Not much of a tutorial, but...
If you're running Debian (or something Debian-based like Ubuntu) running 32-bit Windows applications is pretty easy, though performance obviously is not the best. There is no need for chroot, no complications. Simply... - add i386 as a foreign arch (and update APT repositories afterwards):
Code: dpkg --add-architecture i386
- install the following packages:
Code: wine wine32:i386 qemu-user qemu-user-binfmt
Now, I haven't been able to get Windows binaries execute by installing wine-binfmt the way I've been able to do that on amd64, but simply doing
works well enough for me, allowing to run some not too resource-hungry applications that don't have suitable Linux replacements like Calculators 3000

| Issue: nf modules not found in kernel? |

I've been trying to get UFW started on Arch arm, but been having issues ufw initiating:
Result from sudo ufw enable
Code: ERROR: problem running ufw-init
modprobe: FATAL: Module nf_conntrack_ftp not found in directory /lib/modules/5.10.19-1-danctnix
modprobe: FATAL: Module nf_nat_ftp not found in directory /lib/modules/5.10.19-1-danctnix
modprobe: FATAL: Module nf_conntrack_netbios_ns not found in directory /lib/modules/5.10.19-1-danctnix
iptables-restore v1.8.7 (legacy): Couldn't load match 'limit':No such file or directory
Result from uname -r
Result from pacman -Q linux
Code: linux-pine64 5.10.19-1
I ls'd into the module directory and did no see anything related to nf modules.
Things I've tried:
Rebooted many times, power cycled, sudo reboot, etc
Re-installed ufw, iptables, etc
Iptables disabled from systemd
I'm starting to guess that this is not enabled in the kernel? ie. modules aren't configured in the kernel to be enabled?
Any thoughts?

Can anyone point me to a page to learn more about reporting bugs to the Mobian group? I found their blog but it has very little info on it and so far have found nothing about reporting issues to them.
thanks,

Hello,
I received my Mobian PinePhone today!
I powered it on, received the Mobian icon, entered a 5-digit PIN, and selected 'disable' for disk encryption.
I then received:
"Installation Failed
Configuration Error
No partitions are define
for
mount
to use.
I have not installed a microSD yet; is that the problem?

Hello. Some time ago I bought 2 pinebooks.
Pinebook #1 was sometimes used, different distros were tried and regularly updated. Now Manjaro Arm Sway Profile occupies his EMMC drive.
Pinebook #2 was (with few exceptions) shelved. If used, then only for browsing and not updated. His EMMC drive has still the original stock KDE neon image.
I decided to update pinebook #2 to Manjaro OS. On pinebook #1 I prepared SD card with my current favorite pinebook distro and tested ii right there on #1 if it is working. Yes, #1 booted from SD. Then I inserted the SD card to #2. It couldn't boot. Black screen. So I tried different distros, even the original one. No boot. I've also tried to flash the SD card on #2 with no effect, still no boot. Then I tried to mount the SD card, to see if files are alright and found out, that the card couldn't be mounted (card is recognized, partitions are visible in file manager, but can't be mounted cause of unrecognized file system).I even can't fomat the SD card on #2 with gparted (write error).
My experiment showed me, that if I write an image on #1 (using dd), then the SD card can be booted & read on #1, but not on #2. If I do the same procedure on #2, the SD card is not bootable nor usable on both pinebooks.
Does anybody have an idea what went wrong? Is there any other way to flash an image to EMMC without booting from SD? How can I 100% figure out if it is a HW, SW, SDcard or user related problem?
Thank you for your answers & suggestions.
Fun story: Meanwhile I've tried to run packages upgrade on #2. Something went wrong and now some packages are missing, DE is half broken (no panels or start menu) and I have to connect to wifi via CL

Ran into something odd, and wonder if I am the only one. Or, perhaps, if there is an easy fix.
I have the Pinebook Pro ANSI, Manjaro 21.02 XFCE running the Pinebook Pro kernel 5.7.19-1.
(BTW: I thought the Debian it came with was great, but I like Manjaro even better on this platform. The job on both hardware and software is just impressive!!! )
Since about three updates ago my NetworkManager has been unreliable on boot. By that I mean there is about a 66% chance it will work just fine, but a 34% chance it will not start on boot. All it takes to fix that is open a terminal and run "sudo NetworkManager start" and it comes up and everything is great. The next startup might be fine, or I might have to kick it up manually again.
Any ideas?

I'm finding that beta6 is working well. Really, it's pretty amazing to me. I have Firefox, Thunderbird, connection to my Nextcloud server for Contacts, syncing files over Nextcloud, music, podcasts. Just about all the apps I use on my Manjaro laptop are working on my phone. Pretty amazing.
Google Fi is working for voice, text and data.
The convergence docking bar is working for ethernet, USB, HDMI.
I'm very impressed. I've wanted an alternative to the big private phone hardware companies for a long time. I've played with several alternatives on my old Nexus 4 phone. This PinePhone is very cool. It's really giving me everything I've wanted.
I look forward to a growing community of options for Linux phones, tablets and other hardware.
Congratulations!!!
