Posted by: zetabeta - 09-27-2020, 11:16 AM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - No Replies

workaround, use atlantic/reykjavik.

  PBP not starting up sometimes / [Firmware Bug]: Kernel image misaligned at boot
Posted by: pato3 - 09-27-2020, 06:27 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (8)

My Pinebook Pro (delivered in August 2020) sometimes won't boot up:
I press the power on key, the screen stays black and the power light stays on orange. 
I have to press the power button for about 5 secs to power off the notebook and try again.
After a couple of tries it will boot normally.

In dmesg I found following Line:

Code:
[Firmware Bug]: Kernel image misaligned at boot, please fix your bootloader!

I don't know if this is related in any way to my boot issue, but it doesn't sound well to me.

Can you tell me what I can or should do?
Thanks in advance! :-)


  Password Issue
Posted by: Doodenheimer - 09-27-2020, 04:36 AM - Forum: Getting Started - No Replies

I'm trying to root my PmOS PinePhone, but my password isn't working in sudo. I'd really appreciate it if someone at Pine64 could help me with a solution because no one else seems to have one. Thanks!


  No Connection to Carrier from Pinephone 3G Model
Posted by: merlin - 09-27-2020, 04:16 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (16)

I got my Pinephone 3G Ram Model and can't get a mobile connection.
The Signal strength is always at 0.

The same SIM Card is working without problems on my old Braveheart edition.

I Tested multiple distros, some could read out the carrier name but all have 0 Signal.
Also factory test says "Not Registered" and signal strength of -90db.


Could my modem be broken?

Currently postmarketos is installed.
How to debug this?

Thank you.


  Software Repos

I am a Linux user with my new Pinephone, want to finally move from a N900 to the Pine for everyday.
I have not had time in the weeks since my pine arrived to do much of anything.
I am assuming that postmarket will have the most developed and filled repos.
Is this like Maemo where we have testing unstable etc repos?
My meager searching has not turned up the deb lines for the /etc/apt/sources or whatever we will be using.
Sorry for noobing but have not had time to investigate and the wiki is sparse on this topic.


  Who remembers the Parallella SBC with 18 cores?
Posted by: KNERD - 09-26-2020, 06:37 PM - Forum: General - Replies (9)

It was a single board computer, and a big deal around 2016 selling for about $100 USD. Two versions were made. A "desktop" one with HDMI, and a headless one acting as a server only.

https://amzn.to/2Sfs9Vz

The guy who started got tired of running the show, then went to work for the NSA to continue work on similar type of CPUs.

Later, as promised, SBC with 64 core CPU was released for open source, but never went into full production. Only a few of the 64 core CPUs/SBCs were manufactured to those who donated X amount to the original kick starter. I also believe design for a 1024 core  processor were also released.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ada...r-everyone

The CPU plans are open source.

Here is a video he did a while back on it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5M79QFz3F8


I bring this up because a while back, he put out asking if someone wanted to take over the project. I am not even sure if anyone did.


Here is his blog post on it

http://www.adapteva.com/andreas-blog/adapteva-status/


Quote:I have tried my best to ensure that the Parallella and Epiphany technology lives on, but clearly at this point the platform will need someone else to step up to the plate in my absence to push the technology forward. If you still believe in Parallella and Epiphany and want to contribute or otherwise collaborate with Adapteva send an email to “support@adapteva.com”.



So with all the great work the Pine64 folks have been doing, I think it would be great if they could continue this work.

Maybe @Luke  could take a look into this.

Thanks!


  Screen Immidiately fades to black when unlocked.
Posted by: RWXYZ - 09-26-2020, 05:57 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - No Replies

Hardware: Pinephone v1.1 Braveheart
Boot Media: SD card
Software: mobian-pinephone-20200905, mobian-pinephone-20200926
Immediately after unlocking the phone I see the home screen then the screen fades to black but stays on.
The issue is similar, but not exactly the same as the issues in the following threads.
https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=11359
https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=11168

Is it possible to change a configuration file on the boot media after preparing it on my pc to completely disable screen dimming? I would quite like to try out Mobian, but this happens immediately on first boot.


  Phosh and Plasma together
Posted by: stozi - 09-26-2020, 05:42 PM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - Replies (5)

Hi, got my PmOS phone today, it's working better than I expected, quite happy. but I want to switch back and forth between Phosh and Plasma. If I install postmarket-ui-plasma-mobile are there more steps to make that work? Are there extra steps to make it work as with an average distro on a laptop or pc, with a session menu at login? Or will installing that break something?

Thanks, happily posted from my PmOS CE phone


  Cant shut phone down
Posted by: Cree - 09-26-2020, 03:18 PM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - Replies (2)

I have had my own pp for a while and tried all the distros except PMOS because i had ordered a PMOS version for my girlfriend, figuring i could test it when it arrived. 

Well, it arrived!
And.... I can't get it to reboot or shut down.
I don't want to pull out the battery because of the modem firmware corruption possibility. What do i do? 

As far as i can tell phosh prevents shutting down by holding power button, so shutting down through ui is only option.
