| Amazfish on Manjaro/KDE |

Just spent 2 hours trying to install Amazfish on Manjaro. This is not a trivial thing. The amount of dependencies needed to get it to compile from a fresh image of the distro on the phone is enough to make you give up. pacman is in no way intuitive at all compared to yum/dnf or apt making it harder to figure out what magic switches you need to pass to it to make it update or install dependencies.
I got it to finally install and it runs, but still haven't been able to figure out how to pair a Pinetime with it successfully. I can pair the watch to the phone, but Amazfish still doesn't see it. I'm tired of wrestling with this for now, and will try it later.
This won't get any adoption if compiling from source and troubleshooting our own errors during compilation is how to get apps installed. It needs to be packaged in a way that it can easily be downloaded and installed (like a deb or rpm package) or contained completely in an runable format (like an appimage, flatpak, or snap).

| Strange SD Card Problems |

Hi,
I have Problems with SD card flashing that I cannot explain. Basically I have run Raspis for years, am comfortable with command line (Developer), have written lots of images to SD cards and mostly things worked as expected. Up to my pinephone. Basically I download images and write them to a 16GB card with dd like such:
Code: /mnt/cloud/images# dd bs=128K if=Manjaro-ARM-phosh-pinephone-beta5.img of=/dev/sdd conv=fsync status=progress
On this one 16GiB card that I have lying around I can successfully do this with Manjaro Posh/KDE Images, Mobian and Arch for Arm. All work as expected. Now I have a bunch of 32GiB cards I'd like to use. But writing to those cards with the same dd command will result in boot failure. The LED on the pinephone turns red and that is iit. I have tried zeroing out the cards before write, bought new ones. None of the 32GiB cards work. I tried using different SD card readers etc. Nothing works. Except the trusty old 16Gib Sandisk Card. The 32Gib Cards are SanDisk and Transcend cards. If I flash for example Manjaro KDE, I get sensible values (to me) when checking the card with sfdisk like:
Code: sfdisk -uS -d /dev/sdf
label: dos
label-id: 0x198aa440
device: /dev/sdf
unit: sectors
/dev/sdf1 : start= 62500, size= 437501, type=c
/dev/sdf2 : start= 500001, size= 9617119, type=83
The start sector of looks to be a bit far into the card, but it is the same as in the image:
Code: fdisk -l Manjaro-ARM-plasma-mobile-pinephone-beta2.img
Disk Manjaro-ARM-plasma-mobile-pinephone-beta2.img: 4.8 GiB, 5174722560 bytes, 10106880 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0xdc868f53
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
Manjaro-ARM-plasma-mobile-pinephone-beta2.img1 62500 500000 437501 213.6M c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
Manjaro-ARM-plasma-mobile-pinephone-beta2.img2 500001 10106879 9606879 4.6G 83 Linux
Any help or pointer would be really appreciated as to what could be the reason for this. Next stop is getting a UART Adapter so I can see what the bootloader is doing I guess.
Best Regards,
anhilde

Wake up from charging problem |

Hello,
I am running latest Mobian on PinePhone Mobian edition.
In the evening (cca 22:00) I put phone with battery level at around 10-20% on 5V/2A charger. In the morning (cca 6:00) the phone is charged but not responding. Screen is black and device does not react to power button or display tap (the screen does not even light-up, just stays off).
To get the phone up and running I have to perform hard reset (PWR button press for 8s to turn off and then 2s to turn on again).
My guess is Mobian enters something like "deep sleep" mode, not sure if caused by system or Phosh.
I have auto sleep set only for battery and turned off for charger.
According to my observation this happens only when battery hits 100%. I tried to wake up phone during charging several times and last wake up was at about 96% battery charge and then few minutes later the phone did not wake up.
Do you have any idea what could cause the issue?
Can I prevent this? I did not try offline charging yet.
Thanks

Pinebook Pro dead after dd |

I booted my Pinebook Pro with a microSD card running Mankato and used it to download an image to flash to my EMMC, after doing so I shut it down and noticed the charging LED would turn off after about a 30 seconds I tried turning it on and was met with nothing, no power led on the top of the keyboard and no light from the barrel connector. I opened the back and hit the reset button but to no avail, I unplugged the battery, removed and disabled EMMC, tried using usb c to charge but still nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Edit: Got it to boot from microSD however I’m greeted with “give root password for maintenance or press control D to skip, pressing control D reads cannot read /dev/tty1 and it hangs. Any advice?

| PinePhone Cross Compiler Install |

I'm trying to install a GCC cross compiler so I can write so really bad code for when my PhinePhone gets here; a 5th grader is probably a better coder then I am.
Anyway, I'm using these instructions, and it work just fine untill I try to install glibc
https://preshing.com/20141119/how-to-bui...-compiler/
Code: make -j4 csu/subdir_lib
returns this
make[2]: *** [/home/dgdimick/PinePhone/CrossCompiler/build-glibc/sysd-rules:9: / home/dgdimick/PinePhone/CrossCompiler/build-glibc/csu/libc-start.o] Error 1

Any ideas? Or am I just doing this wrong, like there's already as package to install?
I'm running on an old laptop that has Ubuntu installed.
