  Wifi very slow on PBP Manjaro
Posted by: motezart - 10-12-2020, 05:26 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (3)

My pbp  is 1 month old running default Manjaro it came with. 

I am able to connect to wifi but I am only gettting 0.33, and up to 1,5 Mbits/s. On the same connection my phone get 12+ Mbits/s.

What are some tips for me to debug this? I'm not even sure how to do the proper updates.

So far I've done all the updates in the software center, in whatever the UI system is on Manjaro (separate question: what is the UI/GUI called on Manjaro), and ran pamac update && paman upgrade and this did some stuff.


  Won't boot with SATA card
Posted by: rjzak - 10-12-2020, 05:23 PM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (4)

I'm trying to set up the Pine64 NAS. Here's what I've done:

* Installed Armbian Focal 20.04 on to the eMMC module, using Pine64 5A adapter.
* System worked fine, installed software. No problems.
* Installed the SATA card from Pine64, no hard drives yet. lspci shows the card.
* Installed 2 Seagate Iron Wolf HDD
* Booted the system, and it sees /dev/sda and /dev/sdb.
* Installed mdadm, created a new partition /dev/md0 based on /dev/sda and /dev/sdb.
* Formatted /dev/md0 with XFS.
* No problems yet.
* Tried to copy a large movie file to the /dev/md0 partition, got an I/O error. Didn't save the error unfortunately, but looking back at my search history shows the line "md: super_written gets error=10"
* I install the latest Armbian, Focal 20.08.9, Linux kernel:
uname -a
Linux rockpro64 5.8.13-rockchip64 #20.08.8 SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 5 15:59:02 CEST 2020 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux
* I saw a few posts about the hard drives drawing too much power, so I purchased a 10A adapter from Amazon.
* Booted the RockPro64 with the new 10A adapter: Nothing. No lights, no fan.
* Booted the RockPro64 with the original Pine64 5A adapter: Nothing. No lights, no fan.
* Removed the SATA card.
* Booted the RockPro64 with the new 10A adapter: Boots fine, I can SSH in, all seems good.
* Powered off, connected SATA card with hard drives disconnected.
* Booted again with 10A adapter: Nothing, no lights, no fan.

Any thoughts? Did the SATA adapter somehow die? I've seen a few posts about using a Marvell SATA adapter, but I don't want to keep buying extra things as replacement for the items which should have worked.
I'm confident that these items work fine:
* Hard drives
* RockPro64 board
* 10A adapter

I have my doubts about the SATA adapter.

How should I proceed? The only thing that looks like a version marking on the SATA card is: SU-SATA3-T2 Ver. 005.


  Mobian License
Posted by: natasha - 10-12-2020, 01:22 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (3)

Hi

I had some problems trying to post an image of pinephone showing mobian apps. My image was removed due to: "Copyright violation: c:COM: DW of phone GUI"

MObian is GNU/Linux right? Can I take a picture of pinephone using mobian, showing apps ? or is is a Copyright violation?

The image was:
[Image: Neo-Image-0-6-20201012163717.jpg]

So, if I am free to share my photograph how can I prove it?
Thanks!


For more information, I got this answer to my complain:
The license of the operating system source code (Mobian Linux) is not necessarily the same as the icons and/or visual manifestation thereof. As an inverse example: a Firefox logo displayed on a Windows 10 desktop would not be subject to Microsoft's copyright on the latter. Do you have a link specifically addressing the status of the GUI/icons? Per COM:EVID, this is something you must provide. (""In all cases the uploader must provide appropriate evidence to demonstrate either that the file is in the public domain.")

This was my answer:
Mobian ( https://wiki.mobian-project.org/ ) is under CC Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International ( https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ ). Anyone is free to "copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format ". I also mention PinePhone was running 'Mobian' cdrediting the OS.

The applications icons are part of the Mobian project: https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=apps

Anything else I should mention?


  Opening the back and screen cracks
Posted by: quipacorn - 10-12-2020, 01:01 PM - Forum: PineTab Hardware - No Replies

Hi all,

I've joined the ranks of those with a cracked digitizer/screen from opening and closing the back panel. This was after I installed a tempered glass screen protector, so I wonder if that's maybe part of the cause (possibly not letting the screen flex ever so slightly when snapping the back on?). With my first pinetab I opened and closed the back 4+ times for testing cables and such (bad touchscreen) with zero issues. With this one, I opened it only once to swap in a higher capacity eMMC, when snapping it back together it didn't feel like there was any extra tension/stress but it wound up with a corner crack. Easy enough to move the tray to the other side so losing touch there isn't a big deal, still going to be one of the first in line to buy a replacement screen if/when they're available. 

So I pose a question/poll. Just wondering how many have popped it open and reassembled without issue or have had a screen crack. Furthermore, if the screen cracked was there a screen protector involved? Wondering if this might be a common mode of failure or not.

  Pinetab Detachable Keyboard
Posted by: karlyn - 10-12-2020, 10:47 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - Replies (2)

I finally was able to unbox my Pinetab with keyboard today.    I have tried the UBPorts, Mobian and Arch images so far.    A reoccurring issue I'm running into is that some of the keys on the keyboard do not work.

So far, it appears the following keys are inoperable ( well, at least keys that echo when pushed without a combination of other keys required ):

qwruasdfjkl;'zx
 
The key repeat speed seems to be different as well on the keys that surround ones that are not functional

When I plug in a USB Logitech K400 wireless keyboard, it seems to function as expected.

Is it possible I have a firmware issue that flashing would solve?     I fear, because it is partially operational that there is some underlying hardware issue with portions of the keyboard.   Any ideas anyone might have would be much appreciated.

On a side note, I must give kudos to the DanctNIX community.   The Arch image is very functional, including auto rotate.


  No shipping option to U.S.?
Posted by: Zebulon Walton - 10-12-2020, 08:02 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (2)

Went ahead and tried to order a pinephone with convergence package and a few accessories (case, screen protector, charger, 32GB micro-SD), and the shipping estimator is telling me there are no shipping options. Is this a glitch in the shipping estimator or can this really not be shipped to my location?


  DisplayPort driver

hello - I wanted to get the HP S14 monitor to work w/USB-C dock.  Can't load the driver since I can't get the Linux headers loaded.  Appreciate some help.


  Recover data from crashed emmc
Posted by: S265 - 10-12-2020, 04:38 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (3)

Manjaro 20.08. KDE Plasma desktop
A while back the PBPro suffered intermittent locking behavior on the desktop. I was forced to reboot as no keyboard actions were having any affect. Upon reboot the logs indicted file system errors. Soon after this Manjaro would not boot at all. . . . . Forward two weeks . . . . .  Manjaro 20.08 is booting on the SDCard.
The emmc device is present as /dev/mmcblk2. I wanted to check it for files that may be recoverable, but I could not mount it with the defaults. The output is
The device - 'doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS'. Should mounting mmcblk2 work with defaults? Any ideas on how to recover data on mmcblk2?

The plan is to copy  my working SDCard Manjaro 20.08 across to this storage device as soon as I can. Naturally any files/data will be lost but I am prepared to wear this if necessary.
