hello,

on my quest to transfer files to and from the pinephone i came across a post on a manjaro-arm forum that basically said use the docking station and a usb stick.

after connecting the usb to the docking station, i could find no way to access the device in 'index' file manager. after checking dmesg and seeing that sure enough it was there and up and running on sda1, i accessed it the old-fashioned way, creating a usb folder in 'home' and the 'mount' command on the terminal. i was just wondering if i hadn't misssed something? my linux mint automatically mounts my usb at /media or something like that.

and i must say that the docking station usb connection is extremely loose, it actually disconnected a couple of times while i was mounting my usb.

thanks.

Hi,

I've been grinding away after 23 years away from Unix trying to 86 windows from my life.

So Far I've got Armbian/Ubuntu/Mate working overcoming various issues along the way.

This is a solid 6 days now and I'm stuck so if someone could point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it....

I'm using an iiyama E2783QSU on HDMI-1, and trying new modes using xrandr

After getting seriously bored manually going through the options I wrote a little script to help.....

Hi,

I recieved my PineBook Pro a week ago. I use Manjaro ARM with KDE (the image that came with the laptop)
I noticed very high battery drain on suspend with systemctl suspend (50% ~8 hours) and even when powered off with sudo shutdown (20% ~20hours).

I'm very worried. Do you think my unit is faulty ?
Thank you

My battery recently went to zero and the phone shutdown while I was using it.

Now when I reboot the phone, I only see a mouse cursor and the desktop login page.

I can't reboot to the "mobile view".

What should I do? I can connect to SSH.

I've been poking at my pinephone for the last few days - so far everything I use day-to-day works, but I can't find any guidance on getting WiFi calling up & running.

My network supports it, and I don't have to install an app or anything on my iPhone to have it working - so I'm not missing third-party software. I just can't find any UI settings for it on the pinephone / haven't found any terminal magic online yet.

Is there a command / etc. I need to use to sort out carrier settings on the pinephone, to get WiFi calling working ?

ODROID-GO is a - much worse in specs - linux gaming device like a Nintendo Switch, it started at 80$ and now in Europe costs 120 or more.

There is demand for this kind of devices.

A Pinephone gamer edition, with the same hardware, but with a case with game pad,   and some retroarch configuration in the OS, would be a bestseller.

And if it is when the Pinephone 2 will arrive (with WiFi6, 5G, and NFC, I expect) even more

What experiences have people here had with printing from Mobian (or any Pinephone
OS)?

I can print once only from Firefox-esr after a re-boot, then no printers show up
in Firefox or any other app. I have a RPi running a cups print server, which
at first allows any of 3 printers to be found, but after one print job, they are
not found.

I'd like to hear of any your ideas, or successes in printing.

Here's how we connect PineCone BL602 RISC-V Board to LoRaWAN... With the Pine64 RFM90 LoRa Module

PineCone BL602 Talks LoRaWAN

(Moved from the Axolotl on Pinephone / Mobian thread since I doubt this is really an axolotl issue.)

Axolotl installed on Mobian, which is farther than I've ever gotten before. But it will not let me add a contact, call or text another Signal number. Nor can I link to my desktop (following the instructions about scanning a QR code using zbar-tools and copying in the location of the screenshot, because I get no QR code on the desktop at all).

So I cannot get anything to work.

Anyone have any idea what I'm missing? Or doing wrong?

I purchased the Manjaro Pinephone without going into a USCellular store first and low and behold, it didn't work when I tried about 5 months ago.  Are there any plans to expand to USCellular's network.  It is a midwest company that isn't huge by any means.
