Hello,

I'm selling PinePhone pmOS to anyone based in Japan.
It's in perfect new condition. Only used for a day, been left inside the box ever since because I couldn't find a way to incorporate it into my current workflow. Everything included with the official pmOS box.

I'm selling it for 1,4000円

If you're interested leave a comment below or pm me.

Best regards,
Carl

Hey good people.

Has anyone managed to get networkmanager-l2tp to establish a connection on Manjaro 20.04 for the Pinebook Pro?  On mine, xl2tpd keeps quitting with a signal 15 as soon as it tries to establish a connection, and frustratingly does not provide any details as to why.  I'm not sure if it supports any sort of verbose logging, and I'm still fuzzy as to where networkmanager-l2tp stashes the configs it passes to strongswan and xl2tpd where I might turn such logging on or at least double-check the config.  The connection establishes fine on Debian using the unofficial installer, as well as other clients I've connected previously, so I know my general setup is fine.  I just can't figure out why Manjaro won't connect.

Anyone have any pitfalls they've encountered getting it working, something I might check for?  I really want to give Manjaro a fair shot if at all possible, but not being able to use my home VPN is a bit of an issue.  

I'd love to know what people are doing as far as security tweaks for the pinephone. Not that I need anything like CalyxOS or Graphene type of phone, but I'd like to put a little VPN on it as it can only be used for a pocket linux. I don't have the skill set to really work on the phone like others, but maybe one day I will.

I was looking at the schematic for the Pinecil, and it seems like the way the GPIO pins are broken out through the USB port might be a little strange.  I'm seeing SPI and UART broken out on the SSTX pins.  Is this thing likely to fry a regular USB port should someone absentmindedly try to use one?

UBPorts running on PinePhone and Cosmo, how cool is that?

After today's update

Continued Issues
Settings: date/time issue continues - now you cant change the date/time from Jan 10, 2116 20:34
Lolly Pop:head phone issue continues - still doesnt play through the head phone but through the speakers
Software: continues not to display available software and it was not aware of today's update until sudo pacman -Syyu was ran

New issue
Global issue:The X in an minimized app upper right hand corner is missing and there is no intuitive way close an opened app

New app
Disks: - displays partition info although it report SD 32GB and I dont have one present (Maybe I am reading it wrong)

Image Viewer: First impression is it that is working a little more "smoother"

Still well done and I am looking forward to contribute one day!!

I booted into a microSD-borne Manjaro on my PinebookPro and used Manjaro's `manjaro-arm-flasher` to permanentize that distribution. In that process, however, I chose the wrong image `rock64` rather than `pbpro` and as a result ended up with a PinebookPro that is not even able to boot from the microSD any longer.

In a first attemtp at remediing this situation I have switched off the eMMC on the main bord - now booting from the microSD is possible. The wiki says the eMMC is hot-pluggable, so I hoped when switching it back on when the system is up and running, I could just reflash it and be fine.

BUT: when toggling the eMMC's hardware switch on the running system, the blockdevice does NOT (re)appear accessible for the `manjaro-arm-flasher` utility.
My next step is trying to have journalctl -f running while toggling the eMMC to have a better feedback of what may be going wrong ...

Can anyone help me out with this situation?

Hello,

I'd like to contribute to https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_APN_Settings (or ask someone to do it if that is not possible). Should I just register or what the process is?

I've contacted @Luke via PM but I think he's too busy or receives too many PMs.

Also I'd like to encourage everyone to do the same as well, we all will benefit from this.

With my newly received 3GB device flashed to Mobian 11/13 image, it seems the battery will not charge beyond 50%. Furthermore the Powersupply app does not report charging when plugged in, although Settings->Power does. 

I will revert to Manjaro tomorrow to make sure it’s not a hardware issue with my device.

As I've learned here, PinePhone is running a Linux OS. Though I keen on Pinephones still there are some Android apps I love to used such as Youtube Vanced (Not Google's official app and also not available in the Play store). Is there any chance to use such apps on Pinephone like we emulators to run Android apps on PCs?
