  Open Media Vault - Help needed
Posted by: janeku - 03-30-2021, 06:42 AM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - Replies (3)

Hi.
I know there is some info about open media vault and using Pine64+ as a NAS device on this forum, but looks like OMV is no longer supported.
Would somebody help me and explain me how and where to download image for OMV to run on my Pine64+ board ?
Or just tu put a link to iso image (OMV github is active but I can't find any Pine64 iso's) where I can download it.
Also new experiences concerning Pie64+ and it use as a NAS storage device would be appreciated.
Regards,


  Contacts not Importing
Posted by: mdshell - 03-29-2021, 11:11 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (1)

I am using the latest KDE Plasma PinePhone. 
The phone Contacts does not import from my Google account. Selecting the import feature
presents the file manager and a list of folders under the Home folder. I Tried importing a .csv file
but Manjaro would not process it. Somewhat confused as to how to get my contacts into the phone 
Address Book. A very basic function for any phone. Interesting that the contacts/address book works
not problems in Manjaro Plasma. Anyone have any help or suggestions?


  Unable to mount the INTERNAL SD Card
Posted by: dgdimick - 03-29-2021, 10:46 PM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (3)

I've tried with a few SD Cards now, both 512 Gig formatted exfat, and tge cards are not showing up on boot, "dmesg" and "lsblk" are not showing them as well.

I'm running Phosh, is it an issue with Phosh?

I'm able to mount the SD Card via an OTG cable, as well as a Windows computer

Thanks


  Manjaro Plasmamobile not booting after update [Solved?]
Posted by: quixote - 03-29-2021, 10:36 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (9)

I put the beta2 of plasmamobile on a card and have been booting off that. It did a fairly large update a few days ago, which worked without a problem. Today's update, though, gets me nowhere except a K-gear icon and a black screen.

The cursor is there and responds as normal to touch, but nothing else. It doesn't even drop to command line.

Anyone else having this issue? And have any fixes?  Before I reinstall from a new image.


  Sxmo on Arch
Posted by: IVp - 03-29-2021, 05:48 PM - Forum: Sxmo on PinePhone - Replies (4)

i would like to run Sxmo under Arch. I seem to have some minor issues when using https://git.sr.ht/~mil/sxmo-build to instal sxmo on top of the barebones Arch from https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pi...h/releases   The first issue is that Pacman can not find ttf-nerd-fonts-mono, but I assume ttf-fira-mono will do just fine.  So that's the least of my worries. 
The second issue is where I'm sadly stuck at the moment. it appears that I have to install xinit additionally, by hand and set up xinitrc. I'm not quite sure how to do the latter. If someone knows how to set up the Arch installation to boot into the dwm window manager, I would be grateful. I hope that this thread turns in to a short guide on how to get Arch+sxmo running (I could not find such a guide on this forum).


  xming?
Posted by: dieselnutjob - 03-29-2021, 12:40 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (3)

I just ordered a pinephone.

I am wondering, once some of us have to start having to physically go to meetings, could I simultaneously use my pinephone as a wifi hotspot to connect my employers Windows laptop to the Internet, and simultaneously export applications from the pinephone to xming on said laptop?

If so then that would be epic

My employee laptop is rather locked down, but apps that they do allow me to have on it are putty and xming.

If I could do that then I could have my own email and personal web browsing apps exported as individual windows on the Windows laptop all mixed up with the work applications and no one would notice.

For the situations when I am at the company office and therefore on the corporate LAN I am thinking of writing a program that tunnels X11 over serial.  I was thinking of connecting a Pi to the laptop with a back to back FTDI null modem (I have one).  I would need a program that opens a listening deamon pretending to be an X server on the PI and a program that pretends to be a number of X clients on the laptop which would connect with xming, with the two programs connected by serial.  Maybe this could work on the Pinephone as well but I need to write this program.


  online accounts in UBports
Posted by: Uturn - 03-29-2021, 09:25 AM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - Replies (2)

are there any fixes, or workarounds known, to implement CalDAV / CardDAV accounts to UBports Ubuntu touch? I found syncthing in the software store, but I wouldn't know how to sync my nextcloud. Nextcloud by owncube, or Ghostcloud rely on system setting's online accounts, so they will not connect. Vdirsyncer seems an option but I am not sure on how to install, as it's not available in the store.


  Advice on increasing WIFI range
Posted by: stozi - 03-29-2021, 05:09 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (2)

Hi, I'm using my PBP to work remotely. I'd like to visit cafes in rather poorly developed countries and not have to worry too much about the wifi signal. 

I'm wondering if I can get a Mini U.FL PCI to RP-SMA cable, maybe bore a hole in the case to attach some kind of heavy-duty Wifi antenna directly to the existing wifi antenna ports. Would that help or would it be pointless as it wouldn't raise the voltage to the antenna? 

Would it then make more sense to get a long-range USB Wifi adapter?

could I even splice the RP-SMA cable into the existing antenna and use it, with the extra bulk of an external antenna, only when necessary?

Thanks!

  USB3 SATA
Posted by: ReleaseTheGeese - 03-28-2021, 02:17 PM - Forum: Rock64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (2)

Greetings,

I have a plan to use my Rock64 to host an OwnCloud/NextCloud instance.

In order to accomplish this, I would need to beef up the storage. I happen to have a spare SATA drive that is a SSD.

Would the Rock be able to power the SSD a USB3 to SATA cable or would I need an explicit power supply for it? Has anyone similar experiences or knowledge to share?

Regards,
R.T.G.
