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.

I have two Rock64 boards:

• One is Version 2 (4GB).
  
• One is Version 3 (4GB).
  

• The first one appears to be related to an Intel PRO/1000 NIC.
  
• The second one appears to be a Realtek RTL8211 NIC.
  

1. When setting the MAC address: It should begin with 00:06:dc (i.e., The OUI of Syabas Technology [Amquest]). [ Reference ]
   
2. The accepted solution is to specify the MAC address manually in /etc/uEnv.txt using the macaddr= and/or the eth_addr= settings. I may be wrong - But I believe that these settings are now located in /boot/armbianEnv.txt. [ Reference ]
   

1. Have I overlooked something besides the solution proposed on the Wiki page? i.e., WNpctool.exe
   
2. Is there a solution for folks that don't have MS Windows in their environment? e.g., Linux "purists"
   

Hello,

Fairly new to the whole PinePhone experience (got my first phone about a week ago), but so far been really enjoying messing around with the phone. I have been customizing Mobian (Phosh) and currently have it on eMMC of a 2GB / 16GB Manjaro Pinephone. I went ahead and ordered another phone (3GB / 32GB Mobian version) and I was wondering what would be the easiest way to transfer this setup (if possible) of what I have currently over to the new phone, once it is shipped and delivered?

Make an image? using dd? Transfer over to SDCard? Another way? 


Thanks for any help!

I just received my PinePhone, but can't make calls and texts don't work.

I know I need to enable VoLTE because my provider is T-Mobile in the US, but following the instructions I found here has not worked.

Specifically, when first booting, the phone recognizes my SIM and finds an access point, but after performing the commands listed, those settings go blank.

How can I proceed from here?  


Additionally, the phone goes to sleep and locks the screen after far too short a period of time. How can I change or disable this? There is nothing under settings.

Greetings,

I'm running Mobian on a v1.1 Pinephone. Unfortunately, every time I enable the hardware switch for the 3G modem it becomes a small convection oven and it goes very hot indeed. I've noticed the same issue happen on my phone with Ubports and Postmarket OS, so the blame doesn't rest with any particular distro.

This is a source of concern. I'm worried that this will wear down my hardware due to the excessive heat.

So, has anyone else noticed the same happen with their modems? Is it a known issue and is a fix planned? I'm hoping it is a driver or power saving problem, and thus solvable through software. If anyone needs more details from my phone, or details of my mobile network to see if it is particular to a certain UK mobile provider, I'll be willing to share.

Regards, R.T.G.

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
