Hi all,

I've just installed Mobian Phosh on my Pinephone flashing it on my SD card. I find it incredibly useful, fast and easy to use, but waiting for improves to come.

I find a problem now when I try to update the Operative system or when I try to install any other software. I can't do it because, as it notifies me, executing dpkg was interrupted, and I have to execute it manually "dpkg --configure -a" to fix the problem.

The other problem I have, is that I can't find terminal to try to fix that, and I can't install it because of the same issue.

Thanks a lot for helping me,

Gon.

Hello,

I have an up to date manjaro-arm plasma-mobile system and even pre the latest update when I open the terminal all goes well for a while inputting characters to bash then i will suddenly see my input in the 'auto-complete'(?) top part of the virtual keyboard? Pressing enter will still run the commands sometimes but soon no characters are input anywhere, bash, or the auto-complete section. Closing the terminal from the gui and starting it again solves the problem temporarily until the cycle repeats. Also is there any way to run the terminal in landscape mode and increase the font size? Thanks.

Hi folks!

Has anyone who uses mobian tried to connect to a wifi access point with WPA3 (SAE) enabled? My PineTab cannot connect, although "WPA3 personal" is set in the network manager. "WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode" works fine...

If I have a PP connected to a weakly charged laptop, it would be useful to turn off the charging of PP batteries while maintaining data transfer. How to do it?

Hi all

I'm running Fedora on my PBP and a few things I like are not packaged for ARM64 so I have started doing it myself.

I do not like Fedora's default font settings, so I use the `dawid/better_fonts` Copr. I also like to use Hack as my terminal font and neomutt for my mail. None of the were packaged for arm64, so here are some coprs that do:

• https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/...ter_fonts/
  
• https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/...ack-fonts/
  
• https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/...x/neomutt/
  

Hi there, just curious if anyone has installed dwm suckless on their pinebook pro? I use it on archlinux but i'm not sure if it will work with ARM.
Any input its appreciated in advanced.

I've recently received my new PBP. Before setting up a new system, I tend to benchmark things to see what it can do and spot out any issues. I thought it might be interesting to other readers to know my results, and I am sharing them here.

I'm using a PBP with a Kingston A2000 SSD. I was able to install it without issues and it is recognized on /dev/nvme0n1. I set the power level to 3 (sudo nvme set-feature /dev/nvme0 -f 2 -v 3) I created a gpt partition and formatted it as ext4. 

In order to benchmark it, I disabled swap (sudo swapoff /dev/zram0) and then used dd to write/read a 8GB file (2x physical memory size) multiple times on the nvme partition.

My results are an average write of 395MB/s and an average read of 590MB/s. I'm very happy with this result as it is a very low power setting and about 10x faster than I could achieve on a microSD card with a samsung chromebook plus.

Hello, I am quite interested in the Pine 64+ with the Gigabit ethernet.
For my project, I don't really need an OS, I'd be happy with a fast $20 Arduino with Gigabit ethernet,
but there is no such thing.  I also need fast bootup, so don't really want an OS layer.

It looks like what I need to do is build a kernel and boot it from the flash drive,
and have it run my application.  I need really fast access to the GPIO pins for some gigabit speed communication to devices.

Any help here appreciated, or if you can suggest other $20  gigabit speed hardware.

Thanks!
Jack

I am running Manjaro with Xfce. I try to update at least every two weeks. A few weeks ago I noticed I started getting quiet a bit of double letter errors when typing. The letter I notice this happening with the most is n but other letters will double up as well. I don't think it is from me pausing while typing. Has anyone else seen anything like this? Originally I thought it may have been something with one of the updates but I am wondering if it may be keyboard related.

New episode of PineTalk is out!
