Hey folks!

I ran into a cheap samsung Dex Station at a thrift store. I hedged my bets that is was little more than a USB-C hub and to my happy surprise:

It works just fine with the PinePhone (manjaro) including the HDMI out.

Also it fits on it really well.

Hello,

I have the PinePhone (3GB) with the Convergence Pack, which has the USB-C dongle.
It runs Manjaro ARM Plasma Mobile, but I also tried the Phosh Edition with no success.
Unfortunately I can't get any video output working.
I already tried it with 2 TVs and 1 monitor.
On the first try with Plasma Mobile the screen flickered and I got at least some visual feedback from the TV that it was connected to
but on subsequent tries nothing happened.
When connecting to a display, the display recognizes that something is connected, but don't even try to switch to a resolution.
I'm gonna post the dmesg output later, since the Pinephone is charging now.

Kernel Version: 5.14.10-1-MANJARO-ARM
Plasma Version: 5.22.5

Hello from a new and happy Canadian owner of a Pinephone.

I'm really impressed so far and I tried some distros. My choice is now Mobian and I installed Gnome Shell. I tried to find the answer to my question with no luck therefore, I'm asking in here.

Is there a way to answer a phone call from the login screen without having to actually log in user session? I really dont have the time to login with the password when the phone rings and, I miss the call. In GDM3.

Thank you all and long live to Pinephone!

I downloaded the Phosh 16 Beta yesterday and played around with it for a bit then when I went to boot it up this morning it would vibrate, show the notification light turn on then go black. I left it for about 10 minutes to see if maybe it was booting up but the screen was just dim and nothing happened. I tried booting into it 4-5 times with the same result. Anyone else experiencing this?

I'm following these guides:

https://fossingularity.wordpress.com/202...h-beta-15/
and
https://waydro.id/ (scroll down)

so on the first guide, "sudo waydroid-start" says command doesn't exist,

but going to the second guide, "sudo waydroid init" seems to work, but "sudo waydroid container start" and "waydroid session start" seem to get stuck, and subsequently, "waydroid app install whatever.apk" doesn't work either.

was editing boot.txt perhaps an outdated step? Any tips?
 

I have installed apps through the software application and have noticed that some apps do not open.  Specifically Pidgin I click on the app and it looks like its going to open but it just hangs.  Anybody else experience this ?

Now that I managed to get the multi-boot demo image working on an sdcard I have bounced through all distros it came with.

I am curious, how is sailfish os able to get smooth ui response compared to others?

I get all functions I need (so far) from pos phosh but it does have some noticeable delays when just getting around.

I went to download a recent merge request of Phosh because it added splash screen support, which I think it huge. When trying to install all the deb packages though I get an error that it conflicts with Squeekboard, anyone have an idea on how to get around that? Below is the link to the deb files, I installed them all aside from `phosh-osk-stub` and `phosh-osk-stub-dbgsym` with `phosh-osk-stub-dbgsym` depending on `phosh-osk-stub` and that conflicting with squeekboard.

When booting up with Plasma Mobile, the screen brightness is set to minimum.

Looking at the action menu at the top, I can find two icons which look like any other ions of suns indicating brightness. In this case there is no slider, and pressing on the icons does nothing.

Any ideas?


Thanks
