  Screen share vnc/rdp/x11 ?
Posted by: mingodad - 11-17-2020, 08:46 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (5)

For development would be nice if we could have a screen share setup for the PinePhone.

I've got a mine with Manjaro and I'm struggling to find a way to share the PinePhone screen/imput to my linux desktop, I've tried to find vnc/xrdp through the package manager but no luck.

Does someone managed to have a good setup for screen/input sharing ?


  Where is the barometer ?
Posted by: mingodad - 11-17-2020, 07:27 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (8)

Based on this page https://www.pine64.org/pinephone/ the pinephone does have a barometer sensor but I do not see any mention elsewhere about it.
If it doesn't have a barometer I think that page should be updated otherwise it can be viewed as false advertisement.

Does someone know something about it ?

Cheers !

  Buying the watches
Posted by: darkeale - 11-17-2020, 07:07 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - Replies (2)

Hello,
I want to evaluate the watch capabilities and then I created an order for 2 dev kits + 2 pieces of the sealed box (total of 6 watches).
But the system say to me that I cannot order more than 1 piece of the sealed devices.
My question is: if we want to take this platform a a reference platform for one project, then how will be possibile to buy quantities?
Thanks in advance

  New OS for RockPro64 is here, TwisterOS Armbian
Posted by: jtremblant - 11-17-2020, 07:04 AM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - Replies (92)

This is what we’ve been waiting for long time for any RK3399 board, a fully desktop Linux OS with mainline kernel, HW acceleration, Panfrost graphics and Kodi/MPV with HW support specially if you’re not a Linux expert, a ready-made friendly image that works out of the box for the newbie and enthusiast SBC user, it runs fast too, even from uSD:

  • Currently on 5.8.17 kernel
  • MPV built to support Mali T860 GPU
  • Firefox fully optimized to support Panfrost HW acceleration.
  • Built-in several useful software including, Kodi, USBimager, Retropie, Myandroid, Discord, Wine Desktop, Midnight commander, Remmina, Retroemulation(Dosbox, lutris, mupen64plus, ResidualVM, SNES9x, ScummVM, Redream, ZSNES), etc.
  • Armbian Focal Mate based
  • Boots from uSD, eMMC and NVMe
  • Many visual perks
  • OpenGL games included for testing(Panfrost OpenGL 2.1 only)
  • BOX86 support for Mali T860 GPU
  • lightDM display manager
  • KODI has been rebuilt from Scratch to support Mali T860 GPU
IMHO, This is the only way to get new users and Raspberry Pi users as well to venture into RK3399 boards. RockPi4C is recommended because it offers the most features at the lowest price. RockPro64 4Gb board is also recommended. RockPro64 support was added to latest Armbian-Reforged V1.0
Password: 123456

Instructions:

After flashing image with Etcher
- edit /boot/armbianEnv.txt
- replace the dtb name with rk3399-pinebook-pro.dtb or whatever RK3399 board you have, check dtb folder to know the exact name you need to type. by default we use Rockpi4C dtb
- After booting for the first time, resize partition on uSD or eMMC with included gnome-disks utility.

Many Thanks to Salva for his efforts by taking such initiative to promote all RK3399 boards with an Universal OS. @Ptitseb for his BOX86 contribution.

  Reset Password Last Night, Now I can't login
Posted by: Phydoux - 11-17-2020, 04:50 AM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (6)

I reset the password to a word using sudo password and I used a word, not numbers. Now when I log into my phone, I see the number pad to enter the password but I just realized that the number pad doesn't have any letters on it. Is there a picture that shows where the letters would be? I tried looking at my Samsung phone but I still get a password Login error.


  OpenWRT + Intel I350-T4 + 1x1 Dual Band WIFI
Posted by: pi64 - 11-17-2020, 04:25 AM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - No Replies

Hi,

i want to substitute my current AP with a RockPro64, a quadport Intel I350-T4 PCIe card and the 1x1 Dual Band Wifi Module. It should run the current OpenWRT version.

  • Is this setup/configuration stable or will it encounter the PCIe controller hardware error handling bug?
  • Does the official OpenWRT release run out of the box with this setup or do i have to compile it by my self?
  • Does the quadport card fit into the NAS case?
Many thanks in advance for your replies.

Sincerly

Lightbulb Calendar and syncthing
Posted by: cybercow - 11-17-2020, 12:46 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (1)

I'd like to be able to (automatically) share my calendar using syncthing but unsurprisingly this isn't going well by just syncing the "calendar.ics" file since this resumes in file conflicts.

Now the question: is there already a solution for that?

If not:
has anyone a good overview over software(libraries) for working with .ics files?
I thought if I automatically (by cron job or on creation) write new events into a separate file
which I than sync instead of calendar.ics and get the evolution calendar server (which the calendar app seams to rely on) automatically import events of the synced file
than this would be find. Is anyone out there who knows more about all all that puzzle parts and is willing to help?

Thanks.


  Random crashes
Posted by: ab1jx - 11-16-2020, 11:20 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (3)

I'm using the mrfixit stretch on the eMMC that it was shipped with (in January).  Twice today I picked it up and it had shut down and rebooted.  Once I was typing something and it happened so I got to see it.  It froze for a couple seconds then rebooted.  I have it set to boot to a command line so if I leave it in X and come back to a command line something happened.

Using the original power supply but the battery is still in it and working, shouldn't be that.  It seems to always reboot and come back up, it doesn't turn off.


  How to edit PHOSH icons/shortcuts
Posted by: tonyvr - 11-16-2020, 09:41 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (1)

I want to modify my Aisleriot icon/shortcut to prefix the 'sol' command with my desired locale ('LANG=en_US.utf8').
Where do the shortcuts triggered by the icons reside in PHOSH?


  SoEdge v. SoPine
Posted by: ian-s-mcb - 11-16-2020, 08:10 PM - Forum: SOEdge Hardware - Replies (2)

I'm having some trouble understanding the wiki for the soon to be released SoEdge. How do the SoPine and the SoEdge compare in terms of performance and features? From the wiki, it seems like the SoEdge is less performant, which is odd because it's newer. Maybe I'm a bit daft, but I think the wiki can use some revising and I'd like to help.

I've read on the wiki that the SoPine has a Allwinner A64 SoC (Quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 Processor@1152Mhz), where as the SoEdge has Rockchip RK1808 SoC (Dual Cortex-A35 up to 1.6GHz).

Here are the SoC spec pages:
http://www.allwinnertech.com/index.php?c...index&id=9
https://www.rock-chips.com/a/en/products...9/989.html

Here is how I compared the CPUs:

Thanks for your time.
