  setting a fixed Mac address on a PineCube
Posted by: ajellisuk - 11-19-2021, 04:59 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineCube - Replies (3)

Hello

I have got a PineCube running Armbian, and is also using Uboot 2021.07-armbian.

I have found that the mac address keeps changing, and consequently the ip address keeps changing too. This is a real nuiscence.

I have looked for a soltution to this problem, and found some ideas on the One64 forum. Unforutnately the suggestions there didn't work for me on the PineCube.

I have tried adding these to /boot/boot.cmd (no both at once)

Code:
setenv bootargs "${bootargs} ethaddr=7e:50:d1:01:57:68"

setenv bootargs "${bootargs} mac_addr=7e:50:d1:01:57:68"

If I do 
Quote:cat /proc/cmdline


I can see that the parameters are passed to the kernel, but are not being acted upon.

I have also tried adding these to /boot/armbianEnv.txt

Code:
mac_addr=7e:50:d1:01:57:68
ethaddr=7e:50:d1:01:57:68
Again not both at once.

Can someone please tell me what I need to do to get the mac address to remain the same on subsequent boots.

Thanks in advance

Andrew


  Help how to mount SD-Card
Posted by: chadwick - 11-19-2021, 04:09 AM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - Replies (8)

Hi All,

On a linux desktop, one way to access your device is to edit the "/etc/fstab" to mount your device permanently so you can access it.

Reading postmarketOS's wiki about fstab, it told you to activate "rc-update" and the localmount service, which is the command:

Code:
sudo rc-update add localmount default

And to check whether the service is running:

Code:
rc-service localmount status

While blkid will return nothing, I use "sudo fdisk -l" to identify the UUID of the SD-Card, which gives:

Code:
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 59.48 GiB, 63864569856 bytes, 124735488 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 59.48 GiB, 63864569856 bytes, 124735488 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: DC11BA49-9C6F-4BC0-B775-E39576550622

Device           Start       End   Sectors  Size Type
/dev/mmcblk0p1    2048   1050623   1048576  512M EFI System
/dev/mmcblk0p2 1050624 124733439 123682816   59G Microsoft basic data


Device           Start       End   Sectors  Size Type
/dev/mmcblk0p1    2048   1050623   1048576  512M EFI System
/dev/mmcblk0p2 1050624 124733439 123682816   59G Microsoft basic data

Therefore, I edit my fstab to looks like the following:
Code:
UUID=DC11BA49-9C6F-4BC0-B775-E39576550622 /home/user/SDCard vfat defaults 0 0

On a reboot it did not give me anything in the folder. Upon the failure, I tried to mount the SDcard by using the mount command, which return error:-

Code:
sudo mount -t vfat -o ro /dev/mmcblk0p2 ~/SDCard
mount: /home/user/SDCard: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mmcblk0p2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

My question is, is there something wrong with what I did or anything that I might not have been aware of?

Cheers.
Chadwick


  Electron Bugs - Any Ideas? (Axolotl)
Posted by: arno_nuehm - 11-19-2021, 03:05 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (5)

Hello there,

Axolotl is currently using Electron 15 as frontend and there are some bugs, which are a bit odd and I would like to ask, if anyone here has some experience with Electron and could provide some help.

1. Web links are opened in Axolotl instead of browser
https://github.com/nanu-c/axolotl/issues/538

2. Onscreen Keyboard not showing up
https://github.com/nanu-c/axolotl/issues/582

3. Input of certain letters not possible
https://github.com/nanu-c/axolotl/issues/635

From my point of view, all three bugs are connected to the Electron-Axolotl relationship, but my skills in this field are limited...

So it would be awesome, if some clues could be found.

Thanks in advance!


  Phone suddenly unusable
Posted by: TRS-80 - 11-18-2021, 06:51 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (6)

My phone was purchased as KDE Community Edition, but after initial distro-hopping, I settled into Mobian stable.

At that time phone calls would drop some times, but most of the time they did work.  I was more or less happy with it as a daily driver (in terms of a phone, anyway).

4G worked, even VoLTE worked (to my surprise!).

