| PinePhone Keyboard |

I just got my PinePhone Keyboard and it is a wonderful little computer now.
But I am over my head with setting it up.
I have searched around and found some information like the wiki page.
My first issue is the pine key, it does not do anything and I cannot type -
The other issue is setting up the user-space driver. The wiki has a link to get it but there is no way I can see to download when I go there.
I would really appreciate any help.
Thank you
Silas

| trouble switching window managers |

I'm running Debian 11, based on mrfixit's image. The current desktop environment is MATE and I'd like to switch (purely personal preference). I've installed both i3 and cinnamon, but can't figure out how to switch to using them. There's no button to switch on the login screen, which is what the internet keeps repeatedly telling me to do.
I dug around in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf but nothing there seemed to have any effect on window manager; also I borked lightdm somehow so it couldn't start. I've since purged and reinstalled lightdm.
Here's some further info, please let me know what else I can provide to be helpful:
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
Code: $cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager
/usr/sbin/lightdm
$ls /usr/share/xsessions
cinnamon.desktop
cinnamon2d.desktop
i3-with-shmlog.desktop
i3.desktop
lightdm-xsession.desktop
mate.desktop
$update-alternatives --list x-window-manager
/usr/bin/i3
/usr/bin/marco
$update-alternatives --list x-session-manager
/usr/bin/cinnamon-session
/usr/bin/mate-session
TIA.

| PinePhone running Mobian - Malware extraction? |

I have a pinephone that has specific Malware on it. I’m not sure where to look. Could be modified firmware or software within the kernel. I know it affects the display in a few ways. It extends the desktop viewable area remotely. It also causes the display to flash in a matter like inducing a seizure.
Any help is appreciated

Hello everyone!
Mobian weekly update.
Well i just release one thing when i charging the pinep.
When i connect to my pc 0.5 A. normal.
When i connect to charger i get 1.5 A ok. the charge can delivery up to 2.5 A. no QC.
When i connect the dock and connect the charger i get 2 A. the same charger.
I tested with another charger up to 2 A no QC, same result.
Mi question. is this normal?
Is this the correct behavior? Why when i connect the charger directly i dont get 2 A?
Thanks!!

Hi, I have the 32/3gb pinephone. Came with manjero on it.
I first tried ubuntu, I was unsatisfied with its speed and it's default repositries. Being new to the phone I wasn't wanting to add to it.
I installed mobian to the emmc with encryption. I thought I was finally happy with this phone, untill I got a call.
Nobody can hear me. I tried several calls it's like the mic is muted. I tried 3g and 4g all toggles are on.
I'm going back to ubuntu cus atleast calls worked. Is there anything I can do? I'd rather use mobian.
Thanks.

| Keyboard causes Pinephone brick? |

When I connected the keyboard to my Pinephone, the keyboard didn't work after booting up PostmarketOS 21.12 SXMO. Then after rebooting, the phone hasn't worked again, it's hard bricked. Has this happened to anyone else?
The LED goes from red to amber to white, the phone vibrates, then turns off. I've tried booting off eMMC, a different SD card, disconnecting the battery, and nothing works, the phone is 100% dead.
I wonder if I got a bad unit, or if this happened due to some HW/SW interaction with the keyboard battery.

Constant RockPro64 PCIe SATA Issues |
|

Howdy all,
I got a RockPro64 (4GB model) a while back and intended to use it as a NAS/Plex server.
Some info:
Running: Armbian Buster (Linux 5.10.63-rockchip64)
With: OpenMediaVault 5.6.21-3
I have had constant on and off issues getting my 6TB Seagate Ironwolf HDD to work with the RP. At first, I thought it might be the SATA card, so I replaced the Pine64 one with this card: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QGRVGVM
That worked for a few months, but then randomly the disk stopped showing up in the OMV filesystems menu. The disk still shows up in lsblk (sda):
Code: rockpro64:/:% lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 5.5T 0 disk
mtdblock0 31:0 0 16M 0 disk
mmcblk1 179:0 0 29.7G 0 disk
└─mmcblk1p1 179:1 0 29.4G 0 part /
The disk now makes strange clicking noises when it powers on (brand new HDD by the way), and the noises don't match other HDD failure sounds I've seen posted on YouTube and other places.
I thought it might be due to insufficient power, so I replaced the 12V/5A PSU with a 12V/7.5A PSU, since some people had mentioned that worked for them. The drive label says that it only needs 1A, so the original 5A supply should have been more than sufficient.
To summarize:- 6TB 3.5" HDD was working fine for months with the original Pine64 power supply and the SATA adapter listed above.
- The drive stopped working and even though it shows up in lsblk, the partition is missing and the drive makes strange noises when powering on.
What I've Tried:- Replacing the SATA card
- Replacing the power supply
- Replacing the SATA cable
Any ideas? I have no idea why it would work just fine for months, but then all of a sudden stop. If I plug the drive into my main PC, it reads no problem.
