  "Low Disk Space on Filesystem root" after installing Axolotl and Podcasts
Posted by: Anna - 02-24-2021, 04:27 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (11)

Hi,

please forgive me for making my entry to this forum with this very basic question (after owning the Pinephone (16 GB) for about two weeks and reading the threads here I have come to realise that I am probably way out of my depth).

My problem is as described above: After installing Axolotl and Gnome Podcasts, I get the following error message: "Low Disk Space on 'Filesystem root' The volume 'Filesystem root' has only 716,3 MB disk space remaining." That figure keeps changing and went down to a two digit number. At that point, Axolotl did not start anymore. I deleted everything I could (well, basically all my files) to come to the present 716 MB (Axolotl works again).

I tried to reproduce the problem on Megi's multi distro SD card. After upgrading Mobian, according to "Usage"/Storage", the "Operating System" took exactly 10 GB, "Home" 9 MB and the other directories 0 KB. After installing Gnome Podcasts, "Operating System" went down to 7,7 GB and Home up to 4,1 GB -- almost entirely due to a directory /.local/share/flatpak of a similar size. Uninstalling Podcasts did not change much about that.

On my main Mobian installation (not the SD card), "Operating System" now takes 7,6 GB, Home 5,8 GB and 1,5 GB are supposedly available (so considerably more than the 716 MB in the error message, according to "Usage"). In Home 4 GB are taken by /.local/share/flatpak, 908 MB by /go. Documents (146 KB), Downloads (63 KB) Pictures (42 MB) and other directories take relatively little space.

So my Pinephone has pretty much become unusable: I cannot save files for lack of space and even if I don't, the "Disk Space on Filesystem root" still tends to shrink for reasons I do not understand.


Any ideas what I can do?

Best,
Anna

The best Shark vacuum for pet hair - shark ion r75 review

Shark is one of the leading vacuum brands that provide customers with a broad range of well-crafted machines, and the shark ion robot™ 750 is no exception. It’s equipped with some latest technologies that set it apart and allow users to tackle all sorts of dirt and debris on multiple floor types. In this review, we’ll take you through its pros and cons, then evaluate its performance. So read on as we explore more!

1.Pros and cons

Pros

• Excellent sensor system

• Easy-to-use app

• Multi-surface brush roll

• Extended run time (90 minutes)

• Slim profile to clean under low furniture

Cons

• Struggle with large debris

• It does not offer many cleaning modes

2. Easy setup

The Best Shark For Pet Hair should be made for usability with a straightforward setup, and the rv750 Shark is not an exception. Simply plug it in, settle it in the charging dock, then download the app, connect the bot to the app and you’re all set.

To start vacuuming, you only need to press the giant clean button on the app’s home screen. Alternatively, you can also use the Schedule tab to set dates and times so that it can start automatically. The History tab lets you view cleaning time and the number of cleaning cycles once vacuuming is done.

3. Brush Roll and Side Brushes

A Shark vacuum for pet hair should possess robust suction control to pick up pet fur from all corners of the house. Thanks to dual side brushes, the R75 has an unsurpassed performance. They spin at a rapid pace to pull pet hair and other debris into the suction vent.

Thanks to detangling technology, this robot’s large brush roll can maintain itself, meaning it can loosen long hair strands on its own. With strong bristles, the machine can pick up dust, dirt, debris, and dander with little effort, making it the Best Shark Vacuum For Pet Hair.

3. Smart sensor system

A well-engineered sensor system is what sets robot vacuums apart. The R75 is outfitted with various sensors so that it can detect stairs and furniture.

The proximity sensors (or collision sensors) are located around the perimeter of the robot. It allows this machine to navigate landscapes, detect any objects, people, pets, and other obstacles in its path. Whenever this device detects any objects, it will slow down. The front caster wheel works effectively in helping the machine avoid hitting any objects that it senses.

The dirt detection sensors sit near the brush bar and detect how much dirt is in a particular area, then send signals to the robot to let it know when the place is clean.

4. Advanced filtration system

If I were asked, “Which shark vacuum is best for pets?” I would say it should be the one equipped with a HEPA filter. Aside from suction power, a pet-friendly vacuum should have well-made filters so that it can pick up even the tiniest allergy-causing particles in the air. The R75 is such a machine, as it can trap the smallest microns and prevent them from returning to the air of your space.

