  How to disable vibration feedback on the touch keyboard?
Posted by: punchy88 - 11-26-2020, 02:15 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - No Replies

Tapping the 'globe' icon on the touch keyboard displays 'Keyboard Settings'. When tapping 'Keyboard Settings', I observe no change.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a command to disable vibration feedback on the touch keyboard?

Happy Holiday  Smile

  Braveheart PinePhone Mainboard Upgrade
Posted by: bridadan - 11-26-2020, 11:10 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (1)

I made a video showing how to upgrade the mainboard of the PinePhone. It's similar to Martijn Braam's video but it goes into a bit more detail, like transferring the cameras and the proximity sensor housing. Hope it helps some folks!


  chromium 87: wayland-native
Posted by: maxjrh - 11-26-2020, 11:08 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

chromium 87 can now run wayland-native if you run it by

Code:
chromium --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland

I found that webgl aquarium has about twice the performance.


(firefox also supports wayland if you set MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1)


  PBP Not Charging
Posted by: wolf - 11-26-2020, 07:31 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (5)

Since getting my pbp a few months ago it has occasionally failed to start up due to an unexpected empty battery. This has been regardless of the level of charge on the last shutdown and often even occurred while plugged in for topping up. So far, the remedy has been to let it continued charging for a day or so.
Happened again a few days ago but now it won't charge at all and can't even be started, despite being plugged in and charging that whole time. Pressing the start button (whether it's plugged in or not) lights up the amber LED, sometimes goes to green, as normal... but then turns off. It once got to the login screen, showed the battery at 0%, and died.
Up till now the battery, once charged, has had decent life, so it's probably not a bad battery. Although I don't think I've ever seen it at more than 60-70% regardless of the time it's been on the charger.

Any thoughts?


  Manjaro system update failed, bricked PinePhone
Posted by: jalanga - 11-26-2020, 06:32 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Hi,

I received my PinePhone today with manjaro preinstalled.
I wanted to update the os, the system update was stuck for ~1hour in searching update.
So i opened the terminal and run

Code:
sudo pacman -Syuu

The update got stuck at an error about perl and default local. I couldn't do nothing, the phone did not respond so after 1 hour I removed the battery.

Now, when I start it the red led lights is showing up, but on the screen... nothing.
I bought an SDXC ScanDisk extreme 64GB, put ubuntu touch on it..and nothing. No red led light, nothing on screen.
I used the Pine64 installer to create the bootable SD card.
The image I downloaded from here: https://ci.ubports.com/job/rootfs/job/rootfs-pinephone/ .

What should I try to make it work? 

Thank you.


  Coaxial cable damaged
Posted by: p1trson - 11-26-2020, 03:22 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (3)

Hello all,

unfortunately I have managed to damage the coaxial cable: https://pine64.com/product/pinephone-coa...46c16e2e66 while swapping the mainboard. It was quite unfortunate, it seems it wasn't properly at its place and while screwing the screws back, one of it nearly cut it to half completely.


I did test everything after the mainboard swap and the only think which is not working now is the mobile(carrier) signal (it's either very poor or not at all), can that be caused by damaged coaxial cable? What is this coaxial cable used for? From the description in the store it's not quite clear to me.

I would have to test but I think the WiFi signal strength dropped as well (but works at least) can it be related as well?

I will order it from the pinestore, but I'm quite dissapointed that I will have to wait (probably long) now.

Does anybody have spare coaxial cable in EU? if yes PM me if it can be sent to me (I'd pay the price in the store and the post costs).

Or can I try to solder it, would that be safe or not woth it?

cheers


  Few questions about flashing to a MicroSD card on the Pinebook Pro
Posted by: SanjevR - 11-25-2020, 05:15 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook - Replies (6)

Hey all so I purchased another Pinephone and I want to flash an OS to my microSD card. Previously to flash I used my Mac Laptop and it required an acessory with a USB cable to connect the microsd to the laptop. Now I don't want to use a mac but rather i'd like to use my Pinebook Pro since I am trying to make this my main computer. It does seem that the pinebook Pro has a slot for sd cards but it doesn't appear to have anything for MicroSD cards. Another questions I have is it seems that I can't find Balena Etcher in the pacmac-manager. How do I download it?


Photo Screen replacement question - moving components
Posted by: Zebulon Walton - 11-25-2020, 04:03 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (1)

I received the replacement screen for my Pinephone, and following the instructions and video for replacing the motherboard I'm most of the way there. Getting the midframe off was a real challenge but I managed to do so without breaking anything as far as I could tell. The big black adhesive patch over the ribbon cables came off pretty easily after being heated with a hairdryer.

How do I move the components highlighted below to new screen? Are they glued in place?

  Pinecil
Posted by: Erincka - 11-25-2020, 03:10 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (1)

Hello,

I have the TS100, is it possible to use your tips on the TS100 or is it not recommended?

To use your pinecil with a PD / QC charger, do you need a special PD / QC cable or it has nothing to do with it, and all cables are compatible?

For PD technology, I see that there are several versions, but 20V / 5A is PD 3.0?

Thank you


  kubernetes (k3s) on the pinephone

Just for fun! Smile

Using latest mobian:

sudo apt install curl
curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | sh -

Profit!

Quote:EDIT: After those two issues were fixed (https://gitlab.com/mobian1/devices/sunxi.../issues/14 & https://gitlab.com/mobian1/devices/sunxi.../issues/16) k3s works out of the box in Mobian without any tweak in the /etc/rancher/k3s/config.yaml file \o/


ipset nor vxlan are supported in the Mobian kernel, so I've ended up disabing networkpolicies and using host-gw for flannel configuration by creating a `/etc/rancher/k3s/config.yaml` file with the following content:

disable-network-policy: true
flannel-backend: "host-gw"

Then, restart the k3s service to pick up the changes:

sudo systemctl restart k3s
