  Building a Microcluster
Posted by: kileel - 01-31-2021, 12:51 PM - Forum: RockPro64 Projects, Ideas and Tutorials - No Replies

I just put together a microcluster with some RockPro64s and a clusterboard. I wrote it up here, in case anyone's interested: https://mattbernhard.medium.com/building...2b176e2f76


  Info about getting a stable experience
Posted by: antoyo - 01-31-2021, 11:19 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - No Replies

Hi.
I wonder if there's a page in the wiki or somewhere that specifies anything I could try to make the phone more stable.
For instance, is upgrading the modem firmware something I should do regularly to have a more stable experience?
Maybe there's some software tuning that would make it more stable as well.

If there's no wiki page describing this process, where can I find this info?
Thanks.


  RP64 TV box case with wifi
Posted by: Wizzard - 01-31-2021, 05:00 AM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (2)

I am planning to get some RP64 case to use as some TV box, but I prefer wifi over LAN connection. Is there any case that supports internal wifi adapter? I wanted this, but not sure how it will handle the wifi adapter.

  Help with restoring SPI
Posted by: Mangled - 01-30-2021, 09:46 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - Replies (5)

Hi,
I messed up my spi and found solutions on bypassing the spi but it doesn't seem to work. I flashed the pinebook pro spi image by accident. On the rockpro64 wiki, it states you could jump pins 23-25. It doesn't appear to do anything. The white light does not appear. I currently am trying to boot from emmc which should be default boot unless that has changed...
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks


  Chromium doesn't seem to recognize that I'm on a mobile device
Posted by: 3x5co - 01-30-2021, 09:18 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (2)

Until recently, Chromium was unusable on Mobian. I'm happy to say that it has quickly pulled into the lead for most usable Mobian browser. However, it often serves up the full, desktop version of siteswith a big, horizontal scroll bar.

Some sites display in the correct, responsive layout. But Google, for instance, runs off the page. Any idea why this is, and how to force it render sites properly?


  Make King's Cross (and apps in general) fullscreen
Posted by: 3x5co - 01-30-2021, 09:13 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (5)

The statusbar and titlebars of King's Cross are taking up a lot of real estate. I would say this is true of a lot of these gnome apps. Is there a way to force full screen?


  mobile linux distros on raspberry pi?
Posted by: mandavel - 01-30-2021, 08:46 PM - Forum: General - Replies (4)

Hello boys and....... boys.

Curious to know if mobile linux distros (mobian, ubports, sailfish, etc) can be flashed to a pi 4. I could easily test this out for myself, but I don't have time to for a month or two, and have been very curious about it.

I don't see why not, considering it's all single board ARM architecture, but if it works, it could be an easy way for people to check out the distros before buying a pinephone. That being said, I guess calls/texts/etc couldn't work in a pi since there is no capable modem built in. But it's a cool thought.

Anyone tried or know whether not not this will work?


  Remote connection from Linux Mobile to unrooted Android? (surely very useful?!)
Posted by: 4w7gvrvsjcyvd - 01-30-2021, 06:48 PM - Forum: PinePhone Software - No Replies

It should be possible with scrcpy but I'm having trouble:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions...175689456/

Is there another way to remotely connect into another phone? 

I would have thought this would be very useful and important, with lots of interest? It allows us to fix that lack of app problem. Connecting into the smaller screen is a lot simpler.


  Forgot my Pinebook password. Booting from MIcroSD doesn't work.
Posted by: ksfoodforest - 01-30-2021, 11:08 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

I forgot my Pinebook password (which essentially turns my Pinebok Pro into a brick).
Flashed Manjaro 20.1 to a rel 10 MicroSD using the steps found on https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/NOOB
Insert the  MicroSD into the slot on the Pinebook but it doesn't lock in and it feels loose (?). It can go in further but then it pops back out. (?)
Of course, it doesn't boot from the Micro SD.

What am I doing wrong?
Why is the MicroSD not fitting into the USB?

Thanks.
Scott


  USB dock - ethernet access
Posted by: Regula - 01-30-2021, 08:12 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (2)

Hey there,
got my Pinephone with KDE today and I managed to get a lot of stuff working so far reading through the forum. Now I have come across some issues with the dock. I don't need to set it up for desktop use but I wanna use the ethernet port because I don't have WLAN access in my flat.

Out of the box it did not work at all. The phone did not show up in my router and I got no access to the internet. After I updated the packages I get it to connect to the wired LAN and it even shows up in my router but the connection is dropped a few seconds later. Is there any known solution to this ? I am not even sure if it is the phone because I also happened to get a new router just yesterday and it had some issues with my desktop Manjaro OS.
I also read about connecting the dock to a power source or not. Is there something I am missing with the dock ?

Cheers
