  LuneOs Questions
Posted by: luney - 06-06-2021, 02:29 PM - Forum: Lune OS on PinePhone - Replies (3)

Hello, 

I have a few questions that I hope that the community might be able to answer. 

I have had difficulty finding info on LuneOS. The webos-ports wiki is useful, but I was wondering if there is a community outside Pinephone forums where I can find more information or ask questions? Does anyone know an alternative? The github for the Luneos Pinephone build seems to have outdated info. For example, it states that wifi doesn't work, but wifi works on my Pinephone, so that is not up to date. 

My other question is regarding preware2. It doesn't work on my pinephone. I am assuming that it doesn't function yet. Can anyone verify that it doesn't work and isn't just my build that isn't functioning?

Also, the system reports in terminal that the linux version is LuneOs. Does anyone know which flavor of linux is running the pinephone version? Most versions are android based, but the pinephone build is linux? 

I get that this is niche OS and there probably isn't many folks working on it, but I I think the base UI works really well on the Pinephone. I am hoping that I can edit and fix from the phone itself instead of an external build.


Question How to Save Read Only Files, Questions on Location
Posted by: lovepine88 - 06-06-2021, 02:08 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (8)

I am trying to edit the geoclue.conf file, but it says it's read only. I don't know how to change that.  Huh  I am using Thunar. I got into su mode in king's cross, but not sure that helped.

Also, I have the modem disabled. Will pinephone still be able to know my location via gsm chips built into the hardware even if I edit geoclue?

In other words, if the modem is off and there's no SIM chip, am I still connected to a satalite anyway?


Lightbulb Python3 - GPIO - controlling LED's etc
Posted by: bonce - 06-06-2021, 09:27 AM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (1)

Massive apologies if I've poked this thread in the wrong place, or it's been answered a thousand times already, I searched in the forum for suitable things, but couldn't find anything.

So, probably a quick question, I want to play with the status LED through Python3. Is there a pre-existing GPIO library that works against the Pinephones GPIO implementation?

I know it's at least theoretically possible as on xnux's site there's a LED page (PinePhone LEDs (xnux.eu)) and having a play around and looking at the uboot-script.cmd for Postmarket, that's fiddling with GPIO on boot (just not in Python-land).

I do see there are a few posts around the Rockchip on the Pine64 boards for pythonic GPIO control, but I wasn't sure if the Pinephone and the Pine64's had vastly different GPIO implementations.


  Development environment live-iso for cross compilation, etc?
Posted by: Daniel972 - 06-06-2021, 08:25 AM - Forum: Linux on PINE A64-LTS / SOPINE - Replies (3)

I've looked all over the web for a x86_64 developer / cross compiler live iso.

Preferably without  GUI. Anybody? Any hints?


  How to install software
Posted by: AndyM - 06-06-2021, 07:53 AM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - Replies (8)

I think that perhaps I need to add some more repositories in order to install some more software. For example:

lingot
pysolfc

for lingot I simply get

$ sudo apk add lingot
[sudo] password for user:
fetch http://mirror.postmarketos.org/postmarke...DEX.tar.gz
fetch http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3....DEX.tar.gz
fetch http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3....DEX.tar.gz
ERROR: unable to select packages:
  lingot (no such package):
    required by: world[lingot]

If I try:
$ sudo apk search -v -d pysol
I get
py3-pysol-cards-0.10.1-r0 - Deal PySol FC Cards

$ sudo apk add (any one of:
for pysol, pysolfc, py3-pysol) I get the same result

I have not used alpine before, so I am learning ... slowly Smile

Thanks

Andrew


  closing apps rather than leaving them running (phosh)
Posted by: lordearl - 06-06-2021, 07:28 AM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - Replies (7)

Has anyone managed to actually close apps rather than leaving them running on phosh?

Ie. if you open an app (say "settings") then the only option is to minimise it and have it sitting in the home screen, which then moves all the other app icons to a lower position in the home screen

I understand that it is useful to be able to have a few applications open for ease of multi-tasking, but is there a way to force stop an app so it does not sit on the home screen after it has been opened?


  Flickering black window when opening settings

  How to get instant email notifications
Posted by: stozi - 06-06-2021, 04:16 AM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - Replies (12)

Hi, for work, I really need immediate, clear notification of any email I get. I got geary working, but it didn't really offer this, and I didn't see a way to get it to do so in the settings. Any tips? Thanks!

  Three Quick Questions...
Posted by: Magnus - 06-05-2021, 07:57 PM - Forum: Sxmo on PinePhone - Replies (4)

Hello techlords,

I've been running SXMO on pmOS as my daily driver for 3+ weeks. I am a noob and non-programmer. So, bear with me. I would like to accomplish 3 goals:

  1. How can I autoload SD card at boot (the OS runs from emmc)? From there, I plan to use midnight commander (mc) to play some tunes.
  2. How do I copy received text messages? Sometimes, I receive a HTML link and would like to cut&copy it.
  3. How can you add programs to the app menu (Thunar adds but MC does not, etc..)?

Thank you.
