  Pinephone compatibility with Telstra, now that 3 G shutdown and 5 G available
Posted by: tracyanne - 12-04-2024, 10:53 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - No Replies

I'm trying to find out Pinephone and or Pinephone pro have any issues now that Telstra has shut down 3 G networks.


  Can't complete update of manjaro: wwan0 stays disabled; no phone/text
Posted by: gilford - 12-04-2024, 12:21 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (3)

I started an upgrade and am unable to complete it.


To even see the relevant iface (and confirm it failed to grab an IP), I had to do

Code:
ifconfig wwan0 up
ifconfig wwan0


The modem is "disabled", and I do not know how  to enable it.

Code:
mmcli -m any | grep state
           |                   state: disabled
           |             power state: off
           |    packet service state: detached
nmcli r wifi on
mmcli -m any | grep state
           |                   state: disabled
           |             power state: off
           |    packet service state: detached


Now, my PPP lacks phone and internet .

Everything other than the modem (including WiFi, but not bluetooth, which I will comment on separately if need be) seems fine, so far.

Here is what I see when I answer the default Y, to all save libgpiod,

Code:
:: libgpiod1 and libgpiod are in conflict. Remove libgpiod? [y/N]
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: libgpiod1 and libgpiod are in conflict
Answering Y, gives,

Code:
:: libgpiod1 and libgpiod are in conflict. Remove libgpiod? [y/N] Y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing kcoreaddons breaks dependency 'kcoreaddons' required by kdav2

:: removing kpeople breaks dependency 'kpeople' required by kpeoplesink
:: removing kcontacts breaks dependency 'kcontacts' required by sink
:: removing kcalendarcore breaks dependency 'kcalendarcore' required by sink


When I try to remove the culprits, I have the following.

Code:
looking for conflicting packages...
warning: removing 'libgpiod' from target list because it conflicts with 'libgpiod1'
:: libgpiod1 and libgpiod are in conflict. Remove libgpiod? [y/N] y

From the forum, I found

New PinePhone user issues - https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...#pid123017

Pacman update cannot resolve plasma-mobile dependencies. · Issue #75 · manjaro-pinephone/plasma-mobile · GitHub — https://github.com/manjaro-pinephone/pla.../issues/75

I recently posted something as detailed as possible about this on the pine64 forum: (See above)

https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...#pid123017

To sum up:

You need to delete all foreign packages at once with the following two commands:

pacman -Qmq > list.txt

pacman -R - < list.txt

(Be careful to sort out the packages that have been installed by the user from the AUR)

Then, of course, you need to remove the orphaned packages.



So guided, I tried removing each of the culprits. (I did not want to remove anything not required.)

With the information above, I attempted to remove kpeople.

:: removing kpeople breaks dependency 'kpeople' required by plasma-mobile
:: removing kpeople breaks dependency 'kpeople' required by plasma-phonebook
:: removing kpeople breaks dependency 'kpeople' required by plasma-workspace
I grew suspicious here. I found hard to believe that pacman considered plasma-mobile to be foreign

plasma-mobile

Code:
pacman -Qmq | grep plasma-mobile
gave no matches.

NOTA BENE: the above post makes no mention of this dependency when it says  to remove all foreign packages.

Clearly, such is not possible on my system.

Daunted, I continued for completeness.

Code:
pacman -R kpeople calindori kpeoplesink kpeoplevcard plasma-mobile plasma-phonebook plasma-workspace plasma-mobile-nm plasma-dialer plasma-pa plasma-wayland-session plasma-wayland-session powerdevil systemsettings
checking dependencies...

:: removing kpeoplevcard breaks dependency 'kpeoplevcard' required by kdeconnect
:: removing systemsettings breaks dependency 'systemsettings' required by plasma-desktop
:: removing powerdevil breaks dependency 'powerdevil' required by plasma-desktop
No. Way.

I find myself in an absurd situation: an upgrade knocked out the modem.



How may I disentangle this Gordian Knot, and at least restore my modem,

ideally, complete the upgrade?


  Suspend functionality broken?
Posted by: grump_fiddle_reinstall - 12-04-2024, 01:24 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (4)

I have a PinePhone and a Pro both updated fully (as far as I am aware) running mobian/Phosh and mobian/Phosh + mobian/XFCE respectively.

In the last week it appears that suspend functionality is now broken.

Both seem to sleep but when I try to wake them after they have been suspended overnight both have drained their batteries and I have to charge them for a few minutes before booting,

Has anyone else noticed a similar change in the suspend functionality?


  Manjaro plasma mobile Wifi
Posted by: Uturn - 12-04-2024, 12:58 AM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (2)

Manjaro plasma mobile (edge) disconnects Wifi every seconds, asking again for WPA password. Somehow given passwords do not seem to get stored where they should or something... Also in the wifi setings trying to connect results in recurring a password popup. Is there a way to fix that behaviour?

Actually, wifi connects but immediately disconnects, system messages *no secrets were provided* followed by a new request for WPA password.


