Question Changeing boot animation on Manjaro
Posted by: Anarethos - 12-31-2020, 12:51 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (2)

Hi everyone!

I would like to change the boot animation on Manjaro.

I installed "bootsplash-viewer" and "bootsplash-packer".

I used a script found on GitHub to create a new bootsplash animation.

I manually copied the created file to "/usr/lib/firmware/bootsplash-themes/custom/bootsplash" and I edited my "extlinux.conf" file to point there but it doesn't work.

Is there anything I forgot to do?

The animation works when using "bootsplah-viewer" to see it.

Thanks!


  Pinecil - Tip Disconnected
Posted by: molzy - 12-30-2020, 10:38 PM - Forum: General - Replies (2)

Hi all!

I just received my Pinecil today, and was keen to try it out. However, the tip does not heat up, and before calibration the display showed a very high temperature readout (420+ degrees C) while the iron remained at room temperature.

Enabling "Advanced Options" => "Detailed Idle Screen" reveals that the tip is not detected by the Pinecil. The message "TIP DISCONNECTED" persists, regardless of which tip I insert, and the status of the locking screw.

I have not tried to use the grounding connection as yet, and my power sources tested so far have all been USB-C PD.

This issue persists upon updating to the latest release of the firmware, using the provided firmware flashing documentation.

I believe this may be a hardware issue or user error, hence my post here. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue with their Pinecil?


  Pinebook Pro for Sale in US

  pacman
Posted by: hiimtye - 12-30-2020, 04:58 PM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - Replies (5)

so I installed command-not-found from the repos, and one of my functions in my default .bashrc calls pacman, so command-not-found suggested I install it from the repos.

I searched Google for any sort of documentation related to Alpine Linux and pacman, but Alpine Linux's documentation is basically non-existent. I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with pacman on Alpine.

is it configured for Alpine's packages? is it just a placeholder for a chroot Arch install, or a fast path to installing Arch within an Alpine install?

I absolutely detest the apk system, and I love pacman. if Alpine were capable of using pacman instead for a regular install I would certainly try that out, but my worry after looking at the APKBUILD is that there's no hint of configuring sources for Alpine.

any input would be appreciated


  Ubuntu server 20.04 request
Posted by: phi0x - 12-30-2020, 04:11 PM - Forum: Ubuntu - Replies (2)

Looking to install Ubuntu server 20.04 on my 2gb pine64 boards. 

Anyone have some tips on how to get it going?... would really love to use it with these boards. Currently using centos 7 but it has some issues and I in general just like Ubuntu better than centos as I'm more familiar with Ubuntu's workings.

I've attempted to build my own a few times but never had good success..

any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

  PW reset not working
Posted by: motezart - 12-30-2020, 10:38 AM - Forum: General - Replies (6)

I am logged in on a machine that I will soon lose access to. I've tried resetting my PW a few times over the last month or two and the reset link does not arrive (not spam either). It's a yahoo mail account so I'm not sure if that is the reason, but the yahoo account works with other reset processes like Amazon, etc.

I also cannot change the PW internally, or the email, w/o knowing the PW. I've double checked the email on the account and this is 100% the one I am trying to use to reset with. 

Is there anything I can do? Once I lose this particular logged in session I will no longer have access to this account and I'd like to keep it.


  kernel crash on wifi initialization
Posted by: javier.pb - 12-30-2020, 08:01 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - No Replies

I've been playing with the pinetab, in an attempt to get the u-boot startup shown in the screen, and in the way I've apparently broken the wifi/bt in kernel. The heading lines of the two cores are below. Out of those pieces, the system can be used with any extra problems.

What I've been doing basically was around u-boot, the pinetab specific device tree(s) and megous kernels (plus p-boot), and although all of them are potential causes, at this point my believing is that I might have done something on the wroing mmcblkX device, based on a comment on ubports boot.scr ("wifi takes /dev/mmcblk1").
Any ideas (or even trial solutions)

I've seen this on ubports on eMMC and mobian on SD (both previously working). Tried also to use content of linux-firmware from megous with no success (same than ones on ubports eMMC). At some point, I've been able to boot ubports with megous 5.10 kernel with same result.

  UBPorts Not Working
Posted by: Pinoideae - 12-30-2020, 03:31 AM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - Replies (7)

I flashed the image to an SD card (https://ci.ubports.com/job/rootfs/job/rootfs-pinephone/), but when I load the card into the phone it won't start up. I used balenaEtcher-1.5.113-x64 to flash to the card.

PostMarketOS works.

Any thoughts?


  Pinebook Pro screen failure?
Posted by: BBreeziN - 12-30-2020, 12:58 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (1)

I have been using my Pinebook Pro that I received earlier this summer up until this past weekend.

Starting yesterday, when the screen turns on after powering up, I see a gray vertical section on the right side of the screen and a the rest of the screen is just vertical lines in somewhat of the color screen of the Manjaro login screen. I have attached a picture.

Does this look like a hardware failure of some type? Or potentially a loose connection? I am looking for suggestions on what to try next. Thanks!
