  skull and crossbones !
Posted by: Nobot - 07-31-2021, 08:05 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

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?


  Purism Chat Local Files

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


  [Phosh] Remapping keys of an external keyboard
Posted by: Zombie Feynman - 07-31-2021, 09:24 AM - Forum: PinePhone Accessories - No Replies

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:

Code:
    key <I180> {         [    XF86HomePage ]
I changed XF86HomePage to Escape and tried to reinsert the keymap with xkbcomp, but some searching reveals that this is not possible on Wayland. So I instead added
Code:
    key <I180> { [    Escape, XF86HomePage ] };
to the intl section in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us and rebooted. But this did not remap the key; rather, the xkbcomp output now shows
Code:
    key <I180> {         [    XF86HomePage,    XF86HomePage ] };

I guess something is overriding the change, but I don't know what exactly, or even how to find out. I'm unfamiliar with the whole Wayland/GNOME/Phosh stack (I've never had a need for anything other than X11), so I feel like I'm really out of my depth here. Does anyone know how to proceed with this?


  KDE password
Posted by: freeduck - 07-31-2021, 08:47 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (1)

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?


  Upgraded Modem Failing To Register On UBPorts Edition
Posted by: DingDangDoong - 07-31-2021, 06:31 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (9)

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!!!  Huh

Some things:

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

  I totally destroyed my Pinebook Pro by accident.
Posted by: Nobot - 07-30-2021, 06:12 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (5)

It is not physically damaged in anyway. I totasted the set up. It will no longer boot via eMMc or USB mini drive flash card. I tried to reflash the internal eMMC and placed the boot in the second spot. Then tried deleting the mistake. You could still boot from the flashdrive a week ago but I let the computer sit for a week turned off. If anything happens now I get either a blinking cursor in the upper left hand screen or nothing but a red light and them it dies. Sometimes it goes to green and then dies. Sometimes no light at all. I am totally still a noob at this after one year. I totally messed up before I tried to reflash the eMMC.  Any advice?  Huh


  rock64-debian-mrfixit-190531.img.xz : missing /usr/lib/dri/rockchip_dri.so

Hello !

I have a V3 Rock64. No PSU or HDMI issues : i have XU4, RPI-1, RPI-2, BPI-M5 without problems.

- rock64-debian-mrfixit-190531.img.xz >> SD Card  :  it lags very much, when moving windows with LXDE.
- rock64-debian-mrfixit-190531.img.xz >> mmc Card (Foresee 16 Go) : i can't start X, xorg doesn't find /usr/lib/dri/rockchip_dri.so. Can't find this file on my disk.

- Armbian >> black lines on screen when moving windows in XFCE.
- Armbian >> dashboard moving up an down quickly when i move some windows (ex : PCManFM, but not galculator (?))

- Slackware XFCE : works great, but no dependencies supported by this OS (?).

- Ubuntu : i don't want.

- FreeBSD .img for Rock64 doesn't boot.

What distros work on your V3 board, please ?

  JTAG/SWD on Quartz64 model A
Posted by: capablegh - 07-30-2021, 02:33 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Quartz64 - Replies (4)

Hello.

The Quartz64 model A I purchased should be here in a few days. I would like to connect a JTAG/SWD debugger to it. 

Where could I find documentation where this is described? In the schematics for the board, I see mention of JTAG in few places, but I am not sure where physically the pins are on the board. 

Can anyone provide specifics? Also, aside from the RK3566 datasheet are there any reference manuals/guides for the board? Where can I find these? Also, the same for the Quartz64.
