  Pinebook Pro wants a PIN for my bluetooth mouse
Posted by: ColoBill - 01-19-2025, 11:28 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (1)

Hello PineBook Pros,

I have had my PineBook Pro for five years now.  Ordered November 2019.  It's been a useful lightweight laptop for me which I've carried all around the US and even Europe, and Africa.  A few months ago I thought it was dead because, even plugged in, the power would not come on no matter if fully charge and pressing buttons.  A couple weeks ago I came back to it and miraculously just turned right on.  Oh well, here's my problem now.

It wouldn't pair with my bluetooth mouse anymore.  I deleted the device and tried to re-pair it.  Now it wants a PIN code!  There never was any PIN code for this mouse. Here are the details:

  Manjaro ARM Linux, 24.03
  Fenifox Bluetooth Slim Mouse (I love it and have 2 of them)
 
Any ideas on how to get it to stop asking for a PIN? I'm not good with fingers and trackpads.

Question Default Debian Trixie entry from /etc/apt/sources.list
Posted by: spont - 01-17-2025, 10:20 PM - Forum: PineNote Software - Replies (5)

getHello,

I just received my Community Edition PineNote today Big Grin  I accidentally removed the default Debian Trixie entry from `/etc/apt/sources.list`, and was hoping someone could post theirs for me?

Before I removed the entry, `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade` was working correctly and showing 0 new updates available after I did my initial upgrade on the first boot.

After the entry was removed, when I use the standard Debian naming convention for the Trixie sources list I'm getting this error:

Code:
Get:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie InRelease [175 kB]
Hit:2 http://pinenote.mweigand.net/repo_pn_stable trixie InRelease                   
Error: Release file for http://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/trixie/InRelease is expired (invalid since 2d 1h 54min 47s). Updates for this repository will not be applied.

If I point apt to `bookworm` instead of `trixie` I'm able to `update && upgrade`, which shows a number of packages to update indicating I'm currently on a different version (or was, at this point).

The fact that `pnedeb.sources` is pointing to `trixie` tells me I'm not wrong that the factory version that was shipped was also `trixie`, but I'm wondering if I'm just pointing to an incorrect `deb` url...

Could someone please post their `/etc/apt/sources.list` for me? Heart

  Bricked Pinetab 2
Posted by: vatin - 01-17-2025, 03:07 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - Replies (6)

Did a routine pacman -Syu, and halfway through, the terminal spit out some error message. Then the tablet shuts itself off and could never turned back on again regardless the duration of time I hold the power button. No led blinking. No slightest hint of backlight turning on. No text on screen. Nothing. As solid as rock. So off it went to the recycling center.

  wasp-os bluetooth dev documentation?
Posted by: vrtigo - 01-16-2025, 03:43 PM - Forum: Development Discussion on PineTime - No Replies

Having a bit of a time trying to develop bluetooth on the PineTime under wasp-os 0.4.

There is little documentation about this from what ive seen, but Ive figured out that I need to use ubluepy, and set up and advertise a service. I can do this, but it nukes the Nordic UART Service, leaving development from that point problematic. Ive tried adding the NUS service and characteristics using the UUID's found in pynus, but the app fails to load when I do so with very little information about whats wrong.

Any ideas on how to move forward?


  What is the package manager?
Posted by: Deckard - 01-14-2025, 07:10 PM - Forum: PineTab Software - Replies (3)

Hello, All

Could you please name the package manager that comes w this port of Arch Linux that comes w pinetab2? I searched for "pacman" and "pamac" but to no avail. How can I alleviate this issue?

Many thanks,

Deckard


Exclamation Impossible to login, bottom right corner of the touchscreen not responding
Posted by: anonymous - 01-14-2025, 08:56 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (2)

Hello

The bottom right corner of the touchscreen doesn't respond, I cannot enter the password. I highly suspect an hardware defect, I had the same trouble on my very first Pinephone.

Could it be caused by a software problem?

