Hello,

Could somebody please help me to boot an operating system on my Pinebook Pro other than Fedora? After following this guide (https://nullr0ute.com/2021/05/fedora-on-...ebook-pro/), I successfully installed U-Boot to my PBP's SPI flash. I love Fedora, but I would really like to have the option to boot another OS from MicroSD or USB without having to zero out the SPI flash (and thus rendering my Fedora install unbootable). I really don't know where to begin, so any help would be appreciated!

So Plasma isn't stable enough to use IMHO, but Phosh is unusable for me because I have big fingers and I hit the bottom bar like every 3rd word. Plus, why should it take up so much of my screen? Can I please have some way to make that bottom bar for returning to the app menu just a corne  icon? Pleeeease let there be a way.

Hello all

I'm impressed with the ability to wake up from suspend/crust when a phone call or text comes in. But this won't work for email.

I'm looking for the best way to have the PinePhone wake up every 30 minutes, check email/matrix/signal/etc, then go back to sleep.

I've had some luck with systemd timers, but I haven't been able to work this into a complete solution. I'll stop here for brevity and post another post with more info on my partial solution.

Thank you

[EDIT 2022/05/24:] I did eventually get a hackish version of this to work. See post number https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...0#pid98450 for how I did it.

Hi, I ordered a Pinephone on July 23 and I was wondering when I would receive tracking or an estimate on how long it takes to arrive. I've ordered one before from you guys but i forget how long the process takes.

The reason i ask is because I received a text from what I perceive as spam because it claimed to be associated with DHL but the link it gave me was from a weird website that did not include dhl.com, and it was also created less than 24's since it was sent. 

Anyway's any input is appreciated.

I am not making this up. I pressed the ESC, shift control, alt, buttons while booting up the pinebook pro via SD card and on the display a red skull and crossbones appeared. I might not remember the correct sequence of keys because it was about three weeks ago. I think is some kind of kill feature written in the code. Anyone know about this?

Does anyone know where purism chat has its local files hidden? I can't find them for the life of me...

I recently bought a no-brand foldable Bluetooth keyboard (picture) for use with my PinePhone (running Mobian). The basic keys work fine, and I got deadkeys/lv3/compose to work by firing up dconf-editor and editing /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/sources and /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options.

Unfortunately, though, some of the special keys don't work as expected. Fn+[top row keys] always produces the keysym of the "upper" blue function instead of the "lower" one, e.g. Fn+` produces XF86HomePage instead of Escape, and similar for the other top-row keys. wev reveals that Fn+` produces keycode 180, and indeed, in the output of xkbcomp, I see:

Hi All,

I changed my password to something containing letters and numbers on my pinephone community KDE.
But the login screen only has numbers.

How do I change it from my PC over USB?

I ordered an upgrade board to swap into a UBPorts edition I have. Swap was successful and the phone could detect all hardware when using factory test but I experienced odd behavior when I put a SIM in it.

The phone would detect the SIM was inserted and even show signal strength and type ("bar meter" and 2G/3G/4G notifications in top left of phosh) but the modem would never register with the network. Specifically the modem details would show signal type as "lte" and provide a signal strength metric but the network status would be "unregistered."

I swapped the 2GB ram board back in and the phone works now...

Really at a loss here, has anyone ever seen this behavior? Was I supposed to do something with the modem after swapping the board in? I was so close to USB-C!!! 

Some things:

• No, the SIM doesn't have a pin
  
• Yes, the SIM is activated
  
• SIM is an AT&T BYOD straight talk
  

would it be possible to use my old Nokia n800 to connect to the pinetime 64
