I've been excited about Debian 11 (Bullseye) on the RockPro64 since hearing they've included official support for the board into the Debian installer. So I downloaded the image from https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/11....-DVD-1.iso, dumped it to a USB 3.0 stick (in the blue USB 3.0 port) and booted from the medium with a blank microSD card in the slot. That familiar installer menu comes up and boots the default selection, and then I get dropped to a GRUB command prompt every time. I do not have an eMMC drive installed in the machine. I do have Sigmaris U-Boot installed to the SPI. Any ideas what's causing Debian installer to abort like this?

Hi community members,

I freshly installed my pinephone with postmarketOS ("pmos" for short) and where able to let pmos to display traditional Chinese characters (by placing fonts inside /usr/share/fonts, through SD Card jump drive method ) in my contact list (through a vcf file from my samsung phone) and in firefox visiting some Chinese website. However, I just could not found a way to input any Chinese characters in pmos.

Back on my desktop with Linux installed, I have ibus-cangjie installed and have been using it for a very long time. As I see "Ibus" is a part of the package available in the apk application list, so I thought ibus-cangjie could be installable (or probably I could use it to input Chinese? I understand there is no Chinese virtual keyboard available either). I went through installing "git", "gcc", "m4", "automake", "gettext", and spending countless hours try to install cangjie and yet still unable to establish anything with inputing Chinese.

Is there a simple solution for inputing Chinese characters? Or am I just over doing it? Or I did not dig deep enough? Any input are all welcome.

I've noticed that a couple of apps, Geary and Cawbird (Twitter), don't appear to have a way to check for new messages. Is there something about the PP screen size that has cut off UI buttons? Or, are they just supposed to do that at some polling frequency?

Thanks.

Curious how to know if the chipset in your device is vulnerable at this point. CVE States the following "Quectel EG25-G devices through 202006130814 allow executing arbitrary code remotely by using an AT command to place shell metacharacters in quectel_handle_fumo_cfg input in atfwd_daemon."

This is pretty bad news if this is the case and it hasnt been adressed or patched somehow with a firmware update. Would love to see some further input on this if anyone has any more info on how to patch against this?

Here's how we transmit Sensor Data from PineDio Stack BL604 RISC-V Board to The Things Network, the public global LoRa network

Just Curious IF :

Anyone is interested in a more basic phone that does not attempt to be a mini-computer  ?

Maybe a step in the direction of the 'Pine Time' device.

A modem without a shared GPS, a slightly smaller device and less expensive. Maybe even a physical keyboard, and smaller screen.

Instead of competing against high spec smart phones with a low spec "smart phone"....  

A phone that is   "Just a Phone" ... ?

Maybe we can kick a few ideas around ?    MORE CHOICES  ?

I've had my PineTime for a couple of weeks. I am running 1.4.0. Now my issue is with the touchscreen, specifically when trying to wake the PineTime with either a tap or a double tap. Sometimes I can tap it 10 or more times and it still will not wake up. Sometimes only pressing the button will work.

Once the PineTime is awake the touch screen is faultless, especially on 1.4.0 so I don't believe it is a hardware issue, although I am no expert. On 1.4.0 when awake, it is fast, fluid and sensitive.

From my experience of this issue, I do believe there is correlation with the unresponsive wake up taps and the length of time the screen has been asleep and/or correlation with the known issue of loss of Bluetooth connectivity with Gadgetbridge.

Upon successfully waking the PineTime, subsequent taps to sleep and wake again, repeatedly all work fine. The issue seems to become after the PineTime screen has been asleep for a while.

Can anyone else confirm this issue or does it appear to be just me?

The PinePower 65W GaN Charger wiki and store pages both seem say that this pinepower model has a switch.
I love mine and have even bought it to give as a gift as the best future proof mobile phone charger.
I just cant see where a switch could even hide, someone help me out.
I suspect when it says:
Power

• Input: AC 100-240V 50/60Hz 1.5A Max
  
• Output: 65W
  
• Power switch
  

Hi
If I wanted to use a TFT screen from an Android tablet and plug it into Quartz64 that I have ordered is that going to be possible?
The specs of the TFT screen are "40 pin LVDS IPS 1280x800".
Are these things fairly generic?
Will I need to get a cable from somewhere and what would I need?
thanks, DNJ

I have written several SD cards and they all work from software on other machines. I have written images from SD card to emmc and had it work. Now I want to back up my emmc to an SD card and be able to boot from it.  Can I have DD read from the emmc device and write to the SD device and get that?