  TPM module for rockpro64
Posted by: misha64 - 12-03-2024, 06:19 PM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - No Replies

Hi guys,

Is there any compatible tpm module with rockpro64?

found these for raspberry pi:

https://www.voelkner.de/products/1304508...-1St..html
https://www.berrybase.ch/letstrust-tpm-k...spberry-pi
https://buyzero.de/collections/andere-pl...orm-module

based on Infineon Optiga™ SLB 9672 or 9670 TPM 2.0

GPIO pinout between raspberry and rockpro64 is similar but not identical.

So no idea if they are compatible.

Any suggestion would be appreciated!


  OpenBSD 7.6
Posted by: elitegamercody - 12-03-2024, 02:23 PM - Forum: BSD on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

OpenBSD 7.6 boots from SD (install.img) but hangs on "` booting sd0a:/bsd: 30587334+... ]=0x13f15e0" and makes the screen jiggle a lot, like the scan rates are changing and everything is taking one character jog left every few seconds.

Anyways, interesting experience. Not something ready out of the box. Will make some adjustments and report back if I have a bootable image.

  Modem wakes for incoming call, but too slow to answer the call
Posted by: dchang0 - 11-29-2024, 04:53 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (8)

Hi, everyone--

For the first time, I've got two cellular phone lines and am able to play more with the PinePhone Pro.

I called the PPP running Mobian, and it woke properly from sleep, and the modem also woke properly, but it wakes so slowly that the incoming call has gone to voicemail without ever ringing. It does say "Missed call" on the lock screen afterward.

If the PPP is already awake, it rings and receives the call just fine, so all I need to figure out is how to get the modem to wake fast enough to receive the call.

Any tips are appreciated. I plan on updating Mobian to the latest package versions tomorrow. It's been many months since I last powered on the PPP, so whatever it is running now is old.

I also will apply any modem firmware updates if there are any newer ones.

If updating is a bad idea, please let me know.

Thanks!


  Ubuntu Touch not booting after an restart
Posted by: Submarine0146 - 11-29-2024, 02:58 PM - Forum: PineTab Software - No Replies

Hi, I have been using my PineTab2 for around a year now and have been very satisfied with it. I used the factory image of Arch Linux ARM and really liked it (I use Arch as my main OS on PC for over 4 years). Yesterday, I once more checked the UBports Ubuntu Touch website for the PineTab2 to check for any changes or improvements. I decided to finally make the switch and see what the OS is like. From the pictures, I really liked the UI and the apps from the OpenStore.

I followed the documentation and downloaded the latest .raw file (https://ci.ubports.com/job/focal-hybris-...m64.raw.xz), extracted it, opened BalenaEtcher and flashed it to my SD card. Then I put it in the tablet, connected the UART, switched the maskrom switch to the ON position, and powered it on. After a few seconds, switch the maskrom switch back off so it can see the internal eMMC. I copied the .raw file to my USB flash drive and connected it to the tablet. Then I erased the internal storage (emmc) but left the /dev/mmcblk0boot0/1 alone and flashed the .raw from the usb drive to the internal storage. Powered off the tablet, disconnected UART and Sd card and boot up again. It boots into ubuntu touch. I complete the initial config, and it all works fine.

Then I power it off again (or reboot) and when I try to turn it on again, it does not do anything. Not even any output from the UART to minicom. Based on what I have read, I don't think it is even getting to the u-boot so that's why the screen is black. I tried reinstalling it, renaming the file from .raw to .img (as seguested by forum post) but nothing helped. I also noticed that I can't even boot the sd card for the second time after a reboot/shutdown.

The .raw/.img also has really weird partition structure when printed using fdisk (like the first 16MB partition that I think based on binwalk is just a binary file of the u-boot). But maybe that is normal and intended.


  Help with modem and internet
Posted by: JadenSki - 11-27-2024, 09:16 PM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (2)

Hello all, 

I recently aquired a Pinephone Pro with Sailfish OS preinstalled. After playing with it for a while I decided I didn't really care for it, so I installed Towboot on it and flashed Manjaro with Plasma to the emmc. I really liked this one, so I got a T-moble sim card through tracfone. I was able to quickly activate the card without any issues at all, and phone calls and sms messages worked right off the bat. The modem would dissconnect periodically but would be back up in seconds. So over all a seamless experence. I then installed waydroid so I could run android apps, this also worked very well with no issues at all. I used the phone for about 3 days with no problems. Then last night after receving a text, things begain to act up. I kept “receving” the same text over and over again. As there was no sign of this stopping I restarted the phone and turned on airplane mode. The next day the phone would not send or recive calls or messages, it said the apn needed to be configured in order to inable moble data. I thought this was odd because I had already done this but I went to the settings and played around with the settings. I found out that the modem was disabled so I clicked the button to force modem restart, however this did nothing. After some searching around online I ran this command: “sudo mmcli -m any -e” this gave the following error: “ error: couldn't enable the modem: 'GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Error.Core.Retry: Invalid transition'” I then tried turning off and restarting the phone, at some point I ran the command again and this time it worked, and it inabled the modem. However, it still did not allow me to turn on moble data, or change the apn settings. After a minute or so the modem once again said it was disabled. So I tried the command again, and it reinabled it, then a little later it was disabled again. The same thing keeps happening except half the time it throws the error. I also noticed that the waydroid container stopped having internet access even when conected to wifi. I don't know if this is related at all but it happend around the same time as everything else. I cannot figure out how to fix either of these problems and I am new to moble linux, so any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
