I've had the pinephone a few months now. It is not my regular phone, for me it is just a fun hobby. I've been using Phosh on Arch. 

Today was audio play day. I unpacked a few hundred sound files I've collected over the years. Most were wave and I converted them using ffmpeg to ogg.
I played them on my PC and found some froze mpv when playing, so weeded them out. 

Now I am starting to play them on the phone and find that not only is pulse spitting an error "Stream error: Timeout" after a frustrating delay, but once I get that error I can not reboot, shutdown or any other admin task. It won't even let me drop down the top bar or login from the login shield.

I've played the files on an updated fresh install. Via the terminal and via ssh.

My PinePhone works normally, but when the screen turns off by any reason (inactivity or because I pressed he button on the side), the phone shuts-down immediately. To explain better, as the screen turns-off, the phone seems normal, but when I press the button again, nothing happens for a few seconds, and then the LED turns red, then white and then green. The boot loading screen then appears. I can repeat this indefinitely. 

My version:
PinePhone UBports Edition
Ubuntu 16.04
UBports Image Part
20210610-24867
Device Image Part
20210613-8159

What have I done:
- Reset Launcher
- Erase & Reset All
- Updated the OS and all apps.
- "Reinstall all apps"
 
Details:
I'm not using a SIM card

I would be glad if any one has any clue on how to fix this

Oi Oi good people.

I made this:
   

Its a bit odd looking as I had to account for a nasty generic case I found on ebay:
https://ebay.us/h771oU (moto g6 play in black)

Also it uses a right angled usb c adapter for the convergence dock:

I'm still fighting with the convergence dock at the moment, the only way I can get it to display on a connected monitor is with the OS's in Megi's 17 distro image on a tfcard, or from an un-upgraded os fresh from download, so the right angled adapter might not be a great idea.

Anyway, if you wanted to make your own, here's the SVG's:

My plywood is 3.5mm so that's the length and widths of the tongues and tongue holes (there's probably a better name, but I don't know what it is)

I made a purchase of a pine phone on 5/25 but other than the receipt I haven't heard anything yet.
Where do I ask for help?

I followed the standard arch wiki way to set up a swapfile, and based on 'Install to disk' in the Alpine wiki, which shows setting up a swap partition the normal way, it should work. It does work if I manually turn the swap file on, but it isn't automatically on at boot. I don't know how PmOS works in that there were no other entries in my fstab, but I guess that has something to do with it. any ideas?

I didn't buy this laptop because I expected it to replace my chromebook or main laptop. I bought it to experiment with new technology, but I wanted to test to see if I could use it in that way, and here are my findings. I used it exclusively for 2-3 days.

Things I loved.

• For its price, the keyboard is very nice. Alot of travel. Plasticy feel isn't great but blows away other laptops in price range in my opinion. Keyboard is fairly clicky which I like but some may not.
  
• Love all the hardware switches to turn things off.
  
• Build Quality feels very good for price point. My other laptops are X1 Carbon & Apple M1 Macbook, so this is lower end at 10% the price, but it s5-6 itill feels good to use.
  
• Love the lack of branding on the top of the laptop.
  
• Some people complain about the trackpad but its perfectly usable. I like the precise click vs soft touch click of some laptops.
  
• I did not find the CPU/RAM limiting with my behavior of hanging out on discord, watching youtube videos, or checking gmail. I also SSHd into a server and did some development on it and was fine. These days, I do all my builds server side so my laptop is basically just an IDE/SSH session.
  
• Quiet & Cool Operation
  

• Battery life is realistically 3-4 hours. Feel like time travel back to the 90s. 5-6 hours really is table stakes. You need better battery life if you want to prove this chip is viable. Current battery life is not viable for a commercial product.
  
• Charging of Battery - by far the worst part of PBP.  I feel like I get one use session out of it per day and then I put it on the charger overnight. I haven't even timed the charging because it takes so long. With the laptop on, it stays at 0% forever. If I turn it off, it does charge, but very slowly. The entire time I wrote this it was hooked up and never left 0%m charge.
  
• The charging cable is very short, which is not fun as I basically am using the laptop as a desktop given the low battery life and slow recharge.
  

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.
  

• 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.
  

• 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
  

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.

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:

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
