It almost seems that starting just after I received my PineBook Pro in the second quarter of 2020, it has be plagued with log-in and password problems. At present, I am trying to reinstall the current version of the Manjaro operating system on the laptop. It will boot and get to the login screen, then the first problem arrives: the USERNAME is correct, but the PASSWORD always seems to fail. Earlier, can't remember exactly when, there were some instructions on how to find and/or reset the initial passwords that are set during the first boot process. I remember seeing, and using, those instructions once. But right now, I can't remember the key combinations required to interrupt the boot process and get badk into the install process. Any help would be welcome.
Thank you.

Hi I have one of the original UBPorts edition phones. Today I received a new main board (the 3gb version) . However whatever I do I can't get anything other than jumpdrive to boot on it. I've tried the latest builds of Manjaro and UBPorts. I've read that there needs to be a patch applied before some OSes will boot with the 3gb ram version but given Manjaro is the OS that comes with the 3gb edition pinephone and the UBports edition should have the patch in the latest update im not sure where I'm going wrong?
The eMMC shows up on my desktop when jump drive is running and after I've flashed the image to the eMMC I can see the partitions on the eMMC but its just not booting. No lights nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

Well done! I like it. It's not the daily driver - yet; but it has tremendous upside.
How to navigate around putty an applications in general when they dont present the keyboard with tab, esc, alt, etc?
Meanwhile, the usb dock worked with a keyboard that had a wireless mouse (that's one port and cisco usb console cable was in the other port) The dock's hdmi to a TV also worked. More to come.
How to get Linux PC <==> Manjaro Pine when attached. For example to load music into Lolly Pop?
Would life be better with a Manjaro VM?
It came with a red blah blah blah cable... can I use my iPhone wall plug to charge my pine?

Hey, I've just noticed a crack in the middle-right of my Pinephone's case from repeatedly removing and replacing it. Might be good to redesign it in such a way that there isn't too much stress on the right side of the case when you do that.
It's no biggie tho, now I get to try my hand at printing my own.

I don't think these two are related but this is how I discovered the locale issue. I tried regenerating locale with "locale-gen" but no dice, could be improperly configured locales when builiding glibc (I remember having a similar issue on my Gentoo install a few years ago). I have no idea what I could do to try and fix the Geary segfault.

| squeekboard not fired for sim unlock when booting |

When booting with a SIM card, the sim unlock screen pops up on top of the main unlock screen, but with no keyboard firing up.
One needs to cancel the sim unlock, "main-unlock" the device by entering password, and then, tap on the top bar to open the sim-unlock screen again. Which is quite annoying.
Does anyone experience the same, and/or has figured a way to get the keyboard functionning directly on boot with a SIM card inserted ?

an OS Update is being offered on "Software" - should I do the update? |

Hello everyone,
Yesterday, in the late afternoon, I have gotten on my PinePhone Manjaro's "Software" application a notification that an OS update is available.
I did not download it yet, after reading some comments here and there that the update is fragile and even bricks the phone.
Should I do the update?
Additionally, a suggestion (I hope somebody from the Manjaro-arm team is reading here):
It would be super useful, if when releasing an OS update, a relatively detailed description will be added.
I mean, "performance and security improvements" is good to be used at the first line of the description, but it does not contain enough info for an OS update IMHO.
Well - sure, it is impossible and unnecessary to mention every single file or lib that is being updates / replaced / removed etc.. but I'd say it is quite important to also include important details such as:
1. if the kernel is being updated (and to which version exactly)
2. if any core library is being updated (incl. versions etc.. as well)
3. if any important feature of the phone is being updated (e.g. "Screen lock functionality improved", or "xxx was replaced by yyy" etc..)
My 2 cents 
And once again, a big thank you to the manjaro-arm team, for working relentlessly on improving Manjaro for the PinePhone, I feel that it has huge potential and I that we are not too far away from having a phone that has an almost acceptable stability to be used as a daily driver.
* I would like to mention, that even though I do it anonymously (and wish to keep it that way) - those of you who can, please donate to the Manjaro-arm team, you can donate as low as $1 / €1. those guys are working on this project using their own free time, the least we can do is support the costs of the basic test equipment, hosting, etc..
I have used this link: https://opencollective.com/manjaro-arm/donate (I am in Europe)

| Main Board Swap: Camera connector problems |

Hoping there is someone that can shed some light on these connectors for the cameras. I popped off the hinge (on a braveheart edition) to remove the ribbon connector, but I'm having problems getting it to clamp back down on the new main board revision.
In the video with Martign Braam installing a new board, he conveniently has the cameras preinstalled yet this is the part that I'm having the only problems with, and of course that is the part the factory did for him (probably because it's a pain).
They appear to be just hinged and not the ones you have to flip then slide it in to lock but I'm putting a lot of force and it has started to flake off some of the plastic so I'm afraid of going further.
Video for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GbMoZ_zuZs
EDIT:
Looks like the camera connector will not have an audible click when it is pivoted down. After pushing the ribbon all the way in (make sure to do this) with the clamp up, begin to push the clamp part down and it will cause a "ratchet" motion when you reach about 45 degrees with the clamp. After which it will continue to push the ribbon down without snapping into place and it will impart pressure down to keep the ribbon connected... at least that is what I'm guessing as i haven't been able to get mine to turn on. My board might be DOA. I'm not getting the screen on yet with the factory image still on there or the jumpdrive image loaded onto an SD card. Anyone else have a dead replacement board?

Hi!
About 4 days ago, I received my new ME Pinphone and I'm very happy with it!
I've been playing with it and it looks awesome! But today, I installed a SIM card, which I bought for the Pinephone. The PP asks me the PIN and unlocks it, but I am not able to call or send SMS and I don't know what can it be... Any ideas??
I tried the SIM card with my other phone and it works correctly, but with the PinePhone I do not see any phone coverage, and I tried to activate the mobile data and it does nothing...
As said by @kern707 the uname -r gives me the following:
5.9.1-9-MANJARO-ARM
All the help will be appreceiated! Thanks very much!
EDIT 2: I bought 2 Pinephone, one for a colleague of mine. So, I tried to install SIM in this Pinephone and it works without any issue!! The only difference between both pinephones is that mine was updated, when I type uname -r in the other pinephone the response was: 5.9.1-4-MANJARO-ARM. it is possible that the problem had been the update?
I will try to reinstall the image of the Pinephone to get mine to 5.9.1-4-MANJARO-ARM.
