  PINEBOOK Pro USB-C Docking Deck compatibility
Posted by: zxorg - 11-29-2020, 01:33 AM - Forum: General - Replies (8)

Hello people, just saw on twitter the new PINEBOOK Pro USB-C Docking Deck.
I have 2 question though:

  1. Does this USB-C dock work with any USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 port say MSi notebook?
  2. In my consideration the cable is too short. Some notebooks have the USB-C on the back of the computer so you need at least half a meter to put the dock properly on the side, otherwise you have to buy an extension.


  How to update the OS
Posted by: markc - 11-28-2020, 11:26 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (8)

This is embarrasing but I briefly saw the option to update the OS when I first turned on my Manjaro phone but now I can't find how to update the OS and google is not my friend today. Is there a video somewhere that CLEARLY shows how to update the OS?

Also, FWIW, it took me 1/2 an hour of wasted time on youtube just to find out that the initial lockscreen passcode is 123456.


  Uborts OpenStore + Mobian?
Posted by: 3x5co - 11-28-2020, 11:09 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (1)

I see some apps in the OpenStore that I would like to use, but I'm running Mobian. Is there a way to run Ubuntu Touch apps on Mobian?

  Delivery date. Very rough estimate will do :)
Posted by: xemute - 11-28-2020, 02:04 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (2)

Hi,
Sorry if i've missed this in any of the stickies. I was just wondering if there's somewhere i can check on the progress of delivery of my pinephone? When i ordered it (21st Nov, and i'm in the UK), I wasn't given a courier option like i've seen some people talk about on here, nor was i given any kind of reference number for the order, just an email that the order is being processed.  I'm not demanding 'where is my pinephone' or anything like that (i'm a very patient bloke Smile ), just asking if there's anyway i can see updates and stuff like that?
Once again, apologies if this is in a sticky post somewhere and i've not noticed it.

Many thanks,
mute

  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
