  After update black screen and unable to boot anything
Posted by: vmataixf - 05-31-2021, 03:54 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (1)

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


  How do you copy and paste into mobian terminal? Do you ssh instead?
Posted by: temp0rary - 05-31-2021, 11:17 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (6)

I'm learning some linux.. But how do you copy and paste into the mobian terminal? Commands you read on the phone.. Or do most on here ssh into the phone and fix stuff from the computer instead of typing in long commands on the screen? Thanks


  Always-On VPN issues at boot. Need to manually activate it.. What did i miss..
Posted by: temp0rary - 05-31-2021, 10:35 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - No Replies

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

Code:
nmcli
. 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
Code:
password-flags
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:
Code:
secondaries={UUID};
(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.

  22 July 2116 -- wrong Date & Time
Posted by: Anna - 05-31-2021, 09:09 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (7)

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.


  "short codes" no longer work on the spacebar texting app?
Posted by: mudflap - 05-31-2021, 08:26 AM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - No Replies

Hi folks - 
Using the texting app "Spacebar" on my beta phone, I used to be able to check my bank account balance by sending a text to a "short code" sms number* provided by my bank, but it longer works - I'm seeing posts that I need to include a country code ("+1") to have my modem work correctly for phone calls, but don't see how that would be possible. I tried it just for fun, but it didn't work. 

Is this a new bug?

  PinePower desktop micro power breaks
Posted by: jpalus - 05-31-2021, 04:22 AM - Forum: General - Replies (4)

I've been observing this fenomen for a while but now I'm sure it's down to PinePower desktop -- each port sporadically looses power for a very brief moment (like half a second or so, not noticeable for human being, but enough for a plugged device to "notice"). While for charging phones (or any other battery powered device) this might not be a big deal, it does however dramatically lowers usefulness of PinePower:
* cannot plug my Raspberry Pi since it will power off completely every now and then
* cannot plug active USB hub with HDD attached as it may result in data loss
* powering Pinebook Pro through Pine's docking deck is very inconvenient -- docking deck starts to pull power from battery when power is unplugged and does not go back when power goes back so one might not even notice when this happens leading to complete battery discharge. Docking deck needs to be replugged to Pinebook Pro so it starts pulling power from socket again.

Did anyone else encounter such behavior?


  PinePhone Blender / STL model?
Posted by: blihp - 05-30-2021, 09:42 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - No Replies

I was curious if anyone has produced a Blender / OBJ / STL / other model of the PinePhone suitable for rendering?  So far I'm not finding much luck beyond finding a couple of rendered images of the PinePhone but nothing which points me to a model I can use for my own renders.


  Switching your PineTime between InfiniTime and Wasp-os
Posted by: Peetz0r - 05-30-2021, 06:55 PM - Forum: PineTime Tutorials - Replies (1)

Hey all! Many people want to try both Infinitime and Wasp-os. They hear about the reloader, but then find out that the reloader-factory.zip in Wasp-os 0.4 is broken, and building your own usually fails. There is some information about that, but not everyone can find it. That's the goal of this forum post.

The short version: don't use reloader-factory.zip, use the zip from here instead.

This does not contain full InfiniTime, only the recovery. This arrangement is necessary due to the size, but also allows you to flash any future release of InfiniTime without having to find a new reloader zip. After flashing this reloader zip and letting the reloader finish, hold the button until the pinecone turns red to reboot into recovery, then flash the latest InfiniTime.

The long version with step-by-step instructions and pictures for switching in both directions is on the wiki: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Switching_y...nd_Wasp-os
