Last week I asked @"Aberts10" to do a bit of cleaning on the forum. Threads that haven't seen activity prior to January 2021 have been locked to prevent "necro-posting". Content of the threads is still available, of course.
Stickied threads have also been reviewed to make sure they're still relevant.

| Help! My PBP suddenly blacks out completely out of nowhere |

Hello,
I have a big problem... Soon we switch from HomeOffice to presence teaching at my professional school and I need a working PBP there. All my past notes live inside Xournal files and I'm very bad at using pens, so I completely relied on my PBP in school.
Since a few weeks, I randomly encounter the following problem:
Out of sudden, mostly when moving the PBP gently the screen blacks out instantaneously, only the backlight stays on. The only thing I may do then is to turn it off via holding the power key.
It isn't just the screen, as I was hearing music lately and it blacked out, the music stopped too and 2 seconds from there my bluetooth headphones played there "disconnected" tts voice.
I also looked at journalctl, but there are no traces of whatsoever. Thinking it may be a loose eMMC or the latest kernel upgrade I grabbed a fresh manjaro image, dd'ed it onto an µSD card and booted from that. It didn't even took me 10mins while configuring the new system to hit the black-out problem :/
Looking inside, nothing seems to be odd, I checked all the connectors, replugged them but that dind't change anything.
Now I'm "at the end of my latin" how you would sometimes say in germany. I don't know what to do now and I didn't find any other mentions of such a problem here or via google. So i may ask: Has anyone any idea how I can fix this, debug this or where to look for further help?
Kind regards,
Jochen

Hello,
I have a ANSI Pinebook Pro I’d like to sell. I love the computer, but I’d rather go back to linux on Intel for software reasons. This laptop has been lightly used… see pictures in the post below. It will come with the 2 meter power cable and a 5v/3amp charger.
I’m asking $180, and I will pay the shipping within the US. I plan to use UPS to ship. I'm open to globally shipping, but that would probably be an extra charge (don't yet know anything about shipping globally).
Feel free to private message with any questions.
Thanks,
Andy
Edited price to $180. I’d rather the pbp go to someone in this awesome community, rather than listing elsewhere.

| After update black screen and unable to boot anything |

Hi,
I updated my Manjaro KDE installation (Pinephone 32Gb/3Gb) recently, and after that I cannot even boot into an OS. I tried first with the eMMC, does not work. Then I tried several images from the SD (Manjaro, PostMarket, Mobian, even JumpDrive). No one works, the phone just vibrates, and the screen lights during 5 seconds, but nothing happen after that. I tried also with the reet botton.
Any suggestion?, thanks in advance

| Always-On VPN issues at boot. Need to manually activate it.. What did i miss.. |

Hi. I tried this guide.. I think i did everything right, but i might have missed something...
https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php...networking
Always-On VPN
VPN functionality will be added to Gnome-Control-Center in the future, but for now you can configure this via
. This guide will explain how to import an OpenVPN connection, and then configure other connections to require it as a “secondary”. (see the always great Arch wiki for more on this)
1. Add OpenVPN support for NetworkManager by running
Code: sudo apt install network-manager-openvpn
.
2. Import your OpenVPN .ovpn file by running
Code: sudo nmcli connection import type openvpn file {yourovpnfile.ovpn}
3. Until this is integrated with gnome-keyring, you must store your username and password in the .nmconnection file (currently insecure due to lack of disk encryption, which is coming in the future as well). Edit your VPN config in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections, where the file is {youropenvpnfilename}.nmconnection. Change the
to 0. At the bottom of the [vpn] block, add
Code: username={your username}
. Then, below the [vpn] block, add the following:
[vpn-secrets]
password={your vpn password}
4. Obtain the UUID of your VPN connection by running
Code: sudo nmcli con show {your vpn connection name}
; the UUID is the second line.
5. In the same directory, you can now modify any connection, including your cellular one, to bring up and require the VPN connection by adding this to the end of the [connection] block:
(dont forget the trailing semi-colon).
6. Restart NetworkManager with
Code: sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
for the changes to take effect.
The thing is.. I seem to need to activate
Code: sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager at every reboot.. My original ip is showing at boot it seems like, but is fixed with that command. What could the issue be?
Is this the best way to set up an ovpn file at the moment? Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,
once every few days, sometimes weeks, my phone's system time leaps to 22 July 2116, which of course has a lot of side effects (on axolotl, geary, calendar and so on).
Has anybody else experienced this? And is there a fix?
Best, Anna

for some reason my key board is doing something weird. Every time I press the number one or the letter q, it enters the number 2 or w. so I reinstalled mobian and the same thing happened. this is a deal breaker for me. so if someone can help that would be great. For now, my sim card is going back into my android.