Then, maybe a week ago, I changed a couple things at the same time:

  1. I upgraded Mobian to Bookworm.
  2. I changed my SIM and carrier.
  3. I may have even bent one of SIM pins in the process (not sure though, maybe not).

2. From a T-Mobile MVNO (Walmart Family Mobile) to MetroPCS (now Metro by T-Mobile).

3. Yes I realize this fact makes other troubleshooting difficult if not impossible.

What I did not change:

  1. I never changed any firmware from stock.
  2. I never changed kernel from default.

Ever since then, I can barely make phone calls.  They often drop right away, or a few to several seconds into the call.  Some times I can complete a phone call.  But it's basically unusable now.

One thing I have noticed, is that the phone seems to want to change from 4G to 3G when making a call now.

So, I have been reading up on firmware and other things, and I am not sure what I should do next?  Any advice / help will be greatly appreciated.


  Failure day 1
Posted by: Shadowarez - 11-18-2021, 06:45 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinecil - No Replies

Was so excited to finally get my hands on one of these they were being scalped and outa stock for nearly 6 months straight.

When I was finally able to buy I bought 2 the pine desktop power station the usb C cable extra tips the stand the works.

It gets here I proceed to use the USB C cable it powers on I go to attempt first project it will not heat up past 23 c max temp 35c.

1 checked out YT videos on this from every video iv seen they plug it in click the - button and there off to the rceztit heats up and it's going.

2. This sits at 23 c no matter what I try doesn't bother heating up so I thought maybe one of the pine device's has failed so I ordered a labtop brick with voltage control.

3. Waited 3 weeks for it to arrive test it same result will not heat up at all powers on bit won't heat up like every video I seen on this.

Anyone else have this issue?


  Issues with External Display After Recent Update
Posted by: reundo - 11-18-2021, 06:37 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

I have recently started using my Pinebook Pro with a Dell usb-c dock and 4k external display.  After updating the computer this evening (it had been a week or two) and plugging it back into the dock after restarting it my bluetooth stopped working and about the right third of the external display is showing only static (built-in display still works without issues).  I was never able to get it to boot properly attached to the dock, I have always had to plug it back in after logging in.

After fiddling with the bluetooth and several restarts, it's working again.  However, the external display is still showing static on the right side.  I have tested another laptop with the dock and external display and there are no issues.

Any thoughts or suggestions?  Anything else I can troubleshoot or test?  My first thought is a hardware issue (I have used the usb-c ports only a handful of times so far), but it seems weird that it started just after an update.  I would really like to get it working with my external display again.  It makes the experience so much better.

  How to recover static libraries through jumpdrive

A while ago my pinephone had seemed to had have wifi, bluetooth, gsettings, and various other services disabled that I've addressed in my most recent few threads.

I currently have the phone connected to a pc through jumpdrive and have the / directory accessible. How can I recover the installation of arch-phosh.


  Forum account problems
Posted by: diederik - 11-18-2021, 07:36 AM - Forum: General - Replies (3)

I recently registered this forum account, but several things/features fail with the following message:

Quote:You do not have permission to access this page. This could be because of one of the following reasons:
  1. Your account has either been suspended or you have been banned from accessing this resource.
  2. You do not have permission to access this page. Are you trying to access administrative pages or a resource that you shouldn't be? Check in the forum rules that you are allowed to perform this action.
  3. Your account may still be awaiting activation or moderation. (Resend Activation Code)
  4. You have accessed this page directly rather than using appropriate forms or link.


You are currently logged in with the username: 'diederik'

1) As this is my first post, I'm assuming this isn't the case
2) I get this message when I do 'User CP' > Miscellaneous > View Profile; which afaict would allow me to view my own profile. I also get this error message when I try to view some/any one else's profile. And now I see I have a Private Message, but when I click on it, I see the error message.
So it looks like most actions that requires being logged in, which I am, fail. I have also tried logging out, closing browser, starting browser, logging in. Didn't matter
3) That sounded plausible as I never got an activation email. So I clicked on the 'Resend Activation Code' which told me there was no need for that ... ?
4) I've only used links from my browser (Firefox 94, but also tried it with qutebrowser), so I guess not?

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or can a forum admin/moderator check my account to see whether some 'bits fell over', causing my issues?
