Hello people, just saw on twitter the new PINEBOOK Pro USB-C Docking Deck.
I have 2 question though:

1. Does this USB-C dock work with any USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 port say MSi notebook?
   
2. In my consideration the cable is too short. Some notebooks have the USB-C on the back of the computer so you need at least half a meter to put the dock properly on the side, otherwise you have to buy an extension.
   

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
