  How to mainline kernel on daniel thompson's debian installer?
Posted by: hellojack - 11-08-2021, 03:47 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (14)

Hi, i installed debian with daniel thompson's debian installer.

I noticed that the kernel is from a repository, and it's 5.8. 
I want to install the lastest(5.10 in bullseye), mainline kernel.

Installing `linux-image-5.10-x-arm64` or something like that, and rebooting my system showed black screen.

How can i properly switch kernel on it?


  Is there a good simulator for SW development to co-exist with the HW interfaces?
Posted by: jasonriedy - 11-07-2021, 09:34 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineNote - Replies (1)

Just checking.  Is there a usable simulator that we can use to start working on the user-level software side of things?  So a hacked-up qemu + graphics or something like that.  I doubt I'll be much use on the reverse engineering side of HW things.


  Gnome podcasts
Posted by: user641 - 11-07-2021, 03:34 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (4)

Will it be soon possible to install gnome-podcasts on mobian as a .deb package? I don't like using flatpaks.


  NVme intall usage?
Posted by: tkudog - 11-07-2021, 02:37 PM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (2)

I installed an SSD in my pinebook pro.  It is there, lsblk shows

NAME         MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS 
...
nvme0n1      259:0    0 931.5G  0 disk  

But the disk doesn't show up in Dolphin?  The wiki says you can use it as a data disk.  What am I missing?


  Fedora 33 to 34 upgrade issues
Posted by: tydeman - 11-07-2021, 01:22 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (2)

PineBook Pro still has Manjaro on its internal "disk".
I have Fedora 33 installed on a 64GB uSD card 
(that mostly runs OK -- Shutdown does not turn machine off)

Today, I followed these instructions to upgrade from Fedora 33 to 34.
It appeared to work OK.

https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2...using-dnf/
How to upgrade from 33 to 34 (in place):
  NOTE:  Some of these steps take many minutes (appears system is hung)
su -
dnf --refresh upgrade
reboot
dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade --best
dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=34
    ... takes a long time to download 3399 packages
dnf system-upgrade reboot
    ... takes a long time to install 3399 packages
su -
rpm --rebuilddb
dnf distro-sync --setopt=deltarpm=0
dnf install rpmconf
rpmconf -a

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/qui...m-upgrade/
    ... above plus these:
su -
dnf update
dnf repoquery --unsatisfied
dnf repoquery --duplicates
dnf list extras


That last command lists several packages, but the one I am worried about is:
  pinebook-pro-fixes.aarch64
and perhaps:
  ap6256-firmware.aarch64

The Dolphin file manager works OK.
System settings works OK.

But, firefox has issues.
  It starts and has a window with a title, but the main window is transparent;
  in that I see the desktop
Also, emacs has issues.
  Starting it from the desktop icon acts the same as firefox -- transparent window.

From a Konsole, starting either "emacs &" or "firefox &", I see warning from Gtk
that "window_decorations.css" is missing.


  sd card wear vs partition size
Posted by: guenther - 11-07-2021, 10:02 AM - Forum: General - Replies (2)

Hi folks!

Let's say I have a 32GB sd card with a partition smaller than full size, eg. 1GB. Will it wear out faster than with a full size partition or will the wear laveling use the unallocated space anyway?

  no Bluetooth in Plasma Mobile.
Posted by: Uturn - 11-07-2021, 01:57 AM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (10)

recently I flashed from Plamo dev to Plamo stable, as dev ist just not relly stable Big Grin .
Now both have currently a bluetooth but. Whilst Bluetooth is available in Settings, it is not possible to enable it.
When installing, manjaro plasma-mobile displayed there was an error in loading something bluetooth related.
A newer image, installed two days later, still is missing bluetooth ability.
Now sure the missing parts could be installed vian pacman.. but I don't know how.


  wifi hotspot ip address
Posted by: symbol.accounting@gmail.com - 11-06-2021, 06:09 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (1)

This is a really big deal for me. I want to use a pinephone as a webserver. So when I turn on the wifi hotspot it need its ip address to be the same every time. Is this true of the pinephone or not?

Cheers


  Buildroot 2021.08 not booting from SD card
Posted by: jimmy - 11-06-2021, 03:53 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (1)

Good evening,

Has anyone been able to get the recent versions of Buildroot working with the rock64_defconfig? 

As of this writing, it pulls in the following:


All I can get on the UART console is the following:
Code:
U-Boot SPL 2021.07 (Nov 06 2021 - 16:11:06 -0500)
Trying to boot from MMC1
mmc_load_image_raw_sector: mmc block read error
Trying to boot from MMC2
mmc_load_image_raw_sector: mmc block read error
SPL: failed to boot from all boot devices
### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###

I've tried with more recent 5.13.x kernels as well, but no matter what, I'm not able to get past this point.  There is no eMMC connected, only the SD card.  Armbian seems to boot from the SD card just fine.

Any help would be appreciated!
