  PineTab for distance teaching
Posted by: ggna - 10-11-2021, 12:12 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - Replies (2)

Hi,

I am looking for a lightweight (and possibly cheap) tablet or 2-in-1 device, running linux (preferably Ubuntu, or Ubuntu Touch, where both MsTeams and https://openboard.ch can be installed), whose touchscreen is working under linux and compatible with/quickly responsive to a stylus.

Some connectivity is also required (wi-fi, hdmi for external monitor/projector, and a headphone+mic jack).

My main use for that would be distance teaching (I currently use a combination of laptop + wacom board, which is not so lightweight).

Microsoft Surface would be ideal (even though not so cheap), but its touchscreen is not compatible with Linux (let alone using it with a stylus).

A PineTab would be an option, but I am not sure about its responsiveness to a stylus, and it seems as if PineTabs are out-of-stock anyway.

Could anyone comment on the above? Is any PineTab Pro perhaps going to be developed and put on sale any time from now?

Many thanks and best regards,

Giuseppe.


  Dekko 2 forces reboot
Posted by: Fred Zyphal - 10-10-2021, 03:38 PM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - Replies (7)

I searched far and wide, and couldn't find anything about this exact phenomenon, though one other person talked of it "crashing the phone".

I do the OTA updates almost daily, and I've noticed that the first time I try to start Dekko 2 after an update, it "crashes the phone", or forces an OS (UI) restart.  After the Dekko forced restart, I can open and close Dekko 2 at will, as many times as I want.  This led me to experiment, and I found that it's not strictly after an OTA update, but anytime I do a full restart for any reason, the next time I try to open Dekko 2 it will force it's own (UI) restart, then after the Dekko forced restart it's fine.

Is anyone else seeing this issue, and more importantly does anyone have any idea why it would be happening?


  Dead Microphone?
Posted by: Pulsar - 10-10-2021, 01:44 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (4)

I can't seem to get my pinephone manjaro community edition to record audio. Things I've tried:

  • Booting different versions of Manjaro Arch and Mobian from the SD.
  • Changing sample rates and gain settings for pulse and alsa.
  • Disassembling the phone and checking connections.
  • Plugging an earphone/mic combo into the headphone jack.

I can only get silence or static out of the audio recorder app.

Do I need a new phone or is there some software setting I've overlooked?


  Safe to upgrade Bookworm again?
Posted by: nelstomlinson - 10-10-2021, 10:29 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (2)

A couple of days ago I tried updating Bookworm, and after an apparently successful update, I rebooted and it hung at the Mobian splash screen. I finally had to restore the image I had saved immediately before the update. I then noticed that there hadn't been a nightly image since 4 October.  Today I checked again and see there are nightlys from 9 and 10 October. 

Can anybody confirm that those nightlys boot and run fine? or that it's again safe to run sudo apt upgrade?

  PinePhone connects to Wi-Fi then disconnects (Initial setup)
Posted by: Charlie00Green - 10-09-2021, 10:15 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - No Replies

PinePhone64 Community Edition will not connect to home Wi-Fi (Asus AX11000) @2.4GHz
Using Distro. “Manjaro-ARM-plasma-mobile-pinephone – 20210423.img.xz”


The following (below) is what is reported by my AX11000 when trying to setup PinePhone64
For reporting below the MAC ADDRESS has been removed and substituted with: [MAC Address Removed] My Router connects for a brief few seconds and then disconnects. No problems exist for other Wi-Fi connections. How can I correct the PinePhone64 from disconnecting? This is what my AX11000 System Log reports:

Auth, [MAC Address Removed] status: Successful (0), rssi:0
Oct 8 09:50:39 wlceventd: wlceventd_proc_event(556): wl0.2: Assoc [MAC Address Removed], status: Successful (0), rssi:0
Oct 8 09:50:39 wlceventd: wlceventd_proc_event(491): wl0.2: Deauth_ind [MAC Address Removed], status: 0, reason: Deauthenticated because sending station is leaving (or has left) IBSS or ESS (3), rssi:0

The problem is that after entering the password the phone connect and then disconnects using Wi-Fi. I have not been able to get to trying to set up the phone for cell service since I can't get past the Wi-Fi setup connection. Help appreciated....

Hello.

I see it as good opportunity here to add a marketplace forum, where users can request and offer all Pine64 products they have for sale.
