Following up from another thread, here are some "benchmark" results for building world on FreeBSD.

Note that I disabled powerd and manually set the CPU frequencies to 1800mhz and 1416mhz. OS is installed on a 32GB emmc.

I used -j4 in every case. Note that when I compiled RC2 I disabled all debug options in the kernel.

I built a couple of things:

1. Update from RC2 to RC3 with the option -DNO_CLEAN as an example of a typical upgrade time between minor versions.
   
2. Clean build of RC3 to give a benchmark for building the whole system
   

The PineBook Pro seems to have a bit of power compared to the PineTab.  I'm wondering how hard it is to "upgrade" the PineTab to something more like the PineBook Pro, but in tablet format.  Or maybe just modify the PineBook Pro to be a tablet.

Or maybe Pine64 would be interested in selling a more powerful device?  With all the Chromebooks out there, it seems like touchscreen or slate-based Chromebooks are quite common, so it seems like a more powerful device with a touchscreen that can be used in vertical format would be an interesting next step. Any thoughts?

During an update (Plymouth) I chose the package maintainers config and now I get a hideous debian splash screen   .
Can anyone point me in the right direction to restoring the mobian boot splash?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I have Pinebook Pro and  I just succesfully flashed bionic-mate-pinebookpro-0.9.14-1159-armhf on emmc. But when I update system with the Software Updater and restart the PC, after restart it will stop on booting screen and this screen flashes and nothing happens, the system will not load. The system will not load even if I restart it a second time.

Before, I thought it was this error message on picture 1.png, but regardless of whether I chose keep or replace every time it turned out the same.

I made the flash with the same system on flashed sd card, I flashed with balena etcher program and I flashed the system successfully. The same problem occurred when I installed the updates of this system on the sd card, until i did it all worked fine.

Thank you in advance for any answers.

PS: Sorry for my english.

Update!: I tried to flashed older version Ubuntu mate - bionic-mate-pinebookpro-0.8.3-1141-armhf.img.xz stable. But when I do it, the system cannot start and from SD card (0.8.3 version too) either.

When I turn on charged notebook, there are no flashing lights and I don't see anything, but in while I hear ubuntu login screen sound. And nothing else happened and that's all. I feel warm procesor too.

I don't know what to do.

Thanks for any help.

Hi

I'm curious if there's a way to control the CPU frequency like you can with the applet on Debian in Manjaro

Is anyone else excited for the release of this machine? Personally, I've been waiting quite a while for someone to make a good low cost Linux laptop that can compete with the likes of Chromebooks or ARM based laptops that run Windows, and I think the PineBook Pro from PINE64 will be just the right competitor, and if it turns out to be good, I will buy one to replace my old laptop.

Hi, I was wondering whether the limit of 1 (PinePhone Beta) is only per-order for shipping/logistics reasons, or whether you are asking people to only buy 1 total.  (i.e., Can I make multiple orders?)

As a side note, anyone know if the $25 shipping is worth the extra from the $15 shipping?

Here's a newbie asking for help.

My PineTime is on v. 0.9.0. I wanted to do an update again and downloaded 0.14.1.
I'm using nRFConnect since for some reason I still can't get Gadgetbridge get to work (maybe my Android 8.1 is too old?).

After (successfully) connecting and bonding I select DFU Update and choose the ZIP from my filesystem. Then it says "initializing" and then... nothing...

As far as I can remember I did exactly the same thing when I upgraded from 0.7.x to 0.9.0.

I have no clue, what I'm doing wrong. Do you have any hints?

Thanks!

So - what is the best option to have up-to-date (MUC, MAM etc) jabber&xmpp chat in Plasma mobile?

• Manjaro Phosh has Chatty. It supports message archive managment (MAM), message carbons etc and is good for private conversations. Drawbacks - no multi user chat (MUC) and it pulls in quite much Gnome packages as dependencies. As in Phosh it is used also as a SMS client, it could interfere with Plasma Spacebar app.
  
• SailfishOS also integrates SMS app with xmpp one using telepathy-gabble. There is telepathy-gabble-plus update (http://devel.kondorgulasch.de/telepathy-gabble/) which extends it with MAM etc. Maybe a similar method could be possible to add xmpp to the Spacebar app? However - still no MUC
  
• Gajim. Probably the best jabber client for Linux (with Dino). Sort of usable in Plasma mobile if the window sizes and other options are optimized in conf file. Roster and personal chats are scaled ok and keyboard integrates quite ok also. Needs double-tap to open chats in roster. MUC windows are not scaled correctly and keyboard hides the input field.
  
• Dino. Probably the best jabber client for Linux (with Gajim). However, the current Dino for Manjaro&Plasma is the desktop one and although it starts and runs, it does not scale correctly and I was unable to input text as the keyboard did not pop up. However - there is a project to use libhandy for Dino to adapt it to mobile screens (https://github.com/dino/dino/issues/178) and the result is already promising (https://fosstodon.org/@linmob/105583488991640393). Any chance to get this branch into Manjaro&Plasma?
  

Hi, I've applied all recent updates but my Pine Phone KDE Plasma (community edition) keeps automatically going auto-brightness to completely dim. 
Is anybody else having this problem and what is the solution?  
Settings Slider keeps scooting to the left and the phone screen goes completely dark. 
thanks 
Don
