  I built a reminder app but can't seem to build a deb/snap/flatpak for it, help?
Posted by: ragreenburg - 09-06-2021, 11:14 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (9)

I built a reminder app which has been super useful since the gnome-calendar is pretty small and far from user friendly. I have been trying to make a snap/flatpak/deb file for it but have been having tons of problems with it. Can anyone here help me with it? I would prefer getting it up on snap/flatpak because this should in theory work with anything running phosh.

This is my source code:

Also, I haven't commented the source code super well so sorry about that, I will hopefully being doing that this week.


  Aclaratory notes about e-ink
Posted by: zxorg - 09-05-2021, 01:55 PM - Forum: PineNote Hardware - Replies (15)

This video says the Pine Note has 60Hz refresh rate:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwMKfQtSXPE

Does it mean that the screen is continuously refreshing like a LCD/OLED smartphone? Isn't e-ink supposed to stay put forever unless it's changed? I say that because backlight PWM is bad for the eyes.

Also, would like to know how good is this screen compared to Amazon Kindle Paperwhite. I want the thing closes possible to a real book.


  Pinephone shipping to UK
Posted by: nb8550 - 09-05-2021, 10:13 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (2)

Does anyone know if Pinephone orders to the UK are shipped from Poland or Hong Kong? and how long it takes?


  Pinecil cuts out / reboots during soldering
Posted by: onestwos - 09-04-2021, 02:27 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinecil - Replies (20)

My new Pinecil arrived, it all seemed promising. But when I touch the hot iron on a circuit board or capacitor it has a tendency to cut out, or reboot.

I think it's rebooting when touched against even the most tiny charge, making it impossible to solder with it. Pinecil blacks out and returns to standby constantly.

Am I doing something wrong?

These are just regular PC motherboards, or other electronics for repair. I can't imagine it's necessary to fully 100% discharge everything, as well as not being practical. And even if so I'd expect this to have been noticed by YouTube reviewers etc.

This is with PinePower and Pine's USB cable. I also had the same experience using a QuickCharge battery pack and a different cable. I ordered 2 Pinecils (one for a friend) which was helpful for testing; both do the same thing.

Is there something I'm missing here? Advice appreciated -- thanks.


  p-boot images
Posted by: Flin - 09-04-2021, 02:25 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Lately have been testing PinePhone beta with convergence.
Went through all OSes on b-boot and they all work like a charm, including the dock (charger, USB, HDMI, Ethernet)
What I noticed is that all OSes on b-boot use Megi's patched 5.13-rc4 kernel.

Then the next steps for me was to install Mobian with FDE to eMMC, all went well except HDMI is not working with the dock.

I tried bullseye, bookworm, unstable up to kernel 5.13 but none of them fix the HDMI issue.

Question:

Did anyone try to install Mobian version from b-boot to eMMC with FDE enabled?

or

Is it better to install Megi's kernel and any other patches on top of standard Mobian distro build?


Star Looking to buy a Pinebook Pro in Europe
Posted by: cypresstwist - 09-04-2021, 02:02 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

Hi

I would like to buy a Pinebook Pro from someone willing to ship to Romania, preferably from someone in the European Union. I would also like one with a US keyboard. Payment via bank transfer. I don't think I can PM yet since this is only my second post here. My e-mail is psiholog at coloja dot com (in case I cannot answer here).


  Cryptocurrency payment option and Pine hardware wallet, any thoughts?
Posted by: ohuw67 - 09-04-2021, 01:41 PM - Forum: General - Replies (11)

The title says it all. I'm curious to what's the community's take on adding cryptocurrency as an option to pay for Pine products, and also about having hardware wallets manufactured and shipped to you by the Pine project.


  How do I even turn that thing on?

  after dist-upgrade, terminal is broken
Posted by: nelstomlinson - 09-04-2021, 09:36 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (9)

Running Mobian Bookworm on a Beta edition PP. Yesterday I did sudo apt dist-upgrade, and this morning I notice that the terminal stopped working. I swiped up and tried to restart it, no go, it won't start. None of the programs will start!

Looks like I'll have to go back to an image I dd'd last week, and try again. 

Anybody else seeing this? I don't want to upgrade until this is behind us.
