Hello,

Recently got a pinephone and I am trying to play around and potentially contribute to ubuntu phone. I am attempting to build the address book from source based on the documentation here
https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/syste...ice-itself . When I attempt to build the package

One thing to keep in mind with the PBP and other SBC-based devices is that power for usb powered accessories is limited. This can become more of an issue if you have installed an nvme drive internally.  There is only so much power to go around.  I like to rip CD's to FLAC and have found there is not enough power on the usb bus to power my external optical drive.  I purchased a cheap externally powered optical drive off of Amazon, which should remedy the issue.  Will let y'all know how it goes.

Hi all,

I managed to create a buildroot image with kernel 5.10rc4 for the pinecube. The actually usb-patch from daniel fullmer is not yet included.

ffmpeg and v4l2 are preinstalled in the image. I add the link to download the image here (google drive). Simply burn to sdcard.

The image boots on the console UART2. An ethernet connection is done via dhcp and sshd starts automatically.

Login is root & Password pinecube.

Unfortunately Wifi is not working yet. Also media-ctl brings an error "no /dev/media0".

I am grateful for tips on further configuration of the kernel and necessary packages.

Regards

Link Update:

New image with wifi now working & ov5640 driver & ffmpeg preinstalled

Hey guys Im looking for a little guidance... well maybe alot! lol I have a project that requires me to run a standard GPU on an SBC which i have chosen the RockPro64 to do so.  I am currently running Ayufan's Ubuntu18 which works well with the rest of my software, but have been having some difficulty getting the GPU to work.  I have 2 problems (which ultimately might just be the same)

1. When trying to install the drivers it errors out with "Unable to load the kernal module nvidia.ko" I have asked at nVidia forums to see if i can get some guidance on this, unless someone here knows why it errors out.  It give a list of possible reasons for it to do this (built against the wrong sources, with the wrong version of GCC, or if another driver such as nouveau is present, or if no GPU is installed <-- think this is the problem)
   
2. When i power up the GPU and boot the RockPro is fails to boot.  I get the red and white light constant and thats it.  The only things i know to look at are in GRUB but thats not present so I am at a bit of a loss.  Its obviously failing to boot due to the GPU, thus why i am thinking these 2 are connected since i cant "install" the GPU before installing the drivers.  Any ideas?
   

Hi, I switched to manjaro i3 from manjaro XFCE, and I am having really bad video playback everywhere. It is stuttering a lot on 720p, and it is a lot worse than it was on XFCE, basicakky unusable. I tried opening a video with mpv to see if there are any errors and I am getting this:

Hi all.
I've just made a video where I show how to install and set up Armbian Reforged on RK3399.
This is a Linux gaming image with tons of emulators preinstalled. Also Box86 to play x86 Windows and Linux games.

Here is my video. Greetings

I was reading this article from a Linus Torvalds interview. There's a choice quote from him:

Quote:I’ve been waiting for an ARM laptop that can run Linux for a long time. The new Air would be almost perfect, except for the OS. And I don’t have the time to tinker with it, or the inclination to fight companies that don’t want to help.

Hello,

I initiate a thread dedicated to the 2020-11-13 image mobian-pinephone-phosh-20201113.img.gz
Because, I find difficult to know if a problem or bug is always pertinent when the OS's version is not known or when it is better to flash the new version than to only upgrade.
If there is a better solution, don't hesitate to give it

I want to trace what is working after a new update. - 12-4-2020

I always make an 'apt update && apt dist-upgrade' in a console.

• SMS : Unable to read the message received : 'systemctl restart phosh' needed.
  
• Call with a short number : I have some short numbers like '123'. When I use the phone application and dial '123', I have my communication. But when the number is associated to a contact in the application 'Contacts', it's not possible to have a call.
  
• Landscape / Portrait mode : When the phone is in Portrait mode and I change to Landscape mode, I must turn my phone on the left to have a normal view. But if the phone goes in sleep mode (manually or alone), the screen to unlock it is in Portrait mode and after I must turn my phone on the right to have a normal view. If I force the sleeping mode again, I recover the normal Landscape mode, I must turn my phone on the left to have a normal view. The bug seems that the Landscape mode is well memorized but the angle of rotation is not the good, something like '-90 °' in place of '+90 °'.
  

As many of you know, there are problems with Mobile Data connection and modem waking up in a different state after deep sleep.
So I have come up with a solution that is automatic and does not require rebooting the phone.

Find it here --> https://gitlab.com/as400l/pp-modem-guard

Yes, I know it's nasty but the modem behaviour is so painfully unpredictable.

Dear Sirs,
 
One of the usual and more useful things of smartphones is the possibility to save the numbers of the received/made calls from dial application to memory & contacts application as well as to dial numbers from the contacts application. It seems that this is not possible from the manjaro’s applications of my new device.
Without this possibility I think that it has no sense to use a device differently from an interesting play, my simple G2 old NOKIA can do this and, since it has no access to internet at the moment is a good privacy solution.
 
Any suggestions?
 
Best regards