Is there a workaround in the meantime so that I can login? For example, can I force the Pinephone to enable the screen rotation very early? Can I use the dock?

Does someone have some experience on replacing the touchscreen? I will probably do that and if it works on my current Pinephone, I will do the same on my previous Pinephone.

P.S: I can login by using the dock but half of the user interface doesn't appear on the screen and the keyboard starts working correctly only after entering the password. Note that I use full disk encryption.


  mobian phosh on screen keyboard not popping up for Chromium/Electron apps
Posted by: grump_fiddle_reinstall - 01-14-2025, 03:06 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (1)

I use Vivaldi browser (stable and snapshot) on my PinePhone and FreeTube to watch YouTube videos. I also have Chromium installed on my PinePhone. Vivaldi is based on Chromium and FreeTube is an electron app.

When I place the cursor in the URL field of Vivaldi or Chromium or in the search field in FreeTube, I would expect for the on screen keyboard to appear as it does with Firefox thus allowing me to enter a URL/search term into the field. 

This does not happen with the Chromium/Elecron apps. Is there a way round this ideally so that the on screen keyboard will appear automatically?


  Filen.io(and others) a useful backup, cloud storage, and sharing tool
Posted by: biketool - 01-12-2025, 11:25 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - No Replies

Having some  cloud storage for my barebones VPS as well as a virtual "sd card" that I can share links from seems like a cool idea. I could also set it to sync my /home and SD card though a network share is all I want for now. I have not used cloud storage before except for linux servers where I could mount via sshfs maybe dropbox when it was first available for free.  Filen.io are all about privacy and e2e encryption but they seem to be home brewing all of the interfaces.
(edit) after buying a lifetime 100GB package I now have the extra storage and I also figured out the missing part to get it to mount

./filen_cli --skip-update mount /home/mobian/filen

I am sure I am just tired or something, or the CLI client is broken

https://github.com/FilenCloudDienste/filen-cli/

Code:
./filen-cli-v0.0.27-linux-arm64 mount --skip-update /home/mobian/filen
<edit-snip>

since the filen-cli self-updates it is probably smart to run it without arguments including --skip-update every now and then.

They sometimes have a lifetime 100mb for €30(stackable) so that is pretty cool too, 

If anyone wants to play with filen.io there is a free 10gb service available.

<edit>
I tried out the Filen GUI on PPpro, it actually scales pretty well by itself, in landscape it is easy enough to read file and dir names, this is probably what most people will want to use if they want some cloud storage, the website has a .deb for arm64 full GUI client. 

The shareable links include a web-player for some video and audio formats and even if just downloading links it makes a very easy way to share large files or bundles. 

One note if used on a machine where you use the filen_cli inside a script be sure to give it enough time to reset, I was transferring a file too fast and it crashed the high CPU/RAM filen_cli on an underpowered VPS which then unmounted my virtual drive, the limited speed transfer script then wrote into the mount point(filen has to be run in user not su/root) which then caused the remount to fail and my script to spam the filen API and fail and I got a slowdown(ban) for something like 20-30 min.  below is what worked for m to have a tweakable transfer speed copy command to not over RAM/CPU my wimpy server and crash the mount failing the transfer partway through.
Code:
rsync --bwlimit 17000 -ahr --progress FILENAME /home/user/cloud/
if your rasberryPi on someone's DSL line or wimpy shared server crashes when you try to cp files this should fix the problem by slowing down the transfer with the option --bwlimit setting the speed in k/s; my datacenter has astounding bandwidth for the VPS price so unlimited can go up to around 2.5GB/s.

(edit) since the latest update to the filen-cli client I have been able to utilize the Filen directory directly via normal CLI transfer tools like cp and midnightcommander without needing to limit the bandwidth, it still will sometimes crash the mount after moving several 10s of GB so the above is still useful for large transfers, tune to a speed below what crashes the mount script. If anyone knows a way to tell the OS to limit throughput I feel like that might be the way to go for filen-cli on a limited system.
