I wanted to use Nheko as my Matrix client on Mobian but the version that is in the repo is too old due to needing bug fixes that newer versions have. I see that Nheko has a Flatpack version, has anybody had any success installing that on the Pinephone ? I tried running the command:

I just spent a while troubleshooting and I didn't see any post.

The most recent u-boot release, 2021.10, doesn't work for booting from the emmc. It works fine on the sd card with emmc disabled.  Here's the error that it sends over serial:

For whatever reason, editing preferences is not allowed in gedit on Mobian. How can I disable highlighting the current line (I actually can't see the text with the dark theme)? I would also like to disable line numbering as that's pretty dumb to have on for a text editor on a phone.

Hello everyone,

Short:
---
After executing `sudo pacman -Syyu` on the vanilla Manjaro ARM that was delivered, the phone does not boot any more.
When powering on, The K with the gears comes on. Then stops after two lines:

[5.68...] musb-sunxi 1c19000.usb: Invalid or missing 'dr_mode' property
[5.96...] iio iio:device3: failed to read Who-Am-I register.

Restarted multiple times, tried to do some hard reset with holding the power button for 20 sec. Still same

Detailed Prosa Version:
--------
I received my pinephone recently and could put my hands on it today.

First start looks nice. After playing around a while, I thought the best action would be to install updates.
Handling was a bit laggy and I was hoping the best.

There were two matches when searching for "Update" in the top search bar.

The first updater gave me an error message, something like system...5 not found.
The second updater wasnt able to fill some dependencies, I think some libcordova or alike.

So I googled how to solve those things, and the software forum here gave me the clue to execute `sudo pacman -Syu `or `sudo pacman -Syyu` in the terminal.

I tried the last one. And it did indeed start downloading a lot of stuff. Unfortunately, the screen went to power saving after a couple of minutes which made some downloads go bad. Trying to tap the screen failed on my lacking patience, as it really took a long time to download.

So I deactivated the lock screen and power saving in the settings and ran it again. The screen still went off after a couple of minutes, but the download didn't complain.

I had to run `sudo pacman -Syyu` multiple times and hit a lot of `y`s. I didnt monitor it the whole time, but when I took a look at the screen after like 3 hours, the above 2 lines were shown on boot and it seems like its stuck there.

Requesting help:

How can I get it back to work? I have Linux and Windows PC, enough cables and the docking station that was delivered with it.

I don't necessarily need the Manjaro ARM, any OS would help.

Am I doing something wrong?

I'm trying to search for "GPS" in the Manjaro forum, but it just keeps returning every single thread.

I am trying to build Android from the SDK, just as the person who made the images must have, but I can't get it to work.

These are the steps that I took:-

Download SDK from http://files.pine64.org/SDK/Quartz64/QUA...d11.tar.gz

Unpack it.

pp, as in pine phone, not the other kind..

So, now what I got that out of the way... Hello, fellow pp users!

I´ll start sharing just a short story, nothing I´m asking you to read, so feel free to just go down to the bold text and you´ll have the short version of my question.

So, long story short. I suck at life, diability pension at age 35 with spent 10+ experience as a consultant in neuropsychiatric assessment, cognitive science and developmental psychology. Stuck in my house, can barely sit by a keyboard due to positioning and so on, I barely even use my brain and feel dumber by the day.

Then I randomly stumbled upon the pinephone... I saw the pinephone as a fair economical chance to comfortable be able to get into linux, python and the freedom that comes with a pp. I loved that stuff back in the 90´s growing up.... trying linux back then, got into hacking a bit and it was some kind of enjoyable freedom where you could talk to other computers, customize the things you wanted in almost anything both software and hardware....I saw the pinephone and I thought that this might actualy be what I need to feel some kind of freedom and try to activate my brain and really getting a mesurable proof weather I´m growing/learning or not.

By pure chance; reading about the pinephone I saw a tool that maybe, just maybe could help me find something I lost.

My PP arrived last week, I couldn´t pick it up but got some help to have it picked up.
All seems to be well after reading those manual things, we get mobian on the PP... all is well..... I use the PP for the first time the next day, I hear a low 'click' from the phone, and again, so I hold the phone up to my ear to make sure it´s the PP making the sound and instantly feel some kind of current, nothing that hurts, I just feel the tiny face hairs goose up(?) and I feel that familiar electrical feeling in my skin, just very weak.... It wasn´t comfortable, but didn´t hurt.. I shut down the phone, checked the guts, nothing weird... I put it back on many hours later, no clicks, but I feel that current as soon as my hand is close by the phone.[b] Wanted to check battery settings anyways, but I couldn´t log in.. Screen wasn´t touch just now.. Only the power button worked, not volume...... Shut down again.... I tried the phone later the next day, no clicks, didn´t feel any current. could log in..... ok, weird....... I tried to just see what was on the phone, use it for the first time since I got it.. 5 min later the click and that current going into my hand is there all of a sudden... I shut the phone off again...
[/b]
I tried it today again for the first time since a few days ago. No click, feel the current.... I don´t know if it´s safe to use it..? It´s the 3/32 version, charged with the red cable that 1 time i charged it... With the luck I have in my life, I´m expecting the phone to blow up, and not kill me, just put me into an alert-but vegetableish state unable to do anything, still all senses function, then I´ll be put at some weird home for vegatables, where the staff are all secretly vegetablefiles and find my vegetable ass so inviting that they take turns, all 400 of the male basketballpro-looking employees are vegetablefiles.. and that will be my life for the next 30 years until I die due to some kind of butt infection. Yes, that is the kind of luck I have in my life. I promise.

Any idea about that current I feel? It kinda feels like it´s not good for the hardware, and maybe not even good for me..? I don´t feel like having this PP break already, I havn´t even been able to give it a try longer than 5 minutes yet.

For example, running 

Hi

I am trying to enable secure boot on Rockpro64, but I cannot burn eFUSEs.

According to RockChip documentation I need to supply 1.8V to EFUSE_VQPS pin,
on Rockpro64 this is handled by setting EFUSE_VQPS_EN_H pin to high, but datasheet
does not mention where this pin is connected.

1. Has anyone tried enabling secure boot on this board before?
   
2. Where is EFUSE_VQPS_EN_H connected?
   
3. Where can I find component layout? I have found only board top layout, but I need bottom side.
   

Where I live, the only option to receive mail is a PO Box (very common in North America). DHL does not deliver to PO Boxes and over charge the crap out of people living in the following 100.000 postal codes after they have your parcel hostage...

My last order was a pinephone  and I was told DHL was the only option because "batteries"...

This time I ordered only SBCs and still can't have it shipped by regular post. My very first order was shipped through China Post and came through Canada Post to my PO Box with no problem. Why is that not possible anymore?? An exclusive deal with DHL?? Clearly a deal for the seller only, the customer can get raped by DHL after the sales is done and nobody cares...

And the cherry on top, after accepting my order and payment with a PO Box address, Pine64 wants to charge me to cancel the order because I don't have an alternative address... And you expect people NOT to make paypal claims?? way to go... Here is the appalling correspondence:
