I'm stuck. I hope someone here can come up with a workaround! I'm using bookworm and Phosh, all up to date, on a Braveheart 1.1 phone. I installed by following the step-by-step on the Waydroid Site (https://waydro.id/ at bottom of page). There are no errors until I get to the second steps under "Running Waydroid."

Suddenly wifi stopped working in my Mobian installation and "No Wi-Fi Adapter Found" is reported in settings.

It was working this morning, but although I've installed no updates and made no changes since then now it's gone. Booting up on my "known to work" SD card the wifi returns, so it is not a hardware problem. Anything else I can check before clobbering the eMMC with my last image backup? (I don't like to do that too often due to flash memory's limited write cycles.)

I am finding 2 SMS apps in plasma;  phonebook and Spacebar; neither of which provide near the smooth functionality of the chomp android app I use on other phone. I am sure there are other android SMS apps of equal proficient functionality.

If I am missing any other ones, please let me know.

Spacebar does send and receive SMS for me using a Consumer Cellular SIM card.  It has little functionality in forwarding, resending, reorganizing messages, etc.  It looks like you can delete message and copy message text.   Any more polished app available? 

Phonebook gives two options after selecting a contact, Call and Send SMS.  Selecting Send SMS starts a dialogue :  "Device to send an SMS with:".  There is a blank box. You can't enter text into the box and there are no dropdown options available.  I don't know what it is looking for in "device".  Any suggestions of how to satisfy this request by the app?

The call option in Spacebar app asks for a device to use to make the call from the SIM card phone number on the phone and does not work.  I use the Phone app which does properly make phone calls though.

Phone app works fine for voice calls but SMS apps are really touch-and-go.  Anyone found any means to make an improvement to SMS text messages?

Hi,

I am not sure if it is an error from my end or the apk database has become unavailable. Since a few days ago I got errors while trying to update and upgrade via the terminal:

ERROR: Unable to lock database: temporary error (try again later)

ERROR: Failed to open apk database: temporary error (try again later)

My current /etc/apk/repositories :
http://mirror.postmarketos.org/postmarketos/master
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing

I been using this as a daily driver for some time. Here are some issues that I noticed. Please let me know if anyone know how to fix. 

-over heating if talking on the phone for more then 10 mins. It will get so hot that things will start to shut down.
-Once in a while the phone Mobile and text stuff will not work unless phone is restarted.
-Can not text or receive pictures
-Alarm Clock, Is there a way to change the sound on it? I tried going to Tweaks and download my own sound which it will show but will not use it when alarm sound. 
  
Also..I am having no luck on using Manjaro Plasma. For some reason the Mobile and data will not work. Any Idea what it could be? I am with Verizon.

Thank You for any help

Hello! I've been on the lookout for a Linux laptop with good hardware at a reasonable price and the Pinebook Pro immediately caught my eye. I love almost everything about the current Pinebook Pro but the hardware is looking a bit under-spec for my uses. I do a lot of photo editing, a bit of video editing, and creating and editing websites and doing any of this at a demanding scale is just not great on the current Pinebook Pro. So, to get to the point, would you guys over at Pine64 consider giving the Pinebook Pro an upgrade? Maybe putting your latest SBC with the 8GB of RAM and the Rockchip RK3566 in a new version of the Pinebook Pro would make a big difference for people doing heavier workloads like me! Anyways, let me know what you think.

Cheers (:

Hey guys, FOSDEM recently announced that next year's event will be virtual. It has now been two years since we're met with the community, and we're aching to see you guys in person again. So, we're thinking about arranging our own event in Germany sometime in May-July 2022.
What do you think? would you make the journey and participate in-person?

I know that many of you in the US, Asia and Oceania will still be unable to make it, so we'll make sure to have a portion of the meetup online, so everyone interest can participate.

I'd appreciate if you answer the poll, so I get a better idea whether arranging this event makes sense.

Hi all, I have a RockPro64 4GB and I've tried Armbian, Debian and also a custom RISC OS build and I'm having display issues with each. I've tried different brand SD cards, different HDMI cables and different monitors.

Often when I boot into Linux, there is no display at all but DHCP is working. Sometimes the display goes black even if it comes up at boot. 

Anything I should try?

Installed vivaldi browser (that I like alot) through Discover onto pinephone.  Vivaldi starts fine but does not start keyboard to enter text upon selection of a text box.
Did several reboots with no change.

Vivaldi works well on my android samsung galaxy phone.  I also use vivaldi as default browser on my linux pc.

Anyone seen same thing? Anyone found a solution?

I will post this on vivaldi forum also.

thanks,    tom kosvic

I just recently got my pinephone, and it came with manjaro installed on it. I find it strange that I've found that openssh is even installed by default, but honestly it fosters a lot of mistrust by virtue of the fact that its configured to listen for connections.
I've even managed to log into it using the required numeric only password.
This is an enormous flaw and is absolutely ridiculous that this distribution would ship like this. What on earth were they thinking? This is a flaw that would be just unbelievably easy to attack.
Thanks but no thanks, I don't understand how you could create a distribution with this level of incompetence.
