I'm in the UK and I ordered a PineTime from the official store on 12th August 2021 and I started seeing tracking info on 19th August with the last update on 21st August and nothing since. The tracking is all in Chinese and upon translation seems to indicate the PineTime moving around China.

So there has been no update since the 21st, do I consider it lost? Does anyone have any experience of time scales involved with the delivery of a PineTime to the UK? Is it time to contact Pine64?

I can't send messages for the paste hour or so but have been able to receive them. I checked Signals servers and they seem to he working just fine so this seems to he an Axolotl specific problem. Anyone else having it or is it just me? I've restarted the device twice and that didn't change anything.

The one with the dual antennas from the Pine store.
ROCK64 USB 3.0 Dual Band 1200Mbps WIFI 802.11A/B/G/N/AC (RTL8812AU) Adapter

I had one lying around, and I thought since it was sold by Pine it would be plug & play. In retrospect, there are too many OS options for that to be guaranteed. But it does work, you just need to install the driver.

After noodling around a bit, I ended up using this tutorial for installing from the AUR:
Manjaro Linux Forum - Install rtl8812au-dkms-git driver

Basically it boils down to:
$ sudo pacman -S linux-pinebookpro-headers
$ sudo pacman -S bc dkms git base-devel pamac-cli --needed
$ pamac build rtl8812au-dkms-git

(You need the exact header package for your kernel; linux-headers wasn't the right one.)

Choose to (e)dit the build files and change the arch in the PKGBUILD to aarch64. Installing the DKMS module takes a while because it's actually compiling it at that point.

Then plug in the adapter and the module loads. No reboot needed. No need to disable the built-in WiFi, Network Manager correctly manages both.

There, now next time someone's searching the forum for RTL8812AU it will have an up-to-date hit.

The adapter comes with no instructions. You're a linux nerd, you know what to do. dmesg --follow, lsusb, and start googling.

Hi, I am a proud owner of a recently acquired (used) Pinebook Pro. It's working fine, except that I can't figure out the keyboard layout. I believe this was the initial release, which research suggests means a UK 104 key ISO keyboard layout (?) (It has a 128 GB internal emmc).

I have Manjaro XFCE freshly installed on the internal emmc. I found a couple videos on YouTube, but the "settings" menus they show are not the same as what I find. The enter key on this one is an inverted "L" shape and the slash/pipe key is to the right of the lefthand shift key.

Suggestions?

I wasn't able to use my phone as an actual phone, because my service provider will only register it as a hotspot, and not a phone. I don't know why. Anyway, I use this device for very little. Honestly, the main reason I got it was so that I could use gMusicBrowser on my phone, and keep my music synced with my computer.

The functions I think are essential for my 'phone':

1. Play my music with gmusicbrowser
   
2. Sync my music with nextcloud
   

• A browser, proxied through tor so I can look stuff up and have privacy.
  

How/where to buy pinephone in Poland?
Is there anyone here selling it or better should i order here?

I managed to sit on my laptop (didn't see it in the chair) and I heard a faint crackle sound and knew that was the screen breaking.

I opened the laptop to see that the screen isn't completely destroyed, but there's about a 1" by 1" area where the pixels show all white in two lines making a 90 degree intersection.

I emailed sales to ask about purchasing a replacement, but I'm not hopeful given the LCD shortages right now.  Does anyone know if it's possible to purchase just the LCD panel, or if there's compatible LCD panels?

The PBP is now my daily-driver and I feel lost with a damaged screen.

Hello,

I'm working on a custom Wasp-OS watch face to include the current step count. I'm using "watch.accel.steps" to get the step count value, which I picked up by looking at the step counter app included with Wasp-OS.

My app works in the simulator, but crashes on the device.

I tried to check the step count in a console on the watch using wasptool, and got this:

Q: I only see the kernel linux-image-5.10-sunxi64 in apt. I am running bullseye. How can I get a newer kernel ?

A: At the time of writing, 5.10 is the latest image available in bullseye for the Pinephone. To get a more recent kernel you will have to upgrade to a newer version. For instance after switching to bookworm you can install linux-image-5.13-sunxi64

(Sorry if this is noise. I post this in the hope the search engines will find it: I had to ask the kind folks on the Mobian's Matrix/Telegram channel to figure that).
