Hey All,

I was forced to use Duo Mobile to use with my work, and I wanted to share a couple of experiences to help anyone else that may have this issue too. First, DUO now supports WebAuthn, I had to ask my IT department to get it to work. This will allow you to use a Yubikey (or other U2F device) on Firefox (as normally it is Chrome only). I just ordered a USB-C Yubikey as well, so I am curious to see if I can get that working on the Pinephone.

I was also successful in getting a passcode working with Gnome Authenticator, thus not needing the DUO mobile app (for those who don't have to use DUO, the "official" way to get a passcode working is to use their app, which is an Andriod/iOS app only. It does not natively support using third party apps, and I suspect that is by design). There is a python script to get it working:

You can use just the python script only you so choose, but you can also export the secret to your favorite 2fa app (like Gnome-authenticator). Use the

I use the Parallax Propeller family of microcontrollers. The normal IDE is on Windows, but FlexProp can be compiled to run on Linux. It would be spamtacular if I had an IDE on a Pinebook Pro! I lack the time and knowledge to make this happen. I also always run into some permission issue with any programmable device that always kicks my butt.

Is this doable? If so, can someone please educate me on how to pull this off?
Thank you!

Does anyone have any idea about when I can expect the "buy right freakin' now" button to be returned to the PINE64 web site for the PinePhones?

Hi,

Evening here and I normally put my phone in airplane / aeroplane mode i.e. would look for a toggle to disable modem / mobile data / wifi / BT if any are on.

I could find no such thing on Manjaro Plasma Mobile 20210221.
I panicked when I went to settings and saw internet had a tick - even though the Mobile Data icon in the top bar settings is not on....does that toggle not work?

So surprise, no mobile modem off either. Or could the Mobile Data icon actually toggle mobile / mobile data on / off?

I have my mobile modem on with data off due to cost.

I did not find a quick way to turn data on / off via ofono command.
Neither a way to turn mobile modem on / off via ofono.

I did a brutal

Hi,

my pinephone mobian CE is installed on emmc with FDE. The Mobian Doku tells me in the chapter "Firewall", that the current technology would be nftables.

I installed all available updates, but when I check the installed packages, my Mobian is still based on iptables.

# apt policy nftables
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 0.9.8-3

# apt policy iptables
    Installed: 1.8.7-1

I received my pinephone two weeks ago and used the installer as it came with.
Do I have to flash a newer Image to start with nftables instead of iptables?

As iptables is not configured jet.
# echo -e "\nIPv4:" && iptables -nvL && echo -e "\nIPv6:" && ip6tables -nvL && echo " "
  IPv4:
    Chain INPUT  (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
    Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
    Chain OUTPUT  (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
  IPv6:
    Chain INPUT  (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
    Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
    Chain OUTPUT  (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)

I tried to replace it, but it seems to be impossible,-
# apt -s remove --purge  iptables
  The following packages will be REMOVED:
    iptables* mobian-base* mobian-phone-base* mobian-phosh-base* mobian-phosh-extras* mobian-phosh-phone*
  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 6 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
as that whould remove the phones GUI as well.

In the moment it looks to me that I could just disable and mask iptables and install and enable nftables.

Did I miss some documentation? Any ideas are appreciated.

Keep well and fit,

Coming from Mobian, I installed Manjaro Plasma Mobile 20210221 yesterday.

Amazingly, it seems the modem manages to wake up the phone from suspend when an incoming call comes in at the first ring.
From a VOIP SIP account, the phone lit up before I heard the first ring on the calling phone, then the incoming call accept / reject appeared on the locked screen. That is amazing!

Mobian rings after 11 seconds from the same line (screen lights up / sometimes blinking blue led then 11 s later it rings / shows call screen).

Regarding the rumblings about the 10" eink display, is the proposal currently to have a touch digitizer too?

I've got a boox note 3 and the great thing about it is that it runs a full android distribution. It feels strange using a computer with normal responsiveness but with an eink display., but it works.

So I suppose that's what made me wonder whether the plan is to have a digitizer for the display available? So that people could make their own "enhanced" ebook readers?

What do people think?

I'm looking to use CON15 to power the board instead of the 5.5x2.1 barrel jack. Does anybody know the part number that is on the board and what the correct mating part number is? The schematic has this labelled as "XH_2.5mm"  -- I think they are 2.54mm/0.1" but would like to know the exact part so I can purchase the right mate.

Is there a BOM I missed somewhere on the Wiki?

Since the PBP top and bottom are already so thin, I wonder if it would be possible for future Pinebooks to be designed with the main board in the top half in stead of the bottom.  I don't know if anyone else has ever done this (except tablets with attached keyboards).  It would make cooling far better.