5. Run time

Powered by a lithium-ion battery, the robot provides you with consistent and unwavering suction strength, ensuring excellent performance on multiple floor types. After fully charged, it can last for about 90 minutes, depending on how intensive it has to work. The machine is also equipped with a battery-level indicator light that tells you how much battery is left.

Conclusion,

The Shark R75 - What Is The Best Shark Vacuum For Pet Hair is well-built with side brushes to tackle multiple cleaning tasks with ease. The machine’s self-cleaning brush roll sets you free from the annoyance of tangled hair, while its low height can thoroughly clean under furniture effortlessly. No corners of your house will be left untouched.


  Extra newlines in forum post
Posted by: TRS-80 - 02-23-2021, 08:38 PM - Forum: General - Replies (5)

I mentioned this briefly in another post where someone was discussing forum issues.

But it just happened again, so I thought I would make a separate post, about this issue specifically.  I hope this is the right place.  I am going to try and ping @fire219 as well, as it's my understanding that this sort of thing might be his bailiwick(?).

When I am composing a post, I like to press the Preview button some times as I am editing.  Then some times (not all the time) the forum ends up inserting extra newlines.  And even if I try and manually remove them, they still get inserted back in the final post.  Once this starts, it seems every additional Preview might be adding another newline in the affected area(s).

You can see an example of this here (this just happened).

I have not nailed down exactly what conditions seem to cause it; when I can reliably reproduce the issue I will make another report.  But I thought I would mention it, in case someone else might also be experiencing the same issue.

Until then, cheers.


  Suggestion: PinePower 120W - fix USB port orientation
Posted by: had - 02-23-2021, 07:17 PM - Forum: General - Replies (1)

The USB specification actually specifies how the USB-A ports should be oriented. But PinePower 120W does not follow this (at least now). So it would be really nice to fix it in the next revision of PCB and rotate the ports by 180 degrees ;-)


In early days of USB, manufacturers of devices were using both correct and incorrect orientations. So it was really difficult to plug in the cables for the first time. Fortunately, I have not seen a device with the wrong orientation in last few years. So I was able to look like a "real wizard" by always connecting USBs on the first try :-) Well at least until today, when I received PinePower 120W and my OCD kicked in.

I did not find any mention of this issue anywhere, so starting new thread... Sorry if this is already known thing.


  SD card mounted to access music files unable to play
Posted by: dcinoz - 02-23-2021, 06:54 PM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (3)

Hi,



I've searched the forum as best I could to see if there was a solution.



I have Mobian installed on SD card and Manjaro Plasma Mobile on eMMC.



I have this entry in fstab to automount the SD card:



/dev/mmcblk0p2 /media/mmcblk0p2  f2fs auto,user,rw 0 0



In Manjaro:

Symlink in ~/Music to /media/mmcblk0p2/home/mobian/Music/ogg



Code:
ls -al ~/Music:
drwxr-xr-x  3 kde users 4096 Feb 24 10:00 .
drwx------ 20 kde users 4096 Feb 24 10:21 ..
drwxr-xr-x  3 kde users 4096 Feb 24 10:00 a-ha
lrwxrwxrwx  1 kde users  38 Feb 21 17:35 ogg -> /media/mmcblk0p2/home/mobian/Music/ogg


Code:
ls -al ~/Music/ogg/:
drwxr-xr-x 164 kde users  8192 Jul 31  2020  .
drwxr-xr-x  3 kde mobian 3488 Feb 22 07:43  ..
drwxr-xr-x  3 kde users  3488 Feb 23  2020  a-ha


Code:
ls -al ~/Music/ogg/a-ha:
drwxr-xr-x  3 kde users 3488 Feb 24 10:58  .
drwxr-xr-x 164 kde users 8192 Jul 31  2020  ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 kde users 3488 Feb 24 10:00 'Headlines And Deadlines The Hits Of a-ha'


Code:
ls -al ~/Music/ogg/a-ha/Headlines\ And\ Deadlines\ The\ Hits\ Of\ a-ha/:
drwxr-xr-x 2 kde users    3488 Feb 24 10:00  .
drwxr-xr-x 3 kde users    3488 Feb 24 10:58  ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 kde users 5360878 Feb 24 10:00  a-ha_01-Take_On_Me.ogg


Originally file and folder ownership was mobian:mobian, changing to kde:users hasn't helped, vvave fails to even display the ogg folder.



