hi

can you ship Community Edition: Manjaro with Convergence Package" Limited Edition to Norway? 
and will it work in Norway? (operating frequency bands)
will there be any additional fees for customs if you send it to Norway?

i tried to make a to do list in the text editor. when i tried to save it the file browser was behaving strangely to inputs and then crashed. now it will not show up even if i reboot. i thought it was because i had installed the nautilus apk so i removed it but no luck. i installed geany and tried but no luck

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 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.

Hi.

So i have FibreChannel PCIe x8 card, and i am trying to make it work with my RP64.

Most distros woun't boot with this card inserted, but I have found that Armbian 4.4.192 and MrFixit's debian build 4.4.180 will sometimes boot, and detect the card!

But it happens 1 time out of 6, and i have no idea why. Also I can't understand why this distros can run this card, and others just hang.

Anyway here is two bootlogs: succesful and the one that fails to boot.

If somone knows what is going on - please look at this logs.

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?

I need 4 UARTs, to use board as controller for home automatization: 1 - ZeegBee, 1 - GSM, 1 - RS485, 1 - M-bus. But in documentation, there are only 2 gpio uarts enabled for user. I wouldn't like to use external usb converters, this interfaces should be located on my expansion board, connected to the rock64 by GPIOs. Is there any solutions to solve my problem?

This is just my experience and opinion. I uninstalled Dolphin file manager and I am using a manger called "Files" and my computer is running faster and is much more stable. The reasons of course could be many including operator error. Peace all.

Apparently Manjaro ARM 20.10 was released recently, but how do I update to this version?
There are no available updates in the add software app, and Manjaro is providing the images, so do I need to reinstall the OS on the eMMC?
What's the fastest way to proceed with the update?

Thank you
