Bonjour,
This is my first post on a forum. I am good with computers, but not with Linux.
I bought a pinebook pro this week (4 october 2020) but i have alot of problems.
I am on majaro but my biggest problem is booting, it does not boot from a usb stick, it does not boot from a sd card.
99% of the time it does not boot on a emmca if not powered on 110 volt
90% of the time it does not boot from on emmca if usbC if not plugged
never boots on a sd card.
Never boots on a usb stick
Never boots on a usb3/usb hard drive
I have tried to burn with etcher, many different micro sd cards, even on usb stick
I saw the pine/utube video../. my swicth for booting was ok ... so what else could i try ...
Antoine

I've noticed it a couple of times already after longer use of PBP: touchpad starts misbehaving like cursor is not moving correctly, spurious button clicks are made etc. Now that it happened again I've run xev moved cursor over the window and observed without touching touchpad. Small excerpt:

On average it's about 4 events a second, including micro motions by 1px, no motion at all (same coordinates) or button clicks -- it's actually extremely hard to type this comment now when it happens.
Anyone noticed similar thing? Any clue how to fix it?

Sound defaults to Headset |

The fix is listed in this reply.
Is there any way to prevent the Sound Output and Input resetting to using the Headset?
In earlier builds, the Sound would default to the Internal speaker and microphone, and route audio through the earpiece when making a call.
After an indeterminate upgrade, Output and Input persistently reset to the Headset - despite being changed in the Sound (Settings) menu, or pavucontrol.

| fan continously runs on kernel 5.8 but I need to use 5. kernel for PCIe sata card |

Hi all
so I have an issue and i need to know the options available to me, so I have a Rockpro64 NAS case setup ,running Openmediavault on armbian buster wit kernel 4.4 and ats to control the fan .
My issue is that I get the same fault described in several of the thread regarding the PCIe card , my card fails under intense uploading mounts as read only then eventually remounts as a different drive. not ideal for a Nas. 
so I decided to get the marvel 88SE9230 PCIe sata card and I can confirm that binding the driver to the card using a udev rule does allows the card to be recognised,
as discussed in this thread here.
Quote:Code: root@rockpro64:~# nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-marvell.rules
RUN+="/bin/bash -c 'echo 0000:01:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ahci/bind'"
however the drives are not discovered , so as others have said in other threads I changed to the latest available stable kernel 5.8.13 , success! the drives are discovered and I can successfully mount them.
However the problem I discovered is that all the kernels I tried on 5.(+) caused the fan to run continuously , I couldn't get ats to control it! and fresh image with 5.8 kernel on armbian bullseye , buster (upgraded to 5.8) or bionic with 5.8 would all have the fan running continuously.
so here in lies the problem what are my options?
A) do I have to either have the pcie card that doesn't result in a fault (marvell 88SE9230) and have the fan running constantly? , or have it disconnected ?
B) use the asmedia PCIe card with existing 4.4 kernel so at least I can control the fan but I cant use the card intensively.
C) reduce the sata link speed on the asmedia PCIe as patsnew mentioned in another thread and not use the card intensively.
Quote:You can also try reducing the SATA link speed using "libata.force=1.5G" or "libata.force=3G" in the kernel arguments. That seems to have fixed some intermittent problems with my ASMedia SATA card.
or do I have other options ? any advice you guys can give would be great.

| M.2 SSD Adapter |

I've attached a poll, please reply if you have a PineTab!
Given the previous community update suggesting the next batch of PineTabs will probably be shipped in December, is there any possibility of getting a jump start on purchasing the SSD upgrade adapter? From what was said by Luke, it sounded like they were basically ready to go in the original PineTab shipping but it was just a case of finishing it off.
Pros (that I can think of):
1. More people to test that it works correctly before the next batch. I imagine some people may even want to experiment with attaching other devices too (in theory, M.2 offers some PCI lanes too).
2. The community can get a head start on testing the compatibility of different M.2 SSDs to smooth over non-early-adopters that might expect a more streamlined experience.
3. It has become clear that there is some nack to opening the device up without breaking the display - I imagine it would also be good to have a community article & video describing this process.
Cons (that I can think of):
1. Smaller number of purchases increases manufacturing costs for a small batch. I think some people (myself included) would be willing to pay a bit more for the lower run and it would make sense to have something being manufactured in this time gap between runs. Also it could be a pre-order deal to prevent having to store stock.
FYI: The poll is just to help Pine gauge if there is interest. Bare in mind also that not everybody uses the forum, and some people who say they are interested might not be later.

InfiniTime
InfiniTime is a PineTime firmware that is lightweight, tidy, supported by multiple companion apps and in active development. It's the current factory-default firmware on the PineTime.
The goal of this project is to design an open-source firmware for the Pinetime smartwatch:
Overview
- Fast and optimized LCD driver
- Bluetooth LE (BLE) communication
- Rich user interface via display, touchscreen and pushbutton
- Time synchronization via BLE
- Notification via BLE
- Multiple watchapps:
- Clock (displays the date, time, battery level, BLE connection status)
- Music control
- System info (displays various info: BLE MAC, build date/time, uptime, version...)
- Brightness (allows the user to configure the brightness of the display)
- Supported by 2 companion apps (development is in progress):
- Gadgetbridge (on Android)
- Amazfish (on SailfishOS)
- [Experimental] OTA (Over-the-air) update via BLE
- [Experimental] Bootloader based on MCUBoot

Hello!
So I was trying to add megapixels to my postmarket OS pinephone, and ran into an issue.
Upon running sudo add apk megapixels, it asks for the password.
When I enter the password nothing appears in the terminal, (Keyboard does register presses) and it registers as a bad attempt.
Am I missing something here?
