  Troubleshooting RockPro64 + Roshambo case SSD problems
Posted by: necoc.yaotl - 11-20-2020, 01:57 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - Replies (1)

I recently purchased a RockPro64 & Roshambo case, and I installed Batocera Linux on it and enabled the case, everything seems to work but the RoshamboPro kit seems to have a problem when inserting the SSD on the board. 

When I insert the SSD into the board, the unit behaves erratically, some of the behaviors I have witnessed include USB panel in front of the unit stops responding, fan stops, SSD is recognized momentarily, top buttons (Power/Reset) stop working and sometimes the LED 706 inside the unit will blink. After removing the SSD, the system behaves normally.
 
I have rules out a problem with the SSD (It works fine when connecting to other machine) or with the RockPro64 USB3 (when I connect the SSD directly outside the case, it works), but I don't know if it is a problem with the cable connecting the RockPro64 to the board or the Roshambo board itself.

Anyone has experienced similar issues? Any known workaround? 

Thanks


  Modem can't dial out
Posted by: jmorris - 11-20-2020, 01:07 PM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - Replies (12)

Finally took the plunge and moved phone service to my pinephone, time to get on the cutting edge of Open Source.... ouch.

Can send and receive SMS, can receive calls.  Can't call out.

Here is what showed in .xsession-errors

Code:
** (sm.puri.Calls:3442): WARNING **: 12:55:03.573: Error starting outgoing call ModemManager call to `13374636217': GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Error.Core.Failed: Couldn't start the call: Unhandled response '+QLWURC: "pdp active","failed","nxtgenphone"

+QLWURC: "deregister",0'
** Message: 12:55:03.606: Removing call `/org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/Call/0'
** Message: 12:55:03.607: Call `/org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/Call/0' removed
And logread:

Code:
Nov 20 12:55:03 pinephone daemon.info [2839]: <info>  [modem0/call0] user request to start call
Nov 20 12:55:03 pinephone daemon.info [2839]: <info>  [modem0/call0] call state changed: unknown -> dialing (outgoing-started)
Nov 20 12:55:03 pinephone daemon.warn [2839]: <warn>  [modem0/call0] couldn't start call: Couldn't start the call: Unhandled response '+QLWURC: "pdp active","failed","nxtgenphone"^M ^M +QLWURC: "deregister",0'
Nov 20 12:55:03 pinephone daemon.info [2839]: <info>  [modem0/call0] call state changed: dialing -> terminated (unknown)

Have the AT Command Reference for the modem, +QLWURC is not anywhere in it so digging there is going to be fun.  I'm on a paygo plan and it is charging me for two minutes of use on every attempt.  Occasionally I hear a fraction of a second of what sounds like the greeting for the called number.  So it isn't just failing instantly, something happens first.

Random bits that might matter.   The phone has no data plan so data is disabled in the control panel.  The APN settings have been set to what defaulted after the SIM went active and then to what www.bestmvno.com recommended for H2O Wireless... or would if the UI allowed input of most of the recommended settings.  Even though the subscribed plan has "LTE" in the name, the phone insists on connecting to 3G, forcing 4G Only gets no service.  There IS 4G service from AT&T in the area.


  Modem stops working after CRUST
Posted by: Trbl - 11-20-2020, 12:53 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (3)

I've done some exhaustive testing with multiple different distributions (Manjaro, UbTouch, SXMO, Pure) on my new Manjaro CE PinePhone, and no matter what, after some time, the 4G stops working completely after unlocking the screen until i reboot the phone. I've also updated the modem firmware from the sticky post in your forums but that didn't change anything either. I've been getting conflicting information on matrix/google. Most people say they don't have those issues or very infrequently, for me its constantly doing that and I feel like I spend most of the time rebooting my phone to get it to work again briefly.


Support was unhelpful as f***, made me doubt they even read the damn ticket and really pisses me off...

Quote:We suspect that the OS build not been flashed correctly at the factory. Please try re-flash the New image OS as below step.

Instructions on how to re-flash the OS image can be found here:

Thank you.

Is this a hardware defect? Do I have to bother with the ticket support?


  About desktop apps
Posted by: ryo - 11-20-2020, 08:38 AM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (1)

I have done more experiments on my old Nexus 5 with Ubuntu Touch.
I installed Gedit (text editor for Gnome) on it, it works (except for the on screen keyboard, it never comes up at all)!
But I noticed that if you keep it open and turn off the screen, the battery will become warm and gets discharged very quickly until you close the app.

Does this happen on PinePhone under Phosh or Plasma Mobile too?

Question was put under "Manjaro" category, because this is the edition that will arrive here next week.


  Network settings, where to find the config files?
Posted by: hvdkooij - 11-20-2020, 07:41 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (1)

I have an issue that I can't resolve. I try to setup the Pinebook pro (With Manjaro Arch Linux) in such a way that it will connect to cabled with a fixed IP and all if my USB adapter is plugged in and fall back to wireless with DHCP if that is not the case.

But Network Manager only sems to active the network if I login.

I want all of this to work regardless of who logs in.

And preferably just configure this from the CLI and not use a point, click and pray solution.

Unfortunatly the documentation in this regard is scattered and not clear to be honest.

So if someone has some good pointers to documents that do not go over all the point ane click screenshots that don't work for me but just show the config files I need to edit then I will very much appreciate it.

Regards, Hugo.

PS: I just happen to be a vi kind of guy.


It seems there is information in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager

So far the informaton is https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Net...NS_servers is not working as advertised.

Adding it to the eth interface with  `nmcli con modify eth0 +ipv4.dns 1.1.1.1` failed for me.

Doing this the manual way did not work either.


  Ubuntu Web Remix

Hi All,

I just wanted post this hear, it's pretty new now and might be interesting for our beloved PBP, the announcement mentioned AMD64 only. Over time I guess would come to ARM64 too.

  Pinebook Pro for sell in Spain
Posted by: robieguarneros - 11-20-2020, 06:22 AM - Forum: General - Replies (2)

Hello, I bought a PBP recently and I received it and used it for a bit. Its basically brand new. I really love it and enjoy it but I don't really have time to use it and I would rather sell it to someone that will use it and put the money to better use. I have the eMMC adapter and the 128 gb eMMC as well as the 64 gb eMMC. I will ship it anywhere in Europe. We can discuss the price, this includes all the import taxes(which are quite expensive) for the PBP and the accessories. I can ship it anywhere in Europe and we can choose shipping.


  RockPro64 line out/headphones in Android 9
Posted by: Wizzard - 11-20-2020, 04:15 AM - Forum: Android on RockPro64 - No Replies

Ok, so it seems that line out/headphones jack works in Android 9 on RockPro, but I need to run this app before:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...dset_testt
Without running it and clicking on Speaker Toggle there is no audio from audio jack. It seems that the headphones/line out cable is not detected.

So, how do I enable line out by default after boot? Now I have to run that Speaker Toggle after each boot when I want to use line out.

there must be some asound/alsa config some somewhere, but I was unable to find it.


I found this app better for that
https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...eheadphone
It allows running after start and it can automatically set the desired output (although the outputs are reversed).


  Application "Software" crashes when i tap on any category
Posted by: User 20385 - 11-20-2020, 03:59 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - No Replies

Hi all,
when i start the application "Software" in order to search or install any softwarepackage, the application crashes when i e.g. tap on the category "Games" or "Audio & Video".

I switched over from ArchlinuxARM, there had been the same issue, but it was solved by dance12 via a package update.

Plz have a look: https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pi.../issues/91

Regards, A.


Update: Found a similar issue here in this forum, will close this one ...
