hai  i am Jip ,  not very handy with computers, but do not want to support the big companys that make the rules.  I feel a little lost here with my computer and do not know who to ask for help.  i try to install teams from microsoft for my kids school lessons...   but i fail somehow.  i installed  snapd and restarted after that i tried the command
sudo snap install teams-insider  
on terminal   but  it will not accept the command....
earlier it accepted the command, but i could not type my password.
what do i do wrong?

I'm trying to resurrect my Pinebook and could use a hand. I've got a black screen and cursor (I skip the login?) so I think something is wrong with Plasma.

I'm starting the fix by trying to run updates (I'm on some 18.* release of Ubuntu under the hood) but I'm getting:

`E: The repository 'http://pinebook.kde.org.uk bionic Release' no longer has a Release file.`

It looks like the files I need to point to are here: https://files.kde.org/neon/images/pinebo...eredition/

But when I try to edit my sources.list all I see are the two main Ubuntu ports (bionic and bionic-updates).

Does anyone know where I can find and edit the `http://pinebook.kde.org.uk bionic Release` entry?

Does anybody have an advice about activating the wifi network discovery on fresh manjaro installation (or when running from SD card)?
When I got the PBP the wifi worked on manjaro but soon after started to show no networks and failure in activating the wifi network interface. I reinstalled manjaro and separately ran from SD card and it's all the same. I also made sure the wifi hardware switch is not activated. When running fedora on an SD card the network discovery works fine.

What can I do to resolve this?

Thanks

This morning, I woke up to a text from Cricket saying:

Quote:This device is not eligible for activation on the Cricket network. Cricket's High-Definition Voice network requires use of a compatible device...

While I was on the phone with Verizon tech support, I was throwing AT commands at the modem just for kicks. Through dumb luck, I managed to get calling, texting and data working. This took me from calls never going through and occasionally crashing the dialer to them being as smooth as I could hope for on experimental software. The only difference between a base pmOS phosh install and mine is that I have nano and minicom installed. Here are my steps:

List VoLTE configs:
# echo 'AT+QMBNCFG="list"' | atinout - /dev/EG25.AT -

Select proper config, in my case Verizon:
# echo 'AT+QMBNCFG="select","hVoLTE-Verizon"' | atinout - /dev/EG25.AT -

Restart modem:
# echo 'AT+QCFG="ims",1' | atinout - /dev/EG25.AT -

Restart phone.
After that, everything worked

Hi folks.

why my hdd usb3 don't boot? i tried with a pendrive on usb3 slot and works well. The size of HDD could bring problems to boot? It has 4T.

During a compile job today the Power LED on my Pinebook Pro running ManjaroARM, Kernel 5.10.7 was starting to flash in red-green sequence and I noticed the OS got stuck.

Have had to do a hard reset (power off / on) to get it up and running again.

Already checked the wiki, but didn't find a hint what a flashing red/green Power LED means, so maybe someone can give me an advise please?

Note: I run the OS from an internal Intel SSD and just started experimenting with the newer kernel in ManjaroARM yesterday with different results. I switched back to the linux-pinebookpro kernel on ManjaroARM (5.7.9) after the system came up again, and the compile job was running without any hiccups... so might be a kernel issue eventually...

Hello Pine64-Admins,

starting 2021 I have problems trying to access threads in the forum. Either an empty page is displayed or I get an "502 Bad Gateway - nginx/1.14.2" error. Only a few threads work fine.

examples:
https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=12864 => 502 Bad Gateway
https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=9683 => empty page
https://forum.pine64.org/announcements.php?aid=25 => works fine


When reloading these pages including cache reset their status does not change.

I can reproduce the error with Firefox 84 and 85 on Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit v20H2 with the latest patches while Microsoft Edge works just fine.
In Firefox the problem only occurs when accessing the forum as a guest. After I logged in the problem is gone.

This might be a problem with your nginx configuration or a bug in Firefox or some problem with the forum software and the cookies it uses.

Hope this helps

Michael

If you plug in the Pinephone while in deep sleep it doesn't recognize that it's plugged in and continues discharging.

I keep forgetting this, leave the phone charging for hours and come back to a still almost dead battery.

I've reenabled RTC wake in my xinitrc to see if it'll help, but I don't like leaving it enabled as it causes unnecessary battery drain.

Hi, I've been Pinephoning since November and things got a bit wonky recently. I kept getting annoying on-screen phone shell alerts, and noticed that connectivity seemed to be dropping out when the phone went to sleep, and I was also concerned that I may have missed calls.

More recently I discovered that the phone could no longer retrieve and install updates, which left me wondering how to overwrite the internally stored OS from scratch.

So I went to Manjaro and downloaded the ARM Beta 5 Phosh version, flashed a microSD and booted my Pinephone from that.

I had hoped that it would present me with an option to install the OS to the internal storage, but keep my phone contacts in the process. It didn't, and I can't find a prompt anywhere to achieve that.

Could someone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks in advance.
