  Speakers not detected
Posted by: PineHead7 - 12-11-2020, 06:23 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (1)

I just received my laptop, and manjaro-ARM did not detect speakers. No device present...
Anyone has any idea how to deal with it?


  Managing cpu voltage and clock speeds question.
Posted by: FeMike - 12-11-2020, 04:40 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (5)

I used to be a tinkerer of my Android phones for long time and being an arm device I thought this would be similar. In Android I used an app called Tasker and would create a task with shell commands to change my gov and clock speeds, I guess this would be like cron jobs or similar for the Linux community out there. When I search  how to do this in Manjaro, a lot of other forums suggest to use the Manjaro Setting Manager. Though there isn't a kernel setting within this manager which makes me think it's handled differently on a non arm Manjaro dist. I tried searching the pine forums but with no success. How does one change the voltage and clock speeds of the cpus in Manjaro arm for our pb pros?


  SD card / Sim slot dilemma
Posted by: zez - 12-11-2020, 04:09 AM - Forum: General - Replies (3)

Hi everybody.
I have a problem with my pinephone manjaro ce. Recently I decided to flash the internal emmc through the sd card (jumpstart option).
I was surprised to find out that the phone doesn't recognize the sd card (checked via lsblk command), but a phone sim is detected correctly.
Has my phone a hardware fault ? Do I have to config some software option alternatively ? I'm stuck....

Thank you in advance

P.S.
Sorry for my awful english

Information Bluetooth DIsconnect Problems?
Posted by: RTP - 12-10-2020, 04:53 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (3)

From time to time my previously well paired bluetooth headphones refuse to keep a connection to my Pinephone.

No matter how many times I rebooted/upgrade, systemctl restart bluetooth, off/on bluetooth back and forth connect attempts repeatedly w/intermittently stopping of bluetooth on the phone. Still, no bluetooth connection sticking (with previously setup and working well bluetooth headphones).

When I viewed systemctl status bluetooth in terminal, I found this (MAC OUI left as is):

Code:
Dec 10 17:03:03 mobian bluetoothd[485]: sap-server: Operation not permitted (1)
Dec 10 17:03:07 mobian bluetoothd[485]: Endpoint registered: sender=:1.30 path=/MediaEndpoint/A2DPSink/sbc
Dec 10 17:03:07 mobian bluetoothd[485]: Endpoint registered: sender=:1.30 path=/MediaEndpoint/A2DPSource/sbc

Dec 10 17:22:52 mobian bluetoothd[485]: profiles/audio/avdtp.c:avdtp_connect_cb() connect to FC:58:FA:X:X:X: Permission denied (13)
Dec 10 17:22:56 mobian bluetoothd[485]: profiles/audio/avdtp.c:avdtp_connect_cb() connect to FC:58:FA:X:X:X: Software caused connection abort (103)
Dec 10 17:23:06 mobian bluetoothd[485]: src/profile.c:ext_connect() Headset Voice gateway failed connect to FC:58:FA:X:X:X: Connection refused (111)
Dec 10 17:23:06 mobian bluetoothd[485]: profiles/audio/avdtp.c:avdtp_connect_cb() connect to FC:58:FA:X:X:X: Permission denied (13)

Since this has happened to me numerous times (seemingly completely random), a simple fix is to completely remove the previously setup bluetooth device on the Pinephone, and then readd it from scratch:

Code:
bluetoothctl

In bluetoothctl I entered:

Code:
remove FC:58:FA:X:X:X

After removing the device completely, I was able to reconnect by starting the pair over again from scratch.

I used bluetoothctl (there is also a "Remove Device" under Bluetooth settings in Mobian).

I don't know if this helps anyone or not, but I am sharing in case it helps someone shares the same frustrating problem. Outside this Bluetooth has really improved in functionality (besides the weak connection mentioned in another thread).

To add: I am really happy with the noticeable progress (to think, just a few months ago, no bluetooth headphones were usable, now I rarely experience problems).

