| Launching OS in the SD card from p-boot in MMC |
|

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:
Code: no = 0
name = MMC card
atf = ../../usr/share/p-boot/fw.bin
dtb = ../../boot/dtbs/5.12.19-MANJARO-ARM/allwinner/sun50i-a64-pinephone-1.2.dtb
linux = ../../boot/vmlinux-5.12.19-MANJARO-ARM
bootargs = loglevel=4 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 earlycon=uart,mmio32,0x01c28000 consoleblank=0 root=PARTUUID=dffd8215-02 rw rootwait quiet bootsplash.bootfile=bootsplash-themes/manjaro/bootsplash
splash = ../../usr/share/p-boot/pboot2.argb
no = 1
name = SD card
atf = ../../usr/share/p-boot/fw.bin
dtb = ../../boot/dtbs/5.12.19-MANJARO-ARM/allwinner/sun50i-a64-pinephone-1.2.dtb
linux = ../../boot/vmlinux-5.12.19-MANJARO-ARM
bootargs = loglevel=4 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 earlycon=uart,mmio32,0x01c28000 consoleblank=0 root=PARTUUID=42516a04-02 rw rootwait quiet bootsplash.bootfile=bootsplash-themes/manjaro/bootsplash
splash = ../../usr/share/p-boot/pboot2.argb
I tried using either the PARTUUID as the root parameter as shown above or also /dev/mmcblk0p2, but none of them worked.
What am I doing wrong? Or am I trying something impossible?

| Phosh: Idles to Lockscreen Without Powering Off Display |

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
Code: # systemctl restart phosh.service
I've re-installed Arch+Phosh but the problem persists. It's a custom build so it could be one of a hundred things causing this to happen.
I looked to see if anyone else was having this problem but I couldn't find anything about it. I played around with the phosh.service file thinking the problem had something to do with the order Phosh is started but I haven't gotten anything to work. Anyone have this problem?
Edit: I solved the problem, it was caused by
Code: /usr/bin/gjs /usr/share/gnome-shell/org.gnome.ScreenSaver

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....

| Night shift for arch-phosh wayland |

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?

Greetings all, I'm a brand newbie to the Rock64, after purchasing one from an Ebay vendor. I have some exxperience with the Raspberry Pi, as well as some Ubuntu experience on one of my laptops. I therefore wanted to try Ubuntu 18.04 OS. but I'm having trouble understanding how to get it on an SD. I read the instructions, which sound very similar to the Raspberry Pi way of doing it, IE: downloading image, placing the image file on the microsd card via Win32 Imager (Using Win10 laptop) plug it in and go.
The Win32 Imager is looking for a .img file. What was downloaded from the github site was a .img.tar file. Not being sure how to deal with that, I unzipped the .tar and lo and behold there were 7 different images in the tar. Can someone please explain to me how to deal with this? Thanks.

Any ideas how to get mobile data to work on Manjaro plasma? I'm using Vodafone UK and keep getting a notification ' The modem shows no carrier' and 'IP configuration was unavailable'. I've tried 'sudo systemctl status ofonoctl' and it reports inactive (dead). I've tried to restart ofonoctl but still nothing.

| Questions and experiences using Fedora Mobile (as a PinePhone newbie) |

Hi,
would this be a good place for questions / experience reports related to using Fedora on the PinePhone?
If not, where would I best post them? On GitHub, maybe, in this repo: https://github.com/nikhiljha/pp-fedora-sdsetup?
Just in case this is a good place, let me just list them here :-)
For context, I just got my first PinePhone, and am using Megi's multi-distro image for experimentation.
I've run dnf update, which if I understand correctly does not update the kernel. But everything else should be up-to-date.
1) Using the Settings application, I have to often switch manually between landscape and portrait orientations in order to be able to close sub-windows. I do this by leaving Settings and clicking on the portrait/landscape icon. Is there a way around this?
2) Just be be sure - the display is not supposed to be switching between orientations itself when I rotate the phone, right?
3) Again just to be sure - there is just one possible screen resolution; that's to be expected too, I guess?
4) BTW, "portrait" and "landscape" are the other way round, for me ...
5) Using Calls, the sound level is extremely low (practically unhearable). This is despite system-wide, sound is set to maximum.
6) I was expecting I had to enter the PIN on startup, but I've found it's instead configured in the "Mobile Broadband" settings. Isn't this a security problem (assuming someone could log into my phone)?
7) After a phone reboot, I always have to actively turn on Mobile Broadband - is this expected?
8) Is there a roadmap for the project?
In addition to these questions, I'd be very interested of to hear what experiences others are having with Fedora Mobile, and whether people are using it "in production" or mainly for development/experiments.
Many thanks in advance!!
