  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?


  inhibit suspend mode
Posted by: Rainer - 06-12-2021, 08:41 AM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (2)

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.


  Unable to play videos ("bitstream error")
Posted by: pietenpol - 06-11-2021, 08:04 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (1)

I recently flashed Mobian to my emmc and running it as my daily driver for about a week now.

Love it but I am unable to play video files I download (mp4) - I receive "An Error Occured - Driver did not accept the bitstream paramters".

I've upgraded and updated to the latest release, even ran apt-get on gstreamer plugins but they say they are already at the latest version. Any thoughts?


  open on-screen keyboard at will
Posted by: yogo1212 - 06-11-2021, 03:21 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (2)

hi :-)

applications like gvncviewer dont offer visible options to open the on-screen keyboard.
is there a way to open it?
maybe through the bar at the bottom?

kind regards


  Plasma Mobile goes back to lockscreen when the phone isn't charging
Posted by: plaristote - 06-11-2021, 11:53 AM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (4)

Greetings !

I have the KDE edition pinephone, and after an update, I've seen that when it wasn't plugged, it wouldn't stay unlocked more than a few seconds. Nothing special seems to be happening, just the session getting locked again. I kept making updates, but nothing's changed (well, lots changed, but not this specific issue).
I checked out what happened with journalctl, when unlocking the phone while unplugged:

Code:

Nothing really stands out to me... I see something related with kscreenlocker, but I don't know what happens there.

Would anyone know where I should look next ?
