I still love my Pinebook. It doesn't get as much love as it should since it's slower than my phone, but I've been trying various different operating systems out again to see what I think. However since the Pinebook Pro came out, this model has been treated as legacy. Quite sad since it's still up for sale, but there you go.

I've tried and got the following:

• KDE Neon - Nice enough, but all of a sudden stopped updating and working for me. Was support dropped?
  
• Manjaro - Not for me. Works well enough but I'm not a fan of Arch (personal preference) and I found it to be slower than Neon.
  
• Q4OS - Omg, they have an XP theme that's super close! My leading choice at this point and really easy and comfortable to use.
  

I have been logging into the forum for a few years now.

I prefer using Epiphany (Web) however I just tried 8 times to log in and it would not let me, something about mis-matched credentials ?

I switched to Firefox and logged in on the first try.

I am using DuckDuck on both browsers.

Is there a problem with the forum or website software blocking Epiphany from logging in.?
  I was able to browse the forum with Epiphany before I tried to log-in.

What would be the easiest way to port an andorid app to phosh?

Hi, I want to buy Pinecil, but in countries couldn't find chine.

Can someone help me?

I think this is about Phosh, maybe specific to Mobian.

I frequently get notifications giving two messages:

Phone Shell
   user@host/nextcloud
open

   user@host
open

They pop up when there's a new network connection, for example, when I wake the phone up (power button) and the wifi state is disconnected, so it automatically reconnects.

I have a Nextcloud server which I have configured in the account settings.

When I open either message, it takes me to the Portfolio file manager with a list of connections or the top level of my Nextcloud files.

I'd like to turn these notifications off. I don't see one for Phosh, Nextcloud or Portfolio. I do see one for Networks. I turned off Networks notifications and I still get these Phosh/Portfoliio/Nextcloud notifications.

Is there a way to stop these alerts?

Thanks.

Hi!
 
When I try to run overlays on Armbian 21.08.2 Focal, they do not seem to load, see [b]attached screenshot [/b]below for the output during boot. It looks to me that fdt is not properly run or sth.

Anyone seen this before and knows what the issue can be/how it can be solved?
 
Thanks in advance!

Hello! I reinstalled my PBP with fresh Manjaro yesterday. Since PBP reinstalled it can't boot to any OS (Kali, Manjaro etc.) from SD. When I turn on PBP I see this on the screen:
https://ibb.co/DWcLNWT

Power LED is amber, a lot of artifacts and system messages, why my PBP can't boot from SD?
This SD previously used for success booting other OSs (all tries are successful before reinstall) and finally reinstall PBP OS.

So, just wanted to share a little solution i ran into for streaming music via pandora. I was toying with Beta 15 just recently and made an attempt to get pithos (pandora streaming client) working. Seems like it works out of the box pretty much. The UI leaves a bit to be desired in terms of control (no real thumbs up/down or like) but its better than nothing!

Enable SSH on your phone (systemctl start sshd) and run the following commands as the manjaro user:

I had just fixed a package problem when my phone died of battery. I guess the linux-firmware package did not install because I had to remove it before update to reinstall. Now my phone is bricked at the K screen. It even lets me move the cursor around. How can I get a terminal up?

Hi
I have installed the 32GB Android image on my Quartz64.
I have enable "developer mode".
I have gone into Developer options and enabled "USB debugging".

I am trying to run adb on an Intel laptop running Manjaro.

I tested it with a Motorola phone and I can get adb to work on the phone.

I have connected to the Quartz64 using this cable https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01KRO8D20
and I have tried all four USB ports on the Quartz64.

I can't think of anything else to try.

Can anyone help.

thanks
