  Pinetab Mobian optimization
Posted by: tomoqv - 11-28-2020, 08:00 AM - Forum: PineTab Software - Replies (13)

I am starting thread for tips about optimizing Mobian on the Pinetab. As built-in RAM is limited and the Pinetab seems to suffer significantly from it, I would like to find the settings that yields the best possible performance for running firefox, geary and other programs and apps.

Here are my current settings, which I think give some performance improvements although my Pinetab is quite laggy still at times and even freezes occassionally.

/etc/default/zramswap

Code:
PERCENT=100
#SIZE=512
PRIORITY=100
CORES=1


/etc/sysctl.conf

Code:
vm.vfs_cache_pressure=500
vm.swappiness=100
vm.dirty_background_ratio=1
vm.dirty_ratio=50

Please tell me if these settings are of any help to you or if you have other settings that makes the Pinetab faster and more responsive.

Here are some memory stats with the above settings:

After a fresh reboot:

Code:
~$ free -h
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache  available
Mem:          1,9Gi      795Mi      443Mi        56Mi      690Mi      938Mi
Swap:        1,9Gi          0B      1,9Gi

With firefox running:

Code:
~$ free -h
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache  available
Mem:          1,9Gi      1,3Gi        63Mi      161Mi      551Mi      319Mi
Swap:        1,9Gi        16Mi      1,9Gi

With firefox and geary running:

Code:
~$ free -h
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache  available
Mem:          1,9Gi      1,3Gi        66Mi      180Mi      542Mi      294Mi
Swap:        1,9Gi      330Mi      1,6Gi

Posted by: Gerhard - 11-28-2020, 03:17 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (2)

  Writing an image to on-system emmc
Posted by: fmotta - 11-28-2020, 02:15 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (3)

I see great tools and extensions to others for creating bootable SD cards - thanks!

I am still fuzzy on flashing on-system emmc.  So far I am guessing it involves something like Jumpdrive and then the command below?

wget 172.16.42.2/u.img -O - | dd bs=4M conv=noerror,sync of=/dev/mmcblk2

Thanks for clarification.  I cannot seem to see another and the trial to 'dd' a live SD card were as stable as expected.

Cheers


  Python3-yoyo errors
Posted by: Ireallyhateuaernames - 11-28-2020, 01:23 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (4)

I installed Mobian to the emmc on my pinephone.  After resizing the partition on it's first boot, I decided to do a full system upgrade with

Code:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Unfortunately, I encountered an error with dpkg trying to unpack python3-yoyo.

I am unsure of where to look to find more information about this error as a Google search doesn't bring up any results, so any help would be greatly appreciated.


  How to enable Ethernet with UBPorts and convergence dock?
Posted by: piney-tim - 11-27-2020, 07:31 PM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Wondering if anyone knows how to get an ethernet connection working through the convergence dock with Ubuntu Touch (build #90). I have the Manjaro convergence version of the pinephone and ethernet worked transparently with multiple Manjaro builds so I know the hardware works but I can't get Ubuntu Touch to recognize it.

I found a reference somewhere to modprobe CDCEther which outputs "Module CDCEther not found in directory /lib/modules/5.6.0-pine64" but I have no idea if that's the issue. Can anyone offer some help or a pointer to the right place to ask? Thx!

Rainbow Armbian Groovy/Bullseye with Gnome
Posted by: clover - 11-27-2020, 02:25 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (10)

I built some Armbian 21.02.0-trunk Groovy images (both minimal and GNOME3) last night.

They are available here: https://www.ironrobin.net/clover/droppy/...ro/armbian

I hope you find them useful!

Bugs I've found:
- Locking / blanking the screen crashes or freezes gnome-shell on wayland. Can't reproduce the issue with X11. (issue recently resolved: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1536)

11/28 Update: fixed bootsplash
