64 possible to setup any linux with appropriate architecture ?

I have emailed info@pine64.org with these questions and received no response.

ii installed axolotl on my pinephone but when i run it from terminal i get

ACCEPT TCP 127.0.0.1:38895: USE OF CLOSED NETWORK CONNECTION WHILE TCP ACCEPTING

the port number may vary

 i installed electron and gconf as i found in a post but same error

 if it matters the sim is a "car sim" but wifi works

ezik

i installed the axsolotl-bin aur package

I have troubles with wifi which looks like hardware problem. I have PinePhone Brave Heart edition.

I have tried to run different operating systems, but

- Manjaro-ARM-phosh-pinephone-beta20.img.xz

In attachment is output of dmesg from postmarketos.

And of course I checked hardware dip switch on the back side of pinephone (and tried to turn it off and on again).

I tried to reload module, but it didn't helped:

Hi
could be possible with PineTime to send real time heart rate sensor data through bluetooth connection directly (without phone) to a local server ?

Thank you

So the Pinephone Pro arrived and am really rather pleased with it. Manjaro with Plasma Mobile is nice to use, looks good and the phone responds well. Haven't had a lot of time to play around with it just yet but thought it might be worth mentioning a couple of things if you are expecting your order to arrive soon:

tldr: -With a 2A USB charger the battery charging indicator will show but the battery will not charge and the phone will slowly drain.
      -Updating the base installation of Manjaro with Plasma Mobile may not be entirely straightforward if you assume that a quick 'sudo pacman -Syu' will do the trick.

UPDATE: The 2A charger problem seems to be specific to the Pinephone Pro with the initial pre-loaded Manjaro Plasma OS on the eMMc.
- I'd been trying out Mobian from the SD Card (with the most recent updates applied) and thought I'd just check that the charger still did the same thing as before.
- It now charges fine with that same underpowered charger, so it looks like it's a software issue.

UPDATE2: Now that I've managed to update the Manjaro Plasma pre-installed image on the eMMc, the 2A Charger charges the Pinephone Pro - so it looks like the Pinephone Pro is not quite as picky about chargers once properly updated
- if you're Manjaro Plasma pre-installed image is not updating properly (using 'sudo pacman -Syu' in the terminal) and your phone is not charging, then troubleshoot the updating issue first before your battery runs out!


Chargers
I have quite a few old USB phone/tablet chargers that I use regularly and just assumed that they would work fine, maybe they'd just charge slowly, but unfortunately they are not up to the task - they'll happily charge a Nexus 5 phone and Nexus 7 tablet but I kindof forgot that technology has moved on since 2013

I'm pretty sure that the Nexus 7 charger is 5V and 2A but even with the screen off the battery slowly dwindled and had me worried that there was something wrong with the hardware.

Of course it states in the 'Pinephone Pro User Manual - Quick Start Guide' that "The Pinephone Pro should be charged using a 15W (5V 3A) USB-PD power adapter. Charging at a higher voltage may result in damage to the device." but I didn't pay too much attention to that, just happy knowing that I wasn't going to be damaging my device with my low powered charger, but they don't mean 'for best results use a 5V 3A charger' they mean 'use a 5V 3A charger'

Fortunately I have a half-decent laptop with a USB-C port, so I bought a USB-C to USB-C cable at the supermarket down the road and have been able to charge it with that until I order a decent modern charger to use with it.


Updating Manjaro
There were about 312 updates when I first switched on the phone and connected to Wifi. The 'Discover' application told me about the updates and so instead of using the Command Line equivalent of 'sudo apt update' for Manjaro I gave Discover's Update function a try but it threw up some errors.

Unfortunately, running 'sudo pacman -Syu' from the terminal threw up some errors as well (something to do with PGP Signatures and 'unknown trust'). I tried a bit of 'sudo pacman -Syyu' and also 'sudo pacman -Syyuu' for good measure but to no avail.

There is probably a better way to fix the issue directly but I was poking about in the terminal and found a program called 'pinephonepro-post-install' which sounded interesting and after running sudo pinephonepro-post-install it seems to have generated some trusted keys and then let me update using 'sudo pacman -Syu' without issue.

If anyone has any suggestions for a better way to get updates working on the pre-loaded Manjaro/Plasma system, then it could be useful to let others folks know so that they can easily update to the most recent version of Manjaro and Plasma Mobile and test it out on their new Pinephone Pro.


Shutdown
Not sure why this happens but it seems that with my Pinephone Pro, if it's plugged in to a charger then it will start up automatically. Even if it's the underpowered charger that doesn't charge the battery.

Pressing and holding the Power button for 8 seconds will shut the phone down
-A long press of the power button will bring up the Shutdown, Restart options in Plasma Mobile too - shutdown works from there: looks like it has stalled for a little while but then shuts down nicely.
'sudo shutdown now' in the Terminal also works similarly.

BUT if the charging cable is plugged in (even if it's not giving enough power to charge the battery) it starts up again immediately after shutdown.

This may be specific to my Pinephone Pro, but it seems like at the moment it isn't possible to charge the phone without the phone switching on. It might be different when I get a suitable charger, but I'd be interested to know if anyone else is experiencing this same behaviour with their Pinephone Pro.
