Hello,

I attempted to install OpenBSD 6.9 on the PineBookPro. I essentially followed those steps https://github.com/ndhwyd/roc-rk3399-pc_openbsd and changed rk3399-roc-pc.dtb with rk3399-pinebook-pro.dtb. 

When starting the machine, the booting process halts with the following message:

Hi,

Before I pull on them and maybe break it;
Are you supposed to be able to remove & put back the keycaps of the Pinebook pro?

If so; just pull on them?

Hi Folks!

Setup an A64 LTS board with Armbian focal and trying to get the Pine DAC POT running.  Any insight into the method to make this work? 
Is it via dt-overlay like in raspian ... or something else?  I am assuming this is possible since the Volumio image claims to work ...

Thanks!

I just reflashed Manjara plasma mobile and then did pacman -Syu
Now I can ssh into the phone but I can't get an unlock screen to appear.
If I reboot the phone sometimes the unlock screen briefly flashes on just before the KDE start logo think.

What should I do?

I'm new to Pinephone and just having an initial play.
I started with the default KDE Manjaro but after an experimental connection to a TV with the docker it seems to have messed it up.
I saw a few posts that said Mobian was the most stable.
I tried it yesterday and quite like it, but it seems more laggy than KDE Manjaro.
Is that something to do with GPU aceleration?
Looking at the "PinePhone Software Releases" wiki doesn't seem to say which OSes have GPU acceleration and which don't.
I notice that Manjaro actually has three versions, Phosh, Plasma Mobile and Lomiri.  Is the GPU acceleration present in all three?

thanks, DNJ

Hi I am a Pine64 noob with a dev  question:
The Pinetab has all the gpio pins you could want, right?

The Pinephone however only has pogo pins.
How hard is it to apply successfull gpio pin experiments on the Pinetab to the Phone  Mainboard?

I have a farm with Wifi in various spots. It is the same ESSID everywhere but there are areas with no coverage. There is no cellular coverage.

The following is repeatable behavior.

I often listen to podcasts via bluetooth using the 'podcasts' app and playing from files loaded locally on the phone.

If I am listening to a program as I drive and I transition from the Wifi coverage area to a non coverage area the blue tooth stutters (it cuts in and out). It seems like the Wifi losing its connection interferes with the ongoing bluetooth audio.

The audio is not stalling but is lost.

Eventually the bluetooth audio recovers and when I enter an area with Wifi a similar stuttering occurs.

The behavior is very repeatable and happens every time I make the drive while listening to a podcast.

Since the behavior is repeatable is there something I might look to to help identify what is going wrong?

Hello,

I am writing with a question regarding recording audio on the Pinebook Pro with Jack. I'm currently trying to record electric guitar tracks on Ardour and using the Guitarix application which uses Jack audio. My setup is an electric guitar with a usb/guitar line hybrid cable plugging directly into the usb port on the Pinebook Pro. The sound of a clean guitar is fine but when I use a distortion plugin on Guitarix there is a lot of noise and cracking sounds coming out from the speakers. It's not just a slight noise, it's actually an unbearable high pitch noise which makes the guitar sound disappear. I have tried changing the settings on Jack such as Sample Rate, Frames/Period and Periods/Buffer, but nothing seems to help. I am wondering if this problem is due to Jack and its configuration or the Pinebook Pro hardware is not suitable for recording audio.

I appreciate  any input from someone who has tried this or has any idea of what could be the issue here.

Hello,

I juste got the PinePhone but the battery does not seem to be charging past 54%.

I saw on the wiki that some OS' limit the maximum charging percentage in order to improve the longevity of the battery. Because I'm having this issue on different OS' it got me thinking that it is a hardware problem, but it might not be.

Is it a known issue ? What can I do about it ?

Many thanks !

I'm interested in buying a Pinetab for use with an open-source split columnar keyboard (to be assembled with my Pinecil), so I'm ambivalent about the Pinetab keyboard. Charging cable is obviously vital though. Shipping to Poland. Thanks in advance.
