Started up my new PBP this morning, install goes well.  A few minutes after initial boot, the screen freezes - I can use the mouse but nothing works.  Tried letting it sit for 5 minutes or so, no dice.  Had to shutdown.  Have restarted 5 times now and the same issue issue persists.  Can’t seem to do anything in settings or terminal before it freezes.  Any advice??

Thanks for reading

Hi,
 I wanted to flash the another os to the emmc drive.

Therefore I used jumpdrive 0.6 alpha to flash it (https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/PinePh..._Jumpdrive, https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Ju.../releases/)

the old os was mounted to /dev/sdb with sdb1 and sdb2 (root, boot)

No I can't find the emmc anymore. Guess, I would have need to mount it into the root partion only and not the whole emmc? So, the drive is gone forever or can it be flashed with uart?

Does anyone know where or how to catch signals from the power management module. DBUS? /proc? I am porting kalliope and I need to shut down whenever the phone sleeps or suspends or even blanks the screen.

Between ACPI, DPM, pm_utils and Crust I am not sure where to look. Or what to look for.

TIA

I wanted to take out the eMMC and see if it will boot from the SD card, but now it doesn't turn on even with the eMMC back in place. While and while not charging.

I also connected the wires those shouldn't be connected once, and after reading the sticker disconnected them. Hopefully it didn't kill the board


Please help.

Kde is great but I like to run something a little lighter and just happen to think Budgie is  a little better. One approach would be to use pacman to add the budgie desktop package and choose your DE (desktop environment) at login, but I would rather not have to carry around all the KDE libraries for no reason. When I searched around for how to make my own "custom spin" I found some usefull info and thought I would share it here.

Contributing-to-manjaro-arm  was just what I needed. The link lists how to make a manjaro-arm image on an x86 machine.   While there are only a few official supported DE's, I found a way to work with that by modifying the default profiles.  For the remainder of this tutorial we will assume Budgie as the DE.

Picking up from the wiki section "Getting Profiles" we find that the relevant directory is

Hi,
I just got a PBP-ANSI for development purposes and mainly learning programming. My sole aim was to get intelliJ and codegym plug-in to work on PBP and study. IntelliJ works fine but unfortunately I couldnt get codegym plugin to work. I will be selling my PBP inclusive nvme adapter. It's not used at all, just switched on a few times to try. if anyone is interested, please PM me.
I paid 238€ with shipping plus 48 € tax. But I will be willing to sell it for 190 €.
Thanks.

EDIT: Sold! Thanks everyone!

Do not put a blank micro sd card in the phone on initial boot. Maybe it needs to be formatted prior to insertion. but phone will not get past the sign in screen with out a micro sd card.

Hello Pine64 forums.
So this is a strange one to me, but only for the frequency of occurrence - which I'll need to explain.

When using my Pinebook Pro, Manjaro 20.04 Cinnamon DE, it will seemingly power off & simply stay off when it goes to sleep/hibernate. This even occurs, eventually, when no sleep mode is enabled. That is to say: it will power off & won't power back on until I pull off the bottom cover, disconnect the battery connect from the mainboard, press the power button for 5 seconds or so, and reconnect the battery (or power cord - so long as it's getting power).

In my prior years as a desktop support tech I ran across many laptops where the mainboard's little capacitors would not regulate power to the system. Pulling the battery connector out, pressing the power button for 5 seconds or so to discharge the capacitors (I presume), and powering it back on (via battery or AC adapter) gets it working again. But I have to do this so frequently of late I'm starting to wonder if it's an OS issue. It doesn't seem to matter which governor I set via the cpupower utility (I will state I typically run it on the "performance" governor on AC power).

Has anyone got any ideas as to what's going or what else I can try to troubleshoot it?
Thanks a ton!

I have successfully ported the Kalliope voice assistant, https://kalliope-project.github.io/ , to the latest Mobian build, The process was fairly straightforward though the default trigger did have to be replaced with Mycroft Precise.

Add non-free to the Debian Bullseye entry in the apt sources.list config file.
Follow the kalliope install instructions for Debian Jessie
Install a starter kit
Install the precise trigger code for kalliope https://github.com/corus87/kalliope_trigger_precise
Configure trigger word
Start configuring your voice activated services!

When buying parts and accessories from the Pine64 store is there a way to increase quantity ordered of an item? Given the fragility of the Pinephone's back cover and shipping cost from overseas (costs far more than the part!) I'd like to order a couple of spare covers along with some other accessories and parts. However when adding to cart I don't see a way to change quantity, and it doesn't seem to be possible to change the quantity in the shopping cart either. Doing a second "Add to cart" for the back cover does not change quantity in the cart. Am I missing something or is it really possible to only order one of an item at a time?
