  Update of new watch consistently fails
Posted by: bitreaper - 06-13-2021, 07:46 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - Replies (5)

Hi,

I was wondering if others had run into this issue, and if there's any suggestions on how to fix it.  Need to see if there's something I can do before having to RMA the watch.

Preliminary details:

  • I bought the dev kit
  • The sealed watch does not make it through the first update step (upgrade of infinitime from stock 0.7.1 to 1.0)
  • The dev watch does make it through the update list.
I have attempted:
  • Following instructions on the update wiki page
  • using GadgetBridge to upload initially
  • uninstalling GadgetBridge while using nRF Connect, to ensure there's no conflict
  • most attempts used nRF Connect, latest version 4.24
  • Connecting, bonding, changing LE phy from
  • Trying from two different phones, a Galaxy 20 Note (first attempts) finally going to Galaxy 8 Note.  Same result.
Symptoms of each try:
  • Gets through some percentage of the load, random each time.  Sometimes 75%, sometimes 18%.
  • Connection drops, nRF Connect attempts to restart it
  • watch bluetooth is offline until I reset it with the 8-second-button-press reboot trick.
  • until retry, watch isn't in scan list
It also just occurred to me that while I had the watch charging I was playing with it attached to GadgetBridge, and noticed that some notifications got through, but then it dropped off being attached.  I wonder if the bluetooth transceiver is at fault and not a software glitch.

Thoughts from the community?

UPDATE:  I was finally able to get the watch to update 100%, and then the following updates to the bootloader and rescue went OK as well.  In the true vein of that phrase "definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and again expecting different results" I tried again.  I think the only thing I changed was letting nRF Connect pick the PHY.  It was glacial to update though compared to the dev watch.  Since then, It hasn't lost bluetooth connectivity to my phone running GadgetBridge.  I'm mostly interested in WASP-OS, so I'll be attempting that later today.  We'll see how that goes.


  Fix for online account login
Posted by: Nooblife - 06-13-2021, 06:34 AM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - Replies (1)

You can now test the fix for online account login on ubports:

the fix is here

for google accounts there's an additional step: here

the fix requires that you run on devel channel or kernel upgrade channel.

  Cannot run onionshare-gui on pp manjaro plasma
Posted by: scott_VYuCAbn3k1NFK - 06-12-2021, 11:07 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - No Replies

Hi all,

I tried to install onionshare (https://onionshare.org/) on Manjaro Plasma. I installed through Discover, but looks like I could also have done:

Code:
sudo pacman -S onionshare

Upon selecting onionshare from the launcher menu, nothing happens.

The .desktop file for onionshare executes "onionshare-gui".

I tried running that on the command line and I get:

Code:
ImportError: /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/PyQt5/QtGui.abi3.so: undefined symbol: _ZTI18QOpenGLTimeMonitor, version Qt_5

It turns out I can get the same error by just running python, and then typing:
Code:
from PyQt5 import QtGui

Has anyone hit a similar error already? I haven't done any Qt development in python, but this looks like it would be a fairly important package?


  Arch auto mount usb example
Posted by: Lazy_one - 06-12-2021, 09:30 PM - Forum: Arch Linux on PinePhone - Replies (2)

After 2 days of head banging and following the wrong answers on google, I finally got my usb to auto mount as user on the Arch Phosh install.

There is no guaranties this will work as everything in linux is dynamic and what worked one day doesn't the next. 

Here is what I did I create 3 file  

/etc/udev/rules.d/99-usb-mount.rules

Quote:ACTION=="add",KERNEL=="sd[a-z][0-9]*",SUBSYSTEMS=="usb",RUN+="/bin/systemctl start usb-mount@%k.service"

ACTION=="remove",KERNEL=="sd[a-z][0-9]*",SUBSYSTEMS=="usb",RUN+="/bin/systemctl stop usb-mount@%k.service"


/etc/systemd/system/usb-mount@.service
Quote:[Unit]
Description=Mount USB Drive on %i
[Service]
Type=simple
User=alarm
Group=alarm
ExecStart=/home/alarm/bin/mountusb.sh add %i
ExecStop=/home/alarm/bin/mountusb.sh remove %i
RemainAfterExit=true
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target



/home/alarm/bin/mountusb.sh
Quote:#!/bin/bash

ACTION=$1
DEVBASE=$2
DEVICE="/dev/${DEVBASE}"

case "${ACTION}" in
    add)
        /usr/bin/udisksctl mount -b ${DEVICE}
        ;;
    remove)
        /usr/bin/udisksctl unmount -b ${DEVICE}
        ;;
esac



Don't forget to chmod -x mountusb.sh it can be called anything and put anywhere, obvious use your path in the usb-mount@.service file.

I found rebooting the phone more reliable than 

Quote:udevadm control --reload-rules

systemctl daemon-reload



EDIT: Check the Second Post, I forgot the polkit edit. If it works without it great, but I am sure it was critical... (end EDIT)

After just plug in a usb and it should auto mount. 

I did manage to get a sound to play, but that was a whole other story and twice as painful as getting the usb working.

Hope it's useful to someone Big Grin


  Image Roll - new image viewer for phosh/gnome
Posted by: weclaw - 06-12-2021, 05:19 PM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (3)

Hi everyone,

I have created a new image viewer which can be used over the stock one.
UI was created with linux phones in mind, it can also do basic image editing.

You can install the flatpak from here: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.git....ImageRoll
Repository: https://github.com/weclaw1/image-roll

In the future I will try to add it to linux distros repositories.

Let me know what you think and how I can improve it.


  Best power supply?
Posted by: naviathan - 06-12-2021, 01:37 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinecil - Replies (4)

Whats a good power supply for the Pinecil? I thought maybe my laptop USB C connection would work, but it only outputs 9v apparently. So What type of power ratings should I be looking for?


  Trackpad film
Posted by: clockcycles - 06-12-2021, 12:48 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (5)

Ok, I just got my new ANSI Pinebook Pro today, I have one stupid question..

The trackpad is described at matte everywhere I looked, on mine it's shiny and maybe has a film attached. Is there a film I should remove? I don't want to damage it by trying when I shouldn't...

Thanks!

Question Best Way of Receiving Calls Without SIM (VOIP)
Posted by: lovepine88 - 06-12-2021, 12:46 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (16)

I would like to be able to receive calls without using a SIM.

Is there an easy way to setup VOIP over Pine so that it will ring and I can accept calls if I have Internet? I'd prefer something where I don't have to manualy refresh to see if there are incoming calls.

I would also like a real number that goes to the VOIP.

How do I do this?

Hello again,
Is there any way to configure suspend? My alarm didn't go off yesterday, I found a missed call, and I have my perennial problem of not being able to play more than 1 song before manjaro-arm phosh beta 11 goes into suspend mode. Thanks.


  User Interface (Plasma Mobile) Queries
Posted by: dgiffin - 06-12-2021, 04:42 AM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (1)

New user, couple of simple questions about the user interface for Plasma Mobile:


  1. is there a basic user guide to the UI? What do the various screen icons do, pull down vs pull up and so on?
  2. I have a red dot by the phone app icon - what does it mean? The phone works
Web searches haven't turned anything up that helped.
