  Fix Fake 0% Battery(charged with USB power) Shutdown
Posted by: biketool - 04-17-2025, 04:11 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - No Replies

Since we use towboot we can access our filesystem and fix stuff as needed
After an upgrade which seems to throw a fake 0% and shutdown command at bootup no matter what the battery charge level or plugged in status is;
I am looking for the file which flags shutdown at 0% battery, my battery is charged but now the OS thinks it is dead and will not see charging even done under towboot blue light mountable disk mode.
I have looked at (edited out my local machine to show location in PPp mobian trixie) these files

Code:
/etc/systemd/logind.conf
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.gschema.xml
/root/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.gschema.xml
/root/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.policy

If I were to change the name of systemd-poweroff.service
could I temporarily 'break' the poweroff even if that is like using a 10Kg hammer on my system to get a live phone to run updates?
Code:
/root/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-poweroff.service
plan is to move-rename systemd-poweroff.service to AAAsystemd-poweroff.service run backups and then rename it back
(EDIT)
I did the above and rebooted, now I show 57% after charging from my computer while editing files, I will run updates and fix AAAsystemd-poweroff.service
no apt system updates yet, system is charging so I will wait until tomorrow and hope the un-glitch doesn't re-glitch.


  Battery at full for Pine Time!
Posted by: chris.burmajster - 04-16-2025, 10:24 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - No Replies

Hello Everybody,

I have a Pine Time which was (slightly) bricked, in that it had 1.5.0 on it, a mistake when I should have put 1.15.0 on it. So as it was just $26, I bought another one. When it arrived I put it on charge and waited until it had 68% charge. But it would not do anything, so I put it back on charge. I waited until it had 100% charge and then I was able to use it. I put 1.15.0 on it and it works!

So, I wondered, what about the old pine time? I put it on charge and waited until it was at 100%. Then I used Siglo on my Pine Phone and it not only paired, but allowed me to put 1.15.0 on it! So I now have 2 pine times and I thought that this would be usefull to anybody like me who was just stuck!

  M.2 Adaptor alternative
Posted by: S265 - 04-15-2025, 12:18 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (5)

Hi all. The M.2 accessory for the Pinebook Pro is no longer available from the Pine64 Store. Has anyone come across similar parts that may work?
For example is their such a thing as a flexible cable and M.2 card holder? As the Pinebook Pro is older hardware now, the suppliers may not be interested in replacing these original parts.
It would be nice if a new Pinebook was released with updated hardware, but Pine64 seems to be occupied with other things.


  img2logo workaround for Python 3.8
Posted by: nomakewan - 04-13-2025, 09:00 PM - Forum: Pinecil Software - No Replies

Hello all,

If you are currently "stuck" on an operating system that can only use up to Python 3.8 and are trying to use the img2logo python script to create your own custom boot logos for IronOS, you may find yourself staring at the following error in your console after trying to run the conversion:

[Image: eOHNoNS.jpeg]

This "'type' object is not subscriptable" error occurs because type annotation was added in Python 3.9 and is not present in 3.8 and earlier versions. Thankfully the fix is incredibly simple and does not require changing the part of the code doing the actual work. All you need to do is add a single line at the very top of the file:

Code:
from __future__ import annotations

The above should go on line 3, above the line with "division" in it. Once you add this single line, img2logo will work perfectly.

Hope this helps!


  Keyboard availability?
Posted by: KaylaMarie81 - 04-13-2025, 08:52 PM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Accessories - Replies (2)

Has the keyboard case for the PinePhone Pro been discontinued? It shows up as out of stock and I can't find anywhere that carries it.

Thanks!


  [Article] Creating the Unicorn Emulator for Avaota-A1 SBC (Apache NuttX RTOS)
Posted by: lupyuen - 04-12-2025, 06:04 PM - Forum: General - No Replies

Apache NuttX RTOS is officially supported on Avaota-A1 Arm64 SBC (Allwinner A527 SoC). Let’s take Unicorn Emulator and create a Software Emulator for Avaota SBC...

(1) We call Unicorn Library to create our Barebones Emulator

(2) Emulate the 16550 UART hardware by intercepting I/O Memory

(3) Recompile NuttX with 4 Tiny Tweaks and boot on Unicorn

(4) NuttX makes a Context Switch and fails

(5) Because Unicorn doesn’t handle Arm64 SysCalls?

(6) No worries we’ll Emulate Arm64 SysCalls ourselves!

(7) By jumping into the Arm64 Vector Table

(8) NuttX on Unicorn boots to NSH Shell! (Almost)

(9) How exactly does NuttX boot on Avaota SBC? We have a Detailed Boot Flow

Why are we doing this?

-- So we can create NuttX Drivers and Apps on Avaota SBC Emulator (without the actual hardware)

-- Avaota Emulator is helpful for NuttX Continuous Integration, making sure that all Code Changes will run correctly on Avaota SBC

-- The Trade Tariffs are Terribly Troubling. Some of us NuttX Folks might need to hunker down and emulate Avaota SBC, for now.

-- Or maybe we should provide Remote Access to a Real Avaota SBC? ?

Question Request for CAD files of the pinenote
Posted by: Szybet - 04-08-2025, 03:30 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineNote - No Replies

Hello

I would like to request CAD files of the pinenote, as I would like to design a 3D printed case for it. For other pine products they are usually on the wiki, while for the pinenote they are missing.
Thanks!


  beta release of a Linux mobile app strength training app
Posted by: coryholl - 04-07-2025, 07:27 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - No Replies

I have written a mobile strength training app which runs on Linux mobile devices.  I recently made a beta release of the app.

Here is an app website with further info:

Muscle Buddy

Source tarballs and AppImages are available for download here.

I own a PinePhone and PineTab2 which the app works on and I am interested in how well it works for other PineTab users.

Any feedback would be highly appreciated.

I am going to post a similar message to the PinePhone and PinePhonePro forums.  Hope people do not view that behavior as SPAMing.

Thanks.  Tongue
