I installed Mobian got green light and keyboard. Appears like it needs password to get in but the password I created won't work. Please help. Old dumb Nam Vet Atty.Doug

Hi,
I received my community edition this morning and got it all set up but during updating I couldn't login back in to check the progress, type the pass code then it resets and expects it again. I have had this with mobian on my braveheart so did what I have done before and pressed the power button to turn it all off and turned it back on. I have the message 'OH no! Something as gone wring, A problem as occurred and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again@ which I have done a number of times.

So, have I killed it in double quick time or can I re install the image on the emmc? Or is there some way to recover it?

Thanks

Ashley

I missed getting a replacement board for my BH edition phone. Is there going to be any more in stock?

What was the deal with the cheap price? Were you making a loss at that price or not?

If not, can you extend that price to any BH owner that needs a replacement board?

I recently bought All In Ones for my sister - with MS WOS - because "it was easier and fancier" 

But for laptops Chromebooks are her "easier" option - because it was a Christmas gift to their children - in their home.

28" was the bigger screen I found.

And as 32" are more productive than 28" and 60Hz IPS panels are relatively cheap (VA even more) ...

... I think that offering 32" All In One (with and without TV) ARM computers, with GNU/Linux preinstalled can be a great typewriting machine that also provides what every SOHO (Small Office and Home) would need, and even act as a TV. 

And that having that 32" format, will boost Pine boards sells.

Last but not least, adding KDE TV versions to  32" TVs, can open a market for high diagonal TVs powered by pine boards and Linux, better if, with time, you can easily replace the board with new ones as times goes by and, in this case some new codecs as AV1 now are added to the hardware, also WiFi 6e, BT 5 etc.

I recently bought a 4GB ROCKPro64 (including power supply) and am unable to make it boot. I have a serial adapter (running at 1500000bps) connected and have tried the following:

• FreeBSD-13.0-ALPHA2-arm64-aarch64-ROCKPRO64-20210122-02611ef8ee9-256201.img.xz on a SD card.  This displays `U-Boot TPL 2020.10 (Jan 22 2021 - 04:33:21)`
  
• Armbian_20.11.10_Rockpro64_focal_current_5.9.14.img.xz on both SD card and eMMC.  This displays `U-Boot TPL 2020.10-armbian (Jan 05 2021 - 04:11:42)`
  
• buster-minimal-rockpro64-0.9.14-1159-arm64.img.xz on SD card.  This displays `DDR Version 1.19 20190305` then `In`
  

Wondering if anyone else is having issues?

I've had ofonoctl indicate registered and yet getting an Unable to make calls in Dialier and a telepathy error in Spacebar.
I've had the modem go unpowered for no apparent reason (problem with resume from suspend?).
I've had the modem not turn on at boot.

I also still have some calls wake up the screen but nothing else, no notification with cancel / reply or ringing.
Changing audio out from earphone to speaker seems to lead to no ringing problems?

Is this due to eg25-manager / ofono 'conflicts' or simply the ongoing resume / suspend problem? Or is it the modem?

Curious as when I switched to Plasma Mobile I was excited the phone rang immediately when in suspend on a incoming call and same with incoming sms / text messages, but now it seems to have gone wrong.

Perhaps a recent eg25-manager update? Not sure ofono was updated recently.
Guess it is still work in progress.

Also, does anyone know if unstable updates are available via mirrors? I switched to unstable but it didn't get anything new.

I'm running Manjaro on my Pinebooks Pro.
With the ISO model I can type the Euro symbol with Alt Gr + 4.

With the ANSI model I tried to set the keyboard to US, Euro on 5.
But unfortunately it doesn't work for me.
I set the Compose key to Right Alt.

Anyone able to type the Euro symbol with the ANSI keyboard?

When Jump Drive is running on the phone, plugging it into my Manjaro Plasma laptop via USB mounts the phone as a storage device. On the laptop, I can see the phone's eMMC and the SD card. But, when Manjaro Plasma mobile is flashed to the phone's eMMC and up and running, plugging it in doesn't mount anything. Nothing is logged on the laptop when the USB is plugged in and removed. I'm using the same red USB cable that came with the phone in both cases, Jump Drive and running system. What is different?

How do I get the phone to mount as a storage device on my laptop?

I'm running Manjaro Plasma mobile beta2.

Thanks!

I haven't found a distro yet that will automatically mount an SD card in the phone. I'm running Manjaro Plasma beta2 right now. Why doesn't the SD card automount when booting the phone? I've made sure that the SD card isn't bootable, so it doesn't interfere with booting the phone. The SD works fine when it contains an OS image or the jump drive.

How do I go about manually mounting the card? I want to use it for file storage, music, etc.

Thanks for your help!

I've been trying to figure out how much I can use the docking bar which came with the Mobian CE Convergence edition. It worked under Mobian (I think) and pmOS (pretty sure - I'm spinning through distros to find what works). Doesn't work under Manjaro Plasma beta2.

I'm trying it out on my Manjaro Plasma laptop. syslog shows the components being recognized in it. Mostly works, but there's some oddities, like when I plug in the HDMI the ethernet shuts down. Is that something intentional in Manjaro Plasma? For example, I see when a second display is connected, Notification automatically switches to the do-not-disturb setting. Maybe it's shutting off the ethernet for some similar assumption about how it's being used?

It doesn't work very well at all on Windows 10 (same laptop - dual boot). Does it need a driver?

Is this docking bar a known device that has been labeled by Pine64? Does someone have the model of it so that I can search for drivers?

I also have a little GPD Pocket 1 mini-laptop. Docking bar doesn't work under Windows 10. I booted Manjaro Plasma on it and the docking bar doesn't work there.

In all cases, I power the docking bar with the power supply suitable to that computer.

Thanks for your insights.