I created a mobian group with gid 1000:

Code:
cat /etc/group:
mobian:x:1000:kde,mobian
users:x:985:kde,mobian


and a user mobian just in case when I had mobian:mobian ownership:

Code:
cat /etc/passwd:
mobian:x:1000:1000::/home/mobian:/bin/bash
kde:x:1000:985::/home/kde:/bin/bash
Both kde and mobian users have uid 1000 but kde has gid 985, mobian 1000.


Any idea what I am doing wrong? What user / group is vvave using to try and access my ogg symlink?



The pinephone 16GB eMMC is not large enough for my music files, but the a-ha folder I copied to ~/Music/ is accessible by vvave.



I tried adding uid=1000 in fstab but that doesn't work.



Thanks for your help.


  [PRODUCT IDEA] PineCalc
Posted by: Computer semi-expert - 02-23-2021, 06:00 PM - Forum: General - No Replies

(Yes, I saw @tllim's post here but I thought I might as well post this anyway.)

I use a scientific calculator (Texas Instruments TI-30X IIS, to be exact) for schoolwork, and I like it, mostly. However, it is missing various capabilities which I would appreciate (e.g. it's missing some functions relating to processing data sets). This naturally gets me aggravated at my calculator for not providing such things, and furthermore makes me wish that TI provided a way to reprogram their calculators. (Ah, the value of open source software!)

This further led me to think: Hmm, a reprogrammable, open-source calculator... this sounds like it could be a Pine64 project! Therefore, I am throwing this idea out there in case anybody thinks it's a good idea.

As for specs:

- Given Pine64's recent interest in RISC-V, perhaps the calculator could have a low-power RISC-V CPU.
- This calculator should definitely be equipped with a solar panel to recharge the battery. I would get annoyed at a calculator that I had to recharge every night.
- A simple LCD panel would suffice for the display--it might not even need a backlight.
- RAM: not much would be needed; even a few kilobytes might suffice for a custom ROM, although Linux fans (like myself) would probably prefer the RAM to be in the megabytes to support Linux.
- Storage: again, not much; just enough for a ROM (or the Linux kernel) and a few bytes or so for storing user variables in memory.

Again, this is just my wild idea; if it's not a good idea, tell me.


  Verizon With Manjaro Plasma?
Posted by: U.P.Penguin - 02-23-2021, 11:20 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (2)

Ordered one of the 'leftover' KDE CE Pinephones and am planning on using it with my current Verizon service when it arrives. Anyone have good experience with the Manjaro/KDE combo with Verizon? I had read that the Mobian / Phosh combo has worked well, so that is a definite option but am kind of a fan of the Plasma desktop and the mobile version looks very nicely polished!


  Firejail: Sandbox Pinephone/Pinetab Apps
Posted by: RTP - 02-23-2021, 12:12 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (3)

I noticed interest in security and did a video on getting started with Firejail. While I demo it on the Pinetab (for viewability), I did the video with Pinephone users in mind.

Some users might think Firejail is unrealistically complicated-- the walkthrough will show you it's not.

You don't have to make a custom profile for each app (but you can customize later): Firejail has loads of ready profiles.

I go over what Firejail/Sandboxing is, how to use it, and use Firefox as an example. Towards the end we edit the Firefox button/icon on Phosh to make it run in Firejail sandbox by default. I also cover whitelisting so you do not lock yourself out of files while on Firefox.

Check it out here: https://youtu.be/7Q57Nj6Az3U

[Future videos will use another camera app- sorry about a couple moments of autofocus blurs!]


  Plasma Mobile - no data connection
Posted by: KNERD - 02-22-2021, 11:55 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (9)

Just grabbed: Release 202102230241

I see it has gotten a connection to the cell provider by itself, but I am not getting a data connection.

Then looking at the settings, there is absolutely nothing in there at all do for manual settings.

What's going on with that?


  Pinephone inexpensive carriers and free carriers
Posted by: linux_n - 02-22-2021, 11:31 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (8)

Hi is sister mobile or tello mobile compatible with pinephone? Also TextNow is now free without WiFi over the Nationwide Sprint Network would that be compatible with pinephone. I put my IMEI number on this 3 websites and it said is compatible but want to check with you guys first. Sister mobile is $5 per month and tello mobile is also $5 per month. Textnow is free unlimited talk ad unlimited text you only have to pay for the sim one time $9.99 activation kit. I am looking for a inexpensive phone service or free service for pinephone because i don't use alot of minutes or text on phone so low minutes would be ok. Let me know if any of these 3 phones services would be compatible with pinephone if not which do you guys recommend?
