  Network shared folder discovery (smb4k)
Posted by: solostian - 09-14-2021, 08:33 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (10)

Hi,

I recently reconfigured my home network and setup a few shared folders (music, movies, pictures...).
Except for my PBPro, all my other PCs are running Linux Mint and access to those shared folders is working flawlessly.

On the PBPro (stock Manjaro) on the other hand, zilch.
Can't find the folders in Dolphin and smb4k will not start at all.

Do any of you have a workaround or a solution to my Samba issues?

Cheers,
Solostian


  Lower toolbar on ff
Posted by: user641 - 09-13-2021, 10:39 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (1)

I need some help performing the change on the toolbar on ff, I need to add the text from this page https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php...[]=firefox on /etc/mobile-config-firefox/userChrome.css

Should I use "sudo nano /etc/mobile-config-firefox/userChrome.css" and then copy and paste?


  Slack on PinePhone
Posted by: Adam Seline - 09-13-2021, 07:58 PM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (5)

I got a pinephone and am playing around setting it up.  Presently on mobian,  which is solid overall.  There is one big thing I'd really like to have on my phone,  which is the ability to get slack notifications and send messages.  I know,  I can do this on desktop,  but I'm in some slack channels (including work) I'd like to be able to use on the go.

I saw this method:  https://www.artificialworlds.net/blog/20...on-ubuntu/ in a thread here,  and the author posted an improved method here:  https://www.artificialworlds.net/blog/20...ing-slirc/.

Before I go that route,  just want to check and see if you all have found any other ways to do this.  I am open to changing the os, if there is a distro that makes this easier.


  LCD panel replacement instructions
Posted by: mob - 09-13-2021, 04:35 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (2)

Hi,
Have any instruction or tutorial about LCD panel replacement been published for the pinophone ? I can't find any.
I made the mistake not to order a protection glass with my order, now I have scratches on my screen. Nothing crazy but I am considering changing the panel before putting a brand new glass protection. If the procedure is not too tricky...


  WORKING: GPU-accelerated Widevine Chromium for Ubuntu 64
Posted by: twilite - 09-13-2021, 11:02 AM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - No Replies

I finally got this working on my new Armbian Hirsute x64 install.
Full Netflix, Spotify, etc.
https://github.com/aubreybailey/docker-chromium-armhf

hope this helps someone.

P.S. if you're testing please let me know if this works off a pure x64 install or whether I accidentally did something clever in multi-arch to enable this. Either way, it's the x86 browser on the x64 kernel with hardware passthrough!


  Can I rollback to 9/10/2021 on Phosh using -Syyuu?
Posted by: AwHereWeGoAgain - 09-13-2021, 07:26 AM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (2)

Hey guys, I messed up an update on my pinephone which is making calls not work.  I have monthly backups so its not a big deal but I know that some Arch based distros will let you rollback updates by using "pacman -Syyuu" and modifying a config file.  I was looking to basically do that with the Pinephone but the Manjaro Arm repos look a little different than I was expecting.  Any tips on how to do this?  
Thanks


  Mobian September 13 Nightly
Posted by: bcnaz - 09-13-2021, 04:37 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (1)

I had to restart a few times for the wifi to co-operate, then ok.

the hot spot is working very well.

Be sure to complete all the settings, and run update(s).

Calls are clear calling in and out, sms text works both directions.

Tested on a Manjaro Convergent phone from a sd card, on Pure Talk sim card.


  kernel upgrade
Posted by: user641 - 09-13-2021, 01:25 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (2)

Hello, I was thinking about upgrading the kernel from 5.10 to 5.13, is it a good idea? What improvements and new features will I experience?
If so I found this tutorial of how to do it: https://wiki.debian.org/HowToUpgradeKernel
On mobian is it just update, or some other actions are needed after upgrading?


  Why do you use mobian?
Posted by: unrealb2 - 09-12-2021, 06:58 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (17)

Hi there, I just recently got a pinephone again I bought one a long time ago sold it because it was in a too early development. I got one again two days ago it shipped with manjaro plasma and I was kinda shocked at how much better the development has improved. Then I started looking at other operating systems but I noticed most of them haven't really changed much.

For instance in mobian phosh the settings is not sized properly, I haven't used it much but I thought that was interesting. Also mobian phosh seems alot slower than manjaro phosh. I'm wondering what brings people back to mobian, i'm trying to find a operating system to settle on. I was using sxmo the last two days because it is so snappy. But i'm just curious why so many people enjoy mobian, I'm sure there are reasons I can't see and will help me avoid further pitfalls in trying some other operating system then ultimately coming here hah

Cheers  Angel


  sxmo improvements
Posted by: unrealb2 - 09-12-2021, 06:49 PM - Forum: Sxmo on PinePhone - Replies (7)

Hi there is there anyone else that uses sxmo?

I was using it on my pinephone for the last two days, and i actually enjoy it.

The reason I like it is because it seems quicker than all the other operating systems,

I wonder if there is a way to make the keyboard automatically pop out when using browser or anything. I think if it had this function, it would be a much better experience. Also a automatic power manager for the screen. Gets old to have to manually turn it off. I do like the concept tho.
