| How To: Set up custom scaling for those who want sizes between 100%-200% |

Hello, I have been attempting to figure out how to setup custom scaling in the pine phone as the default 200% is WAY to big for all apps to work well and 100% gets apps working well but makes the keyboard so small it becomes difficult to type.
I have read several articles concerning the Librem 5 and have come up with the following fix.
(Please note that I am using other peoples work so please credit them where they are due. I will post links to the sites I got everything from.)
Step one.
We will be using an application called "wlr-randr" and we will be installing it from Github.
To begin, we must first install "Git"
Code: sudo apt update
sudo apt install git
After this is done we can begin installing "wlr-randr"
I added sudo after "meson build" and "ninja -c build" as you do need elevated privileges to run these.
Code: sudo apt install build-essential ninja-build meson cmake libwayland-dev pkg-config
git clone https://github.com/emersion/wlr-randr
cd wlr-randr
sudo meson build
sudo ninja -C build
sudo cp build/wlr-randr /usr/local/bin
Now the part we have been waiting for 
This will scale your screen to a size in between 100 and 200 percent.
Code: wlr-randr --output DSI-1 --scale 1.5
Personally I ended up sticking with "wlr-randr --output DSI-1 --scale 1.35" as anything smaller uses the smaller keyboard that is used in 100% scaling. This way I get the best of both worlds.
Hope this helps folks out.
Sometime soon, I hope to give this a shot on Manjaro Phosh and see how it goes. Currently, I have only got it working on Mobian.
It appears you can also make a GUI for this using YAD. The link below has the details on that.

| How To: set up custom lock screen and app-grid for Phosh based systems |

So I just wanted to make this information more readily available to those who are new or want a custom lock screen for their pine phone. I love the Phosh based OS's but I wanted a little more glam like PlasMo had.
I just want everyone to know that I didn't come up with any of this information. It was all posted originally by Lowkeylone on Reddit.
https://www.reddit.com/r/pinephone/comme...to_phoshs/
Basically you need to create a new file. It will be located in this folder ----> ~/.config/gtk-3.0 and it will be called "gtk.css"
(I did this on my laptop with the SD card inserted so I could use mouse and keyboard to save me a little hassle.)
Copy and paste this data into your new file:
Code: /*
* Set a background for the lockscreen.
*/
phosh-lockscreen, .phosh-lockshield {
background-image: linear-gradient(rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7)),
url('file:///home/lowkey/Pictures/background.jpg');
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
}
/*
* Set a background for the app grid.
*/
phosh-app-grid {
background-image: linear-gradient(rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7)),
url('file:///home/lowkey/Pictures/background.jpg');
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
}
Make sure you change the file paths to match the image file you want to use.
For best results it was suggested that the file be resized to 720X1440. I simply used gimp to crop/resize the image.
It went well for me. I just had to make it my wallpaper as well for it to seem seamless while loading apps and stuff.
This should work on other OS's that run Phosh as well.
Good luck!

| Crash when Updating Manjaro-Plasma. Hanging on "checking available disk space" |

Good evening. I acquired a Pinephone – Beta Edition with Convergence Package back in March and initially found the operating system to crash continually. I came back a couple of months later to it and tried to update the Manjaro to see if things had improved. After several hours of putting error messages into Google I have manged to get the phone mostly updated apart from an error which I believe is near the tail end of the process.
The issue is that the Pinephone seems to become unresponsive whilst "checking available disk space". I have no idea why this is happening.
Last few lines of SSH terminal:
Quote:Total Installed Size: 3775.60 MiB
Net Upgrade Size: 244.18 MiB

(453/453) checking for file conflicts [#############################################] 100%
( 87/457) checking available disk space [########-------------------------------------] 19%
I have checked the disk space itself:

Qt: 5.15.2

kf5-config: 1.0
Other details that might be relevant are that I have also experienced the screen flicker / going blank since embarking on the update process and that I the power brick I am using is an Apple iPhone /iPad one which is below the recommended specifications (15W – 5V 3A from store page) at only 5V 1A.
Any help with this issue would be much appreciated, even if it is just pointing to a pre-existing article fixing this problem.
Kind regards,
A new Pinephone owner.

| OpenBSD booting from SATA |

Hi !
I would like to install OpenBSD (6.9 at the time of writing) on an encrypted RAID1 device.
After struggling for a very long time with a defective PCIe to SATA card, I finally managed to finish the installation process. But I'm not able to boot from SATA.
I've flashed SPI with u-boot and put the dtb (and even u-boot) on 'i' partition of the disk, but didn't manage to have it boot successfully.
Is there a way to make it work ?

| Is my VoLTE working? |

Hi, I followed all the instructions I could find to get VoLTE working. My carrier "Consumer Cellular" uses AT&T network which is soon totally disabling 3G so I must get VoLTE working. However I'm not sure if it is working. I need help understanding it.
I have Manjaro CE with Phosh.
I reached the carrier support and they succesfuly detected the modem model and enabled something on their end to allow VoLTE.
I followed the VoLTE steps on the main PinePhone wiki page.
Code: AT+QCFG="ims"
+QCFG: "ims",1,1
OK
The 4G indicator shows in the UI. To test, I called my wife.
Code: #Start call to my wife:
[root@manjaro-arm ~]# echo 'AT+CLCC' | atinout - /dev/EG25.AT -
+CLCC: 2,1,0,1,0,"",128
+CLCC: 1,1,0,1,0,"",128
+CLCC: 3,0,0,0,0,"4436179824",129,"Andrea"
+CLCC: 4,1,0,1,0,"",128
OK
#Hang up:
[root@manjaro-arm ~]# echo 'AT+CLCC' | atinout - /dev/EG25.AT -
+CLCC: 2,1,0,1,0,"",128
+CLCC: 1,1,0,1,0,"",128
OK
[root@manjaro-arm ~]# echo 'AT+QNWINFO' | atinout - /dev/EG25.AT -
+QNWINFO: "FDD LTE","310410","LTE BAND 2",700
OK
Elsewhere I have read that the fourth value of AT+CLCC tells you whether the voice is carried by VoLTE. The Quectel AT command reference says ony this about it:
<mode>Bearer/tele service
0: Voice
1: Data
2: FAX
However the line with my wife's phone number has a 0 in that position. Still I wonder, with all the other symptoms lining up??

| Audiobook Player Thread |

I am curious what people are playing audiobooks on with their Pinephones, I think the defining trait of an audiobook player is that it saves your postion in the 'book' between listening sessions; bookmarks, skipping << < > >> controls, and playlists are important too as is playing most all formats.
I feel like a podcast player would be yet another category aside from music and audiobooks with much emphasis on browsing, auto-downloading, and organizing played/unplayed podcasts after reviewing gnome podcasts.
I consider an audiobook player to be a daily driver essential as I prefer books to music when driving long distances.
On my N900 I ran the simple but effective Panucci which is FOSS, I have not had a chance to try to compile for Mobian.
https://github.com/gpodder/panucci
Panucci works well but only plays MP3 files, it also will wipe progress if I try to run the app without the current media found.
What do you recommend to play audiobooks on your pinephone?

In dmesg I have these error lines repeated multiple times:
sunxi-mmc 1c0f000.mmc: data error, sending stop command
sunxi-mmc 1c0f000.mmc: send stop command failed
mmc_erase: group start error -110, status 0x0
[...]
[b]mmc_erase: group start error -110, status 0x0[/b]
This is a bit strange because I am running from the sdcard.
Should I be worried ? Is my emmc dying ?
