It has been a while since I have updated, so I figured I would do that. Unfortunately I was unable to.
After running:
$ sudo apk upgrade
I got
1 error; 1155 MiB in 575 packages

I would really like to avoid reflashing, as I have this installation configured the way I like it and it would be a pita to do it again. Any thoughts on what could be going wrong here?

I noticed this when it was about a year old, I see other people are getting cracks too.  I've had it open a few times, all the screws are back in it.  Dropped it a couple times but it just slid off my lap onto carpet.  Opening the lid causes the crack to open up.

with Manjaro Lomiri, Accounts like Nextcloud or Google are completely missing, also, there is nothing like a software repository accessible. Is it possible to add a software 'store'? Any way to add a Nextcloud account?
Or are these features just missing nor now?

I have set up my nextcloud account, but Manjaro Plasma Mobile allows only for contacts and for storage. Is there a option for calendars and to-do's too, or is this missing in Plasma, for now?

I wanted to find the latest Posmarket release....I found this 03-05 release 

I flashed it and I cannot use apt to update, I cannot change the pin, I cannot search the app store, does anyone know what I am missing?

We just got a Pine64 today and plugged it in.

During the boot and installation process, the power cord got unplugged. The phone was in the middle of extracting files and/or mounting partitions when this happened.

Now the phone starts the install but after entering a PIN, it fails almost immediately with this error:

Installation Failed
Configuration Error
No partitions are defined for mount to use.


Is the Pine64 bricked? If not, how can we reset it back to bare metal and do the install again?

Re:  PinePhone 64 mobian Community Edition ...

Overview illustration at https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/PinePhone is helpful ... but:   Do the cards get inserted "label up" or "contacts up" for the SIM (lower slot) and microSD (upper lot closest to back cover) ?   Illustration at above webpage could benefit from showing this.  Thanks!

I do get ringing sound for an incoming call and an audio notification for incoming SMS, however, I am unable to answer the calls nor access and read SMSs
 
Please help

Let's not forget how the OSI Model lost out to TCP/IP model, because market forces went gnu linux -- cheaper to pay a geek to configure the license-free software than to pay for proprietary licensing.  The market forces ruled the day.

Today, Risc-V has different licensing model than NVidia... how do we know which horse to back?  I read the thread where avid pine64 supporters make a few valid criticisms of risc-v:  just cause cpu is open, doesn't mean manufacturer will have all open components (but that's true of arm too), or that a downstream manufacturer can modify it, and then sell the modified version without open sourcing (well NVidia is already selling arm licenses, so this isn't any worse); or that it's riding the wave of open source popularity (That really isn't technical criticism at all, and sounds like something to say when you don't have any criticism).

Perhaps, in addition to being open, the Risc-V ISA may be better from assembly programmers' pov, if it is more elegantly organized and therefore simpler.
I see that pine64 has a risc-v soldering pinecil already using RiscV (but out-of-stock, of course--this "of course" is a bad rep to have in a market driven world.

I think that finding open hardware, installing linux, creating safe firewall, connecting to openvpn, etc,  is too complicated for the average family.  So I want to do it for them.  My end game is provisioning my local home school community with open-hardware devices running slackware ported to the architecture of said devices, connecting to openvpn, and running services that help the community collaborate safely, and which protect the students from inappropriate content.  And I'm getting older and don't want to wait.  The students are not adequately protected with what they are currently using, and they're getting older too quickly.  (I overheard a five year old talking to his mom's android phone:  "Is the tooth fairy real?"  -- that child needs safe results, or s/he's gonna grow up too fast)

Market forces do play  a factor, such that whichever open hardware  provider gets a product widely available (and not just for developers, and sneak previews) first will get the market share, from developers like me waiting to do stuff with it.  Pine64's "out of stock" thing is admirable from the point of view of keeping pinebook pros affordable--but if last year changed the law of supply and demand, I would prefer that pine64 outbid the competition on lots of 1080 pixel lcds, and keep production going, even if it meant raising the price.  That way, the community can survive.  I've heard lots of demands here for empathy for the developers and the non-profit nature of pine64 -- and I have it, and will be feeling for them if my dollar goes another way because that other way meets my end game first. 

But there's also a certain level of professionalism expected of any organization:  why have this contact page, if emails to sales@pine64.org won't receive responses (not even an auto-response)?  Lack of responses, even during shortages of lcds, will turn developers and prospective assets to the pine64 community away.  

Thus, let's not repeat OSI Model's quest for perfection, because, as they learned, the market doesn't wait.  I'm pretty sensitive.  I think pine64 needs a wakeup call , and this is it.

Hey all.

I'm interested in buying a second hand (used or not) PinePhone CE (ideally Mobian). Please get in contact with me if you have one available for sale. I can deal with some dead pixels or other minor hardware issues.

Cheers!
