So I just got my Pinebook Pro ANSI in and right off the bat I found I was having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi under Manjaro. It refused to connect, and kept asking for the password again and again.

I then remembered I had 802.11r Fast Transition enabled across my APs (under OpenWRT). When I disabled it on one of them, my Pinebook was able to connect. Turning it back on kicks it off the network.

Is this a known issue? I haven't experienced an issue with any of my other wireless devices. I'd like to keep it enabled if at all possible. A lot of people in my home make use of Wi-Fi calling, and FT helps with dropouts.

Thanks!

Stay tuned to this thread for up-to-date details regarding the shipping progress of Manjaro CE.
Everything is on track and getting ready for shipment. I should have more details this week.

[30/10/2020]
We're somewhat ahead of schedule as first PinePhones shipped via DHL have already started arriving to their new owners.
Those of you who received DHL shipping notices earlier this week - check the status, your units may have already shipped.

For those of you in the Europe: PinePhones destined for European countries will arrive at the warehouse in Poland soon.
However, end-user delivery times may be affected by COVID19 restrictions - this remains to be seen.

[04/11/2020]
There is a constant and steady shipping stream and no major issues have been encountered so far.
Shipments for Europe are expected to start Thursday - 5 November - and continue over the coming weekend. You should expect to see shipping notifications soon.

[09/11/2020] It has come to our attention that some Manjaro PinePhones have shipped with postmarketOS - please see this thread for details.

I have recently installed a fresh copy of Manjaro using the manjaro-arm-flasher, but when I try to boot the machine it shows a red light on the left status indicator, then I have to wait for a few moments, hold the power button for a couple of seconds and then it gets started with running the OS and showing a green light.

Why is that and how can I fix that so it would start itself directly after the first time I push the start button?

Thanks!

Hi, this is my first thread, I'm new to PINE64 and need help with a Pinebook Pro.

So... My PBP has elementary OS installed on its internal disk, but after not charging for a while (I guess, it can be some other cause), initramfs stops detecting the eMMC... It says something like "UUID=xxx not found dropping to shell", and in the busybox terminal I found out that there's just no mmcblk2 detected! In /sys/block/ there's only mmcblk1 - my SD card! But the eMMC is definitely not dead, because the PBP still can find the bootloader from eMMC.

So what happens inside my PBP so initramfs can't detect it, but the firmware does??? And the problem just dissappears when charging for a while again?


And sorry if this question is stupid and it's on the first page of some documentation and was answered ~90 times on this forum and it would get 1000 downvotes on stackoverflow.

I have a Dell TB16 dock at work and thought of a use case for it with my Pinephone, but since the Thunderbolt connection is normally used for powering a laptop and replacing a 130W, 19.5V power supply, I'm hesitant to plug it into my phone. This means the phone would have to negotiate the dock down to a supported voltage (if the dock hardware allows it) or reject charging at all.

Is there any realistic chance that this would damage the phone, or should it be fine?

Hello community any advice for Phone Rings cant PickUP/Talk or engage call?  Txt message works I am running ubuntu touch internet work as well just no go on the phone function???

the ir receiver is physically in the way.
does anyone foresee any problem with desoldering and removing the receiver?

Hello Pine64 community!
I've been reasonably happy with my PbP since receiving it early this year. However, I was tinkering around with some things & installed the former Debian-based factory OS & noticed that there's a CPU frequency widget that lets me set the CPU to 2GHz. I forgot this was a thing, so tried to set my CPU frequency (using the "cpupower" terminal utility) but the max I seem to be able to manage is 1.42GHz. I've tried a few different distros on a microSD but run Manjaro as my daily, so I'd like to know a couple things:

1) is it possible to set the CPU to 2GHz?
2) is it known why 1.42GHz is (or at least, is reported as) the maximum?

I thought maybe it was just an oddity with the Debian distro but it seems that 2GHz is reported in Pine64's documentation as the maximum frequency.

Any insight and/or suggestions would be appreciated!

Got my camera, unboxed it, noticed one issue right away, the sensor(?) ribbon cable was not connected, which is easy enough to re-plug.  I'm guessing that manipulations of the wifi antenna (brown piece in the middle of first pic) made it come loose.  It's a rotate-to-close connector on the rear board, with the cable positioned in a way that any significant pressure would be towards the open position.  

Will give it a whirl tonight to see how things work.

On my PinebookPro running Majaro, I try to setup a ffmpeg streaming server.

I start ffmpeg this way:
