  Pen API?
Posted by: miak - 12-17-2021, 12:43 PM - Forum: PineNote Software - Replies (1)

I've been looking at getting one of the similar devices (Remarkable, Boox, etc) that's e-paper with pen support for a while, but they all seem to have pretty big downsides ecosystem-wise, and I was so excited to see Pine64 launching this. I know KOReader is supposed to be quite good as a reader, and has good options for reading an A4 document on a smaller screen. However, it doesn't have drawing support. So, I figured I'd take a look at what it would take to adapt Xournal++ for smaller, slow-refresh screens.

Is there any indication on how inputs will be handled? For example, how do we distinguish between touch and pen input? Palm rejection? It'd be nice to have an API over (I assume?) libinput, so that we can have more uniform drawing options in many different applications. I guess something like that will be needed for the UI, whether it's plasma mobile or a modified plasma desktop.

(A dream is to be able to use something like this for presentations: load the slideshow as a PDF, annotate in real time and use the built-in damage tracking of e-paper drivers to send high-quality updates to a buffer on a computer)


  audio services shut down after short time on arch-phosh
Posted by: pineuser0 - 12-17-2021, 09:54 AM - Forum: Arch Linux on PinePhone - Replies (3)

I was listening to music with audacious when after about five minutes my bluetooth headphones disconnected.
This also happened when the speaker was playing music, as the music simply turned off on the phone.


  New user: Booting from emmc
Posted by: spropine - 12-17-2021, 08:53 AM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - Replies (1)

Hello,

My Pinepro64 came in yesterday, and I am having trouble getting it to boot from emmc. I don't have an sd card to test yet.

I would appreciate any help anyone can offer. As I'm brand new to this device I am concerned that I might be making some rookie error.

I have tried three different images: Debian, Armbian Hirsute (5.13 kernel), Armbian Buster Legacy (4.4 kernel).

With all images, the power LED shows solid green, and the ethernet port lights light up.

With both Armbian images, when I plug the power in I get a flashing white LED behind the reset button. With the Debian image I get nothing.

Based on some google searching I found that there might be issues booting newer kernels from emmc. However, in my case the older (4.4) kernel didn't work either.

I flash the emmc using the usb adapter and dd.

I am plugged into an LCD monitor using HDMI. I have a wifi/bluetooth adapter plugged in, and the emmc chip, but no other peripherals.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a PineTab, with keyboard and charging cable. I have a mailing address in the US (as well as a forwarding service in Austria if it has to be EU), thank you!

  Explorer Edition shipping origin?
Posted by: poVoq - 12-15-2021, 07:07 PM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (2)

Will the PinePhone Pro Explorer edition be shipped from the Pine64 warehouse within the EU to EU customers like some of the PinePhones did?


  call immediately terminated
Posted by: jyoung - 12-15-2021, 04:01 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (10)

Hi, I'm just setting up my pinephone beta, and I'm having some trouble making calls. When I try, the call immediately ends, in less than a second. When I go to settings, I can see that the phone is detecting the sim card and the local cell network. I've tried this in manjaro and mobian, and the symptom is the same. I am able to send a receive text messages using this sim card, at least in mobian. The sim card I'm using is from an iphone, which I've previously used at this same location. Are there any thoughts on what might cause an issue like this?

Hello everybody,

I'm interested in buying a second hand (used or not) PinePhone Mobian CE or a PineTab. Please get in contact with me if you have one available for sale. I can deal with some dead pixels or other minor hardware issues.

Thanks


  Freenet on Pinebook pro
Posted by: regivanx - 12-15-2021, 12:39 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (7)

Hello, has anyone managed to get freenet to work on the pinebook pro? It's a java program, normally it should work fine. But when launching the program I got the following error message:

Code:
    Freenet do not start on Pinebook pro. No wrapper for linux-aarch64-32.

Your java executable at /bin/java seems suitable
Unable to locate any of the following binaries:
/home/regivanx/.config/freenet/./bin/wrapper-linux-aarch64-32
/home/regivanx/.config/freenet/./bin/wrapper
Starting Freenet 0.7...

Let's start the node without the wrapper, you'll have to daemonize it yourself.

I submitted a bug to https://freenet.mantishub.io/view.php?id=7149 but no news since. Would someone be willing to help me install freenet on the pinebook pro?


  Firefox-esr 91.4
Posted by: guenther - 12-15-2021, 10:49 AM - Forum: PineTab Software - No Replies

Hi folks!

If you you find firefox 91.4 very sluggish on scrolling on some websites, you could try to set the following in "about:config":

Code:
gfx.webrender.force-disabled=true

according to mobian webside this should help also, although I found it makes little difference, if any:
Code:
layers.acceleration.force-enabled=true


On my PineTab it was a notable improvement. Hope that helps.


  What is the best firmware to use an external screen with?
Posted by: Scary Guy - 12-15-2021, 08:03 AM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (4)

I'm kind of lost here when it comes to this.  Also I want to use Barrier KVM with it (a clone of Synergy that is FOSS) but as I understand it, with the way Wayland handles security it can't work properly, yet.

I have seen GitHub - rkvm: Virtual KVM switch for Linux machines  but from what I've read it's hard to get it working properly.  I'd be open to that as a solution though and will probably test it out.

I've just had a hard time getting an external screen to work in general though, so I was hoping for recommendations for both Wayland and Xorg.

Thanks.
