Posting this in a new thread so it's easier to see, tried piggybacking on another thread but not sure anyone will see it

I've got a ANSI Pinebook Pro for sale, $200 shipped in the US.  It's hardly ever been used and as such, is in excellent condition.  I liked the device but I've not had nearly the freetime I had hoped to be able to learn Linux and ARM so would happily like to help this neat little machine find a worthy new owner.  I've attached a couple pics but can take more if needed, no bezel cracking or other issues present thus far and no dead pixels that I have seen.  Never been taken apart so only has the 64gb of storage that comes standard.  Will throw in a little laptop sleeve along with the original box and barrel plug charger.

Hi
Why is there no subforum somewhere under Quartz64 for discussing Android? like there is for Linux?
Please can we have one?

or is there someone place or site that people talk about it?

thanks, DNJ

I opened an encrypted SD card using a USB card reader connected to the phone. It appeared in the Index app, which showed the "mount" button and then I could enter the passphrase. But now I don't know how to unmount & lock it. The Index app doesn't have the usual unmounting icon like Dolphin has. I had to unmount via the terminal.

Is there a direct way to unmount & lock a card via the Index app? Or in Settings, or somewhere else?

I'd like to create a new flashable Manjaro+Plasma image, but with an encrypted partition dedicated to the /home folder and a corresponding entry in /etc/crypttab. When the phone boots up, I would expect a passphrase prompt (will it happen?). How would I be able to type in a passphrase on the screen, given that it the OS hasn't booted up completely yet? Is there a way to add a virtual keyboard at boot time?

Or better yet: is it possible to delay the decryption until after the phone boots up, but just before the first lock screen? That way, a virtual keyboard would be more feasible. This is how Sailfish X did it, anyway. Any ideas would be very welcome.

Hi,

I'm using p-boot as the boot loader and it's awesome. Much more convenient and easy than UBoot.

I thought I could have an SD card inserted with an OS but without a boot sector and install p-boot to the MMC card and have two boot entries, one to boot the MMC OS and the other for the SD one, so I can easily switch between both OSs without having to remove and insert the SD card.

I almost got it working. So although the SD card is inserted, since it doesn't have a boot sector, the boot sequence fails back to MMC and loads p-boot with the boot entries for MMC and SD. The MMC one works and boots the MMC OS, but the SD one just leads to a black screen.

This is my boot.conf file:

I have my Pinephone with Arch+Phosh installed set to turn off the display after one minute, the problem is that instead of turning off the display it will switch to the lock screen and stay powered on indefinitely. This is remedied when I restart Phosh with

hi...just received my new phone..right out of the box every image and character is doubled (a sort of wobbling mirror image just next to the original one) so its very hard to see and select anything at all...tried several distros...all have the same problem ...its everywhere whatever I try to run...so would this indicate a hardware issue?...the screen or its connections?.....disappointing if so as its brand new......or perhaps there is something I can do to fix it?
At a bit of a loss and haven't even crossed the start line yet!
thanks for any clues....

I've tried gnome night light through both gui and gsettings in terminal, which had no effect on the screen, and after trying redshift and looking around the internet, it almost appears that there's no available night shift application for wayland that works in arch-phosh.



Question: How can I get a night shift application running on arch-phosh wayland?
