| Need help with extra info to resize partition in EMMC |

Hello,
I am new here (and gald to be here). I have the postmarketOS edition, and I would like to flash the EMMC with the last Arch image.
I have the Jump Drive on a SD card and I can boot from it. Also no problem to expose the EMMC drive in my Linux laptop.
Until there all good, but then I become confuse and wnat to be sure I won't make an error :
The wiki instructions says to run cfdisk to resize the partition., this is OK. But I am not sure WHICH partition to resize ?
I can see 2 partitions, the small boot one and a other bigger (Lucks encrypted)
[Moderator edit: Removed image that did not display properly]
Sorry if the question was already answered (could not find it) and sorry for what may be a noob question.....
Do I need to resize (from the image above) sdg1 or sdg2 ? And to be 100% sure.... Must it be ext2 ? Can it be ext 4 ?
Thanks in advance for any help !

I sometimes get some freezes in firefox under Mobian, so i decided to install zram with
Code: sudo apt install zram-tools
than I changed the size of zram in /etc/default/zramswap to
I expected the size of zram to be approx. 1GB, but
shows only 1/4 of the size (252MB). I read it has something to do with the fact that the CPU has 4 cores!?
So what's the real size now? 252MB * 4, or just 252MB?
Please could someone of the more experienced users clarify that?
Edit: I found the answer at..tata...mobian wiki :-)
https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=tweaks
Anyway, because it seems the freezes have nothing to do with running out of RAM I decided to remove zram.

| Another Newb Unable to Boot From microSD |

I'm not reallly a Linux newb. I used to be a sysadmin with a farm of RedHat & Gentoo servers, and I've been toying around with various distros as home servers, all over a 20y timespan. I only really have experience with Mint/Cinnamon as a desktop system, though (7-8y). I am a total Pine newb, though. Beta quality open source hardware is making me feel like a first-timer, to be sure.
My factory Manjaro install on eMMC seems to work fine, though it won't sleep; the magnet issue, presumably, but that's for another time. My initial PEBCAK is that I opened my shiny new delivery while I was dead tired (I work the graveyard shift these days). I did the initial setup immediately. I used a 3-word combo for the root pw, and when I woke up that evening, I only remembered the first two words. SMH. The kids & I have been playing with it without issue in my user account for 2 months, but man are the software updates piling up without root access. lol
I bought a microSD card (SanDisk Extreme Plus, 128GB, XC1, V30, U3, A2 are all of the markings on it). I've tried imaging to it with DD (CygWin on our current Win7 desktop), vanilla Etcher, and then finally the Pine64 installer version of Etcher. I've tried imaging most of the available distros found on the PBP wiki. None will boot. I have not opened the case or otherwise tried to disable the eMMC. I saw in my early reading that the microSD card comes first in the boot order. Regardless of distro/image or warm/cold boot, I get the same result; about 10s of amber power light, followed by green, at which point the screen appears to power on (dead black to backlit but still black). Then, nothing. I tried increasing the screen brightness just to make sure. =)
If I insert the imaged SD card into the PBP while it's running Manjaro, and scope out the SD with Dolphin, I can see that the image appears to be intact, insofar as I see all of the expected Linux file structure.
My reading showed that SD quality could be an issue. I downloaded H2testw on the Windows desktop and tested this card. It wrote and verified without issue, but the write speed was a consistent 17.6MB/s, which seemed kind of slow compared to the 50ish that I see in other threads. I'm using a little multi-card USB reader, plugged into the USB hub in my monitor.
I'd really like to just get it back to its factory state and put in a root pw that I, you know, remember. Where shall I go next?
Thanks for reading, and sorry for being long-winded, but I didn't want to skip over any small but important items.

| How to edit & compile apps for PBP |

How can I install apps such as bitwarden, ElectronMail and ProtonMail Bridge? They provide the code which appears to be targeted also for linux, so I have hope it should work on my Manjaro PBP. Protonmail bridge also provides the PKGBUILD. The only problem is that they probably not designed to work on aarch64.
Is there a way to modify them to work on PBP Manjaro?
I tried installing bitwarden via AUR but it's dependency on electron seems to break it. I couldn't find any way to change that electron version. In other instances of package install via AUR (say in the case of signal desktop) I get the error if incompatible architecture ("...not available for the 'aarch64'...").
Thank you! I really appreciate the help.

| Sleep on Rock64 |

I have a Rock64 running Debian 10 buster with Home Assistant running in a Docker Container. It looks like the Rock64 goes into sleep mode and by moving it wakes up but has to re-load every thing. How do stop it from going into sleep mode since want the Home Assistant running all the time. When it goes into sleep or hibernate mode can not even log into to it using ssh. Is it the OS or is it the Rock64?

My PineTime came yesterday and when I got it up and running I noticed that trying to update the PineTime through IOS (my fiancée has an iphone 11) is nearly impossible I am stuck at the factory firmware and unable to set the time or date, it’s says January 1st 1970! Can someone please give me a small piece of advice I am a complete novice at this kind of stuff and don’t really have an idea what I am doing. Will I need to get someone with an android phone to set the time and date for me?