Great progress. Now I can listen to Podcasts without a problem (tip: set podcasts to use Lolipop to prevent sound cutouts on 'blankscreen').
Thank you to all contributors! Big Grin


  no sound
Posted by: ronnybob - 12-10-2020, 04:24 PM - Forum: Nemo Mobile on PinePhone - No Replies

I installed KDE Neon on my phone and there is no sound of any kind, I checked all settings and they seem to be normal settings, I know the sound is ok in other o/s like Manjaro.


  Just got my Pinecil
Posted by: EricL - 12-10-2020, 02:38 PM - Forum: General - No Replies

Hey all.

I just got my Pinecil.  Immediately hooked it up to PD and tested it.  I'm impressed at how quickly it heats up given the wattage I allocated to it.  (I went into advanced settings and limited it to 15 watts, mostly to compare it to a similar-sized soldering pencil I had lying around.)  I did notice one thing odd though.  I didn't use it for very long (just long enough to dip the tip in some tinning compound and clean it), but the space around the "+" button seemed to get noticeably warm.  Not burning hot, mind you, but given that the housing is made out of plastic, it got warm enough to make me wonder how hot the components underneath were getting.  Anyone else noticed this?  Should I be concerned?

  Phone malfunctioning, cannot update
Posted by: rayculp - 12-10-2020, 12:02 AM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (6)

Hi all,

I ordered a Pinephone 64 in September 2020 and was really excited when it arrived in November. I know the Manjaro OS and software is a work-in-progress, so I was expecting things to be a bit rough around the edges. That's completely ok.

But it has now become impossible to update the OS, even though updates are available. I'm constantly getting errors like "error: key "####################" could not be looked up remotely" and others.

I have Googled possible fixes for these errors and would be interested in trying them out, but the phone has now also started freezing up randomly, which makes it impossible to work at all. I'll be in the middle of executing some command in the terminal and the phone will simply stop responding. The only way to get it to work again is by resetting it (pressing the power button for 5 seconds). 

I have an MCSA certification, but I'm still a novice with Linux, and my Linux experience has been limited to Ubuntu up till now. Under these circumstances, I would say it's time to completely re-install the OS from scratch. However, I have been unable to find a step-by-step guide for installing the OS on the Pinephone specifically. 

I basically have two questions:


  1. Is it ok for me to use this guide? https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=10403 It was written for the Pinebook Pro, but it seems to be the closest thing available. Or is there a better guide available for the Pinephone?
  2. Manjaro does not seem to be an OS that was created specifically for phones. If I re-install the OS from scratch, will this delete custom settings in the Pinephone that were implemented at the factory and are necessary to make the phone work? If so, where do I find documentation to re-create those settings after installation?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Todays Manjaro CE Update Broke my AT&T Data
Posted by: cyberbillp - 12-09-2020, 08:27 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (4)

Pretty much what the title says.

Today my Manjaro CE Pinephone showed a bevy of software updates waiting to install. I hit install and checked later and it looked like it was working. When I left the house I found out my mobile data is dead.

I put in a Sailfish OS SD Card, booted, and mobile data works great. (so its not the sim card).

Pulled the SD card and booted back to Manjaro, and: no mobile data.

So clearly this update killed mobile data for me.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I'm not a Manjaro expert, but I did run Vector (Slackware) for years, if anybody has any ideas on what to look for.

I'm actually suspecting something like an insmod statement is missing or something. Thoughts?

Any help would be appreciated.


  Secure Mobile OS
Posted by: PineSupporter - 12-09-2020, 06:32 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (14)

Hello Pine community, I'm a linux newbie and was wondering if there are certain mobile Linux OSes that are more secure than others?  From reading various posts on reddit I've come across some saying Ubuntu Touch is secure because of the apps being isolated from each other, and being able to choose app permissions. Is that not the case for other mobile OSes?  It looks like Mobian is the preferred OS for Pinephone for many people right now because of stability/usability.  How is it as far as security?   I'm trying to learn Linux for privacy and security reasons, and wanting to get away from the Apple/Google duopoly and am happy to support the free/libre philosophy.  Can you explain to me how each mobile distro differs in security, or point to resources I can dive into?  Thank you Smile
