  How to ship to China Shenzhen?
Posted by: AppleCross - 09-28-2021, 11:18 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinecil - No Replies

  Phone Shell Nextcloud message notifications: turn them off?
Posted by: lsitongia - 09-28-2021, 11:04 AM - Forum: PinePhone Software - No Replies

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.


  Overlays not loading at boot - ROCKPRO64 on Armbian
Posted by: rookieone - 09-28-2021, 04:10 AM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - No Replies

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!

  PBP can't boot any OS from SD after reinstall
Posted by: Comoq - 09-28-2021, 03:35 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (1)

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.


  Pandora music streaming client
Posted by: jtn0514 - 09-27-2021, 07:51 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - No Replies

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:

Code:
mkdir ~/src && cd ~/src
sudo pacman -S git base-devel
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/pithos.git
https://github.com/pithos/pithos.git
cd pithos
makepkg -si

On the main apps menu, hit the 3 lines on thetop right and uncheck "Show only adaptive apps" and you should see a white icon with a blue note titled "pithos".

You will probably have to change the display scaling a bit to get the app to show right, however you'll probably do that anyway when setting up the phone.


  Boot screen stuck at 'K' because of firmware deleted.
Posted by: poundantisec - 09-27-2021, 05:10 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (9)

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?


  I can't get adb to work
Posted by: dieselnutjob - 09-27-2021, 04:21 PM - Forum: Android on Quartz64 - Replies (5)

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


  Does RK3566 support s2ram deep sleep?
Posted by: jag - 09-27-2021, 12:16 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Quartz64 - No Replies

Does anyone know if the RK3566 supports proper suspending to ram (deep sleep)?  I downloaded the docs that were available on the wiki, but if they had and answer this question, I didn't see it / know how to interpret it.

And, if yes, do you know what events will wake it?  E.g., wake on gpio?  wake on timer? wake on lan?

Thanks


  Unstable HDMI out
Posted by: james8880 - 09-27-2021, 10:59 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (6)

I could not find a posting on this topic.
Is this situation specific to my instance of the phone or not? Is anyone else observing these things?

With my phone, I have to use Megi's workaround here

I get the HDMI on the monitor but in short time (like within a minute) , the display does any and all of these: flickers, shears, wraps, blanks out and comes back to stable for a bit and then repeat after some ad hoc short period of time.

It kindof seems to happen when I interact with the phonephone --> using the HDMI display e.g. click on something or start to type.

I see zero messages from dmesg.
I have swapped mice, keyboards, HDMI cables, monitors and the issue remains.
I have tried with battery at all various charge levels and charger plugged in or out.
I have tried different HDMI/hubs

No matter on any of the hardware above swap-outs the issue remains and with no messages in output from dmesg. I figure that the issue is hardware in the phone.
I have not studied up to be a hardware guru.

Any insight to the cause and fix would be great.
I leave these observations for those who know stuff.

Thank you

-Jim


  Debian Bullseye & RockPro64: No tty consoles?
Posted by: Pete Tandy - 09-27-2021, 08:11 AM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - Replies (9)

I've got Debian 11 (Bullseye) up and booting successfully to the Xfce4 desktop. Thing is, switching to tty (text) consoles using the Ctrl+Alt+fx doesn't appear to do anything at all except hide the mouse cursor on the desktop. I can get it back by pressing Ctrl+Alt+f7.
Also, the typical Linux boot messages stay hidden behind a blank screen, which only comes alive when the graphical window manager is loaded. I haven't encountered this issue with other distros I've tested, such as Armbian (Xfce4) or Manjaro (KDE 5).
Is there a way to get the text consoles active in Debian without resorting to a serial console?

Update: No success, even after having changed two pertinent lines in my /etc/grub.d/10_linux to read:
linux ${rel_dirname}/${basename} root=${linux_root_device_thisversion} ro ${args} vga=normal nofb nomodeset video=vesafb:off

Still no boot messages, and no way to switch from the default graphical to another tty.

Update 2: Tried 'nomodeset' without any other parameters; no good results.

Update 3: Replaced lightdm with gdm3. No difference whatsover.

Update 4: Cleared the boot sector of the microSD card and reinstalled Debian 11 without Desktop or graphical environment. The screen is still blank, but I can seem to switch between tty 's and login as root to initiate a clean shutdown. No text on screen (in fact, nothing on screen) but some kind of signal is definitely being output to monitor. I then connected the RockPro64 to an HDMI TV set and got exactly the same (non-) results. I should note that Armbian Focal has been tested on my copy and works fine rendering both text and graphics, so it's probably not an issue with the hardware.

Am I to assume that switching between tty consoles isn't doable, at least not without a serial console?
